00:00:00.840 --> 00:00:06.200
Steve Rivera and Jay Gonzalez. They
have their eye on the ball on two

2
00:00:06.280 --> 00:00:11.880
sums Sports stage yet Fox Sports fourteen
fifty streaming live. I mean I heard

3
00:00:12.039 --> 00:00:16.640
Radio Warm they welcome back to whine
about here on Fox Sports fourteen fifteen.

4
00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:22.679
I'm Steve, He's Jay. Now
we have Jason with breaking news bases eigh

5
00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:29.640
on the ball, breaking news.
Arizona. Zulus Dabella's signed a two way

6
00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:36.359
contract Philadelphia seventy sixers as an undrafted
free agent. So that happened like immediately

7
00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:39.600
after the draft. It was barely
over right, and he talked about that

8
00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:43.399
Tommy did. He was with them
at a parody last night and he said

9
00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:47.240
all these things in the back door
back rooms. Yeah, we'll play that.

10
00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:49.479
But I had to go do some
research on what does the two way

11
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:54.039
contract mean? So basically, Zulus
is on the G League, so he's

12
00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:58.119
getting paid what would lead players get
paid, which between eighty five and ninety

13
00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:02.479
thousand dollars a year or a season. So you know, he he get

14
00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:04.359
he finished, go going to this
point where making he finished the school,

15
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:08.840
doesn't even graduate, but he's gonna
make ninety grand, uh, you know

16
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:15.280
playing basketball if he if he gets
called up to the seventy six ers anytime

17
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:18.680
during the season. His salary is
a half a million dollars a year,

18
00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:23.040
which is half of the rookie salary. So he got a pretty good job,

19
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:26.599
you know. Uh, you know, and the Sixers thinking enough of

20
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:30.439
him to sign him to that contract
and make him available to them during the

21
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:33.640
regular season. And if he doesn't
make this contract at some point, if

22
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:37.640
he doesn't, he'd go home and
make that same money right in Europe.

23
00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:40.599
Right. So I wish I had
his problem. I wish I had his

24
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:42.840
problem too, and I wish I
was making that right now. Um.

25
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:48.799
But Tommy talked about being with the
Zulis last night during the during the draft,

26
00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:52.359
and he had a draft party,
but kind of nobody was expecting he

27
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:53.040
was going to be drafted. Here's
what he had to say about it.

28
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:57.239
I mean, I was extremely happy
for Zoo and h you know, we

29
00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:00.439
were all together last night, you
know, and you know the that that

30
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:02.799
back half of that second round is
crazy, and um, you know,

31
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:07.920
I mean they should probably do a
thirty for thirty or a documentary on him

32
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:10.879
with his many moving parts and picks
happen in every two minutes and agents calling

33
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:15.159
players and asking him if they would
you know, if they draft you,

34
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:17.240
would you be willing to be stashed? And you know, an agents telling

35
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:22.240
teams don't draft him here because we
think we got a two way there and

36
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:25.439
there's a lot of moving parts and
uh and so you know, I think

37
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:29.639
you know, with them, you
know a bit of time to go in

38
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:31.240
the draft. I think Zoo,
you know, knew he had that in

39
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:34.800
his back pocket and that's what he
wanted to do. And so I think

40
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:38.400
that's what they pursued. You know, him and his agents pursued the opportunity

41
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:42.520
to get a two way with Philly
as opposed to get drafted by another team.

42
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:45.439
And and so I know, I
mean, z he was awesome.

43
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:47.520
He was you know, he was
a really special moment, you know,

44
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:50.960
for him to get it, and
uh, you know, trust me,

45
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:54.439
there was zero disappointment in the room
when his name didn't get called, because

46
00:02:54.439 --> 00:03:00.199
obviously he knew what opportunity he had
and he was extremely grateful and extremely happy.

47
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:05.400
Good for us, right because a
great guy, I mean, just

48
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:08.159
a great, great guy the whole
time he was here, did the work.

49
00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:15.960
I think that's what you know,
people appreciated him the most. Um

50
00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:19.919
there's a clip up there that says, to Bella, above that, above

51
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:23.039
the songs, I believe you gotta
find that and you gotta hit that.

52
00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:32.360
They kicked He could say, he
should say they should kick kiss my asses.

53
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:42.039
Didn't know what he said. He
said, they kiss mysy. We

54
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:44.360
gotta keep that. We gotta keep
that. We have to change it.

55
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:47.319
But anyways, Tommy got to ask
you, Okay, how how will his

56
00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:53.120
game uh translate in the NBA?
Will he does he have game for the

57
00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:55.599
NBA? Here Tommy's thoughts, You
know what I mean? Who he You

58
00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:58.719
know he has when he has a
knack for, you know, getting stuff

59
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:00.159
done. You know, whether it's
in the pain, the basket transition,

60
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:04.400
um, you know, um so, I I think you know even you

61
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:09.759
know when he watched him play a
little bit in those uh um you know

62
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:12.919
the combine games. You know you
could just see you put Zoo out there

63
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:15.800
with other good players. I mean, you know, Zoo might not be

64
00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:19.000
the guy initiating everything or you know, making all the highlights or making a

65
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:23.879
bunch of jump shots, but but
you know he's just he's kind of the

66
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:26.399
receiving endo a lot of those plays
and he can just catch the ball and

67
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:28.959
laid up and there's a value in
that. That's that's a lot harder to

68
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:31.040
do than people think. And the
way he runs the floor, um,

69
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:34.759
I think he creates easy opportunities for
himself and his teammates. So, you

70
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:38.240
know, I'm interested to see.
But you know, I mean, hey,

71
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:42.199
like a lot of these guys,
you know you're there, but now

72
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:45.240
the real challenge is in front of
you. You you gotta go at that

73
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:47.480
level with the best players in the
world, and you gotta make it happen.

74
00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:51.160
And uh, and I'm excited to
see Zoe's journey. I mean Zoo.

75
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:54.120
You know, Zoo could have a
jump in him. I mean,

76
00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:57.560
you put him in that environment,
I think he could there's another jump in

77
00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:00.959
his game and hopefully he can access
that they're doing. Disagree with that one

78
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:04.399
bit. You're your guy. You
you spent enough time watching the draft last

79
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:10.000
night to tweet about your your boy
Jimie hawkas Yeah, who who would you

80
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:15.120
think is a better basketball player?
I think they're I think they're very equal.

81
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:18.519
They just played different positions to do. I would say Himie that Himie

82
00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:23.319
went up as as he did,
but he's more He's more versatile, even

83
00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:26.319
though he's not versatile. He well
he isn't. He isn't. I mean

84
00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:30.519
he's you know, he's even more
of a tweener than than than than a

85
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:32.560
Zulus. He's got a better outside
shot than a Zulus. But he's not

86
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:36.000
again, he's still not tall enough
to be that guy. Who would you

87
00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:40.680
start if you were a coach,
who would just start ahead between those two

88
00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:44.560
for that reasons? What? Yeah, and he can do more. He's

89
00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:46.959
perfect for the team than he went
to. Right, he can do them

90
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:48.120
are right, and I'm happy for
him. Plus he's a homie. That

91
00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:50.040
was very cool. Well that's why
you did it. I know, that's

92
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:54.800
why you didn't annoy, but but
it's hard for me to believe that zulas.

