We're welcome back to I on the Ball here, I'll Fox 3 00:00:13.720 --> 00:00:16.760 Sports fourteen fifteen. I'm Steve River. He's Jacon's aw Snow. We got 4 00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:24.800 our guy Jason with Ricky News I on the Balls. The Arizona men's basketball 5 00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:28.480 team has announced that it has agreed to a home home series with the Wooden 6 00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:33.439 Wisconsin Badgers, with the team's meeting in twoson during the twenty twenty twenty fourth 7 00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:38.439 season. Revenge, you know, I saw a lot of that, Oh, 8 00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:41.159 revenge game, revenge game. You know what you can. You can 9 00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:46.640 beat Wisconsin every time you play them for the rest of our lives. And 10 00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:50.200 that's not gonna make up for the two Elite eights. You never will. 11 00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:56.520 People are saying you hashtag revenge like shut up, that there's no unless you 12 00:00:56.600 --> 00:00:59.880 do the same thing back to them, beat him twice in the Elite eight. 13 00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:03.519 It's not even yet. But the good note it's against the quality team 14 00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:07.480 and they're coming here for ticket holders, right, so it's gonna be a 15 00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:11.480 home game. In addition to a tougher, tougher schedule next year. Right 16 00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:15.079 one of the best ones they've had in a while. Well, four tough 17 00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:19.480 games they've got. They've got Michigan State in Palm Springs over Thanksgiving, they're 18 00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:23.120 gonna play at Duke, which is great because then we get that one coming 19 00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:26.319 back next year, and then Alabama they're gonna play them up in Phoenix. 20 00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:30.879 So that's four. That's four quality games, four games that you know, 21 00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:36.159 when when you start talking NC Double A tournament stuff, just the fact that 22 00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:40.760 you played those games is a good thing. And so look, I know 23 00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:42.599 fans are gonna be all fired up for Wisconsin. Let's get them because of 24 00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:46.000 what they did to us. YadA YadA, Yeah, and it'll make for 25 00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:49.760 a great atmosphere, But make no mistake, there's no making up for you 26 00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:52.599 know, beating in Wisconsin here next year is not going to make you feel 27 00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:55.400 better about those back to back you lead eight loss. By the way, 28 00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:57.439 Sam Dickers not coming through that locker room, so you can't get him yet, 29 00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:01.799 you're right, and Frank commenced Swift, So and they know everybody's rooting 30 00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:05.959 for neither of those guys to make it in the NBA. But that's because 31 00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:09.759 we're just a bunch of bigger souls when it comes to basketball bidders. All 32 00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:14.759 right, this the stage of staff for the NC Double A Singles Championship at 33 00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:20.439 the U s TA National chap National Campus in Atlanta, Florida, where Jonah's 34 00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:23.280 Iverts and Colden Smith will compete against two top seeded Oh, I will say 35 00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:28.280 about guys in the round and sixty four today this is on.

What level it's just a big one, big tournament or yeah, 39 00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:39.439 yeah, because because they're having the you know, it's the NC Double A 40 00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:44.000 team tournament as well. Yeah, but then you know, like golf, 41 00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:47.520 individuals can also qualify. Me have a chance to be in Yeah. Two 42 00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:52.319 UA players are in it.

So another accomplishment for Chase Davis. Yeah, I've never did 48 00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:21.120 you have you seen baseball this year? Did you? Yeah? I haven't 49 00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:23.199 gone to a game. I watched a bunch of TV and he's really good. 50 00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:28.960 Yeah. Well he did you see the Golden Spikes thing? Yeah? 51 00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:30.719 Why did you go with that one? Yeah? So he um. He 52 00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:36.199 has earned one of the twenty five um spots as a semi finalist for the 53 00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:39.840 USA Golden Spikes Award. So another accomplishment which goes to the top player Yeah 54 00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:46.639 college baseball. Yeah, an award that Terry Francona won. Yeah, so 55 00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:50.000 so yeah, he man, he can hit the ball really far. At 56 00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:52.919 one of the games that I saw him last year, he hit a ball 57 00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:57.319 over the Terry Francona building over there. I mean he's left center, he's 58 00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:01.000 a lefty. He hit he hit a home run opposite field, uh, 59 00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:03.840 over the weekend, which is I don't know that I can hit a golf 60 00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:06.360 ball that far. So, I mean he got it up, up and 61 00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:11.240 out opposite field, which is the high Court's a big field. It's three 62 00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:14.439 to sixty and change down the line, you know, four ten in the 63 00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:16.879 gaps and when you hit a home home run, opposite field over there. 64 00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:19.639 That means you really really have a lot of power, you can hit it 65 00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:26.639 far. Okay, After nineteen NBA seasons, Carmelo Empty announces that he has 66 00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:30.680 retired from basketball. UM. Carmelo was a ten time All Star and one 67 00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:33.759 of the voted was one of the sudden five greatest players UM and one of 68 00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:38.040 the greatest scores in NBA history. Very good. But I woke up into 69 00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:43.120 this news and I'm thinking, what he was an retirement? Yeah, that's 70 00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:46.959 what I thought. He didn't play this this past season, but he wanted 71 00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:48.759 to officially announce his retirement. Well, he didn't play. He played a 72 00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:54.199 little last year, twenty twenty two, he didn't play, but he hasn't 73 00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:58.240 played at all this He's about your I see why I say I thought he 74 00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:02.399 retired. It's like Miles Miles Assignment retired and we looked at each other. 