Correspondent Dan Arritt attended the Big West Coaches Cooking Challenge at the ESPN Zone in Anaheim on Wednesday, giving him a chance to see what coaches are cooking up on and off the court this year.

Check out the video below, leading off with Cal State Northridge men’s Coach Bobby Braswell, to hear what the Big West’s Southern California coaches have to say about the upcoming season. Arritt will have more from the conference’s Southern California media day soon at latimes.com/sports.

Oh, and if you’re wondering, Braswell and Northridge women’s Coach Jason Flowers won the cooking challenge with their ‘chicken shrimp spaghettini.’