93
00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:57.639
Uh, you see all these dudes. This say is how can these

94
00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:00.279
guys be better? And they are. He'll be playing pro basketballs. Yeah,

95
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:02.639
well, of course he's definitely gonna
be fun. All right, West

96
00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:09.040
Virginia is Kurk Cresa is entering the
NCAA trans report in the wake of Bob

97
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:14.279
Huggins resignation. He told, yes, yeah, he did it. Well,

98
00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:15.800
we kind of I heard this kind
of yesterday, but it was looking

99
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:19.199
at the false report. No,
that's true. And I said to somebody,

100
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:25.279
he better of catch that check.
He better check that was not cheap

101
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:29.160
to my understanding, he was not
a cheap check. Yeah, because he'll

102
00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:31.360
be double dipping. Well, the
question, you know, did he did

103
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:34.439
when you get when you get that
you signed a contract of some sort,

104
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:38.519
does he have to give it not? You know, that's like the thing

105
00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:42.759
that Oklahoma the quarterback kid who got
the two or three cars, right,

106
00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:46.120
that's a rattler. Why are you
giving these kids money? Yeah? And

107
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:50.319
then this happens. Yeah, and
that's the thing really broke right before the

108
00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:54.720
press conference started. So, uh, you knows, as you would expect.

109
00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:56.680
Tom. He was asked about Kirk
Creasa. Here's what he had to

110
00:06:56.680 --> 00:07:00.199
say about Kurt Kerr's a special guy
and you know, I love coaching him.

111
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:02.480
Um, you know, I mean
he you know, his spirit was

112
00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:08.879
contagious and he really helped his program. Um, he helped me really kind

113
00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:13.639
of helped establish this program and build
a great foundation. And uh, you

114
00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:17.319
know he was a part of you
know, tons of wins and and and

115
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:21.439
he impacted numerous games and and you
know a lot of the games he was

116
00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:26.480
the deciding factor. So um,
I have no doubt in my mind Curs

117
00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:30.279
gonna be successful in basketball, you
know what, whether it's at another school

118
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:33.560
or you know, professionally. I
mean, he's just a really good basketball

119
00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:36.800
player. So you know, I
mean I enjoyed coaching him, and uh

120
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:41.160
I look forward to following you know, his career. Jay, me ask

121
00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:45.319
you a question that's not there's no
right or wrong answer, like when a

122
00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:50.399
phils. If you were able to
bring him back, this won't happen,

123
00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:57.560
this is not cool. You would
you bring him back? Yeah? I

124
00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:00.480
think I would. I don't know
if the fans want him. I don't

125
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:03.800
think you can put him in the
situation there with all the guys that they

126
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:07.639
got no, no, okay,
would make it two crowd they didn't that

127
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:11.360
they were missing another guard or whatever. Would you, just because of the

128
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:13.560
way you think, would you bring
him back? Yeah? I would be

129
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:16.079
okay with him coming back because he
didn't leave on a bad note except to

130
00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:22.040
certain fans. Not to certain fans
because they're jerks, right, true,

131
00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:24.720
you know the fans, the fans
who were pissed at Kurr are butt heads.

132
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:28.319
I'm sorry, And you know,
I think I know some of those

133
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:33.639
people with some of those people.
But Kurt did nothing wrong here. He

134
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:39.120
did nothing wrong. There wasn't anything
that he did that was bad. He

135
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:43.799
was he was enthusiastic. He was
he was trying to win games. He

136
00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:48.120
played hurt, he you know,
he didn't complain about stuff. He just

137
00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:52.360
went about his business. And people
who were unhappy with him were unhappy because,

138
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:54.679
you know, he blew kisses at
the crowd and stuff like that.

139
00:08:54.759 --> 00:09:00.000
He was still a pretty damn good
basketball player, and I think Arizona would

140
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:03.879
be a much better team with him
here this year. He would add to

141
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:07.000
the team. I mean, it's
still gonna be really good. I don't

142
00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:11.000
know if you trade him for anybody
that they've gotten now, but if let's

143
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:15.320
say they don't get Caleb Love,
I wouldn't have a problem with with him

144
00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:18.039
being here. Yeah, definitely would. Yeah, I agree with you.

145
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:20.840
It's gonna be a tough situation,
but I agree with you. It's not

146
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:24.960
gonna happen. I'm just still just
hypethe. It's not like a field question.

147
00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:26.600
You know, he right the wrong
answer. Yeah, all right.

148
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:33.320
Um. Arizona earns twenty twenty four
commitment of a three star alas Vegas wide

149
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:39.559
receiver Aldric Harris after official visit.
They're getting fifteen. I think they're up

150
00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:45.799
sixteen sixteen commitments for the twenty twenty
four recruiting class. Yeah. Yeah,

151
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:48.600
And there was another word. Twenty
twenty four three star Bay Area offensive lineman

152
00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:54.399
Justin al Kima commenced Arizona as well. Wow, yeah, so there was

153
00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:58.480
that seventeen. I think they're sixteen. Okay, yeah, okay, I

154
00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:03.360
mean, you know they're they're lighting
it up. And look they're getting all

155
00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:07.399
three stars. There's a couple of
four stars in there. Um, that's

156
00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:11.519
who Arizona gets. The fact that
they're getting guys that obviously, you know,

157
00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:15.360
the coaching staff believes in. I
think people have to just you know,

158
00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:18.000
look, they're not gonna go get
ten five star guys like George is

159
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:24.159
getting in Alabama's getting two. Former
Arizona forward Sam Thomas signed to injury replacement

160
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:28.759
contract by the Phoenix Mercury. Yeah, it gets Britdy Grinder and um who's

161
00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:33.039
the other one day in the Tarassi
are both out right now? So Sam,

162
00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:37.000
I mean, god, how how
game shaped do you have to stay

163
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:39.360
in to be able to you know, to do that? Right? I

164
00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:41.679
mean with Sam sitting on her contua
shout. They're running every day. I'm

165
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:46.120
assuming they're always like training, Yeah, because you never know when you're might

166
00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:48.679
get opportunities. So yeah, as
I stay ready, Yeah, you gotta

167
00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:50.360
stay ready so that you get those
contracts, right, Yeah, definitely good

168
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:54.600
for her. Awesome national news,
the Bills announced they they're extending head coach

169
00:10:56.039 --> 00:11:01.679
Sean McDermot and GM Brandon Bean's contracts
through twenty twenty seven. The okay,

170
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:07.440
yeah, I'm thinking about the Rams
coach, but you're right, Yeah,

171
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:11.600
did you think I'm not sure I'm
going to putty more money on the Bulls

172
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:15.720
because I have the last couple of
years. Yeah, I don't know if

173
00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:18.879
my patience is really you think about
who they're you know, you know you

174
00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:24.120
got Pat Mahomes and and uh yeah
and Joe Burrow atually I love Alan,

175
00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:28.120
Yeah I don't. People like Alan, but I think his window kind of

176
00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:33.360
it's closed. It's close when they
closed already they get some ros. I

177
00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:41.159
think they might have a shop.
But what with my homes and then the

178
00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:43.799
Bengals there, I think those two
teams are just so over the top.

179
00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:48.919
Everyone else and watch Miami, and
watch Miami. They're coming around too,

A Football and one of our great sponsors.

wonderful? Thankfully it's Friday. Yes,

284
00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:45.400
we didn't duke to you. Let's
Friday right now. We missed him.

