Richmond basketball legend Grant Golden joins Spiders Sound Off for one of our most memorable conversations yet. Grant reflects on the incredible journey that took him from a frightening heart condition as a freshman to becoming one of the greatest players in Richmond history.

We walk through every chapter of his career:

• His recruitment to Richmond and why the Spiders always felt like home.
• The on-court collapse that nearly ended his career before it really began.
• Battling through two difficult rebuilding seasons while standing behind Coach Chris Mooney during the program's toughest moments.
• The magical 2019-20 team whose NCAA Tournament dreams were erased by COVID.
• Playing through the chaos of the pandemic season, including quarantines, false positive tests, and beating Kentucky at Rupp Arena.
• The unforgettable 2022 Atlantic 10 Tournament championship, NCAA Tournament victory over Iowa, and why that championship meant more because of everything the team endured.

This is the definitive conversation about one of the greatest careers in Richmond basketball history.

Two former Richmond Spiders. Two All-Conference players. Two Police Chiefs.

This week on Spiders Sound Off, we welcome Chief Rick Edwards of the Richmond Police Department and Chief Eric English of the Henrico Police Department. Both starred on the hardwood at the University of Richmond before building remarkable careers in law enforcement.

We discuss:

• Their recruiting journeys to Richmond
• Guarding Tim Duncan and facing future NBA stars
• The lessons basketball taught them about leadership
• The unique experience of leading the departments that serve the same university where they once played
• Why the University of Richmond remains one of the best decisions they ever made

This conversation goes far beyond basketball, offering insight into teamwork, service, leadership, and the lifelong impact of being a Spider.
