<v Speaker 4>two shoes.

9
00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:33.560
<v Speaker 5>We hit the Lindo on a Monday, starting off breaking

10
00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:38.280
<v Speaker 5>news with some Arizona athletics. The gymnastics team got a

11
00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:40.880
<v Speaker 5>little bit of maybe a surprise win up in ten

12
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:43.840
<v Speaker 5>B yesterday. Oh yeah, they beat the Sun Doubles for

13
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:48.399
<v Speaker 5>the first time. I'm not sure, like twenty seventeen ish,

14
00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:51.439
<v Speaker 5>I can't remember. They don't really beat them very often. No,

15
00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:54.079
<v Speaker 5>I think it was twenty seventeen regular She's I'm just

16
00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:54.799
<v Speaker 5>throwing the numbers.

17
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:56.359
<v Speaker 4>Downt's see if I can find it.

18
00:00:56.439 --> 00:01:00.560
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, final score of one hundred and ninety six point

19
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:03.560
<v Speaker 5>sixty five to one and ninety five point seventy two.

20
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:03.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

21
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:05.760
<v Speaker 2>I think I read somewhere that it's been a while

22
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:08.840
<v Speaker 2>where they've beaten them in the regular season. I guess

23
00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:11.359
<v Speaker 2>they beat them recently. In the in the postseason, but

24
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:12.280
<v Speaker 2>it's a rare win.

25
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:15.719
<v Speaker 6>The cool thing about gymnastics, too, is that these Olympians

26
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.239
<v Speaker 6>are coming back to colleges and competing. Like there's Jade

27
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:24.200
<v Speaker 6>care Is from Gilbert's, Arizona. She's still competing for Oregon State.

28
00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:26.239
<v Speaker 6>She's been in two Olympics, and we're getting a chance

29
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:29.159
<v Speaker 6>to see them, you know, in college. Unfortunately, they're not

30
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:31.640
<v Speaker 6>in the pack ten anymore Pac twelve, but it's kind

31
00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:34.239
<v Speaker 6>of neat every once in a while it's just like, ooh, didn't.

32
00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:38.319
<v Speaker 4>I just watch her this summer? Yeah, so graduations to them.

33
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:42.439
<v Speaker 5>The men's tennis team had their ITA kickoff weekend where

34
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:44.840
<v Speaker 5>they had a chance to advance to the it ITA

35
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:46.359
<v Speaker 5>Indoor Championships.

36
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:49.000
<v Speaker 4>They beat USC on Saturday.

37
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:52.319
<v Speaker 5>Four zero, but lost a very close one to UCF

38
00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:53.760
<v Speaker 5>yesterday three to four.

39
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:57.239
<v Speaker 4>That's a good program, yeah, a solid at They six

40
00:01:57.280 --> 00:01:57.719
<v Speaker 4>in the nation.

41
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:05.519
<v Speaker 2>They are Coach Court right, Coach oh Shields. Yeah, I'll

42
00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:06.920
<v Speaker 2>say this, and I say this to when he's on

43
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:09.520
<v Speaker 2>the show every time, the best coach at you a right, now,

44
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:13.879
<v Speaker 2>how do you move that program to that height and

45
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:16.039
<v Speaker 2>just kind of beat the tennis program, you know, just

46
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:19.319
<v Speaker 2>kind of like, holy crap, I mean every year's the

47
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:20.319
<v Speaker 2>last three or four years.

48
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:23.280
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I mean they've had, you know, way back when

49
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:25.599
<v Speaker 6>they had some pretty good talent, but there was very

50
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:27.919
<v Speaker 6>slow for a number. You just didn't even really pay

51
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:30.240
<v Speaker 6>attention to them. They weren't doing all that well.

52
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:31.360
<v Speaker 4>No they are.

53
00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:34.240
<v Speaker 2>And they've had the staffords or the UCLA's or USC

54
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:37.240
<v Speaker 2>is the goal against, right, and now they're beating them.

55
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:40.719
<v Speaker 4>They are they are the team to beat. Yeah, amazing.

56
00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:44.199
<v Speaker 5>They had that the USC game at the same time

57
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:47.080
<v Speaker 5>as the basketball. It was a pretty good crowd considering

58
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:50.240
<v Speaker 5>men's basketball was happening. That's probably where the rest of

59
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:53.800
<v Speaker 5>the sellout on the on the Saturday, that's probably where

60
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:54.800
<v Speaker 5>the rest of the sellout was.

61
00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:55.199
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

62
00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:58.159
<v Speaker 2>I was wondering because the parking, did you go? Yeah,

63
00:02:58.199 --> 00:02:59.000
<v Speaker 2>parking is the parking?

64
00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:01.360
<v Speaker 5>No parking for tennis, right, I got I got to

65
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:03.439
<v Speaker 5>park because I had the no no no, no, no

66
00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:04.639
<v Speaker 5>no metoe for the fans.

67
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:06.960
<v Speaker 4>The fans fans, Yeah, they had to go pay somewhere else.

68
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:09.840
<v Speaker 4>I heard a fan yelling at that paid twenty dollars

69
00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:11.759
<v Speaker 4>for this and yeah ye stuff like that.

70
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:17.879
<v Speaker 5>So Gradua'll they'll be looking to bounce back a couple

71
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:21.800
<v Speaker 5>of Fridays from now against Utah State to the women's team.

72
00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:24.159
<v Speaker 5>They got a good win on Saturday following the men's

73
00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:28.520
<v Speaker 5>team seventy seven to sixty two against number sixteen West Virginia,

74
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:31.599
<v Speaker 5>So they're on a three game winnings chicken.

75
00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:31.800
<v Speaker 4>Now.

76
00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:35.599
<v Speaker 5>The Kansas a couple weeks ago, Cincinnati last Wednesday, and

77
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:39.199
<v Speaker 5>obviously West Virginia on Saturday are fourteen and eight right

78
00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:40.560
<v Speaker 5>now with their next game this.

79
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:46.639
<v Speaker 4>Friday at Utah. Okay, that's good. Do some basketball.

80
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:50.840
<v Speaker 5>Potential recruit for the Wildcats men's team, A five star

81
00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:54.080
<v Speaker 5>Elijah Arena, son of Gilbert Arenas, has never done his

82
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:58.960
<v Speaker 5>top five schools to the Arizona USC, Kentucky, Louisville, and

83
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:04.240
<v Speaker 5>Kansas do me one war time Arizona, USC, Kentucky, Bouisvo

84
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:05.439
<v Speaker 5>and Kansas.

85
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:08.159
<v Speaker 4>Well. Pretty good group. Yeah, pretty good group.

86
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:11.400
<v Speaker 2>And he's in LA based in the area. Yeah, it's

87
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:15.800
<v Speaker 2>a legacy guy. Could mean a ton for Arizona. Yeah,

88
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:20.120
<v Speaker 2>especially with Ronnie the Rice Rice Rice coming, Brice coming.

89
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:20.839
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

90
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:22.680
<v Speaker 2>I think that's one of the reasons why they got

91
00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:24.720
<v Speaker 2>Rice to help persuade.

92
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:28.439
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. Talk about super teams that might be turned into

93
00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:28.800
<v Speaker 4>one they.

94
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:31.720
<v Speaker 6>Got a handful of players among the McDonald's All American

95
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:32.279
<v Speaker 6>team as well.

96
00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:35.199
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, we'll see.

97
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:38.160
<v Speaker 5>And then of course the big time game tonight in

98
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:41.360
<v Speaker 5>Tucson as the Wildcat stick on number three Iowa State

99
00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:44.720
<v Speaker 5>coming off a win Saturday against Colorado seventy eight to

100
00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:45.279
<v Speaker 5>sixty three.

101
00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:49.199
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, and I always say, I mean they won at

102
00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:50.920
<v Speaker 6>a issue and they kind of scuffled. It was pretty

103
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:53.279
<v Speaker 6>close game. Actually threw most of the most of the contest.

104
00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:54.560
<v Speaker 6>They kind of blew him away in the last it

105
00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:56.839
<v Speaker 6>was ten minutes to three run. I think, yeah, but

106
00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:00.519
<v Speaker 6>they were not totally unbeatable. And you know, let's see

107
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:02.720
<v Speaker 6>how the Michale crowd treats them tonight. It's gonna be something.

108
00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:04.240
<v Speaker 6>I think it's gonna be fun. It'll be part of

109
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:05.639
<v Speaker 6>the storyline.

110
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:08.680
<v Speaker 2>This is to your point, the points both of you

111
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:11.639
<v Speaker 2>guys earlier. We've seen the crowds at the other big

112
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:15.160
<v Speaker 2>twelve schools, right, uh uh, pretty good, some of them,

113
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:17.439
<v Speaker 2>you know, break and all that stuff. But I think

114
00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:20.319
<v Speaker 2>Arizona will show their Big twelve power tonight right with

115
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:20.879
<v Speaker 2>the crowd.