75 00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:06.120 When was he playing? And that's not a knock. I'm just just remember, 76 00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:11.160 Okay, you've been out for a while, because you want to you 77 00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:13.399 want to write your own tombstone, right, you want to kind of say 78 00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:16.160 he was a good guy. That's what mine's gonna say. Yeah, So 79 00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:23.160 that's um. So I mean yes, followed Camello's career. Yeah, I 80 00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:26.959 was. I was at the final four one him and the guard I forget 81 00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:30.600 his name now, very good players obviously that and that was your guy's first 82 00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:33.199 championship and won an only championship I think of Beheim. Yeah, and this 83 00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:38.759 was twenty years ago whatever it was. Yeah, obviously I'm stood back in 84 00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:42.959 college one year guy, um and then kind of just kind of maturical, 85 00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:46.759 you know, had some great careers but also kind of different. I mean, 86 00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:48.319 right, yeah, I mean he was really just known where he scoring, 87 00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:51.160 right, I mean he had a couple of you know, playoff runs, 88 00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:55.160 but he didn't really We're just full potential, like people really thought. 89 00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:58.319 Whatever. I feel like he's gonna be like Charles Barkley. Yeah, probably 90 00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:00.279 the guy who didn't win a tie right, pretty good. But yeah, 91 00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:04.399 I think he should be remembered as one of the best scores of this generation. 92 00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:08.160 I feel like I'll be his legacy to him. So yeah, yeah, 93 00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:15.199 nineteen years yeah. Um. The bucks Um have a narrowed down their 94 00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:18.519 top candidate kind of candidates for their head coach position to Nick Nurse, the 95 00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:24.920 Golden State assistant Kenny Atkinson, and the Toronto assistant Adan Griffin. Other three 96 00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:28.720 top choices as of right now. So that was the one that Joseph Blair 97 00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:31.279 right interview, Right, Yeah, I think in time that he'll get a 98 00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:33.399 job somewhere. He will. Yeah, he'll, you know, he'll he'll 99 00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:36.560 stay in the he'll stay in the you know, in the rotation, get 100 00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:42.000 through to get into cycling clients. I would expect more of a situation where 101 00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:45.399 he goes to a you know, not one of the better top teams in 102 00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:48.399 the league. Right, those guys are we want to win, right building, 103 00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:51.639 right Orlando or something like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 104 00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:55.720 you're you're right. I mean, if he's getting interviews now, he's 105 00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:58.839 gonna start, he's gonna get more you so he'll be a head coach. 106 00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:03.160 Super BOWLS sixty UM has been announced. It will be held in San Francisco 107 00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:06.040 Bay Area in twenty twenty six. So I was to say, what, 108 00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:10.000 you know, twenty twenty six. Yeah, the twenty twenty sixth game, 109 00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:13.639 so following the twenty twenty five season. But it'll be back at the Levi 110 00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:17.759 Stadium U technically Santa Clara, but they call it the San Francisco Bay Area. 111 00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:21.519 Yeah, But so Super Bowl back on the side of the country. 112 00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:27.920 Yep. Uh. The twenty twenty five NFL Draft will take place at lambeau 113 00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:31.959 Field, where the Packers play. So someone said, was you or maybe 114 00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:35.680 someone else said, they play they do it at the champion of the Super 115 00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:39.959 Bowl because they played it they had a Kansas city. Somebody suggested that, 116 00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:43.680 oh, suggested somebody, I don't know if it was a columnist or whatever. 117 00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:47.399 Somebody suggested that if you win the Super Bowl, you should be rewarded 118 00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:50.399 with having the host year city. I think it's probably. Well, they 119 00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:53.519 probably have to plan for it obviously, so they have to do it, 120 00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:57.560 yeah, in months, but that's just for next year, right, Yeah, 121 00:07:57.560 --> 00:08:05.639 So I guess they draft next year in Vegas Super Bowls, Super Bowl. 122 00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:09.360 Yes, I don't know where the drafted. Yeah. So that's why 123 00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:11.079 they have to plan for it, and it gives them some time. Yeah, 124 00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:18.079 okay. Um. Lakers center Mo Bamba is expected to return after missing 125 00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:22.720 a tennis straight games with an anchor ankle injury. Um. Mo Bamba is 126 00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:28.160 expected to provide some vital minutes um for the Lakers in their crucial center. 127 00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:31.600 Um, the struggles. Do you think that they'll win tonight? Yeah? 128 00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:35.159 I expect them to win spect to do to kind of throw the kitchen sink 129 00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:37.720 at the Nuggets. I thought that would happen last game. Yeah, I 130 00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:43.320 thought for sure, But I mean the adjudgments I thought we're gonna happen didn't 131 00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:46.000 happen. So I expect them to happen. Now. Maybe I'm wrong and 132 00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:48.919 they won't happen, and then they'll be over. But I'm expecting the Lakers, 133 00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:50.879 though everything they have to win this game. Maybe they have two good 134 00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:54.279 games in them. Maybe. So, so let's assume they win tonight, 135 00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:58.200 they go back to Denver. They play three, there's a two three two. 136 00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:01.360 They go back to Denver. It's two two two one one, okay, 137 00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:03.279 yeah, yeah, yeah, it's gonna be tough to win in Denver. 138 00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:05.279 Yeah. I think then I think Lakers, once behind the Denver finishes 139 00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:11.679 in five. So, um, that's all the break I have. You 140 00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:15.960 have any updates on the golm golf? Yeah, women's golf there. It's 141 00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:18.960 man, this is just going back and forth. They they got back up 142 00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:22.559 into eighth place. Now they've dropped down to ninth and they're two strokes out 143 00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:26.159 of base. I guess Pepperdine must they had two birdies in a very short 144 00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:30.200 period of time. So okay, Pepperdine is a plus nine Arizona and New 145 00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:33.279 Mexico or plus eleven um. And so both of them, both of them 146 00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:41.240 are trying to get up into the UH into into the into the top eight 147 00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:46.600 so that they can qualify for the for the bracket. Steve's coughing up along 148 00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:50.120 right now. You can probably here how you do. Um. I was 149 00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:52.320 trying to see where the where next year's draft is going to be. But 150 00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:56.000 I called up a story but he didn't say. Um, A couple of 151 00:09:56.000 --> 00:10:05.039 little things. Um uh. The Oakland A's man fired. They're they're a 152 00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:11.960 broadcaster, the like nineteen year broadcaster Glenn Kuiper who said a bad word. 153 00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:15.399 Uh, not just a bad word, just a very unfortunate thing. He 154 00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:20.159 was trying to say he was talking about the Negro League, but he said 155 00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:24.039 the N word league. Oh wow. And this happened a few weeks ago. 156 00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:30.080 He apologized, but he officially got fired today and he is out seventeen 157 00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:33.840 He was in the seventeenth season. Um, and he is out. That 158 00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:37.600 that's I don't know what took him so long, but you know that's automatic. 