285
00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:48.680
He blew us up. Yeah,
I was not able to get on

286
00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:52.680
last week. I had some stuff
come up, not too important, but

287
00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:57.079
you know, okay, cool cool, So let's uh, let's talk about

288
00:19:57.119 --> 00:20:00.920
you a stuff. I know you
didn't watch the draft last night. You

289
00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:04.759
probably weren't surprised about a Zulus.
No, I wasn't. And I read

290
00:20:04.839 --> 00:20:10.160
up on something basically saying that his
agent because he already had a deal put

291
00:20:10.160 --> 00:20:12.240
in place, and I hadn't told
a lot of those teams that were considering

292
00:20:12.319 --> 00:20:15.640
taking him at the end of the
second round not too so. I think

293
00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:18.480
everybody got what they wanted. Well, and you probably you know, you

294
00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:22.640
probably know a bunch of guys who
have gone through that, football players,

295
00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:25.480
you know mostly, but you know, you get to a point where you'd

296
00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:29.000
rather have you'd rather pick the place
that you're gonna go than to be told

297
00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:30.640
where you're gonna go, because you
feel like, you know you're gonna pick

298
00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:33.920
a place where you've got a better
opportunity. Right. Well, yeah,

299
00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:37.640
and I just think, you know, stylistically, I think him and his

300
00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:41.680
agent did the right thing. They're
gonna take a little bit less money,

301
00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:44.240
but it might, you know,
give him an extra few years in the

302
00:20:44.319 --> 00:20:47.519
league to make up for that.
So if he's able to find a place,

303
00:20:47.559 --> 00:20:48.839
then he's able to fit in and
do it. I think he can.

304
00:20:49.079 --> 00:20:52.519
I think he made the right decision. Yeah, no, no question.

305
00:20:53.480 --> 00:20:56.960
A lot of people are saying he
didn't make the decision after he didn't

306
00:20:56.960 --> 00:21:00.880
get drafted, but I think that
was probably premature. Well yeah, and

307
00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:06.039
then Mike, I said, the
agent basically told these guys not to draft

308
00:21:06.160 --> 00:21:08.440
them. So you know, I
know there's a lot of intrigue because I

309
00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:11.200
mean he's the first one down the
flour every single time. He's got you

310
00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:15.240
know, very unique touch around the
rim. And so you know, a

311
00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:18.559
couple of these teams were calling towards
the end of the second round. But

312
00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:22.319
you know, like I said,
I hope for the best and I think

313
00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:25.000
he'll fit in well with what they're
trying to do over there. All Right,

314
00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:29.119
So we're watching We're watching Jed Fish
pile up players for the twenty twenty

315
00:21:29.119 --> 00:21:32.880
four recruiting class. Guys coming from
all over the place. They're beating some

316
00:21:32.960 --> 00:21:36.920
good schools. Been paying much attention
to you who some of these guys are.

317
00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:41.240
Yeah, And the thing that really
annoys me, like on the message

318
00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:45.039
boards or just where ever it is. They're all saying, yeah, but

319
00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:48.039
we're not getting any four stars.
We're not getting any four stars. Look

320
00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:49.839
at the offers that these guys have. It's not like it was back in

321
00:21:49.880 --> 00:21:55.000
the summer days where we were beating
out Portland's State. Like we're legitimately beating

322
00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:59.319
out us off for very good talent. So I just tell all the listeners,

323
00:21:59.359 --> 00:22:02.319
do not look at the stars.
These guys obviously have shown that they

324
00:22:02.359 --> 00:22:06.319
can, you know, build a
team and that can attract really good athletes.

325
00:22:06.359 --> 00:22:08.480
And I think with another year of
Jade Delora there, I think,

326
00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:11.960
like I said, next year,
we might get five, six, seven

327
00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:15.920
of those four stars, just because
they know that he's going to be around,

328
00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:18.559
or at least he's saying he's going
to be around long term. They've

329
00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:22.279
created a family atmosphere. They're going
to start putting players in the league here

330
00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:25.599
of this next year. So people
pay attend to that stuff. No,

331
00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:27.920
I agree, I agree. What
about curR You saw what hapen occur,

332
00:22:29.119 --> 00:22:33.480
right, Yeah, that's just an
important, you know, an unfortunate situation.

333
00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:37.799
I hope he lands somewhere where you
know, he's comfortable and you know,

334
00:22:37.799 --> 00:22:40.680
it just it sucks because he just
I guess, moved over there,

335
00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:45.680
got everything completely done, probably got
an ideal or two, and now it's

336
00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:48.359
like I got to kind of restart, and it doesn't sound like they're going

337
00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:52.960
to hire anyone here anytime soon.
So if they would have had somebody in

338
00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:56.359
mind, they probably could have kept
you know, a mass exist from going

339
00:22:56.400 --> 00:22:57.839
on over there. And I thought
they were actually gonna have a pretty damn

340
00:22:57.839 --> 00:23:03.839
good roster. So it's unfortunate all
around. Yeah, you know, when

341
00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:07.039
you when you see something like that, you go, that's when you feel

342
00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:10.200
like you like the fact that guys
can you know, move around, you

343
00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:11.240
know, if they if they need
to be able to do that, because

344
00:23:11.559 --> 00:23:14.839
you know, that was no fault
of his, you know what happened with

345
00:23:14.920 --> 00:23:18.200
Huggins. And now you know,
now you're sitting here, it's the summertime

346
00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:22.000
and your coach has gone, and
what are you supposed to do? So

347
00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:25.480
I don't know, it's at that
time that I think it's okay. But

348
00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:29.240
man, you know we've been talking
to both Ada Barnes and UH and Tommy

349
00:23:29.319 --> 00:23:33.319
Lloyd about the way people are you
know, able to just move around as

350
00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:37.559
much? And are you ever going
to get used to that, you know,

351
00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:40.680
I think there needs to be some
sort of some sort of you know,

352
00:23:40.720 --> 00:23:45.240
regulation, Like mobility is a fantastic
thing, but even these professional athletes

353
00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:48.039
have contracts for a certain amount of
years, so I'm not really too sure

354
00:23:48.079 --> 00:23:52.599
how to solve that. I am
for more UM freedom of mobility, obviously

355
00:23:52.599 --> 00:23:56.240
for the players, me having played
UM and we actually went through a critic

356
00:23:56.559 --> 00:24:00.759
in saying coaching change in a pretty
insane season, and you know, if

357
00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:04.720
somebody wants to lead because there's a
coaching change, or somebody you know,

358
00:24:04.839 --> 00:24:08.319
just wants a better opportunity later on
in their career, I'm for it.

