Great to hear from the people that spend time 24 00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:42.040 with us in the day. We have a good show today, Yes, 25 00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:45.200 I think so. Yeah, we've got some guys that we know we get 26 00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:48.280 for a while. Yeah, catch up on some softball, right, insider 27 00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:52.079 stuff. Right. So we're gonna start at the the first segment, the 28 00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:56.439 first hour. We're gonna have rich Tomy from the Positive Coaching Alliance. Uh, 29 00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:59.840 somebody's been doing some good work up in Phoenix with this, with this 30 00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:04.280 alliance to just you know, get people to coaches to be good coaches and 31 00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:07.439 people to be good people. Right. He's he's got a nice little grant 32 00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:08.840 from somebody. I can't remember who it is. We'll talk to him about 33 00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:12.960 that and then I Yes, yesterday I mentioned that that Brennan. We were 34 00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:16.919 trying to evaluate Brennan right that. I thought that he's probably more toy like 35 00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:22.840 than anybody. That's anybody, And I'm sure Rich will be nice to talk 36 00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:25.680 about what he knows of him and just you know, the background and all 37 00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:29.960 that. And then the other side. Then the other side. We we've 38 00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:32.120 been wanting we wanted to talk to some softball. We couldn't get Caitlin Lowe 39 00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:36.080 just you know, he's busy trying to get a team ready for this packed 40 00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:39.199 off tournament. But the director of operations, Danny Martinez, longtime friend, 41 00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:46.400 good good, good guy pa announcer for the for the home games. Uh, 42 00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:51.599 been involved with softball for hundred years. And so Danny's gonna join us 43 00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:57.199 from from Paulo Alta where they are they're they're they left, they left yesterday, 44 00:02:57.240 --> 00:02:59.680 so they're they're up in Polo Alto. So we'll talk to Danny just 45 00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:02.080 about you know, some feelings going into this tournament. Uh, you know 46 00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:05.840 what they're trying to accomplish. Obviously they want to win it, but you 47 00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:08.479 know, start playing well and get themselves into the NC tournament. But I 48 00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:13.719 saw the coaches their eighteenth in the country with the you know, UCLA sixth 49 00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:19.120 I think it's Yeah, So UCLA isn't the UCLA from the past, you 50 00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:23.759 don't, I'm sure they're good. Well, I think it's what it's that 51 00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:25.439 the other teams have gotten so much better. We were talking about this and 52 00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:28.639 we talked about it with Mike Candre at one time. You know that, 53 00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:31.919 you know what what Mike Andre did here, you know, who's the ground 54 00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:37.400 for bringing bringing softball up to the level of popularity that it is. You 55 00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:39.439 know, kind of created a monster. And there's so many other good programs 56 00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:45.520 now that weren't there. You know that that when when Arizona and UCLA were 57 00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:49.439 just running the show. You know, Oklahoma has just been crazy good. 58 00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:51.960 But you know, you've got a lot a lot of teams and a lot 59 00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:55.360 of the particularly in the SEC, that are really damn good. And so 60 00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:59.680 you know u c. L A is really good. I mean they swept 61 00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:04.800 airs or no, they beaten two out of three. But anyways, you 62 00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:09.439 know there's still UCLA. They're still really good. But yeah, they're sick. 63 00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:12.599 They're number six in the country, not number one. Well in fact, 64 00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:15.439 in fact, let me go through the list and I'm I'm shocked, 65 00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:19.040 to tell you the truth, Who's guess who's number one? Oklahoma. No, 66 00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:23.560 that's why I'm shocked. They're not even number two, They're not even 67 00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:28.519 number three, number four. So Texas, Okay, I had forty five 68 00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:33.240 and six. Oklahoma State had no idea. Tennessee had no idea. Oklahoma 69 00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:40.399 Duke, then U c l a Duke. Duke. Duke plays softball exactly. 70 00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:44.160 Hold on, I'll pick you up on the floor to the terms. 71 00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:48.680 He just fell off as you get him up. I never never would have 72 00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:53.360 gained if you'd have said, if you'd have asked the truck question, does 73 00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:56.680 Duke have a softball team? I would have probably said no. And then 74 00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:00.959 if you sitting the top ten very much exactly. Yeah. So Arizona, 75 00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:10.000 it says, is nineteen nineteen and Washington is eleven. So they're the Stanford 76 00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:13.920 eight, right, And that's and Arizona plays Washington top top four teams, 77 00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:16.240 the top four teams in the in the the Pols twelve. Yeah, so 78 00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:19.879 I think I think Arizona safely in the tournament. You know, they just 79 00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:23.920 gotta you know, you like anything else, right, you get out there, 80 00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:26.800 you want to get on a roll. And uh and uh, you 81 00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:29.360 know, and start playing and start playing. Well, this is the time. 82 00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:31.680 There's you know, there's nothing left to wait on, nothing unless I 83 00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:34.920 have to hold back on. So I'm sure that's what what the conversation. 84 00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:38.399 Yeah, so no, that's good because you know, Dan, like you 85 00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:40.600 said, it has been there with the hundred years, we'll see how were 86 00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:42.800 you actually and you tell him that he's been there one hundred years and he's 87 00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:46.600 only like twenty five. Danny's like thirty five. Okay, that'll make you 88 00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:51.839 feel, it does and married. Yeah, that makes me feel right now 89 00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:58.639 with disappointed. Well that's yours. That's that's a you problem, not a 90 00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:01.959 Danny problem. Daddy. You didn't have time to consult with me. I 91 00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:06.759 guess a good thing. Good thing. He saw what a great marriage I 92 00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:12.040 have and said I want to do that. Okay, you can talk about 93 00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:15.480 the first one. Well, you know, Steve, sometimes, you know, 94 00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:18.079 sometimes you just got to try things out. Okay, Okay, you 95 00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:23.480 have some facts out of your story. You know, sometimes you just gotta 96 00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:27.040 you know, you know, you push on. Yeah, you take a 97 00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:29.480 couple of swings. You don't like that bat, you get a different bath. 98 00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:33.680 The peribial. I'm at the bad place. Okay, cool Cool, 99 00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:36.800 let's allow to digress. We did, okay, no cool. A lot 100 00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:41.879 of things going on. Baseball two up the Big Series this weekend. Oregon 101 00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:45.480 State, no Utah. They got Utah Big Series at Utah. Did you 102 00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:47.399 see what happened they did last night? They went up and beat ASU, 103 00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:51.920 which they again, you know, in the grand scheme of things, it's 104 00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:55.879 a game that really doesn't matter. He doesn't. It's not a it wasn't 105 00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:59.680 a conference game, but but you feel better winning it than you, you 106 00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:02.879 know, the alternative. Yeah, they alternative, so you know, and 107 00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:06.399 I mean I think they used like nine pictures or something in that game. 108 00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:12.120 Is that one of your breaking news? Sorry? But you know they used 109 00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:14.680 nine different guys out of the bullpens, so they didn't use any of their 110 00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:17.319 you know, we regular starters, which is and then they went up there 111 00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:20.600 and won that game. And you know SU had handled them, uh you 112 00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:24.079 know before this, so you know, good for them to come out of 113 00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:30.800 playing the Grand Canyon. I don't understand. I don't understand the whole Grand 114 00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:33.720 Canyon, so you know it is what it is. Okay, no cool. 115 00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:36.079 A lot of things going on, of course, at the end of 116 00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:40.720 the year.