159 00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:41.279 That's like, you know, you're like an automatic ejection from a game. 160 00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:43.919 You punch a guy in the face, you're automatically ejective, right, 161 00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:46.919 the same kind of thing. So he got asked, Um, did you 162 00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:50.000 watch boxing this weekend? I did not, but it was a huge do 163 00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:56.519 you watch Look, yeah, the controversial before he won, but he didn't 164 00:10:56.559 --> 00:10:58.720 really win, right, No, I thought it should have been a draw. 165 00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:01.240 I know people think, um, the other guys should have won, 166 00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:03.399 but I don't. I saw this, I saw the score cards. I 167 00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:07.039 didn't. I don't understand how they escort it the way he did. Yeah, 168 00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:09.240 but I thought it should have been a draw, like and it wasn't 169 00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:11.720 even I wasn't even close. It wasn't close. But the other guy I 170 00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:13.559 should have won, yeah, Um so yeah, and I don't I don't 171 00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:16.000 know. I can't pronounce his name, so I wantn't even try. Yeah, 172 00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:18.279 but yeah, I heard that he probably won, yeah, in a 173 00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:22.320 close fight. Yeah. So yeah, I don't know what happened with that 174 00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:24.360 whole story. I don't know what the judges were looking at, but I 175 00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:28.480 mean, yeah, and there was also you have anything else, Yeah, 176 00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:33.440 I do. The Raiders owner Mark davis Um told ESPNS Um that they have 177 00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:37.840 came to an agreement for Tom Brady to become a partner in the Raiders. 178 00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:41.960 UM, they submitted an approval to the NFL, and they're excited for Tom 179 00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:43.480 to join the Raiders. Yeah, he's gonna be a partnowner of the team. 180 00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:48.320 Yeah. And there's been some there's been some discussion about whether that's okay 181 00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:52.879 with Tom Brady. Tom Brady also in a broadcasters role, UM, and 182 00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:54.919 so, but they've said, you know, yeah, he had me and 183 00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:58.840 be okay, and he just won't do any Raiders games. So they were 184 00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:03.519 fine with that. UM. Here's a little one. UM Athlon magazine, 185 00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:07.639 one of the one of those football magazines like Lindy's that our friend Anthony Jamino 186 00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:13.399 works with UM has come out with their pack twelve predictions for twenty twenty three. 187 00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:18.559 UM. They've got USC winning the league over Washington, UM and then 188 00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:24.960 Utah third, Oregon fourth, Oregon State fifth, U six, Washington State 189 00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:30.600 seventh, Arizona in eighth at six and six, meaning they would go to 190 00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:33.080 a bowl. Well they'd be eligible to go to Yeah. So and that 191 00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:37.879 might even come make a j Jake's prediction if they win that and then they 192 00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:41.919 win the Bowl game. They win seven games. Hiss, thro optimists. 193 00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:43.879 I also want to talk about Oscar Baldez, you know the kids from Newgallis. 194 00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:48.559 He was He was fighting over the weekend two and i'll say him undercard. 195 00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:52.320 He won, So he's kind of kind of making the road back from 196 00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:56.120 what he what he had. He's thirty one and one and hopes to get 197 00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:58.120 back at the title. All right, so yeah, you know what he 198 00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:00.919 was. It was a good it was fun to have on the show. 199 00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:09.639 UM and then um so in the ongoing saga of the PAC twelve meta immedia 200 00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:16.360 thing, um, it was reported somebody from the Big twelve I think went 201 00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:20.960 on went public publicly and said that he was told that ESPN is no longer 202 00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:24.960 involved in the bidding for anything from the PAC twelve. Now you got you 203 00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:31.960 gotta take into consideration where you know the source is UM but it separately, 204 00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:37.480 there was also a report that the CW is trying to sort of kickstart or 205 00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:41.799 start uh doing a lot of sports. They they're the ones that got lived 206 00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:48.679 golf. They're trying to get NASCAR um and and or some or no not 207 00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:52.840 nascars, some mini car racing and that they're trying to go after college football, 208 00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:56.000 and really the PAC twelve is the only league that doesn't have a TV 209 00:13:56.279 --> 00:14:01.440 TV deal right now. So the assumption is that they're to get twelve. 210 00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:05.360 How disapline would not be good? How disappointed would be the best? If 211 00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:09.879 that's the best the PAC twelf can do that that if that becomes the case, 212 00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:11.440 and I can see the Pack twelve break. But I'm not gonnasider and 213 00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:15.840 say that's what's about to happen. There's again a bunch of speculation, a 214 00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:20.080 bunch of people throwing stuff out seeing a fiddle stick, I know something rot 215 00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:24.720 I think so guys have been making predictions about this stuff for year, or 216 00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:30.360 for over a year now, and nobody's been right yet. So as as 217 00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:35.519 one one column desire to say says, don't believe anything you hear about this 218 00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:39.679 until somebody right the deal is done, right everyone, I'm sure you get 219 00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:43.240 questions all the time. I guess I said you're gonna have to wait. 220 00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:45.600 I mean you're gonna have to wait. We waited this long. Once another 221 00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:48.200 month or so, well, maybe within the month. I think Wildar had 222 00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:52.000 said at the end of the month, something should she thought something should happen 223 00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:52.960 by the end of the month. Right, Okay, all right, let's 224 00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:56.240 let's take our break. Where to come back.

