WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.159 --> 00:00:06.799 Steve Rivera and Jacin Salins. They have their eye on the ball on Tucson 2 00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:12.439 Sports Stage yet Fox Sports fourteen fifty. Hey, welcome back to you wanting 3 00:00:12.439 --> 00:00:16.160 the bulcare on Fox Sports fourteen fifty. I'm Steve Ribera, You're jigins Us 4 00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:21.600 and now we have at least with breaking news. Least is eye on the 5 00:00:21.719 --> 00:00:27.800 ball breaking news on Fox Sports fourteen fifty. Okay, welcome to breaking news. 6 00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:33.159 Earlier today, the College Football Association announced that the new format for the 7 00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:37.320 new twelve team Playoff, which will be starting next season, and it will 8 00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:43.920 be the five highest ranked conference champions in the twelve team playoff along with the 9 00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:48.840 next seven highest ranked teams. What do you guys think about that? Well, 10 00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:54.560 that they had to make that change, right because well, the way 11 00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:58.240 they built it for six and six and six was that you had the five 12 00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:00.399 conference champion, the five Power five conference champions, and then a group of 13 00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:04.760 five champions with the PAC twelve gone sort of. I think what this does 14 00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:11.319 is leave open the door for whatever Washington State and Oregon State do in terms 15 00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:15.239 of a conference or whatever, that they have a chance to get in if 16 00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:19.840 they go crazy. But it'll be the it'll obviously be the four UH power 17 00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:25.280 the Power four now Conference champions, Big twelve PAC twelve, I'm Big twelve, 18 00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:30.120 Big ten sec ACC will get in, and then somebody from either the 19 00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:34.359 group of five or maybe that includes Washington State and Oregon State or a sitate 20 00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:38.640 in Oregon State have a shot at that large or something like this, and 21 00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:42.760 then the next just seven highest ranked highest rank right, the committee is still 22 00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:46.599 going to do the rankings, and basically the top twelve team, the conference 23 00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:53.359 champions, and the and the every other seven highest ranked teams probably theoretically the 24 00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:56.959 top twelve teams in the rankings get in the tournament. You know, they're 25 00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:00.640 already talking about haven't even played the first twelve team tournament. I'm already talking 26 00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:07.799 about expanding it just sixteen because it's only two years. The contract runs out 27 00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:12.120 in two years. The current uh TV contract for the playoff runs out in 28 00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:15.080 two years. They're already talking about in two years, let's go to fourteen 29 00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:16.240 or sixteen. They have to go to sixteen and just end it there. 30 00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:21.439 I mean, come on, twelve is weird, sixteen is perfect UH and 31 00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:25.919 they'll go to sixty eight if basically by the time we die and It's the 32 00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:29.840 same thing with the NC double. As they're talking about going to ninety six, 33 00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:34.319 they're adding adding uh, who does adding thirty adding thirty two teams, 34 00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:37.919 adding thirty two teams and then a bount your thirty two will have a first 35 00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:39.240 round by Yeah. I think we talked about this a while back when they 36 00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:43.240 said, yeah, no, what point do you get what is wrong with 37 00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:46.319 it? What point? What point do you say there's gotta be some specialty 38 00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:51.240 to this. You play the season to become specialists or be qualified for it. 39 00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:54.479 There's nothing wrong with the everybody gets a trophy time of situation. You're 40 00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:58.199 you're hey, we're nine and two, nine and fifteen, but hey, 41 00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:00.199 we're in the door in the tournament. There's nothing wrong with the tournament. 42 00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:05.120 There's nothing that needs to be fixed with the with the basketball tournament. Nothing. 43 00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:07.560 It's perfect. It's the most exciting time of the year. It is. 44 00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:13.800 I love single elimination basketball, totally agree. All right, okay, 45 00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:17.319 I'll stop up next. The PAC twelve appointed. I think this was today 46 00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:22.439 too, Teresa Good to lead the conference as a new commissioner. I know 47 00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:25.120 last we were talking about whatever that means, right, I mean that was 48 00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:28.960 the first thing that people were saying. Okay, so she's the commissioner of 49 00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:32.919 what the PAC twelve, the dwindling PAC twelve. Well, I mean they're 50 00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:37.080 still on the for two more years. You know, the PAC twelve still 51 00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:39.919 has a seat at the table, for instance, in the college football playoff 52 00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:45.759 and other things where So, I mean the thing the misconception is that PAC 53 00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:49.159 twelve has ceased to exist. It hasn't. It's still got two teams left 54 00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:52.759 in it as an entity. It exists, right, which is kind of 55 00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:57.240 weird, But you know whatever, I mean, she's she was the deputy 56 00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:00.360 commissioner, so she just basically stepping into the job and playoff cough is gone 57 00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:05.759 and whatever millions of dollars he was making doing that packed the Pack twelve saves. 58 00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:11.919 Yeah, I think they god be interesting to see what happens with the 59 00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:15.280 PAC twelve. It's sad but swindling down. So maybe she can turn it 60 00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:18.480 around and make something. Yeah, build something out of it, build it 61 00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:23.680 back up. It still won't be the Pack twelve. Never again. Yeah 62 00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:28.680 again. Now moving on to baseball, the PAC twelve first Picture of the 63 00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:33.920 Week was announced this this week and it is Arizona's Jackson Kent And this is 64 00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:38.519 the third time in the year Arizona's picture got the first picture of the week 65 00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:42.519 of the season. So that's interesting that Arizona is always starting off strong. 66 00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:46.480 Well, they had a nice weekend, right Northeastern any think Northeastern like it 67 00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:49.319 really Northeastern, but they are ranked twenty third and Arizona is not ranked. 68 00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:54.000 They're not ranked and they're playing right now though. Yeah, and they win 69 00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:56.920 two our three, So that's a good start for chip. Hale like kind 70 00:04:56.959 --> 00:04:59.560 a clip of his of his inurvim and said it was a big deal to 71 00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:02.040 them that, Yeah, Northeastern came here ranked in Arizona was not. Then 72 00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:04.639 they took a little as we say, Steve, you try to get some 73 00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:11.160 momentum with that. Okay, Okay, I got miss momentum here. Yeah, 74 00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:15.759 I won't argue. Okay, they maybe they do have little momentum because 75 00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:19.319 they're playing Utah Tech right now and they're up thirteen to four, or they're 76 00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:23.600 just playing a bad team, right, that's what you said by as U. 77 00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:28.959 Two give them no credit matters. I mean, yes, it matters. 78 00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:31.879 But four, I'll let you guys enjoy your time. They're winning you 79 00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:36.959 they're winning and that's all them and that matters, right, they're winning right. 