00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:34.200

36
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:44.200
<v Speaker 3>think most of it is guaranteed. Yeah, no, I think

37
00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:45.200
<v Speaker 3>all of his money is. Garrett.

38
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:47.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean there was no guaranteed money when I

39
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:51.959
<v Speaker 2>was playing, no at all for anybody, nobody. John Alway

<v Speaker 2>You know.

44
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:05.640
<v Speaker 3>Let me say something about that kid.

45
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:08.439
<v Speaker 2>What do you guys think about the fact that he

46
00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:12.319
<v Speaker 2>did not try to win the the.

47
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:16.400
<v Speaker 4>Oh it's not that he didn't, they didn't allow him to.

48
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:18.039
<v Speaker 3>Well, you have a say in this.

49
00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:18.639
<v Speaker 4>As a player.

50
00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:20.120
<v Speaker 3>I don't think he did. Why not?

51
00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:22.360
<v Speaker 4>I don't know he just I don't think they did.

52
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:24.439
<v Speaker 4>You're not the boss of your.

53
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:27.840
<v Speaker 2>Gonna you have the right to say you're gonna play,

54
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:28.439
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna play.

55
00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:30.400
<v Speaker 4>No, No, I'm sorry.

56
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:32.400
<v Speaker 3>So the boss say I'm gonna sit you down. Yes,

57
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:35.039
<v Speaker 3>say no boss, I'm sure this record?

58
00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:35.560
<v Speaker 4>Why when?

59
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:38.120
<v Speaker 3>Why wouldn't the team want the record? Didn't want to

60
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:40.919
<v Speaker 3>get him hurt? The kid was not gonna get hurt.

61
00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:42.919
<v Speaker 3>He can get How do you know that? How do

62
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:43.560
<v Speaker 3>you not know?

63
00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:45.960
<v Speaker 4>You must be difficult to live with the kid with

64
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:47.120
<v Speaker 4>the phone.

65
00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:48.599
<v Speaker 3>But that's what I'm trying to figure out.

66
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:49.879
<v Speaker 4>The reason.

67
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:52.439
<v Speaker 3>He had to have a no Google, we're gonna google.

68
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:55.039
<v Speaker 2>He had to have a say in regards to playing

69
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:55.719
<v Speaker 2>or not playing.

70
00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:58.039
<v Speaker 4>No, if your employer says you can't go, you're not

71
00:02:58.080 --> 00:02:58.479
<v Speaker 4>gonna go.

72
00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:01.840
<v Speaker 3>So he had he had to have a say in it.

73
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:05.319
<v Speaker 4>First of all, I don't think he said, okay, I'll

74
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:07.639
<v Speaker 4>abide by that. That's what I was to say. No,

75
00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:10.759
<v Speaker 4>I can't believe. I'm sure I would bet you a

76
00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:16.319
<v Speaker 4>training session. I think Eric Dickerson guy in that kid. No, No, no, no,

77
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:16.840
<v Speaker 4>god No.

78
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:19.599
<v Speaker 2>I think Eric Dixison stopped that kid from getting I'm

79
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:20.439
<v Speaker 2>taking his record.

80
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:23.520
<v Speaker 4>No, I don't. I don't think so we'll google the rank.

81
00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:25.240
<v Speaker 4>Google tell you everything.

82
00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:28.919
<v Speaker 5>The New York Jets released wide receiver Dawnta Adams. The

83
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:31.479
<v Speaker 5>Jets will save twenty nine point nine million in salary

84
00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:34.599
<v Speaker 5>cap space. He had no guaranteed money remaining on his contract.

85
00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:37.080
<v Speaker 4>Well that was they got him for for the quarterback, right.

86
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:37.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

87
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:41.280
<v Speaker 4>Do you have asked you this? Because I talked to

88
00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:43.800
<v Speaker 4>you so often Aaron Rodgers? Have you did you play

89
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:47.360
<v Speaker 4>for with a guy like that? In terms of ego?

90
00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:48.479
<v Speaker 4>I'm sure, Hell you.

91
00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:52.479
<v Speaker 2>Guys, but I didn't have an ego, you know what

92
00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:54.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying, just like, just play the damn can't.

93
00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:56.879
<v Speaker 3>I mean, that's that that hasn't changed.

94
00:03:57.000 --> 00:03:59.479
<v Speaker 2>I mean that's still players just like Aaron Rodgers, that

95
00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:04.000
<v Speaker 2>that thought that you know, he was special and.

96
00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:04.520
<v Speaker 3>Management treated him that way.

97
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:07.919
<v Speaker 2>So when management treats you away, he expects everybody else

98
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:09.159
<v Speaker 2>to treat you that way.

99
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:13.199
<v Speaker 4>You know, isn't that the first rule of bad chemistry

100
00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:14.639
<v Speaker 4>and karma and all that stuff.

101
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:17.399
<v Speaker 2>To me, it is as far as bad you know,

102
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:20.480
<v Speaker 2>sportsmanships for you know, as far as you know, as

103
00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:25.839
<v Speaker 2>far as putting the team together that's team together, and

104
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:27.120
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't want good management.

105
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:29.360
<v Speaker 3>I wouldn't want him on my team. I wouldn't either.

106
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:31.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I wouldn't want to be a I wouldn't

107
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:32.040
<v Speaker 2>want to be on a team.

108
00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:33.639
<v Speaker 3>With him, right right? You know I don't.

109
00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:34.079
<v Speaker 4>I don't.

110
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:36.319
<v Speaker 2>I don't think he was good for the team at all.

111
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:38.920
<v Speaker 2>Do you still think he has a future? Oh, someone's

112
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:42.439
<v Speaker 2>gonna get him opportunity. He'll get and and and and

113
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:45.480
<v Speaker 2>Dante probably will be playing right beside him, true, because

114
00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:48.519
<v Speaker 2>of a package package. Do I think he's gonna be

115
00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:51.720
<v Speaker 2>probably end up being with the Raiders? Oh, which could

116
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:54.800
<v Speaker 2>happen because owns the part of the team too. He's

117
00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:57.839
<v Speaker 2>kind of calling the shots to Yeah, he tried to

118
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:00.800
<v Speaker 2>get Stafford there, it looks yeah, didn't didn't work out

119
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:01.120
<v Speaker 2>that way.

120
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:02.959
<v Speaker 4>Are you a fan? Are you a NFL fan?

121
00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:05.480
<v Speaker 2>Or you just I just watched it because every now

122
00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:10.519
<v Speaker 2>because somebody I know? Or why aren't you a fan

123
00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:14.759
<v Speaker 2>of the gang? Yeah, because I wasn't an employee. Once

124
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:17.160
<v Speaker 2>you worked a gang, or you work for someone, you'll

125
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:20.160
<v Speaker 2>become a fan. So you So when I say that, no, no, perfect.

126
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:22.560
<v Speaker 2>When I when people say am I a fan sports fan?

127
00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:22.759
<v Speaker 1>No?

128
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:26.199
<v Speaker 3>I go to the games. I know what job. It's

129
00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:26.600
<v Speaker 3>my job.

130
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:29.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I respect that. Yeah, and I know that there's

131
00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:30.959
<v Speaker 2>more to the story. Does that make sense?

132
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:32.120
<v Speaker 3>It does? I mean it really does.

133
00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:35.680
<v Speaker 2>And I'm sure you knew stuff that what really Yeah,

134
00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:38.920
<v Speaker 2>behind the scenes, that really didn't happen that way.

135
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:41.920
<v Speaker 3>But you see it that way. Enjoy it, right, but

136
00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:42.439
<v Speaker 3>I can't.

137
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:45.720
<v Speaker 4>No, No, that's that's exactly why exactly.

138
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:47.839
<v Speaker 3>Okay, that makes sense. I respect that.

139
00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:52.480
<v Speaker 5>Okay, Dallas Mavericks all star Carrier Irving suffered a season

140
00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:54.360
<v Speaker 5>ending toward a c l was left knee.

141
00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:56.040
<v Speaker 3>That yeah, that's too bad.

142
00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:58.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that team that the franchise has gone to crap

143
00:05:58.680 --> 00:05:59.439
<v Speaker 4>and last month.

144
00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:04.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, why would why did Cuban trade?

145
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:05.240
<v Speaker 4>Cuban's not the guy.

