Hey, welcome back to I on the Ball 4 00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:17.719 here Fox Sports fourteen fifty. I'm Steve, he's Jay. Now we have 5 00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:22.640 analyst with breaking news. Oh, this is I on the Ball Breaking news 6 00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:26.199 on Fox Sports fourteen fifty. All right, so we got a lot of 7 00:00:26.239 --> 00:00:33.399 stuff happening today with Arizona men's basketball. The NBA released their early draft, 8 00:00:33.479 --> 00:00:38.600 their NBA Draft early entrance, and Jaden Bradley was on the list. Caleb 9 00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:43.280 Love was not, which was Coir, which is interesting because he made him 10 00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:48.359 send a message saying he was going to maintain his eligibility, but check out 11 00:00:48.359 --> 00:00:52.759 the draft and he was not on the list of the early entrance. So 12 00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:57.759 it turns out there was some big mix up and he didn't officially declare, 13 00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:03.640 but apparently his agent said that he was is definitely declaring, still maintaining his 14 00:01:03.679 --> 00:01:07.000 eligibility, but he wasn't on the list. I think we should appreciately call 15 00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:11.799 this the Dal and Terry early entry. Trying to see where you feet are 16 00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:17.680 with because I'm not sure at this time two years and two years ago he 17 00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:19.799 jumps in with think, no, he'll be back, he's not ready, 18 00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:23.040 and then again and then he went out and he shined. But at least 19 00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:26.840 Dylan Terry he started for Arizona. Jaden Bradley didn't even start. I mean, 20 00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:30.799 he clearly proved to be a good player. But I don't think who's 21 00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:42.319 being ready Jayden Bradley or yeah, right, the three of those guys, 22 00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:46.760 but it probably goes kJ Lewis, Caleb Love and then Jada Brown. There 23 00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:51.079 all these guys. You know, it's it's it's information gathering, right, 24 00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:53.799 it's you know, you got you go through the experience so that you know 25 00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:57.200 what to expect the next time you get you actually get information. People tell 26 00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:00.239 you that, you know, this is what you need to do with your 27 00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:04.200 game to get you know, there's nothing, absolutely zero wrong with these guys 28 00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:07.000 doing this right as long as they can, you know, keep their school 29 00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:08.360 work together so that if they you know, they stay eligible and they can 30 00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:12.319 come back. Well, that's the funny thing about it. Caleb has been 31 00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:15.759 in Chicago's working out all this time. He hasn't been here. He hasn't 32 00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:17.520 been here, but I guess we all these guys classes are online and stuff. 33 00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:23.240 You know, the equals a degree, buddy, the equals degree, 34 00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:30.759 just like I saw him in class. No, I don't blame these guys 35 00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:34.960 for doing that at all, not even a little bit. Even Jade Bradley, 36 00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:37.599 who Jayde Bradley is not going to the NBA, but he does want 37 00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:40.520 to go find out right, all right? And then again, you know, 38 00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:44.360 you never know, You just never know what somebody sees you like, 39 00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:47.400 I think of three of those guys, well, let's go for let's throw 40 00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:53.280 the fourth one just in your list, your little list, Okay, give 41 00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:57.520 me your list is above Jayde and Bradley. Well, what I was going 42 00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:00.520 to say is that of those three, of the three, who are you 43 00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:04.719 know? Pel is gone, he's not coming back. Keishah Johnson's gone, 44 00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:07.919 he's not coming back. Of the three that can come back, I think 45 00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:12.639 kJ Lewis is the one that has the best chance of not coming back. 46 00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:16.800 Of those three, I think he's the one that can go there because of 47 00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:25.159 his just his his physical attributes, his physical attributes. Somebody could see something 48 00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:30.360 in that. Caleb Love, It's all can you shoot or not right, 49 00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:32.759 and so it was looking like no, well, it was looking like yes 50 00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:38.759 for a while, then it became no. Yeah, So I don't I 51 00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:43.159 don't disagree with that because kJ, he's got the most NBA upside, whether 52 00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:46.360 it's this year, next year, the NBA body, the NBA you know, 53 00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:50.560 I mean, is he is he a great shooter and all that stuff. 54 00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:53.000 No, but you know what NBA guys think. They can make you 55 00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:55.919 into anything they want to make you into. What they can't teach is how 56 00:03:55.960 --> 00:04:00.400 tall you are, how long your arms are, right, and then if 57 00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:03.280 you're hustling and doing all the things that come with being a good basketball player, 58 00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:06.680 then they'll take a chance on you. So well, if those two 59 00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:11.560 dudes that could use the extra year, it's both kJ and Bradley sure and 60 00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:15.080 love if he's if he's a player, they'll play him. If he's not, 61 00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:17.800 he's not right because this time I don't see him being able to grow 62 00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:20.680 very much in one more year in college, right, and you're gonna go 63 00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:25.120 through those streaks to the ones that he had were very obvious. Yeah, 64 00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:28.399 he would just have to come back and have a better year. I mean, 65 00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:30.680 he's as good as he's gonna about as good as he's gonna get. 66 00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:33.000 He's really good. It's just he had a terrible you know, last six 67 00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:36.480 games of the year. If he had had if he had gone off and 68 00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:41.040 you know, and and played well and scored and the Arizona had gone into 69 00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:45.079 the Elite eight or whatever, he'd be a draft pick. But people saw 70 00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:48.759 how his game went south in the last you know, the last few couple 71 00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:50.800 of weeks of the Season's kind of like, Okay, he's out of the 72 00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:57.279 picture. Yeah, yeah, And it will be interesting to see what Paula 73 00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:00.199 does if they see something in him. I don't see him being an NBA 74 00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:03.360 player. He's he's good, but he's gonna make a ton of money. 