116
00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:23.439
<v Speaker 6>Well, that's that's kind of the story we've been telling,

117
00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:25.040
<v Speaker 6>is like, hey, you know, yeah, it's gonna be fun

118
00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:27.399
<v Speaker 6>to go to Kansas and Iowa State and Houston and

119
00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:29.439
<v Speaker 6>places like that, but those guys got to come here too.

120
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:32.319
<v Speaker 4>Did you go Saturday? Did you go Saturday? No? No.

121
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:34.399
<v Speaker 2>So one of the things that Ted Boyle was not

122
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:36.120
<v Speaker 2>to put him and he talked about the crowd and

123
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:38.199
<v Speaker 2>you know, he went zone and I'm.

124
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:40.439
<v Speaker 4>Thinking, what crowd? Did you see? What credit?

125
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:44.800
<v Speaker 2>Because it wasn't that great of a you know, considering, considering,

126
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:46.480
<v Speaker 2>But he says, I wanted to prepare them for this.

127
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:49.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm thinking, okay, because he was talking about from yesteryear

128
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:51.040
<v Speaker 2>when he was at Colorado and it was that crowd.

129
00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:53.839
<v Speaker 2>Saturday was not that crowd. He's just trying to be

130
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:54.560
<v Speaker 2>nice or something.

131
00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:55.639
<v Speaker 4>I don't know.

132
00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:58.480
<v Speaker 6>He's he's looking for something. He can't win at Michale. Right,

133
00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:01.120
<v Speaker 6>he's went over eight or that too. Yeah, so that's

134
00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:03.279
<v Speaker 6>it's kind of a shame because they've you know, they've

135
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:05.720
<v Speaker 6>had a few, a bunch of players drafted off the team.

136
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:08.000
<v Speaker 2>Last year, they still couldn't beat Off. You remember how

137
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:10.959
<v Speaker 2>close he was to beat in Arizota. Yeah, the one

138
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:13.879
<v Speaker 2>shot the chin kid off the tip of his fingers.

139
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:16.360
<v Speaker 2>Had to look at the replay for half an hour.

140
00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:21.160
<v Speaker 2>You remember that. That's like a decade or still in TV.

141
00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:23.920
<v Speaker 2>Really we were tape.

142
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:25.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

143
00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:29.480
<v Speaker 5>So this weekend Vanderbilt got an upset win against number

144
00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:32.279
<v Speaker 5>nine Kentucky their fans from the field or from the court,

145
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:35.319
<v Speaker 5>and then they were find a five hundred thousand What.

146
00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:38.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, five hundred thousand. I think that's the bottom line rule.

147
00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:44.759
<v Speaker 2>That's because was it Sean Sean started this myths?

148
00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:49.879
<v Speaker 6>Was it last year where the duke player got hurt? Yeah?

149
00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:53.399
<v Speaker 6>They showed the replay during the duke game, so yeah,

150
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:55.519
<v Speaker 6>I mean he was like and then John Shire came out.

151
00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:57.439
<v Speaker 6>I thought it was gonna kill somebody. He was really mad.

152
00:06:58.120 --> 00:06:59.800
<v Speaker 6>So they've been they kind.

<v Speaker 2>It could be a number, It could be a lot

174
00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:53.720
<v Speaker 2>of people for a one hundred and twenty five whatever

175
00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:53.920

177
00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:59.959
<v Speaker 6>from New Mexico, Yeah, Pavas or something. Yeah, I think

178
00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:01.680
<v Speaker 6>he went to make pava.

179
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:02.079
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

180
00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:04.279
<v Speaker 6>He got a nice little cash deal to come there.

181
00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:04.680
<v Speaker 4>I'm sure.

182
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:08.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, but I'm talking they have money's a great school.

183
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:12.639
<v Speaker 4>Well they've never win. Now they're winning, but they got alums. Yeah.

184
00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:15.199
<v Speaker 4>It become doctors right right right?

185
00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:18.920
<v Speaker 5>And new uh eight people came out today. Auburn stay

186
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:21.279
<v Speaker 5>at number one. Uh So, as long as I was

187
00:08:21.319 --> 00:08:24.560
<v Speaker 5>stayed with number three Houston, we went to six one

188
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:26.680
<v Speaker 5>spot six, number two.

189
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:30.560
<v Speaker 2>Okay, that makes sense. One, two, three, Who's give me

190
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:31.439
<v Speaker 2>the top six?

191
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:35.440
<v Speaker 5>Top six, Yeah, Auburn, Duke, Iowa State, Alabama, Florida.

192
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:38.919
<v Speaker 4>And then rounding out is Houston is uhly in that mix?

193
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:39.960
<v Speaker 4>No no, no.

194
00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:43.000
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no no, not in the mix of give

195
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:44.279
<v Speaker 2>me not to know what you mean, give me the

196
00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:44.679
<v Speaker 2>top ten.

197
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:49.799
<v Speaker 5>Following Houston will be Michigan State, Tennessee, Marquette, and Perdue.

198
00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:51.039
<v Speaker 4>Okay, will the championship?

199
00:08:51.080 --> 00:08:54.000
<v Speaker 2>Will the champion team come out of that that ten?

200
00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:58.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? I feel like it hasn't given recent years. Do

201
00:08:58.159 --> 00:08:58.480
<v Speaker 4>you think?

202
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:01.720
<v Speaker 6>I mean pretty good real, pretty good chance they're gonna

203
00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:02.720
<v Speaker 6>be one seeds and stuff.

204
00:09:02.759 --> 00:09:06.960
<v Speaker 4>So you one seed possibly back to my question, Arizona

205
00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:07.440
<v Speaker 4>in that group?

206
00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:10.480
<v Speaker 2>No, no, okay, if you gave me the next ten,

207
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:12.200
<v Speaker 2>Arizona's not.

208
00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:14.799
<v Speaker 4>In that group, not today, maybe in March.

209
00:09:14.960 --> 00:09:18.039
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So you understand what I'm asking. It's gonna take

210
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:19.799
<v Speaker 2>it a little while, right, Yeah, it's gonna take.

211
00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:20.200
<v Speaker 4>A little while.

212
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:23.159
<v Speaker 6>I mean seriously, I mean to be seriously considered. Now,

213
00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:25.080
<v Speaker 6>you've got to be, you know, in the top twenty.

214
00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:29.519
<v Speaker 6>Basically you gotta be a top two seed. Yeah, which

215
00:09:29.559 --> 00:09:32.360
<v Speaker 6>is really just eight, but still.

216
00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:35.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, and Caleb does to show up, Yeah,

217
00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:36.639
<v Speaker 2>I mean I think you're I think you're.

218
00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:39.159
<v Speaker 4>In that group if Caleb plays well all the time.

219
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:42.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, does that make sense because you have one

220
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:44.159
<v Speaker 5>set that much of an impact on me and there

221
00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:46.559
<v Speaker 5>one is, well you don't you kind of do need him.

222
00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:48.000
<v Speaker 4>You know you've seen it.

223
00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:50.720
<v Speaker 6>You gotta wonder how like the Doorsos are going to

224
00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:54.120
<v Speaker 6>do in a big, high pressure game. It's not Campbell anymore,

225
00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:57.879
<v Speaker 6>you know, it's Arizona, and they're gonna be the expectations.

226
00:09:57.919 --> 00:09:59.200
<v Speaker 4>Expectations are much higher.

227
00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:01.879
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's Saturday Saturday to me, and my story, my

228
00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:05.240
<v Speaker 2>story specifically was, uh, they had doors who played out

229
00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:08.120
<v Speaker 2>of his mind, Waka had fifteen rebounds, did really well,

230
00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:11.360
<v Speaker 2>and Towson played another pretty good game in a couple

231
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:11.720
<v Speaker 2>of games.

232
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:12.960
<v Speaker 4>Now, if those.

233
00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:16.159
<v Speaker 2>Three guys show up and play like that, I hate

234
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:17.720
<v Speaker 2>the word if, but if you know, if I hit

235
00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:19.559
<v Speaker 2>the lottery number, I'm not coming back to the show.

236
00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:23.240
<v Speaker 2>But if those three dudes play really well and they

237
00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:26.759
<v Speaker 2>get some sprinkling of those other guys, the three horsemen

238
00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:30.519
<v Speaker 2>on the briilter, right, this team can play. The thing

239
00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:33.600
<v Speaker 2>is that's asking a hell of a lot yeah, but

240
00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:35.679
<v Speaker 2>that's the team that could win it. I could show

241
00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:36.080
<v Speaker 2>in March.

242
00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:39.320
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, they can do some get some momentum here in

243
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:42.039
<v Speaker 6>the next two months. Basically they still have time to go.

244
00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:45.440
<v Speaker 2>He's going to two bucks into the momentum.

245
00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:48.039
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, is that your jar here?

246
00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:50.840
<v Speaker 2>That's gonna be the I don't believe in the word momentum.

247
00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:54.679
<v Speaker 2>But it's fine. You're you're still learning to have to

248
00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:58.000
<v Speaker 2>have a couple of words. But I might get bleeped.