146
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:09.000
<v Speaker 2>And why did he sell the team his percentage of

147
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:09.399
<v Speaker 2>the team.

148
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:11.079
<v Speaker 3>You know what his reasoning was.

149
00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:15.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure what the reasoning was. Yeah, but he

150
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:18.560
<v Speaker 2>got out at the right time. Uh yeah, yeah, because

151
00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:20.199
<v Speaker 2>he and he has no say in the day to

152
00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:24.800
<v Speaker 2>day operation. He's a minority now and it's a female right. Yeah. Well,

153
00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:27.759
<v Speaker 2>although the guys are calling the shots. That's why, that's

00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:43.480
<v Speaker 2>on the highway, and I see lion.

185

<v Speaker 3>Outlines of bodies just got killed that night. I'm like, dude,

186
00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:48.199

<v Speaker 2>Oh really, this is like nineteen eighty. It was like

188
00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:54.519
<v Speaker 2>nineteen right at eighty nine ninety, I said, no, this

00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:02.000
<v Speaker 5>Sam Darnold said to be free agent as he did

191
00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:04.120
<v Speaker 5>not get franchise tagged by the Vikings.

192
00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:07.439
<v Speaker 3>Wow, that can be a raider. He can be.

193
00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:11.759
<v Speaker 2>There's so many needed quarterbacks. And he's so young too,

194

195
00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:17.279

196
00:08:17.399 --> 00:08:19.839
<v Speaker 2>and I think that the ceiling is bigger for him

197
00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:20.800

00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:26.960
<v Speaker 4>Oh is this year?

455
00:20:28.319 --> 00:20:28.519
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

456
00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:32.079
<v Speaker 4>Oh thanks? We were just gibber jabbering, so we got

457
00:20:32.079 --> 00:20:35.559
<v Speaker 4>to call hot God, are you on your way down here? What?

458
00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:39.640
<v Speaker 7>Uh? No, I'm actually actually not able to make it.

459
00:20:39.680 --> 00:20:41.279
<v Speaker 7>I am going to have a staff member there, but

460
00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:42.680
<v Speaker 7>I'm I'm fortunately not able to make it.

461
00:20:42.759 --> 00:20:45.519
<v Speaker 4>You're not here for the last Bobby Hurdy game here ever.

462
00:20:47.799 --> 00:20:51.160
<v Speaker 7>Wow, So it's a game here on Saturday, you know,

463
00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:53.359
<v Speaker 7>at all, last game of DFA.

464
00:20:53.440 --> 00:20:55.519
<v Speaker 2>I'll be there down here. So what do you think

465
00:20:55.559 --> 00:20:57.720
<v Speaker 2>about that? What do you think about Bobby in the future.

466
00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:02.400
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I mean, I just really can't see any scenario

467
00:21:02.400 --> 00:21:07.519
<v Speaker 7>that he does stay unless a SU feels very very

468
00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:11.920
<v Speaker 7>cash strapped that they're not able to, you know, pay

469
00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:15.319
<v Speaker 7>the three and a half mil more or less to

470
00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:19.559
<v Speaker 7>buy him out. I mean, you have like the outside

471
00:21:19.599 --> 00:21:24.839
<v Speaker 7>possibility that you know, all the freshmen decides that, you know,

472
00:21:24.920 --> 00:21:28.240
<v Speaker 7>they're they're going to stay, Bobby stays, But to me,

473
00:21:28.559 --> 00:21:31.799
<v Speaker 7>that really really seems far fetched. You know, they're supposed

474
00:21:31.799 --> 00:21:34.119
<v Speaker 7>to have this documentary, They're supposed to generate the NIL

475
00:21:35.079 --> 00:21:38.440
<v Speaker 7>for those players, and that never happened. They're still able

476
00:21:38.480 --> 00:21:40.319
<v Speaker 7>to pay him what they said they're going to pay

477
00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:44.400
<v Speaker 7>for them, but you know, I just don't see you know,

478
00:21:44.480 --> 00:21:48.039
<v Speaker 7>a SU going into that, you know adventure once again.

479
00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:50.680
<v Speaker 7>You know, it's not knowing that they have the NL stream.

480
00:21:50.799 --> 00:21:54.640
<v Speaker 7>So it's it's it's really really tough. And I think

481
00:21:54.680 --> 00:21:57.680
<v Speaker 7>Grabbersony knows that the spotlights on him. This is going

482
00:21:57.759 --> 00:22:02.680
<v Speaker 7>to be his first real decision, important decision as a

483
00:22:02.680 --> 00:22:08.000
<v Speaker 7>as athletic director, and I think you know, a decision

484
00:22:08.039 --> 00:22:10.039
<v Speaker 7>to retain Bobby at this point is not really going

485
00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:11.759
<v Speaker 7>to bode well, you know, for him either.

486
00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:14.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you talked about the new ad U, the cut

487
00:22:14.799 --> 00:22:17.119
<v Speaker 4>lighting and lightning in the bottle for football. No, I'm

488
00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:19.319
<v Speaker 4>sure they thinking they can do the same thing in

489
00:22:19.400 --> 00:22:21.880
<v Speaker 4>basketball in other areas because it's possible.

490
00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:26.880
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I mean, you know, football right now is is

491
00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:31.559
<v Speaker 7>really on cruise control, you know, and folks, uh, you know,

492
00:22:31.599 --> 00:22:33.480
<v Speaker 7>if they're looking at football, it's definitely not with a

493
00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:36.279
<v Speaker 7>critical eye or anything like that. They're just really pleased

494
00:22:36.720 --> 00:22:38.960
<v Speaker 7>of all the growth that they're able to see from

495
00:22:39.000 --> 00:22:39.720
<v Speaker 7>that program.

496
00:22:40.039 --> 00:22:40.240
<v Speaker 14>You know.

497
00:22:40.440 --> 00:22:42.480
<v Speaker 7>You know, Baseball is uh, you know, as far as

498
00:22:42.519 --> 00:22:45.799
<v Speaker 7>another major sport, is this really TVD It's been a

499
00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:49.640
<v Speaker 7>very mediocre uh season to date. You know, you probably

500
00:22:49.640 --> 00:22:51.960
<v Speaker 7>throw a hockey in there as a major sport, and

501
00:22:52.039 --> 00:22:55.000
<v Speaker 7>hockey is doing great obviously in his first year at

502
00:22:55.039 --> 00:22:58.160
<v Speaker 7>the toughest conference in a in all of college hockey.

503
00:22:58.640 --> 00:23:01.240
<v Speaker 7>So all eyes on basketball right now as the major

504
00:23:01.279 --> 00:23:04.799
<v Speaker 7>sport that people are paying attention to. People want to

505
00:23:04.839 --> 00:23:07.920
<v Speaker 7>see it, you know, rise to the level of football

506
00:23:07.960 --> 00:23:11.240
<v Speaker 7>and maybe that's asking the impossible, but at least be

507
00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:14.599
<v Speaker 7>more relevant and have more much more success than it

508
00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:15.319
<v Speaker 7>had this year.

509
00:23:15.640 --> 00:23:16.519
<v Speaker 4>I mean, look, let's.

510
00:23:16.319 --> 00:23:18.079
<v Speaker 7>Face it, this is the most balancing team that Bobby

511
00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:23.319
<v Speaker 7>Hurley assembled. So to see this team not only not

512
00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:27.160
<v Speaker 7>qualify for the Innsulay Tournament but also finished the regular

513
00:23:27.200 --> 00:23:30.319
<v Speaker 7>season with a losing record, that's something that really doesn't

514
00:23:30.319 --> 00:23:33.079
<v Speaker 7>sit well with the fan base and with the boosters.

515
00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:35.160
<v Speaker 4>I think you would have thought he's ten years right,

516
00:23:35.200 --> 00:23:39.160
<v Speaker 4>this is ten years yeah, yeah, so you would have thought,

517
00:23:39.200 --> 00:23:41.599
<v Speaker 4>you know, given the name and he did well at Buffalo,

518
00:23:41.920 --> 00:23:44.920
<v Speaker 4>that this guy who knows basketball apparently and played it

519
00:23:45.039 --> 00:23:48.680
<v Speaker 4>very very well would have had some marginal success at

520
00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:51.440
<v Speaker 4>a issue and it just didn't happen. There has to

521
00:23:51.480 --> 00:23:54.599
<v Speaker 4>be some I'm asking you, did you partly know? There

522
00:23:54.599 --> 00:23:57.200
<v Speaker 4>has to be a reason or two or three because

523
00:23:58.000 --> 00:23:58.920
<v Speaker 4>for it not happening.