75 00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:08.199 So well, hell is a diamond dozen Yeah, yeah, right, there's 76 00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:12.199 a lot of guys like Pala Larson. He doesn't do anything that stands out. 77 00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:14.439 You got to stand out to be in the NBA. If he was 78 00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:16.639 a pure shooter, he'd be fantastic. Yeah, tall guy, but he's 79 00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:23.399 not right. What are what if these guys do really well and you're thinking 80 00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:28.399 Tommy had all these dudes and then they got yeah, sweet sixteen is not 81 00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:33.199 good enough that now, Well, it'll be interesting to see what happens with 82 00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:39.120 all that. Yeah, speaking of Arizona basketball, to transfer. The two 83 00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:44.399 transfers that were in the that committed Arizona but is now official today trade Townsend 84 00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:47.199 of University of Oakland. He has one more year left of eligibility, so 85 00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:51.240 that will be spent to Arizona. He started all four years, average fourteen 86 00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:57.279 point one points per game. He is in the record books at University of 87 00:05:57.319 --> 00:06:00.319 Oakland and he was the twenty twenty four Horizon League of the Year, So 88 00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:03.959 it seems like he really made his mark there and it will be interesting to 89 00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:08.480 see how he fits into the mix. Two good gets, two good gets. 90 00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:11.720 Two years ago they had give me the names that kind of like the 91 00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:15.560 party Raimi and uh yeah Henderson only better. Only two dudes o better, 92 00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:18.000 right, sense? Well, those two guys regards, these you guys are 93 00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:21.959 physical, two guys that come in and just you feel like can make an 94 00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:25.639 immediate impact. Yeah. These two guys, look, you know, extremely 95 00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:29.120 physical guys that you know, the types of guys that Arizona is gonna, 96 00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:32.120 you know, really wants to. Yeah. And Toby o'waka. He comes 97 00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:35.439 from the University of Tennessee. He played for two seasons there, So we 98 00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:40.680 have two more years of eligibility, played in sixty nine games, average averaging 99 00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:45.199 four point two points in those sixty nine games, and they're both officially signed. 100 00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:47.720 Right, So part of the part of the killer love story that you 101 00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:51.319 you had, nor Lander did the story. He said that Tommy's not gonna 102 00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:56.759 chase anybody until love makes his decisions. Then they'll find a replacement. Yeah, 103 00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:00.519 so that will be interesting. But I think it's good they're getting someone, 104 00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:06.560 this guy from Tennessee coming from the sec A more physical conference Arizona. 105 00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:13.720 He used that part going into the time. Yeah, because I see Henry 106 00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:16.720 Visa getting kicked around a little bit. Oh yeah, right, I like 107 00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:21.040 him. I like him. What happens, he's he's you know, if 108 00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:25.959 you if you characterize physical versus finesse, he's a finesse. That's why you 109 00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:31.439 have Creasa or creos. You see Crisas. They're saying he could go to 110 00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:35.639 five different places maybe, Yeah, where did I see he's somewhere? No, 111 00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:41.199 No, he's not yet. Yeah, so we'll see he's been down. 112 00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:46.120 I'm sure you've seen him. I saw him like all week general beds. 113 00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:48.959 I was like, I was, I'm like, is that KIRKSA, 114 00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:55.360 Right, he's been here. Yeah.

Yeah, General Bens is the place. Yeah. 117 00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:05.920 I was really. I was like huh. I thought I was like hallucinating 118 00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:09.879 at THEIRS and I was like, nope, that's okay, all right, 119 00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:11.120 here we go. He didn't buy any beers, right, I'm sure he's 120 00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:16.639 got bunny. I'm sure I don't know any mo. Yeah. Yeah, 121 00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:22.319 he was like something with n I l here. Yeah, yeah, it's 122 00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:26.439 some money illegally Anyways, the new a D does we read France. While 123 00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:31.720 her son Jackson's Prince Will committed to Arizona basketball. He played for two years 124 00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:37.480 at Missoo, where she was previously the athletic director, not much playing time. 125 00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:43.360 Seems like he preferred, you know, hey, come here and you 126 00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:46.759 contribute, you know, I mean, walk ons have a purpose one. 127 00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:48.480 You know, they got to be good enough to be able to compete and 128 00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:52.600 practice stuff like that too. And the main thing is they helped the g 129 00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:58.600 p A is not what I thought. There was a while back that it 130 00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:05.240 was Remember it was a Sean who who who brought a shooter from Phoenix. 131 00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:09.600 What was the name Hispanic kid? Okay, and he brought his friend with 132 00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:13.080 him, and his friend was flunking out and he walked on and his friend 133 00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:16.240 was flunking out of school. It's like, no, no, that's not 134 00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:20.759 that's not you're you're here to get good grades and bring our GPR get the 135 00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:24.960 hell out of here. And he got kicked off almost immediately because he was 136 00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:26.799 a He was a he was a bad student, and it's like, no, 137 00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:31.039 if you walk on, one of the things you gotta do is you 138 00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:33.440 got to have good grades and help our gp A. Yes, when I 139 00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:35.960 have Andy Brown on, he's always I was the gp A guy. Yeah, 140 00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:39.720 there are gp A guys well. I also thought it was interesting his 141 00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:46.200 Twitter bio is I bring energy. Okay, he brings energy. I wanted 142 00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:50.240 to talk about the Lakers quickly because I know we were mentioning it early. 