WEBVTT 1 00:00:02.600 --> 00:00:07.639 This is I on the Ball with Steve Rivera and Jay Gonzalez on Fox Sports 2 00:00:07.679 --> 00:00:14.359 fourteen fifty powered by Nova Insurance Services and Sure Your Most Prized Possessions kt c 3 00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:19.719 R two SAD at iHeartRadio Station. Good afternoon, everybody, welcome to Eye 4 00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:23.160 on the Ball here on Fox Sports fourteen fifty. I'm Steve Rivera, He's 5 00:00:23.239 --> 00:00:28.559 Jagan Zaliz. We got our guy Kevin in this day, Monday, and 6 00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:32.920 it seems to me that the sun is unshining, although you can't see it 7 00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:35.880 because the basketball team is fine, both men's and the women. It's a 8 00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:38.920 little cloudy out there. But yes, the sun did come up again for 9 00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:41.960 Arizona. You have a big win on Saturday, well even more so, 10 00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:49.960 and then Asu lost. I loved somebody somebody on Twitter put out but it 11 00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:54.679 just said Washington State's time in first place in the Pac twelve and it was 12 00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:57.600 a video of Aaron Rodgers running out with the flag in the game where he 13 00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:02.000 got injured like two plays into the game. Incredible. There's always a tweet 14 00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:03.560 like that. Somebody always comes up with something clever, right, that's pretty 15 00:01:03.599 --> 00:01:07.480 funny. Well, well thank you, I wrote that right away once it 16 00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:11.519 happened, and the big fans didn't want to thank his shoe. I'll never 17 00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:15.480 think his shoe fans is that, but hey, you take what you can 18 00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:18.719 get. Yeah, you know, it's it's funny because I look, I 19 00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:22.519 never cheer for Arizona State. I just don't. But there are Okay, 20 00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:25.040 did you watch the game? Yeah? R okay. I sat there and 21 00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:26.599 I watched that game like I was watching an Arizona game. Did you cheer 22 00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:30.920 them? I did? Okay, Wow, I did. I cussed him 23 00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:34.040 because you know they were they got a big lead and then they led him 24 00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:36.920 back in it. And I mean, I watched that game like I'm watch 25 00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:40.359 an Arizona game because you know it was it was that big. And I 26 00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:42.239 said, here's the funny thing, and I'm gonna I gotta give these guys 27 00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:46.159 a little props. Both, you know, on either side of me at 28 00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:49.519 uh you at the at the table on Saturday. You know, my son 29 00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:53.359 Adam is on one said, actually he was a little further down with another 30 00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:55.560 duty, but he came and sat next to me after the game. And 31 00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:57.760 my brother Jean on the other side. Both of those guys said, as 32 00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:01.920 you will lose. I mean that issue would be Washington that. Yeah, 33 00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:06.239 it wasn't a major shock because of you know, you've been covering. We 34 00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:07.560 talk about this all the time, and everyone says, well, how does 35 00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:12.199 this happen? Happens all the time, the get up game and and and 36 00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:16.560 that's when Arizona remember when Arizona and Issue were good together. It happens very 37 00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:21.759 rarely, but when it happens, it's a one two, not a juggernaut, 38 00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:23.719 but it's a one two bunch. It was hard, yeah, because 39 00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:24.719 you have to survive both of them, not just one of them. I 40 00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:30.039 mean in Washington State looked nothing like the team they were not Thursday night. 41 00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:32.879 It wasn't even I mean, well it's like you know, Isaac Jones, 42 00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:38.960 and and and and and and uh and Rice and the guy the number zero 43 00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:42.280 you who made all those three pointers. Well, none of those guys look 44 00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:45.919 like they looked on Well you saw here, here's the case. And I 45 00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:50.759 truly believe in this stuff. Uh. The coach what's his name, the 46 00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:55.400 Smith Smith did some great celebrating in the post game blocker room. Yep, 47 00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:00.479 forty eight hours. He couldn't do that. They were already celebrating that that 48 00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:04.000 victory and maybe the weekend, like they thought like they had won the league 49 00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:08.840 because they thought they had happens all the time. Well, that that whole 50 00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:13.199 you know, the way the pack puff schedule is configured where you've got you 51 00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:15.719 know, Thursday Saturday or Thursday Sunday game. That second game is always a 52 00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:20.240 hard game, and it always it's always affected by what happens on Thursday night, 53 00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:23.520 no question, it's like next week, next week when they go to 54 00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:25.319 l A. They play u c l A Thursday, right, and then 55 00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:29.319 US see the next Saturday, I think it's Saturday. No, No, 56 00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:32.280 it's u c l A Thursday Saturday. So even if you flip flopped them 57 00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:36.240 because bigger game, blah blah blah, because you got to get it from 58 00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:38.520 now, you've got to get it for both games. I would like to 59 00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:43.319 think that in Arizona's case, playing u c l A first is better? 60 00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:46.240 Is better? Yeah, they go play LA. If you beat them, 61 00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:51.439 you know US is bad. Except they weren't bad well Saturday because they got 62 00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:54.080 up for the game, right and they're healthier now. Right. But you 63 00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:58.759 know, I think you say, Arizona would have a better shot of beating 64 00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:01.879 u c U S coming off of a UCLA win. Then you know, 65 00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:04.280 they go in and have a nice win against USC. Now they got to 66 00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:08.439 play UCLA. It's the second game of the weekend. It's a little harder. 