524
00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:04.880
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I mean, you know, Bobby Hurley's tenure at ASCO

525
00:24:05.039 --> 00:24:07.799
<v Speaker 7>is not a total failure, and I know maybe some

526
00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:10.200
<v Speaker 7>of his critics would probably point to that, but look,

527
00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:16.319
<v Speaker 7>I mean there's definitely been some pretty pretty impressive moments,

528
00:24:16.319 --> 00:24:21.200
<v Speaker 7>pretty impressive seasons all throughout his tenure. I think that

529
00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:24.440
<v Speaker 7>you know, by and large, Bobby Hurley has not really

530
00:24:24.480 --> 00:24:29.160
<v Speaker 7>surrounded himself, surrounded himself, I'm sorry, with a group of

531
00:24:29.240 --> 00:24:32.319
<v Speaker 7>good competent assistants and a lot of assistants that he

532
00:24:32.359 --> 00:24:35.240
<v Speaker 7>has hired, not only this past season, but really throughout

533
00:24:35.279 --> 00:24:39.240
<v Speaker 7>his ten uere were really just you know, good recruiters

534
00:24:39.240 --> 00:24:41.960
<v Speaker 7>and maybe sometimes even't didn't deliver all that well in

535
00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:45.319
<v Speaker 7>that department. But as far as really good x's and

536
00:24:45.400 --> 00:24:49.000
<v Speaker 7>O x as and o's guys, he really did not

537
00:24:49.599 --> 00:24:54.279
<v Speaker 7>attract those kinds of assistant coaches all throughout the years.

538
00:24:54.319 --> 00:24:56.720
<v Speaker 7>And you know, I think that there were many years

539
00:24:56.720 --> 00:25:00.119
<v Speaker 7>that you need an assistant coach over there that to

540
00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:04.599
<v Speaker 7>be an offensive or defensive coordinator for that matter, somebody

541
00:25:04.640 --> 00:25:07.599
<v Speaker 7>that could really, you know, stand up to Bobby and

542
00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:11.160
<v Speaker 7>say no if he felt that a decision or philosophy

543
00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:14.960
<v Speaker 7>wasn't really you know, going the way it should go.

544
00:25:15.359 --> 00:25:18.000
<v Speaker 7>I mean, Bobby really, you know, had those assistants here

545
00:25:18.039 --> 00:25:20.359
<v Speaker 7>and there, but it's very, very few and far between.

546
00:25:20.880 --> 00:25:21.680
<v Speaker 4>And I just.

547
00:25:21.599 --> 00:25:25.039
<v Speaker 7>Think that especially this year when he had so much

548
00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:29.279
<v Speaker 7>talent and look, i mean, injuries have definitely plagued this

549
00:25:29.279 --> 00:25:32.480
<v Speaker 7>this team, there's no doubt about that. But you know,

550
00:25:32.680 --> 00:25:36.160
<v Speaker 7>you take a player Likensanan, which I'm sure is going

551
00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:39.880
<v Speaker 7>to get quite the welcome in Tucson later on tonight,

552
00:25:40.279 --> 00:25:42.519
<v Speaker 7>but you know, he's a player that hit that that

553
00:25:42.680 --> 00:25:46.279
<v Speaker 7>that freshman wall really early in Big twelve play and

554
00:25:46.400 --> 00:25:50.200
<v Speaker 7>again and you have also the objective element there of

555
00:25:50.480 --> 00:25:52.880
<v Speaker 7>a of an ankle injury in the Big twelve opener.

556
00:25:53.319 --> 00:25:56.559
<v Speaker 7>But to have a really competent assistant coach that can

557
00:25:56.599 --> 00:26:01.799
<v Speaker 7>develop him from the x's and o's perspective, to really

558
00:26:02.519 --> 00:26:06.240
<v Speaker 7>help him as a very young player just overcome the

559
00:26:06.319 --> 00:26:11.200
<v Speaker 7>fact that he has become a focal point of a

560
00:26:11.240 --> 00:26:14.599
<v Speaker 7>scouting report that he cannot really deal with the defenses

561
00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:17.079
<v Speaker 7>that that the teams are throwing at him. If as

562
00:26:17.119 --> 00:26:19.680
<v Speaker 7>who has such an assistant coach on the bench right now,

563
00:26:20.039 --> 00:26:21.960
<v Speaker 7>you know, we're definitely seeing a different so none I

564
00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:25.000
<v Speaker 7>think and definitely saying maybe a different ASU team because

565
00:26:25.039 --> 00:26:28.480
<v Speaker 7>we saw how well the Sun Devil team wasn't was

566
00:26:28.519 --> 00:26:31.680
<v Speaker 7>a non conference play on nine and two some impressive

567
00:26:31.720 --> 00:26:34.920
<v Speaker 7>wins against multiple teams that are going to hear their

568
00:26:35.000 --> 00:26:39.079
<v Speaker 7>name on on selection Sunday, and Sonan was absolutely phenomenal

569
00:26:39.319 --> 00:26:43.319
<v Speaker 7>during the during the non conference season, but once Big

570
00:26:43.319 --> 00:26:47.079
<v Speaker 7>Twelve plays started. He really was an absolute, you know,

571
00:26:47.200 --> 00:26:49.799
<v Speaker 7>shell of himself, and that's where the absence of a

572
00:26:49.839 --> 00:26:54.240
<v Speaker 7>development de a mental assistant coach really really hindered the

573
00:26:54.279 --> 00:26:54.799
<v Speaker 7>sun evels.

574
00:26:55.400 --> 00:26:58.039
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, let me ask you, do you think there'll be

575
00:26:58.119 --> 00:27:01.200
<v Speaker 4>any hangovers not the right word, but a residual effect

576
00:27:01.200 --> 00:27:03.119
<v Speaker 4>from the last time they played tonight?

577
00:27:05.519 --> 00:27:08.559
<v Speaker 7>Look, I mean I think the fans and tooth and are.

578
00:27:08.400 --> 00:27:09.200
<v Speaker 4>Always into it.

579
00:27:09.519 --> 00:27:12.759
<v Speaker 7>When when when a su comes to town, and are

580
00:27:12.759 --> 00:27:15.440
<v Speaker 7>they going to be a little more amped up than usual?

581
00:27:16.000 --> 00:27:16.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

582
00:27:16.240 --> 00:27:19.400
<v Speaker 7>Sure, I think that the defice that that is going

583
00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:21.920
<v Speaker 7>to be there. Uh, you know, because Bobby Hurley is

584
00:27:21.920 --> 00:27:24.480
<v Speaker 7>squarely on the hot seat. I think that also, uh,

585
00:27:24.640 --> 00:27:28.079
<v Speaker 7>does charge up the atmosphere that much more. I talked

586
00:27:28.079 --> 00:27:31.799
<v Speaker 7>a second about Sonnan obviously a former you have a

587
00:27:31.880 --> 00:27:35.400
<v Speaker 7>commit that they decide to make the trip up north

588
00:27:35.440 --> 00:27:38.400
<v Speaker 7>on the I ten. Uh, that's another element, uh that

589
00:27:38.519 --> 00:27:40.640
<v Speaker 7>to consideracy. I think there's definitely a lot of aspects

590
00:27:40.640 --> 00:27:44.480
<v Speaker 7>in play that may make the atmosphere there and Michel

591
00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:47.759
<v Speaker 7>center a little more charged up than he than he

592
00:27:47.839 --> 00:27:51.920
<v Speaker 7>usually is for these acu of a games about you.

593
00:27:51.920 --> 00:27:53.759
<v Speaker 4>You're right behind the you're right in the middle. Right,

594
00:27:54.200 --> 00:27:56.880
<v Speaker 4>you've been to these games a thousand times. You're I'm

595
00:27:56.960 --> 00:27:59.000
<v Speaker 4>sure you're not giving him grief, but you've seen.

596
00:27:58.920 --> 00:28:01.599
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, well to is going to be crazy. I mean,

597
00:28:01.799 --> 00:28:04.440
<v Speaker 3>I mean, they're they're going to be after him tonight.

