Ron Lykins is the winningest coach in the NWBA's history. His wheel print on the game speaks for itself: 2x Paralympic Gold Medal Winning Coach with the USA Women in 2004 and 2008 and 2x Gold Medal Winning Coach with the USA Men wheelchair basketball in 2016 and 2020. Ron recently announced his retirement from the National Program. In this episode, Ron and DK talk about his early beginnings in the game, his time at the University of Kentucky, how he developed his coaching skills, his time with the USA women, and most recently the challenges he had to overcome due to the global pandemic as the USA Men sought to defend their title in the postponed Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games in 2021. We invite you to give this episode a good listen to honor the man and the legacy of Coach Ron Lykins.
