Steve Rivera and Jay Gonzalez. They

2
00:00:06.519 --> 00:00:12.519
Sports A yet Fox Sports fourteen fifty
streaming live on the iHeart Radio app.

3
00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:15.880
Hey, welcome back to win the
ball general Fox Sports fourteen fifty. Oh

4
00:00:15.919 --> 00:00:20.719
Steve, you're Jay, and now
we have Henry was breaking news his eye

5
00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:26.399
on the ball, breaking news on
Fox Sports fourteen to fifty. Next season

6
00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:30.960
will officially be the last season of
the NBA on TNP, as the NBA

7
00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:36.000
has signed an eleven year deal with
Disney, NBC and Amazon Prime to broadcast

8
00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:41.240
the games. Did so t Well, I'm just reading the statement by TNT

9
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:47.560
who thinks that Wait a minute,
here's here's a statement, because they think

10
00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:51.759
that they because they've matched the They're
saying they've matched the Amazon offer so that

11
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:56.719
contractually they should be able to get
what Amazon is allegedly getting. Here's their

12
00:00:56.759 --> 00:01:00.799
statement, we have matched Amazon offer
as we have a contract right to do,

13
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:03.640
and do not believe the NBA can
reject it, and doing so,

14
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:06.879
they are rejecting the many fans who
can do yeah all this stuff like we're

15
00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:08.799
great, yeah yeah, but basically
saying they say, we think they have

16
00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:14.840
grossly misinterpreted our contractual rights with respect
to the twenty twenty five twenty twenty sixth

17
00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:19.280
season and beyond it. We will
take appropriate action, probably sue. We

18
00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:23.359
look forward, however, to another
great season of the NBA on TNT and

19
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:29.359
Max including our are iconic inside the
NBA. So they're saying that whatever Amazon

20
00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:33.519
is getting that TNT should be able
to get that. Yeah. Well,

21
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:37.400
if that's the case, Charles,
that's a bad marriage. Yeah, they're

22
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:41.200
they're they're fighting, Charles, and
in a separate room, Charles is you

23
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:44.719
know, the disgruntled kid who doesn't
want to you know, he wants to

24
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:47.359
stay, but he doesn't want to
stay in Yeah, talking crap about the

25
00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:49.400
parents. So I'm that's funny because
I just read this. I said,

26
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:52.560
Oh, it looks like TNT is
staying no. No, they're not so

27
00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:57.640
responding. They're responding to this contract
that allegedly has been signed. Ah.

28
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:01.120
Interesting. You know what from these
big companies get do this and guess who

29
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:06.879
makes all the money The lawyers.
Oh yeah, of course the lawyers.

30
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:09.919
Well no, because they usually have
their own lawyers. But anyways, interesting

31
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:15.000
stuff, Okay, cool. Red
Sox manager Alex Korra has agreed on a

32
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:21.599
three year contract extension for twenty one
million dollars with the team. He's still

33
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:27.599
the big cheater. But okay,
the Red Sox, you said, Yeah,

34
00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:29.560
okay, that's why something. They
got their butt hat on to him

35
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:36.680
today. Now the Dodgers swept him. Okay, all right, we're putting

36
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:42.120
a little limit to the Dodger talk. You didn't get the memo. Ellie

37
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:45.800
de la Cruz stole his fiftieth base
of the season today, and he has

38
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:50.120
nineteen more stone bases than any other
player in the MLB. Yeah, he's

39
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:53.840
a gazelle a yard today too.
He's just he's doing all kinds of crazy

40
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:58.759
stuff. Yeah, he's he's a
different player. There aren't other players like

41
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:01.159
who I mean, just like there's
no other players like show him well in

42
00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:05.039
a different way. I was gonna
throw those names at you. Top top

43
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:12.000
five players today, showy show Hey
Dela Cruz, Judge, Aaron Judge,

44
00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:19.039
Paul Skeins. What about the Kansas
City short stop Bobby with Jr. Yeah,

45
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:22.439
yeah, what about you gotta hit
the home runs you Oscar? Yeah,

46
00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:23.919
No, he's a good he's a
really good player. He's just hot

47
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:30.039
right now. Who else just you
know, you show show he's a different

48
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:32.680
player. What are you things about
him that are different? Aaron Judges missing

49
00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:39.240
Sodo, Mookie bets and he's a
good spot Mookie who can play shortstop,

50
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:43.360
second base, the outfield, hit
for power, steel bases, YadA,

51
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:47.280
YadA. And then he's got a
broken hand. But still Aaron Rodgers was

52
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:53.039
fine for missing two day mini camp
last month as he was in Egypt on

53
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:57.560
vacation. He was in one of
those holes that he does therapy, doing

54
00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:03.560
the psychedelic academics stuff. He's crazy, he does this purpose. How did

55
00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:06.719
he get so weird because he wasn't
weird like that? Well, because you're

56
00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:10.400
not. When you're young, you're
happy to be there. He he he.

57
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:13.840
I remember he won that Super Bowl
and I thought, what a great

58
00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:15.079
guy. You know, he's the
kind of guy that you want to win

59
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:18.399
a super Bowl. He went on
Letterman and he was really funny, and

60
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:24.079
he's and then he just got whack. He's just kind of the smartest guy.

61
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:29.399
Bad Water in Green Bay or you
know, psychedelics man going into the

62
00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:30.920
forest over there. No Love is
doing the same thing. What's it up

63
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:35.399
with the quarterbacks up in Green Bay? Of themselves? Jordan Love hasn't done

64
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:41.759
squat and he's holding out and thinks
he should be the highest quarterback. Right.

65
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:46.120
It's like far but you know far, but now rogers are now Love

66
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:53.959
Jordan Love a fifty million dollar quarterback. Come on, no, all right,

67
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:59.639
come on. The Olympic men's soccer
started today and France defeated US.

68
00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:05.639
A read don't know did you see
uh soccer? Was it the girls with

69
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:11.839
the with the the Canada thing with
the drone? I guess the I guess

70
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:15.879
the Canada was getting ready to pay
somebody Austria, Australia or somebody, and

71
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:19.360
they were spying with them with spine
on them, with unusual drones with drones.

