The Green Brick w/ Conor Casey

Steve Smith, Dave Anderson, and Pol Otin O’Callaghan talk with Conor Casey, the Canadian tennis coach, comedy writer, and content creator behind the viral tennis skits. Conor explains how his uncle Leif Shiras and a first sketch about post-match excuses got him started, why Rosemary the ladies league player is his favorite character, and how he balances comedy with real coaching. He also tells the story of Vince Vaughn calming his nerves on a sitcom set.

The conversation then moves to Conor’s college days. He tells the green brick story from Ohio State under Ty Tucker, shares his memories of facing the Illinois dream team, and gives his views on the changes in college tennis and the SEC versus the Big Ten. He also offers advice for new college coaches, remembers his friend Rob Steckley’s talent, and mentions his Spin Butter string.