249
00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:02.879
<v Speaker 5>We already, like we said, number Houston moved up to

250
00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:07.360
<v Speaker 5>number six after their double overtime win at Kansas ninety two.

251
00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:08.799
<v Speaker 4>To eighty six. So what did you what did you

252
00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:12.399
<v Speaker 4>make of that game? Did you watch the game? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,

253
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:17.240
<v Speaker 4>completely great. Crowd can back and forth a little bit.

254
00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:18.720
<v Speaker 5>You know, one team would get out to lead and

255
00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:20.279
<v Speaker 5>then going to run, the other team would build that

256
00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:23.879
<v Speaker 5>lead back up. I think it just goes to show,

257
00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:27.639
<v Speaker 5>you know, the almost all big TF teams will not

258
00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:31.080
<v Speaker 5>give up. They're not they're down twenty I mean you know, yeah,

259
00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:33.600
<v Speaker 5>Arizona a year ago, they're down twenty to an Oregon

260
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:36.279
<v Speaker 5>State or even in Oregon, that game is over, Yeah,

261
00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:39.480
<v Speaker 5>twenty down to Kansas. No, we're just we have them

262
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:41.679
<v Speaker 5>right where we want them. That's that's the mindset of

263
00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:43.519
<v Speaker 5>all all Big Talf teams. Dave, did you see it?

264
00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:46.159
<v Speaker 5>Did you see that game the Houston.

265
00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:49.080
<v Speaker 2>You know a little bit, not enough to really talk

266
00:11:49.080 --> 00:11:51.440
<v Speaker 2>about it. So I watched it because I want to

267
00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:53.000
<v Speaker 2>see Kelvin level. I'm trying to get him on the

268
00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:55.600
<v Speaker 2>show in the next a couple of weeks. Uh, Houston

269
00:11:55.639 --> 00:11:59.240
<v Speaker 2>should have never won that game. Yeah, did you watch regulation?

270
00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:01.679
<v Speaker 2>You're thinking they're dead, they're dead, they're dead, and then

271
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:06.399
<v Speaker 2>they tied it miraculously. Okay, overtime, they're dead. They're dead,

272
00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:09.360
<v Speaker 2>they're dead, and they got into overtime miracules.

273
00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:10.240
<v Speaker 4>Thirteen seconds and down six.

274
00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:12.159
<v Speaker 5>That game is over any other game, and it went

275
00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:13.840
<v Speaker 5>to two over two overtimes, right.

276
00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:17.399
<v Speaker 2>He should have lost it in regulation, should have lost

277
00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:19.600
<v Speaker 2>in overtime, and then he ran away with it over

278
00:12:19.679 --> 00:12:22.080
<v Speaker 2>in double overtime. Yeah, that was that was what I

279
00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:25.840
<v Speaker 2>was thinking for you, because he should have never won it.

280
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:31.080
<v Speaker 5>No, there, Kansas looks good until the final thirteen seconds.

281
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:33.879
<v Speaker 2>And Houston, but they were they were sticking around and

282
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:35.120
<v Speaker 2>sticking around.

283
00:12:34.799 --> 00:12:37.840
<v Speaker 5>And it was But that's all Big twelve, that's all

284
00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:38.519

<v Speaker 2>like mister Pardy. Yeah yeah, no, Norm.

416
00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:39.880
<v Speaker 4>Hasn't anybody said that you guys look a lot like

417
00:18:39.880 --> 00:18:42.200
<v Speaker 4>the same kind of hair. Oh right, Carol Pete Carroll.

418
00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:45.319
<v Speaker 8>People have said that, I hate to say that I'm

419
00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:48.200
<v Speaker 8>considerably older, so he's he's still a young man. I'm

420
00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:49.000
<v Speaker 8>a little bit older.

421
00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:50.599
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but you're still going.

422
00:18:50.640 --> 00:18:52.079
<v Speaker 2>One of the reasons I want to speak to you

423
00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:54.599
<v Speaker 2>because you're you're you're still active as all hell coaching

424
00:18:54.599 --> 00:18:58.160
<v Speaker 2>the Pima women's team. Uh, you're you're out there. You

425
00:18:58.240 --> 00:19:00.000
<v Speaker 2>must continue to love what you're doing.

426
00:19:01.720 --> 00:19:04.279
<v Speaker 8>Steve and Dave, I absolutely love it, and it's really

427
00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:10.400
<v Speaker 8>been interesting the dynamics of coaching women athletes. And I

428
00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:12.599
<v Speaker 8>did it down with Vicky Mays and the tennis team

429
00:19:12.839 --> 00:19:16.440
<v Speaker 8>at the U for four years and now I've been

430
00:19:16.440 --> 00:19:20.000
<v Speaker 8>out with Todd for eleven. I really enjoyed coaching the girls.

431
00:19:20.079 --> 00:19:23.279
<v Speaker 8>And it's not that they're better or worse than the men,

432
00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:26.200
<v Speaker 8>but it's a group of young ladies that we've had

433
00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:29.079
<v Speaker 8>at PEMA for eleven years that want to learn. We've

434
00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:32.559
<v Speaker 8>been good. We compete every year to go to national,

435
00:19:32.680 --> 00:19:35.759
<v Speaker 8>so that's really been fun. And you guys, when you

436
00:19:35.839 --> 00:19:38.640
<v Speaker 8>both get totally retired, you know you're going to find

437
00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:40.480
<v Speaker 8>that you want to be busy and do something that

438
00:19:40.559 --> 00:19:43.440
<v Speaker 8>you like. And that's exactly what this is. With the

439
00:19:43.640 --> 00:19:45.759
<v Speaker 8>team out here and working with Todd's and our other

440
00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:48.319
<v Speaker 8>staff members, it's really been rewarding. Guys.

441
00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:52.960
<v Speaker 2>Do you think the level the level of play plays

442
00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:55.119
<v Speaker 2>a factor in that where you know it's at the

443
00:19:55.240 --> 00:19:58.000
<v Speaker 2>JC where the Division one is a little bit different.

444
00:19:59.559 --> 00:20:03.519
<v Speaker 8>Well, I mean yeah, and you guys haven't necessarily been.

445
00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:06.039
<v Speaker 8>We coach them just like the Division one team. I mean,

446
00:20:06.079 --> 00:20:09.000
<v Speaker 8>we're on them to do things right. The drills and stuff,

447
00:20:09.400 --> 00:20:12.359
<v Speaker 8>you guys were the practices down to Arizona when I

448
00:20:12.440 --> 00:20:14.319
<v Speaker 8>was there with Luke, and a lot of the stuff

449
00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:16.000
<v Speaker 8>we do out here is just the same thing we

450
00:20:16.119 --> 00:20:19.000
<v Speaker 8>do with our girls. Ball handling, you got to do it,

451
00:20:19.039 --> 00:20:21.319
<v Speaker 8>a lot of shooting, you got to do it. So

452
00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:24.680
<v Speaker 8>it's really conducted like a Division one program. And when

453
00:20:24.680 --> 00:20:27.839
<v Speaker 8>we get on the floor, there's an older coach that

454
00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:30.920
<v Speaker 8>tries to be a little bit humorous, but everybody else

455
00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:33.880
<v Speaker 8>is pretty serious and actually pay a little bit of

456
00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:35.920
<v Speaker 8>money for the girls to laugh every once in a while.

457
00:20:35.960 --> 00:20:38.160
<v Speaker 8>But on the other hand, you know, we make it fun,

458
00:20:38.200 --> 00:20:40.400
<v Speaker 8>but it's also demanding and we get better and I

459
00:20:40.400 --> 00:20:43.440
<v Speaker 8>think the record you know for Todd's going to the

460
00:20:43.519 --> 00:20:46.720
<v Speaker 8>national tournament and then my last eleven years is pretty good,

461
00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:49.440
<v Speaker 8>well over fifty percent, So it's really worked out.

462
00:20:49.480 --> 00:20:49.680
<v Speaker 16>Well.

463
00:20:50.319 --> 00:20:52.920
<v Speaker 6>Why do you think the quality of play has improved

464
00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:55.359
<v Speaker 6>so much? Really, it seemed maybe I'm missing it, but

465
00:20:55.400 --> 00:20:57.680
<v Speaker 6>it seems like it's just really gotten a lot better,

466
00:20:57.720 --> 00:20:59.200
<v Speaker 6>say in the last ten years or so.

467
00:20:59.480 --> 00:21:01.599
<v Speaker 4>Where's that come from?

468
00:21:01.920 --> 00:21:05.160
<v Speaker 8>Well, I mean, I think the truth be known. And

469
00:21:05.200 --> 00:21:07.480
<v Speaker 8>you know, for quite some quite a number of years now,

470
00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:10.880
<v Speaker 8>they've had these travel teams and they're going around the

471
00:21:10.920 --> 00:21:13.519
<v Speaker 8>country and playing in their state and all this kind

472
00:21:13.519 --> 00:21:15.680
<v Speaker 8>of stuff, and it was kind of a matter of

473
00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:18.880
<v Speaker 8>the coach of the travel team throwing the ball out there.