67 00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:11.360 So we'll get to that point next week when we get there. But 68 00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:15.279 they did recover. I didn't think they recovered as well as they should have 69 00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:19.000 because they were kicking the crab by and it's again once again. Oh wow, 70 00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:23.399 these guys are playing really well and then what happened. It just kind 71 00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:26.240 of went flat in the second half a little bit. Yeah, yeah, 72 00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:30.560 and that happens too. But still, this team, this team, and 73 00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:32.560 I know we don't have access to Tommy, I would ask him. I 74 00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:36.160 would ask him, does this team frustrate you as much as it frustrates people, 75 00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:40.920 because it's come on, in one half they look fantastic, the other 76 00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:45.600 half they look so So guess what happens next month. You can't do it 77 00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:49.839 right, you can't play so so yeah, there's no wiggle room. Yeah, 78 00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:54.600 you know you're hundre percent correct, and you know that's gonna be interesting 79 00:04:54.639 --> 00:05:00.879 to see. But it seems like you like to you like to say that 80 00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:08.079 one because of what happened in Princeton last year, right, that everybody is 81 00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:11.279 going to have their full attention. Is that what you just never know is 82 00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:14.759 that your teaching moment that everyone talks about, Well, you're learning more like 83 00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:16.480 to think it is. But you know the look, Caleb Love wasn't on 84 00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:23.279 that team. Uh Tishad Johnson wasn't on that team. But on the other 85 00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:27.519 hand, those two guys have seen the promise, so you would think that 86 00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:31.279 the two of them would like, dudes, we cannot be you know, 87 00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:36.000 taking taking off a half or even you know, a segment from one TV 88 00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:40.079 time. They've been doing this all their lives, all their lives. Yeah, 89 00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:44.160 you think they nobody now, right, all their lives. They just 90 00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:46.879 can't. And I remember last year when they played Princeton. The one thing 91 00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:51.519 that Kyra did justin Kya did when the introduction line, what did he fail 92 00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:56.279 to do? Shake the other dude's hands? And they said felt disrespectful. 93 00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:59.000 Oh I remember that, and he says, what what did you just do 94 00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:02.079 to me? You guys so you got to respect opponents? Uh, let 95 00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:04.720 me ask you something, each of you. What did you what was your 96 00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:11.319 takeaway from third from satur from Saturday's game your biggest thing? And I have 97 00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:15.439 my own That's why I asked nothing really really, I mean, they won 98 00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:18.519 the game that they were supposed to win, the game they were never they 99 00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:24.240 were never really threatened. Just that, you know, they did what they 100 00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:27.120 needed to do. That's okay. Honestly, I kind of feel the same 101 00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:30.120 way. I didn't really walk out of the arena and feel any one specific 102 00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:32.839 thing that stuck out to me the most. I think there was a little 103 00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:36.279 bit of I almost expected them to win a little bit more decisively, yea, 104 00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:39.680 but it wasn't like it was ever in question like Jayson. It was 105 00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:43.240 decisive though they won by sixteen. Okay, so let me maybe you'll chan 106 00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:49.480 change your minds with this uh shot. Uh Tommy getting on bosswell, and 107 00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:56.279 I made the point of asking him about that because yelled at him and got 108 00:06:56.319 --> 00:06:59.240 on him and and and put him to the bench and then brought him back 109 00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:00.720 and he played better, much better. And Tommy, I says, you 110 00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:04.120 know, everyone saw it, we all saw it. Your your thoughts on 111 00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:08.439 getting on him, and and how were you pleased to what happened? And 112 00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:10.800 he said, yeah, I hate to do stuff like that. And it's 113 00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:14.759 funny a coach hating to do stuff like that, you know, Alost apologizing. 114 00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:23.120 No, So I thought that was needed and essential to to Boswell because 115 00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:26.560 he looked disinterested. He looked like you saw the tapes. I'm sure, 116 00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:30.000 like you know, don't talk to me like that. And he and he 117 00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:33.160 that came on a play where he played horrible. It was horrible and he 118 00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:36.759 lost the ball and he lost the remember just previous to that, they stole 119 00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:41.480 the ball from him at half court. Ye, So I think I don't 120 00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:43.959 know if that's going to get him right, but he used to got his 121 00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:47.240 attention. Yeah, and and that that, yeah, I mean that again, 122 00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:50.399 that's been the big the big thing that people are scratching their heads about 123 00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:55.319 what's up the season is what's up with Colin Boswell? You know, I 124 00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:59.120 mean to the point where you think you have some sort of a personal issue 125 00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:03.040 going on that his mind is not on on his games been so good. 126 00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:11.279 There's a lot of internet speculations on campus to talking. I won't go there 127 00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:13.439 because it's too personal and I don't really care about that. So we don't 128 00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:16.600 know anything right right, right, We're not that group. You know. 129 00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:20.720 It does make you wonder, but no, I remember seeing that we all, 130 00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:22.800 you know, we all at the table like whoa, whoa, whoa 131 00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:26.519 whoa. Yeah, you know, yeah, so I think that's a good 132 00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:28.720 that was a good thing. Obviously he wasn't at me, so it was 133 00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:33.600 it was as well, So lose baby steps because guess time is running out, 134 00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:37.080 man. Yeah, well again, you know, but but you know, 135 00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:39.080 I mean, the thing that we hear is that no matter how far 136 00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:43.039 into the season you are, you have to keep getting better. Right right 137 00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:46.279 now is not the time to say, Okay, this is as good as 138 00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:48.879 we're going to get. And so there's still things that they need to do, 139 00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:54.080 whether you call him, that they need to fix or progress that they 140 00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:58.399 need to make, and and so you know, there's it's always trying to 141 00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:01.960 advance and be better than they were the game before. And that's you know 142 00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:05.080 that that's an effort towards that. So yeah, I completely I completely forgot 143 00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:09.559 about that. Again, you don't you forget about stuff like that. When 144 00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:11.519 they win the game, you think, okay, everything was fine. They 145 00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:13.279 won the game, They were never threatened. They took a big lead early. 