We will just make it regular every 272 00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:44.359 year, coach for you to be our usual guest. Just could that could 273 00:18:44.359 --> 00:18:49.559 be a good thing? How was this one compared to last year's? This 274 00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:55.799 year just as exciting, just as um, just as meaningful. Um. 275 00:18:56.000 --> 00:19:02.200 Just just have grind it out as last year. UM. But definitely definitely 276 00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:06.519 still kind of on an adrenaline rush from it. Well, you went through 277 00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:08.440 a long week to get there. Oh no, I think about that. 278 00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:11.680 That was to be. That was the other state championship team. But you 279 00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:15.160 guys, yeah, but you guys went thirty five and one. You know, 280 00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:19.480 basketball, okay, thirty five and one, but softball going I mean 281 00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:22.880 there's a lot, there's that's a lot to only lose one game, because 282 00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:26.680 we know that in softball and baseball, on any given day, anybody can 283 00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:30.680 beat anybody. But how did you guys go thirty five and one? Uh? 284 00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:37.039 This group was this group was incredibly resilient. They were hard workers, 285 00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:41.880 They really were mentally tough, and when when we had some adversity in the 286 00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:45.359 game, they just kind of they locked in, they leaned into it and 287 00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:49.160 used this to kind of fuel them to uh, to propel them to a 288 00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:56.759 successful game. And now about that one loss, just how the hell did 289 00:19:56.759 --> 00:20:00.839 that happen? Yeah, we we lost. We lost to Hamilton up in 290 00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:04.079 Bullhead City, up in the tournament early in the season. Did that help 291 00:20:04.119 --> 00:20:08.960 you kind of maybe get things right again? You know, I will take 292 00:20:10.119 --> 00:20:14.960 any kind of failure or adversity because I think it's such a great teacher. 293 00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:17.880 Yeah, Okay, this is what we need to do. This is what 294 00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:21.519 we need to overcome. This is what we You know, it helps you 295 00:20:21.599 --> 00:20:25.839 guide your practice, it helps you guide your game plan, it helps you 296 00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:27.920 guide your players as to Okay, we didn't like that feeling. What are 297 00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:30.640 we going to do different? Right? Right? Well, you know that 298 00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:33.279 that's always one of those questions, you know, is there is there such 299 00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:37.039 a thing as a good loss. I personally don't. I don't know. 300 00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:40.960 I don't. I've never liked that. But there are teams that do and 301 00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:44.799 coaches that do, and as you said, you feel like you learn from 302 00:20:44.839 --> 00:20:48.599 from something like that. But what what did you guys specifically talk about after 303 00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:53.680 that game that you maybe help you later on down the road. I think 304 00:20:53.720 --> 00:20:57.880 it was the being connected. During that game. We felt very disconnected. 305 00:20:57.920 --> 00:21:02.119 Even the warm ups you can kind of tell that we were we were not 306 00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:07.039 operating as one unit. So I think that was a definite wake up call 307 00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:08.400 saying, hey, if you guys are going to do this, if you're 308 00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:11.079 going to go all the way, we've got to be one and we've got 309 00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:17.000 to trust each other and and and just go back to what we've been preaching 310 00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:19.440 all seasons. Team first, that's what comes first. So when you took 311 00:21:19.480 --> 00:21:22.960 this job a couple of years ago, what were expectations? Were you nervous 312 00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:26.640 given that they had a lot of success coming up? And then now you 313 00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:33.480 went too straight? Of course, of course you want to maintain that tradition 314 00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:37.480 of excellence and being an alumni, and you know of South Point. Obviously 315 00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:41.799 we've that's kind of ingrained in you a little bit from going there for four 316 00:21:41.880 --> 00:21:47.680 years. But but absolutely absolutely, and we just we just wanted to continue. 317 00:21:48.279 --> 00:21:53.039 It was just it was a privilege stepping into that job and being able 318 00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:59.480 to sustain a few more state championships and sustain that level of commitment and dedication 319 00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:04.039 that UM that we've seen in the previous team. Okay, I'm gonna I'm 320 00:22:04.039 --> 00:22:08.319 gonna say, I'm gonna say the D word dynasty. Do you like that 321 00:22:08.519 --> 00:22:11.279 or not? Do I like that? Go ahead say that? When? 322 00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:15.400 Do you like the word dynasty to describe what you guys are are doing right 323 00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:21.680 now? Or not? I you know, like I guess you can. 324 00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:25.039 I can call it what you want. But we go out there and we 325 00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:26.799 just want to play. We want to play for South Point, We want 326 00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:30.279 to play for each other. UM. And good things happen when when team 327 00:22:30.359 --> 00:22:36.000 to do that. UM. We we hopefully instill our players to lead each 328 00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:41.640 other each year, UM, we instill that work ethic and UM things happen 329 00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:45.839 when when when all those things are in place. So I kind of asked 330 00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:48.000 this of all the coaches that do really well, and this is your second 331 00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:52.319 one, but you must have some type of secret sauce in terms of how 332 00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:56.920 you coach and get getting the message across to your team and your teams in 333 00:22:56.920 --> 00:23:00.799 the last couple of years. Can you say what it is? Do you 334 00:23:00.839 --> 00:23:08.160 think you know what it is? Crumble cookies? I think? I think 335 00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:15.039 if this secret thoughts is just empowering your players, empowering them to believe in 336 00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:21.759 themselves, to believe in each other, and making sure making sure you have 337 00:23:21.880 --> 00:23:26.000 like a player led team, making sure that they have all the tools that 338 00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:32.160 they need, that they're thinking through situations, and really just making sure that 339 00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:36.559 they're an environment where they're able to compete and be their best self. So 340 00:23:36.640 --> 00:23:40.519 let me ask ahead. No, So, j Jay and I have been 341 00:23:40.559 --> 00:23:45.000 talking about this for the last hour when we first came off about teams having 342 00:23:45.079 --> 00:23:48.960 leaders. You can kind of tell who which team doesn't because they may be 343 00:23:48.079 --> 00:23:52.160 good, but they eventually don't get to where they need to go even though 344 00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:55.359 they're talented. Did you have that? Did you have you had it for 345 00:23:55.400 --> 00:23:57.759 a couple of years where you can maybe lean on a player or two where 346 00:23:57.759 --> 00:24:02.640 they they know who they are and they lead the way. Um, I 347 00:24:02.680 --> 00:24:06.480 would love to say, like it was the senior class last year, kudos 348 00:24:06.519 --> 00:24:10.440 to them because I leaned them taking the job two weeks before it started. 