474
00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:21.799
<v Speaker 8>And there may not necessarily have been a lot of teaching,

475
00:21:21.880 --> 00:21:24.440
<v Speaker 8>not in every program in the summer, but a lot

476
00:21:24.480 --> 00:21:26.279
<v Speaker 8>of them. It was just get to the whole and

477
00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:28.960
<v Speaker 8>you know, you guys have seen or heard about that

478
00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:32.200
<v Speaker 8>kind of stuff. It's not very good basketball. But lately

479
00:21:32.240 --> 00:21:34.359
<v Speaker 8>I think people have been taking it more serious. And

480
00:21:34.400 --> 00:21:37.079
<v Speaker 8>I do know that you're in Tucson and in Phoenix,

481
00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:39.680
<v Speaker 8>where we recruit quite a bit, coaches are doing a

482
00:21:39.680 --> 00:21:42.240
<v Speaker 8>good job in the summer and they're teaching, and they're demanding,

483
00:21:42.680 --> 00:21:46.200
<v Speaker 8>and they're teaching fundamentals and I mean in any sport,

484
00:21:47.400 --> 00:21:49.319
<v Speaker 8>a lot of it is the fundamentals, and I think

485
00:21:49.359 --> 00:21:52.119
<v Speaker 8>these guys are doing it or ladies doing it in

486
00:21:52.160 --> 00:21:54.240
<v Speaker 8>the summer with their teams, and I think it's made

487
00:21:54.279 --> 00:21:57.599
<v Speaker 8>for really good people coming in. And this year, for example,

488
00:21:57.599 --> 00:22:00.400
<v Speaker 8>I think we have six or seven new young ladies

489
00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:03.160
<v Speaker 8>in the program and they came in sound. They needed

490
00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:05.160
<v Speaker 8>to learn our system and learn what we were doing,

491
00:22:05.160 --> 00:22:07.680
<v Speaker 8>and we demanded some other things and they knew, but

492
00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:10.200
<v Speaker 8>they were more ready and they were more disciplined than

493
00:22:10.200 --> 00:22:12.720
<v Speaker 8>they'd had had good coaching in the summer. And the

494
00:22:12.759 --> 00:22:15.400
<v Speaker 8>truth is, you guys know this too. They start playing

495
00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:17.880
<v Speaker 8>on these travel teams in fifteen sixth grade, for crying

496
00:22:17.880 --> 00:22:20.000
<v Speaker 8>out loud, so you know they've been out there a

497
00:22:20.079 --> 00:22:22.160
<v Speaker 8>lot of years, and if they're fortunate to have a

498
00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:24.440
<v Speaker 8>good coach, they come in pretty darn sound.

499
00:22:24.920 --> 00:22:27.519
<v Speaker 2>Before we get to the people think, do you think

500
00:22:27.559 --> 00:22:31.079
<v Speaker 2>there's going to be a Kayton Clark factor where everyone

501
00:22:31.160 --> 00:22:32.839
<v Speaker 2>wants to be Cayton Clark.

502
00:22:34.279 --> 00:22:36.799
<v Speaker 8>We have three of them on our team now. Steep Wow,

503
00:22:39.720 --> 00:22:43.240
<v Speaker 8>I don't know. You look at the story of her.

504
00:22:43.720 --> 00:22:48.079
<v Speaker 8>It's absolutely amazing. Wes Morn I know her high school,

505
00:22:48.119 --> 00:22:49.839
<v Speaker 8>but I can't come out Dowling High School. I think

506
00:22:49.839 --> 00:22:52.319
<v Speaker 8>she went to Dowling High School and Western Moy in

507
00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:54.559
<v Speaker 8>iowand of all the things, now, ah, it was a

508
00:22:54.559 --> 00:22:58.039
<v Speaker 8>perfect storm. The brothers were a little bit older. I

509
00:22:58.079 --> 00:23:01.119
<v Speaker 8>think they played in the backyard. Father was there. They

510
00:23:01.119 --> 00:23:03.920
<v Speaker 8>were demanding, they were tough. And then she got to

511
00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:08.680
<v Speaker 8>Iowa and it is my alma mater, so I understand

512
00:23:08.680 --> 00:23:11.440
<v Speaker 8>that one I said I'll go Hawks. But she ran

513
00:23:11.480 --> 00:23:14.960
<v Speaker 8>into really, really a good coach there. Alisa Bluter ran

514
00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:18.200
<v Speaker 8>a great, great program, gave her the freedom she needed,

515
00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:21.720
<v Speaker 8>understood exactly how to treat her. And I'm sure the

516
00:23:21.759 --> 00:23:25.039
<v Speaker 8>last couple of years were tough because of all the attention.

517
00:23:25.160 --> 00:23:27.200
<v Speaker 8>And you got the other girls on the team that

518
00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:30.920
<v Speaker 8>are saying, you know all, but they all melded together.

519
00:23:31.039 --> 00:23:33.359
<v Speaker 8>It's it's really hard to say that there's going to

520
00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:36.759
<v Speaker 8>be another, you know. On the men's side, there was

521
00:23:36.799 --> 00:23:40.640
<v Speaker 8>a Lebron James, and maybe because the social media wasn't

522
00:23:40.640 --> 00:23:43.599
<v Speaker 8>as prominent when Lebron was in high school, nobody knew

523
00:23:43.599 --> 00:23:46.079
<v Speaker 8>about him quite as much. But Caitlin Clark, you know,

524
00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:48.680
<v Speaker 8>she got to Iowan. It was just it's an amazing thing.

525
00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:51.519
<v Speaker 8>And she's probably one of the most well known people

526
00:23:51.519 --> 00:23:54.960
<v Speaker 8>in the country. So if there's going to be another one,

527
00:23:55.039 --> 00:23:56.720
<v Speaker 8>I'd be a little bit doubtful on.

528
00:23:56.640 --> 00:24:02.279
<v Speaker 6>That lot of young she was on TV and did

529
00:24:02.279 --> 00:24:04.480
<v Speaker 6>a lot of women see that, And you know, maybe

530
00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:07.200
<v Speaker 6>I won't play volleyball, maybe I'll go to basketballball.

531
00:24:08.200 --> 00:24:11.200
<v Speaker 8>And she's a lot of big coverage on a lot

532
00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:13.400
<v Speaker 8>of big coverage on our games. I told I told Josh,

533
00:24:13.440 --> 00:24:15.880
<v Speaker 8>now we got a big one on Wednesday. Told Josh,

534
00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:17.599
<v Speaker 8>you had a Charger playing because he's got a lot

535
00:24:17.640 --> 00:24:20.000
<v Speaker 8>of extra money, and why in and see us playing

536
00:24:20.119 --> 00:24:23.839
<v Speaker 8>Mason on Wednesday. So in any event, yeah.

537
00:24:24.440 --> 00:24:26.799
<v Speaker 2>You guys are rolling. I mean every years is a

538
00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:29.480
<v Speaker 2>nice little run here. It's what seventeen to three or

539
00:24:29.559 --> 00:24:30.599
<v Speaker 2>eight game winning streak?

540
00:24:31.079 --> 00:24:34.799
<v Speaker 8>What's going on seventeen and three? Wow, we've got a good,

541
00:24:35.039 --> 00:24:39.119
<v Speaker 8>good team. The other thing, and I don't know how

542
00:24:39.200 --> 00:24:42.480
<v Speaker 8>much you're aware, but the Division I schools did not

543
00:24:42.599 --> 00:24:45.640
<v Speaker 8>want to play us a Division twoes anymore. They didn't

544
00:24:45.640 --> 00:24:48.799
<v Speaker 8>think it helped their standing getting into the national tournament

545
00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:51.440
<v Speaker 8>where they were seated and all this. So we play

546
00:24:51.839 --> 00:24:53.559
<v Speaker 8>all the teams in our part of the league, the

547
00:24:53.599 --> 00:24:57.279
<v Speaker 8>Division twos, We play them three times, and you guys

548
00:24:57.279 --> 00:24:59.680
<v Speaker 8>would also know that's that's kind of kind of a

549
00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:02.440
<v Speaker 8>cru U Santa season. You play them home and away,

550
00:25:02.680 --> 00:25:06.000
<v Speaker 8>and that's what we used to do play Eastern Western Central,

551
00:25:06.039 --> 00:25:08.440
<v Speaker 8>play them home and away, and it was actually pretty

552
00:25:08.480 --> 00:25:10.880
<v Speaker 8>good basketball, and we didn't have to sit out here

553
00:25:10.920 --> 00:25:13.400
<v Speaker 8>and say, well, they're just way, way better. We beat

554
00:25:13.400 --> 00:25:15.839
<v Speaker 8>them our share of the time. So it's a little

555
00:25:15.880 --> 00:25:18.880
<v Speaker 8>bit different now, and maybe that's a little misleading than

556
00:25:19.359 --> 00:25:22.160
<v Speaker 8>seventeen and three. But on the other hand, you beat

557
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:23.759
<v Speaker 8>the people that are in front of you, and we

558
00:25:23.799 --> 00:25:26.640
<v Speaker 8>have never disrespected the game. We've gotten out every single

559
00:25:26.680 --> 00:25:29.920
<v Speaker 8>time and gone hard and done our stuff and so on.