146 00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:18.960 I know, they led by a bunch, but you know, and 147 00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:20.759 it got down to you know, single digits in the second half, but 148 00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:24.200 there was never a point you thought they're gonna lose this game. Now, 149 00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:28.639 if you had the fourteen and a half on Friday that could have gotten on 150 00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:31.960 Friday night versus the sixteen and a half that you got on Saturday, you're 151 00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:33.759 not very happy if you had sixteen and a half, right, And it 152 00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:37.720 was just little things, just you know, turnovers and poor shots, and 153 00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:41.000 it is what it is. They won by sixteen, so that's a good 154 00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:43.559 thing. And then the women, the women pulled off a dumb my god, 155 00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:46.320 pull off a double that was unexpected. Well well, I mean we 156 00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:48.679 talked about it on briefly. Briefly No, no Friday. No, that's 157 00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:50.679 right, it's Friday night. So we did. I mean, we just 158 00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:56.200 talked about the game being okay. We just got confirmation a Dea Barnes gonna 159 00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:58.919 be on the show tomorrow, Fantastice. We're gonna talk about it. So 160 00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:01.960 I don't know if she's listening or if somebody over there is listening, and 161 00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:05.799 if you are, don't tell her. But I'm gonna say, I'm gonna 162 00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:09.559 admit that I didn't even watch a game on Friday night. Why am I 163 00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:13.159 gonna sit down and watch Arizona get blown out at Stanford had other things to 164 00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:16.759 do, and as I didn't really have other things, I was watching a 165 00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:18.080 movie. I don't even remember what I was watching. I didn't watch a 166 00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:20.159 game. All of a sudden, my daughter comes out of the out of 167 00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:24.759 the room and says, Arizona be Stanford. I'm like in basketball, and 168 00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:28.919 she goes, yeah, I like in women's basketball. She goes yeah, 169 00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:33.960 come on, and you know. And then I immediately shot over to Twitter 170 00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:37.960 to see what's going and saw highlights and it's late as I think three minutes 171 00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:41.679 left in the game, they were still down eight or nine, Yeah, 172 00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:45.840 and came back and one because they outscored in like thirty one sixteen. Well, 173 00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:50.720 and the game was sixty one all and Arizona outscored scored the last seven 174 00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:52.279 points for the game. But the game, so to use the point of 175 00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:58.480 Arizona beating Stanford, guess what it happens. Conversely, didn't you see the 176 00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:05.120 you follow me on Twitter? I'm like me, per No, you don't, 177 00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:09.240 but I do. I tweeted, what the hell? I know what 178 00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:13.279 He's right, This is exactly what I to I was gonna put it out 179 00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:20.000 on a as a as A did I put it out on my Twitter account, 180 00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:24.679 and I said, for those of you still grieving Arizona's loss to WAZU 181 00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:31.039 on Thursday night, this stuff happened. Does happen exactly? Answers a great 182 00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:35.519 tweet, right and and and and it was and it was a retweet of 183 00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:39.840 of the Arizona BA women's basketball Twitter account that said this just happened. And 184 00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:45.120 I said, this happened, It does it does happen. You could be 185 00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:46.879 on both sides of it at any time, at any time. The game 186 00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:50.559 we talked about, you know, before we went on the air, Oha 187 00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:54.720 State had lost seventeen straight road games. They go to Michigan State, They're 188 00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:56.679 getting their asses kicked the whole game, and they went on a buzzer beater 189 00:11:56.759 --> 00:12:01.679 in overtime to beat Michigan State, Michigan State a game that could cost Michigan 190 00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:07.360 State even getting into the tournament. You know, those things just happen to 191 00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:09.519 do. And you could go through any sport, any team. It happens 192 00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:13.639 all the time, especially to the to the degree of big good teams. 193 00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:16.080 I want to also talk about, because I'm not sure we'll be talking about 194 00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:20.279 this is a national story. The court Stoparts and Sean it was kind of 195 00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:24.200 the Sean Miller rule right here, because who's going to courch from other schools 196 00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:28.440 except for Arizona. Right when you showed up, it happened here a lot. 197 00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:31.360 Yeah, and you know, how do you prevent them? You win 198 00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:37.600 the game. But now it's going to be changed. Probably there's been a 199 00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:41.000 lot of a lot of stuff, a lot of people throwing stuff out about 200 00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:45.399 how you can work on No, no, no, no whatever. They 201 00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:48.519 you're not going to prevent kids. Await sixty minutes and sixty seconds. They 202 00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:52.440 want to go. Now it's a celebration. Now. You don't want the 203 00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:56.360 delayed gratification, of course, like when the New Year's ball drops. You 204 00:12:56.399 --> 00:12:58.759 don't want to wait another five seconds ago, you know, to do the 205 00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:01.600 thing right. But the funny think about it, and not funny the ironic 206 00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:05.879 team or whatever word. It took a guy from Duke from Duke. That's 207 00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:11.440 my change, that's my thing. We saw kid here at who's on high, 208 00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:18.559 the kid who got hurt badly. The guy had a life altering injury. 209 00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:22.559 I'm gonna try to truck him down and see because but it took a 210 00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:26.840 Duke guy to change the narrative. Well, and and I want to I 211 00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:30.480 want to break this down some more. You know, on the other side 212 00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:33.840 of our guests, we should say, had guess Jim Monico is coming on, 213 00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:37.200 athletic director of Pima coming on in a few minutes. And then in 214 00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:39.480 the second half, Greg Hanson, we invited him on to talk about the 215 00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:43.120 new athletic directory. Had a long piece and is a Sunday column yesterday. 