80 00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:42.480 Yes, that's interesting though that they always start with packed past three years 81 00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:46.879 Pactal Picture of the week first one, oh yeah, the last three yeah, 82 00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:51.160 the last three years okay. And then in the USA today came out 83 00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:57.560 with the softball coaches pool for softball today and there were seven of the pack. 84 00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:00.399 Twelve teams were in the top twenty five. Arizona is number twenty two. 85 00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:06.279 Who's whore's you? Two? Three? Four? I lost? Okay, 86 00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:10.639 if you can't still number one, I think, yeah, why did 87 00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:13.279 I? I saw that one? They could be yeah, could be. 88 00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:18.279 And Stanford's in there. When did Stanford get they played they played Texas last 89 00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:21.680 week solo on TV. When when did they get good? You know they've 90 00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:27.079 been hot and hot and cold for a while, so yeah, I did 91 00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:31.600 see that. But again another another situation where Arizona came in unranked and now 92 00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:35.199 you know they had you know, they beat our Arkansas in their in their 93 00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:40.399 tournament, and so they're they're ranked. Well, they started the season five 94 00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:45.279 and oh and then they lost since then, but the softball team has been 95 00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:49.319 playing strong. And then did you guys see that buzzer beater last night. 96 00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:55.199 You talk at U c l A. The last second it was blocked and 97 00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:59.639 then he got a rebound and made it so they won by one point. 98 00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:02.680 Was given the guy got ejected and yes, oh my gosh, that was 99 00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:05.639 an assault, Like there wasn't assault. I'm like, what are you doing? 100 00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:10.720 And and and in that fraction of a second before you did that? 101 00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:14.800 What what in your mind set? This is the thing to do is to 102 00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:18.160 throw this guy at forearm, shiver to the throat right as the ball goes 103 00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:23.319 by, and everybody's looking at you and Cronin doing what he was doing with 104 00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:27.079 a few bu he said the m F word. I saw that one I 105 00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:32.079 saw that, but that that was I'm like, my thinking is that something 106 00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:35.839 like that. It's not only just you're ejected, but you need to miss 107 00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:40.199 another game or two. But you know what, So what came of it 108 00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:44.959 was a he got tossed as he was out for the rest of the game, 109 00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:48.279 and then they lose on a buzzer beater and the final play was was 110 00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:53.279 was didn't they get a steal? Well? No, the thing was Mitt 111 00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:56.600 Cronin got so out coached on this job because what they did is they did 112 00:07:56.600 --> 00:08:00.480 that thing where they passed the ball to a guy out of bounds on the 113 00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:03.240 baseline and then the guy who threw the ball to him just darted down the 114 00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:05.879 court. It was their guard. He was wide open. They thrown and 115 00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:09.079 there was nobody to stop him going down the lane. Now he did go 116 00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:13.759 shoot the lay up high off the glass, and they missed, but they 117 00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:16.759 had a guy there to to get to lay it in, get the rebound 118 00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:20.040 and laid in. And it was the ball game. And you know, 119 00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:24.519 ul A had like a two tenths of a second to do something with and 120 00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:26.600 they were on the other end of the course, so they couldn't do anything 121 00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:30.439 with that. And for anybody at UCLA who thought they still had a shot 122 00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:33.559 it something, yeah, they're gonna. I mean they're fourth in the twelve. 123 00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:37.960 You know they still have a chance. I mean, because they do 124 00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:39.360 well. I think that there was one was gonna probably lose to them up 125 00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:46.759 there, Pauli and then I'm not so sure anymore. Looked really bad right 126 00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:50.360 today on February twenty first through whatever today, I mean that was ul A 127 00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:54.120 was the game. We were down by nineteen right and gay back and they 128 00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:56.159 were gonna play in use Paulie and we'll see. I think that's the only 129 00:08:56.200 --> 00:09:00.919 one left. They're not very good. I just it was such an airport 130 00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:03.559 team, but they don't play at airports. Sounded was kind of a rivalry 131 00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:09.080 for a few years, you know, and then now there's not. The 132 00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:11.840 rivalry is gone. Yeah, the rivalry. You have more stuff that was 133 00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:16.360 it. I have. I have a couple of things just came into the 134 00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:18.120 as he does this farm, the Wildcats, the tennis team, which we 135 00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:22.200 know is very great and always play as well. The Wildcats completed the i 136 00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:26.960 t A National Indoors in New York City and for the first time in program 137 00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:31.080 history, they defeated number three Texas on Friday and number ten Texas A and 138 00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:35.840 M. They did fall to number six Wisconsin, but now they're number nine 139 00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:39.080 in the country, the highest rating ever in the program history. Wow, 140 00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:45.679 did such And we you know, I don't know about how you feel about 141 00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:48.360 this because you know, some of the coaches we talked about, who did 142 00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:54.000 we think is the best coach today? I mean right now, we came 143 00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:58.840 up with him and Shields. I mean, he turned that program around for 144 00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:01.960 nothing, nothing, They were nothing, you know, With all due respect 145 00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:05.840 to everybody, else. He's done a great job. He's done great. 146 00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:09.320 Yeah, and like recruiting too, with like all those international players, and 147 00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:13.000 yeah, he's going a long way for their players day right like this day, 148 00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:16.679 like all four years and there's only isn't only ten people on the team. 149 00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:20.120 Yep, it's a crazy small number, small number of people. So 150 00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:24.360 yeah, good, good for Clancy Shields. I'm still looking for this post 151 00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:30.759 that I saw that was talking about, you know, multiple bids for conferences 152 00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:33.399 in the NCAA tournament, and I remember who put it up, so I 153 00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:39.159 almost hesitate to quote it. But they had five for the five for the 154 00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:43.440 Big twelve, which makes sense. I can't remember if it was five for 155 00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:48.279 the SEC or the Big ten. Let me tell you, I'm not gonna 156 00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:50.879 be here tomorrow, as we know, we haven't said ye, but I'm 157 00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:52.840 part of a group of media up in the state and I'm going to Phoenix 158 00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:56.679 tomorrow too. We're gonna do our own bracket to kind of project what's gonna 159 00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:00.639 happen. And a big ten is one of my my things. I have 160 00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:01.879 six, I said, Okay, then it must be the Big ten. 161 00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:07.000 So then it must be that the SEC, the A C C, and 162 00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:11.679 the PAC twelve are each only getting two according to this uh wherever's predicting this, 163 00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:15.279 which I thought was really I mean, when we think of the a 164 00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:18.600 C C they've got sixteen teams or whatever, we'll only getting only getting two 165 00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:22.919 bids powerhouse. But I mean, and I remember there was one was North 166 00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:26.440 Carolina. I'm assuming the other one was was Duke. Duke's number eight right 167 00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:30.559 now, Yeah, so I can't but they had above yeah, it had 168 00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:33.399 nobody else getting getting a bid, which I thought was kind of crazy to 169 00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:37.559 imagine that that that the AEC would only get two.