But okay again, if you got to call it, 142 00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:16.240 if you'd like to call us five to two oh four one six seven 143 00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:18.960 four four zero, that's the best number. And in fact that's the only 144 00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:22.120 number. Yes, then our only line. Yeap, So you'll you'll be 145 00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:24.559 fine. Yeah, all right. Dodgers won again today. They're on a 146 00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:26.840 roll, six in a row. Yeah, thank you, Henry. You're 147 00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:31.399 not a Dodger, correct, Just you and meet kid against these Dodger guys, 148 00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:33.879 it's all they want to talk about. Six straight man, including a 149 00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:37.639 three game sweep of the Braves. Okay, so they had been playing mediocre. 150 00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:41.840 They were well, they were doing they weren't doing what you would expect 151 00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:46.159 the Dodgers to do. They were the first month of the season, they 152 00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:48.919 were, you know, twenty and thirteen. Not great, good, not 153 00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:52.120 great in our first place. Yeah, their division is I think is kind 154 00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:56.559 of weak. Uh. And then they they and then they had the Braves 155 00:09:56.600 --> 00:10:01.879 coming into Dodger Stadium and they swept them, which was a surprise to me, 156 00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:05.399 I think surprised to a lot of people. And they sent the Braves 157 00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:09.600 off, who are now behind the Phillies in the East because the Phillies are 158 00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:15.960 just gone off with with Bryce Harper and stuff. So but now they've won 159 00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:18.919 six and now they're you know, twenty six and thirteen. You know, 160 00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:22.120 they're they're they're doing pretty well. Yeah, it's seem that they're leading almost 161 00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:26.799 every offensive category as a team. Just crushing, crushing. It shows show 162 00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:31.279 he's been doing great until today. Kissed me off. They didn't even get 163 00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:33.159 a hit today, because that costs me a little bit of money. But 164 00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:37.360 what are you gonna do on eight hundred next step? Well, I'll give 165 00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:43.440 you that number.

Breaking down all the exes and ohs. 283 00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:55.200 It's Steve Rivera and Jacin Summits. This is I on the park on Fox 284 00:18:55.279 --> 00:18:59.119 Sports fourteenth fifty. Hey, welcome back, joining the ball here Fox Sports 285 00:18:59.119 --> 00:19:00.920 fourteenth fifty. I'm Steve Hugh's Jay. Now on the phone, we have 286 00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:07.559 Rich Tomy from Positive Coaching Alliance. How are you Rich doing great? Thank 287 00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:10.279 you very much. Good to hear you guys. Boys. Yes, it's 288 00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:14.519 been a while. I just recently saw some big post and I think it's 289 00:19:14.599 --> 00:19:18.160 maybe a while back you received a huge amount from was it the dbats or 290 00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:25.079 the Cardinals or somebody. Yeah, the Arizona Cardinals. We've been working with 291 00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:29.160 them over the years, and this year they stepped up and gave us a 292 00:19:29.240 --> 00:19:34.599 seventy thousand dollars grant to work on some mental health initiatives and girls like football 293 00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:40.119 initiatives in concert with them. So it's we're really excited about that for sure. 294 00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:45.200 So when we talk about the Positive Coaching Alliance, Rich, what are 295 00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:48.039 the what's the primary thing that you do. If you said, Okay, 296 00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:51.480 this is what we stand for, this is what we're trying to accomplish with 297 00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:56.519 this organization, what is that. Well, we you know, we provide 298 00:19:56.599 --> 00:20:00.720 training and resources for parents, coaches, and athletes basically to you know, 299 00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:03.720 all the all the life lessons that sports teaches us. You know, those 300 00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:08.240 are the things that we really embody and and you know, we try and 301 00:20:08.359 --> 00:20:12.640 give everyone the big picture of the importance of sports and the power a coach 302 00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:17.480 has in a young person's life. So, you know, there's a lot 303 00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:21.920 of coaches that do it the wrong way, and you know, studies show 304 00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:23.240 that, you know, if you stay in sports, you have a less 305 00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:27.640 chance of dropping out of school or doing drugs or you know, just going 306 00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:32.240 down the wrong path. So it all connects, and it's it's sort of 307 00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:37.160 a giant spiked or spoke of a wheel. You know, it's all connected. 308 00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:41.440 So we try and create a path, and you know, hopefully the 309 00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:44.680 light bulb comes on for all the amazing things that sports teaches us, and 310 00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:48.799 a good coach will extend that. And you know, we all been played 311 00:20:48.839 --> 00:20:52.319 for good coaches and bad coaches, and we know the difference. So it's 312 00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:57.400 obvious that the lessons a good coach will teach obviously are something you can carry 313 00:20:57.440 --> 00:21:00.200 on for the rest of your life. What are the I had to go 314 00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:04.039 negative here, but what are the pitfalls of a bad coach one? And 315 00:21:04.440 --> 00:21:07.359 I'm sure there are bad parents that you have to kind of deal with too. 316 00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:11.799 Oh yeah, well parents are I mean, we have a lot of 317 00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:15.519 parent training courses as well, and you know that we have what I call 318 00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:18.759 our single goal parent, which is basically, your only job is to is 319 00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:22.799 to cheer on your kid and support them. And uh, you know, 320 00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:26.319 a bad coach obviously can make a kid quit. I mean, seventy percent 321 00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:29.599 of kids will quit sports by age thirteen. And that's due to a lot 322 00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:32.680 of factors. So you know, if we can have a good coach, 323 00:21:32.759 --> 00:21:36.359 give someone the tools and want to hang in there and stick with it and 324 00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:40.759 keep playing, I mean, you have a chance to. Really we all 325 00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:44.160 grow at different times and some are late bloomers, so like I was, 326 00:21:44.319 --> 00:21:45.799 and you know, I stuck with it long enough where I had a chance 327 00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:49.519 to play in college and you know, really played for some great coaches. 