72
00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:25.360
So they had they fired the Canadian
coaches or they quit because they were

73
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:29.319
they were finding out stuff about their
their game plan or something. If you

74
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:32.120
if you, if you google,
you wait the Canada coaches being spied on

75
00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:35.879
the Canada. They were spying on
the other team. Canada was spying on

76
00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:40.680
New Zealand with the drones, and
they the peer saying, well, that's

77
00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:43.360
weird, what do the drones doing
up here? So they did an investigation

78
00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:47.079
found out it was the Canada in
Canada and they fired their coaches. Well

79
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:50.600
that and and then then the equestrian
stuff. There's a lot of things going

80
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:57.000
on before the actual event, you
know, there's I don't got to go

81
00:05:57.079 --> 00:06:00.279
through. There's a funny conversation that
I heard today about about Michigan and their

82
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:05.199
their cheating thing from last year,
and it was a point that I hadn't

83
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:11.399
thought of. The fact. Think
about the fact that had that not come

84
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:14.879
out, you know, all the
you know, the spying stuff, had

85
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:18.040
that not come out until after the
season was over, after Michigan had won

86
00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:21.519
the national championship, how different it
would have been, and how different people

87
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:27.680
had thought about the Michigan Championship because
they would have thought, you want it

88
00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:30.240
because of that, Whereas because it
came out when it did, and then

89
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:34.040
they still won all those games when
they allegedly weren't cheating anymore, that people

90
00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:39.439
feel that the championship was way more
legitimate than they would have felt if it

91
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:41.959
would have come out afterwards. People
would have thought, oh, you want

92
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:45.720
it because you cheated, whereas they
can say, look, okay, we

93
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:47.480
got caught, we didn't cheat anymore, and we still won the thing.

94
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:51.439
So there's no uh, what do
you call an asterisk or whatever on the

95
00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:54.800
championship. I thought it was a
very interesting point that I thought of.

96
00:06:54.920 --> 00:07:00.160
All Right. The WNBA announced a
new eleven year media deal today with Disney,

97
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:05.600
Amazon Prime in NBC for around two
point two billion dollars. The Caitlin

98
00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:10.800
Clark effect, man, you know, eleven years, she's gonna hold up.

99
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:15.120
I guess it'll hold up until she's
well, you'd like to think somebody

100
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:16.560
else. You know, they're already
talking about this Page Becker's you know,

101
00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:21.079
a girl from from Yukon that Arizona
actually played against several years ago. That

102
00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:25.560
she's like, she's the one that's
gonna get all the attention this year,

103
00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:30.199
the whole Caitlyn Clark uh treatment this
year. And she would have lested,

104
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:32.079
but she got her. She got
hurt, right right, That's all I

105
00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:38.800
got. All Right, got a
couple more so. Uh. The n

106
00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:44.759
C Double A Committee no n C
double A coming out of this lawsuit,

107
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:46.399
you know, the House versus n
C double A. Because one of the

108
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:50.000
issues that they've been talking about was
roster limits, and so it looks like

109
00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:56.800
they're going to propose a roster limit
of one oh five one hundred and five,

110
00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:03.199
uh from one hundred and twenty,
which includes walk ons and stuff like

111
00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:07.360
that, but that you'll be able
to give as many scholarships as you want.

112
00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:13.680
It's so increasing the eighty five player
scholarship two one hundred, and you

113
00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:16.920
can do one hundred and five or
however manue you want, you want to

114
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:20.839
keep doing eighty five or whatever,
but that that the scholarship limit will go

115
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:22.920
to the one oh five, but
the roster limit will drop to one oh

116
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:28.319
five, and that that's expected to
be uh expected to pass. So I

117
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:31.920
don't see how any universe is going
to be well, not any smaller.

118
00:08:31.440 --> 00:08:37.200
And then in baseball, where the
scholarship limit had been eleven point seven,

119
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:43.879
that the roster and scholarship limit will
now be thirty four. So again you

120
00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:46.559
know, they're kind of getting rid
of the walk ons, is what they're

121
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:48.159
doing. Everybody's going to get a
scholarship, but now are you going to

122
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:52.240
you know, you're you're not going
to have or maybe you just say,

123
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:54.360
okay, we're gonna you know,
you can walk on. We're not giving

124
00:08:54.360 --> 00:09:01.320
you a scholarship, and they or
give them a partial Baseball does that they

125
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:03.240
can give as many scholarships as they
want. You know, people down at

126
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:07.279
the end of the roster, you
know they might be getting something, whereas

127
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:11.200
well, you saw that Arizona men's
basketball is only gonna have eleven scholarships on

128
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:16.000
their roster this year because that's just
how we want it. And everyone talks

129
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:20.679
about depth. I don't really coach
as I used depth. You know,

130
00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:24.759
Sean didn't, Lout, didn't,
Tommy doesn't. Yeah, and you saw

131
00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:28.960
my story. I start posting something
on my Facebook page. If anybody's a

132
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:33.159
friend of mine and looks at it, Uh, Philip were reaching it.

133
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:35.000
Uh ended up at you Max Sell. We've talked about that, right,

134
00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:41.519
and he was a little candid about
his situation here. Yeah, so let

135
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:45.200
me get the quote up in my
up in my thing. He you know,

136
00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:48.080
he loves it there. They're gonna
give him free reign because that's what

137
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:50.759
he wanted. He wants to shoot
and he'll be able to shoot there because

138
00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:54.960
they need somebody like him. And
here was the quote I posted, just

139
00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:58.559
end the story. Actually at Arizona
and here there's a lot of talented players

140
00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:03.799
and just hard sometimes, you know. Uh, I felt differently. I

141
00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:09.399
felt I definitely could have played at
Arizona. But that's a coach's decision and

142
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:13.320
he's paid for that. That's pretty
much it. There you go, and

143
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:16.720
you could tell, well, he
was my breakout guy that we both thought

144
00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:18.159
he was. You know, he
won the three point shooting contest. You

145
00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:22.919
saw that he has a lot of
talent and who's the other guys? And

146
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:26.000
you saw that he could have played
too, but there's only a certain amount

147
00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:28.480
of time that you could play.
And well, again you look at the

148
00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:33.600
roster, who is he gonna play
ahead of exact there are some deficiencies,

149
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:37.840
defensive positions, deficions. So you
know, he's I think he's gonna have

150
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:41.519
a fantastic career because they're gonna let
him do what he wants to do.

151
00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:45.759
Here not so much, you know, yeah, I hear you. Yeah.

152
00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:46.960
There was also, Oh, Henry, let me ask you a question,

153
00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:54.080
how old your dad? So kind
of our wheelhouse? Do we sound

154
00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:58.679
like gold dudes to a young dude
like you because we complain and we you

155
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:01.360
know, get and you know you're
just say older, but I wouldn't say

156
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:05.559
okay. So when your dad talks
about stuff like this, do you say,

157
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:11.559
like, dad, shut up?
Yeah? I see, so you

158
00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:16.399
kinda do right because you're your dad
will be cooler when you're thirty. Yeah,

159
00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:18.559
but you know what, that's why
because we sound at least when I

160
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:22.840
was talking about bitching about this and
says, I wonder what Henry thinks about

161
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:26.919
it, he says, God,
give me this internship out of here is

162
00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:31.039
like being in the room with my
dad. I mean, he was complaining

163
00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:35.440
to me today about Lebron holding the
flag. He thinks some other athletes should

164
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:39.919
do it because someone less known so
but that was the reasoning, Yeah,

165
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:43.440
to give them the honor. Right, Yeah, that's kind of that's a

166
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:50.240
jet Henry. Mister, Henry,
give us a call, Dad, Henry,

167
00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:52.080
Dad, Henry. Yeah, I
just want to because because we sound

168
00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:56.399
like we're just kind of old dudes
talking about stupid stuff. All right,

169
00:11:56.440 --> 00:11:58.799
here's the one that Steve Arizona's gonna
go to a Rose Bowl and soon.