359
00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:12.400
But I mean having you know,
a thousand players in the portal that once

360
00:24:12.480 --> 00:24:15.759
you're kind of like wow, But
once again, it's fairly new. It's

361
00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:19.160
the wild on West, and they'll
figure it out. So we talked to

362
00:24:19.160 --> 00:24:22.160
Tommy today. I don't know if
you listen to any of it. I

363
00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:23.880
know you you must have listened to
or read some of it, because you

364
00:24:25.160 --> 00:24:30.319
got this stuff on Zulus. I
really liked this team, you know,

365
00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:33.720
we talked about this two weeks ago
where everyone was pooh pooing him for the

366
00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:36.480
first month or so, and then
all of a sudden, he's great because

367
00:24:36.480 --> 00:24:41.920
he's done what he's done. Yeah, and then realistically players want to go

368
00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:45.640
play in that system, like the
high scoring system, players want to go

369
00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:48.200
play there. Obviously you can see
we got two Fox Stars coming in next

370
00:24:48.279 --> 00:24:52.200
year. I think every single you
know, player we got out of the

371
00:24:52.200 --> 00:24:56.960
portal is gonna be awesome. Defensively, Caleb loved when he wants to actually

372
00:24:56.960 --> 00:25:00.960
be engaged on defense. He's pretty
good because so he's an athlete, He's

373
00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:03.519
got long arms, he's got quick
feet, so um, you know,

374
00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:06.880
if he buys in the Tommy system
and we have a team that's gonna go

375
00:25:06.880 --> 00:25:08.440
ahead and be able to put up
some points, but we get into a

376
00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:11.400
dog five with you know, like
a team like UCLA, they like to

377
00:25:11.400 --> 00:25:15.079
slow things down. I think we've
got the right guys that have the right

378
00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:17.960
mentality. We can go ahead and
we can step up and play defense.

379
00:25:18.359 --> 00:25:21.880
And that's what I was worried about
last year because we didn't, you know,

380
00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:25.720
have a particularly good defensive team.
So now you've got some of these

381
00:25:25.720 --> 00:25:29.160
bulldogs in there. You got Johnson
from SDSU, who's gonna you know,

382
00:25:29.319 --> 00:25:33.039
be scrappy, get all the get
all those second chance points, around the

383
00:25:33.119 --> 00:25:34.519
rim. You don't have to run
place for him, you know, give

384
00:25:34.599 --> 00:25:37.480
him a loomp every now and then
you still have a more vowel who when

385
00:25:37.480 --> 00:25:41.559
he wants to play defense, you
know, he's not his feet, they're

386
00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:44.039
not as quick, but he's got
long arms, so he's able to block

387
00:25:44.119 --> 00:25:47.599
things, you know, ultra shocks. And then all the guards that we

388
00:25:47.680 --> 00:25:51.160
have, and then obviously Pella too. I think we're gonna have a couple

389
00:25:51.160 --> 00:25:55.759
of first team all defensive guys.
I think that we'll have the leaning rebounder

390
00:25:55.839 --> 00:25:59.599
in the league, and I think
we'll have probably two of the top five

391
00:25:59.680 --> 00:26:03.599
scoring players in the league. So
I think we're set up fine. Well,

392
00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:08.200
you can we're saying, you can
tell Tommy's pretty much at peace.

393
00:26:08.359 --> 00:26:11.799
What these guys like you guys,
you know, all those guys were complaining

394
00:26:11.799 --> 00:26:15.640
about stuff. We're fine, We're
doing good. He likes his team.

395
00:26:17.160 --> 00:26:18.799
Uh, you know, some of
these guys he had, he's barely seen.

396
00:26:19.400 --> 00:26:22.000
But you know you can tell you
can't wait to get him, you

397
00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:23.880
know, to get him over there. They're going to Israel. Did you

398
00:26:23.880 --> 00:26:27.839
know that? Yeah, yeah,
yeah, that's uh. I wish I

399
00:26:27.880 --> 00:26:30.359
was able to do something like that
when there in college. That's uh,

400
00:26:30.559 --> 00:26:34.480
that sounds pretty unique and fun.
Yeah, nood question, no question.

401
00:26:34.920 --> 00:26:40.599
What else is going on with your
life in sports? My wife in sports?

402
00:26:40.720 --> 00:26:42.279
Shoot? Nothing, getting back in
a gym, trying to not have

403
00:26:42.359 --> 00:26:45.799
a dad bought anymore. Hopefully get
down to a couple of games here this

404
00:26:45.920 --> 00:26:49.799
coming. Yeah, I know you
followed you a football recruiting. So he's

405
00:26:49.839 --> 00:26:55.200
now he's a landed fifteen sixteen solid
guys. Uh. And we've talked about

406
00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:59.000
this all the time. I don't
know how you cannot not say this about

407
00:26:59.079 --> 00:27:03.119
Jed. It looks like the trajectory
continues to go in the right direction.

408
00:27:03.519 --> 00:27:07.119
Yeah. Well, and the good
thing is with some of these like in

409
00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:11.079
State Linemens for example, the two
that they got from Apollo Appurn only you

410
00:27:11.119 --> 00:27:12.920
know, they didn't have very many
offers between the two of them, but

411
00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:17.119
they're big, and they're athletic and
they're raw. So it's like, you

412
00:27:17.160 --> 00:27:19.880
know, if you can get a
guy that's as big as you know,

413
00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:23.960
it looks like he could potentially have
kind of an NFL build. I like

414
00:27:25.079 --> 00:27:27.400
the fact that they're offering these kids
and it's gonna pay dividend on the road.

415
00:27:27.640 --> 00:27:30.519
And then this is the thing.
If you missed out on them or

416
00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:33.119
they don't develop, you still have
the transfer port to get too. So

417
00:27:33.559 --> 00:27:36.519
I think they're doing it right.
I heard nothing but good things about the

418
00:27:36.559 --> 00:27:40.200
running back from Apole that we got. He wasn't rated very high, but

419
00:27:40.319 --> 00:27:42.759
that's just because, like I said, you know, they're watching other running

420
00:27:42.799 --> 00:27:45.960
backs or you know, these analysts
and of them just maybe you haven't made

421
00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:49.359
it out there. You never know, so but we beat you know,

422
00:27:49.359 --> 00:27:52.359
we got him, We beat out
col a couple of other really legit Division

423
00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:56.279
one offers that put players in the
NFL all the time. So obviously we're

424
00:27:56.279 --> 00:28:00.240
doing something right. And if you're
able to get a lot of these state

425
00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:03.799
kids, especially uh, you know
the kid from South Point, the defensive

426
00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:07.440
line killing. I mean that dude. He's not polished by any means,

427
00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:10.160
but you watch some of his tapes
when he was at the you of a

428
00:28:10.279 --> 00:28:14.359
camp and you're like, if you're
a defensive line coach, yeah, I'm

429
00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:17.279
offering a kid like that any day
of the week. And he was finally

430
00:28:17.279 --> 00:28:22.200
starting to turn it into a national
recruiting deal. They're they're starting to get

431
00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:26.279
some interest from SEC schools. Obviously, they have offers from Ucla Washington again

432
00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:30.319
to legit schools that put people in
the league every year. So we're doing

433
00:28:30.359 --> 00:28:33.599
fine. I really like the trajectory, and um I think he's going to

434
00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:37.160
keep doing it. So as long
as we can keep recruiting and we're an

435
00:28:37.160 --> 00:28:41.319
attractive offense and we get some more
big guys there in the defensive line,

436
00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:42.680
I think we're gonna be set for
the next few years. Well, well,

437
00:28:42.680 --> 00:28:45.039
you gotta be happy that they got
a foot in the door. Finally

438
00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:51.000
at South Point. We've been putting
out Division one players for years and none

439
00:28:51.039 --> 00:28:53.279
of them that seemed to end up
in Arizona, or we got one that

440
00:28:53.759 --> 00:28:57.559
transferred back, but you know,
they just haven't they just haven't gotten them.