598
00:28:04.839 --> 00:28:08.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm four, I'm five rows right behind the visitor team,

599
00:28:09.599 --> 00:28:16.119
<v Speaker 2>and there's a couple of regulars that's there that constantly

600
00:28:16.160 --> 00:28:18.599
<v Speaker 2>goes after the coach. And there's a couple of that

601
00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:22.240
<v Speaker 2>in the past, constantly goes after Bobby, and and and

602
00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:25.160
<v Speaker 2>and and and Bobby does he feeds into it. I mean,

603
00:28:25.240 --> 00:28:27.200
<v Speaker 2>he has a way of feeding into it just as well.

604
00:28:27.240 --> 00:28:29.359
<v Speaker 2>But you know, this game might be a little different

605
00:28:29.440 --> 00:28:32.279
<v Speaker 2>because you know, obviously it may be his last game.

606
00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:36.519
<v Speaker 2>So I'm not sure what kind of reaction he's going

607
00:28:36.559 --> 00:28:37.480
<v Speaker 2>to really show.

608
00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:39.119
<v Speaker 4>To this old Let me ask you to I think

609
00:28:39.119 --> 00:28:40.839
<v Speaker 4>what this is about up I think maybe even in

610
00:28:40.880 --> 00:28:43.960
<v Speaker 4>Phoenix media and I'm not sure who asked it, but

611
00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:46.319
<v Speaker 4>it was it was. It was profound. I thought, Uh,

612
00:28:46.440 --> 00:28:50.119
<v Speaker 4>he's animated, he enjoyed. I don't know if he enjoys it,

613
00:28:50.119 --> 00:28:52.160
<v Speaker 4>but he's animated. He gets in the refs, does a

614
00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:53.880
<v Speaker 4>lot of antics and blah blah blah. Do you think

615
00:28:54.000 --> 00:28:59.119
<v Speaker 4>that carries over to the kids that play for him. Yeah.

616
00:28:59.160 --> 00:29:02.960
<v Speaker 7>I mean, I say, think the fact that Bobby Hurley

617
00:29:03.599 --> 00:29:06.960
<v Speaker 7>is a very, very emotional coach, and you know that's

618
00:29:06.960 --> 00:29:11.319
<v Speaker 7>not exactly breaking news for anybody. Let's follow Bobby Hurley

619
00:29:11.400 --> 00:29:13.880
<v Speaker 7>not only in the games against U of A, but

620
00:29:14.039 --> 00:29:17.559
<v Speaker 7>really just in any game as play. I do I

621
00:29:17.559 --> 00:29:22.119
<v Speaker 7>do think players do take after the personality of their coach.

622
00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:22.480
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

623
00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:24.799
<v Speaker 3>There was a string of games.

624
00:29:24.920 --> 00:29:28.759
<v Speaker 7>I think it was maybe four home games in a

625
00:29:28.839 --> 00:29:33.920
<v Speaker 7>row where a player got ejected by an ASU player

626
00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:37.640
<v Speaker 7>I'm sorry, got ejected and obviously one of them happened

627
00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:41.400
<v Speaker 7>against against U of AD Adam Miller. You know, you know,

628
00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:43.400
<v Speaker 7>but but but at the head of of of a

629
00:29:43.519 --> 00:29:45.039
<v Speaker 7>U of A player, and Adam Miller, by the way,

630
00:29:45.160 --> 00:29:49.599
<v Speaker 7>is questionable, uh for tonight. So if he does play,

631
00:29:49.880 --> 00:29:51.799
<v Speaker 7>you can just add that to a long list of

632
00:29:51.880 --> 00:29:54.640
<v Speaker 7>an extra charge up atmosphere at Mcheal Center.

633
00:29:55.039 --> 00:29:55.160
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

634
00:29:55.240 --> 00:29:58.599
<v Speaker 7>But but yeah, but I think that, you know, as

635
00:29:58.680 --> 00:30:00.680
<v Speaker 7>much as you want to see a coach fight for

636
00:30:00.720 --> 00:30:03.279
<v Speaker 7>you as a player and really getting get into it,

637
00:30:03.359 --> 00:30:06.680
<v Speaker 7>the rest and everything, I do, I do feel that

638
00:30:06.359 --> 00:30:09.240
<v Speaker 7>that is that thin line that does cross that it

639
00:30:09.319 --> 00:30:12.039
<v Speaker 7>does get cross, and sometimes there is more harm than

640
00:30:12.079 --> 00:30:15.759
<v Speaker 7>good that that's being done. And when your coach is

641
00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:18.720
<v Speaker 7>frustrated and been sure he can't blame him. I mean,

642
00:30:19.039 --> 00:30:21.160
<v Speaker 7>everything that could have gone wrong in this season, at

643
00:30:21.240 --> 00:30:23.920
<v Speaker 7>least from when Big twelve plays started did go wrong.

644
00:30:24.599 --> 00:30:27.480
<v Speaker 7>I think it does bleed over to the players. So yeah,

645
00:30:27.559 --> 00:30:29.680
<v Speaker 7>I definitely think that. I definitely think it's a correlation

646
00:30:30.519 --> 00:30:32.960
<v Speaker 7>over there. I mean, you have a player like Anna Miller,

647
00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:36.279
<v Speaker 7>who I do feel is a true leader of this

648
00:30:36.359 --> 00:30:39.279
<v Speaker 7>team and definitely not a hot head by any means.

649
00:30:39.319 --> 00:30:42.559
<v Speaker 7>I mean every time I post a uh a post

650
00:30:42.559 --> 00:30:47.359
<v Speaker 7>game video interview with him, I mean even fans of

651
00:30:47.400 --> 00:30:51.319
<v Speaker 7>other teams are just floored by how well spoken he

652
00:30:51.440 --> 00:30:53.440
<v Speaker 7>is and how class he is. And this is the

653
00:30:53.480 --> 00:30:56.279
<v Speaker 7>player that already got ejected now once but twice this season.

654
00:30:56.759 --> 00:30:59.720
<v Speaker 7>And I just feel that if the Waters were calmer

655
00:30:59.799 --> 00:31:02.880
<v Speaker 7>on a bench, as would be comrade.

656
00:31:02.519 --> 00:31:05.119
<v Speaker 4>On the court, right right, And one last thing or

657
00:31:05.160 --> 00:31:08.319
<v Speaker 4>another thing, he said, Bobby said, I don't know, a

658
00:31:08.319 --> 00:31:10.960
<v Speaker 4>week or so ago they had been beat right. He

659
00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:12.599
<v Speaker 4>goes in the locker room and says, they don't even

660
00:31:12.599 --> 00:31:14.240
<v Speaker 4>want to hear from me. You know what can I

661
00:31:14.240 --> 00:31:17.279
<v Speaker 4>tell him? Blah blah blah. You remember what I'm talking about.

662
00:31:17.559 --> 00:31:18.559
<v Speaker 4>That was very strange.

663
00:31:18.720 --> 00:31:21.359
<v Speaker 2>That was very strange to me because Bobby said that

664
00:31:21.440 --> 00:31:22.039
<v Speaker 2>by his players.

665
00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:24.400
<v Speaker 4>These players said that that they didn't want to hear

666
00:31:24.400 --> 00:31:26.079
<v Speaker 4>from him anymore than what are they going to tell him?

667
00:31:26.119 --> 00:31:28.839
<v Speaker 4>Is that accurate? And how did that come about?

668
00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:30.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

669
00:31:30.599 --> 00:31:33.200
<v Speaker 7>I just think Bobby's somebody that, again going to what

670
00:31:33.200 --> 00:31:35.839
<v Speaker 7>he said a second ago, very emotional, always wears his

671
00:31:35.920 --> 00:31:38.920
<v Speaker 7>heart on his sleeve, and and he just probably knew,

672
00:31:39.720 --> 00:31:41.960
<v Speaker 7>you know, probably even weeks before he made that statement

673
00:31:42.000 --> 00:31:45.000
<v Speaker 7>on record that he just cannot get through to the players,

674
00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:48.359
<v Speaker 7>he can't get them to play better. Yeah, again, there

675
00:31:48.359 --> 00:31:50.880
<v Speaker 7>are some key injuries that to to keep in mind.