170
00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:05.279
Oh there's a trick to this,
there is. The Rose Bowl has requested

171
00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:11.840
and to be left out of the
semi final rotation for the college football playoffs.

172
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:16.720
They just want to be a quarterfinal
game played on January one, you

173
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:20.159
know, because they're six bowls right
the new year six are rotating and they

174
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:24.679
get their turn as being a semi
final. They want to They just want

175
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:26.720
to have their game on January one. Stay. They want to stay with

176
00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:30.480
their game on January one. They
want to stick to the tradition. So

177
00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:33.679
if they're a quarterfinal game every year, all Arizona's got to do is win

178
00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:37.919
the Big Twelve and they could get
into they could be in a quarterfinal game

179
00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:41.879
in the Rose Bowl. That's a
better shot than they've had for the last

180
00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:46.399
thirty years. All I have to
do is get Christy Brickley to call me.

181
00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:56.279
All I need to do simple the
the what's this guy? He's the

182
00:12:56.879 --> 00:13:01.159
what's his name? Laura? Oh, her name Laura Farber, she's a

183
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:05.559
Rose Bowl Management committee chair just said, quote, we prefer to have a

184
00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:09.799
game on January one. You want
to stay who we are. Yees,

185
00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:13.720
they'll be flexible about their starting time, which has been two o'clock, you

186
00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:20.600
know, for the sunset and all
that kind of stuff. But that Rich

187
00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:24.799
Clark, the CFP executive doctor,
said the big pieces are done, but

188
00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:28.120
there's still some finer details to be
worked out. But it looks like the

189
00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:31.840
Rose Bowl will just always be a
quarterfinal game that'll be played on January one,

190
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:37.279
which means Arizona, Arizona's chances of
getting in the Rose Bowl are better

191
00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:41.759
than ever. All I saw her, do you say there was YadA YadA,

192
00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:45.600
YadA YadA. And I can touch
it. I can touch it.

193
00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:48.879
I can touch it. Maybe I
can't. It's right there, stee,

194
00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:54.080
it's right there, touching. I
can feel it. I've been sixty five

195
00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:58.440
years. I can feel You're the
old lady on Titanic is eighty four years.

196
00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:00.639
I can feel it. Okay,
last one, because we've got a

197
00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:01.960
minute, so we got let's get
this one. Okay. If I were

198
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:09.679
to tell you that you could buy
Babe Ruth's jersey that he was wearing allegedly

199
00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:16.159
wearing during his called shot, which
there's even a debate whether he was calling

200
00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:18.840
the shot, how much would you
be willing to pay for that? It's

201
00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:24.039
up for auction right now? What's
what's the price? You throw a number?

202
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:30.360
Thirteen point two million? Yeah?
Yeah, what do I know?

203
00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:33.080
And and it's it's there's still be
there's still bating on it, and there's

204
00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:39.320
still and and there have been a
couple of a couple of places that have

205
00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:43.840
verified, but there's one very respected
company that does that verification that said it's

206
00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:48.960
not a match, such a baiting. It's still thirteen points. Save your

207
00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:50.600
money. And what's the point where
you gonna put that? I don't know.

208

Man, You're not gonna hang it

one of the great guys, a
friend of the show, Hawaii coach.

270
00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:17.680
I'm doing fun. You've been all
over the place and just recently or recently

271
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:21.720
in Vegas, see you guys.
Steve Kerr, how was that? Well,

272
00:19:21.799 --> 00:19:25.440
it was nice. It was nice. He invited me up to watch

273
00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:30.960
the USA team practice and and so
I was there the first couple of days,

274
00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:37.200
and it's you know, I've had
the experience of being a USA coach

275
00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:45.319
years ago and knowing Steve and knowing
the staff and so forth. It was

276
00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:49.559
just fun to watch because there's so
much talent. Let me ask you something,

277
00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:53.000
because you know, when you when
you see the career that he's had

278
00:19:53.400 --> 00:19:56.319
both as a player and then now
as a coach. And I's a coaching

279
00:19:56.640 --> 00:20:00.359
the Olympic team. When you were
coaching he was like, you know,

280
00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:03.359
a little you know, wet behind
the years kind of kid. When you

281
00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:07.200
when you got to deal with him
over here at Arizona, did you see

282
00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:11.200
something that made you think, you
know, he's going to be really good

283
00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:18.000
at all these things? Was there
anything that you could sense then to what

284
00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:26.920
to where he's gotten today? You
mean with having eight rings being a definite

285
00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:33.319
Hall of Famer, Uh, definitely
not. But the success he's had,

286
00:20:33.400 --> 00:20:40.839
I mean, I mean, look
at what he's accomplished is staggering. And

287
00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:45.799
uh yeah, I mean you talk
about a guy that they're not many like

288
00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:49.759
him, where there's no one like
him, and so yeah, I I

289
00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:53.599
we you know you could. You
didn't know that at the time, but

290
00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:57.400
he's always been kind of a special
guy. Well. The funny thing is,

291
00:20:57.559 --> 00:21:00.440
and I've said this a number of
times on this show and in the

292
00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:03.640
books I've written, Harvey Harvey Mason
says, part of the success of the

293
00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:07.160
teams back in the day was they
played their ass off, not only for

294
00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:11.720
Loot, but they didn't want to
disappoint Lut and they didn't want to disappoint

295
00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:18.960
Steve. That's interesting, That's that's
an interesting call. Steve just he was

296
00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:23.920
kind of this natural leader and he
was, yeah, he was. But

297
00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:29.599
you know when his first few years
he was a you know, he was

298
00:21:29.599 --> 00:21:33.400
a good shooter and that kind of
thing. But it wasn't until that and

299
00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:37.119
and again I talked about this a
lot when he blew out his knee on

300
00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:41.960
that USA team I was part of, and and the doc told him he

301
00:21:42.200 --> 00:21:48.000
may never play again. And then
he came back that that his red shirt

302
00:21:48.200 --> 00:21:56.640
senior year. He was just really
mature and uh and he was Ludelson's perfect

303
00:21:56.720 --> 00:22:02.319
type player. He was a perfect
player for Loodoles and style system. You

304
00:22:02.359 --> 00:22:11.039
know what's interesting is that, So
I'm up there watching practice and mood always

305
00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:15.920
had the first fifteen minutes of practice
going through you know, these various drills

306
00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:22.599
and pivots and different things, three
lines at the end of the court,

307
00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:30.160
getting up and down the court slowly
and going through these different things. Well

308
00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:37.119
guess what they did at the practice
that I was watching. Steve still does

309
00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:42.359
those on each of his practices that
goes three lines and the players going through

310
00:22:42.839 --> 00:22:48.400
different change of directions and pivots and
things like that. And it's really interesting