328 00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:53.000 And I think, you know, the lessons we can all learn from sports. 329 00:21:53.240 --> 00:21:57.200 Uh, you know, ninety percent of Fortune five hundred CEOs played high 330 00:21:57.200 --> 00:22:00.000 school sports. So I think there's a there's a connection, and there's a 331 00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:04.880 reason why sports than business, you know, intersect a lot so rich with 332 00:22:06.079 --> 00:22:07.519 with all with the way things are changing, you know, you know, 333 00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:10.799 all the way down to the you know, high school level, loving before 334 00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:14.279 that. Because now you've got with with things that are going on with NIL 335 00:22:14.359 --> 00:22:17.039 and those kinds of things. You got parents probably who are out there, 336 00:22:17.400 --> 00:22:19.119 you know, their kids are seven years old. Instead of saying you need 337 00:22:19.200 --> 00:22:22.680 to get to the NFL, they're just saying all you need to do is 338 00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:26.240 get to college and you can make a lot of money. Do you are 339 00:22:26.279 --> 00:22:30.599 you, are you starting to see some I don't know, the differences in 340 00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:33.240 the way parents are being, the way coaches are being because of all the 341 00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:37.720 money that's suddenly gotten closer, you know, to the younger ages. Are 342 00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:41.640 you seeing anything like that? Oh yeah, I mean it's it's I mean, 343 00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:47.519 obviously with the whole club club scene, whether it's basketball or baseball or 344 00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:51.480 even football. I mean, it's the parent issue with that. And you 345 00:22:51.559 --> 00:22:55.319 know, the pressure that kids have today is so much greater than for instance, 346 00:22:55.400 --> 00:22:57.799 when we were in school or we were probably none of this was there. 347 00:22:57.920 --> 00:23:03.720 And I think kids today are dealing with the social media aspect of things 348 00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:07.519 and feeling they're like they're always having to promote themselves. I think it's it's 349 00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:11.519 a it's a challenge, and you know, one of the things we really 350 00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:15.480 focused on too is social media and how to handle your own your own brand. 351 00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:18.599 And you know, you are your brand. So like if you were 352 00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:21.039 going to go hire somebody, the first thing you do probably is go check 353 00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:23.599 out their Facebook or their LinkedIn or see what kind of person they are. 354 00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:27.720 So people can really destroy their career just by what they do online. So 355 00:23:27.799 --> 00:23:32.039 I think, you know, having said all that, I mean I mean, 356 00:23:32.119 --> 00:23:36.960 obviously the nil and the way college sports is today is just completely different. 357 00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:38.839 So it's it's a it's a moving target that we're all trying to figure 358 00:23:38.880 --> 00:23:41.799 out. Sure, how is that moving target? And what would you know, 359 00:23:42.160 --> 00:23:45.519 the question that I want to the moving target? How would your dad 360 00:23:45.599 --> 00:23:51.759 reacted to it? You know, I'm talking to a doctors the other day. 361 00:23:51.839 --> 00:23:56.759 I you know, I think he I don't know if he would really 362 00:23:56.079 --> 00:24:00.119 enjoy this, But at the same time, I think he would be of 363 00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:03.039 the mindset where this is what it is, and we got to deal with 364 00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:06.799 it and let's go make the best of it. And because he loved the 365 00:24:06.880 --> 00:24:08.880 game and he loved coaching, and I don't think this would have chased him 366 00:24:08.920 --> 00:24:12.799 off. But I think it's you see what happened to like Nick Saban, 367 00:24:12.880 --> 00:24:15.720 and it is you know, some of these old coaches, And I've I've 368 00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:19.880 actually talked to some old U of A coaches. I saw Charlie Dickey over 369 00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:22.599 the summer last summer, and he absolutely hates it, you know. I 370 00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:27.279 mean there's there's coaches that just old school coaches and having a deal with recruiting 371 00:24:27.319 --> 00:24:33.359 your same players every year to keep them on your own roster is just it's 372 00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:37.079 it's just such a weird time in sports, you know. And I don't 373 00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:41.359 envy a lot of this stuff the coaches go through today, No if for 374 00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:44.079 sure is I mean, we've talked to guys, you know, Ca Andrea, 375 00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:48.319 you know, Dave Rubio, Andy Lopez, all those guys have said, 376 00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:51.200 never in my wildest dreams that I think I was gonna have to do 377 00:24:51.319 --> 00:24:53.240 that, and I was, and I'm not gonna and I'm not. I'm 378 00:24:53.240 --> 00:25:00.640 glad, I'm great, right it is. It's insane. So but again, 379 00:25:00.720 --> 00:25:03.680 it's it's the reality. I don't know if it's going to hold up, 380 00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:06.519 and I know it's going to change a lot over the years, so 381 00:25:06.799 --> 00:25:11.119 I hope it doesn't. You know. I just worry for the smaller schools 382 00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:14.440 and how they how they're going to compete, and it's just going to be 383 00:25:14.519 --> 00:25:18.559 interesting decade. Can you imagine what you know, you were a college baseball 384 00:25:18.559 --> 00:25:21.799 player, you played in Arizona, what it would have been like to be 385 00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:23.799 on a team that's going through all that stuff. I mean, have you 386 00:25:23.880 --> 00:25:26.920 ever even put your mind to that or you just say I'm glad I'm not 387 00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:30.680 in there. How have you taken all of this as a form of contact. 