676
00:31:51.079 --> 00:31:53.480
<v Speaker 7>I definitely don't want anybody to lose to lose sight

677
00:31:53.519 --> 00:31:57.599
<v Speaker 7>of that. But I think that he felt, maybe even

678
00:31:57.599 --> 00:32:00.640
<v Speaker 7>four or five weeks ago, he just cannot navigate this

679
00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:05.480
<v Speaker 7>ship out of the rough waters. So that's one example

680
00:32:05.480 --> 00:32:08.119
<v Speaker 7>where he was honest to a fault, you know, I mean,

681
00:32:08.119 --> 00:32:10.799
<v Speaker 7>he can think it was after the last home game

682
00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:15.160
<v Speaker 7>against by U, he talked about all those injuries or

683
00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:18.240
<v Speaker 7>probably the universe trying to tell me something, and he

684
00:32:18.279 --> 00:32:21.480
<v Speaker 7>said he's doesn't if he's gonna wake up tomorrow at

685
00:32:21.519 --> 00:32:23.119
<v Speaker 7>the rate these things are going and if he does

686
00:32:23.200 --> 00:32:25.319
<v Speaker 7>wake up, he doesn't know what bad news he's going

687
00:32:25.400 --> 00:32:28.000
<v Speaker 7>to get, you know, when he does wake up, you know,

688
00:32:28.039 --> 00:32:30.480
<v Speaker 7>So all those statements, you know, I mean, sure there's

689
00:32:30.480 --> 00:32:33.079
<v Speaker 7>a lot of citizens and then sarcasm in it, but

690
00:32:33.079 --> 00:32:36.680
<v Speaker 7>I think it just really just reflects the frustration that.

691
00:32:36.279 --> 00:32:37.440
<v Speaker 4>That Bobby Hurley is having.

692
00:32:37.440 --> 00:32:39.920
<v Speaker 7>And again going back to an earlier point, you know,

693
00:32:39.960 --> 00:32:44.319
<v Speaker 7>when you have the players just seeing that upward frustration

694
00:32:44.920 --> 00:32:46.960
<v Speaker 7>in public and I don't even talking about what's happening

695
00:32:47.279 --> 00:32:50.440
<v Speaker 7>in the locker room behind close doors and practices, does

696
00:32:50.480 --> 00:32:55.799
<v Speaker 7>everything is really compounding. So again, just a really really

697
00:32:55.880 --> 00:32:59.960
<v Speaker 7>tough situation and a really tough environment that Bobby Hurley

698
00:33:00.079 --> 00:33:01.160
<v Speaker 7>is trying to navigate through.

699
00:33:01.839 --> 00:33:02.640
<v Speaker 3>Do you do you.

700
00:33:02.640 --> 00:33:08.599
<v Speaker 2>See if Bobby is not if Bobby is dismissed from

701
00:33:08.640 --> 00:33:11.920
<v Speaker 2>his job this year, do you see a place for

702
00:33:12.119 --> 00:33:13.559
<v Speaker 2>Bobby in basketball?

703
00:33:15.839 --> 00:33:18.480
<v Speaker 7>I mean, I think that there's definitely one team that

704
00:33:18.519 --> 00:33:22.160
<v Speaker 7>would take a flyer on him. I definitely could see that.

705
00:33:22.359 --> 00:33:24.119
<v Speaker 7>I mean, you know, obviously, when you have a coach

706
00:33:24.400 --> 00:33:28.279
<v Speaker 7>coming off back to back losing seasons, you're not exactly.

707
00:33:27.880 --> 00:33:28.759
<v Speaker 3>A hot commodity.

708
00:33:28.839 --> 00:33:31.880
<v Speaker 7>But the Bobby Hurley name, I think in some circles

709
00:33:31.920 --> 00:33:35.000
<v Speaker 7>and some airs of the country is going to carry

710
00:33:35.279 --> 00:33:38.039
<v Speaker 7>more weight than others. I mean, would it be surprised

711
00:33:38.039 --> 00:33:41.000
<v Speaker 7>if maybe a team from the East Coast, you know,

712
00:33:41.119 --> 00:33:44.359
<v Speaker 7>close to his hometown of New Jersey, would want to

713
00:33:44.400 --> 00:33:49.319
<v Speaker 7>take a chance on him. Would it be a mid

714
00:33:49.400 --> 00:33:52.480
<v Speaker 7>major versus a high major? Yes, I think that would

715
00:33:52.519 --> 00:33:55.240
<v Speaker 7>be fair to say in terms of in terms of

716
00:33:55.359 --> 00:33:58.480
<v Speaker 7>a probable scenario. I mean, look, I mean, you know

717
00:33:58.799 --> 00:34:00.799
<v Speaker 7>you know that sports is what have you done for

718
00:34:00.839 --> 00:34:03.559
<v Speaker 7>me lately? And again, I mean when you talk about

719
00:34:03.599 --> 00:34:06.039
<v Speaker 7>a coach that's coming off of a back to back

720
00:34:06.079 --> 00:34:08.320
<v Speaker 7>losing season, your stock is it's not going to be

721
00:34:08.400 --> 00:34:11.199
<v Speaker 7>that hot. I mean, that's not really any big revelation.

722
00:34:11.320 --> 00:34:13.920
<v Speaker 7>But by me stating that, so, I think there's a

723
00:34:13.920 --> 00:34:16.519
<v Speaker 7>place for Bobby Hurley. But I also think that it

724
00:34:16.599 --> 00:34:18.880
<v Speaker 7>probably be a mid major, not a high major, and

725
00:34:19.119 --> 00:34:23.280
<v Speaker 7>maybe again summer closer to the East Coast, where you know,

726
00:34:23.360 --> 00:34:26.719
<v Speaker 7>his name does still carry a lot of weight. Obviously,

727
00:34:26.719 --> 00:34:28.960
<v Speaker 7>you know, he comes from you know, you know, the

728
00:34:29.079 --> 00:34:31.639
<v Speaker 7>basketball royalty, in terms of his dad being in the

729
00:34:31.639 --> 00:34:34.639
<v Speaker 7>Hall of Fame, his brother winning up you know, back

730
00:34:34.679 --> 00:34:38.559
<v Speaker 7>to back championships with Yukon, so I think that maybe

731
00:34:38.639 --> 00:34:42.480
<v Speaker 7>the East Coast might be one area that might be

732
00:34:42.519 --> 00:34:44.840
<v Speaker 7>more apt to hire Bobby Early compared to the rest

733
00:34:44.880 --> 00:34:45.360
<v Speaker 7>of the country.

734
00:34:45.440 --> 00:34:47.639
<v Speaker 4>So so last question, I know you you probably do

735
00:34:47.679 --> 00:34:51.000
<v Speaker 4>your due diligence very well. If he's not there, I'm

736
00:34:51.039 --> 00:34:54.000
<v Speaker 4>sure you have a short list already.

737
00:34:55.639 --> 00:34:58.039
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I mean I short list rather not said on

738
00:34:58.079 --> 00:34:59.880
<v Speaker 7>the phone on an interview, but yeah, I mean, I

739
00:35:00.800 --> 00:35:06.159
<v Speaker 7>there are some candidates which which have expressed the you know,

740
00:35:06.199 --> 00:35:08.719
<v Speaker 7>a desire in in the ac job. I don't.

741
00:35:08.719 --> 00:35:12.519
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it's a bad job at all, you know,

742
00:35:12.639 --> 00:35:16.199
<v Speaker 2>I mean what is attractive about coming to issue for basketball?

743
00:35:16.280 --> 00:35:17.360
<v Speaker 3>I mean, where's the attraction?