311
00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:52.000
to see that. Well it would
because you know, these guys can do

312
00:22:52.039 --> 00:22:56.839
this stuff in their sleep, right, but yet he feels that it's important

313
00:22:56.960 --> 00:23:02.880
to still have them do that.
It's an interesting approach. Uh And and

314
00:23:02.960 --> 00:23:07.519
I guess it works, right,
I agree. I mean, yeah,

315
00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:11.440
it's worked on on all levels.
Uh. You know, I don't know

316
00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:18.559
what Popovich did and and some of
these other coaches that he had coached with,

317
00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:23.400
but he still has some of that
Loodolfsen Uh you know, the what

318
00:23:23.720 --> 00:23:30.079
the whatever lot Loot had which I
used when I was coaching and and so

319
00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:33.039
forth. So it was really a
special thing. So I won't ask you

320
00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:37.200
how old you are, but I
know you're older than me and maybe Jay's

321
00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:41.240
age. But for someone like you, do you even get giddy when you're

322
00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:45.000
out watching them? Or what's your
thoughts when you're going to watch them?

323
00:23:47.960 --> 00:23:56.480
Watch? Watch watch cool guys.
Here's here's I'm I'm a Steve, my

324
00:23:56.599 --> 00:24:03.119
biggest supporter, and I'm want to
support Steve again because of recruiting him.

325
00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:07.039
And like I said, I was
there the first one to his room the

326
00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:11.599
night his father was assassinated, and
I was to carry him off the floor

327
00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:15.000
in Madrid when he blew out his
knee. So I've kind of been there

328
00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:21.440
various times. The thing that I
view this team, this team has so

329
00:24:21.559 --> 00:24:26.839
much talent, and everybody looks at
the team like, Okay, you know

330
00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:30.920
what, They're just going to waltz
in and blow everybody away. And I

331
00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:37.640
just think there's a whole lot of
pressure. And I feel for Steve because

332
00:24:38.640 --> 00:24:42.039
he's going to be the coach of
a team that's supposed to be the gold

333
00:24:42.119 --> 00:24:45.680
medal and if they win, well
you're supposed to win. If they don't,

334
00:24:47.079 --> 00:24:51.759
everybody's going to blame him, right, And so that that's what I

335
00:24:51.920 --> 00:24:57.119
see when I'm out there watching this
practice. I thought Lebron was excellent.

336
00:24:57.400 --> 00:25:03.319
He was being a real leader,
but and I think you have all these

337
00:25:03.319 --> 00:25:08.240
egos, Steve and his staff have
to manage those right, and the chemistry

338
00:25:08.880 --> 00:25:14.680
is going to be so important.
But there's so many things that Steve they

339
00:25:14.720 --> 00:25:18.920
have to handle. Like he's kind
of trying to coach the referees how to

340
00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:26.920
be like international referees because these referees
have not been NBA referees. They're international

341
00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:32.880
referees, so they're going to call
things a little bit different and having where

342
00:25:32.920 --> 00:25:37.759
the guys have to be able to
accommodate to that, both mentally and ego

343
00:25:37.799 --> 00:25:41.880
wise, so they're just a lot
of different things. Is the is the

344
00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:47.359
international game still like what it was
back when you were with that World championship?

345
00:25:47.519 --> 00:25:51.160
I know this thirty years ago,
forty years ago almost, but has

346
00:25:51.200 --> 00:25:53.839
the is the game still kind of
the same or has it changed? Here's

347
00:25:55.039 --> 00:26:03.920
here's here's my views on this is
that I think international game is because all

348
00:26:03.960 --> 00:26:10.440
these international teams and these players,
these players have grown up playing soccer and

349
00:26:10.559 --> 00:26:15.880
so internationally, these guys, you
know, we're taught at a young age

350
00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:22.559
soccer and soccer is basically, you
know, moving without the ball, playing

351
00:26:22.599 --> 00:26:29.039
as a team. One guy can't
win in soccer. You've got to have

352
00:26:29.079 --> 00:26:33.640
a strong team. So you've got
to make your teammates better. And I

353
00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:40.720
think international teams that's their foundation is
playing like that. I think American basketball

354
00:26:40.799 --> 00:26:45.160
has unfortunately gotten to where it's one
on one, you give me the ball,

355
00:26:45.319 --> 00:26:52.039
I'll make some moves and I'll take
I'll take it from here type basketball,

356
00:26:52.079 --> 00:26:56.200
individual basketball, and I think that's
where the difference. In answer to

357
00:26:56.240 --> 00:27:03.839
your question, that's where the difference
is that the American teams have to play

358
00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:08.119
really good defense and have to play
together, and I think that's one of

359
00:27:08.240 --> 00:27:14.359
the biggest challenges is you got all
these guys out there, and you know

360
00:27:14.400 --> 00:27:21.559
what, they got to meld together
and play together. And that's the part

361
00:27:21.599 --> 00:27:26.559
that's not easy to do in a
three week span. So in nineteen ninety

362
00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:29.319
I don't know where you were,
probably of coaching in Rice or somewhere,

363
00:27:29.599 --> 00:27:34.319
but I remember going to a thing
in Phoenix with coaches. Talked to Lude,

364
00:27:34.400 --> 00:27:38.200
talked to the Cincinnati coach. I've
mentioned this a few times on the

365
00:27:38.200 --> 00:27:45.440
show Who Got Fired at West Virginia
Huggin Huggins, those guys, thank you

366
00:27:45.440 --> 00:27:48.359
guys, and they were and you
might have been part of this, going

367
00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:52.440
to overseas to Europe, coaching the
guys up in Europe and teaching them how

368
00:27:52.440 --> 00:27:57.680
to play basketball, and look what
they've created. Yeah. No, but

369
00:27:59.119 --> 00:28:07.039
I think I think television and I
again, since since that time, shoot,

370
00:28:07.119 --> 00:28:11.039
and I go all the way back
to the seventy two Olympics, when

371
00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:14.960
all of a sudden, people will
start saying, you know what, we've

372
00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:19.359
got to start playing our professional teams
are professional players. And it didn't happen

373
00:28:19.400 --> 00:28:27.440
untill ninety two, but as our
television and there was so it went around

374
00:28:27.519 --> 00:28:33.240
the world and then these tours,
just like you're talking about Steve, where

375
00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:37.799
the coaches were going out and doing
clinics and teaching and so forth around the

376
00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:42.920
world. The whole world started getting
better and better, and and then these

377
00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:49.480
players started getting are really really good. There's some kind of story I saw

378
00:28:49.519 --> 00:28:55.160
today. Back in ninety two,
there were there may have been I'm going

379
00:28:55.240 --> 00:28:59.519
to throw a number at you,
ten, ten or twelve NBA players from

380
00:28:59.640 --> 00:29:02.640
from overs back in the day with
Dream Team, right, so they had

381
00:29:02.680 --> 00:29:07.319
no really big competition although they were
really good. Now there's like under sixty