388 00:25:32.680 --> 00:25:33.720 Oh, I am glad. I you know. I talked to Todd 389 00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:37.400 Brown, who's the head baseball pitch in New Mexico, and I played with 390 00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:41.319 Todd and we're good friends, and he's like, this is it's it's almost 391 00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:44.640 like you just at the end of the season, you just basically cross off 392 00:25:44.680 --> 00:25:48.400 your best player because you know they're going somewhere, and uh, you know, 393 00:25:48.519 --> 00:25:51.960 it's it's like you can't you can't compete with big, big money that 394 00:25:52.079 --> 00:25:55.920 these schools have to hold on to your best players. So it's just sort 395 00:25:55.960 --> 00:26:00.240 of you know, everybody's recruiting the portal and high school athletics is and of 396 00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:03.039 becoming a little irrelevant and a lot of sports. So it's almost it's just 397 00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:07.480 really it's tough. I feel really bad to the high school athletes these days. 398 00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:10.720 Actually, yeah, no, you make a great point, because it's 399 00:26:10.759 --> 00:26:14.200 true they're chasing after the players who have experienced rather than the ones that don't. 400 00:26:15.480 --> 00:26:21.119 Right, yep, absolutely, so, yeah, you're you're bringing me 401 00:26:21.200 --> 00:26:23.920 down, right, You're bringing me down. You asked I did I know, 402 00:26:25.039 --> 00:26:27.519 I asked the question. But you're bringing me down rich, And that's 403 00:26:27.559 --> 00:26:33.599 tough to do because he's always down, So I don't know how much Stee 404 00:26:33.640 --> 00:26:37.039 is the grumpy one in the room. So rich If people wanted to be 405 00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:41.799 involved with you guys, coach or not coach, how do they do that? 406 00:26:44.000 --> 00:26:47.440 I mean first first door would be go through Positive Coach dot org. 407 00:26:47.559 --> 00:26:49.319 It's our website. It kind of tells you all about the things we do. 408 00:26:51.640 --> 00:26:53.559 You know, from there you can sort of learn about the different programming 409 00:26:53.640 --> 00:26:56.960 and there's ways to reach us through that, and uh, you know, 410 00:26:57.039 --> 00:27:02.799 we we've got some really great partners school districts across the state. In Tucson, 411 00:27:02.920 --> 00:27:06.400 Tucson Unified is one of our best partners. So just a lot of 412 00:27:06.440 --> 00:27:11.079 great resources we offer, and we're always trying to find funding to help underwrite 413 00:27:11.079 --> 00:27:15.960 our programming for underserved communities across the state. So just a lot of great 414 00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:21.720 ways to get involved. So it gets a couple of things that you I'm 415 00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:25.160 I've got a twelve year old kid and you know, I'm coaching his little 416 00:27:25.240 --> 00:27:27.039 league team, and I don't know, I feel like I need some help. 417 00:27:27.160 --> 00:27:30.359 What kind of help can I get from you guys? What can I 418 00:27:30.759 --> 00:27:34.279 you know, whether it's attending a program or whatever. Yeah, yeah, 419 00:27:34.359 --> 00:27:38.240 we work you know, with a lot of leagues and across the state where 420 00:27:38.319 --> 00:27:42.960 we'll come in and before the season we'll do training for coaches, parents, 421 00:27:44.160 --> 00:27:47.039 whatever, whatever the league wants not. You know, one size doesn't sit 422 00:27:47.119 --> 00:27:49.319 all, so we'll we'll come in meet with the league or the coaches, 423 00:27:49.400 --> 00:27:53.720 and we've done things for one team or one league or an entire you know, 424 00:27:53.920 --> 00:28:00.319 school just really depends, and you know there's different levels of training from 425 00:28:00.440 --> 00:28:03.839 our beginning double goal coach all the way up to stuff for college. We 426 00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:07.559 just did a we did a coaches clinic at u of A recently for their 427 00:28:07.279 --> 00:28:11.119 their U of A coaches clinics, So Brent, coach Brennan had us come 428 00:28:11.160 --> 00:28:14.039 in and we did we did some stuff there. So we have a lot 429 00:28:14.079 --> 00:28:18.680 of different opportunities from the youngest level all the way up to the college level. 430 00:28:18.119 --> 00:28:22.319 So let's go there with with coach Brennan, how well do you know 431 00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:25.759 him? And I said this yesterday with with with Jay here then and we 432 00:28:25.839 --> 00:28:26.599 talked about the past, and I think, you know, I think coach 433 00:28:26.599 --> 00:28:33.480 Brennan is probably the most most like your dad in terms of coaching since your 434 00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:38.039 dad coached. Would you agree, Yeah, I would agree. I've known 435 00:28:38.119 --> 00:28:41.480 coach Brennan since you know, he was a g a at u of a 436 00:28:41.720 --> 00:28:45.759 and obviously his brother played for my dad, so I've known the family a 437 00:28:45.839 --> 00:28:51.440 long time. You know, I'm still just so elated that he's got this 438 00:28:51.559 --> 00:28:57.160 opportunity. I just saw him at Keith Bray's celebration of life they had last 439 00:28:57.200 --> 00:29:02.240 Friday, so we spent a lot of time to get and I'm so excited 440 00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:06.680 for him. And I'm just with the people he surrounded himself with too. 441 00:29:06.799 --> 00:29:10.559 It's just it's almost, you know, it's almost funny in a way, 442 00:29:10.759 --> 00:29:15.160 just how this this coaching staff looks a lot like you know, one where 443 00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:18.240 we've all been familiar with back in the day. So it's just really, 444 00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:21.880 uh, it's kind of interesting. So I'm so excited for them. We'll 445 00:29:22.079 --> 00:29:25.240 ask you that, what I mean, what do you think? What is 446 00:29:25.319 --> 00:29:30.000 it about him that you think will help him or make him be successful here? 447 00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:33.039 When you know it's hard. This is a hard job. Arizona's not 448 00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:37.079 you know, you don't walk in and start winning ten twelve games a year 449 00:29:37.519 --> 00:29:40.880 like you can at some other places. What's going to make him be a 450 00:29:40.960 --> 00:29:47.720 good coach and succeed here? He's he's just so genuine. I mean, 451 00:29:48.119 --> 00:29:49.480 you know, in a lot of ways, you know, I kind of 452 00:29:52.839 --> 00:29:55.000 my dad was the same way. I mean, it's like you get what 453 00:29:55.079 --> 00:29:56.920 you get, and when you talk to Brent, you don't feel like you're 454 00:29:57.440 --> 00:30:00.240 he's just putting on a show to make you feel happy. I mean, 455 00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:04.160 he honestly cares. And I think the players are already seeing that. I 456 00:30:04.200 --> 00:30:07.240 mean, I know there's guys that have left and guys that have stayed because 457 00:30:07.400 --> 00:30:11.440 they get to meet coach Brennan. And I just think he's a genuine person 458 00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:17.960 that's going to be, you know, not not sugarcoat anything. But at 459 00:30:17.960 --> 00:30:21.799 the same time, he's he'll be out in the community great, and they'll 460 00:30:21.839 --> 00:30:23.839 be working with the schools and and you know, you're if he's at the 461 00:30:23.880 --> 00:30:26.200 grocery show, they'll have a conversation with you. I mean, there's not 462 00:30:26.279 --> 00:30:30.920 going to be any agenda there. So I think Tusson really embodies and embraces 463 00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:34.839 that kind of person. So I'm excited for him to get an opportunity. 