216 00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:48.320 But Greg is one of the few surviving people in the community who have worked 217 00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:52.639 with all the athletic directors dating back to said Dempsey, So we would kind 218 00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:54.519 of get hit some of his input on that. But anyway, the point 219 00:13:54.559 --> 00:14:00.240 I was gonna make, uh was I forgot the point I was we were 220 00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:03.559 talking about I know we're talking about well, uh, I was I going 221 00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:05.919 to say something really important? It was? It was. It was a 222 00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:09.360 really good, good point about this. But you might want to tweet it 223 00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:16.039 out. But yeah, but you know, as but as you said, 224 00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:18.679 you know, it took it took somebody from from Duke. You know, 225 00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:26.200 oh, somebody said, uh, we have to keep we have to work 226 00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:28.879 on this, or somebody is going to get hurt. Like dudes, people 227 00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:33.279 have been getting hurt for decades in court storm. That's that's that's what I 228 00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:37.159 was thinking, that everything's like yesterday. But now that the Duke guy got 229 00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:39.919 hurt. Oh, he's the first guy to ever get hurt. And it's 230 00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:45.240 crazy because Kaitlyn Clark got bodied. But that was I'm not saying it. 231 00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:48.960 I'm not saying it was you. But it's just you know, it takes 232 00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:52.200 a special there. Yeah, there's some things that we got And I do 233 00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:54.720 want to talk about this some more because I tweeted so I could read it 234 00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:56.679 in a big ish I'm not you know what, I'm not talking to you 235 00:14:56.679 --> 00:15:00.000 the rest of the day.

Hey, welcome back to I I on the ball 309 00:20:21.839 --> 00:20:25.000 here on Fox Sports fourteen fifteen. I'm Steve Rivera. He's jagan Zaus. 310 00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:29.200 Now on the phone, we have Jim Monico the Pima aztecs A d for 311 00:20:29.400 --> 00:20:36.880 the next couple of months and then righting off into the sunset one month. 312 00:20:40.920 --> 00:20:48.640 To be clear, I don't think you're looking forward to it, you know. 313 00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:52.000 I mean to say something. I saw a story a while back, 314 00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:56.640 and I've kind of kind of knew something was going on last semester, but 315 00:20:56.759 --> 00:21:00.720 you kind of just thought recently or in the Chris it was time, right. 316 00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:07.119 Yeah, that really it kind of solidified what I was thinking. Because 317 00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:15.519 you're you're a young man. What are you gonna do hopefully grow older without 318 00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:21.880 stress? Do you already have I mean, forty three years I've been working 319 00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:26.920 and not full time, you know, more than full time because you're coaching 320 00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:30.799 and whether a police officer off duty work, you're always ninety one hundred dollars 321 00:21:30.839 --> 00:21:33.400 a week, So you just kind of get a beaten and I guess I 322 00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:38.880 kind of I kind of burn out a little quicker because I probably exude a 323 00:21:38.880 --> 00:21:42.599 little too much energy. So do you already have like a long list of 324 00:21:44.480 --> 00:21:47.000 things that you're going to do in books that you're going to read that you're 325 00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:48.960 really never going to get to because you're going to be busier than you were 326 00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:55.200 before. Let me tell you I was stupid enough to get that second master's 327 00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:59.599 degree and I haven't read a book in about nine years. I'll make sure 328 00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:04.839 you read my and just make sure so so, and we'll get to that 329 00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:08.920 in a bit. Let's kind of go back to the final months or days 330 00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:12.440 for you. How has this year been knowing that this is gonna happen? 331 00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:18.319 You know, I I had it in the back of my mind that I 332 00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:22.240 was thinking it was just probably time. But you know, I've been trying 333 00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:27.079 to get things done at a little quicker pace. There are a few things 334 00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:33.240 I wanted to finish up, and I'm trying to get to them because I 335 00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:37.519 want to make sure when I go that not only did I try to leave 336 00:22:37.559 --> 00:22:41.400 it better, but finished everything that I wanted to get done. Well, 337 00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:45.000 you know, going to that, I mean there's obviously some things even right 338 00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:48.759 now that you can say, Okay, I left these things. These things 339 00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:49.880 already in place, they are going to be in place when I leave. 340 00:22:51.400 --> 00:22:55.480 These are areas that I think we've already done a great job, that you've 341 00:22:55.480 --> 00:22:59.359 done a great job with over time. What are some of those things, 342 00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:03.200 you know? I think getting the fields to where they were now, getting 343 00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:08.480 our study haul set up for athletes so that they had an opportunity to you 344 00:23:08.519 --> 00:23:12.400 know, it's not like the college doesn't help them, but because their schedules 345 00:23:12.400 --> 00:23:17.000 are so different, they need times when they can get there. So having 346 00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:22.119 that set up for them, getting our coaches full time that that was a 347 00:23:22.119 --> 00:23:26.000 big deal for me. I thought they deserved it, and the college agreed. 348 00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:29.839 When I pushed it forward. You know, a couple of things that 349 00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:33.920 I didn't get finished yet that are in the works is redoing all the backsops 350 00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:38.480 for baseball softball because they're old. But that's in the works and should be 351 00:23:38.519 --> 00:23:41.559 done by the end of the summer. And then we have in the work 352 00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:45.480 trying to get their scoreboards replaced. I've raised the money to do that, 353 00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:48.359 so just there are a few things left that I just wanted to get done 354 00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:52.119 and make sure that you know, if they weren't done, they were at 355 00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:56.240 least in the work so the next person can pick it up and keep moving 356 00:23:56.279 --> 00:23:59.160 forward. And I think you've been there about five years, right, I 357 00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:03.680 can remember a lot of the candidates were, you know, coaches there and 358 00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:08.319 you've got the job. How fun has it been or is it still not 359 00:24:08.400 --> 00:24:12.000 so much fun? No, I'll be dead serious with withft you. I 360 00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:18.000 love this. I mean, in all honesty, it's really in my wheelhouse. 