349 00:24:10.480 --> 00:24:14.000 I leaned on them a lot, and and they were incredible leaders. They 350 00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:18.599 are incredible leaders to their teammates and and incredible leaders by example. And I 351 00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:25.039 would say again this year we were blessed with some superb leaders who knew what 352 00:24:25.079 --> 00:24:27.880 they wanted and how to get there and how to get the girls on board. 353 00:24:29.799 --> 00:24:33.279 So when you when you look at your team from year to year like 354 00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:36.599 that, Um, how do you turn that over? Right? You're gonna 355 00:24:36.599 --> 00:24:40.240 lose some leaders, but now you got to get some new ones. How 356 00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:42.599 does the coach do that? Or is it something that you're just allowed to 357 00:24:42.640 --> 00:24:47.519 happen. It's got to be kind of a little, I don't want to 358 00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:48.640 say, a weird little way to handle something. But you know, you 359 00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:52.920 got you need the leaders. But how do you get them if you lose 360 00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:56.440 a whole bunch of them at from the previous team. That's a great question. 361 00:24:56.680 --> 00:25:00.480 Um, I think it's I think I think you hit the nail on 362 00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:03.480 the head where you know there's an organic piece of it that needs to happen 363 00:25:03.640 --> 00:25:08.039 within them. But I also think it bringing on some younger players who you 364 00:25:08.079 --> 00:25:11.359 know, see what happens at practice, see what happens during the games, 365 00:25:12.079 --> 00:25:15.519 see what happens at Hill and Brown on the state championship, Like, Hey, 366 00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:18.720 I've never been here before. This is this is so exciting. So 367 00:25:18.759 --> 00:25:25.119 I think you start forming that idea with the younger players and then they get 368 00:25:25.440 --> 00:25:32.400 to buy into the culture of excellence and tradition and watch different leaders. So 369 00:25:32.519 --> 00:25:34.960 it's to me, it's exciting when a new senior class takes over because they've 370 00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:41.640 seen probably three to four different sets of leaders, and they're going to hang 371 00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:45.599 on to what works for them and works for that team this year. So 372 00:25:47.599 --> 00:25:52.039 I guess it's cultivating that culture from when they're from when they're freshmen and sophomores, 373 00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:57.480 and being able to help them in their journey junior and senior year become 374 00:25:57.559 --> 00:26:00.960 leaders on our team. Ask a question, I don't know the facts. 375 00:26:02.039 --> 00:26:07.079 The complete facts of this is but um, but modus your picture she's going 376 00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:11.759 to b y U? Is that correct? That's correct. The one thing 377 00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:15.759 is she's like one of only two pictures in a long time who have done 378 00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:18.400 something special. I can't remember go back to back or do you know what 379 00:26:18.440 --> 00:26:22.200 that means? One of only two pictures are doing something in the state. 380 00:26:22.680 --> 00:26:27.039 So incredible and kudos to her back to back state championships. Um, I 381 00:26:27.079 --> 00:26:32.799 believe there was a whole little article on that maybe on All Sports about the 382 00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:37.200 pictures that have gone back to backs that Benots had some picture, um Alissa 383 00:26:37.240 --> 00:26:40.599 Aguilar before Mades. I think she had three back to back. And then 384 00:26:40.640 --> 00:26:42.920 you can go back to Cdo and the Fowlers and and I'm probably missing a 385 00:26:42.920 --> 00:26:48.200 lot of pictures to go back to back, but that's that's pretty incredible to 386 00:26:48.240 --> 00:26:51.799 be able to go out and pitch the game and know what it takes. 387 00:26:51.839 --> 00:26:55.599 And then next yeared you the same thing. Why you have a new team 388 00:26:55.680 --> 00:26:59.119 to lead a new team to pitch for it. So and this is you 389 00:26:59.359 --> 00:27:02.400 guys want to against a team that's going to UCLA. Is that right? 390 00:27:02.640 --> 00:27:07.519 Pictures going to Las? Yes, that picture was incredibly talented and um, 391 00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:11.160 she is going to use the LA next year. And we were sure of 392 00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:14.400 the best of luck and she was. She came out of fire and all 393 00:27:14.440 --> 00:27:19.279 cylinders and just uh it, just throwing strikes and and doing what she needed 394 00:27:19.279 --> 00:27:22.359 to do for her team. You know, speaking of that, you know 395 00:27:22.400 --> 00:27:26.559 you're going into that game, you know you're facing a picture is going to 396 00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:30.640 be pitching in the Pac twelve. How do you prepare your players for that 397 00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:34.759 to you know, not either not be intimidated or to h you know, 398 00:27:34.839 --> 00:27:38.440 be ready to take on that kind of a challenge. That's a huge challenge. 399 00:27:40.680 --> 00:27:42.039 It is a huge challenge. And so we, you know what, 400 00:27:42.160 --> 00:27:45.680 we did what we could to prepare them mentally and physically. I think that 401 00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:49.599 mentally they were they were excited, they were ready to go. They were 402 00:27:49.799 --> 00:27:52.880 Okay, let's let's get out there, let's win a state championship. Um. 403 00:27:53.359 --> 00:27:56.160 Physically, you know, we had we had the machine up at seventy 404 00:27:56.160 --> 00:28:00.839 miles an hour, just kind of throwing bullets and the end and having them 405 00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:03.920 quickly relaxed, short en up your swing, putting it in play, just 406 00:28:03.039 --> 00:28:07.680 connect with it and and good things will happen. That's funny. I was 407 00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:10.559 just gonna ask you, if you do use a machine and if that's what 408 00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:12.599 I would have done, and they don't see those bullets go by go by 409 00:28:12.680 --> 00:28:17.359 and you eventually catch up to them, and then that's what you eventually found 410 00:28:17.359 --> 00:28:21.880 out in the game. Is that kind of what happened. That is what 411 00:28:21.920 --> 00:28:23.319 happened. It was the first time this year that we brought out the machine 412 00:28:23.319 --> 00:28:29.480 because we rely pretty heavily on front toss and tea work and lots of lots 413 00:28:29.519 --> 00:28:33.839 of you know, swings that way and our pictures through against UM, through 414 00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:37.640 against our team. But but in this case, we needed we needed to 415 00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:41.319 see the speed and we needed to see um just we need to see the 416 00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:48.119 speed. Yeah, see you have some secret souc Yeah, a little bit 417 00:28:48.119 --> 00:28:49.880 of secret software. So it was it was a tight game. It was 418 00:28:51.160 --> 00:28:53.799 a two nothing. When walk us through some of your your thoughts, some 419 00:28:53.920 --> 00:28:57.880 of your angst during that game, how did you know? How did the 420 00:28:57.880 --> 00:29:00.960 game unfold for you? You and uh, you know you get to the 421 00:29:02.039 --> 00:29:07.079 end of your state champions again. I think it was a lot of game 422 00:29:07.079 --> 00:29:10.880 plan and UM and and preparing for that game. We also knew that the 423 00:29:10.920 --> 00:29:15.559 picture was just as a a great hitter is, she is a great pitcher, 424 00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:19.079 so it was important for her to keep her out of the batter's box, 425 00:29:19.240 --> 00:29:26.039 and so we intentionally walked her UM and then UM just making great plays 426 00:29:26.119 --> 00:29:30.480 behind gianna Um when they when they bunted, when they hit groundballs. We 427 00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:33.440 are all our defense just really locked it down and got the out when we 428 00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:38.160 needed them, um and then hitting it was again, you know, put 429 00:29:38.160 --> 00:29:41.359 it in play, Let's let's get let's you know, pull in some short 430 00:29:41.400 --> 00:29:47.960 game, let's connect, let's you know, like put the pressure on the 431 00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:49.960 defense for them to make the plays. And I think that was our game 432 00:29:49.960 --> 00:29:52.759 plan and I think we executed that. Well. What does it say that 433 00:29:53.720 --> 00:29:57.200 great pitcher? No, of course, what does it say about Southern Arizona 434 00:29:57.240 --> 00:30:00.599 softball? Because the Empire played against so you know, you guys ruin the 435 00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:04.759 finals. I'm sure there are a number of other good teams in Southern Arizona. 