464 00:30:34.960 --> 00:30:38.640 And again it's it's not an easy sled by any stretch, with with the 465 00:30:38.680 --> 00:30:41.440 way the conferences are now, so he's got his work for that for him 466 00:30:41.480 --> 00:30:45.279 but I think he's got a good shot. Man. I think he's right 467 00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:48.039 man for the job, for sure. It's when you use the word genuine 468 00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:52.000 yesterday, we're trying to find the word. You kind of said, matter 469 00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:53.079 of fact, that's how he is when he's at the podium. Yeah, 470 00:30:53.079 --> 00:30:57.559 he speaking. He just kind of just says that he has a conversation with 471 00:30:57.680 --> 00:31:02.640 you. Genuine is the word, because he is just a dude who's coaching. 472 00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:07.200 Yeah, totally, I mean he is. He loves this, He 473 00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:10.519 loves the players, you can call him. I mean I've talked to him, 474 00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:12.559 you know, a bunch of times since he's gotten the job and before 475 00:31:12.640 --> 00:31:17.480 that, and he'll pick up the phone and you know, again he's he's 476 00:31:17.680 --> 00:31:19.559 He just reminds me so much of the way my dad was. And he 477 00:31:19.759 --> 00:31:23.759 just you could, you could approach him at any time. And you know, 478 00:31:23.960 --> 00:31:27.559 I think that's that's gonna that's gonna bode well for for what's going on 479 00:31:27.680 --> 00:31:30.680 there. So I know the players are going to love him, and uh, 480 00:31:32.039 --> 00:31:33.839 you know, I'm excited to see how it goes for sure. Uh. 481 00:31:34.440 --> 00:31:37.960 You we're talking to Rich to me from Positive Coaching Alliance, Rich, 482 00:31:38.079 --> 00:31:41.640 what are you liking this move? To the Big twelve. I mean, 483 00:31:41.680 --> 00:31:45.599 love just forget the pack tell blew up. So do you think Asa landed 484 00:31:45.640 --> 00:31:49.480 in the best possible place he could have? I mean, at this point, 485 00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:55.319 I guess it is absolutely. I mean it was that that three day 486 00:31:55.440 --> 00:31:59.680 stretch or whatever it was, was amazing to watch this well thinking unfold. 487 00:31:59.759 --> 00:32:02.079 It was almost like, you know, get what you can get, you 488 00:32:02.160 --> 00:32:05.440 know. So I think, I mean, they're in a great spot. 489 00:32:05.519 --> 00:32:07.720 I mean, they still are playing, you know, some pretty good school. 490 00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:14.240 That's sad to see the traditional rivalries we had and things kind of fall 491 00:32:14.319 --> 00:32:17.599 away. But I'm pretty sure this isn't going to be the only change that 492 00:32:17.680 --> 00:32:22.119 happens in college football in the next five to ten years. So I think 493 00:32:22.200 --> 00:32:28.200 it's it's just going to be an ever evolving kind of revolving door, you 494 00:32:28.279 --> 00:32:31.079 know. So I guess you take what you can get. But yeah, 495 00:32:31.160 --> 00:32:34.640 I'm excited. I think it's going to be fun. I'm a little more 496 00:32:34.640 --> 00:32:38.319 worried about the non football sports like baseball and these others are having to travel 497 00:32:39.000 --> 00:32:44.240 to play, you know, school across the country, different things. It's 498 00:32:44.319 --> 00:32:46.960 just it's going to be interesting to see how it shakes out. Having been 499 00:32:47.319 --> 00:32:51.480 a sport you know baseball player too. What do you think it's going to 500 00:32:51.839 --> 00:32:54.160 do for those you know, the swimmers and the baseball players. Everyone says 501 00:32:54.200 --> 00:32:57.680 it's going to be a lot of travel and students, you know, the 502 00:32:57.680 --> 00:33:01.319 student part of it gets lost. Yeah, yeah, you know, I 503 00:33:01.400 --> 00:33:05.559 think a lot of those type of sports, you know, they sort of 504 00:33:05.559 --> 00:33:08.319 create their schedules differently than football per se. So I think, you know, 505 00:33:08.359 --> 00:33:10.799 I know, swimming, My daughter's a swimmer. She's she's going to 506 00:33:10.839 --> 00:33:14.240 be swimming up at Utah this year, so I think, you know, 507 00:33:14.319 --> 00:33:17.640 they definitely have a different way of creating schedules. It's more of a year 508 00:33:17.680 --> 00:33:21.160 to year thing. So I think, you know, with baseball and swimming 509 00:33:21.240 --> 00:33:23.640 in some of the Olympic sports that are around still. You know, I 510 00:33:23.680 --> 00:33:28.960 don't know if it'll affect it too much, but I definitely think it's going 511 00:33:29.039 --> 00:33:30.920 to have an impact on the students, and especially if you have to fly 512 00:33:31.039 --> 00:33:35.480 across the country to the East Coast or wherever you might have it. But 513 00:33:36.079 --> 00:33:38.640 you know, I think more like with UCLA USC that conference, you know, 514 00:33:38.759 --> 00:33:42.519 having to go play Rutgers and different you know, it's just like it's 515 00:33:42.599 --> 00:33:45.960 just going to be really interesting to see how how they kind of handle things 516 00:33:45.039 --> 00:33:50.839 for sure. Well, okay, one last thing, give us your website 517 00:33:51.079 --> 00:33:54.960 for people to find you and help you or get more information. Yeah, 518 00:33:55.000 --> 00:34:00.599 it's a positivecoach dot org and you can go right there check it out, 519 00:34:00.759 --> 00:34:04.720 or you know, heck you can.

It's funny because one of the 528 00:34:37.159 --> 00:34:40.760 guys that I have lunch with on Wednesday was commenting, Now, one of 529 00:34:40.800 --> 00:34:44.519 the guys that my brother was saying this. He was just I don't he 530 00:34:44.599 --> 00:34:46.039 saw something, you know, coming out of Washington or whatever. He said. 531 00:34:46.039 --> 00:34:51.679 Basically, Jedfish has just lifted up what he was doing here and he's 532 00:34:51.679 --> 00:34:53.280 doing it over there, it's the same thing all over again. Yeah, 533 00:34:53.320 --> 00:34:57.360 you know in terms of you know, promoting and you had and all that 534 00:34:57.559 --> 00:35:00.679 stuff, you know, and it's the different beast over here over there, 535 00:35:01.320 --> 00:35:06.400 you know. And he he said in the context of I'm over being mad 536 00:35:06.440 --> 00:35:08.599 at him because because I feel like, you know, because of the way 537 00:35:08.679 --> 00:35:12.599 he left. Now not sores did he left, just the way he left, 538 00:35:12.679 --> 00:35:15.519 sure, but just kind of to understand it, you know, you 539 00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:19.000 see, you see that he's got he's got a plan and we all need 540 00:35:19.079 --> 00:35:21.559 that when you know when he came here, when he came here, yeah, 541 00:35:21.639 --> 00:35:25.199 you could tell that there was a well thought out plan for what he 542 00:35:25.360 --> 00:35:29.159 was doing.