It's either gonna be 181 00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:28.399 me and somebody Sammy's on Wednesday, Sam's on wednther canna be me and Samuel 182 00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:31.320 al I might get I might get a guest host in here. But then 183 00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:35.159 we found out over the weekend we got a bad break to your Vegas show. 184 00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:39.159 No, we haven't mentioned anything about our Vegas show. We we you 185 00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:41.480 know, last couple of years, three years now, right, tried to 186 00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:45.279 do uh the Friday show in Vegas when we're up there for the packed off 187 00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:48.720 tournament. Already we know Thursday and Friday, Wednesday and Thursday there are no 188 00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:52.600 shows because we're both up there. I'm working the tournament. We've all we've 189 00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:56.240 always had time to do it on Friday because the games, what's the first 190 00:12:56.240 --> 00:13:01.440 game on Fridays at six o'clock Vegas time, and with daylight savings time not 191 00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:05.799 in play yet, it would be seven o'clock Vegas time, So that gave 192 00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:07.120 us time to do our show till five o'clock and then also over to the 193 00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:11.480 arena. Well, we got two bad breaks. One daylight savings time is 194 00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:16.440 before the tournament, and then they pushed the games up to five o'clock, 195 00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:20.000 so the game is at five o'clock Vegas time and twoth On time, which 196 00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:24.200 doesn't allow us to do the show. So you giving me a three day 197 00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:28.879 break, three days off, so that week to get packed off tournament week. 198 00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:33.200 We will be off the air Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. We'll 199 00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:35.519 be back here Monday to break it all down because right after then, you 200 00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:41.039 know, we'll have NCAA Tournament brackets and the whole deal.

And so he's right, he's 337 00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:18.240 certainly you know, kind of the guy. Yeah, he's the he's the 338 00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:22.839 reason. He's the reason. Yeah. So all right right, it was 339 00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:25.200 great right out there for the baseball. Yeah. Look, good man, 340 00:23:25.359 --> 00:23:27.319 I've got it on on my computer here. It looks like a nice sunshiny 341 00:23:27.359 --> 00:23:33.319 day. Yeah, fifteen four. All right, all right man, sounds 342 00:23:33.359 --> 00:23:37.240 good. Thanks Brian. We will talk later, Okay, Yeah, I'm 343 00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:38.920 not sure. The guys from Washington State, there was another guy that they 344 00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:42.519 the one of the announcers kept saying, Oh, he's gonna be in the 345 00:23:42.519 --> 00:23:47.319 top ten, he's gonna be a lottery guys from Colorado. It was Colorado. 346 00:23:47.359 --> 00:23:48.400 That's it, the guard, the guard. Yeah, they have him 347 00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:52.119 as that, they have him as the lottery guy. Stop, that's the 348 00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:56.240 good I'm trying to go through rosters right now. Stop, what's Colorado. 349 00:23:56.400 --> 00:24:00.400 They're not ranked with their record, Yeah they're not. It's just weird how 350 00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:02.960 they kind of threw this guy out and says what it might be. Even 351 00:24:02.960 --> 00:24:04.559 the kid that there was on a recruit he's on Simpson Simpson. No, 352 00:24:04.680 --> 00:24:07.119 it's not kJ Simpson, it's it's another kid. No, No, that's 353 00:24:07.160 --> 00:24:10.279 another kid. But yeah, but that's another year, yeah Simpson. No. 354 00:24:10.319 --> 00:24:14.079 But the guy that there, there's a guy from Colorado who's on who's 355 00:24:14.079 --> 00:24:17.720 on a bunch of draft boards. And I saw his name on the draft 356 00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:22.599 boards before the Arizona played Colorado, so I kind of kept an eye on. 357 00:24:22.440 --> 00:24:29.920 Yeah, and he's stop, uh, I mean that guy. I'm 358 00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:33.759 not sure the guy would start for Arizona, right, And and yet you 359 00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:37.079 know they've they've got him on on on a bunch of mock drafts. I'm 360 00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:40.440 like, who is this guy? I can't think of his name, but 361 00:24:40.559 --> 00:24:42.680 yeah, well I think kJ Simpson was the other guy that thought. But 362 00:24:42.799 --> 00:24:47.119 you know, none of them compared to what what Caleb is doing. Cody 363 00:24:47.160 --> 00:24:52.480 Williams is a six to eight wing guy. I'm looking at, uh a 364 00:24:52.480 --> 00:24:56.279 mock draft on the athletic and they've got him as a