143 00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:58.000 You kind of hinted at this earlier, Steve that Lebron said in the press 144 00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:03.480 conference after their lost to the Nuggets last night that retirement something along the lines 145 00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:07.200 of this, that retirement is coming and how much more can I really give 146 00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:11.120 here? What is I think he kind of said to me, like what's 147 00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:16.480 the point anymore if I can't give it. Yeah. Well, one of 148 00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:20.159 my points was, I guess somebody asked him, are you comfortable moving forward 149 00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:24.039 with the roster you have? He says no, because this team didn't do 150 00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:28.039 it, and I don't want to be in this position again. I want 151 00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:30.039 to win. So you got to get better, dudes. Well, Magic 152 00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:33.399 Johnson said, I think on TV or in a tweet or something, that 153 00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:37.600 the Lakers have to improve their roster to compete with these younger, more athletic, 154 00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:43.720 more talented teams in the West. Well, you know, like Jay, 155 00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:48.600 you got Phoenix Sons with the same situation, the Lakers with the same 156 00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:52.679 situation, all these aging teams with younger guys like kJ you know the guys, 157 00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:56.120 it's a it's a young man's game. You look at the Clippers, 158 00:10:56.320 --> 00:11:01.840 right, I mean again, you know you got you got Kawhi, Leonard, 159 00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:05.639 you got Westbrook over there, you got the other guy who's course George. 160 00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:09.600 Yeah. I mean it's like, and who are they losing to? 161 00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:13.960 They're losing to you know, the Denver's and the Celtics and and all those 162 00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:18.120 teams. So it's yeah, yeah, And then I also saw something that 163 00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:22.279 the Laker said they will consider Bronnie James, you know, to fulfill the 164 00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:26.399 Bron's stream of playing with his son. What do you guys think of? 165 00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:28.799 Here's what I want. Here's what I want to because I'm I'm not kind 166 00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:33.960 of a jerk. I want wait, wait, write that down he said 167 00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:39.240 it. I want that clip. I want Brownie James to declare, okay, 168 00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:43.120 and then I want somebody else to draft it. But that is so 169 00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:46.240 unfair. You should not be drafted. I thought he was going to. 170 00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:48.480 I thought he already committed to du Kane. But he could could be wrong. 171 00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:50.759 Well, he's got to do what you like, to declare them. 172 00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:54.639 Isn't the deadline to declare past or No? He can he can declare. 173 00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:58.000 I think he did. I'll check to declare for the NBA. No, 174 00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:01.639 no, no, to go and go into the draft. No, he 175 00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:05.919 can go to the Kane. I'm saying, to declare for them to be 176 00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:09.759 in the next NBA draft. I think that deadline. Okay, So yeah 177 00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:13.200 he can't. So he's not going to the NBA this year. Well, 178 00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:18.039 I think they were talking maybe next year, you know, maybe if it 179 00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:24.559 proves. I truly believe that. If I'm drafting like one spot ahead of 180 00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:28.639 the Lakers. I would take him just too. And then then when I 181 00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:31.159 do this, Okay, you want to play with your kid, come over 182 00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:39.080 here. He hasn't committed. He hasn't committed to he's don't you think that's 183 00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:43.759 a strategy. Though, that's a strategy. But I don't think you know 184 00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:48.320 you're then you're messing with Lebron at that point, and hey, Lebron, 185 00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:50.240 come on over. I don't know, Yeah, come on over. We're 186 00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:52.519 gonna give you the league. I think. I don't know. I don't 187 00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:54.559 like this whole thing that he's like. I just want to play with my 188 00:12:54.679 --> 00:13:00.320 son. Like you know, it's sports. It's not about family, friend. 189 00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:05.360 Yeah, it's not about you want you personally want to fulfill your emotional 190 00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:11.080 See that's why I don't worry about it. This is something completely different. 191 00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:13.759 So I don't know. I do know that I want to talk to you 192 00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:16.879 the rest of the day. Had to throw that in there. Okay, 193 00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:18.440 Okay, what time is it? Who we've got to get out of We 194 00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:22.759 gotta get out here pretty soon.

Uh, no timetable for his return, but 197 00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:35.639 it's not going to be season ending. But nonetheless he's going to miss some 198 00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:37.840 time again another year. I mean he was injured, was it. I 199 00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:41.000 think it was a shoulder last year or I think had some sort of an 200 00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:43.679 arm injury that he was out A wrist injury. All right, wait to 201 00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:48.679 go, Ryan, thank you. Uh, wrist injury just from a swing, 202 00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:50.960 right, remember that when he took a swing and just hurt his wrists. 203 00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:54.440 So he's going to miss some more time. And you know, you 204 00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:56.600 just got to talk about it.

He just stuck with this 207 00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:09.480 team that doesn't you know, doesn't win enough, and then injury after injury 208 00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:13.960 now and he's a it's a drag. And hey, Bill Counts, he's 209 00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:16.960 a good guy. I mean, yeah, you hate to see like that. 210 00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:18.559 It does. Yeah, it does suck to that.

