Phoenix, AZ (PRWeb) March 11, 2007 -- Jim Haney, the Executive Director of the National Association of Basketball Coaches launches a new internet talk radio show which allows listeners to participate in active, open discussions on current topics in college basketball.

Haney's debut show, "March Madness - Breaking Down the Bracket" will break down the NCAA tournament brackets with special guest, Jim Larranaga, head coach at George Mason University (GMU).
