The Gazette's Jeff Johnson and Jeff Linder bring back the Prep Basketball Podcast in 2023 with a loaded first show.

First up, a quick run through the season so far — which boys’ and girls’ teams have stood out? Then, it’s on to the season’s new elements. How has the shot clock affected play? How have the Iowa High School Athletic Association’s official rankings worked?

Finally, we discuss Linder’s conference realignment wish list. How would these changes benefit the Iowa high school sports landscape?