It's 335 00:22:55.160 --> 00:22:57.160 just if they don't if it doesn't work, how do you make that exit 336 00:22:57.720 --> 00:23:02.480 because the player, the coach doesn't want to go no, and the administrator 337 00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:04.880 needs him to go right right, but more than anything, see, they 338 00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:11.759 got him cheap. Uh yeah, and a guy who because Kelly didn't Kelly 339 00:23:11.759 --> 00:23:15.880 didn't there, Yeah, he didn't want to. Well I'm guessing no if 340 00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:18.400 Kelly left on his own, so he's not getting he's not getting any kind 341 00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:21.559 of a payout. So sure, because Kelly's probably making more money than him, 342 00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:23.200 but not really because you know, he gave, he gave it up 343 00:23:23.240 --> 00:23:26.200 to go to. Kelly made plenty of money anyway, so he doesn't need 344 00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:33.839 to be you know, collecting from But anyways, all right, so I 345 00:23:33.880 --> 00:23:36.680 haven't looked at the story, but apparently a story has come out in the 346 00:23:36.720 --> 00:23:40.640 Athletic that they went out and interviewed all the players who got run from the 347 00:23:40.680 --> 00:23:44.759 Colorado football program last year. Have you seen the story? But i'd it 348 00:23:44.839 --> 00:23:48.240 sounds bad. I mean, of course these guys are all none of them 349 00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:51.960 is going to say a nice thing about lebron Is the year he got there. 350 00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:56.000 Yes, yeah, so after the people the players that were kind of 351 00:23:56.079 --> 00:23:59.640 run out of the program during his first well you know when he got there 352 00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:03.000 and they're all they're all coming out of the woodwork. We'll talk about it. 353 00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:07.240 Just said what a big giant piece of stuff he was to them. 354 00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:11.400 I mean just talking about how guys not so much that they were asked to 355 00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:14.759 leave, but how were they how they were kind of treated to be made 356 00:24:14.759 --> 00:24:18.079 to leave, like like like a guy who was he didn't know he was 357 00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:19.839 supposed to be off the team, and like he got a taken off the 358 00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:25.480 position group chat and that's how we found out that they didn't want him on 359 00:24:25.519 --> 00:24:27.119 the team anymore. Well, that's that's a be a sense a bunch of 360 00:24:27.119 --> 00:24:30.279 bs. But I was going to tell the kids here, the kids don't 361 00:24:30.279 --> 00:24:34.240 call them. It's the real world. Honestly, We've had bosses or situations 362 00:24:34.279 --> 00:24:38.079 where they make life miserable for you, but you have no choice but to 363 00:24:38.079 --> 00:24:42.839 say I can't take this anymore. Yeah, yeah, no. And with 364 00:24:42.960 --> 00:24:45.839 Dion, you could see that it was very artist from the first day. 365 00:24:47.160 --> 00:24:49.680 Well that's interesting because you never think about it from that perspective because it was 366 00:24:49.720 --> 00:24:53.359 like, oh, he's coming in to turn around this program and use the 367 00:24:53.400 --> 00:24:59.039 transfer portal to his advantage, But you don't think about what other people are 368 00:24:59.039 --> 00:25:02.559 giving up to. Yeah, well it's happening now, just after the spring 369 00:25:02.599 --> 00:25:07.680 game this weekend. One of the best wide receivers. Yeah, Kevin Green. 370 00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:12.119 No, no, no, you're not here. Colorado. Colorado did 371 00:25:12.119 --> 00:25:15.960 the same thing. He just left like last year. That's how Arizona got 372 00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:26.319 the uh Loamonia Limonious Craig. Yeah, the wide receiver Montana Limonious Greg got 373 00:25:26.359 --> 00:25:30.000 it. Yeah, it's just crazy, that's just crazy. He would never 374 00:25:30.079 --> 00:25:34.400 get that. What's your first name? Like a month to learn mine? 375 00:25:37.079 --> 00:25:41.799 Ryan, Ryan took me a while to I don't know. That's a hard 376 00:25:41.839 --> 00:25:47.599 one. Yeah, he's only been emailing Jimmy or Ja. I'm sorry, 377 00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:52.279 all right, still waiting on Wait, can't me? I don't know. 378 00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:53.920 Yeah, Look, he's got important things to do, right, he's trying 379 00:25:53.920 --> 00:25:57.519 to coach a team that's trying to get into the n C Double A Junior 380 00:25:57.559 --> 00:26:07.720 College of Playoffs. Okay, I got my pool guy texted me. The 381 00:26:07.799 --> 00:26:11.359 pool guy's about to call into the show. We need him. Jay can't 382 00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:15.519 get his phone numbers, can't get his phone numbers. You call it, 383 00:26:21.000 --> 00:26:25.200 we'll see what happens. Because Raymond knows we can just go through this section 384 00:26:25.279 --> 00:26:27.200 here and then get him on the other side of the commercial. If that's 385 00:26:27.240 --> 00:26:29.960 going to be the case. Oh, that's right. I was gonna say, 386 00:26:29.960 --> 00:26:30.960 this is our last segment. We're leaving after this. No we're not. 387 