361 00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:23.000 I've been able to get some stuff done. I've got such an amazing 362 00:24:23.079 --> 00:24:27.400 support staff as far as at the college and in in our coaches and our 363 00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:32.799 players that just they work so hard and it's just, uh, you know, 364 00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:34.920 if people keep saying, you know, what did you do. I 365 00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:38.279 don't know what I did. I just came in with an attitude and an 366 00:24:38.319 --> 00:24:42.400 idea and everybody jumped on board. And if if they didn't, I wouldn't 367 00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:48.200 have been successful. True, Yeah yeah yeah. Uh. And and then 368 00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:51.440 you, I mean, certainly the coaches that you put together over there, 369 00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:53.960 you know, we are none of us know how long they'll be there after 370 00:24:53.960 --> 00:24:57.160 you're gone, but you're certainly going to leave a coaching staff behind. It's 371 00:24:57.240 --> 00:25:02.599 uh, you know, pretty Uh, it's done pretty well for themselves, 372 00:25:02.640 --> 00:25:07.599 been amazing for themselves. They're incredible. I mean, come on, our 373 00:25:07.680 --> 00:25:11.759 athletics from top to bottom. I mean, we're getting ready to go to 374 00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:17.839 nationals with all our qualifiers from track and we're taking thirty eight student athletes. 375 00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:22.640 Thirty eight that's just incredible. We have a shot to take a national championship 376 00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:26.000 there and come home with a bunch of national champions So, I mean, 377 00:25:26.039 --> 00:25:30.640 it's just it's just from one sport to another, there's no real drop off, 378 00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:33.559 and it's been great and the graves have been still have been great, 379 00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:37.680 So I mean, you don't get much better than that. So I'm not 380 00:25:37.720 --> 00:25:40.160 from here as we know, and Jay, I don't know how much you 381 00:25:40.240 --> 00:25:41.759 paid attention. But I've always said, and I said this to you, 382 00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:45.400 Jim Pemo's kind of plaking a back seat to Arizona for a long time. 383 00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:48.240 It's done this and you know this. I'm not telling you anything you don't 384 00:25:48.240 --> 00:25:52.559 already know. But in the recent years, and I couldn't tell you how 385 00:25:52.640 --> 00:25:57.279 long ago, that this situation that you're in now has kind of like the 386 00:25:57.279 --> 00:26:02.440 Glory years. I could be misspeaking. I don't know athletically, but soccer 387 00:26:02.519 --> 00:26:07.440 is nationally known, boys and girls, the basketball our scores teams like crazy, 388 00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:12.079 both men and women. It's just so many things. Where would you 389 00:26:12.200 --> 00:26:18.559 put this glory years? Am I overstayed in it? You know? I 390 00:26:18.599 --> 00:26:22.039 don't know. I mean, I've been in Tucson thirty four years, so 391 00:26:22.680 --> 00:26:26.480 I've seen a lot. But you know, you have to. It's so 392 00:26:26.640 --> 00:26:30.640 hard because I just I'm just I've never been that kind of guy. I 393 00:26:30.440 --> 00:26:34.519 enjoy winning, and but you can't look at yourself and go, I did 394 00:26:34.559 --> 00:26:40.400 this. You know. Maybe it's because right now we have had coaches on 395 00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:45.839 campus full time except for tracking golf. You know that that allows them to 396 00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:49.640 make the student athlete a little more accountable because they're there all the time and 397 00:26:49.680 --> 00:26:53.000 they can see what they're doing and making sure they get into classes and practices 398 00:26:53.039 --> 00:26:56.480 and weight room. So I mean as far as winning, no, I 399 00:26:56.559 --> 00:27:00.960 don't. I don't think we've ever been a success full as we are right 400 00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:03.400 now. But that's not because of me. I think it's because a lot 401 00:27:03.400 --> 00:27:08.759 of things that we've put in place and and got to happen that hadn't happened 402 00:27:08.759 --> 00:27:12.200 in past years. Right, Edgar Soto did a great job. I mean, 403 00:27:12.279 --> 00:27:17.799 Larry Tledo started athletics, so and they were practicing and hangars down at 404 00:27:17.799 --> 00:27:22.119 the airport. So you know, to say that I don't know, I 405 00:27:22.519 --> 00:27:26.440 know we're doing incredible and people are very happy about it. And and it's 406 00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:30.640 just and listen, we don't and I told you this a bunch of times. 407 00:27:30.759 --> 00:27:33.079 If it isn't for you and the and the Moralesies and and the and 408 00:27:33.119 --> 00:27:37.799 the kvoas and everything else, we don't, Greg Hanson, If we don't 409 00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:42.480 get that pressed, people don't know. And and that's also helped us tremendously. 410 00:27:44.079 --> 00:27:48.039 So Jim, just uh uh, just tell us a little bit about 411 00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:52.039 what you where do you think junior college athletics is headed? You know, 412 00:27:52.079 --> 00:27:55.079 We've talked about, you know what NIL and the transfer portal and all these 413 00:27:55.119 --> 00:27:57.400 things are doing you know, at the at the higher level, but obviously 414 00:27:57.440 --> 00:28:02.240 impacting and impacting your the junior college level. We've talked about it with some 415 00:28:02.319 --> 00:28:04.200 of the coaches. But you know, what is the future? What are 416 00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:07.880 we talking about here in terms of the role that junior collegers are going to 417 00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:15.920 have in collegiate athletics going forward? You know something that question, if you 418 00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:18.880 ask me truly right now, the last and I'm not and I'm including high 419 00:28:18.920 --> 00:28:25.160 school, I think the last real amateur sports right now is JC ball because 420 00:28:25.359 --> 00:28:30.200 they're in that in between high school kids are now getting nils and it's a 421 00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:33.960 big deal, and a kid's on in the ninth grade and he's talking about 422 00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:40.039 where he's going to high school or where he's transferring to junior college kind of 423 00:28:40.079 --> 00:28:44.079 gets left out of that, and they're the last frontier in my opinion of 424 00:28:44.599 --> 00:28:49.319 real amateur athletics. Now, where does it hurt them because of the transfer 425 00:28:49.440 --> 00:28:55.599 portals, because of people looking going do I take a fifth year kid out 426 00:28:55.599 --> 00:28:57.960 of the University of Miami or do I go ahead and take a kid out 427 00:28:59.000 --> 00:29:03.000 of a JC that's an All American. Well, he's already proven himself at 428 00:29:03.000 --> 00:29:04.920 the Division one level, so you're probably going to take that kid. So 429 00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:11.759 it becomes less and less of junior college and then high school kids getting that 430 00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:18.279 opportunity because it at college athletics now is insane when you have people like Nick 431 00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:22.480 Saban walking out the door going I just don't want to do this anymore. 432 00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:27.920 I mean, it's going to be difficult and for j C ball if people 433 00:29:27.960 --> 00:29:33.039 don't look at it for really what it's worth, and that's the opportunity you're 434 00:29:33.160 --> 00:29:40.119 given those student athletes, male and female in any sport, an opportunity to 435 00:29:40.279 --> 00:29:45.240 not only improve their craft and maybe get a break and go to a big 436 00:29:45.240 --> 00:29:49.640 time school, but getting an education. And if people don't look at the 437 00:29:49.759 --> 00:29:56.039 fact that you're keeping kids in school, JC football's in trouble. J C 438 00:29:56.200 --> 00:29:59.880 Ball's in trouble. Period. Yeah. Yeah, I think that's the answer 439 00:29:59.880 --> 00:30:03.119 that we thought you'd say, right Jay, Because it's tough. It's tough 440 00:30:03.160 --> 00:30:06.680 now, especially under these conditions. Let me ask you. We got about 441 00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:11.640 five minutes, so there's a lot to talk to you about. You're sixty 442 00:30:11.880 --> 00:30:15.039 ish sixty, What are you gonna do? I mean, competitors compete, 443 00:30:15.039 --> 00:30:18.559 what are you gonna do? Well, I'm gonna try to compete a little 444 00:30:18.559 --> 00:30:23.799 bit better at golf. I'm probably gonna we're gonna travel a little bit, 445 00:30:23.839 --> 00:30:27.359 you know, I mean, And that's exactly the key here, right. 