560
00:25:30.039 --> 00:25:32.160
<v Speaker 8>So we can only do what's in front of us,

561
00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:35.039
<v Speaker 8>and we've so far taken care of that pretty well

562
00:25:35.039 --> 00:25:37.640
<v Speaker 8>with a big game on with Masa on Wednesday.

563
00:25:39.440 --> 00:25:42.279
<v Speaker 6>How about local talent does this roster have? Is there

564
00:25:42.279 --> 00:25:44.880
<v Speaker 6>a lot of two song girls playing that are able to.

565
00:25:44.799 --> 00:25:45.079
<v Speaker 7>Get to the.

566
00:25:47.039 --> 00:25:49.440
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, Dave, I'm just kind of looking at her roster here.

567
00:25:49.480 --> 00:25:52.160
<v Speaker 8>I think we have, well, I think we have four

568
00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:56.160
<v Speaker 8>or five girls that are from Tucson, and maybe not

569
00:25:56.240 --> 00:25:58.680
<v Speaker 8>all starters, but they're good players and they're all contributing

570
00:25:59.039 --> 00:26:01.319
<v Speaker 8>and the brand of ball is a lot better. We

571
00:26:01.400 --> 00:26:04.440
<v Speaker 8>ran into a girl. I went over to Flowing Wells

572
00:26:04.480 --> 00:26:07.079
<v Speaker 8>High School for a Christmas tournament and ran into a

573
00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:09.960
<v Speaker 8>young lady from Douglas that I really really really like.

574
00:26:10.519 --> 00:26:13.920
<v Speaker 8>Unfortunately she tore or meniscus or something in her in

575
00:26:13.960 --> 00:26:15.599
<v Speaker 8>her knee, but we may try to get her up

576
00:26:15.599 --> 00:26:18.759
<v Speaker 8>somehow next year and rehab with us and so on.

577
00:26:19.119 --> 00:26:21.839
<v Speaker 8>But there's there's talent here. I think you just have

578
00:26:21.920 --> 00:26:24.079
<v Speaker 8>to go out and look. But then you also have

579
00:26:24.240 --> 00:26:27.759
<v Speaker 8>to consider. You know, when you get the Nationals, you're

580
00:26:27.759 --> 00:26:30.400
<v Speaker 8>playing teams from all over the country, and they're big

581
00:26:30.440 --> 00:26:32.279
<v Speaker 8>and they're strong and so on, so we kind of

582
00:26:32.279 --> 00:26:35.640
<v Speaker 8>have to tailor what we bring in to our hopes

583
00:26:35.640 --> 00:26:39.559
<v Speaker 8>of doing well at the national tournament. But there are

584
00:26:39.559 --> 00:26:42.880
<v Speaker 8>some girls who can play here. You just have to

585
00:26:42.880 --> 00:26:44.839
<v Speaker 8>go out and find them. I think Sunnyside has a

586
00:26:44.839 --> 00:26:48.960
<v Speaker 8>good team this year, several several good players around. Bubble

587
00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:51.119
<v Speaker 8>has a couple of good players. So yeah, there are

588
00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:54.400
<v Speaker 8>some locally that with improvement, can sure help us.

589
00:26:55.039 --> 00:26:57.160
<v Speaker 2>So let me ask you, because I'm naive to this question,

590
00:26:57.200 --> 00:27:00.920
<v Speaker 2>I guess Jim is there's two national ties are two leagues,

591
00:27:01.160 --> 00:27:02.599
<v Speaker 2>Division one and Division two.

592
00:27:02.640 --> 00:27:05.039
<v Speaker 4>They're not just well US really.

593
00:27:04.839 --> 00:27:09.400
<v Speaker 8>Okay for US. Well, Also there's NCAA Division one, Division two,

594
00:27:09.559 --> 00:27:13.400
<v Speaker 8>Division three, and AI and then there's the community college level,

595
00:27:13.720 --> 00:27:17.200
<v Speaker 8>and there's a Division one where they can give full scholarships.

596
00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:19.279
<v Speaker 8>And that's why you go out the Eastern and you

597
00:27:19.839 --> 00:27:23.599
<v Speaker 8>see only FOURIGN kids. I mean, we've seen some six seven,

598
00:27:23.720 --> 00:27:26.599
<v Speaker 8>six eight kids that are coming from other parts of

599
00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:29.960
<v Speaker 8>the world and they're on these Division one teams because

600
00:27:29.960 --> 00:27:32.960
<v Speaker 8>they have full scholarships and we can only give room

601
00:27:32.960 --> 00:27:36.759
<v Speaker 8>and board, and we just get we aren't full scholarship.

602
00:27:36.759 --> 00:27:38.839
<v Speaker 8>I guess we give books and so on, but we

603
00:27:38.920 --> 00:27:41.640
<v Speaker 8>are not a full scholarship league. So we have our

604
00:27:41.680 --> 00:27:45.200
<v Speaker 8>own national tournament where last year, if I might brag,

605
00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:48.559
<v Speaker 8>we were US and MASA. We're the only teams to

606
00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:52.079
<v Speaker 8>win four games at the national tournament. And Steve, I

607
00:27:52.079 --> 00:27:54.279
<v Speaker 8>don't know if you ever had Riley waugh On last year,

608
00:27:54.279 --> 00:27:56.839
<v Speaker 8>who was our best player in the guard last year,

609
00:27:56.880 --> 00:27:59.599
<v Speaker 8>finished up her career with forty three points at the

610
00:27:59.640 --> 00:28:02.599
<v Speaker 8>national tournament in a huge win. I'm saying forty three

611
00:28:02.680 --> 00:28:06.720
<v Speaker 8>that's kolid, like you know. So, but there's two two

612
00:28:06.759 --> 00:28:09.799
<v Speaker 8>tournaments and we've been very fortunate to go to the

613
00:28:09.880 --> 00:28:12.079
<v Speaker 8>Division two tournament quite a few times.

614
00:28:13.160 --> 00:28:15.519
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to bring on too. You used to be

615
00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:19.880
<v Speaker 2>a head coach back in the day. Are you kind

616
00:28:19.880 --> 00:28:23.119
<v Speaker 2>of glad that you don't coach now? Given the nil

617
00:28:23.160 --> 00:28:25.720
<v Speaker 2>and all the stuff that goes on and.

618
00:28:25.960 --> 00:28:30.000
<v Speaker 8>The Division One, I couldn't I couldn't be happier. And

619
00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:33.279
<v Speaker 8>both of you guys know, if loud Olsen was here

620
00:28:33.359 --> 00:28:36.640
<v Speaker 8>going through this stuff, Mike Montgomery going through this stuff,

621
00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:40.319
<v Speaker 8>named some of the others, Lorenzo Romart going through this stuff,

622
00:28:40.319 --> 00:28:43.640
<v Speaker 8>and maybe he still is, it's horrible. And you know this,

623
00:28:43.720 --> 00:28:46.680
<v Speaker 8>they would not stand for it. And you see what's

624
00:28:46.720 --> 00:28:50.440
<v Speaker 8>his name right from Villanova? Bennett from Virginia, And these

625
00:28:50.440 --> 00:28:53.720
<v Speaker 8>guys are saying enough enough. What was the big talk

626
00:28:53.759 --> 00:28:57.400
<v Speaker 8>about Ohio State and football twenty million dollar team? And

627
00:28:57.720 --> 00:28:59.759
<v Speaker 8>I don't know if that's true or not, but there

628
00:28:59.799 --> 00:29:03.559
<v Speaker 8>is money involved, and it's it's just it's really to me,

629
00:29:04.559 --> 00:29:06.160
<v Speaker 8>ruined the game. And I think you talked to a

630
00:29:06.160 --> 00:29:08.359
<v Speaker 8>lot of people, and maybe they won't stay so publicly,

631
00:29:08.440 --> 00:29:11.240
<v Speaker 8>but I think a lot of head coaches were absolutely

632
00:29:11.279 --> 00:29:13.680
<v Speaker 8>sick about it. And the truth is, you guys know,

633
00:29:14.440 --> 00:29:18.319
<v Speaker 8>recruiting was hard enough, right, I mean recruiting was tough.

634
00:29:18.359 --> 00:29:19.640
<v Speaker 8>You had to get to know the family, if you

635
00:29:19.680 --> 00:29:22.000
<v Speaker 8>know the kids, they had hangers on and everything. So

636
00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:24.680
<v Speaker 8>recruiting was hard nothing. Now it's worse. It's terrible.

637
00:29:24.920 --> 00:29:26.640
<v Speaker 6>It's amazing just to be able to keep your team.