382
00:29:07.920 --> 00:29:11.640
Europeans in the NBA, so that
the times have changed. Yeah, and

383
00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:15.839
it's gonna get and it's gonna get
better and better. I mean, it's

384
00:29:15.880 --> 00:29:21.279
gonna get more and more again because
these players come and they play well together,

385
00:29:21.640 --> 00:29:26.440
and they're it's a different and they're
not just one on one players,

386
00:29:26.759 --> 00:29:30.039
and so it's a I mean,
you're exactly right. I mean, the

387
00:29:30.200 --> 00:29:36.160
NBA is gonna change because it's a
worldwide game. Yeah, and and and

388
00:29:36.200 --> 00:29:40.000
it has I mean, as much
as we want to think that you know,

389
00:29:40.119 --> 00:29:44.119
this team that's that Steve kurrz got
has got, you know, should

390
00:29:44.119 --> 00:29:48.200
win the gold medal, that they've
got everybody's got NBA players now and it

391
00:29:48.359 --> 00:29:51.559
and it's you know, look,
I'm usually in France, right They've got

392
00:29:51.920 --> 00:29:55.000
Victor Web and Yama, Rudy Gobert
and I don't know who else. You

393
00:29:55.079 --> 00:29:57.319
know, Australia is good, Canada
is good. All these teams are so

394
00:29:57.519 --> 00:30:04.039
good. I think we need to
temper ourselves, don't you think? I

395
00:30:04.160 --> 00:30:07.759
think so too. But the thing, and I know Steve is good,

396
00:30:07.880 --> 00:30:14.440
is we used to be able to
have down games and still win, right,

397
00:30:15.359 --> 00:30:18.759
she used to have off games and
still win. You can't do that

398
00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:23.880
anymore. And and that's the part
that's the dangerous thing, because if you

399
00:30:25.000 --> 00:30:29.799
don't come ready to play, and
you don't have guys playing together. And

400
00:30:29.920 --> 00:30:33.680
again, I look at Steve's situation, and you know he's trying to decide,

401
00:30:33.680 --> 00:30:37.119
Okay, am I gonna substitute or
am I gonna play platoon system,

402
00:30:38.160 --> 00:30:42.799
you know where you play your five
and then the new five comes in and

403
00:30:44.400 --> 00:30:49.279
and things like that. All those
things are gonna it's gonna it's just gonna

404
00:30:49.319 --> 00:30:53.599
be really interesting to see how how
he's going to be able to do that.

405
00:30:55.799 --> 00:30:57.519
Yeah, yeah, no question.
In fact, they've struggled a little,

406
00:30:57.559 --> 00:31:02.680
at least by our naked over the
last week or so. It's funny

407
00:31:02.759 --> 00:31:04.440
we had Steve on maybe six or
seven weeks ago, maybe in two months

408
00:31:04.440 --> 00:31:07.680
ago. I joked with him,
you know, I've always wanted to be

409
00:31:07.759 --> 00:31:10.359
Steve Kirk for a weekend. And
then I said to myself, No,

410
00:31:10.799 --> 00:31:12.920
that's a lot of best to deal
with with, you know, Draymond and

411
00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:17.920
all the other guys, and now
this because every decision you make is probably

412
00:31:17.960 --> 00:31:22.559
the wrong one. Well, you
know, when you're at that level he

413
00:31:22.799 --> 00:31:27.759
is, yes, I mean,
he's so well respected, but he's supposed

414
00:31:27.799 --> 00:31:33.559
to make these you know, just
magically make all these right decisions. But

415
00:31:33.759 --> 00:31:37.960
you were right. How would you
like to manage Draymond? I mean I

416
00:31:38.200 --> 00:31:47.440
was at the Scenic Sun's game the
last December when Draymond got kicked out for

417
00:31:47.640 --> 00:31:51.599
throwing that elbow or whatever. After
the game, I talked with Steve and

418
00:31:52.599 --> 00:31:56.440
and he was saying, hey,
you know what, it's a great day.

419
00:31:56.359 --> 00:32:00.079
You know, I'm a coach in
the NBA, and just trying to

420
00:32:00.680 --> 00:32:07.680
be as positive and as he could
be and so forth, in a difficult

421
00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:12.640
situation. I know, and so
and not. You know, Steve's one

422
00:32:12.680 --> 00:32:15.920
of those you just learned not to
make too big of a situation out of

423
00:32:16.000 --> 00:32:24.440
anything, right, except that he
talked about them disco disco, turn off

424
00:32:24.519 --> 00:32:30.160
that music. I love love real
quick. We've been talking about this for

425
00:32:30.279 --> 00:32:34.400
a while, this whole ninety minutes
of the show. Tell him about the

426
00:32:34.400 --> 00:32:38.279
Stoops things. Yeah, so Scott
so Mark Stoops. Uh. He's coach

427
00:32:38.319 --> 00:32:42.880
at Kentucky, coached assistant coach here
for a number of years with his brother

428
00:32:43.000 --> 00:32:47.559
Mike. He was complaining at SEC
media day today, but how hard it

429
00:32:47.720 --> 00:32:51.240
is, and it's tough, and
all I do is have to raise money.

430
00:32:51.640 --> 00:32:55.599
I hardly get to coach. And
he's just griping about what had football

431
00:32:55.640 --> 00:33:00.559
coaches have to do now? And
then the kicker he's making nine million dollars

432
00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:05.519
a year doing it, and so
people are like all over him saying,

433
00:33:05.599 --> 00:33:07.640
look, you you're making nine million
bucks a year. Suck it up.

434
00:33:08.000 --> 00:33:10.839
I mean, I mean, I
get it. It's hard to be a

435
00:33:10.880 --> 00:33:14.880
coach now with all the other stuff
you got to do, But you know

436
00:33:15.079 --> 00:33:20.599
the money's there. Is there for
a reason, right, Yeah. Well,

437
00:33:20.960 --> 00:33:23.319
I think the biggest thing in this
is college and this is for another

438
00:33:24.319 --> 00:33:31.279
conversation, but college sports has changed
this last year so much A year from

439
00:33:31.359 --> 00:33:36.640
now, it's going to be so
much change. I mean, these changes

440
00:33:36.720 --> 00:33:44.960
are happening to where now the game
has gone beyond just coaching and used to

441
00:33:45.079 --> 00:33:51.599
recruit, well, now it is
fundraising and and doing all of the nil

442
00:33:51.720 --> 00:33:57.200
stuff and all of the I mean, it's the college coaches. It's it's

443
00:33:57.279 --> 00:34:01.039
so much better. And this is
my view, so much it's easier being

444
00:34:01.240 --> 00:34:12.159
a pro coach than college now because
college has added so many other things where

445
00:34:12.199 --> 00:34:16.760
you've got to worry about all kinds
of other things as opposed to just coaching.