744
00:35:18.760 --> 00:35:21.159
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, look, I think I think just uh, you know,

745
00:35:21.239 --> 00:35:23.159
<v Speaker 7>really maybe a lot a lot of it is off

746
00:35:23.159 --> 00:35:26.639
<v Speaker 7>the court, just living in a place, you know, like

747
00:35:26.639 --> 00:35:30.320
<v Speaker 7>like Phoenix, like like Maricopa County, which is in an

748
00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:32.159
<v Speaker 7>area that is very very attractive. You do have an

749
00:35:32.239 --> 00:35:35.159
<v Speaker 7>NBA team in your backyard and in the in the

750
00:35:35.199 --> 00:35:37.760
<v Speaker 7>Phoenix Suns. You know, the news just came out a

751
00:35:37.760 --> 00:35:40.159
<v Speaker 7>couple of weeks ago James Harden, one of the most

752
00:35:40.159 --> 00:35:41.920
<v Speaker 7>noble players in the n b A and the uh

753
00:35:42.280 --> 00:35:45.400
<v Speaker 7>and the really uh high high dollar amount of nil

754
00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:48.679
<v Speaker 7>that he contributes. I really do things as their practice facility,

755
00:35:49.000 --> 00:35:52.320
<v Speaker 7>it's definitely one of the better ones among among high

756
00:35:52.360 --> 00:35:55.159
<v Speaker 7>major programs. You know, you can talk about you know,

757
00:35:55.199 --> 00:35:57.480
<v Speaker 7>there's a financial arena but being you know, you know,

758
00:35:57.559 --> 00:36:00.760
<v Speaker 7>being antiquated, but you know, it's still not not a

759
00:36:00.760 --> 00:36:03.960
<v Speaker 7>whole goal or not to play basketball in. And you know,

760
00:36:04.079 --> 00:36:06.280
<v Speaker 7>like others said, it really is more about the NIL

761
00:36:06.360 --> 00:36:08.639
<v Speaker 7>money rather than what kind of arena that that that

762
00:36:08.760 --> 00:36:10.960
<v Speaker 7>them that you are playing. And you know, in a

763
00:36:11.079 --> 00:36:13.599
<v Speaker 7>su being one of the biggest universities in the country,

764
00:36:13.719 --> 00:36:16.679
<v Speaker 7>I think there's definitely some elements that go into ASU's favor.

765
00:36:16.679 --> 00:36:17.880
<v Speaker 7>I'm not going to sit here and tell you that's

766
00:36:17.880 --> 00:36:20.760
<v Speaker 7>the most desirable head coaching job that's going to open

767
00:36:20.840 --> 00:36:24.639
<v Speaker 7>up over the next few weeks, but I definitely would

768
00:36:24.679 --> 00:36:28.559
<v Speaker 7>put it in the top ten versus versus the top twenty,

769
00:36:29.039 --> 00:36:31.280
<v Speaker 7>you know, in terms of the jobs that happen.

770
00:36:31.119 --> 00:36:31.840
<v Speaker 3>Will open up.

771
00:36:32.039 --> 00:36:35.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I just real quick, I think they if they

772
00:36:35.480 --> 00:36:37.960
<v Speaker 4>find the right guy, and maybe it doesn't happen this year,

773
00:36:38.159 --> 00:36:40.199
<v Speaker 4>when I find the right guy, this team could or

774
00:36:40.239 --> 00:36:43.000
<v Speaker 4>this program could really take off. I did up briefly

775
00:36:43.039 --> 00:36:47.199
<v Speaker 4>with brief fader Feeder Fraider of Jesus Christ. Bill uh

776
00:36:48.559 --> 00:36:50.599
<v Speaker 4>Uh it did for you know, a moment or two,

777
00:36:50.960 --> 00:36:53.079
<v Speaker 4>ninety five, ninety six, whatever it was. Uh, they can

778
00:36:53.119 --> 00:36:55.320
<v Speaker 4>they can happen. You know. I have a couple of

779
00:36:55.360 --> 00:36:58.559
<v Speaker 4>names out there too that could fit perfectly here. But

780
00:36:58.960 --> 00:37:00.280
<v Speaker 4>unless it happens, it happened.

781
00:37:00.199 --> 00:37:04.280
<v Speaker 7>Right, Yeah, yeah, that is true. I mean I'll just drop,

782
00:37:04.599 --> 00:37:07.639
<v Speaker 7>you know, a quick nugget and say that you definitely

783
00:37:07.639 --> 00:37:09.679
<v Speaker 7>want to keep an eye on coaches.

784
00:37:09.920 --> 00:37:11.679
<v Speaker 3>They do have ties to the Valley of the Sun,

785
00:37:12.599 --> 00:37:12.800
<v Speaker 3>you know.

786
00:37:12.920 --> 00:37:16.639
<v Speaker 7>Those I'm not saying they're shoeings to replace Bobby Hurley.

787
00:37:16.719 --> 00:37:18.559
<v Speaker 7>And again, and I'm not here also to suggest the

788
00:37:18.599 --> 00:37:21.880
<v Speaker 7>decision was already made, But I just feel that that's

789
00:37:21.679 --> 00:37:24.960
<v Speaker 7>that's the current uh that is taking place right down

790
00:37:25.039 --> 00:37:26.880
<v Speaker 7>to MP. I think that's that's something fair to say.

791
00:37:27.000 --> 00:37:30.719
<v Speaker 7>But yeah, I would say that any uh uh current

792
00:37:30.920 --> 00:37:32.679
<v Speaker 7>head coach of another team that does have ties to

793
00:37:32.719 --> 00:37:35.960
<v Speaker 7>the valley, if you're looking to make uh some kind

794
00:37:36.000 --> 00:37:38.440
<v Speaker 7>of hot list, uh, you know, on a piece of paper,

795
00:37:38.679 --> 00:37:40.119
<v Speaker 7>those are definitely probably the names that you want to

796
00:37:40.119 --> 00:37:40.360
<v Speaker 7>look at.

797
00:37:40.519 --> 00:37:43.079
<v Speaker 4>Nice I'm gonna google it right now. Thank you man,

798
00:37:43.760 --> 00:37:50.119
<v Speaker 4>thank you, good luck. So appreciate it. Yeah, I still

799
00:37:50.159 --> 00:37:55.199
<v Speaker 4>think there's the New Mexico coach Rich Bettino. Rich doing

800
00:37:55.400 --> 00:37:58.559
<v Speaker 4>very well. And there's a guy you at Mississippi State.

801
00:37:58.599 --> 00:38:01.280
<v Speaker 4>He was at New Mexico State. Killed it there. Now

802
00:38:01.280 --> 00:38:03.199
<v Speaker 4>I was doing pretty well in Mississippi State. Heck of

803
00:38:03.239 --> 00:38:05.719
<v Speaker 4>a coach, because if you can win in New Mexico State,

804
00:38:05.800 --> 00:38:09.320
<v Speaker 4>you should win there. You could win. Thank you. Okay,

805
00:38:09.480 --> 00:38:11.199
<v Speaker 4>we hold that up. We got to take a break

806
00:38:11.239 --> 00:38:12.880
<v Speaker 4>and we'll come back for the last ten minutes. If

810
00:38:20.800 --> 00:38:22.320
<v Speaker 4>it was a labor of love through the eyes of

811
00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:25.599
<v Speaker 4>twenty five former players, coaches, and friends to give insight

812
00:38:25.639 --> 00:38:27.960
<v Speaker 4>to the coach and the man who led them, competed

813
00:38:27.960 --> 00:38:30.599
<v Speaker 4>against them, and inspired them. Twenty five chapters for his

814
00:38:30.679 --> 00:38:34.280
<v Speaker 4>twenty five years as Arizona's beloved coach. Lessons from Lut

00:41:35.760 --> 00:41:38.119
<v Speaker 4>I'm sure you're looking forward to again. Anything interesting that

875
00:41:38.159 --> 00:41:41.440
<v Speaker 4>Hot said about ASU Did you already know you? You

876
00:41:41.440 --> 00:41:45.960
<v Speaker 4>you you came here right? What was their what was

877
00:41:46.039 --> 00:41:49.880
<v Speaker 4>their image back in the day in basketball? No, no, no, football?

878
00:41:50.599 --> 00:41:52.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean everybody, when you think about when you

879
00:41:52.840 --> 00:41:55.559
<v Speaker 2>talk about the state of Arizona, it was a sup before.

880
00:41:56.239 --> 00:41:59.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they were the the team in the state

881
00:41:59.440 --> 00:42:00.000
<v Speaker 2>of Arizona.

882
00:42:00.199 --> 00:42:00.760
<v Speaker 4>We were not.

883
00:42:00.880 --> 00:42:04.280
<v Speaker 2>We was always the step How was that being the

884
00:42:04.320 --> 00:42:07.280
<v Speaker 2>step child, Well, it motivated us to kick their butts,

885
00:42:07.639 --> 00:42:09.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, and rename that, you know, become you know,

886
00:42:10.039 --> 00:42:12.320
<v Speaker 2>not the step child to that school. Okay, so now

887
00:42:12.519 --> 00:42:14.599
<v Speaker 2>now for most of the part it was kind of

888
00:42:14.599 --> 00:42:16.679
<v Speaker 2>like an even step child after all that, because you

889
00:42:16.719 --> 00:42:18.440
<v Speaker 2>went on the street, right, they've.

