Increasingly, sports teams, especially in the NBA, are hiring "sleep coaches" to help players. This follows research that good sleep can be as beneficial as performance-enhancing drugs.

Team Bandwagon is back to full strength as we talk about the Boston Marathon as it has Illinois ties, Illini sports and its transfers, and the rise and success of the new franchise in the NHL. Also, we bring in avid NBA fan and producer of the show 21st, Alan Montecillo, as he talks about the NBA Playoffs. 

Bandwagon talks to Nancy Fahey, one of the most successful Division III basketball coaches ever, about her transition from Washington University to the University of Illinois. Plus all the other usual shenanigans. 

We dive into wacky sports injuries, discuss why everybody hates sports commissioners, and look at a new ownership model created by the Utah Jazz. Plus, Travis Tate provides a history lesson into a big rivalry in the 45th state.