446
00:34:17.159 --> 00:34:21.639
You've got a lot of other things
on your plate. So, I

447
00:34:21.800 --> 00:34:24.440
mean, I know what you exactly
what you're saying. He is being paid

448
00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:30.639
all this money and whatever. He's
basically saying, you know what, it's

449
00:34:30.719 --> 00:34:35.519
just a harder job than it used
to be. And so without questions,

450
00:34:35.639 --> 00:34:40.960
and then we hear that Texas Tech
Picture is going to be paid one million

451
00:34:42.000 --> 00:34:47.679
dollars a little over one million dollars
in il deal and it's just starting.

452
00:34:52.360 --> 00:34:55.079
And again, who do you think
is going to have the better teams?

453
00:34:57.079 --> 00:35:01.079
The ones that have big nil money
are the ones don't, right? And

454
00:35:01.320 --> 00:35:06.199
and then is that how college sports
is supposed to be. How well,

455
00:35:07.119 --> 00:35:09.280
how would you have handled how would
you You're a mild mannered guy, you're

456
00:35:09.280 --> 00:35:14.000
a good coach, but I know
you're probably glad you're out of it,

457
00:35:14.079 --> 00:35:24.239
But how would you have handled this
stuff? You got a minute? No,

458
00:35:24.559 --> 00:35:30.400
no, you know what it is. You're gonna see lots more turnover,

459
00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:37.599
lots more turnover of coaches just because
there's going to be left patients with

460
00:35:37.079 --> 00:35:45.519
with coaches and and so forth.
And uh, I you here, you'd

461
00:35:45.599 --> 00:35:51.920
have to be able to have here's
what's happening with college coaches. They're becoming,

462
00:35:52.719 --> 00:36:00.599
uh where you're kind of the CEO
of of a organization and you've got

463
00:36:00.679 --> 00:36:04.199
to have your fundraising going on,
you've got to have your recruiting going on.

464
00:36:04.320 --> 00:36:07.679
You've got to have dealing with the
university. I mean, how about

465
00:36:07.719 --> 00:36:13.960
that. Yeah, I mean that's
a whole another because the university, you're

466
00:36:14.000 --> 00:36:19.400
part of the university. So you've
got academics, and you've got Title nine,

467
00:36:19.480 --> 00:36:22.599
and you've got all these different things
that you have to deal with.

468
00:36:22.760 --> 00:36:27.920
It's part of the university that regular. I mean, if you're an NBA

469
00:36:28.079 --> 00:36:30.400
or NFL, you don't have to
deal with you don't have to deal with

470
00:36:30.559 --> 00:36:35.639
fundraising. You don't have to deal
with all these other things and having your

471
00:36:35.760 --> 00:36:39.679
players be academically ineligible. But when
was the last time you heard somebody being

472
00:36:39.760 --> 00:36:45.400
academically ineligible? You don't hear about
it anymore. But at the end of

473
00:36:45.400 --> 00:36:49.239
the day, Scott will leave you
with this. Every month, there's a

474

00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:02.719

a look back at the Ludelsen era in

490
00:37:49.320 --> 00:37:51.880
my new book, Lessons from Loot. It was a labor of love through

491
00:37:51.880 --> 00:37:54.559
the eyes of twenty five former players, coaches, and friends to give insight

492
00:37:54.679 --> 00:37:58.559
to the coach and the man who
led them, competed against them, and

493
00:37:58.679 --> 00:38:02.079
inspired them. Twenty five chapters for
his twenty five years as Arizona's beloved coach.

494
00:38:02.559 --> 00:38:06.760
Lessons from Newton is an insight to
how he built the program into a

Don't call me. Don't call you. You know, I was, you

530
00:40:46.960 --> 00:40:50.719
know, thinking about Scott Thompson.
The question I asked him about Steve Curling,

531
00:40:50.760 --> 00:40:52.599
What what did you see? Right? Uh? And I get you're

532
00:40:52.639 --> 00:40:55.400
not going to see that he's going
to be a six treme NBA champion,

533
00:40:55.559 --> 00:40:58.920
you know, coach and all that
stuff, But there are certain things you

534
00:40:59.000 --> 00:41:00.280
had to see, no question,
right. And I remember, you know,

535
00:41:00.719 --> 00:41:04.360
I tell you that. You know, the first year I covered basketball

536
00:41:04.480 --> 00:41:07.360
was eighty six eighty seven season,
which was the year that he sat.

537
00:41:07.559 --> 00:41:10.599
Yeah, okay, but he was
on all the trips. Yeah, you

538
00:41:10.679 --> 00:41:15.320
know, he was a practice,
He was around all the time. I

539
00:41:15.440 --> 00:41:21.840
feel like that year of him sitting
on the bench and watching all this and

540
00:41:21.960 --> 00:41:25.559
watching this team, which was very
immature team, I'll just put it that

541
00:41:25.639 --> 00:41:29.320
way. First of all, I
just looked up the rash. There was

542
00:41:29.400 --> 00:41:31.400
one senior on it and it was
Bruce Fraser. Okay, so he didn't

543
00:41:31.679 --> 00:41:34.840
you know, he didn't play a
ton, but all the guys who played,

544
00:41:35.239 --> 00:41:39.000
none of them were were seniors.
And him, I think him sitting

545
00:41:39.079 --> 00:41:44.639
on the bench may have helped set
him up for what he's doing now because

546
00:41:44.679 --> 00:41:46.079
he got to watch from the sidelines. He got to watch Luke coach,

547
00:41:46.639 --> 00:41:50.960
and he got to watch coach a
team that was had a lot of issues.

548
00:41:51.480 --> 00:41:54.719
Yeah, you know, well this
may be stupid, but I think

549
00:41:54.760 --> 00:41:59.239
we've said this before. Had he
not gotten hurt, the trajectory of the

550
00:41:59.239 --> 00:42:02.480
better about squall would totally be different. It would be totally different. Yeah,

551
00:42:02.679 --> 00:42:07.239
But that that year, you know, that was the team that you

552
00:42:07.280 --> 00:42:10.280
know, Sean Elliott was a Fred
was a sophomore, Anthony Cook was a

553
00:42:10.360 --> 00:42:15.559
sophomore, Kenny Lofton was a sophomore. You know, guys like Joe Turner,

554
00:42:16.079 --> 00:42:20.280
you know was Joe Turner was a
junior. Craig McMillan was, you

555
00:42:20.320 --> 00:42:25.119
know, was a junior. That
team it came together that year during that

556
00:42:25.280 --> 00:42:30.039
time, and Steve was there and
I think he was a big part of

557
00:42:30.119 --> 00:42:34.719
that and and may have done a
lot of things that a coach would have

558
00:42:34.840 --> 00:42:37.400
done. You know, I've told
you the story that you know, the

559
00:42:37.480 --> 00:42:40.199
time they got the hell beat out
of him at U C l A.