00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:37.680 We're not okay anything else. At least you want to take your something 388 00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:41.960 else that I was looking at that, I, oh, look at this 389 00:26:42.039 --> 00:26:49.079 Brian Howell, who covers Colorado coming on and defending uh uh Dion. Oh, 390 00:26:49.119 --> 00:26:52.359 because we've had him on the show all the time, right, he's 391 00:26:52.359 --> 00:26:55.960 one of our favorite guys. Yeah, what's he saying? Saying? Basically 392 00:26:56.039 --> 00:26:57.279 saying that you know why, why do they need to do it? So 393 00:26:57.480 --> 00:27:02.359 you knew that if guys had been run from the program that they would come 394 00:27:02.400 --> 00:27:06.200 out and say bad things. It's kind of like, no brainer. Yeah, 395 00:27:06.200 --> 00:27:10.920 you're fired to anytime a coach leaves, you're gonna find players, or 396 00:27:10.960 --> 00:27:12.839 a coach comes, a new coach comes in and does this, You're gonna 397 00:27:12.839 --> 00:27:18.359 find players who can rip on the coach said, which is true, but 398 00:27:18.359 --> 00:27:21.839 it still makes good stuff. My whole my whole thing with him and that 399 00:27:21.920 --> 00:27:26.240 situation was that it was a nice honeymoon for like a month, and it 400 00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:29.960 was a great story for a month nationally and then it kind of got old 401 00:27:30.279 --> 00:27:33.240 and they went one for eight I think the rest of the way, and 402 00:27:33.440 --> 00:27:37.000 especially from that Stanford game when they had a twenty some point lead and they 403 00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:38.960 lost the game, and that's was when it went down. And one of 404 00:27:38.960 --> 00:27:44.279 the things that I mentioned too, was that the whole the whole persona and 405 00:27:44.319 --> 00:27:48.400 the TV cameras everywhere at all times in their team meetings and this and the 406 00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:51.599 like, what the hell are we doing? You know, I mean I 407 00:27:51.599 --> 00:27:52.720 don't you know, I don't want a camera in my face. I put 408 00:27:52.759 --> 00:27:56.200 them just at that when I'm just at a position meeting or something like that. 409 00:27:56.680 --> 00:28:00.599 But you know, I mean, Deon went in there with a strategy 410 00:28:00.680 --> 00:28:04.240 to get some visibility for the program, and he got it. He was 411 00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:07.200 as successful in doing that. He got a lot of run. They sat 412 00:28:07.279 --> 00:28:11.559 twenty thousand that their people are saying, well, you know, it's gone 413 00:28:11.559 --> 00:28:15.799 downhill because they didn't sell out their their their spring game like they did last 414 00:28:15.880 --> 00:28:18.799 year. Of course they didn't. It was cold because he was raining and 415 00:28:18.839 --> 00:28:22.319 cool. Twenty thousand people still there's like, that's way more than Arizona got. 416 00:28:22.599 --> 00:28:23.920 Yeah, and it was Arizona or you didn't go, but Itzona was 417 00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:26.400 kind of impressive. Yeah, no, I was impressed with that, with 418 00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:30.640 the with the crowd they got so Yeah, there were a lot of people 419 00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:37.079 there or eight ten thousands maybe, Yeah, Yeah, to see a scrimmage, 420 00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:40.359 not a scrimmage, to see a practice. Yeah, and it was 421 00:28:40.519 --> 00:28:45.640 just a practice which was kind of a drag. Have you have you spoken 422 00:28:45.680 --> 00:28:52.440 to Noah Flafida just randomly? I have not because we came off really impressed 423 00:28:52.440 --> 00:28:53.880 with him. We've been impressed with him, but he spoke at a press 424 00:28:53.880 --> 00:28:57.839 conference off the Yeah, and we rarely hear him anyway, but he's very 425 00:28:57.880 --> 00:29:02.160 impressive in a weird way, you a, you know, beyond his year's 426 00:29:02.240 --> 00:29:03.519 way. Yeah, does it make sense? It would make sense. I 427 00:29:03.559 --> 00:29:08.559 could see that for him. I could see him being more mature and wise, 428 00:29:08.799 --> 00:29:12.559 especially having to go ahead behind someone, go ahead and ask the athlete 429 00:29:12.599 --> 00:29:21.039 in the room about the presence like my wow, Steve and another one of 430 00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:25.559 it's sort of it's sort of a theory, but you know, his his 431 00:29:25.680 --> 00:29:30.920 take was that when took took the field against Stan, they were down there, 432 00:29:30.960 --> 00:29:33.960 they're they're losing and they were going to lose that game. The game 433 00:29:33.079 --> 00:29:37.640 you saw the game Okay, that Fafia takes the field, he comes on 434 00:29:37.720 --> 00:29:44.119 and he starts playing, and that Steve said, the players started playing better, 435 00:29:44.400 --> 00:29:48.119 that there was more bounce in their skin, they seemed more enthusiastic and 436 00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:53.200 more engaged, engaged, and that it had to do with maybe because they 437 00:29:53.240 --> 00:29:57.240 knew. Maybe because they knew it was almost like he was getting robbed of 438 00:29:57.240 --> 00:30:02.880 playing time. Well, is does it exist? Does that stuff exist? 