Behind the scenes of a summer basketball recruiting trip

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — YouTube is the home for “how to” videos on tying a tie, formatting an external hard drive, and reading body language.

The video-sharing website has millions of videos that cover essentially every topic known to man, which is why Tod Kowalczyk searched for a yoga lesson on a recent Thursday in July.

The Toledo men’s basketball coach is a creature of habit. He has the same morning routine — yoga and three eggs over easy. His afternoon schedule doesn’t vary. He eats lunch at Beirut and returns to his spacious office at the Chapman Basketball Complex to prepare for the 2019-20 season and pinpoint the best recruits for the Rockets.