441
00:28:57.599 --> 00:29:03.440
And now you got you got oh
yeah, well in the last staff,

442
00:29:03.640 --> 00:29:07.039
you know, they just automatically assume
they weren't gonna they weren't gonna land,

443
00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:10.359
you know, Lates and Ransom or
you know, Bejon and so like.

444
00:29:10.519 --> 00:29:11.799
It's just one of those things to
where some of these kids that go

445
00:29:12.000 --> 00:29:15.559
up in Tucson, you have a
legit chance to keep them here, even

446
00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:18.000
if it is a national recruitment,
because they want to be close to the

447
00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:21.480
family. You know, they want
to stay in town, close to their

448
00:29:21.480 --> 00:29:23.240
friends, stuff like that. So
the fact that you don't ever show up

449
00:29:23.279 --> 00:29:26.039
like that makes no sense. These
guys are literally right down the street from

450
00:29:26.039 --> 00:29:29.960
the school. They show up.
They loved up these kids. They let

451
00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:32.839
them know that they do want to
help mentor them and get them to the

452
00:29:32.880 --> 00:29:36.559
next level. And if you're a
good player and you know you have a

453
00:29:36.599 --> 00:29:40.359
legit chance at making it to that
next level, that's very appealing, especially

454
00:29:40.440 --> 00:29:45.440
staying close to home. So given
that you live in the enemy country territory,

455
00:29:45.799 --> 00:29:48.279
what do you hear about the football
team. I make sure everyone's excited

456
00:29:48.319 --> 00:29:52.480
because of a new coach, much
like Arizona was two three years ago.

457
00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:56.039
I have a feeling that them and
Colorado are both going to have a root

458
00:29:56.079 --> 00:30:00.240
awakening. They might win a game
or two in the beginning of the year,

459
00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:03.279
but then I think that both of
them have so much left to do

460
00:30:03.359 --> 00:30:06.559
with the roster overhaul. But I
just have a feeling that neither of those

461
00:30:06.559 --> 00:30:08.759
teams are going to win more than
three games. It's one of those things.

462
00:30:08.960 --> 00:30:12.240
And by the way, guys and
Chandler, I see more Arizona stuff

463
00:30:12.240 --> 00:30:17.920
out in people's yards and the cars, so you know, they get they're

464
00:30:17.960 --> 00:30:19.160
getting the message up here, and
because you know, we were down for

465
00:30:19.200 --> 00:30:22.920
those few years, you know,
on the someone era, and now we

466
00:30:22.039 --> 00:30:26.279
finally got the cut back in Tucson
and our trajectory is going way up.

467
00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:29.039
Well, there's this kind of stagnant
right now. I have a feeling that

468
00:30:29.039 --> 00:30:30.480
you're going to see more people put
stuff down in their front yards. Now,

469
00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:34.000
okay, I have I have a
Are you a bitter Wildcat fan or

470
00:30:34.039 --> 00:30:37.759
not? Are you rooting for j
Johnson at at LSU to win a national

471
00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:44.039
championship in baseball? I could care
less if we're not in the College World

472
00:30:44.039 --> 00:30:48.640
Series. I'm not watching that stuff
anyway. Well, I'm applauding you a

473
00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:52.359
bitter old man. I'm a bitter
old man. I'm not rooting for it.

474
00:30:52.200 --> 00:30:56.480
No, I'm not rooting against him. But if they lose, I'm

475
00:30:56.480 --> 00:31:02.759
not gonna you know, I'm not
gonna be upset about it. Okay.

476
00:31:02.839 --> 00:31:04.359
I'm just that kind of a guy, Jake, And you know that.

477
00:31:04.359 --> 00:31:07.720
That's okay. I know I know
I am too for you know, for

478
00:31:07.759 --> 00:31:11.440
football and basketball for the most part. The other sports, I don't really

00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:14.880

her father. So yeah, that's

who followed baseball, those who followed
baseball, I can see. I can

502
00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:40.759

00:32:45.400 --> 00:32:47.599
he left too. I mean,
well that was the old thing. You

505
00:32:47.680 --> 00:32:51.400
know, there's certain ways, right, I mean, if you got a

506
00:32:51.400 --> 00:32:52.559
better job, you got a better
job. But you know, you went

507
00:32:52.599 --> 00:32:55.200
from the college World Series to go
over there. You didn't even come home

508
00:32:55.200 --> 00:32:58.559
with his guys to go over there
and get me, you know, make

509

later than was the head go to the

510
00:33:00.319 --> 00:33:02.759
LSU I was. I got up
this morning for whatever reason, I was

511
00:33:02.759 --> 00:33:07.359
listening to the competition Justin and Olie
and Ali was the guy kind of saying,

512
00:33:07.759 --> 00:33:10.759
uh, he did it during the
game. During the games. It

513
00:33:10.880 --> 00:33:14.039
was it was not like, hey, dudes, could you wait a week

514
00:33:14.119 --> 00:33:16.480
or so? Could you wait just
I'm still here working. Yeah, it

515
00:33:16.519 --> 00:33:19.799

00:33:19.799 --> 00:33:22.599
you in the back. All yeah, that's how it seemed. Yeah,

sad. I know. The right answer

518
00:33:25.599 --> 00:33:28.920

would you do? The right answers,

521
00:33:35.599 --> 00:33:38.240
of mine who's he'll be proud that
that every thing it is. He said,

522
00:33:38.799 --> 00:33:45.039
you learn more about a person than
the way they leave, then you

523
00:33:45.119 --> 00:33:47.519
know the way they got, no, no question, The way they leave

524
00:33:47.559 --> 00:33:51.680
tells you a lot about who they
are. And that's that's what that was.

530
00:34:20.760 --> 00:34:23.039
forty years. Now take a look
back at the Ludolson era. In my

531
00:34:23.119 --> 00:34:25.639
new book, Lessons from Loot,
it was a labor of love through the

532
00:34:25.639 --> 00:34:30.519
eyes of twenty five former players,
coaches and friends to give insight to the

533
00:34:30.599 --> 00:34:34.079
coach and the man who led them, competed against them, and inspired them

534
00:34:34.079 --> 00:34:37.719
twenty five chapters for his twenty five
years as Arizona's beloved coach. Lessons from

535
00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:42.480
Loot is an insight to how he
built the program into a national powerhouse.

Yeah, and we could take a

586
00:38:15.639 --> 00:38:17.519
lot of timey stuff today. It
was nice to have something like that to

587
00:38:17.960 --> 00:38:22.719
chew on today because, um,
so you know, it just it was

588
00:38:22.760 --> 00:38:25.079
just good. So let me say
this. I've gotten a few, you've

589

Johnson. I want to congratulate him

That's fun because the last time he
was at the World Series he certainly wasn't

594
00:38:52.199 --> 00:38:55.840
with us. I knew you were
going. That's a good one done.

595
00:38:55.920 --> 00:38:59.280
I love that. I love it
that. See you're like me. Then,

596
00:38:59.280 --> 00:39:04.320
you know, like the is you
know, he doubled his salary and

597
00:39:04.360 --> 00:39:07.880
then he gets to play in like
a little league field over there in the

598
00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:14.559
sec Those guys are hitting. Those
guys are hitting warning track pop ups that

599
00:39:14.840 --> 00:39:20.239
back home back in the Southeast are
home runs all day. Yea, And

600
00:39:20.239 --> 00:39:22.880
and you know what, you can't
fault the guy for doubling his salary,

601
00:39:23.039 --> 00:39:28.719
but the way he did it,
bro, if they want you on Tuesday,

602
00:39:29.079 --> 00:39:31.719
they'll want you next week when you
wet the bed, right right,

603
00:39:32.039 --> 00:39:36.760
They're gonna want you after you're done, even more after If if if they

604
00:39:36.800 --> 00:39:39.639
would have won a national championship,
Parah's owner would have won it twenty one,

605
00:39:40.639 --> 00:39:47.119
how much more money would he have
gotten because how quickly was is LSU?