638
00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:28.920
<v Speaker 6>You almost have to re recruit every year. It seems

639
00:29:28.960 --> 00:29:31.079
<v Speaker 6>like I have the transfers won farefoot Bortle is open

640
00:29:31.119 --> 00:29:33.599
<v Speaker 6>on site, leave you stay.

641
00:29:34.759 --> 00:29:36.720
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, you go over and talk to our coaches here

642
00:29:36.799 --> 00:29:39.759
<v Speaker 8>now at all levels. Yeah, you season's over. You've got

643
00:29:39.759 --> 00:29:42.519
<v Speaker 8>to rerecruit because you have to get players in if

644
00:29:42.559 --> 00:29:45.000
<v Speaker 8>you're going to be competitive. And now you got to

645
00:29:45.039 --> 00:29:47.119
<v Speaker 8>re recruit them. It's it's not a very good team.

646
00:29:47.400 --> 00:29:49.079
<v Speaker 2>So I was going to ask you, there's no one

647
00:29:49.160 --> 00:29:51.640
<v Speaker 2>that knows better than you, having spent a lot of

648
00:29:51.640 --> 00:29:54.200
<v Speaker 2>time with him, and he I know this. Du he

649
00:29:54.240 --> 00:29:56.000
<v Speaker 2>would have not he said, you know, hell, I'm out

650
00:29:56.039 --> 00:29:57.039
<v Speaker 2>of this. I don't need discrun.

651
00:29:58.240 --> 00:30:02.240
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I think absolutely no quest And again, recruiting was

652
00:30:02.279 --> 00:30:04.359
<v Speaker 8>hard enough. I mean we got lucky on some kids.

653
00:30:04.359 --> 00:30:06.880
<v Speaker 8>You get a Michael Wright in, Sean Ellett was here

654
00:30:06.920 --> 00:30:10.160
<v Speaker 8>in the backyard, and those were not all easy. Now,

655
00:30:10.200 --> 00:30:12.839
<v Speaker 8>maybe Sean was, but some of these other getting quit

656
00:30:12.960 --> 00:30:14.839
<v Speaker 8>reads here. It was you know, it was a tough

657
00:30:14.880 --> 00:30:18.200
<v Speaker 8>recruiting job, and it was it was difficult, and you

658
00:30:18.240 --> 00:30:22.039
<v Speaker 8>were on it every day of the year. But now

659
00:30:22.079 --> 00:30:24.319
<v Speaker 8>they've added all this money and how much you can get.

660
00:30:24.359 --> 00:30:27.160
<v Speaker 8>I mean, the talk around with you guys know, Lumar Ballo,

661
00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:30.079
<v Speaker 8>who was here last year was Indiana for a huge

662
00:30:30.079 --> 00:30:33.640
<v Speaker 8>amount of money and that's been pretty much published knowledge.

663
00:30:33.680 --> 00:30:37.279
<v Speaker 8>So it's just it's really taken to me a lot

664
00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:38.880
<v Speaker 8>of some of the fun out of the whole thing.

665
00:30:39.119 --> 00:30:41.440
<v Speaker 8>I'm not a huge fan of any of that kind

666
00:30:41.480 --> 00:30:41.920
<v Speaker 8>of stuff.

667
00:30:42.160 --> 00:30:44.359
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, it's funny too, because you know, these programs are

668
00:30:44.440 --> 00:30:45.759
<v Speaker 6>hiring general managers now.

669
00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:47.880
<v Speaker 4>It's who maybe take some of the load off of

670
00:30:47.920 --> 00:30:48.839
<v Speaker 4>the coaches.

671
00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:50.000
<v Speaker 6>That they don't have to go out and run around

672
00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:52.880
<v Speaker 6>the country and that these you know, gms or whatever

673
00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:54.039
<v Speaker 6>are evaluating talent.

674
00:30:54.160 --> 00:30:56.640
<v Speaker 4>I guess, so yeah, they don't love it.

675
00:30:58.160 --> 00:31:01.440
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, you look at the staff now, I mean, they've

676
00:31:01.720 --> 00:31:03.720
<v Speaker 8>got more people that can be on the court and

677
00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:06.799
<v Speaker 8>I don't know about travel, but yeah, they've they've got

678
00:31:06.799 --> 00:31:08.599
<v Speaker 8>to get out and they've got to get the players.

679
00:31:08.640 --> 00:31:11.960
<v Speaker 8>And I don't know what you guys would feel about it,

680
00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:14.039
<v Speaker 8>but I just think it's taken a lot of the

681
00:31:14.160 --> 00:31:16.599
<v Speaker 8>energy and fun out of the whole thing. And who

682
00:31:16.720 --> 00:31:19.839
<v Speaker 8>raises the money? I mean, Kentucky, you know you can

683
00:31:20.279 --> 00:31:25.000
<v Speaker 8>unlimited funds. University of Texas with crystale contact, unlimited funds,

684
00:31:25.839 --> 00:31:28.480
<v Speaker 8>Weber State up there. Well, you know they're not going

685
00:31:28.480 --> 00:31:30.440
<v Speaker 8>to be involved in the big money. It's it's just

686
00:31:30.519 --> 00:31:31.519
<v Speaker 8>it's pretty tough, I.

687
00:31:31.440 --> 00:31:34.440
<v Speaker 2>Think, right right, Well, you know we I had Monica

688
00:31:34.480 --> 00:31:36.400
<v Speaker 2>as a guest here, I don't know, months or so ago,

689
00:31:36.880 --> 00:31:39.119
<v Speaker 2>and he says it's kind of starting to permeate into

690
00:31:39.160 --> 00:31:40.079
<v Speaker 2>the junior colleges.

691
00:31:42.000 --> 00:31:47.000
<v Speaker 8>Well, our budget is ten bucks, you guys know, not

692
00:31:47.160 --> 00:31:56.519
<v Speaker 8>much more than that. Wet Yeah, yeah, yeah it maybe,

693
00:31:56.559 --> 00:31:58.720
<v Speaker 8>I I don't know. I mean again, at the at

694
00:31:58.720 --> 00:32:01.480
<v Speaker 8>the higher level of the community college, those coaches are

695
00:32:01.799 --> 00:32:04.599
<v Speaker 8>looking to move on and they get a good player

696
00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:07.160
<v Speaker 8>and they keep them there. So it may well be

697
00:32:07.440 --> 00:32:10.920
<v Speaker 8>starting to permeate the community colleges. I have not heard

698
00:32:10.960 --> 00:32:14.160
<v Speaker 8>of it, but I wouldn't wouldn't disrespect what he said.

699
00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:17.640
<v Speaker 4>So, yeah, so you you were tenth ranked. Uh you

700
00:32:17.640 --> 00:32:19.200
<v Speaker 4>play MESA and.

701
00:32:19.480 --> 00:32:22.759
<v Speaker 8>You faith they've we moved up. We moved up to

702
00:32:22.839 --> 00:32:23.559
<v Speaker 8>number eight today.

703
00:32:23.680 --> 00:32:26.480
<v Speaker 4>Oh you did okay? Well, breaking news nice time.

704
00:32:27.519 --> 00:32:28.200
<v Speaker 8>Breaking news.

705
00:32:28.240 --> 00:32:29.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, there it is breaking news.

706
00:32:29.759 --> 00:32:33.359
<v Speaker 2>So so you've you've had teams like this before. How

707
00:32:33.559 --> 00:32:35.039
<v Speaker 2>what makes this different or special?

708
00:32:36.880 --> 00:32:38.000
<v Speaker 8>Well, they've really.

709
00:32:39.240 --> 00:32:39.400
<v Speaker 2>Now.

710
00:32:39.400 --> 00:32:41.960
<v Speaker 8>The truth of it is, we've got a good blend

711
00:32:42.000 --> 00:32:44.960
<v Speaker 8>of the guards or the perimeter people. We've gotten a

712
00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:47.440
<v Speaker 8>big girl, uh, the first one that we've really had

713
00:32:47.480 --> 00:32:52.519
<v Speaker 8>about six three and and she's pretty talented. But they've

714
00:32:52.519 --> 00:32:56.519
<v Speaker 8>melded together. Well a lot of times it takes longer.

715
00:32:57.000 --> 00:32:59.359
<v Speaker 8>Our kids are about a month ago really started to

716
00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:02.119
<v Speaker 8>good with each other and move the ball. And you

717
00:33:02.119 --> 00:33:05.160
<v Speaker 8>look at the assists. How many assists for baskets you have?