number four pick. 365 00:24:56.960 --> 00:25:00.400 I'm like, I did not see that game, the number four pick, 366 00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:03.839 no playing for Colorado neither year, No nor there. Well, I think 367 00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:07.680 maybe he didn't play here because I think he and Tristan the Silvera were both 368 00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:10.519 in there. But I saw him in there in the game up there, 369 00:25:10.519 --> 00:25:12.599 and I didn't see a number of four factor. Yeah, taught trouble in 370 00:25:12.599 --> 00:25:15.160 that game. But I think kJ Simpson was the part of the other guy 371 00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:18.240 that they thought. I said, even if he has a great year, 372 00:25:18.440 --> 00:25:21.160 it's still not better than Caleb's what he's done for his team. Right, 373 00:25:21.279 --> 00:25:23.799 So you're saying Caleb love for Pack twelve Player of the Year, PAC twelve 374 00:25:23.799 --> 00:25:27.960 player. Yeah, he's in mid season for other things in that. Now, 375 00:25:29.039 --> 00:25:32.880 what do you think about national He's probably not the national player they're gonna 376 00:25:32.880 --> 00:25:36.039 give. They're gonna give it to Zac eighty. But but he could make 377 00:25:36.119 --> 00:25:38.160 second or third team All American. Yeah, yeah, for sure, Yeah 378 00:25:38.160 --> 00:25:41.480 for sure. But you know, remember where we're at, We're not in 379 00:25:41.519 --> 00:25:45.880 the central hub of media. So yeah, Jane Daniels won the freaking Heisman 380 00:25:45.960 --> 00:25:52.720 Trophy over over Michael Pennix. I'm still better about that. Steve, You're 381 00:25:52.759 --> 00:25:57.079 not never bitter, You're never. I'm bitter about that. Gay, but 382 00:25:57.279 --> 00:26:03.680 you might want to check your DNA. You might son gave the homie. 383 00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:07.799 Do you think gave the homie? I don't think so. What did you 384 00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:12.319 think about Jaden Bradley coming off the bench twenty one points fair high, fantastic, 385 00:26:12.599 --> 00:26:17.559 awesome, great game by him. I think that he probably uh it 386 00:26:17.599 --> 00:26:19.160 was that was due for him. You know he would I'm saying he he 387 00:26:19.279 --> 00:26:23.640 does love to attack the basket. Yeah. Speaking of Okay, I bookmarked 388 00:26:23.640 --> 00:26:29.640 this Evan Mikawa, buddy, Yes, did you see his uh top ranked 389 00:26:29.640 --> 00:26:33.200 freshman list?

Is this Jade and Bradley at eleven overall? Okay, but 414 00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:25.039 in Arizona, in the Arizona system, specifically Arizona where the best player who 415 00:28:25.079 --> 00:28:26.920 they you know, because because of the Pelly Pelley where he would be, 416 00:28:27.039 --> 00:28:30.519 Well, that's Jane Bradley. He's ranked highest among Arizona guys. Really, 417 00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:37.079 Yeah, and then you go down to forty five, pell at twenty nine 418 00:28:37.599 --> 00:28:41.000 and Umar Bellow now in the on the top fifty at forty five. But 419 00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:45.279 didn't it was that the same list that the individual players the impact that they 420 00:28:45.319 --> 00:28:49.400 have. Yeah, I and Pelle was at the top for a while until 421 00:28:49.599 --> 00:28:55.119 Jayden took over. Well, yeah, okay, the rankings on on the 422 00:28:55.160 --> 00:29:00.000 Arizona on Arizona, Okay, Jade and Bradley, Pelly Larson is in order, 423 00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:04.960 Lumar Bellow, Caleb Love, kJ Lewis, Kylon Boswell, Keisha Johnson, 424 00:29:06.119 --> 00:29:10.119 and Crevis. Okay, but you again, you gots give me what's 425 00:29:10.160 --> 00:29:14.279 the what's the headline on that, what's the category on that? It's just 426 00:29:14.359 --> 00:29:22.079 that their overall uh importance or yeah, the BPR his whatever I can't Bayesian 427 00:29:22.279 --> 00:29:29.160 performance rating, that's the that's the analytic that he's developed with his own theory. 428 00:29:29.160 --> 00:29:32.319 Importance to the right, and it's and it's basically the importance to the 429 00:29:32.400 --> 00:29:34.720 team and Jade and Bradley is at the top of that. You know, 430 00:29:34.960 --> 00:29:37.559 that'd be a good question for for Tommy. You know, if I throw 431 00:29:37.599 --> 00:29:41.680 this at you, would you believe this? You know you want to come 432 00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:45.119 up, he yelled, He would come up with something. He doesn't like 433 00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:51.759 those like two, these two deep questions. He doesn't like those who coming 434 00:29:51.759 --> 00:29:56.400 from He'd be like, I don't know, Steve, I don't think about 435 00:29:56.920 --> 00:30:00.200 Yeah, I just come to practice with game plan, want to pass the 436 00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:03.359 ball. Well, well, here's the funny thing about it. We're just 437 00:30:03.400 --> 00:30:06.880 talking about player of the year and and and he falls fourth or fifth on 438 00:30:06.920 --> 00:30:11.640 that list, right on his team, honestly. Yeah, but imagine this 439 00:30:11.720 --> 00:30:15.720 team without Caleb. Yeah, yeah, right, Well Pella only scored five 440 00:30:15.720 --> 00:30:19.759 points on side, right, but he played well. And Pella can play 441 00:30:19.759 --> 00:30:22.920 well without scoring a ton of points. He can play well defensively, he 442 00:30:23.000 --> 00:30:29.039 does a lot of he did you know you think we're having this conversation. 