436 00:30:06.079 --> 00:30:08.799 How how the quality of play has probably arisen, and in part because 437 00:30:08.839 --> 00:30:15.000 of you guys. It's really exciting to be around Southern Arizona softball. It's 438 00:30:15.079 --> 00:30:18.240 you know, if you go out there, you go to a club tournament, 439 00:30:18.519 --> 00:30:21.640 it's electric out there. Those girls are running through walls for each other 440 00:30:21.759 --> 00:30:26.680 and they're just they're just really falling in love with the game. Where does 441 00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:30.720 high school How important does high school softball to to the girls? Because they 442 00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:33.160 play club and you know that, you know, they go to the tournaments 443 00:30:33.160 --> 00:30:36.160 throughout the summer and whatnot, and they know there's people they're looking, you 444 00:30:36.200 --> 00:30:40.960 know, for your colleges looking for players, So how how important are they 445 00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:45.240 seeing uh, you know, high school softball in terms of their futures. 446 00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:48.599 Well, I would hope that did they see it as a place where they 447 00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:52.720 can represent their school where they spend most of their time. I would hope 448 00:30:52.720 --> 00:30:56.160 that, you know, they're I don't know if I don't know if it's 449 00:30:56.240 --> 00:31:00.079 less pressure playing high school than it is club because some of these girls are 450 00:31:00.079 --> 00:31:04.119 competing on those really big club teams where they have lots of pressure with college 451 00:31:04.119 --> 00:31:08.880 coaches coming to see them. But to be able to fill a stadium at 452 00:31:10.680 --> 00:31:14.240 Rita Hill and brand and play a state championship game and do that year after 453 00:31:14.319 --> 00:31:18.359 year is incredibly exciting. And I just I think high school is a place 454 00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:22.599 where it's just really you know, the love of the game comes out, 455 00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:26.079 and hopefully that you know, continues throughout the club ball as well. I 456 00:31:26.079 --> 00:31:29.359 would assume next year is going to look promising as well. A lot of 457 00:31:29.359 --> 00:31:33.319 people return. We do. We do, so we graduated six seniors, 458 00:31:33.519 --> 00:31:38.759 um, we have gossed some great juniors and sophomores and freshmen coming up. 459 00:31:38.839 --> 00:31:45.480 So I'm really excited about what happens next year. Thirty six and O thirty 460 00:31:45.480 --> 00:31:52.200 six and ol no pressure, no pressure, no pressure. And for you, 461 00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:53.839 I'm sure you're happy. I mean, come on, two years in 462 00:31:53.920 --> 00:32:00.160 your two and oh what next? Come on? UM? Well, it's 463 00:32:00.240 --> 00:32:05.160 it's it's very exciting. It's I don't know how to exploit it because it's 464 00:32:05.200 --> 00:32:08.200 just we go out there and UM, gosh, they give they give me 465 00:32:08.279 --> 00:32:12.440 so much energy that when I'm out there, I'm just in my I'm in 466 00:32:12.519 --> 00:32:16.960 my zone and I'm able to just go out there and and help them play 467 00:32:17.000 --> 00:32:20.480 the game that I love, that I grew up on that. Um, 468 00:32:21.640 --> 00:32:25.960 I'm just proud to be part of and um and we'll see what happens next 469 00:32:27.039 --> 00:32:31.000 year, hopefully that that energy continues, that tradition continues, that we girls 470 00:32:31.079 --> 00:32:35.279 running through walls for each other. Well, did a lot of good things 471 00:32:35.240 --> 00:32:38.200 happened at South Point with soccer and softball and basketball. A lot of good 472 00:32:38.200 --> 00:32:42.480 things. So congrats again, Thank you so much, thank you, thank 473 00:32:42.480 --> 00:32:44.920 you so much for calling and having me on. Thank you, coach, 474 00:32:44.960 --> 00:32:47.240 appreciate it. We'll talk to you this time next year. Yeah, it 475 00:32:47.279 --> 00:32:52.799 sounds like a plan. Okay, thank you very much. Well, you 476 00:32:52.799 --> 00:32:54.480 know, I mean, such great softball here in town. You know there 477 00:32:54.480 --> 00:32:57.880 really is that. You know, um, you know I got to go 478 00:32:57.920 --> 00:33:00.759 through that a little bit, you know with my daughter playing high schol sootball 479 00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:02.559 here and you see some really, I mean we saw some you know, 480 00:33:02.559 --> 00:33:06.440 we were in we were in one A and we saw some really good players 481 00:33:06.440 --> 00:33:07.680 at that level. Yeah, you know they're playing you around. I think 482 00:33:07.680 --> 00:33:10.119 a good question to the to the summer league. That's where they get their 483 00:33:10.200 --> 00:33:15.279 chops. Come back confident to high school because it's it's less pressure, it's 484 00:33:15.319 --> 00:33:17.519 it's fun, right, high school level's fun. Yeah, you're already being 485 00:33:17.519 --> 00:33:22.400 seen by people out there. It's totally like a basketball Yeah, you get 486 00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:24.039 seen in the summer, right. You just kind of show off in the 487 00:33:24.119 --> 00:33:28.000 high school and then you go back and play and you hope that when you 488 00:33:28.000 --> 00:33:30.200 go to high school, you go play for your high school team. You're 489 00:33:30.200 --> 00:33:32.319 playing for your team, correct, you know, because school, I'll say, 490 00:33:32.599 --> 00:33:36.279 in club ball, you're playing for yourself. And you see that. 491 00:33:36.319 --> 00:33:38.799 I mean, I mean the girls in within the team compete against each other 492 00:33:39.079 --> 00:33:43.640 because they want to be seen. They want to see the starting first basement 493 00:33:43.720 --> 00:33:46.799 or the starting pitcher or whatever. And uh, you know those teams play 494 00:33:47.079 --> 00:33:51.000 it's a little different. I went through a summer with that with my daughter 495 00:33:51.000 --> 00:33:53.960 as well.

You 557 00:38:14.960 --> 00:38:16.920 know, we were just a couple of guys, well three of us who 558 00:38:17.000 --> 00:38:21.400 sit in here, talk about what's on our mind, stuff that comes up, 559 00:38:22.039 --> 00:38:24.360 well, just shooting the ball. Well every day we say, like 560 00:38:24.400 --> 00:38:27.960 I said, I was with some people yesterday and they listened to and they 561 00:38:27.960 --> 00:38:30.079 said exactly that. The thing that they liked about the show is it's it's 562 00:38:30.199 --> 00:38:35.440 like we're around a table at a bar just talking talking about sports, you 563 00:38:35.480 --> 00:38:37.960 know, with minus the drinks. But we could work on that. Yeah, 564 00:38:38.039 --> 00:38:42.320 yeah, old are you? Oh you got it? It's so easy 565 00:38:42.320 --> 00:38:44.440 and easy. You know. I did in the middle of my of my 566 00:38:44.519 --> 00:38:47.039 round on Saturday, I did a shot of fire ball, and you shot 567 00:38:47.119 --> 00:38:54.400 better. I don't remember you remember taking I did, you know, But 568 00:38:55.440 --> 00:38:59.800 I do know that my first hit after that, I just felt really loose, 569 00:39:00.079 --> 00:39:02.119 felt good. It's very cool. We're gonna do it. I love 570 00:39:02.119 --> 00:39:06.239 fireball. Have you ever had fireball in hot chocolate. No, Oh no, 571 00:39:06.480 --> 00:39:09.599 dude, just a shot a fireball in in a couple of hot chocolate. 572 00:39:10.440 --> 00:39:15.760 It's it's it's the bomb. Anyways, getting to the point of why 573 00:39:15.760 --> 00:39:19.679 I said, because you just never know what we're gonna come up with, 574 00:39:19.800 --> 00:39:22.519 right to talk about it in a given segments during the break? Um, 575 00:39:22.679 --> 00:39:24.679 well, this actually came out a little bit ago, but I came across 576 00:39:24.719 --> 00:39:29.480 it during the break. College Basketball Report, which is does something similar to 577 00:39:29.480 --> 00:39:32.039 what Big Game Boomer does.

