UNC Charlotte Director of Athletics Mike Hill sits down with ADU’s Tai M. Brown to reflect on the evolution of his leadership philosophy in the post-COVID intercollegiate athletics enterprise and offer insight into the power of relationships. Hill and Brown discuss the impact of former Florida Head Men’s Basketball Coach/current Chicago Bulls Head Coach Billy Donovan on Hill’s understanding of relationships. Hill: “It’s always about the people… it’s about the relationships and the people that we accomplished what we accomplished. Your family matters more than anything. At the end, these jobs go away… how you go about your day to day life, it’s easy to forget in the busyness and chaos of our job what it’s really all about. … You can be a champion and still treat people with kindness and respect.”