606
00:39:49.320 --> 00:39:51.480
You know, they're in the chant, they're in the Championship Series.

607
00:39:51.480 --> 00:39:53.639
Now, I mean, the guy's
good. Don't have to like him,

608
00:39:55.599 --> 00:40:00.280
don't have to like him, but
he's good. This is how I listen

609
00:40:00.320 --> 00:40:05.880
to this. Jay bitter, uh, don don bitter? You know,

610
00:40:06.000 --> 00:40:10.039
just a bunch of bitter over you
guys. Should It's not bitterness. It's

611
00:40:10.039 --> 00:40:15.079
not bitterness, Steve, It's it's
be a man. I'm gonna put man.

612
00:40:15.199 --> 00:40:20.199
Don't don't don't go. Don't go
skulking around like that. I mean,

613
00:40:20.719 --> 00:40:22.800
they would they would have talked to
him the next week. They were

614
00:40:22.840 --> 00:40:25.519
so hot for him, they would
have talked to him. Who else,

615
00:40:25.599 --> 00:40:30.440
who else would have would have turned
that that program around. I don't disagree

616
00:40:30.440 --> 00:40:32.320
with you. What I'm saying is
I'm gonna put you guys as poster children

617
00:40:32.559 --> 00:40:37.239
for the Muppet Men, the old
man in the balcony. You, You

618
00:40:37.320 --> 00:40:40.000
and Jay will take that down.
You and me, buddy, we're good

619
00:40:40.199 --> 00:40:44.320
all day, all day, are
day. We're good. My sons.

620
00:40:44.440 --> 00:40:49.280
My sons call me a hater all
the time. Let's here's the here's the

621
00:40:47.800 --> 00:40:53.519
deal done. Is that Steve doesn't
have passion for anything any team like you

622
00:40:53.559 --> 00:40:57.159
and I do, Right, I
have no passion at all, no passion

623
00:40:57.199 --> 00:40:59.559
at all, he says, sometimes
even says he's not a sports fan.

624
00:40:59.599 --> 00:41:01.320
I know he's sports. He's a
heart. He doesn't have a he's not

625
00:41:01.360 --> 00:41:06.360
a fan of a team. You're
nothing to grab onto. He's from New

626
00:41:06.360 --> 00:41:12.880
Mexico. He'll talk bad about chili
or something. No, I'm not even

627
00:41:12.880 --> 00:41:21.920
good a chili. Another good message. Thanks to appreciate Thanks. We got

628
00:41:21.920 --> 00:41:22.519
a lot of I get a lot
of message. You get a lot of

629
00:41:22.559 --> 00:41:25.000
message. If you guys want to
message us, the ones who've been messaging

630
00:41:25.079 --> 00:41:29.400
us, call us, call us
Richard. I know you had something to

631
00:41:29.440 --> 00:41:32.239
say. He had a good line. I hope he calls um uh victor

632
00:41:32.519 --> 00:41:37.119
victors. You know he's always he's
always just paid and he has just nothing

633
00:41:37.320 --> 00:41:43.000
nothing happy you never had. I
know that's fun. Richard Richard called.

634
00:41:43.039 --> 00:41:45.800
But he's the guy to call.
Yesterday I said, great players, the

635
00:41:45.000 --> 00:41:52.320
great players right ten deep, very
good. This might be him. You're

636
00:41:52.320 --> 00:41:57.639
on the air and I on the
ball, Ye ni up man? Yeah,

637
00:41:57.719 --> 00:42:01.199
did I hear correctly? Your son
wants Johnson win. He's just well.

638
00:42:01.239 --> 00:42:04.440
You also have to remember, though
he was he was working in the

639
00:42:04.480 --> 00:42:08.360
athletic department when j Johnson was here, so he likes it. Hey,

640
00:42:08.400 --> 00:42:15.679
man, well, now you know
which on the trade. That's true,

641
00:42:15.039 --> 00:42:17.280
I know, but he's also got
a player to be named later and his

642
00:42:17.440 --> 00:42:23.679
kid, so you can't you know, I can't trade him. Yeah if

643
00:42:23.719 --> 00:42:28.440
we if I trade my son,
my wife trades me and that's it and

644
00:42:28.519 --> 00:42:30.880
it's over and I'm nothing and you'll
never see that I got nothing. So

645
00:42:31.119 --> 00:42:35.719
yeah, but hey, you'll be
single, man, all the possibilities in

646
00:42:35.760 --> 00:42:40.840
the world. Have you seen sixty
three year old single guys? Don't you

647
00:42:40.880 --> 00:42:44.800
know? They don't have a lot
of pull out there, Nico, you

648
00:42:44.800 --> 00:42:46.320
know, and back in my day
twenty eight years old. Yeah, okay,

649
00:42:46.320 --> 00:42:52.440
but not that sixty three and and
fading fast. So no. Anyway,

650
00:42:52.599 --> 00:42:55.960
Hey, there's always the Bunny Ranch
for guys like he doesn't make enough

651
00:42:57.000 --> 00:42:59.400
money? Here? Do you take
a receipt? Can I get a receipt

652
00:42:59.400 --> 00:43:07.400
with that? Um? Yeah,
there's the first Bunny Ranch reference on our

653
00:43:07.400 --> 00:43:09.199
show in the history of our shows
that that thing is. We know exactly,

654
00:43:09.320 --> 00:43:12.440
I knew, we knew exactly.
Do you know what the Bunny Ranch

655
00:43:12.559 --> 00:43:15.199
is? Jason? No idea?
Okay, good, because we're not gonna

656
00:43:15.239 --> 00:43:17.199
tell you too, that would just
corrupt the hell out. Yes, we're

657
00:43:17.239 --> 00:43:21.440
just gonna we don't pay you enough
to do that that we're gonna leave that

658
00:43:21.480 --> 00:43:23.679
one. So so Richard, we
talked, Richard may call. We have

659
00:43:23.760 --> 00:43:28.239
nine minutes. So we talked about
this team that they have this year and

660
00:43:28.280 --> 00:43:35.440
I don't kind of disagree with very
good team right pieces fast. Richard says,

661
00:43:35.440 --> 00:43:38.199
are they good enough to be Princeton? You know again, man,

662
00:43:38.599 --> 00:43:40.920
you know the haters, the haters, the haters, and you know,

663
00:43:42.039 --> 00:43:45.800
but but then again, until you
fix that, you give them something to

664
00:43:45.840 --> 00:43:47.119
hang on, no question. In
fact, in fact, I wanted to

665
00:43:47.159 --> 00:43:52.599
ask Tommy that, but he kind
of talked about it with Dka's Yeah,

666
00:43:52.639 --> 00:43:54.400
oh really they were talking about were
talking about that. He was like,

667
00:43:54.440 --> 00:43:57.840
I don't care what they say because
we really haven't talked to him since the

668
00:43:57.920 --> 00:44:02.119
loss, and I'm wondering how how
he and to some people love you he's

669
00:44:02.119 --> 00:44:07.639
talking, Lloyd, But what the
reaction is now? Yeah, exactly,

670
00:44:07.280 --> 00:44:09.880
I hear you. Hi, You're
on the air and I on the ball.