560
00:42:42.119 --> 00:42:44.679
And after the game, I ran
into him in the elevator and it was

561
00:42:44.719 --> 00:42:49.400
just me and him and and uh
and they just were awful. They were

562
00:42:49.480 --> 00:42:52.800
just awful. And I said,
Steve, what the hell something like that

563
00:42:52.960 --> 00:42:54.679
like, and he was just he
was just pissed. He was mad that

564
00:42:54.760 --> 00:42:59.599
they had played the way they played
and and he he that was where he

565
00:42:59.639 --> 00:43:02.840
reference and Pete Williams and said,
this team needs somebody like a Pete Williams

566
00:43:04.119 --> 00:43:07.920
who gets on the court and just
plays mad. And and he was seeing

567
00:43:07.960 --> 00:43:13.119
those things right as a as a
college well he was. He was in

568
00:43:13.360 --> 00:43:15.360
his fourth year of concert. He
was a college senior. But he was

569
00:43:15.400 --> 00:43:22.719
seeing those things that to me,
as I think about it later, those

570
00:43:22.760 --> 00:43:24.679
are the kinds of things that I
think are wife. Steve has been so

571
00:43:24.840 --> 00:43:28.760
good in his career, both as
a player in the Cup. Well,

572
00:43:28.800 --> 00:43:32.360
he what makes him special. He's
a people person. He understand understands them.

573
00:43:32.400 --> 00:43:37.159
He understands them, and he's dynamic
with their personality. He knows how

574
00:43:37.239 --> 00:43:39.880
to deal with Come on, you
have to be you have to be free

575
00:43:39.920 --> 00:43:43.760
to deal with the teams that he's
coached. Yeah. Right. It's funny

576
00:43:44.159 --> 00:43:46.360
about four or five years ago,
I was with a group of people and

577
00:43:46.480 --> 00:43:50.119
the guy says, well, I
could do it because I could coach do

578
00:43:50.199 --> 00:43:53.079
what Steve's doing. Look at all
the talent it is. It doesn't work

579
00:43:53.119 --> 00:43:57.559
that way. It doesn't work that
you have to deal with the Beagles you

580
00:43:57.639 --> 00:44:00.679
have to deal with the egos and
make sure everyone's happy or tried to right.

581
00:44:00.880 --> 00:44:02.519
And here's the here's the kind of
a weird example. Okay too,

582
00:44:02.639 --> 00:44:07.800
because on the one hand, he
was the he was the grown up on

583
00:44:07.920 --> 00:44:09.960
the team in nineteen eighty eight,
he was the grow He and Craig mcpill

584
00:44:10.119 --> 00:44:14.199
were like the two norths. Craig
said four words, right, so he

585
00:44:14.320 --> 00:44:16.719
really you know, well, Craig
was sort of a lead by example kind

586
00:44:16.760 --> 00:44:21.320
of guy. He wasn't a raw
rock guy. He you know, he

587
00:44:21.400 --> 00:44:28.760
never he never talked Steve for the
example I was gonna use. And this

588
00:44:28.920 --> 00:44:30.920
was the year before. We were
on the plane too, and we used

589
00:44:30.920 --> 00:44:35.159
to fly with the team in these
flight commercials. We would fly with them.

590
00:44:35.760 --> 00:44:38.679
We were on the flight to to
they played at Illinois in January of

591
00:44:38.760 --> 00:44:45.239
that year, long flight from Tucson
to there. And on the one hand,

592
00:44:45.320 --> 00:44:46.079
he was sort of the grown up
in the room. But on the

593
00:44:46.119 --> 00:44:50.199
other hand, there were times when
he was a kid just like the rest

594
00:44:50.280 --> 00:44:54.079
of them. And I think that's
where players maybe got a little bit of

595
00:44:54.199 --> 00:45:00.039
a respect for him, an attachment
to him, because on the one and

596
00:45:00.199 --> 00:45:01.440
they felt like he was one of
them, but on the other hand,

597
00:45:01.760 --> 00:45:05.920
as you said, you know,
Harvey Mason said, we didn't want to

598
00:45:05.960 --> 00:45:08.599
disappoint him, So he was at
on the one hand, you know,

599
00:45:08.760 --> 00:45:10.639
one of them, but on the
other hand, the father figure in the

600
00:45:10.679 --> 00:45:15.519
show. I think different stages of
his career. Two. I don't know

601
00:45:15.599 --> 00:45:20.119
if you remember this, but Eddie
and Eddie h Pete uh talked about him

602
00:45:20.440 --> 00:45:22.760
seeing him because they were he came
on the scene and he was they're playing

603
00:45:22.800 --> 00:45:27.000
in the gym blah blah blah,
and the ball rolled on the sidelines.

604
00:45:27.000 --> 00:45:28.920
He was not playing with the guys
yet. He just come on to the

605
00:45:29.480 --> 00:45:31.320
campus. He got them and it
was like on on the side side of

606
00:45:31.320 --> 00:45:35.559
the sideline out he picked it up
and he shot it. Of course it

607
00:45:35.679 --> 00:45:38.679
went in from not not a short
disk right and and Pete still remembers that,

608
00:45:38.800 --> 00:45:42.559
saying, and that's the guy we
saw for the rest of his career,

609
00:45:43.199 --> 00:45:45.639
just a guy who can shoot the
shots. And Thompson says it perfectly.

610
00:45:46.000 --> 00:45:50.840
He was. He was perfect for
for for lout, for loot and

611
00:45:50.880 --> 00:45:54.199
the funny stuff. I know you
haven't read my book. You up when

612
00:45:54.239 --> 00:45:58.280
he was when he was being recruited, Bobby and and Luke went to go

613
00:45:58.360 --> 00:46:00.880
see him, right, yeah,
because I had that part. It was

614
00:46:00.039 --> 00:46:05.079
and so what did she say,
You're gonna get this guy? The guy

615
00:46:05.119 --> 00:46:10.480
can't play it. He's just not
good enough. Short, his shot was

616
00:46:10.519 --> 00:46:15.079
awkward, he was gonna get it
blocked or whatever, and they brought him

617
00:46:15.079 --> 00:46:17.760
in. The rest is history,
and the rest is history. And then

618
00:46:17.800 --> 00:46:25.239
you know, again, six NBA
Championships or five five rings rings as a

619
00:46:25.280 --> 00:46:30.400
player, and then total and then
a bunch of the coach. But yeah,

620
00:46:30.599 --> 00:46:32.119
you know, so there are times
when you do see that. But

621
00:46:32.239 --> 00:46:34.920
he was you know again, he
was a kid, right, he was.