Did you have to 611 00:40:01.519 --> 00:40:06.719 go learn how to be a coach or learn what to do what not to 612 00:40:06.840 --> 00:40:10.239 do? Teach me a little bit of patience, especially when they're eight and 613 00:40:10.320 --> 00:40:13.760 six and they're hitting. Oh yeah, hitting the T ball in your hands, 614 00:40:13.760 --> 00:40:16.599 still on the ball. Have you seen okay today? Did do you 615 00:40:16.679 --> 00:40:24.320 follow Pat Forty on Twitter? Okay? He he reposted a video of a 616 00:40:24.400 --> 00:40:27.960 T ball game. Okay, it's just one a bet in the T ball 617 00:40:28.039 --> 00:40:34.159 game and the chaos. I'll show it to you. Hit the ball. 618 00:40:34.239 --> 00:40:37.719 Yeah, Well, the kid hits the ball and then all the kids jumped 619 00:40:37.760 --> 00:40:39.920 on. But then the kid who hit the ball runs the second instead of 620 00:40:40.000 --> 00:40:44.679 the first, and then somebody comes out of the pile and throws the ball 621 00:40:44.840 --> 00:40:47.119 to the first basement and it hits him in the head and he looks like 622 00:40:47.199 --> 00:40:51.719 he got shot. He just drops to the ground. It's just the total 623 00:40:51.840 --> 00:40:53.480 chaos going on in this thing. You remember those days? You don't remember 624 00:40:53.480 --> 00:40:58.039 those? I do? Do I do? Those kids you know who didn't 625 00:40:58.280 --> 00:41:00.760 really want to play, they were out picking flowers. Yeah, we had 626 00:41:00.760 --> 00:41:02.679 a kid played in the farm back in the day. It was like, 627 00:41:02.840 --> 00:41:06.760 holy crowd. We had a kid that we could we could not let him 628 00:41:06.800 --> 00:41:15.880 play first base or third base because because he loved the chalk, So he'd 629 00:41:15.920 --> 00:41:19.840 go sit out and he'd fill up his hat with chalk. Okay, so 630 00:41:20.000 --> 00:41:22.480 this one, this one time, he's you know, he comes out of 631 00:41:22.480 --> 00:41:24.079 the dugout he had gotten it was hot, so he'd gotten a glass of 632 00:41:24.159 --> 00:41:28.119 water. He poured it over. So his hair's all wet and his face 633 00:41:28.239 --> 00:41:30.519 is all wet, and he's at third base and he's filling up his hat 634 00:41:30.599 --> 00:41:35.559 with chok and I think his name was Joseph. Joseph, put your hat 635 00:41:35.599 --> 00:41:37.760 on. And he just threw his hat on and the chalk went all over 636 00:41:37.800 --> 00:41:43.119 his face. All you could see was his his eyes and his mouth and 637 00:41:43.280 --> 00:41:45.039 the rest of him was white. He looked like it goes. That's the 638 00:41:45.199 --> 00:41:50.639 stuff that you know, that that you're talking about. You deal with you 639 00:41:51.239 --> 00:41:52.519 and you just deal with it. You just do and you do little things 640 00:41:52.639 --> 00:41:55.159 like that like we, like I said, after that, we didn't let 641 00:41:55.199 --> 00:41:59.760 him play third base or first base anymore because he just loved playing with the 642 00:42:00.400 --> 00:42:01.320 ye. It's funny, you know, he was. He was five years 643 00:42:01.320 --> 00:42:05.440 old. It's funny now, it wasn't it, Especially when I try to 644 00:42:05.480 --> 00:42:07.800 put the ball on and in my hand and the one thing I would have 645 00:42:08.000 --> 00:42:12.760 cussed like crazy. But you know, they were four years old with their 646 00:42:12.800 --> 00:42:15.920 parents watching. I can't start or you know, they you know, they 647 00:42:15.960 --> 00:42:17.840 swing and just let go of the in this in in that in that video, 648 00:42:19.360 --> 00:42:22.199 the kids swings the bat and it's he lets it go as it comes 649 00:42:22.199 --> 00:42:23.599 around and it hits the coach right in the shin. So, I mean, 650 00:42:23.639 --> 00:42:27.079 there's all this stuff going on in this video. It'sy. Sure you've 651 00:42:27.079 --> 00:42:30.280 seen videos where the kids have their own walk up song. Oh yeah, 652 00:42:30.039 --> 00:42:34.639 they don't know what the hell they're doing. Listen to his TV, you 653 00:42:34.719 --> 00:42:37.960 know, or whatever. All that stuff. It's it's it's awesome stuff. 654 00:42:37.280 --> 00:42:40.599 Yeah, but I mean I loved coaching. I had a great time. 655 00:42:40.679 --> 00:42:44.199 And you know, I coached my son all. I mean, I literally 656 00:42:44.239 --> 00:42:45.480 I coached him all the way up through high school, which was fun. 657 00:42:45.519 --> 00:42:49.039 I mean, all of a sudden, I'm a high school baseball coach and 658 00:42:49.159 --> 00:42:52.519 not one person had ever I'd never gone to a clinic. I'd never gone 659 00:42:52.559 --> 00:42:55.760 anything else but the game. Well yeah, but still you got to deal 660 00:42:55.840 --> 00:43:00.480 with stuff. I was a high school girl softball coach. Now that's something 661 00:43:00.519 --> 00:43:04.840 that you should have a clinic, you should be required to go to. 662 00:43:05.320 --> 00:43:07.760 We talked. It's one of the questions we ask and now in a sexist 663 00:43:07.800 --> 00:43:10.480 way, is this how different they are to coach? Exactly, very different, 664 00:43:10.719 --> 00:43:15.519 just different personalities and all that stuff. Okay again by nine minutes, 665 00:43:15.519 --> 00:43:17.559 if anybody wants to call, please, do you got to shoot case? 666 00:43:17.639 --> 00:43:21.440 Athletes? You played? I did? I did? I played baseball, 667 00:43:21.559 --> 00:43:27.880 basketball to your senior to your high school senior year. I played. Okay, 668 00:43:28.239 --> 00:43:32.000 hockey, that's different. That's just different. Fights. Did you get 669 00:43:32.000 --> 00:43:37.199 any fights? That's that's like being kind of pregnant. What do you mean 670 00:43:37.480 --> 00:43:43.719 really? Either you did? You did? Maybe a little scuffle. Okay, 671 00:43:43.800 --> 00:43:49.239 yeah, okay, that makes sense. You were the intimidator. That's 672 00:43:49.280 --> 00:43:51.800 cool. I mean that would have been fun. Scuffle and air and now 673 00:43:51.800 --> 00:43:55.679 and again drop the gloves, man, No, keep everything on, keep 674 00:43:55.760 --> 00:43:59.840 everything on. Oa. Okay, No, that was good talk to Rich. 675 00:44:00.079 --> 00:44:02.840 Yeah, but I thought he is a great program, and I thought 676 00:44:02.880 --> 00:44:07.239 his analysis of the football situations, you know, and you really got to 677 00:44:07.239 --> 00:44:10.079 put it together for that organization to further to even be an organization. Yeah, 678 00:44:10.239 --> 00:44:14.960 that does that, right, because I mean you kind of take it 679 00:44:15.039 --> 00:44:17.639 for granted. How hard can this be? It's not. It's not easy. 680 00:44:19.119 --> 00:44:22.199 And the older the kids get, you know, the the the more 681 00:44:23.280 --> 00:44:29.000 let's say, engage the parents kind of seem to get and you have to 682 00:44:29.079 --> 00:44:30.599 deal with a lot more stuff, you know, with that you know, 683 00:44:30.719 --> 00:44:32.679 and I mean I you know, I started dealing with that stuff, you 684 00:44:32.760 --> 00:44:36.920 know, pretty young, but you know, on up through high school and 685 00:44:37.519 --> 00:44:42.440 you just do and it's it's not easy. It's still if you love the 686 00:44:42.519 --> 00:44:45.920 game and if you love you know, doing that kind of stuff for the 687 00:44:45.000 --> 00:44:47.960 kids, then you're okay with it and you deal with it. But sometimes 688 00:44:49.039 --> 00:44:51.239 it's not. It's just not very easy at all. Right. No, 689 00:44:51.440 --> 00:44:52.440 of course, look again, if we're gonna do it, you have to 690 00:44:52.480 --> 00:44:58.000 have patients and have good assistant coaches. Yeah, yeah, because they help 691 00:44:58.039 --> 00:45:00.360 you like crazy. Yeah yeah, yeah, you do, you do. 692 00:45:00.880 --> 00:45:04.719 Because I really felt like my job as a coach, I wasn't you know, 693 00:45:04.880 --> 00:45:07.840 I couldn't teach you how to anything about your swing, Yeah I can't. 694 00:45:08.119 --> 00:45:12.159 I managed the team, you know, just made sure that we had 695 00:45:12.280 --> 00:45:16.199 enough baseballs and equipment and we the buses were ready for us, you know, 696 00:45:16.280 --> 00:45:20.119 But I had I had a couple of guys that knew baseball who could 697 00:45:20.119 --> 00:45:22.159 coach baseball, right right. No, I enjoyed it. The one thing 698 00:45:22.199 --> 00:45:27.239 I did coach basketball for one year and my youngest Trey, who played, 699 00:45:27.599 --> 00:45:30.440 and we played against a team whose dad who whose other team was a dad 700 00:45:30.639 --> 00:45:34.360 and his son was obviously the best player. And one of the reasons why 701 00:45:34.400 --> 00:45:36.679 he was coaching. His son was a player, and anytime you got the 702 00:45:36.719 --> 00:45:38.719 ball, he shot. So I told my son, Tray, whatever he 703 00:45:38.880 --> 00:45:42.639 does, you follow him. I don't care if you're on top of him, 704 00:45:42.840 --> 00:45:45.519 you're gonna be on you're gonna I'm gonna let him. I don't want 705 00:45:45.519 --> 00:45:49.159 that guy to be like the show off of the team. So go if 706 00:45:49.199 --> 00:45:52.360 he goes to the restroom, if you follow him, follow him because I 707 00:45:52.360 --> 00:45:53.239 don't want him to score. And he did. You know, Dad, 708 00:45:53.280 --> 00:45:57.039 why do you do? Is just just do what I say? Just go 709 00:45:57.239 --> 00:45:59.519 kind of, you know, tell him because the other dad was one of 710 00:45:59.599 --> 00:46:00.920 his sons to score all the points. Right, that's not what this is 711 00:46:00.960 --> 00:46:04.840 about, right, and probably not to my end too, But you don't 712 00:46:05.039 --> 00:46:08.559 prevent him from being that guy, right. So that's what I rememberable and 713 00:46:08.679 --> 00:46:13.360 my my my kind of memory of that is that all of a sudden, 714 00:46:13.559 --> 00:46:16.280 I show up and we're gonna play push Ridge in a baseball game, and 715 00:46:16.400 --> 00:46:20.840 I look across the way and the head coach is Doug Jones, who's major 716 00:46:20.960 --> 00:46:22.679 league player. Uh yeah, he was their coach at the time. I'm 717 00:46:22.719 --> 00:46:27.800 like, oh no, right, oh no, they don't know such special 718 00:46:27.840 --> 00:46:29.960 secrets. But no, you know what, at that level, it's kind 719 00:46:30.000 --> 00:46:31.880 of like either you have good players or you don't, right, And I 720 00:46:31.960 --> 00:46:36.000 knew his players would be coached and you you know they're gonna throw the right 721 00:46:36.039 --> 00:46:37.159 bases and stuff like that, But beyond there, it's kind of okay, 722 00:46:37.280 --> 00:46:40.360 right whatever, he was as good as your talent exactly pretty much, and 723 00:46:40.400 --> 00:46:45.800 they were more talented than me. Right. Well, the other day, 724 00:46:45.920 --> 00:46:49.920 I mean you have players, you have players. Yeah, Okay, again, 725 00:46:50.039 --> 00:46:52.320 we have maybe chances for a call or two five minutes left to five 726 00:46:52.360 --> 00:46:54.920 to two, oho, four one, six, seventy four, forty uh 727 00:46:55.000 --> 00:47:00.000 anything going on tonight, well that's not breaking news. Baseball and Pacers like 728 00:47:00.079 --> 00:47:06.480 next game two, that should be fun. Nick's Knicks won the first one 729 00:47:06.719 --> 00:47:10.440 they did, squeaked it out. Okay, yeah, Game TWESDA tonight, 730 00:47:13.920 --> 00:47:16.840 five o'clock. Henry said Knicks are favored by four and a half. That's 731 00:47:16.880 --> 00:47:20.760 in New York. In New York next by four and a half. Oh 732 00:47:21.239 --> 00:47:24.320 oh, prediction, you got a prediction? I think that Indiana has to 733 00:47:24.400 --> 00:47:27.920 have to win it. Well, not really, I don't have to win 734 00:47:28.000 --> 00:47:29.800 it, but I think they will. I think they will. I think 735 00:47:29.800 --> 00:47:32.199 it's a bigger deal if the Knicks lose, you know, I mean, 736 00:47:32.199 --> 00:47:37.239 because you're supposed to win at home. So uh, it's kind of like, 737 00:47:37.159 --> 00:47:38.719 you know, if the Knicks lose, then people are saying, oh, 738 00:47:38.760 --> 00:47:43.119 the Knicks are in trouble. But if the Knicks win, I mean, 739 00:47:43.119 --> 00:47:45.039 you can't really say that Indiana's in trouble because they're not supposed to win 740 00:47:45.440 --> 00:47:49.920 on the road. And did you write that stuff down when he just said 741 00:47:50.000 --> 00:47:53.480 if he could just listen and learn from his own his own philosophy. I 742 00:47:53.679 --> 00:47:59.000 just that's that's how seven game series are, you know, you go when 743 00:47:59.039 --> 00:48:00.599 you go too and two it's like, Okay, we're supposed to win at 744 00:48:00.639 --> 00:48:06.480 home. Take let's take care of him to well, just not in anything. 745 00:48:06.599 --> 00:48:10.280 Just and Mitchell Robinson their starting center. He's out six day weeks. 