443 00:30:29.039 --> 00:30:30.279 Do you think he's an NBA player? No, you don't, not at 444 00:30:30.279 --> 00:30:34.920 all. No chance. I wouldn't say no chance. Maybe fifteen chance. 445 00:30:36.519 --> 00:30:37.880 You don't think he can go to the league, Oh yeah, yeah, 446 00:30:37.920 --> 00:30:41.839 yeah, but not that he's not somebody. Is he an NBA player? 447 00:30:41.160 --> 00:30:45.720 Could he be? Could he make it in the NBA in some shape or 448 00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:48.240 form in a few years? You think, well, he's a senior, 449 00:30:48.279 --> 00:30:51.960 he's got he's leaving it if he goes to the league. Yeah, no, 450 00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:55.480 I'm still sorry to say, but no, but hey, I didn't 451 00:30:55.480 --> 00:30:57.799 think. I don't think mconnald's going to be one thing too, But then 452 00:30:57.799 --> 00:31:00.880 all the other guys too. He's got, he's got. Hey, he 453 00:31:02.200 --> 00:31:04.200 I can't say sorry because he's gonna make a ton of money wherever he goes, 454 00:31:04.480 --> 00:31:11.359 whether it goes back home or hell. Yeah, And he's he's great 455 00:31:11.359 --> 00:31:14.519 because he's a great spokesman for the team because they you know, they put 456 00:31:14.599 --> 00:31:17.480 him up on the put him a lot. Yeah, he speaks well, 457 00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:21.519 a good dude, very good player. But everyone must have better players here. 458 00:31:22.799 --> 00:31:26.400 Yeah, that did not make him wondering if is what he does because 459 00:31:26.440 --> 00:31:30.319 we often talk about because of Evan Mike, how we all often talk about 460 00:31:30.599 --> 00:31:33.000 important he is to this team. Sure, you know he plays well. 461 00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:37.759 They play well because he does so many different things when he's when his game 462 00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:41.720 is up, it's up in so many areas of what they do. Defense, 463 00:31:41.799 --> 00:31:45.039 ball, handling. Uh, you know, making score some points, 464 00:31:45.079 --> 00:31:47.960 making some free throws. So in your guy, your group, do they 465 00:31:47.960 --> 00:31:52.599 say, yes he is Yeah, I totally agree he's. No he where 466 00:31:52.640 --> 00:31:55.160 would he play? He'd have to be a shooting too, And he's not 467 00:31:55.200 --> 00:31:56.880 a good shooting. He's not that good shot. He's a decent. Yeah, 468 00:31:56.880 --> 00:32:00.839 but this is the NBA you're paying millions to be Yeah, yeah, 469 00:32:00.839 --> 00:32:02.279 you gotta be really good. Yeah. I don't want a kind of sort 470 00:32:02.279 --> 00:32:07.960 of good doctor operating on. Yeah, I want an NBA doctor operated on. 471 00:32:08.839 --> 00:32:10.960 Well, okay, he's a good doctor. No, I don't want 472 00:32:10.960 --> 00:32:17.119 to do anyone. He's almost like not powerful enough. Yeah, he'll play 473 00:32:17.160 --> 00:32:20.279 pros somewhere though. Oh yeah, yeah, of course, make a ton 474 00:32:20.319 --> 00:32:24.079 of money. And he'll call me and say I don't know, I don't 475 00:32:24.079 --> 00:32:27.640 know. He's gonna have to find the right spot. The guy can shoot 476 00:32:27.640 --> 00:32:30.279 it, there's no question about that. Yeah. But let's remember too, 477 00:32:30.279 --> 00:32:35.799 and this is a bad comparison, uh with with oh I just had his 478 00:32:35.920 --> 00:32:37.960 name. He left because of uh, he's not because of Gilbert Arenas. 479 00:32:38.640 --> 00:32:43.480 And he went to the new Mexicano Ruben Nun Thanks you is good. Look 480 00:32:43.519 --> 00:32:46.799 at that pulled off so he left you because of Ruben Dougle, because of 481 00:32:47.359 --> 00:32:51.279 gilbert A. Renas. He scored twenty eight twenty nine points a game for 482 00:32:51.400 --> 00:32:53.640 New Mexico conscoot it, score it right. He was an NBA guy, 483 00:32:54.400 --> 00:32:57.839 but he got a lot of shots up. Yeah, so you know what 484 00:32:57.880 --> 00:33:00.640 I'm saying that you have to be a certain player. I'm looking. I'm 485 00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:05.240 looking to see you. I've got the NBA draft net up. You pulled 486 00:33:05.240 --> 00:33:09.799 that one from I don't really know it was good. He's got everything up 487 00:33:09.839 --> 00:33:15.039 on that computer. I know he's not a computer. I could have pulled 488 00:33:15.079 --> 00:33:16.559 will bind him if he said went to Georgia Tech, you could have pulled 489 00:33:16.599 --> 00:33:21.359 that too. You know, sometimes Steve, it's like right there and other 490 00:33:21.400 --> 00:33:27.319 times I don't know where it is. But yeah, let's go. Oh 491 00:33:27.599 --> 00:33:30.720 we're way over. We got to go because he's going to cost him in 492 00:33:30.720 --> 00:33:34.000 two minutes. All right, we got to get out of here. We'll 493 00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:37.640 be right back with Mike and Andrea and we'll talk to him about the Timmy 494 00:33:37.680 --> 00:33:40.079 Lloyd contracts back around.

If Youvey and his time as the a D I hope you got 542 00:37:19.800 --> 00:37:24.079 a raise. Yeah you know, I mean I had a very short stinted 543 00:37:24.159 --> 00:37:28.440 circle K a long time ago. So I don't know if that maybe Mike's 544 00:37:28.679 --> 00:37:30.960 Mike's had a job for a shorter amount of time. Here we go, 545 00:37:30.039 --> 00:37:37.679 here we comes. Let's take this Mike Candrea, is this you? This 546 00:37:37.880 --> 00:37:42.480 is me? How are you? What do we call you? Now? 547 00:37:42.760 --> 00:37:46.519 Are still the introm mate? No?