439 00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:06.599 Do you play? Do you play harder? Yeah, that's better, or 440 00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:08.240 sort of a leader on your total? Well I said that, and we 441 00:30:08.279 --> 00:30:11.920 had a form of players, so that doesn't exist. Okay, so I 442 00:30:11.960 --> 00:30:17.440 think that exists and you experienced it. People get hyped up when someone who's 443 00:30:17.480 --> 00:30:19.880 maybe you know, is good, but they weren't starting, they weren't getting 444 00:30:19.920 --> 00:30:22.880 there playing time, or even if it's just like your friend comes in the 445 00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:26.720 game, they get subbed out. You're down, Jed Fish didn't have any 446 00:30:26.720 --> 00:30:30.599 other options. No, you're in that would fire that can totally fire you 447 00:30:30.680 --> 00:30:34.759 up. Perfect, Because that's what I said. And then fast forward to 448 00:30:36.400 --> 00:30:41.680 Saturday and he walks into he walks in and my the way I said it 449 00:30:41.720 --> 00:30:44.880 was he he has a presence. He walked in the room and the room 450 00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:49.119 was different when he yeah, yeah, like and that not to a level 451 00:30:49.160 --> 00:30:53.079 of Loot Olsen who walked in the room and it you know, but a 452 00:30:53.200 --> 00:30:57.440 certain uh, you know, there's a certain different feeling in the room. 453 00:30:57.480 --> 00:31:00.279 And he just again, Adam had this presence. He walked in, he 454 00:31:00.319 --> 00:31:04.119 had the big lay over you know, thing over his shoulders, and but 455 00:31:04.480 --> 00:31:07.920 you know, and and he sat at the table and questions started getting asked, 456 00:31:07.960 --> 00:31:12.079 and he was different from the other guys and you could tell that the 457 00:31:12.160 --> 00:31:15.000 room felt different because he was in it. Yeah, which is kind of 458 00:31:15.200 --> 00:31:18.000 and that was to my point where you can see that they respect him a 459 00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:21.559 lot. They don't want to disappoint him, so they played harder, they 460 00:31:21.599 --> 00:31:23.319 won the game. I think that's super important to have on a team, 461 00:31:23.319 --> 00:31:29.359 to someone who's in that position where you're commanding the field. And that's different 462 00:31:29.400 --> 00:31:33.160 than Dolaura being on the field because he wasn't doing much, and he hadn't 463 00:31:33.160 --> 00:31:37.200 done much and he was well. I think I think there was a feeling 464 00:31:37.240 --> 00:31:42.000 too with with with with Delora that what we all said about him was that 465 00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:45.079 he, you know, he was too much of a gun slinger, taking 466 00:31:45.079 --> 00:31:48.839 too many risks, and maybe guys were saying, you know, I need 467 00:31:48.880 --> 00:31:52.880 somebody who's more steady, and in that game he did exactly that, right, 468 00:31:53.279 --> 00:31:56.960 that's what he was. Yeah, you know when you when you see 469 00:31:56.960 --> 00:32:00.519 what happened in the Mississippi State game, Uh, you know a couple of 470 00:32:00.559 --> 00:32:05.039 games the year before where you know he was good, but sometimes he was 471 00:32:06.680 --> 00:32:08.359 he thought he was better than he was and was trying to do things that 472 00:32:08.440 --> 00:32:13.119 he really wasn't capable of doing. And guys may might have been frustrated with 473 00:32:13.160 --> 00:32:15.680 that and say I need somebody who's got a good head on their shoulders, 474 00:32:15.680 --> 00:32:19.519 and there is going to be taking the chances that this guy's take. Flafida 475 00:32:19.640 --> 00:32:22.440 definitely played with a chip on his shoulder and you could see that, yeah, 476 00:32:22.559 --> 00:32:27.160 that he wasn't arrogant. Well, to me, it was more about 477 00:32:27.200 --> 00:32:30.559 just that he he was good. He knew he was good. He had 478 00:32:30.599 --> 00:32:34.519 done the homework and done all the work to want to be able to walk 479 00:32:34.559 --> 00:32:37.559 into the game and play well. Yeah. So I don't know there was 480 00:32:37.799 --> 00:32:42.279 so much about it being a chip on his shoulder, just more of a 481 00:32:42.480 --> 00:32:45.160 I want to show people what I can do because I know I'm pretty good. 482 00:32:45.400 --> 00:32:50.200 Yeah. Confidence, Yeah, let's particular break to have how can be 483 00:32:50.200 --> 00:32:52.039 ready for us.

Wow man with two hats. Now. 531 00:36:20.519 --> 00:36:22.800 In fact, I'm curious have you do you see our logos when we put 532 00:36:22.800 --> 00:36:30.639 our guests and your pictures? Do you see those? I don't think so. 533 00:36:30.639 --> 00:36:32.119 So. So you had your ad, you had your press conference today, 534 00:36:32.119 --> 00:36:35.639 and we're thinking, who is that dude with the mic? Well, 535 00:36:35.679 --> 00:36:38.639 it's totally different than the guy we have featuring. You're in a baseball hat 536 00:36:38.639 --> 00:36:42.360 with us, and in a beard and the whole bit. And now we 537 00:36:42.480 --> 00:36:46.719 look at you man, you know what, I had to clean myself up 538 00:36:46.719 --> 00:36:51.960 a little bit and uh, you know, and no hat on and and 539 00:36:51.960 --> 00:36:55.199 and shave and you know, do some things that I need to do. 540 00:36:55.519 --> 00:36:58.480 No, that's cool, that's cool, all right, So Ken, the 541 00:36:58.519 --> 00:37:00.320 first thing we need to ask is what are you thinking? You know, 542 00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:04.159 you got a great job, you're doing it. You're You've got in probably 543 00:37:04.159 --> 00:37:07.639 a very time consuming job coaching baseball. Now you're the athletic director too. 544 00:37:08.360 --> 00:37:10.800 How how is ken? Howck am you going to manage all of that? 545 00:37:13.360 --> 00:37:19.480 Well? Fortunately, I'll have people in place with my with my coaching staff, 546 00:37:21.159 --> 00:37:25.119 who understand our system, and we put a system in six years ago, 547 00:37:25.599 --> 00:37:30.159 and we we believe in that system. Our players understand it, our 548 00:37:30.199 --> 00:37:36.599 coaches understand it. And so with that being said, it will take a 549 00:37:36.639 --> 00:37:42.639 little bit off of my plate because I trust my assistant coaches UH and their 550 00:37:42.679 --> 00:37:46.159 ability to help, you know, run the system that we put in place. 