890
00:42:18.480 --> 00:42:20.280
<v Speaker 3>Took it around. I think I think we took it,

891
00:42:20.320 --> 00:42:21.079
<v Speaker 3>took it over over.

892
00:42:21.320 --> 00:42:24.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but then and they did, they came back back,

893
00:42:25.719 --> 00:42:27.679
<v Speaker 2>you know, always just lost my train of thought, which

894
00:42:27.719 --> 00:42:30.039
<v Speaker 2>is not a surprise. But you would think you would

895
00:42:30.039 --> 00:42:33.480
<v Speaker 2>think in the population you know that school is in

896
00:42:33.679 --> 00:42:36.000
<v Speaker 2>would kill it, that it should be much better than

897
00:42:36.599 --> 00:42:39.880
<v Speaker 2>particularly basketball, you know, because you have sports, well all sports,

898
00:42:39.880 --> 00:42:43.039
<v Speaker 2>you absolutely, but but basketball should be like a dream place,

899
00:42:43.760 --> 00:42:46.960
<v Speaker 2>dream place for for kids to come to and a coach.

900
00:42:46.760 --> 00:42:47.039
<v Speaker 3>To be that.

907
00:43:07.960 --> 00:43:12.840
<v Speaker 2>no jealousy from your ends. No, no, none, whatsoever. I

908
00:43:12.840 --> 00:43:15.679
<v Speaker 2>mean I'm so past that. Yeah, yeah, you know, I

909
00:43:15.679 --> 00:43:17.119
<v Speaker 2>mean if I was in the meat of it, i'd

910
00:43:17.119 --> 00:43:18.119
<v Speaker 2>probably be a little jealous.

911
00:43:18.119 --> 00:43:19.039
<v Speaker 3>But I'm so past that.

912
00:43:19.239 --> 00:43:22.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, not at all so but but but it's gonna

913
00:43:22.360 --> 00:43:25.719
<v Speaker 2>be interesting to see if there's some changes up there

914
00:43:25.840 --> 00:43:28.320
<v Speaker 2>and how they're gonna, you know, deal with those changes.

915
00:43:28.440 --> 00:43:30.559
<v Speaker 2>Right well, to your point, I was gonna ask you, okay,

916
00:43:30.639 --> 00:43:33.000
<v Speaker 2>you asked them about just the facility and stuff like that.

917
00:43:33.239 --> 00:43:36.119
<v Speaker 4>They've never really put that money money into it. I

918
00:43:36.760 --> 00:43:39.159
<v Speaker 4>have no idea they're gonna start now with a new ad.

919
00:43:39.280 --> 00:43:41.039
<v Speaker 4>They're gonna start kind of doing that stuff. You built

920
00:43:41.079 --> 00:43:45.079
<v Speaker 4>a hockey facility, which is strange, strange, Yeah, exactly, beautiful

921
00:43:45.119 --> 00:43:47.920
<v Speaker 4>hockey facility. Yeah, I mean you put money, they're pretty

922
00:43:47.920 --> 00:43:51.159
<v Speaker 4>good football stadium, which is one of the best football stadiums,

923
00:43:51.440 --> 00:43:54.039
<v Speaker 4>and you still got a nice outdoor turn and just

924
00:43:54.079 --> 00:43:56.280
<v Speaker 4>recently I think they got lightning in a bottle with

925
00:43:56.480 --> 00:44:00.400
<v Speaker 4>doing how right they're doing exactly what was one that

926
00:44:00.440 --> 00:44:01.239
<v Speaker 4>did for that one year?

927
00:44:01.400 --> 00:44:03.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we had a good year. Right now we're got

928
00:44:03.400 --> 00:44:06.800
<v Speaker 2>to see now we're gonna see trying to continue exactly instead,

929
00:44:06.920 --> 00:44:08.519
<v Speaker 2>So he that that one good year?

930
00:44:08.719 --> 00:44:10.000
<v Speaker 3>Is it that twelve and one year?

931
00:44:10.199 --> 00:44:10.599
<v Speaker 4>Right? Okay?

932
00:44:10.639 --> 00:44:12.519
<v Speaker 2>And then you get back to where you normally are,

933
00:44:12.679 --> 00:44:14.760
<v Speaker 2>so you know it's but but.

934
00:44:14.400 --> 00:44:15.679
<v Speaker 3>Again it baffles me.

935
00:44:15.800 --> 00:44:19.039
<v Speaker 2>With the population up there and the opportunity to to

936
00:44:19.119 --> 00:44:21.719
<v Speaker 2>get kids to that that community, why not.

937
00:44:21.880 --> 00:44:22.800
<v Speaker 3>Well, the funny thing is.

938
00:44:22.760 --> 00:44:24.719
<v Speaker 4>You asked him, and I think the world the uote

939
00:44:25.119 --> 00:44:28.000
<v Speaker 4>about what's the what's the uh what what is it

940
00:44:28.000 --> 00:44:30.000
<v Speaker 4>about it? Right? And he brought up, well, you have Phoenix,

941
00:44:30.079 --> 00:44:32.880
<v Speaker 4>it's a metro, you have the sons, and blah blah blah.

942
00:44:32.920 --> 00:44:33.800
<v Speaker 4>I think the sons are.

943
00:44:33.719 --> 00:44:38.360
<v Speaker 2>Against you because this competitions competition, right, whether you live

944
00:44:38.360 --> 00:44:40.079
<v Speaker 2>in Phoenix from scott Still or whatever, and you have

00:44:40.119 --> 00:44:42.239
<v Speaker 2>to come down to the school to coach.

946
00:44:42.920 --> 00:44:45.159
<v Speaker 4>There's plenty of places in tenp It's a nice place.

<v Speaker 2>Also where it goes against them too? Is it too big?

950
00:44:51.159 --> 00:44:53.320
<v Speaker 2>You know, you got you got families and kids that

951
00:44:53.400 --> 00:44:55.119
<v Speaker 2>don't want to be in that big population.

952
00:44:55.400 --> 00:44:55.599
<v Speaker 8>You know.

953
00:44:55.679 --> 00:44:57.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean me personally, I hate for you. I mean

00:45:05.480 --> 00:45:07.400
<v Speaker 2>you go in the place. I mean, you really can't

<v Speaker 2>that way. How long have you had those tickets, those

00:45:57.480 --> 00:45:57.760
<v Speaker 4>Organs.

978
00:45:57.840 --> 00:46:03.159
<v Speaker 2>You know, Actually I like the Utah coach they got fired, Cristo.

979
00:46:03.320 --> 00:46:05.519
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean that cat was. I mean I really liked.

980
00:46:05.440 --> 00:46:07.920
<v Speaker 4>That you weren't there like for the Bibby's and for

981
00:46:07.960 --> 00:46:08.440
<v Speaker 4>the ravelings.

982
00:46:08.480 --> 00:46:10.920
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, no, no, actually I had tickets behind the

983
00:46:11.000 --> 00:46:16.480
<v Speaker 2>team for that further up, okay, which team, don't team?

984
00:46:16.559 --> 00:46:19.559
<v Speaker 2>Our team. It's like ten rolls up, you know. But

985
00:46:19.599 --> 00:46:21.639
<v Speaker 2>then we moved over to the middle, to the middle,

986
00:46:21.920 --> 00:46:24.360
<v Speaker 2>to the right side. But it's gonna be interesting. Like

987
00:46:24.360 --> 00:46:26.159
<v Speaker 2>I said, man, there's a couple of people that say,

988
00:46:26.239 --> 00:46:29.639
<v Speaker 2>you know, exactly purposely they're there for that reason. I

989
00:46:29.679 --> 00:46:33.039
<v Speaker 2>think they're just to just the you know, hammer on the.

990
00:46:34.400 --> 00:46:36.280
<v Speaker 4>Days to get along. They've been there for a long time.

