Ep. 27: Tambra Brenner
When I first started this\xa0podcast last fall, covering all things Pacers, Tambra Brenner was one\xa0of several individuals \u2014 beyond the coaches and players \u2014\xa0at Pacers Sports & Entertainment I thought fans would enjoy hearing from.\nBrenner is the travel specialist at PS&E. Her primary responsibilities include managing the travel for the 10 scouts or so employed by the team. Most of them\xa0typically spend more than 220 days on the road and Brenner can help\xa0ease\xa0that challenge and hopefully make it a smooth process.\nShe also manages the travel for any guys the Pacers bring in, like\xa0the draft hopefuls. Over the last month and a half, she\u2019s booked flights and hotels for nearly 50\xa0prospects.\xa0There is also free-agent camp, Summer League, and signings come free agency in July.\nMeantime, scouting is\xa0a 365-day job so once the draft is over, they\u2019re continuing their research and evaluation for future years.\nI hope that you enjoy this unique interview.\nSubscribe to the Pacers Podcast\xa0on iTunes.
