Contestants put their knowledge and skills to the test through a series of high-pressure, analytics-focused challenges such as the draft challenge, media session challenge, hiring a coach challenge, and the trade rumor challenge. From participating in a mock post-game press conference to drafting franchise building blocks and selecting a starting five lineup, the contestants were put under the watchful eye of an All-Star panel of judges, including former GM Billy King, WNBA star Renee Montgomery, and former GM Wes Wilcox.  At the end of the 3 episodes, the judges selected Calida as their winner based on the performance and results of the challenges. You can watch all 3 episodes of GM School here:Episode 1: https://youtu.be/yCpvOpov7Q8Episode 2: https://youtu.be/JeE7QpO0L0QEpisode 3: https://youtu.be/3D9SI7RmKcQConnect with Beau Estes: Twitter Connect with Calida Taylor: LinkedIn | Instagram | Twitter