551 00:37:46.239 --> 00:37:50.840 And then on the other side, you know, there's there's people that 552 00:37:50.920 --> 00:37:54.880 are already there, Todd pold House and Dan Befell, people that are working 553 00:37:55.280 --> 00:38:00.840 within the athletic department UH as we speak, who are are going to be 554 00:38:00.880 --> 00:38:06.239 there for me to to lean on when needed. So I feel good about 555 00:38:07.199 --> 00:38:10.000 the support that I have on both sides. And with that being said, 556 00:38:10.000 --> 00:38:14.159 I feel like I can handle both jobs. I think, didn't you go 557 00:38:14.239 --> 00:38:19.400 to school to study to become an administrator as well? I got my master's 558 00:38:19.400 --> 00:38:22.239 degree in educational leadership, So yeah, I did. Okay, So is 559 00:38:22.280 --> 00:38:27.679 this kind of like what you were hoping to do eventually, I think so. 560 00:38:27.880 --> 00:38:32.280 I mean, it's something that has crossed my mind throughout my coaching career. 561 00:38:36.679 --> 00:38:42.159 Who lost you. I love coaching, and I love being on the 562 00:38:42.159 --> 00:38:46.599 field with our players and and helping those kids move along and get to the 563 00:38:46.639 --> 00:38:51.840 next level and helping helping them develop. But you know, in the back 564 00:38:51.880 --> 00:38:53.320 of my mind, I've always thought, you know, what what would be 565 00:38:53.519 --> 00:38:58.840 like for me to be an administrator and trying to help you know, not 566 00:38:59.079 --> 00:39:04.519 just thirty thirty student athletes, but three hundred, four hundred student athletes. 567 00:39:04.559 --> 00:39:08.280 So that's that's what I'm gonna work hard on and is trying to help these 568 00:39:08.320 --> 00:39:15.400 student athletes with what they need. Being that you're a coach and an athletic 569 00:39:15.400 --> 00:39:19.920 director, Now, how will being a coach an active coach help you to 570 00:39:20.039 --> 00:39:23.360 be an athletic director. Have you thought about that at all or you know, 571 00:39:23.400 --> 00:39:29.119 is there an answer to that question? Well, I think as a 572 00:39:29.119 --> 00:39:37.719 as a coach, you understand the needs in your and you know some things 573 00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:43.719 that could help you and your program get better. So with that being said, 574 00:39:44.519 --> 00:39:50.320 I know that when I'm thinking that, they at team of college that 575 00:39:50.400 --> 00:39:53.320 are thinking the same thing, you know, And so I feel like now 576 00:39:53.360 --> 00:40:00.239 I want to just help provide opportunities for success at this in different sports, 577 00:40:00.239 --> 00:40:05.119 at different levels. And you know, we're we're all in in it for 578 00:40:05.159 --> 00:40:09.000 the same reason for the student athletes and trying to help them, guide them, 579 00:40:09.679 --> 00:40:14.639 develop them so they can continue on and move on to the next level. 580 00:40:14.760 --> 00:40:17.280 So, you know, just being a coach I think helps me understand 581 00:40:17.320 --> 00:40:22.440 that. And uh and and now I get to do a different part of 582 00:40:22.440 --> 00:40:29.280 that job and and try and and give back and with some of the needs 583 00:40:29.320 --> 00:40:31.880 that other coaches may have. Yeah, no question, I could be wrong. 584 00:40:32.000 --> 00:40:36.760 I think I don't think that we enjoy talking to Monica a lot throughout 585 00:40:36.760 --> 00:40:39.519 the year and years. Uh. He fell into a nice spot because Pima 586 00:40:39.679 --> 00:40:43.679 is kind of like the sleeping giant that is here now, a giant of 587 00:40:43.760 --> 00:40:46.760 doing a lot of things in athletics. Where do you think you've landed with 588 00:40:46.840 --> 00:40:52.800 this, because it's I think you're in a good situation. I'm in a 589 00:40:52.800 --> 00:40:59.800 great situation. Our athletic department is in really good shape right now. We 590 00:40:59.840 --> 00:41:07.679 have unbelievably unbelievable coaches. Uh. Our programs win, they win championships, 591 00:41:07.039 --> 00:41:12.719 they go to post season. We're unbelievable in the classroom, we graduate our 592 00:41:12.760 --> 00:41:15.599 students and move them on to the next level. So, uh, you 593 00:41:15.639 --> 00:41:22.000 know, it's I couldn't be I couldn't be more happy landing this job because 594 00:41:22.039 --> 00:41:25.480 I know we're in a great position right now. So it'll be a challenge 595 00:41:25.519 --> 00:41:30.920 for me to continue the growth of this department because we're doing really well right 596 00:41:30.960 --> 00:41:36.719 now. We're talking to Ken Hawk, me the new athletic director at Pema 597 00:41:36.800 --> 00:41:40.480 College, also still the baseball coach, so you know, feeding off of 598 00:41:40.480 --> 00:41:45.159 that a little bit. I mean, you're stepping into this job, do 599 00:41:45.199 --> 00:41:49.639 you already have a good a good sense of what your main challenges are in 600 00:41:49.719 --> 00:41:52.000 terms of, you know, all the things that are going on in athletics, 601 00:41:52.000 --> 00:41:55.960 whether it's you know, nil at the you know at the at the 602 00:41:57.320 --> 00:42:01.199 four year