991
00:46:36.320 --> 00:46:39.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, oh yeah, it's just so comical to listen

992
00:46:39.079 --> 00:46:40.960
<v Speaker 2>to you. Were you there when they hit the last

993
00:46:40.960 --> 00:46:43.079
<v Speaker 2>shot two years ago? The last shot and they wanted

994
00:46:43.079 --> 00:46:45.639
<v Speaker 2>the last second the shoe game. Yeah, so they hits

995
00:46:45.639 --> 00:46:46.480
<v Speaker 2>the last second.

996
00:46:46.559 --> 00:46:50.400
<v Speaker 4>Cambridge hits last I had and Bobby was excited and

997
00:46:50.440 --> 00:46:52.360
<v Speaker 4>then he started and then he came back.

998
00:46:52.480 --> 00:46:54.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he came back and they got after him. They

999
00:46:54.559 --> 00:46:56.920
<v Speaker 2>got after him in the corner there and it's right

1000
00:46:57.000 --> 00:46:59.199
<v Speaker 2>by the student section too. That's make it even worse.

1001
00:46:59.320 --> 00:47:03.880
<v Speaker 2>And Bobby, his son was on that ye oh, you

1002
00:47:03.920 --> 00:47:06.320
<v Speaker 2>know he's a senior this year. Yeah, okay, so he's

1003
00:47:06.360 --> 00:47:08.000
<v Speaker 2>on the team this year. Yeah, because his son was

1004
00:47:08.039 --> 00:47:09.880
<v Speaker 2>on the team. And I remember they was getting at

1005
00:47:09.920 --> 00:47:12.920
<v Speaker 2>their son in that corner there and stuff. And then

1006
00:47:13.039 --> 00:47:15.719
<v Speaker 2>you know, and then they have these the reserve seats

1007
00:47:16.719 --> 00:47:19.199
<v Speaker 2>in the due corner there to right of me for

1008
00:47:19.360 --> 00:47:21.679
<v Speaker 2>the s U fans, family and ads.

1009
00:47:21.719 --> 00:47:25.400
<v Speaker 4>And let me ask you a question. You can answer

1010
00:47:25.400 --> 00:47:27.719
<v Speaker 4>it however you want. Obviously, what did you think of

1011
00:47:27.760 --> 00:47:31.000
<v Speaker 4>the b y U stuff and the chanting of the

1012
00:47:31.079 --> 00:47:32.920
<v Speaker 4>kids and just the bad language.

1013
00:47:33.039 --> 00:47:35.440
<v Speaker 2>Well, and I don't think it's a place for it,

1014
00:47:35.480 --> 00:47:37.880
<v Speaker 2>but you know, we can't control young kids. I mean,

1015
00:47:38.079 --> 00:47:39.800
<v Speaker 2>I mean, these kids are gonna think the way they

1016
00:47:39.840 --> 00:47:42.320
<v Speaker 2>want to think, and they're gonna say what they want

1017
00:47:42.360 --> 00:47:44.920
<v Speaker 2>to say, you know. But you know, at times there's

1018
00:47:44.960 --> 00:47:49.360
<v Speaker 2>not a place, particularly you know, with a university like that,

1019
00:47:49.519 --> 00:47:53.559
<v Speaker 2>and when you talk about something that's to me that's

1020
00:47:53.800 --> 00:47:59.239
<v Speaker 2>religious or or personal or racial anything like that, there's

1021
00:47:59.280 --> 00:48:00.960
<v Speaker 2>no place for it, you know. So I I I

1022
00:48:01.400 --> 00:48:04.360
<v Speaker 2>hope these kids learn from that and they grow from that,

1023
00:48:04.559 --> 00:48:06.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, and and and and not let it be

1024
00:48:07.159 --> 00:48:09.519
<v Speaker 2>you know, part of their they're they're.

1025
00:48:09.719 --> 00:48:12.599
<v Speaker 3>Chanting that they do right? Right, No, I think it

1026
00:48:12.760 --> 00:48:14.079
<v Speaker 3>wasn't right. It wasn't there right.

1027
00:48:14.119 --> 00:48:16.599
<v Speaker 4>We talked about it before, right, No, I wasn't there.

1028
00:48:16.920 --> 00:48:19.559
<v Speaker 3>But you were. If you were there, what, Oh, not

1029
00:48:19.639 --> 00:48:23.480
<v Speaker 3>a chance? My friends were so but you you.

1030
00:48:23.440 --> 00:48:27.000
<v Speaker 4>Would did say that you weren't surprised. No, because of

1031
00:48:27.000 --> 00:48:28.360
<v Speaker 4>the because of who they are.

1032
00:48:29.719 --> 00:48:33.639
<v Speaker 5>During the duke game, there's like chance about do some players.

1033
00:48:33.639 --> 00:48:37.280
<v Speaker 5>So I wasn't that surprised. But is it a certain group? No,

1034
00:48:37.320 --> 00:48:38.400
<v Speaker 5>I would say it's everyone.

1035
00:48:38.519 --> 00:48:39.760
<v Speaker 3>It is everyone once.

1036
00:48:40.199 --> 00:48:42.480

<v Speaker 2>person may be saying, or individual a small group may

1038
00:48:45.559 --> 00:48:45.880

<v Speaker 3>Well, he got a big streme. He's part of a frat.

<v Speaker 3>They get the got two TVs. Oh okay, yeah, all right.

1061
00:49:32.079 --> 00:49:35.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, like I said, I'm I'm just excited to see

1062
00:49:36.159 --> 00:49:39.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, uh Bobby's reaction, you know, the whole game,

1063
00:49:39.960 --> 00:49:41.679
<v Speaker 2>and and and then and like say, at the end

1064
00:49:41.679 --> 00:49:43.480
<v Speaker 2>of the game, will they shake hands?

1065
00:49:43.800 --> 00:49:45.039
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm sure they will.

1066
00:49:45.360 --> 00:49:48.440
<v Speaker 4>He apologized later on maybe a day or two, literally

1067
00:49:48.519 --> 00:49:49.920
<v Speaker 4>calling I guess they talked to me.

1068
00:49:50.360 --> 00:49:53.039
<v Speaker 3>Oh, he pobed directly to Tommy. Tommy, Yeah, and they

1069
00:49:53.880 --> 00:49:54.599
<v Speaker 3>that night. I think.

1070
00:49:55.159 --> 00:49:58.559
<v Speaker 4>Let me ask you, how after a discussion what we

1071
00:49:58.599 --> 00:50:00.840
<v Speaker 4>talked the good points in about points of this team,

1072
00:50:01.599 --> 00:50:02.880
<v Speaker 4>how far are they gonna go.

1073
00:50:04.400 --> 00:50:07.519
<v Speaker 2>Our basketball team in the tournament, in the big tournament. God,

1074
00:50:08.000 --> 00:50:08.599
<v Speaker 2>it's you.

1075
00:50:08.559 --> 00:50:10.679
<v Speaker 3>Know what, you know what I think.

1076
00:50:11.119 --> 00:50:14.079
<v Speaker 2>I think playing in the in the Big twelve, it's

1077
00:50:14.119 --> 00:50:18.079
<v Speaker 2>going to allow us to advance a few games that

1078
00:50:18.159 --> 00:50:20.599
<v Speaker 2>we probably would not advance if we did not play

1079
00:50:21.039 --> 00:50:24.199
<v Speaker 2>the type of opponents we played last year. And I

1080
00:50:24.239 --> 00:50:27.800
<v Speaker 2>think because it was a more physical season for us,

1081
00:50:29.239 --> 00:50:31.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, I think it put us in the situation

1082
00:50:31.039 --> 00:50:33.880
<v Speaker 2>where we will be prepared, you know, for you know,

1083
00:50:34.039 --> 00:50:36.960
<v Speaker 2>games that we lost in the past year. So with

1084
00:50:37.039 --> 00:50:40.239
<v Speaker 2>that in mind, I can see ourselves at least advancing,

1085
00:50:40.519 --> 00:50:42.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, three games.

1086
00:50:42.320 --> 00:50:43.920
<v Speaker 4>Oh really, I get you to the lead.

1087
00:50:44.119 --> 00:50:45.519
<v Speaker 3>Well depends on who were playing.

1088
00:50:45.199 --> 00:50:45.519
<v Speaker 4>Of course.

1089
00:50:47.280 --> 00:50:49.480
<v Speaker 2>So if they get to the sweet sixteen, good season.

1090
00:50:49.519 --> 00:50:53.960
<v Speaker 2>Good season today, very good season. So you're gonna miss