671
00:44:10.960 --> 00:44:16.320
Hi, I wanted to get your
thoughts on one of the kerk Carisa

672
00:44:16.440 --> 00:44:23.000
angles. Okay, um, so
I understand the whole West Virginia thing today

673
00:44:23.079 --> 00:44:28.079
and not hating him for that at
all. I do respect the tradition of

674
00:44:28.119 --> 00:44:31.599
the airs on a Wildcats basketball program. I did think it was odd that

675
00:44:31.639 --> 00:44:38.159
he went through all the rigmarole of
getting the retired jersey number for Steve Kerr.

676
00:44:38.920 --> 00:44:44.960
With that expectation and with that tradition
on his shoulders, I expected him

677
00:44:45.000 --> 00:44:47.519
to stick around for a while.
So just playing the devil's advocate and what

678
00:44:47.639 --> 00:44:54.400
you guys think about that angle of
him taken off early. I honestly didn't

679
00:44:54.400 --> 00:45:00.320
have an issue with him leaving because
you know, you never felt like he

680
00:45:00.360 --> 00:45:02.199
had a foot out the door.
He felt like you to the very end.

681
00:45:02.280 --> 00:45:06.840
He still had, you know,
Arizona on his mind. But what

682
00:45:07.039 --> 00:45:10.719
just again, as you see guys
leave different places, you know, whether

683
00:45:10.920 --> 00:45:15.480
guys and and women leaving different places
for different reasons. I didn't have a

684
00:45:15.480 --> 00:45:19.440
problem with him going. I particularly
did that problem with the fact that I

685
00:45:19.480 --> 00:45:22.480
felt like he had treated poorly by
the fans, and I wouldn't have stuck

686
00:45:22.480 --> 00:45:25.360
around for that another season of that
either. Plus I think that he was

687
00:45:25.400 --> 00:45:29.000
trying to get some an I l
yeah, and yeah, there might have

688
00:45:29.000 --> 00:45:30.960
been the whole few of that and
he did get some man l West,

689
00:45:31.039 --> 00:45:35.800
Virginia. I think that kids,
kids nineteen twenty twenty one, whatever,

690
00:45:36.159 --> 00:45:38.280
if they have a chance to go
and and and still be a star and

691
00:45:38.360 --> 00:45:42.719
get paid for it, Um,
they're gonna do that. They're gonna do

692
00:45:42.760 --> 00:45:46.760
that. Who was Bruce Pasco?
Seems to know something about how much money

693
00:45:46.800 --> 00:45:50.480
he got. Oh, there's a
lot. There was a lot of money.

694
00:45:50.480 --> 00:45:52.880
I could tell you, but I
can't tell you all. It's a

695
00:45:52.920 --> 00:45:54.719
lot. I'm a significant amount.
Yeah. But now the thing, that's

696
00:45:54.719 --> 00:45:58.880
why I said, I hope he
cast a check because now he's gonna probably

697
00:45:58.880 --> 00:46:01.840
get another check somewhere else. Yeah. So I didn't have a problem either.

698
00:46:02.760 --> 00:46:09.440
I just was curious about your thoughts
on using Kurr's number and then only

699
00:46:09.480 --> 00:46:13.320
staying around for two years. Oh
that's I don't think that's a good It

700
00:46:13.360 --> 00:46:15.039
was a good story. It would
last a couple of years. Yeah,

701
00:46:15.079 --> 00:46:17.719
that that act. To me,
that kind of meant nothing. It was

702
00:46:19.159 --> 00:46:22.079
who's this? Who's this? Real? Quick? Yea, Jeff, So,

703
00:46:22.119 --> 00:46:23.360
I don't know how old you are, but you ever make a decision

704
00:46:23.639 --> 00:46:29.639
At the time it seemed fine and
then realized it wasn't fine. Have you

705
00:46:29.639 --> 00:46:38.760
ever been married enough, said Jeff. Yeah, so I didn't have any

706
00:46:38.760 --> 00:46:42.360
issues with the Steve Kerr thing either. I just thought that was kind of

707
00:46:42.400 --> 00:46:45.199
cool that they did that. I
don't I don't think he owed Arizona anything

708
00:46:45.280 --> 00:46:51.280
for that. I was fine.
I didn't have any problem with him deciding

709
00:46:51.360 --> 00:46:55.440
to take his act somewhere else,
not at all. Thanks for question,

710
00:46:55.519 --> 00:47:00.880
Thanks for calling, Jeff. I
appreciate it makes sense. You were a

711
00:47:00.920 --> 00:47:04.079
major decision at the time, and
you say, what the heck that?

712
00:47:04.119 --> 00:47:07.599
I just I think I wrong as
before. So yeah, and everyone I

713
00:47:07.679 --> 00:47:10.159
got what they got out of him
three two and a half years, because

714
00:47:10.159 --> 00:47:14.079
remember you had to sit out for
the first few games of the first season.

715
00:47:14.440 --> 00:47:17.360
Uh, he was very, very
viable, very good some days,

716
00:47:17.360 --> 00:47:21.559
some days not so so good.
No, he was fine, I think,

717
00:47:21.719 --> 00:47:25.039
Uh again, he look, he
came here, and I still believe

718
00:47:25.039 --> 00:47:29.360
he put everything he had into it, and so I don't have any issues

719
00:47:29.400 --> 00:47:31.079
with you know how it ended here
with him. You know, he said

720
00:47:31.119 --> 00:47:36.400
thank you, he was appreciated,
he was grateless on the on the radio,

721
00:47:36.440 --> 00:47:38.400
and when we had him on he
was awesome. So no, I

722
00:47:38.480 --> 00:47:43.920
have I had zero, zero,
zero issues with him leaving and if he

723
00:47:44.039 --> 00:47:47.400
left to go get six figures at
West Virginia. Then holy hell, why

724
00:47:47.440 --> 00:47:52.679
the hell wouldn't you exactly right,
exactly so, no, no, no

725
00:47:52.719 --> 00:47:58.880
problems with it whatsoever. I thought, you know that that's that's what we

726
00:47:59.039 --> 00:48:00.239
that's what it's become. I'm who
we talked about that. We've been talking

727
00:48:00.280 --> 00:48:05.320
about that with you know, with
the day we talked about it with um

728
00:48:06.159 --> 00:48:09.199
Tommy, and I'm sure you know
at some point we had a similar conversation

729
00:48:09.320 --> 00:48:13.679
with Jed Fish. I mean,
that's just what you're dealing with. My

730
00:48:14.000 --> 00:48:15.920
whole thing is, I know we
won't talk about maybe Jed when we have

731
00:48:15.960 --> 00:48:19.760
a chance of Jed. I know
we didn't talk about this with with Tommy.

732
00:48:20.239 --> 00:48:23.679
But to me, the most difficult
thing in today's world of kids being

733
00:48:23.719 --> 00:48:30.000
coached, how do you coach a
kid who's making that much money. That's

734
00:48:30.000 --> 00:48:31.280
a good point. I mean that's
a really good point. I mean,

735
00:48:31.360 --> 00:48:35.840
what do you what do you What
can you say to them? Right?