446 00:30:27.519 --> 00:30:32.640 I'm gonna be sixty three years old in July, and uh, thank god 447 00:30:32.680 --> 00:30:36.279 I made it through this this illness this winter, which is just insane, 448 00:30:36.720 --> 00:30:41.680 and you know, I'm just gonna do Honestly, I don't want to punch 449 00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:45.720 a clock. I'm just gonna sit back and if I want to do something, 450 00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:49.319 I'll go clean golf carts or paint my house and play some golf and 451 00:30:49.359 --> 00:30:52.839 get them traveling in and then who knows. You know, I've been asked 452 00:30:52.839 --> 00:30:57.680 by several people to coach football, and I'm like, I need a year 453 00:30:57.720 --> 00:31:00.880 off and then we'll just we'll see where we're at. But you know that, 454 00:31:00.960 --> 00:31:03.160 you say, what are you gonna do after the day after you retire? 455 00:31:03.240 --> 00:31:07.680 So I'm gonna stay in bed. I don't even care if I'm not 456 00:31:07.680 --> 00:31:14.680 sleeping because I wake up at five o'clock anyway, don't do that, go 457 00:31:14.799 --> 00:31:17.839 clean the yard or so one day. I don't know what that feel like, 458 00:31:17.920 --> 00:31:19.480 you do it, do it, you'll enjoy it, Thedn't you do 459 00:31:19.519 --> 00:31:23.599 it again the next day. It can become a bad habit right away. 460 00:31:23.920 --> 00:31:27.400 Right, you might gain some weight though, you know, just beat a 461 00:31:27.519 --> 00:31:30.680 slug. Maybe start a radio show or something, right, go do a 462 00:31:30.759 --> 00:31:33.480 radio show with these with two old guys. Yeah, the three old guys, 463 00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:37.519 three year old guys. Exactly right. My knees are about eighty five, 464 00:31:37.599 --> 00:31:41.759 so we can call it that. So, so let's talk a little 465 00:31:41.759 --> 00:31:45.200 bit about you know, things going on this season. You know, just 466 00:31:45.240 --> 00:31:48.880 how things are going basketball, both basketball teams nationally rank. You got baseball 467 00:31:49.160 --> 00:31:52.720 you know Underway and and softball and those just U I don't know where you 468 00:31:52.799 --> 00:31:56.799 at, man, how you feeling about things? Oh amazing? We uh 469 00:31:57.000 --> 00:32:00.359 we We just had our golf team. We just finished second up in our 470 00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:05.359 first tournament. So that went really well. Track, like I said, 471 00:32:05.440 --> 00:32:08.759 is just blew it out of the water. They're just we've got I want 472 00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:15.519 I might be missed speaking, but I think we have six number ones right 473 00:32:15.559 --> 00:32:19.799 now in the nation. Wow. So yeah, And actually we in a 474 00:32:19.839 --> 00:32:22.599 couple of areas and I think one of them is high jump. We're actually 475 00:32:22.599 --> 00:32:28.279 one and two in the country. So tracks doing amazing and they head out 476 00:32:28.319 --> 00:32:31.680 to Florida on Wednesday for nationals, for indoor nationals even though it's outdoors. 477 00:32:32.319 --> 00:32:36.960 Baseball just ran off twelve in a row, had a rough weekend, but 478 00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:40.759 they just tore it up. Softball went up to Phoenix and beat them to 479 00:32:42.079 --> 00:32:45.559 took a double header from them this weekend, which is huge because they're number 480 00:32:45.559 --> 00:32:49.519 three in the nation, you know, and basketball women just went up to 481 00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:52.920 number eleven. I want to say men are thirteen, but I didn't get 482 00:32:52.920 --> 00:32:54.519 a look at that. So I feel great. I mean, we're in 483 00:32:54.559 --> 00:32:59.480 a great position. Yeah, no question. With about a couple of weeks 484 00:32:59.519 --> 00:33:05.240 left, right before the tournament starts. Yeah, so basketball has uh we 485 00:33:05.240 --> 00:33:08.200 we're gonna end up hosting first games, so with March seven and nine, 486 00:33:08.680 --> 00:33:14.279 and then the at large bids go out if you don't win the tournament on 487 00:33:14.359 --> 00:33:16.160 the tenth, and then they'll take off the next week and they'll be gone 488 00:33:16.200 --> 00:33:21.359 for nine days. Track will come back the end of the week, and 489 00:33:21.519 --> 00:33:24.440 uh they start their outdoor season right away at Willie Williams. And then like 490 00:33:24.480 --> 00:33:29.559 I said, baseball and softball are going full full more, and so's golf 491 00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:34.079 and and they'll be getting ready for nationals and and playoffs. We have about 492 00:33:34.079 --> 00:33:37.240 a minute left, ninety seconds. Jim. Let me ask you this might 493 00:33:37.240 --> 00:33:39.079 be a weird question. I think you were you were a police officer before 494 00:33:39.200 --> 00:33:46.079 all this. How did that set you up to become this or to handle 495 00:33:46.359 --> 00:33:52.279 you know, I've always h coached. So my dad, you know, 496 00:33:52.319 --> 00:33:55.440 he was a barber at first and didn't make a lot of money in the 497 00:33:55.480 --> 00:34:00.319 sixties, and and became extodian in high school. And my mom worked in 498 00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:02.920 the office, and you know that he was always a big guy. He 499 00:34:02.920 --> 00:34:06.359 did it. Wasn't a sports guy at all. Didn't didn't like him. 500 00:34:06.359 --> 00:34:09.360 But he always wanted me to be a teacher. So when I had to 501 00:34:09.400 --> 00:34:15.079 retire, my legs finally let go. I always coached as part of being 502 00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:19.880 a police officer, So it was just natural fit for me to go back 503 00:34:19.920 --> 00:34:22.800 to school and and get my degrees in that and uh and and and going 504 00:34:22.880 --> 00:34:28.920 that route. And I've been blessed to have two amazing careers in my life 505 00:34:28.960 --> 00:34:31.119 already, and not to mention a husband, dad, and grandfather. So 506 00:34:32.199 --> 00:34:36.760 I'm a pretty lucky dude. I think I know somebody who knows you. 507 00:34:36.880 --> 00:34:39.719 Uh, my brother Jean, I believe was your your sergeant at some point. 508 00:34:40.480 --> 00:34:44.320 He sure was. Yeah, okay, I don't know if that's a 509 00:34:44.320 --> 00:34:46.639 good thing for you or a bad thing, you know, to get that 510 00:34:46.719 --> 00:34:50.000 out there. Great guy, he was a great guy. He was a 511 00:34:50.000 --> 00:34:52.719 great sergeant. I wanted to give a shout. He's texting me, goes, 512 00:34:52.880 --> 00:35:00.199 Jimmy worked free. Yeah he listen. You know, Jean has has 513 00:35:00.280 --> 00:35:04.119 always been on my side, and even when I had to retire, and 514 00:35:04.119 --> 00:35:07.239 and of course he was coaching softball eema. He's uh, he's always been 515 00:35:07.320 --> 00:35:10.119 uh, he's always been on my side. So I owe him a lot. 516 00:35:10.159 --> 00:35:13.320 He's a great guy. I love him. Well, Jim, We're 517 00:35:13.360 --> 00:35:15.199 always on your side. Thanks for joining us. We'll have you back before 518 00:35:15.239 --> 00:35:19.679 it's all over. Yeah.

Yeah, uh, Saturday's 570 00:38:49.599 --> 00:38:52.079 another big game. The rest are all big games, raw big game. 571 00:38:52.159 --> 00:38:55.679 Well, you know, as you know again with Quhingon States in ACU, 572 00:38:55.760 --> 00:39:00.880 that put that put the you know, pacwech championship in Arizona's hands. But 573 00:39:00.960 --> 00:39:04.360 it's a tough roads on the road. I've said this a number of times. 574 00:39:04.400 --> 00:39:06.599 I don't know how many how many, but I'm gonna ask you guys, 575 00:39:06.679 --> 00:39:09.880 now, do you think the and it's helped them all your the Duke 576 00:39:10.119 --> 00:39:15.599 win all the wins, But do you think the Duke win the first game 577 00:39:15.840 --> 00:39:22.280 kind of threw things out of whack for Arizona? No, because because I 578 00:39:22.400 --> 00:39:25.760 mean right, but I think what you're implying is that the Duke win told 579 00:39:25.840 --> 00:39:30.639 us that Arizona is better than they are. And I don't think it necessarily 580 00:39:30.719 --> 00:39:35.440 did that, partly because Duke has not turned not to be all that great, 581 00:39:35.639 --> 00:39:38.719 right, Okay, realistic people would understand that. But and that's kind 582 00:39:38.719 --> 00:39:42.000 of where I was maybe for some fans, Yeah, but where you know, 583 00:39:42.239 --> 00:39:45.360 we beat Duke. We were able to win the national title from day 584 00:39:45.480 --> 00:39:50.159 one, which is unrealistic. It's unrealistic to think that you can win the 585 00:39:50.280 --> 00:39:52.480 national title. Even if they didn't beat them, they would think that. 586 00:39:52.800 --> 00:39:57.760 But I'm just saying that no one thought they'd be Duke that first game. 587 00:39:57.880 --> 00:40:04.119 No, But but what I'm saying is that regardless that Arizona, you can 588 00:40:04.159 --> 00:40:07.039 sit there and think that there Arizona might win the national title. So whether 589 00:40:07.119 --> 00:40:09.800 or not they beat Duke is but but they did, and that's what gave 590 00:40:09.880 --> 00:40:15.840 them more loftier expectations by the