Have 549 00:37:51.400 --> 00:37:57.679 you ever had a job for a shorter amount of time than this? Absolutely? 550 00:37:57.719 --> 00:38:02.599 Not not not not like working a record, not like working at Circle 551 00:38:02.679 --> 00:38:07.280 K or McDonald's or something like that. Well maybe maybe I worked out a 552 00:38:07.320 --> 00:38:14.119 gold kart track one time a couple of days. How was how was your 553 00:38:14.519 --> 00:38:21.599 moment in the sun? It's been good? Did you have fun? Do 554 00:38:21.719 --> 00:38:23.960 you hear me? Yeah, we hear you. You know you probably got 555 00:38:24.000 --> 00:38:28.800 an echo, but trying to ignore that because it's our phone system. Is 556 00:38:28.880 --> 00:38:30.199 that better. Yes, yes, did you have you? I mean, 557 00:38:30.239 --> 00:38:34.840 have you been having fun? I have been having fun. I mean it's 558 00:38:34.840 --> 00:38:40.679 been it's been challenging. It's very enlightening to to get a I guess, 559 00:38:40.840 --> 00:38:46.639 thirty thousand foot view of everything. You know, when you're coaching, you're 560 00:38:46.719 --> 00:38:52.599 in the submarine, but you're only in a small submarine for your team. 561 00:38:52.679 --> 00:38:57.159 But here it's you get a little bit of everything. It's it's pretty daunting. 562 00:38:57.239 --> 00:39:00.559 It's it's quite a challenge, and especially in today's world. You know. 563 00:39:01.360 --> 00:39:06.000 So, Mike, I noticed you sitting or standing up in your area 564 00:39:06.000 --> 00:39:09.599 and obviously the president acknowledged you, and you're the goat. Obviously, how 565 00:39:09.679 --> 00:39:13.679 was I going to say this? Shoot? You know it is to get 566 00:39:13.719 --> 00:39:16.840 old. Oh. The one thing I noticed is you have you have your 567 00:39:17.000 --> 00:39:21.920 colleague slash, you know, the ideas and all that coming up to you 568 00:39:22.039 --> 00:39:24.199 and hugging you. I mean, people love you. People love you, 569 00:39:24.559 --> 00:39:29.559 and I know that's not your intention, but that's how much respect you've you've 570 00:39:29.719 --> 00:39:34.639 earned through the years. How does that feel? Well? God, you 571 00:39:34.719 --> 00:39:37.599 know, you just hope you've treated people right. And I love this place 572 00:39:37.679 --> 00:39:40.840 and I love the people, and you know, like I told them when 573 00:39:42.039 --> 00:39:45.199 when Bobby called, I said, I wanted to be a band aid for 574 00:39:45.320 --> 00:39:47.760 this little moment, but I wanted to be a good band aid. And 575 00:39:50.039 --> 00:39:54.599 I think hopefully it gave everyone a little bit of comfort that, you know, 576 00:39:54.679 --> 00:40:00.519 I could keep the chip sailing in the right direction and keep it out 577 00:40:00.559 --> 00:40:04.000 of troubled waters. And and it's it's been fun, you know, it's 578 00:40:05.280 --> 00:40:08.440 it's a wonderful place. I mean, I've forty years of blood, sweat 579 00:40:08.440 --> 00:40:13.559 and tears. It's it's kind of kind of hard to just walk away when 580 00:40:13.880 --> 00:40:16.960 when especially at a time like this, when it they need people, you 581 00:40:17.039 --> 00:40:21.920 know, And I think Desiree said it perfectly. We have to cook on 582 00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:27.760 to one another and continue to move forward. So did this hire happen a 583 00:40:27.800 --> 00:40:30.679 little quicker than maybe you expected? Did you think you're going to be doing 584 00:40:30.760 --> 00:40:32.079 this a little longer? I mean, what did you think? Where did 585 00:40:32.119 --> 00:40:36.000 you think the hiring thing was? When you when you agree to do this? 586 00:40:37.159 --> 00:40:40.639 You know, I did not know anything. Yeah, I definitely had 587 00:40:40.679 --> 00:40:44.400 no idea what the timeline was going to be. And like I told Bobby, 588 00:40:44.440 --> 00:40:46.000 whether he needed me for a day or a week, a month or 589 00:40:46.599 --> 00:40:51.199 a year, I was prepared to do what I could do for him. 590 00:40:51.239 --> 00:40:57.159 But yesterday about ten o'clock, I had gotten message that I was having a 591 00:40:57.199 --> 00:41:00.320 meeting with him, and that's when I found out. Oh well, and 592 00:41:00.800 --> 00:41:06.519 and and ten o two there was a a tickers saying that she was hired. 593 00:41:06.679 --> 00:41:12.360 So it happened very quickly. Yeah. But so, yeah, you 594 00:41:12.440 --> 00:41:15.639 weren't. You weren't involved in any of it then, is what I would 595 00:41:15.320 --> 00:41:20.360 like? All right? No, absolutely not. So how Kney deep were 596 00:41:20.400 --> 00:41:22.920 you able to get into anything right? Anything? Uh, the Tommy Lloyd 597 00:41:22.960 --> 00:41:30.880 contract, any anything, any involvement there with Tommy Lloyd. Yes, I 598 00:41:30.519 --> 00:41:36.559 definitely was a little bit. I mean, I'm definitely aware of what was 599 00:41:36.639 --> 00:41:42.239 going on there. And uh, yeah, that was that was kind of 600 00:41:42.320 --> 00:41:45.639 when I took took the chair, I said, you know, one of 601 00:41:45.679 --> 00:41:50.679 the priorities that we have right now to get done and number one was getting 602 00:41:50.719 --> 00:41:54.719 Tommy situated, and we got a chance to get that done. What are 603 00:41:54.760 --> 00:41:59.320 the surprises that I didn't know? I'm not sure why I didn't know that 604 00:41:59.440 --> 00:42:02.480 you were kind Heikey's right hand man, or at least assisted him for a 605 00:42:02.559 --> 00:42:07.800 couple of years. How did that help you kind of step in that role 606 00:42:07.880 --> 00:42:09.760 for a little bit because you kind of party already knew what was going on 607 00:42:10.199 --> 00:42:15.000 financially and otherwise, well not really. I mean, the role I was 608 00:42:16.079 --> 00:42:21.599 in with Dave was a special advisor to him, but basically my chore was 609 00:42:21.719 --> 00:42:30.199 to work with the head coaches and so I had a monthly breakfast every month 610 00:42:30.480 --> 00:42:37.559 with the head coaches and we just talked about you know, best practices and 611 00:42:37.360 --> 00:42:44.199 any issues that they had and felt like I could be a voice