746 00:48:12.039 --> 00:48:15.280 He's out for the series for the Mitchell Robinson Okay, defensive anchor. Yea, 747 00:48:15.719 --> 00:48:21.760 So my favorite ending we'll see Okay, Well, t J McConnell, 748 00:48:21.880 --> 00:48:28.119 the secret weapon nobody knows about. Well again, guys like fantastically just normal 749 00:48:28.199 --> 00:48:30.280 good. Yeah, yeah, there's one who needs to go like him, 750 00:48:30.840 --> 00:48:37.599 whoever it is. I did see somebody posted that maybe some good news comment 751 00:48:37.239 --> 00:48:42.840 like Luke is it? Luke did that? They never mind, it doesn't 752 00:48:42.880 --> 00:48:45.320 mean anything. I didn't see who. I just saw that. I just 753 00:48:45.360 --> 00:48:49.320 saw that. It was like Luke, Okay, it's it's because the guys 754 00:48:49.400 --> 00:48:53.199 are not being invited to camps. You'd expect something to happen sometime soon. 755 00:48:53.880 --> 00:48:57.960 I can see Caleb still leaving though. Yeah, me too, me too. 756 00:48:58.639 --> 00:49:00.239 It's neither to me. It's neither here nor there. And last night 757 00:49:00.280 --> 00:49:02.320 I was with some people that says, you mean to tell me you don't 758 00:49:02.320 --> 00:49:07.320 want to pack ten reigning player of the Earths. Okay, he still has 759 00:49:07.360 --> 00:49:09.920 his issues. He's got to score, he's got to make things happen, 760 00:49:10.079 --> 00:49:13.440 and he's got to play well in the stretch. Yes, I mean, 761 00:49:13.880 --> 00:49:15.920 same same things you've seen. Yeah, I'm sure he didn't wake up one 762 00:49:15.960 --> 00:49:17.880 day and say I'm gonna do better. I mean, you know, I 763 00:49:17.960 --> 00:49:22.320 was saying he is what he is. Yeah, I agree with with the 764 00:49:22.360 --> 00:49:25.800 people. With the new people coming in, how's that gonna work? Yeah? 765 00:49:25.920 --> 00:49:30.559 No, I get it, you know, And I mean I don't 766 00:49:30.559 --> 00:49:32.800 know did this last guy, that Tommy guy, is that his replacement or 767 00:49:34.480 --> 00:49:37.599 if if love leads, does he go get one more guy? Yeah? 768 00:49:37.880 --> 00:49:40.239 What happens there? Right? Well, like we said yesterday, they said 769 00:49:40.440 --> 00:49:45.440 no movement until I hear from these guys and the and then he got a 770 00:49:45.480 --> 00:49:46.880 guy. Right. You know, I'm not going to date anybody until well, 771 00:49:47.079 --> 00:49:53.000 hey, you to dinner, let's go out. It is not the 772 00:49:53.079 --> 00:49:58.159 right analogy. Is that that's a perfect analogy. Okay, there she is. 773 00:49:58.840 --> 00:50:01.360 I'll go out with her guys out of town. You have a chance 774 00:50:02.119 --> 00:50:07.320 my girls outtown since yeah, no, I so we'll see, Yeah, 775 00:50:07.360 --> 00:50:10.880 we'll see. You know, I sit here and I think about the fact 776 00:50:10.920 --> 00:50:15.559 that we're still talking about football. We're still talking about basketball still. You 777 00:50:15.599 --> 00:50:17.039 know, it's kind of like it never ends. Well, it never ends, 778 00:50:17.119 --> 00:50:21.400 and we'll talk about this before we go for summer off. But to 779 00:50:21.519 --> 00:50:25.639 this point, how would you rate the school year? School year? Athletically? 780 00:50:27.079 --> 00:50:30.800 It's been pretty good because the tone was set by football, right And 781 00:50:30.880 --> 00:50:35.280 I know in the end people feel like it ended bad because because Jed Fish 782 00:50:35.360 --> 00:50:38.280 left and all that, all that went with that. But we still feel 783 00:50:38.320 --> 00:50:42.800 pretty good about Bran Brandon. But you don't know, is you know, 784 00:50:42.920 --> 00:50:46.679 on a scale of ten seven and a half, maybe inching towards an eight. 785 00:50:46.800 --> 00:50:50.800 Yeah, yeah, because the women's basketball team kind of was rocky rock 786 00:50:51.079 --> 00:50:53.079 and then it got kind of good. You know, basketball had a great 787 00:50:53.199 --> 00:50:58.400 regular season. It fell a little bit short. So that that's why maybe 788 00:50:58.440 --> 00:51:00.679 that's why you don't give him an eight. You know, baseball is going 789 00:51:00.760 --> 00:51:05.960 well, softball is pretty good, but it's not yeah, classic Arizona softball. 790 00:51:06.599 --> 00:51:08.760 I'm gonna I don't know, I'm gonna say like seven and seven eights. 791 00:51:08.880 --> 00:51:12.199 Okay, No, No, that's that's pretty much an eight. I 792 00:51:12.280 --> 00:51:15.239 mean, I agree with you. It was a fun year. The only 793 00:51:15.320 --> 00:51:19.840 thing that wasn't fun, And mister Dave he keeping that go and the president 794 00:51:19.920 --> 00:51:22.960 and the whole financial thing and the big twin Big twelve, and that's that 795 00:51:23.079 --> 00:51:28.719 doesn't really nothing, because I think it's gonna be a bresting in disguise in 796 00:51:28.840 --> 00:51:32.480 terms of for Arizona athletics. Well not well, because the future looks very 797 00:51:32.519 --> 00:51:36.800 good, I know, but in the end, I mean I'm still sitting 798 00:51:36.800 --> 00:51:38.800 here today in the end wishing that the PAC twelve what didn't go away. 799 00:51:39.360 --> 00:51:43.960 I'd still rather be in the PAC twelve. True, true, But that's 800 00:51:44.000 --> 00:51:49.719 a you problem, you said, But I still feel like I still feel 801 00:51:49.719 --> 00:51:52.000 like it was bad for college athletics that the PAC twelve is not around anymore. 802 00:51:52.039 --> 00:51:54.199 Yeah, yeah, no, I don't disagree with that. But for 803 00:51:54.320 --> 00:51:59.840 Arizona's case or situation, I mean, yeah, there is Arizona in a 804 00:52:00.159 --> 00:52:02.880 basketball conference. Yes, are they in a football conference? They have a 805 00:52:02.920 --> 00:52:07.360 better chance to give the league to compete at the at the highest level. 806 00:52:07.760 --> 00:52:13.039 Yes, I agree with those things, but I already missed the PAC twelve. 807 00:52:13.039 --> 00:52:15.159 You already missed the ex girlfriend. Get I miss Yeah, you know, 808 00:52:15.239 --> 00:52:19.880 I miss not sitting here planning for an l A trip next season or 809 00:52:20.000 --> 00:52:23.039 whatever all that stuff. Let's go. We have Adam on the hook, 810 00:52:23.119 --> 00:52:27.119 all right, breaking news, Okay, take any of them him, anything 811 00:52:27.159 --> 00:52:29.800 from him. All right, get ready to get ready to go. We'll 812 00:52:29.800 --> 00:52:30.239 be right back.