fans, which are are real unrealist or realistic 591 00:40:16.039 --> 00:40:19.719 or not realistic. Actually, I think it had had more to do with 592 00:40:19.800 --> 00:40:23.119 the other games that came along, you know, uh beating Alabama, beating 593 00:40:23.159 --> 00:40:29.239 Michigan State, beating uh uh. But we've seen that those teams are again 594 00:40:29.360 --> 00:40:34.079 but as but as Arizona's going through that November December schedule, they were winning 595 00:40:34.119 --> 00:40:37.000 all these games, you know, That's what it was. I think it 596 00:40:37.119 --> 00:40:40.760 was the whole body of all the games of course that had that had fans 597 00:40:40.880 --> 00:40:45.360 believing this team is really good. But the key is, Steve, it 598 00:40:45.519 --> 00:40:50.559 is really good. They can win the national championship. I think you're I 599 00:40:50.639 --> 00:40:52.280 don't know, maybe I'm putting words into your mouth but I feel like you're 600 00:40:52.280 --> 00:40:57.920 saying they beat Duke and they gave them an unrealistic expectation they could win the 601 00:40:58.000 --> 00:41:01.320 national champship when I think they the National championship is a realistic who's the day? 602 00:41:01.320 --> 00:41:05.639 Who's the day? Though? That's fans. Are you talking about fans? 603 00:41:05.639 --> 00:41:07.440 So that's what I'm talking about that, yes, they can. I 604 00:41:07.519 --> 00:41:12.079 think it is a realistic expectation, and every year they think that. But 605 00:41:12.199 --> 00:41:15.840 I thought that, I'm thinking that you didn't think they were ranked twelfth in 606 00:41:15.880 --> 00:41:19.119 the country. But going to Duke. They beat Duke on the road and 607 00:41:19.920 --> 00:41:22.559 oh god, let's get the reservations. Now, well, there was some 608 00:41:22.679 --> 00:41:24.840 of that. Uh, there was a lot of a lot of that. 609 00:41:24.960 --> 00:41:29.760 And then again like to your point, the Alabama win, the Michigan State 610 00:41:29.880 --> 00:41:32.800 win, the Wisconsin which I think it was a very good win, has 611 00:41:32.920 --> 00:41:36.960 kind of kind of kept it up. But then they hit the Pac twelve. 612 00:41:37.239 --> 00:41:38.840 Yeah, and they said, oh no, yeah, yea, let's 613 00:41:38.840 --> 00:41:40.960 take this call. Hi, you're on the Aaron Eye on the ball, 614 00:41:43.559 --> 00:41:45.679 Hey Jay, Hey Steve, this is done, don how are you? 615 00:41:46.800 --> 00:41:54.159 I'm all right? The win over Duke Art and I want to talk about 616 00:41:54.239 --> 00:42:02.079 the court storming stuff too, but the win over due. It did set 617 00:42:02.199 --> 00:42:08.320 some expectations. But the college basketball season on the whole is such a it's 618 00:42:08.400 --> 00:42:15.119 like March madness the whole way through. I mean, who who's really health 619 00:42:15.239 --> 00:42:21.480 served? As far as the top teams like Houston and Purdue. Well, 620 00:42:22.000 --> 00:42:25.760 the last week Creighton goes to Yukon or beats Yukon and then loses the next 621 00:42:25.840 --> 00:42:30.119 game. It happens all the time. People just see it here. It 622 00:42:30.159 --> 00:42:35.360 happens all the time. Yeah, that's it's just crazy. It's a roller 623 00:42:35.440 --> 00:42:40.320 coaster. Yes, And to try and to try to hang national championship hopes 624 00:42:40.360 --> 00:42:45.639 on on every single game in a thirty game schedule, that's that's just exhausting. 625 00:42:50.000 --> 00:42:52.559 Has been. That is a really good point. All right, what 626 00:42:52.639 --> 00:42:55.679 do you What do you think on the court storming issue? You know what, 627 00:42:57.039 --> 00:43:00.199 I have mixed feelings on it because I've been on the court a time 628 00:43:00.320 --> 00:43:05.920 or two, like back from high school days and stuff like that. Of 629 00:43:06.039 --> 00:43:09.480 course, at Arizona we don't storm the court because if we win, we're 630 00:43:09.519 --> 00:43:15.320 supposed to. So that's that's another thing. But you got to think back 631 00:43:15.400 --> 00:43:22.519 to it's sometime between like two thousand and six and two thousand eight or something. 632 00:43:23.239 --> 00:43:27.400 They had a court storming at Tucson High in. One of the players 633 00:43:28.039 --> 00:43:32.639 we talked about that mister K Joe K I think was his name. Yeah, 634 00:43:34.079 --> 00:43:38.159 And you know, almost all of those kids that are running onto the 635 00:43:38.239 --> 00:43:42.280 court, you know, they just want to be there with their friends and 636 00:43:42.719 --> 00:43:46.960 you know, and celebrate this good time. But with so many people in 637 00:43:47.039 --> 00:43:52.599 those small places, I mean, it's like you can't even be a Dodger 638 00:43:52.719 --> 00:43:57.840 fan and go to the game in San Francisco and wear your stuff, you 639 00:43:57.920 --> 00:44:01.360 know, you with the crowds and everything, there's something could happen at any 640 00:44:01.480 --> 00:44:07.800 time, right Well, yeah, so I got mixed feelings about it because 641 00:44:07.840 --> 00:44:10.039 I know it's a fun time, you know, to run out the football 642 00:44:10.079 --> 00:44:19.639 field after a big game or whatever. But it's you know, it's it's 643 00:44:19.880 --> 00:44:24.320 like time in place. I don't know, I don't know. It's well, 644 00:44:24.320 --> 00:44:27.119 they're going to try to figure out what to do, but it's going 645 00:44:27.199 --> 00:44:29.079 to be almost important. Don't know what. I don't know what you do 646 00:44:29.800 --> 00:44:32.079 Joe K. Two thousand and four, two thousand and four, two thousand 647 00:44:32.119 --> 00:44:37.280 and four. You know, maybe maybe the players just find their way to 648 00:44:37.440 --> 00:44:40.400 the sideline and to a nusher and and wait it out. No, come 649 00:44:40.480 --> 00:44:44.480 on, or you hit the lottery, you hit the lottery. Let me 650 00:44:44.519 --> 00:44:46.719 see, I'm gonna wait a while to jump up and down because no, 651 00:44:46.800 --> 00:44:50.159 no, no, no, no, I'm talking about the players that are 652 00:44:50.199 --> 00:44:53.360 on the floor because we're talking about player safety, not not the not the 653 00:44:53.480 --> 00:44:58.360 students have to protect the car rushers. Yeah, so what are you sharing 654 00:44:58.480 --> 00:45:00.800 about them? What are you saying they should do. I'm just saying, 655 00:45:01.199 --> 00:45:05.440 go find a nusher, Go find a security person, hang out with them, 656 00:45:05.519 --> 00:45:08.480 because anybody that's rushing the court is going to try to stay away from 657 00:45:08.599 --> 00:45:12.199 security, right, get off the floors. What you got to do. 658 00:45:12.920 --> 00:45:16.440 And that's exactly all right. Don Hey, thanks about playing surface as fast 659 00:45:16.480 --> 00:45:20.280 as you can. And then if you're on the wrong side to the locker 660 00:45:20.400 --> 00:45:23.159 room, just make your way around the outside. Dog tomorrow calls about world 661 00:45:23.199 --> 00:45:30.960 peace, we'll save that one too. You know, it's I think it's 662 00:45:30.000 --> 00:45:34.079 a fun thing for all the students. I think it's a fun thing to 663 00:45:34.239 --> 00:45:37.800 do. You make you you, you upset somebody. But on the other 664 00:45:37.920 --> 00:45:42.320 hand, there's players safety, there's a safety of the referees and all that 665 00:45:42.440 --> 00:45:47.320 stuff. A lot of stuff to worry about you understand with that thought, 666 00:45:47.639 --> 00:45:52.079 and so we'll see you walk. It takes a boutch Don appreciate it. 667 00:45:52.440 --> 00:45:57.760 Take care. I think it's a tough situation. It's a very tough situation. 668 00:45:59.039 --> 00:46:01.280 You don't, Okay, he's sounds like I think he's thirty nine. 669 00:46:01.360 --> 00:46:07.519 Now I'm looking at an ESPN story that ran in twenty thirteen. But you 670 00:46:07.599 --> 00:46:10.800 know, the story on him was he you know, he got knocked down, 671 00:46:10.840 --> 00:46:14.840 He got pulled down in a in a court storming at Tucson. I 672 00:46:14.960 --> 00:46:19.800 saw a high school court's from when he got tackled, suffered a torn carrot 673 00:46:19.920 --> 00:46:22.679 and artery, and I think he ultimately had a stroke. And you know, 674 00:46:22.760 --> 00:46:28.360 he was headed to Stanford to play basketball. But nonetheless, and in 675 00:46:28.760 --> 00:46:30.239 that case, it wasn't I've you know, if you've seen the video of 676 00:46:30.320 --> 00:46:32.719 that, there wasn't anything he could do. Somebody just came up right behind 677 00:46:32.800 --> 00:46:37.559 him and tackled it. So those instances are gonna happen if something that doesn't 678 00:46:37.599 --> 00:46:44.360 happen. But you know, I watched Philip Hoski's Philip Hoski's situation. He 679 00:46:44.440 --> 00:46:46.239 did not try to get off the court. He saw it coming. What 680 00:46:46.519 --> 00:46:50.920 was what point was he on them in the court at the very end or 681 00:46:51.119 --> 00:46:52.159 was that the very end? How could he prevent You know what I'm saying, 682 00:46:52.199 --> 00:46:55.599 as soon as he saw the court storm happening, he needed to be 683 00:46:55.719 --> 00:47:00.360 on his guard, and he was walking off like nonchalant. Well, he's 684 00:47:00.400 --> 00:47:02.480 been