schools, whether it's you know, recruiting, budgets, all those 603 00:42:01.239 --> 00:42:05.039 things that you're tackling. Now you know, you're having to look at it 604 00:42:05.280 --> 00:42:08.599 as more than a baseball coach. Now you're the athletic director. What's on 605 00:42:08.639 --> 00:42:13.480 your mind in terms of where you have your the I don't know if you 606 00:42:13.480 --> 00:42:16.239 want to call them priorities. Were the biggest challenges for for your new job. 607 00:42:17.719 --> 00:42:22.639 Well, I think I think right now, I mean always, you're 608 00:42:22.679 --> 00:42:29.000 always as an administrator, you're always concerned about budget issues, so we need 609 00:42:29.039 --> 00:42:31.159 to look at that. I feel good about where we're at right now. 610 00:42:31.199 --> 00:42:36.760 I think Pema College has done a great job supporting the athletic program, and 611 00:42:37.159 --> 00:42:40.360 I think we're in good shape. We feel good about where we're at. 612 00:42:40.760 --> 00:42:47.440 There's always challenges with you know, just with graduation and you know, grades 613 00:42:47.599 --> 00:42:53.039 and you know, keeping kids eligible and supporting them as much as we can, 614 00:42:53.199 --> 00:42:59.239 so you know, those are challenges. But again, like we're in 615 00:42:59.320 --> 00:43:04.400 pretty good shape right now, and so I'm feel good about where we're at, 616 00:43:05.320 --> 00:43:07.159 you know, but there will be things that come up and we move 617 00:43:07.239 --> 00:43:13.880 forward that we'll have to attack and and and get right and make sure that 618 00:43:14.119 --> 00:43:17.440 we're in good shape because uh, you know, again, it's about the 619 00:43:17.519 --> 00:43:22.519 kids. It's about the student athletes, and we've got to make sure they 620 00:43:22.559 --> 00:43:25.199 have what they need. So that will always be a challenge to make sure 621 00:43:25.280 --> 00:43:30.440 that if they have what they need to be successful in the classroom, out 622 00:43:30.480 --> 00:43:34.719 on the field, on the court and things like that, so we can 623 00:43:34.880 --> 00:43:37.360 we can move them on. So I'm hoping I'm not speaking out of line 624 00:43:37.400 --> 00:43:40.079 for this question. But I think you're in good shape baseball wise too, 625 00:43:40.119 --> 00:43:44.760 because, right, you have the playoffs coming up soon. We do. 626 00:43:45.119 --> 00:43:50.800 We we host the first round against Arizona Western this weekend. So we played 627 00:43:50.920 --> 00:43:54.360 Thursday Friday Saturday. Hopefully we play Thursday Friday. We don't have to play 628 00:43:54.400 --> 00:44:00.679 Saturday. But it's a three game series. You know. I like where 629 00:44:00.679 --> 00:44:04.119 we're at. I like our teams. You know, we finished forty two 630 00:44:04.239 --> 00:44:07.079 and fourteen. We won forty games two years in a row. We're ranked 631 00:44:07.519 --> 00:44:13.159 thirteen I think in the country. So I feel good about where we're at, 632 00:44:13.320 --> 00:44:16.599 and I look forward to this weekend. All right, So if you 633 00:44:17.199 --> 00:44:21.519 don't do well, you're not going to fire yourself or anything like that, 634 00:44:21.599 --> 00:44:27.280 are you? I probably not. I don't think that. I think forty 635 00:44:27.320 --> 00:44:30.800 one should be able to keep my job at least for another year. You 636 00:44:30.840 --> 00:44:34.840 probably liked your boss, Yeah, your boss is probably maybe you like him 637 00:44:34.840 --> 00:44:38.519 sometimes, right, So Monicaeo Monco had been thinking about retirement for a while. 638 00:44:38.960 --> 00:44:43.000 I'm sure it kind of leaked out there too. Did you kind of 639 00:44:43.000 --> 00:44:45.320 have an idea? Okay, I'm ready for this job, maybe a few 640 00:44:45.360 --> 00:44:50.599 months ago. Well, I mean, you know, he knew he was 641 00:44:50.639 --> 00:44:52.920 going to retire. I mean, everybody kind of knew, you know, 642 00:44:52.960 --> 00:44:57.760 a couple of months back that he was going to call it a career. 643 00:44:58.360 --> 00:45:04.920 And so when that when when he made that announcement to to us our staff, 644 00:45:06.559 --> 00:45:08.760 I jumped in and tried to help out as much as I could and 645 00:45:08.840 --> 00:45:12.639 learn as much as I could, because I thought, you know what, 646 00:45:12.800 --> 00:45:17.920 this might be a situation where I want to get into administration and maybe uh 647 00:45:19.360 --> 00:45:22.679 pursue that athletic director job. So I jumped in and just tried to learn 648 00:45:23.199 --> 00:45:27.119 do as much as I could. I went to a couple of athletic director 649 00:45:27.239 --> 00:45:31.000 meetings and Prescott and you know, kind of got my feet wet to see, 650 00:45:31.199 --> 00:45:34.840 you know, what it was all about. So, you know, 651 00:45:35.000 --> 00:45:38.760 I feel going in like I have a pretty good idea where we're at and 652 00:45:38.880 --> 00:45:45.119 uh and a pretty good understanding of what what what's what's expected. Yeah, 653 00:45:45.199 --> 00:45:49.119 well, coach, congrats, good luck this weekend. Maybe we'll talk to 654 00:45:49.159 --> 00:45:52.400 you down the road if you guys continue to win. Thank you guys, 655 00:45:52.440 --> 00:45:55.280 I appreciate you as always. Yeah we will. Then we'll get a new 656 00:45:55.320 --> 00:46:04.360 monk shut of you. Thanks. I have a good one. He looks 657 00:46:04.360 --> 00:46:07.840 totally different, totally different. You think you got a bigger office. I 658 00:46:07.880 --> 00:46:10.719 don't know, that's a good question. Does he have an outfits? Well 659 00:46:10.880 --> 00:46:15.760 yeah, I mean well yeah, I mean is his baseball office like over 660 00:46:15.800 --> 00:46:17.920 in the athletic complex so there?