622
00:46:35.119 --> 00:46:38.920
He was Henry's age. Holy cow. Yeah, well all our careers

623
00:46:39.000 --> 00:46:43.559
genery compared to her, you know. But but I think one of the

624
00:46:43.679 --> 00:46:49.199
things that that again talking about what
you saw, is that he I don't

625
00:46:49.199 --> 00:46:52.119
think he's ever and when he's come
on the show even he's ever thought of

626
00:46:52.320 --> 00:46:59.880
himself as this figure. Right.
He's a normal dude. Yeah, he

627
00:47:00.000 --> 00:47:01.960
he's a normal dude. He's a
bob down, he's he's a dirt bags

628
00:47:02.039 --> 00:47:06.320
dude. Yeah, he's just you
know, I've told you about the day

629
00:47:06.360 --> 00:47:08.800
that I did sort of my preseason. It was about the season about to

630
00:47:08.840 --> 00:47:12.559
start. We did my Okay,
he's a senior. He's leading the team,

631
00:47:12.599 --> 00:47:15.079
Hadi YadA, and so he did
the all encompassing thing. I got

632
00:47:15.119 --> 00:47:17.320
to go spend an afternoon with him. But I picked him up at McHale

633
00:47:17.320 --> 00:47:21.760
after a practice, and he had
a bike. He had this beat up

634
00:47:21.800 --> 00:47:23.960
bike that he rode to practice.
And you know, he didn't have a

635
00:47:24.039 --> 00:47:29.159
fancy car and you know all this
stuff. He had this beat up bike

636
00:47:29.199 --> 00:47:31.000
that he rode to practice. He
lived over there in what he used to

637
00:47:31.039 --> 00:47:36.599
be in elementary school on Park and
Speedway behind the circle k there and there's

638
00:47:36.639 --> 00:47:38.639
okay there now there's a it used
to be a school and now and they

639
00:47:38.800 --> 00:47:43.320
made it into apartments and that's where
he lived with Bruce Fraser, and he

640
00:47:43.360 --> 00:47:47.000
would ride from there to campus every
day. And and that day we threw

641
00:47:47.039 --> 00:47:49.920
his bike in the back of my
car and I gave him a ride and

642
00:47:49.960 --> 00:47:52.960
we went and got a sandwich and
went to his apartment. But he was

643
00:47:53.039 --> 00:47:57.320
just kind of like, I'm just
a guy, you know. Well here's

644
00:47:57.440 --> 00:48:00.320
I think I said this on the
show too while back. How do you

645
00:48:00.480 --> 00:48:02.519
know? They asked me, how
do you know the kids are how they

646
00:48:02.559 --> 00:48:07.639
are? If you have good parents? If you have good parents, you're

647
00:48:07.639 --> 00:48:09.400
good kids. You have good kids, you raised good kids. He was

648
00:48:09.440 --> 00:48:13.079
obviously one of those, one of
those. Luke was one of those because

649
00:48:13.079 --> 00:48:15.400
Susy and Bill did great jobs with
their kids. They're not they're not ego

650
00:48:15.519 --> 00:48:21.159
driven there, They're just people.
Sean Elliott, Sean and and and his

651
00:48:21.280 --> 00:48:24.000
parents just guys. The influence that
his mom had on him, all that,

652
00:48:24.199 --> 00:48:29.199
all those times, right right,
right right, and that's why those

653
00:48:29.239 --> 00:48:31.159
are those guys. And then you
have other guys who are paying the next

654
00:48:31.960 --> 00:48:36.400
who don't give a crap and have
egos and whatever. And I've met those

655
00:48:36.440 --> 00:48:38.000
guys too, We've we've met all
of them. And it was actually at

656
00:48:38.039 --> 00:48:43.960
the end of Luton's career the demise
of because the times had changed, you

657
00:48:44.039 --> 00:48:46.440
got older, and there are guys
that kind of tested him, the tested

658
00:48:46.519 --> 00:48:50.599
him, right, The Steve Kurz
and the L's were fewer and far between.

659
00:48:50.880 --> 00:48:52.920
Now we're talking about talent, you're
talking about the type of people were

660
00:48:53.480 --> 00:48:58.639
you know, because of you know, the way you know, aau Ball

661
00:48:58.719 --> 00:49:02.440
and all that stuff developed. Yeah, said, those kids just came up

662
00:49:02.480 --> 00:49:07.880
and nobody ever told them other other
than you're great, and that's all they

663
00:49:07.920 --> 00:49:09.159
ever heard. That's part of the
problem because they get here and they have

664
00:49:09.239 --> 00:49:13.159
to kind of be reprogrammed. You're
not in you're in the system. And

665
00:49:13.239 --> 00:49:17.599
it doesn't surprise me that Steve uses
some of those methods of loot. It's

666
00:49:17.800 --> 00:49:22.760
fascinating to me that he's got you
know, Kevin Durant and and Lebron and

667
00:49:22.800 --> 00:49:27.239
out there and he's doing you know, dribbling drills and those kinds of things,

668
00:49:27.320 --> 00:49:30.440
and that they're doing it. Yeah, right, that they're doing it

669
00:49:30.800 --> 00:49:34.400
and don't and don't seem to have
a problem doing it well, you know,

670
00:49:34.480 --> 00:49:37.559
because they they listen to the coach. Sure, sure, you know,

671
00:49:37.480 --> 00:49:40.760
I mean, does Katie really want
to do that stuff? But if

672
00:49:40.800 --> 00:49:44.079
all the other guys are doing it
and the press, you know, there's

673
00:49:44.119 --> 00:49:49.239
the peer pressure to do that and
be a team player. That's what he

674
00:49:49.360 --> 00:49:52.360
gets these guys to do. One
of the things about him too, you

675
00:49:52.440 --> 00:49:54.880
know, he had his camp here, very bright dude. By the end

676
00:49:54.920 --> 00:49:59.559
the boy and I did those stories
where he had like a hundred kids by

677
00:49:59.599 --> 00:50:01.400
the end the first day, he
would know the first names of all the

678
00:50:01.480 --> 00:50:05.280
kids. I mean, come on, we have a hard time remember yesterday's

679
00:50:05.960 --> 00:50:08.360
no he he still knows my son
Adams. Yeah, and Probaly would see

680
00:50:08.400 --> 00:50:12.079
him like that, you know Adam. And then when I covered him in

681
00:50:12.159 --> 00:50:15.119
ninety seven when he hit the game
six shot, did a big story.

682
00:50:15.360 --> 00:50:17.840
Talking to Margo, he's kind of
tight and he's made all the study.

683
00:50:19.079 --> 00:50:22.880
He still never cast those checks he
was he wasn't spending that money he was

684
00:50:22.920 --> 00:50:25.440
making with the US because he had
money. Yeah, he had money.

685
00:50:25.480 --> 00:50:29.000
I was not using that money,
right. She said, Oh, that's

686
00:50:29.039 --> 00:50:31.039
just who he is, and she
dated him since college. Yeah, yeah,

687
00:50:31.440 --> 00:50:36.039
no, yeah, it's it's it's
yeah, he's a fascinating story.

688
00:50:36.079 --> 00:50:37.639
I mean, he really is well
continues to be. Yeah. I mean

689
00:50:37.800 --> 00:50:45.639
today, who's more famous than him
in Arizona Lums, nobody, nobody a

690

was so Jenny Richard. Richard might be

699
00:51:21.280 --> 00:51:25.239

in media, but it's probably Steve Richard.

700