accused of not being on his guard or being on his guarden, and 685 00:47:02.840 --> 00:47:07.639 some people accused him of pushing the student and tripping the student. Have you 686 00:47:07.719 --> 00:47:10.280 seen that? Yeah? But what I'm saying is what he should have done 687 00:47:12.039 --> 00:47:14.480 is run the hell off the court because he saw it coming. I don't 688 00:47:14.519 --> 00:47:16.639 I don't know if that was preventive. And you see you've seem you know, 689 00:47:17.199 --> 00:47:21.400 you know players, and you know you do that and you figure out 690 00:47:21.599 --> 00:47:23.679 there's just different ways, sure, you know. And again I'm not putting 691 00:47:23.679 --> 00:47:27.880 it all on him because you know this thing and I don't know what they're 692 00:47:27.880 --> 00:47:30.719 gonna do. There's been so many different things that have been But you know 693 00:47:30.760 --> 00:47:34.159 what we know doesn't work is finding the schools because the kids don't give one 694 00:47:34.199 --> 00:47:37.159 call. Yeah, yeah, because they're not paying stuff. You know, 695 00:47:37.280 --> 00:47:43.519 the SEC Institute of those fines for football field storms, and that doesn't even 696 00:47:43.679 --> 00:47:46.840 someone just suffered one hundred thousand dollars fine last week, I think the previous 697 00:47:46.920 --> 00:47:51.440 week, uh one of the sec schools, and so that that doesn't matter. 698 00:47:53.119 --> 00:47:59.639 What I thought was funny guy that uh Jay Bellist, Do you see 699 00:47:59.639 --> 00:48:02.400 what he said? He said, you're not going to stop the court storm, 700 00:48:02.960 --> 00:48:08.119 but the next one, get enough security that you keep everybody on the 701 00:48:08.199 --> 00:48:14.079 court at the end of the courtroom and everybody gets a ticket or gets arrested, 702 00:48:14.599 --> 00:48:16.199 and that'll stop it. And that was kind of interesting. I don't 703 00:48:16.199 --> 00:48:19.400 know how you do that. You'd have to have, you know, one 704 00:48:19.480 --> 00:48:22.840 hundred cops there to do that. Do not let anybody off the court. 705 00:48:22.920 --> 00:48:25.119 You tell them if you go on the court, you're going to get arrested. 706 00:48:25.800 --> 00:48:30.480 And then if the court storm happens, everybody who runs on the court 707 00:48:30.400 --> 00:48:34.960 has to pay one hundred dollars or two hundred dollars fine or whatever it is. 708 00:48:35.760 --> 00:48:40.280 Right, I thought that was that seems viable. Sounds good. However, 709 00:48:42.159 --> 00:48:45.000 having worked for an organization that has to pay the cops, the extra 710 00:48:45.119 --> 00:48:52.360 cops I know is not cheap. So one hundred cops, right, It's 711 00:48:52.400 --> 00:48:55.239 the only thing I've heard though that seems viable, right, because you're not 712 00:48:55.280 --> 00:48:59.440 going to be able to have enough cops there sure to keep it from happening. 713 00:48:59.480 --> 00:49:01.840 And that was Jay Billis's point. You're not gonna stop it from happening 714 00:49:01.920 --> 00:49:05.639 no matter how many cops you have there. I mean, we've seen videos 715 00:49:05.679 --> 00:49:08.280 of the security people get on the field at a storm and they just let 716 00:49:08.360 --> 00:49:14.840 the cops on the side. And the problem is the people getting hurt are 717 00:49:14.840 --> 00:49:16.280 the old people trying to jump the fence. Right, the whole idea of 718 00:49:16.679 --> 00:49:21.000 okay, everybody wait and then you can storm the court. That doesn't work, 719 00:49:21.360 --> 00:49:22.840 right, And then it didn't work on Saturday. So I think you 720 00:49:22.960 --> 00:49:28.840 find a way to punish the ones that actually storm the court. I don't 721 00:49:28.840 --> 00:49:30.880 know how viable it is, but that's the only thing that even came close 722 00:49:30.960 --> 00:49:35.199 to seeing. Hm. Maybe that might work. Yeah, good luck with 723 00:49:35.239 --> 00:49:36.800 it. But you know, I don't know. I mean, Steve, 724 00:49:36.840 --> 00:49:42.280 you know, we've been here how many years and there was one remember forget, 725 00:49:42.320 --> 00:49:45.360 but that scared the crap out of me. People were jumping over the 726 00:49:45.559 --> 00:49:49.239 stepping on the table where I was sitting me and the next guy jumping over 727 00:49:49.320 --> 00:49:52.599 the top. And those are so called I wanted to get to another statement 728 00:49:52.639 --> 00:49:54.360 here. Those are the old people, so called old people, like who 729 00:49:54.440 --> 00:49:57.920 are sitting Yeah, who are sitting behind? I wanted to go there because 730 00:49:57.920 --> 00:50:00.119 I'm gonna ask. We have doctor Robbins POSSI me. On Friday, they 731 00:50:00.360 --> 00:50:05.920 got into a Facebook debate about the kids being on the sides, right, 732 00:50:06.039 --> 00:50:08.840 that they should move them on the sides. We've talked about this not ever 733 00:50:09.079 --> 00:50:14.280 possible. No, the kids don't pay the bills. The lums who have 734 00:50:14.480 --> 00:50:16.800 those seats are not going to change their ways to move that seat. And 735 00:50:16.840 --> 00:50:21.760 I'm thinking, why doesn't anybody understand this? There's too much money involved, 736 00:50:22.000 --> 00:50:25.400 especially now, and it's never gonna happen. Also, we're talking about behavior 737 00:50:25.440 --> 00:50:28.440 here, right, so like if you've moved, I mean, we aren't 738 00:50:28.440 --> 00:50:30.559 even talking about earlier. Just this season we've talked about and last seasons two 739 00:50:30.599 --> 00:50:35.440 with the UCLA incident. Yeah, we're talking about students getting too riley, 740 00:50:35.679 --> 00:50:37.320 too unruly. You want to move them closer to the benches. Yeah. 741 00:50:38.199 --> 00:50:42.760 I have a vivid memory of a court storm that I was in on and 742 00:50:42.880 --> 00:50:46.440 that was when the students were sitting in bleachers on three sides of the court 743 00:50:46.519 --> 00:50:51.920 those seventy eight The seventy eight game against ucl was seventy eight, seventy nine. 744 00:50:52.000 --> 00:50:55.000 Yeah, it was against UCLA U S. I was number four, 745 00:50:55.360 --> 00:51:01.159 beat them and the bleachers around on those recites emptied faster than you can even 746 00:51:01.199 --> 00:51:06.760 imagine. And I was one of them, right, and and uh that, 747 00:51:06.960 --> 00:51:09.599 No, you're not gonna be able to do that, for sure, 748 00:51:10.519 --> 00:51:14.079 I don't. But you can't give those seats to them anyway. You can't, 749 00:51:14.199 --> 00:51:16.519 just can't. I don't understand mean people Terry Francona sitting in the front 750 00:51:16.639 --> 00:51:21.920 row in the floor seats. Yeah, you know you can't have students behind 751 00:51:21.960 --> 00:51:23.840 those guys. No, it's it's so much. I got into it with 752 00:51:23.960 --> 00:51:28.239 one of our guys team Unions, and he has all the solutions to solve 753 00:51:28.280 --> 00:51:30.599 the world, and I think they're not gonna do it. And one of 754 00:51:30.679 --> 00:51:34.280 the people responded to me is, well, why don't the people who buy 755 00:51:34.320 --> 00:51:37.159 those tickets give them to the kids. You're gonna tell me you're gonna spend 756 00:51:37.199 --> 00:51:40.039 five thousand dollars for a ticket and give those tickets away? Who in the 757 00:51:40.159 --> 00:51:43.960 right mind? And then they responded, I talked to a couple of people 758 00:51:44.119 --> 00:51:46.039 that they said they would do that. Who stop it? That's like the 759 00:51:46.119 --> 00:51:50.679 person that went on and tweeted, Arizona's got hiring for you? Why are 760 00:51:50.679 --> 00:51:54.639 they hiring a football coach? That is so I don't get it, Jay, 761 00:51:55.559 --> 00:51:59.199 to the point. To the point is I read this for our discussions 762 00:51:59.239 --> 00:52:00.840 and stuff. If I read it just for whatever reason, I'm thinking, 763 00:52:01.159 --> 00:52:05.920 why in that world am I reading this craft? I don't look at me. 764 00:52:06.039 --> 00:52:09.000 I don't know what it's like on Facebook, your Twitter, and you're 765 00:52:09.000 --> 00:52:14.719 thinking, does it anybody doesn't make any sense? Read it? And I 766 00:52:14.800 --> 00:52:16.519 continue to read it, and I'm thinking, what the hell that's your ticket? 767 00:52:16.559 --> 00:52:19.320 I mean, first of all, how do you find someone to pick 768 00:52:19.400 --> 00:52:21.920 you? Like? Walking around campus? Like, all right, who's the 769 00:52:22.719 --> 00:52:24.800 who was my front row seeds? Who's sober? Who does not drink? 770 00:52:24.880 --> 00:52:29.039 Who's not gonna yell? What are the people who have those seats? Are 771 00:52:29.079 --> 00:52:30.559 you kidding me? You mean to me, I'm gonna pay and give them 772 00:52:30.559 --> 00:52:37.119 away? Doesn't make any sense to me. Zero, We'll talk and we're 773 00:52:37.119 --> 00:52:40.440 gonna see if we have doctor, doctor Robinson and Friday. What's the possibility 774 00:52:40.480 --> 00:52:45.119 of what you possibly do? All right, we're at the top of the 775 00:52:45.199 --> 00:52:51.840 hour and take our break. We're losing our mind. Kevin's back with breaking 776 00:52:51.960 --> 00:52:53.599 News and then Greg Hanson at about four to twenty stick around