718
00:33:05.279 --> 00:33:07.160
<v Speaker 8>So we're sharing the ball as we say, make the

719
00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:11.519
<v Speaker 8>ball hum. So it's just really been kind of neat

720
00:33:11.559 --> 00:33:14.119
<v Speaker 8>to see. And that's why you coach, and that's you know,

721
00:33:14.160 --> 00:33:16.559
<v Speaker 8>you want to get your radio program better all the time,

722
00:33:16.599 --> 00:33:18.000
<v Speaker 8>and that's why you do it. You love it. But

723
00:33:18.960 --> 00:33:22.359
<v Speaker 8>we've been fortunate to have unselfish girls, girls that are

724
00:33:22.359 --> 00:33:26.079
<v Speaker 8>willing to play defense, and to this point it's worked

725
00:33:26.119 --> 00:33:27.839
<v Speaker 8>out pretty well. Now we got to think eight or

726
00:33:27.880 --> 00:33:32.519
<v Speaker 8>ten games left before tournament, and again this game on

727
00:33:33.559 --> 00:33:36.240
<v Speaker 8>Wednesday is really a big one for us. They beat

728
00:33:36.319 --> 00:33:38.559
<v Speaker 8>us up there. We need to beat them here and

729
00:33:38.599 --> 00:33:40.160
<v Speaker 8>then we have to play them right at the end

730
00:33:40.160 --> 00:33:42.680
<v Speaker 8>of the season back up there. So what we're fighting

731
00:33:42.720 --> 00:33:45.640
<v Speaker 8>for is the highest seed in our tournament, our local

732
00:33:46.119 --> 00:33:48.920
<v Speaker 8>local tournaments. So still a lot at stake for the

733
00:33:48.960 --> 00:33:49.880
<v Speaker 8>pema Aztecs.

734
00:33:50.599 --> 00:33:52.400
<v Speaker 2>I was going to ask you, so you go into

735
00:33:52.440 --> 00:33:55.160
<v Speaker 2>the game tonight one you can chure against your rival

736
00:33:55.200 --> 00:33:56.920
<v Speaker 2>Iowa State and maybe chure.

737
00:33:56.799 --> 00:33:57.759
<v Speaker 4>As little for Arizona.

738
00:33:57.920 --> 00:34:01.119
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, well, I'm planning to. I've got a guest in

739
00:34:01.200 --> 00:34:04.960
<v Speaker 8>town that has always known him for a lot of years,

740
00:34:05.000 --> 00:34:07.440
<v Speaker 8>really really a good friend, and he's just coming off

741
00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:10.840
<v Speaker 8>knee surgery. So whether he feels he can make the

742
00:34:11.480 --> 00:34:14.440
<v Speaker 8>effort to get to and from the arena and so on,

743
00:34:14.599 --> 00:34:17.280
<v Speaker 8>I don't know, but definitely we'll be watching and I'm

744
00:34:17.400 --> 00:34:20.440
<v Speaker 8>anticipating going. So should be should be a good game.

745
00:34:20.519 --> 00:34:23.880
<v Speaker 8>Everybody likes this Iowa State team, and I think Arizona's

746
00:34:23.920 --> 00:34:27.119
<v Speaker 8>back on track and looks to be playing pretty good basketball,

747
00:34:27.119 --> 00:34:29.480
<v Speaker 8>and the pieces are fitting together, so it should be.

748
00:34:29.519 --> 00:34:31.480
<v Speaker 4>A great game. We talked a little about this at

749
00:34:31.519 --> 00:34:32.599
<v Speaker 4>the beginning of the show.

750
00:34:33.719 --> 00:34:37.480
<v Speaker 2>You guys back in the day played a fantastic schedule,

751
00:34:37.719 --> 00:34:40.719
<v Speaker 2>had the great teams that would come in Arizona. McHale

752
00:34:40.920 --> 00:34:44.280
<v Speaker 2>rocked and I said, if you can afford tickets, you

753
00:34:44.280 --> 00:34:47.400
<v Speaker 2>should get tickets to see the Big twelve. Tonight's one

754
00:34:47.440 --> 00:34:50.719
<v Speaker 2>of those nights. How did you guys prepare for these

755
00:34:50.840 --> 00:34:51.920
<v Speaker 2>huge games?

756
00:34:53.280 --> 00:34:56.960
<v Speaker 8>Well, I mean both of you were there, and really

757
00:34:57.000 --> 00:35:01.000
<v Speaker 8>there was no difference. Now, the kids know if you're

758
00:35:01.039 --> 00:35:04.440
<v Speaker 8>playing Duke. You know, every kid on the team knows,

759
00:35:04.480 --> 00:35:07.400
<v Speaker 8>and they anticipate that that game, and they circled on

760
00:35:07.400 --> 00:35:10.119
<v Speaker 8>the calendar, and the kids, as far as I can tell,

761
00:35:10.239 --> 00:35:12.800
<v Speaker 8>love to play those big games. I mean they get

762
00:35:12.840 --> 00:35:15.679
<v Speaker 8>geared up. They're playing against good people, want to show

763
00:35:15.719 --> 00:35:17.519
<v Speaker 8>them up, want to show people they can play at

764
00:35:17.559 --> 00:35:20.920
<v Speaker 8>that level. So there was never really any problem of

765
00:35:20.920 --> 00:35:23.920
<v Speaker 8>getting the kids geared up and then loot. As you

766
00:35:24.440 --> 00:35:27.559
<v Speaker 8>both the well know. Again, he was a very even

767
00:35:27.639 --> 00:35:30.159
<v Speaker 8>keeled guy. I mean, everybody knew it was a big game.

768
00:35:30.559 --> 00:35:32.800
<v Speaker 8>Scout it, do it well. We're not going to be

769
00:35:32.840 --> 00:35:35.039
<v Speaker 8>too high, we're not going to be too low. Get

770
00:35:35.079 --> 00:35:39.599
<v Speaker 8>out and do our job and so on. So Syracuse

771
00:35:39.719 --> 00:35:42.119
<v Speaker 8>was coming in which they did a lot of these

772
00:35:42.159 --> 00:35:44.800
<v Speaker 8>great teams. The team and everybody knew and one of

773
00:35:44.840 --> 00:35:46.880
<v Speaker 8>the greater games. I'm sure both of you were there

774
00:35:46.920 --> 00:35:50.679
<v Speaker 8>was that Duke game with Laitner and Hurley and all

775
00:35:50.719 --> 00:35:53.360
<v Speaker 8>those guys back in what ninety or ninety one, one

776
00:35:53.360 --> 00:35:55.320
<v Speaker 8>of the great games in the history of Michale. But

777
00:35:55.559 --> 00:35:58.320
<v Speaker 8>everybody knew and everybody showed up and played and it

778
00:35:58.360 --> 00:36:01.199
<v Speaker 8>was just a trific thing. But it was that same thing.

779
00:36:01.280 --> 00:36:04.559
<v Speaker 8>Get prepared, cover the scouting report, get out and do

780
00:36:04.639 --> 00:36:07.760
<v Speaker 8>your job. Nothing much more complex than that.

781
00:36:08.440 --> 00:36:10.239
<v Speaker 6>You know, as an Iowa guy, or maybe you know

782
00:36:10.280 --> 00:36:13.519
<v Speaker 6>even close to Iowa State, what would you tell the

783
00:36:13.599 --> 00:36:16.800
<v Speaker 6>current u of a team about, you know, getting through

784
00:36:16.920 --> 00:36:18.920
<v Speaker 6>the old Big eight, now the Big twelve, some of

785
00:36:18.960 --> 00:36:21.239
<v Speaker 6>the places they're going to have to deal with the Kansas.

786
00:36:20.840 --> 00:36:21.239
<v Speaker 15>Of the world.

787
00:36:22.519 --> 00:36:25.920
<v Speaker 8>Well, I mean it's Big ten. I thought years ago

788
00:36:25.960 --> 00:36:27.760
<v Speaker 8>when we were at Iowa. Now this is you want

789
00:36:27.800 --> 00:36:30.519
<v Speaker 8>to talk about a long time ago. But you were

790
00:36:30.559 --> 00:36:33.400
<v Speaker 8>going in with Bobby Knight at Indiana Gy and Katie

791
00:36:33.400 --> 00:36:37.719
<v Speaker 8>at Purdue Ohio State loaded that that was a huge

792
00:36:37.800 --> 00:36:41.480
<v Speaker 8>league with big time crowds, and now you're finding that

793
00:36:41.599 --> 00:36:45.039
<v Speaker 8>the Pac ten or twelve. I hate to keep saying,

794
00:36:45.039 --> 00:36:47.440
<v Speaker 8>you didn't, as you guys knew, some of those crowds

795
00:36:47.440 --> 00:36:49.599
<v Speaker 8>were not real, real good. They didn't even open up

796
00:36:49.639 --> 00:36:53.280
<v Speaker 8>all the stadium at Washington State, so it wasn't like

797
00:36:53.360 --> 00:36:57.400
<v Speaker 8>you were going and UCLA never filled up totally. Now

798
00:36:57.400 --> 00:37:00.199
<v Speaker 8>we got pretty good crowds going there, but USC we

799
00:37:00.280 --> 00:37:04.480
<v Speaker 8>didn't have big crowds. So now you're going into tough environments.