736
00:48:36.960 --> 00:48:39.679
I could say, you won't continue
to get that money if you don't continue

737
00:48:39.679 --> 00:48:43.760
to improve. Yeah, because they're
not going to pay somebody on the bench

738
00:48:44.519 --> 00:48:46.679
x amount of money. Right?
Does it make sense? Total sense?

739
00:48:46.760 --> 00:48:50.639
It's kind of like can work if
you don't. If you still't sell twelve

740
00:48:50.639 --> 00:48:53.079
cards after selling ten cards a previous
month, right, you're not gonna get

741
00:48:53.079 --> 00:48:58.360
paid. No, I know you're
one hundred percent correct. You're one hundred

742
00:48:58.400 --> 00:49:02.360
percent correct. One more less call? All right, Hi, you're on

743
00:49:02.440 --> 00:49:06.760
the air and I on the ball. How's everybody doing today, Ryan?

744
00:49:06.760 --> 00:49:10.719
What is up? Well? Just
the usual everybody you know, worries about

745
00:49:10.760 --> 00:49:14.960
the basketball team. And they I
don't even think they've had a practice yet.

746
00:49:14.960 --> 00:49:17.679
How they part. I think they've
gone together. But you're right,

747
00:49:17.719 --> 00:49:22.440
you're right. I'm sitting They're going, let's kind of worry about this and

748
00:49:22.599 --> 00:49:27.360
uh, maybe will worry about it
in the middle of December, see how

749
00:49:27.400 --> 00:49:30.480
this things go. Because people are
gonna realize, Okay, we don't get

750
00:49:30.480 --> 00:49:35.239
off to that twelve and one thirteen
and one start, people are going to

751
00:49:35.320 --> 00:49:38.559
freak out. But we've got an
unbelievable schedule this year and it's not going

752
00:49:38.639 --> 00:49:44.000
to be a probably won't be a
thirteen and one start. Maybe we'll go

753
00:49:44.519 --> 00:49:47.119
eight and five, but still be
a better team than we have in the

754
00:49:47.159 --> 00:49:51.599
last two years. And Tommy talked
about that, you know, he was

755
00:49:51.639 --> 00:49:53.400
he was asked, you know,
about working, you know, playing those

756
00:49:53.440 --> 00:49:57.559
games. You just said, we
love playing those games. You want to

757
00:49:57.559 --> 00:50:00.920
play those games, you know.
And I think the fans are going to

758
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:04.360
be, you know, so much
more excited by it, whether they're at

759
00:50:04.400 --> 00:50:07.239
home or on the road or whatever
neutral site. But at least we know

760
00:50:07.639 --> 00:50:12.440
we're not playing the Sisters of the
Part or in New Mexico State, you

761
00:50:12.519 --> 00:50:17.239
know somebody like that. Yeah.
Yeah, Instead, you know, I'd

762
00:50:17.440 --> 00:50:22.000
rather play the Dukes and possibly lose
or whatever, but that's only going to

763
00:50:22.079 --> 00:50:27.079
make us a better team in the
long run, no question, no question.

764
00:50:27.159 --> 00:50:30.599
And that doesn't get into you wins
in March, but it gives you

765
00:50:30.599 --> 00:50:35.079
a better opportunity to see what you
need to do in March, right right,

766
00:50:35.840 --> 00:50:37.320
and I'll prepare you for the conference. It might be better. Yes,

767
00:50:37.360 --> 00:50:40.639
I agree, totally agree. Yeah, okay, all right, Brian,

768
00:50:43.360 --> 00:50:45.880
you have a good weekend too,
thanks to budd turned out to be

769
00:50:45.920 --> 00:50:49.199
a pretty good week. You had
some pretty good guests. Yeah. Yeah,

770
00:50:49.519 --> 00:50:52.840
if ever written any of them down
or we had one yesterday. There

771
00:50:52.880 --> 00:50:57.800
was very good shoes, a lot
of fun. Yeah, Um, bend

772
00:50:57.800 --> 00:51:00.400
of Beard. We had to do
a Barnes earlier in the week. Um,

773
00:51:00.480 --> 00:51:05.719
we got some some a little clarity
on what some of these UH groups

774
00:51:05.719 --> 00:51:08.599
are that are that are helping get
money too to the athletes where we had

775
00:51:08.639 --> 00:51:14.599
Adam Lazarus from UH from Arizona assists
on UM. We got to find somebody

776
00:51:14.639 --> 00:51:19.239
from from the UH from the collective
Wilbur and Wilma friends of Wilburn and Wilma

777
00:51:19.280 --> 00:51:22.920
Collective and get talked to them and
a lot of stuff. I you know,

778
00:51:22.920 --> 00:51:24.800
we were we were on campus today. So we put in some requests

779
00:51:24.800 --> 00:51:28.840
for some some players and some coaches
and things like that that we hope to

780
00:51:28.880 --> 00:51:31.559
be able to pull in sometime over
the next several weeks or whatever. So

781
00:51:32.000 --> 00:51:35.239
um, it's you know, it's
the summer, man, it's middle of

782
00:51:35.320 --> 00:51:38.400
summer. Got to find ways to
keep everybody entertained. But I appreciate the

783
00:51:38.599 --> 00:51:44.599
Jed Jed Fish Tommy Lloyd of for
what the news conference today talks about a

784
00:51:44.679 --> 00:51:46.000
lot of good stuff covered a lot
of good things, and they think we've

785
00:51:46.000 --> 00:51:49.679
got a lot of clarity I think
on a lot of the stuff going on

786
00:51:49.719 --> 00:51:52.559
around the program. I really,
I really think that we did. Yeah.

787
00:51:52.360 --> 00:51:55.440
Uh, the trip to to we
haven't talked about. So they're going

788
00:51:55.480 --> 00:51:59.559
to Israel, early August, one
of those international things. He thought they

789
00:51:59.599 --> 00:52:02.880
played maybe three games over there.
It's more about life experiences, right,

790
00:52:02.960 --> 00:52:05.960
And he talked about that, you
know that. He said they didn't do

791
00:52:05.960 --> 00:52:08.400
that at Gonzaga the whole time,
but he's looking forward to doing that.

792
00:52:08.559 --> 00:52:12.159
He got put together. Did you
play that two sided? The summer is

793
00:52:12.199 --> 00:52:15.199
not a great place, he played, it's not here, and then that

794
00:52:15.280 --> 00:52:17.280
it's not hot and Spokane, and
so they weren't they weren't anxious to leave

795
00:52:17.320 --> 00:52:22.199
Spokane because of the heat. So
they're gonna go to Israel. They're still

796
00:52:22.239 --> 00:52:25.119
putting the whole thing together, but
it sounds like it's early August. They're

797
00:52:25.119 --> 00:52:29.800
they're gonna be going on this trip
again. As he said, life experience,

798
00:52:29.840 --> 00:52:31.280
but also a chance. These are
the things where you know, guys

799
00:52:31.320 --> 00:52:35.280
can you know, sort of kind
of bond a little bit, and and

800
00:52:35.320 --> 00:52:37.159
those kinds of things. Loue used
to do those all the time. Yeah.

801
00:52:37.199 --> 00:52:42.840
Yeah, yeah, more fun trips
than than than anything. Yeah yeah,

00:52:43.079 --> 00:52:45.079