Hi, this is down Phoenix. About the 582 00:39:52.920 --> 00:39:57.599 past, all right, didn't hear you mention? Oh yeah, we had 583 00:39:57.599 --> 00:40:02.280 a we had a um uh at the end of uh how Matt Mareno was 584 00:40:02.320 --> 00:40:07.239 on. We talked about the recruiting thing a whole bunch. Okay, I 585 00:40:07.519 --> 00:40:10.880 I only caught from the second. Oh yeah, we had we had Matt 586 00:40:10.920 --> 00:40:15.000 Moreno, you know, yeah, we have we had Matt Marino, the 587 00:40:15.000 --> 00:40:20.119 recruiting guy as a guest because of that, So we actually did talk about 588 00:40:20.199 --> 00:40:22.400 the recruiting and all that kind of stuff. For forbid. I'll be sure 589 00:40:22.400 --> 00:40:25.280 to listen to it on the podcast. It'll get posted on the podcast tonight. 590 00:40:27.280 --> 00:40:30.960 Just think that was a big guest though. That sure sure, let 591 00:40:30.960 --> 00:40:35.039 me ask you, well, let me ask you. I'm sure you follow 592 00:40:35.079 --> 00:40:38.159 Facebook and all the sports or the social media. So where did you land? 593 00:40:38.280 --> 00:40:42.239 Were you still need to be sold on Tommy? Or were you okay? 594 00:40:42.280 --> 00:40:45.760 Were you worried about his recruiting? I was worried about his recruiting absolutely, 595 00:40:45.800 --> 00:40:49.280 because you know, there are a few things it seemed like he would 596 00:40:49.320 --> 00:40:52.199 lock into a player and then you know that one happened and a lot of 597 00:40:52.480 --> 00:40:58.760 uh he kept very much. He's list wanyan uh. And you know, 598 00:40:59.599 --> 00:41:04.199 coming here are these big guys that overall projects like you can't have a team 599 00:41:04.559 --> 00:41:07.599 of all projects or a practice body. I don't care if they're big or 600 00:41:07.639 --> 00:41:13.000 not. You know, so your heart pressures is better? Now, are 601 00:41:13.039 --> 00:41:16.159 you okay? I do feel better actually, because they've got to play. 602 00:41:16.239 --> 00:41:19.800 I mean it's one thing to have, you know, for down two or 603 00:41:19.840 --> 00:41:22.880 three years where you want to have a team next year that's competitive. You 604 00:41:22.920 --> 00:41:25.599 know. I was kind of worried there for a little while. You know, 605 00:41:25.639 --> 00:41:30.079 even I wasn't a big fan of Dibella's, but losing him still a 606 00:41:30.159 --> 00:41:31.440 big deal and they needed, you know, and then they had all the 607 00:41:31.519 --> 00:41:36.440 scenes the seniors they had to replace. So um, I'm yeah, I'm 608 00:41:36.440 --> 00:41:39.800 a little bit happier with the recruiting absolutely recent. But all right, sounds 609 00:41:39.800 --> 00:41:43.840 great. I'll appreciate you call and appreciate you listening. Yeah, we did 610 00:41:43.840 --> 00:41:45.320 have a good conversation about it. So listen to the podcast tonight. Yea, 611 00:41:45.400 --> 00:41:50.280 yeah, listen to the podcast. All right, Um, okay, 612 00:41:50.320 --> 00:41:53.559 back to the top fifty head men's basketball coaches. Okay, where just where 613 00:41:53.599 --> 00:42:00.360 do you think Tommy Lloyd open in the upper half? Just really? Okay, 614 00:42:00.559 --> 00:42:02.599 he's higher, really, yeah, I was better? Who did who 615 00:42:02.639 --> 00:42:07.480 did who? Who did the basketball report? Okay, so I gotta think 616 00:42:07.519 --> 00:42:10.559 about fifteen? Yeah, he's just come on the scene.

I'll tell you a 683 00:47:19.159 --> 00:47:21.840 bunch of guys that I wouldn't take, Okay, that are on this list. 684 00:47:22.199 --> 00:47:24.920 I wouldn't take Calipari, I wouldn't take Bruce Pearl, I wouldn't take 685 00:47:25.000 --> 00:47:30.039 Nate Oates, I wouldn't take Chris Beard. Um. Jim Laraga is pretty 686 00:47:30.039 --> 00:47:32.719 old. He's at seventeen. Nobody's a good coach, but he's a good 687 00:47:32.760 --> 00:47:37.519 coach. Um. I wouldn't take Rick Barnes because he screws up every program 688 00:47:37.519 --> 00:47:39.599 he goes to. He doesn't quite get there. Bob Huggins, I wouldn't 689 00:47:39.599 --> 00:47:46.800 take him. Um, let's see George Huggins twenty something. Huggins is twenty 690 00:47:46.800 --> 00:47:54.280 two. Uh uh. Ed Cooley who just went to George George shoton he's 691 00:47:54.280 --> 00:47:59.519 at twenty four. Penny Hardaways on this, I'm not sure. I wouldn't 692 00:47:59.559 --> 00:48:01.760 have him in the top fifty. Hubert Davis, I wouldn't put him in 693 00:48:01.840 --> 00:48:06.000 the top fifty. He's on the list forty one, but there's run out 694 00:48:06.000 --> 00:48:08.039 of team is fifty. We've got John Schier on here and I don't think 695 00:48:08.079 --> 00:48:15.599 he's done anything to show. And would you get Andy Enfield top thirty forty? 696 00:48:15.760 --> 00:48:17.239 Would you go get him at a no? No, no, no, 697 00:48:19.039 --> 00:48:21.920 he's at thirty seven. How about Dana Altman? Where do you think 698 00:48:21.960 --> 00:48:24.840 he falls? Oh Man? Thirty five? You go get Dana Altman. 699 00:48:27.559 --> 00:48:30.280 That's tough. He's a good coach. I don't know he's thirty five about 700 00:48:30.320 --> 00:48:35.280 there he's at thirty six, thirty six. Who else? So how about 701 00:48:35.360 --> 00:48:42.920 Jowan Howard? No, he's twenty nine, twenty nine? No, Um, 702 00:48:43.119 --> 00:48:46.000 who else is on the list here? Uh? The guy from Creighton, 703 00:48:46.039 --> 00:48:51.519 Greg McDermott. Yes, another good guy, another good coach, Another 704 00:48:51.519 --> 00:48:52.960 good coach, I should a good guy, but good coach. He's nineteen. 