to get 612 00:42:44.239 --> 00:42:47.039 stuff up the ladder to Dave and give him a pulse on what our head 613 00:42:47.079 --> 00:42:51.360 coaches were thinking. And I thought it was very effective and worked well. 614 00:42:51.440 --> 00:42:54.119 And the reason why it works so well, I think is because of the 615 00:42:54.199 --> 00:42:59.480 involvement we had with Tommy Lloyd and Jeff Fish. You know, both were 616 00:43:00.360 --> 00:43:04.480 had a total buy in from them, and I think that made a huge 617 00:43:04.519 --> 00:43:07.719 difference with all the other head coaches to know that if it was important to 618 00:43:07.760 --> 00:43:12.000 them, then it should be important all of us. Well, this is 619 00:43:12.039 --> 00:43:13.920 a good group, man, I'll tell you. I love I love this 620 00:43:14.039 --> 00:43:16.880 coaching staff. I love the staff around here. I mean, we've got 621 00:43:16.960 --> 00:43:22.199 good people and we've had some challenging moments from COVID on. You know, 622 00:43:22.280 --> 00:43:28.079 it's been it's been rough, But I really believe that with the right leadership 623 00:43:28.119 --> 00:43:31.159 and sounds like desire will be the right one. She's been through it before, 624 00:43:32.280 --> 00:43:35.840 that we can come out on the other end in a better place. 625 00:43:36.079 --> 00:43:37.400 You know, I'm saying here thinking to be a fly on the wall or 626 00:43:37.719 --> 00:43:42.840 on the table or wherever around a meeting with all the all the head coaches 627 00:43:42.920 --> 00:43:45.440 that at Arizona. But what are from that? You know, what are 628 00:43:45.480 --> 00:43:47.960 the big issues? You know what what's kind of what are kind of the 629 00:43:49.079 --> 00:43:52.920 universal issues for the coaching staff and you know what's on their mind and how 630 00:43:53.000 --> 00:43:57.400 to do some of this stuff? Well, you know a lot of it 631 00:43:57.639 --> 00:44:01.840 was, I mean anything from recruiting, you know, how can we how 632 00:44:01.880 --> 00:44:07.159 can we get better at when we have people on campus to number one, 633 00:44:07.280 --> 00:44:12.559 say money number two to give them the best look at what this place is 634 00:44:12.599 --> 00:44:19.159 all about. And so we started doing a tailgate with football prior to football 635 00:44:19.239 --> 00:44:24.639 games, which helped everyone. But it was just a hodgepodge of different things. 636 00:44:24.760 --> 00:44:30.239 You know. Sometimes it was like for the first ten minutes a little 637 00:44:30.239 --> 00:44:34.920 bit of a bitch session, but then after that it became productive and and 638 00:44:35.960 --> 00:44:39.719 someone would step up with an issue, whether it's recruiting, or whether it's 639 00:44:40.039 --> 00:44:46.079 dealing with players or you know, mental game. I mean, there's so 640 00:44:46.199 --> 00:44:51.960 many different things that we had all this expertise in the room that unfortunately we 641 00:44:52.039 --> 00:44:55.000 were never getting together to share our own expertise. And I thought this would 642 00:44:55.000 --> 00:44:58.519 be a great venue to be able to put them all together in one run 643 00:44:58.559 --> 00:45:02.199 and use one another and use the expertise on one another. And you know 644 00:45:02.480 --> 00:45:07.920 it was it was fun. Well, it's funny you call it a bit 645 00:45:07.000 --> 00:45:10.239 session, but that's when you really get to air things out and speak your 646 00:45:10.280 --> 00:45:14.639 mind. I mean, that's how things get solved. Yeah, there's no 647 00:45:14.800 --> 00:45:16.960 doubt. I think that one thing we learned was that, you know, 648 00:45:17.079 --> 00:45:22.880 if we could have a collective voice on something, that it probably will get 649 00:45:22.960 --> 00:45:25.360 done a lot quicker than if we have twenty people. But you know, 650 00:45:27.199 --> 00:45:31.880 bitch about something but not really falling on the right ears. And so I 651 00:45:32.039 --> 00:45:37.559 try to walk out of there every time with a kind of a plan to 652 00:45:37.599 --> 00:45:42.239 bring to Dave about you know, here's here's the three top things that I 653 00:45:42.360 --> 00:45:45.559 see right now that we need to start taking a look at. And a 654 00:45:45.599 --> 00:45:47.840 lot of it, you know, was the big twelve transition. And I 655 00:45:47.880 --> 00:45:52.079 mean there's so many things right now that are moving parts that it just gave 656 00:45:52.199 --> 00:45:57.199 us a chance to sit down and talk. Is one one collective group. 657 00:45:57.800 --> 00:46:01.599 So one of the things that desirely talked about bringing the group together no egos. 658 00:46:02.320 --> 00:46:06.199 And I just told Jay earlier, says, come on, you have 659 00:46:06.440 --> 00:46:10.480 a group of good coaches who are very good at what they do, very 660 00:46:10.519 --> 00:46:14.000 good at what you do. They wouldn't be here otherwise than they're successful. 661 00:46:14.440 --> 00:46:17.039 How do you not have an ego? But if that's a requirement of no 662 00:46:17.159 --> 00:46:22.159 egos, there's a little you know, okay, a step back from them 663 00:46:22.280 --> 00:46:24.960 or requirement. Well, yeah, they all they all have egos, but 664 00:46:25.039 --> 00:46:29.400 they all have the same common goal, you know. And I think that 665 00:46:30.400 --> 00:46:34.800 that's the nice part about coaching is it's a fraternity and we all have a 666 00:46:34.840 --> 00:46:37.719 different process to get to the end result. But we all know what the 667 00:46:37.800 --> 00:46:42.599 end result looks like and feels like, and you know, there's challenges along 668 00:46:42.679 --> 00:46:44.960 the way. We know that the process isn't a straight line, you know, 669 00:46:45.039 --> 00:46:49.079 it's sometimes a crooked line to get there. And so I just think 670 00:46:49.639 --> 00:46:53.360 when coaches can get together and listen to other coaches, number one, realize 671 00:46:53.400 --> 00:46:59.840 that they all have the same issues. But number two that there's a lot 672 00:46:59.880 --> 00:47:06.079 of different approaches to get there. You know, Tommy is a very unique 673 00:47:06.800 --> 00:47:08.400 guy. I mean, his teams look like they have fun, and he's 674 00:47:08.440 --> 00:47:13.159 a very good communicator. And you know, Jed, on the other hand, 675 00:47:13.320 --> 00:47:17.679 was a little different because he has so many different guys that it's being 676 00:47:17.719 --> 00:47:22.480 able to manage the people underneath him to get the job done. And then 677 00:47:22.519 --> 00:47:29.480 you have, you know, sports like tennis that you know you're kind of 678 00:47:29.519 --> 00:47:32.719 at bare bones and it's an individual sport, but it's also a team sport. 