YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – Season three of the Eastern Insider rolls on, and this week, hosts Greg Steiner and Alex Jewell bring you exclusive interviews with newly-hired men's basketball assistant coaches Drew Denisco and Bob Simon.

Denisco, a quick riser in the industry, brings a wealth of experience after having served legendary coach Tom Izzo for the last six seasons at Michigan State. He talks about what he will bring to the table at EMU, and highlights what he is most looking forward to for the upcoming season. He also tells a heartwarming tale of his father's impact on his career.

From there, Simon, an EMU alumnus, shares the story of his connection to the Green and White, why this job is a dream come true, and what he has learned along his career journey. He'll also talk recruiting, and his connection to Head Coach Stan Heath.

From gut-wrenching laughs, to incredible stories of EMU's past, and much more in-between, the Eastern Insider is the only show that brings fans all things Eastern, all the time.