705 00:48:53.320 --> 00:48:58.599 Yeah, that's good, that's good number. Yeah. Um, I 706 00:48:58.599 --> 00:49:00.760 don't know I drew him tank at Kansas State. I don't even never even 707 00:49:00.760 --> 00:49:05.079 heard of the guy he was. He was possible the possible coach of the 708 00:49:05.159 --> 00:49:08.920 year this year, right right? So I know you know it's uh, 709 00:49:09.039 --> 00:49:13.719 Leonard Hamilton Florida State. No fact, we have a conversation about him with 710 00:49:13.800 --> 00:49:17.079 TJ today. You know. Um, I'm just who else? I mean, 711 00:49:17.119 --> 00:49:22.079 come on, there's not not very many house state coach Chris Holtman isn't 712 00:49:22.480 --> 00:49:28.519 at forty one. I'm Kevin Willard at Maryland in forty four. Mike Woodson 713 00:49:28.639 --> 00:49:30.719 at Indiana he's at forty six. Couldn't be. Couldn't be the Arizona on 714 00:49:30.760 --> 00:49:37.400 a neutral court. No, h's out our fifty fifty is Todd Golden in 715 00:49:37.519 --> 00:49:40.920 Florida. The Dennis Skates at Missouri is at forty nine. I think I 716 00:49:40.920 --> 00:49:45.719 think you can maybe list ten guys that could could be, you know, 717 00:49:45.760 --> 00:49:49.320 an list. I don't. I don't trust that list. Would you try 718 00:49:49.320 --> 00:49:53.559 and get Scott Drew at Baylor? Maybe he's a number four? Calvin Samson 719 00:49:53.639 --> 00:49:55.320 is just too old. You don't want to bring an old guy. Yeah, 720 00:49:55.360 --> 00:49:58.480 but he's but you know he's a really good cop. Yeah, and 721 00:49:59.559 --> 00:50:01.480 very lack guy. The whole bit a little bit, got a little bit 722 00:50:01.480 --> 00:50:07.119 of baggage. But uh uh, be sure. I wouldn't go after Calipari 723 00:50:07.159 --> 00:50:10.199 Patino, No, although they're Patino's a better coach Calipari. Let mean, 724 00:50:10.239 --> 00:50:14.800 come on, you don't go where you got where he's gone and not do 725 00:50:14.960 --> 00:50:17.880 well. Right, that doesn't happen by accident. Yeah again, Tom Tom 726 00:50:19.440 --> 00:50:22.079 issels at five. I think that's high right now. I think he's on 727 00:50:22.119 --> 00:50:25.280 the down. He's on the way and in the other direction. Well, 728 00:50:25.960 --> 00:50:30.119 when you when you still got to the final four, we could point to 729 00:50:30.159 --> 00:50:32.119 the exact time when they went to the final four, you know what I'm 730 00:50:32.159 --> 00:50:36.880 talking about exactly got on his player going up up to the tunnel and that 731 00:50:36.960 --> 00:50:38.199 was that was it, and they had a twelve point lead. Yeah, 732 00:50:39.679 --> 00:50:43.000 all right, Uh, we're about to get out of here. Um, 733 00:50:43.039 --> 00:50:47.559 Arizona is not going to get into the final eight of the NCAA tournament. 734 00:50:47.559 --> 00:50:52.760 There plus twelve right now, Pepperdine is plus nine. Arizona is just just 735 00:50:52.920 --> 00:50:57.400 about out of holes they've got. Uh no, I think they're done. 736 00:50:57.360 --> 00:51:01.400 It looks like they're finished at twelve over. They finished in tenth place in 737 00:51:01.599 --> 00:51:07.519 uh in the out of twelve, no, out of eighteen, well there 738 00:51:07.519 --> 00:51:13.559 were there were, um, fifteen left in this round. They had to 739 00:51:13.559 --> 00:51:15.440 advance to this round. They got to the top fifteen. They need to 740 00:51:15.440 --> 00:51:19.800 get to the top eight after the day to make it to the to the 741 00:51:19.800 --> 00:51:23.000 bracket, the match play bracket. Um, and they didn't get there. 742 00:51:23.559 --> 00:51:28.960 It's going to be Stanford, Wake Forest, Texas, South Carolina, USC, 743 00:51:29.760 --> 00:51:32.000 Florida State, Texas A and M. And it looks like and that's 744 00:51:32.039 --> 00:51:37.559 it. That's the top. Okay, this was the final they were okay, 745 00:51:36.880 --> 00:51:39.000 yeah, these not for these reasons, right, you know, these 746 00:51:39.039 --> 00:51:45.719 eight go into a bracket and play match play. Uh and starting tomorrow. 747 00:51:45.519 --> 00:51:50.000 So they did that kind of almost drops up the UA season, right. 748 00:51:50.079 --> 00:51:53.400 Yeah. While baseball's got the pack and the tracks, tracks, you know 749 00:51:53.480 --> 00:51:59.840 tracks at the NCAA Championships starting this guys couldn't want Jordan guys out there. 750 00:52:00.079 --> 00:52:02.039 Uh okay, and so anyway, so there you go. All right. 751 00:52:02.360 --> 00:52:07.360 Um. I kind of like the ranking though. I think Tommy Lloyd's about 752 00:52:07.360 --> 00:52:09.000 where you would think he ought to be, maybe a little high. I 753 00:52:09.000 --> 00:52:12.800 think I think he is a top twenty coach right now. Brian Dutcher, 754 00:52:12.840 --> 00:52:15.320 the San Diege State coach at number twenty, So maybe that's a guy you 755 00:52:15.360 --> 00:52:19.400 go get if you need a coach, who's Brian Dutcher at San Diego State. 756 00:52:20.119 --> 00:52:22.679 That's another one, right, it's another one. Yeah, that doesn't 757 00:52:22.679 --> 00:52:24.480 happen by accident. All right, Thanks everybody for being here, Thanks Nico 758 00:52:24.559 --> 00:52:30.079 for the for the bee bomb, and uh and we'll be back tomorrow. 759 00:52:30.199 --> 00:52:31.039 Thanks for being here.