679 00:47:32.840 --> 00:47:37.599 So I think we all have a lot in common, and sometimes it's 680 00:47:38.679 --> 00:47:44.960 learning different verbiage or getting a better idea of how to communicate something I think 681 00:47:45.119 --> 00:47:46.960 is the gift of coaching. You know, That's why I think we all 682 00:47:47.000 --> 00:47:51.239 go to coaches clinics. It's not like the game's going to change, but 683 00:47:51.360 --> 00:47:54.559 sometimes how people do it and how people say it can make a difference. 684 00:47:55.000 --> 00:47:59.840 So what I'm certain, I'm certain there were a lot of fans out there 685 00:47:59.840 --> 00:48:04.320 who got a little uneasy when it came out that Tommy's contract hadn't been done, 686 00:48:04.400 --> 00:48:07.360 that they were closed and now it might not be done for a while, 687 00:48:07.400 --> 00:48:09.880 and stuff like that. From where you sat both as the intermad but 688 00:48:09.920 --> 00:48:15.199 also is it just somebody in the department. Is there sort of a everybody 689 00:48:15.360 --> 00:48:19.039 taking a deep breath now and saying, Okay, we got everything kind of 690 00:48:19.159 --> 00:48:22.519 set. Now we can move on. How do get I think it's been 691 00:48:22.559 --> 00:48:25.719 a while since we've been able to kind of take a deep breath and feel 692 00:48:25.760 --> 00:48:30.639 good about what's in front of us. And I think right now, you 693 00:48:30.719 --> 00:48:32.360 know, I feel good with our football program. I think Brent Brownham is 694 00:48:32.360 --> 00:48:37.639 going to be a wonderful leader. He is going to be tremendous in his 695 00:48:37.800 --> 00:48:42.800 community. He's a dictomy Disciples who I love dearly, and you know, 696 00:48:43.000 --> 00:48:46.719 he his son means something to him. And I think Tommy has proven a 697 00:48:46.800 --> 00:48:52.000 point that this is a very important part of his future because he wants to 698 00:48:52.079 --> 00:48:54.719 be here. And I can't. I can't think of a better person to 699 00:48:54.800 --> 00:48:59.920 run our programs. And then I mean, we just we have a whole 700 00:49:00.039 --> 00:49:02.239 list of good coaches here. I mean, I think Idias had one of 701 00:49:02.280 --> 00:49:08.039 her best years ever as a coach, taking what she's got and doing the 702 00:49:08.119 --> 00:49:12.880 josh he's doing right now. And you know, Chip Hale and Caitlin and 703 00:49:13.159 --> 00:49:15.960 and I mean the list goes on and on and on if we have some 704 00:49:16.119 --> 00:49:23.679 really good people that love Tucson and love this university and will continue to work 705 00:49:23.719 --> 00:49:29.599 hard. So Disrae starts March the third. Are you going to stick around 706 00:49:29.840 --> 00:49:32.480 in a role similar or are you going to become Jay and I and just 707 00:49:32.559 --> 00:49:38.039 kind of slubber out? You know, that's a good question. I think 708 00:49:38.119 --> 00:49:45.320 my my present contract with Dave was up like in June, and and but 709 00:49:45.440 --> 00:49:47.199 I think I'll have a conversation with her and see where she wants to go 710 00:49:47.280 --> 00:49:51.079 and if I can be of any help. You know, I'll definitely be 711 00:49:51.199 --> 00:49:52.880 around. But you know what, I can't wait to get back on the 712 00:49:52.920 --> 00:49:57.079 golf course. Of course. I guess the bigger question is do you have 713 00:49:57.199 --> 00:50:00.719 to go back and share an office with Danny Martinez? You know, I 714 00:50:00.840 --> 00:50:04.320 gave it up to Danny, and I don't think he's gonna let me back 715 00:50:04.360 --> 00:50:07.800 in, so I may have to I may have to just put my bag 716 00:50:07.920 --> 00:50:12.480 down when I come uh in there. And but you know, Danny's uh, 717 00:50:12.679 --> 00:50:15.880 Danny's He's been a servant for me for a lot of years, and 718 00:50:15.519 --> 00:50:20.800 I owe him a bunch and I'd love to see that he's enjoying what he's 719 00:50:20.840 --> 00:50:24.280 doing well. I think the two side appreciates you. You've a definitely appreciate 720 00:50:24.360 --> 00:50:27.239 you. You're one of the dudes. I mean, you're you are a 721 00:50:27.320 --> 00:50:30.320 goat. You're a goating in probably and just normal because you're a normal dude 722 00:50:30.519 --> 00:50:34.639 who happens to be very good at what he does. Yeah, well, 723 00:50:34.679 --> 00:50:37.960 I appreciate that, you know. It's it's this place has been a blessing 724 00:50:37.039 --> 00:50:42.199 for me, and you know, it's hard. What's really scary is that 725 00:50:42.320 --> 00:50:45.400 I look back now and next year will be forty years and I don't even 726 00:50:45.440 --> 00:50:50.760 feel like I'm forty years old. But it's time goes by very quickly when 727 00:50:50.800 --> 00:50:53.039 you enjoy what you're doing. And I must say that I've enjoyed my time 728 00:50:53.079 --> 00:50:57.559 here at Arizona, and hopefully I've made a little bit of an impact. 729 00:50:57.639 --> 00:51:00.480 And now it's it's being able to give back, you know, And that's 730 00:51:00.039 --> 00:51:04.119 I kind of what everyone does at certain times in their life. Mike and 731 00:51:04.199 --> 00:51:07.079 Andrea, thank you very much for your time. Get back to work. 732 00:51:07.480 --> 00:51:08.880 The world's probably you know what.

If you don't have him on your Mount Rushmore, you've a you're 740 00:51:37.840 --> 00:51:40.639 something you've missed.

I've seen a lot of beatdowns. There's 755 00:52:35.559 --> 00:52:37.239 been a lot. To me, I thought, forty five that's nothing. 756 00:52:37.639 --> 00:52:43.079 It was it was between forty five is a lot. Yeah, it's a 757 00:52:43.119 --> 00:52:46.960 lot to lose.