800
00:37:05.400 --> 00:37:08.920
<v Speaker 8>Every every single crowd is big in this league. And

801
00:37:09.119 --> 00:37:14.000
<v Speaker 8>there's a great crowd here. So it's a tremendous league,

802
00:37:14.159 --> 00:37:18.519
<v Speaker 8>tremendous basketball league. And again I think these guys have

803
00:37:18.639 --> 00:37:21.119
<v Speaker 8>it right, the ship right it here and seemed to

804
00:37:21.119 --> 00:37:23.920
<v Speaker 8>be on the correct track. So you know, we'll see,

805
00:37:24.000 --> 00:37:25.559
<v Speaker 8>we'll see tonight. This will be a great game.

806
00:37:25.719 --> 00:37:26.159
<v Speaker 4>Thanks Jim.

807
00:37:26.239 --> 00:37:27.920
<v Speaker 2>Let me ask you to do one and do me

808
00:37:27.920 --> 00:37:30.360
<v Speaker 2>a favorite. Could you leave us with the advice your

809
00:37:30.400 --> 00:37:32.480
<v Speaker 2>dad gave you many many years ago.

810
00:37:33.920 --> 00:37:36.199
<v Speaker 8>Now, my dad told me years ago when Luke hired me.

811
00:37:36.639 --> 00:37:39.039
<v Speaker 8>I've never really spoken publicly. He hired me for a

812
00:37:39.119 --> 00:37:43.039
<v Speaker 8>thousand bucks a year. How about that one, guys, he said,

813
00:37:43.159 --> 00:37:45.440
<v Speaker 8>work so hard he can't, work so hard he can't

814
00:37:45.440 --> 00:37:48.000
<v Speaker 8>get rid of And that's kind of been my motto

815
00:37:48.360 --> 00:37:50.920
<v Speaker 8>I passed on to my kids. So on works so

816
00:37:51.000 --> 00:37:53.079
<v Speaker 8>hard he can't get ready, And that's what happened. I mean,

817
00:37:53.719 --> 00:37:55.840
<v Speaker 8>we didn't know each other at all, and I was

818
00:37:55.880 --> 00:37:58.320
<v Speaker 8>just kind of came in. Here was a little long

819
00:37:58.440 --> 00:38:01.840
<v Speaker 8>learned bell bottomed pants and all stuff, you know. But

820
00:38:02.159 --> 00:38:04.360
<v Speaker 8>it really worked out well, worked so hard you can't

821
00:38:04.360 --> 00:38:06.000
<v Speaker 8>get rid of That's been the model.

822
00:38:05.760 --> 00:38:08.199
<v Speaker 2>That cares mere model. It's a hat, that's a T

823
00:38:08.320 --> 00:38:11.239
<v Speaker 2>shirt right there, Baby. Thank you Jim as always.

824
00:38:11.039 --> 00:38:13.440
<v Speaker 4>See you toay guys. Yeah, thank you Jim.

825

832
00:38:29.440 --> 00:38:31.880
<v Speaker 2>love through the eyes of twenty five former players, coaches

833
00:38:31.920 --> 00:38:34.400
<v Speaker 2>and friends to give insight to the coach and the

834
00:38:34.440 --> 00:38:37.320
<v Speaker 2>man who led them, competed against them, and inspired them

835
00:38:37.360 --> 00:38:40.159
<v Speaker 2>twenty five chapters for his twenty five years as Arizona's

836
00:38:40.199 --> 00:38:43.199
<v Speaker 2>beloved coach. Lessons from Lut is an insight to how

<v Speaker 12>RBC Wealth Management.

900
00:41:32.519 --> 00:41:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Streamy live on the iHeartRadio, while this is I on

901
00:41:36.079 --> 00:41:40.000
<v Speaker 1>the Ball with Steve Rivera on Fox Sports fourteen fifty.

902
00:41:41.360 --> 00:41:42.760
<v Speaker 2>Hey, welcome back to I on the Ball here on

903
00:41:42.800 --> 00:41:45.159
<v Speaker 2>Fox Sports fourteen fifty oh Steve RIVERTA, you're Dave silver

904
00:41:45.320 --> 00:41:47.079
<v Speaker 2>dot one. Now we've got a call on the phone.

905
00:41:47.159 --> 00:41:52.440
<v Speaker 4>Who's this? Hello, Hello, who's this? It's Rick?

906
00:41:52.639 --> 00:41:53.079
<v Speaker 16>Hey, Steve.

907
00:41:53.159 --> 00:41:56.280
<v Speaker 4>How you doing, Rick? What's going on? Well?

908
00:41:56.400 --> 00:42:00.760
<v Speaker 16>You know, ironically, Hey, David, Hey. I was thinking about

909
00:42:00.840 --> 00:42:05.800
<v Speaker 16>Roz the other day with chatting with Josh Passner or

910
00:42:05.880 --> 00:42:10.239
<v Speaker 16>texting whatever, and I saw a Facebook picture of he

911
00:42:11.320 --> 00:42:15.440
<v Speaker 16>Luke and I think Luke brought his whole staff to

912
00:42:15.480 --> 00:42:19.159
<v Speaker 16>Arizona that first couple of years, and I couldn't I

913
00:42:19.159 --> 00:42:21.400
<v Speaker 16>couldn't remember the names of the other two guys in.

914
00:42:21.360 --> 00:42:27.599
<v Speaker 2>The picture, Scott Thompson and Scott Thompson.

915
00:42:28.480 --> 00:42:30.760
<v Speaker 16>I think it was Scott Thompson one of.

916
00:42:30.800 --> 00:42:32.199
<v Speaker 4>The Scott also played a.

917
00:42:32.840 --> 00:42:38.000
<v Speaker 16>Yeah, yeah, I can't remember the other guy's name. But anyway,

918
00:42:38.519 --> 00:42:40.840
<v Speaker 16>what I was gonna say about Roz, he's probably one

919
00:42:40.840 --> 00:42:47.320
<v Speaker 16>of the most underrated coaches in Arizona Athletics that have

920
00:42:47.400 --> 00:42:50.880
<v Speaker 16>come across the landscape. And there's a lot of good

921
00:42:51.320 --> 00:42:55.800
<v Speaker 16>coaches that have come across, but he was very unassuming,

922
00:42:57.159 --> 00:43:01.280
<v Speaker 16>very down to earth, and always seemed to treat everybody

923
00:43:01.320 --> 00:43:04.199
<v Speaker 16>I noticed. He treated people with respect.

924
00:43:04.599 --> 00:43:07.039
<v Speaker 4>So go ahead.

925
00:43:07.599 --> 00:43:10.360
<v Speaker 16>No, I'm just gonna say he but the fact that

926
00:43:10.440 --> 00:43:12.840
<v Speaker 16>he knew his ex'es and o's and he knew the

927
00:43:12.920 --> 00:43:17.480
<v Speaker 16>sport of basketball, and I think he was way underrated

928
00:43:18.039 --> 00:43:20.199
<v Speaker 16>through his capability.

929
00:43:20.400 --> 00:43:23.239
<v Speaker 2>Rick, I totally totally agree with you. I'll let Dave

930
00:43:23.360 --> 00:43:25.280
<v Speaker 2>respond to that as well. But the good thing is

931
00:43:25.679 --> 00:43:28.719
<v Speaker 2>now I understand you can observe and pay attention.

932
00:43:29.039 --> 00:43:30.400
<v Speaker 4>We just got to get you to do that when

933
00:43:30.440 --> 00:43:33.039
<v Speaker 4>we play poker. But your great observation.

934
00:43:33.400 --> 00:43:36.000
<v Speaker 2>Great observation, because the one thing that he was brilliant at,

935
00:43:36.039 --> 00:43:37.400
<v Speaker 2>and I was gonna say this when we came back

936
00:43:37.679 --> 00:43:42.480
<v Speaker 2>before he called Rick, is he's a fantastic, fantastic scout

937
00:43:42.840 --> 00:43:46.320
<v Speaker 2>of if eversont if Luke needed a scout against the

938
00:43:46.360 --> 00:43:48.280
<v Speaker 2>best teams, he was.

939
00:43:48.239 --> 00:43:50.199
<v Speaker 4>The dude, how do you know that? How do I

940
00:43:50.239 --> 00:43:50.440
<v Speaker 4>know that?

941
00:43:50.440 --> 00:43:53.360
<v Speaker 2>Because he scouted most of the big I covered thirty

942
00:43:53.400 --> 00:43:54.360
<v Speaker 2>to twenty five years.

943
00:43:54.719 --> 00:43:56.760
<v Speaker 6>Sometimes the newspaper will put, like, you know the scouting

944
00:43:56.800 --> 00:43:59.400
<v Speaker 6>report and say, you know, coach so and so did that.

945
00:43:59.639 --> 00:44:02.320
<v Speaker 4>But he was he was the best.

946
00:44:02.400 --> 00:44:05.239
<v Speaker 2>That's great because that's how that's why he landed a

947
00:44:05.360 --> 00:44:07.760
<v Speaker 2>job with Loot. It was kind of in the book

948
00:44:07.800 --> 00:44:10.000
<v Speaker 2>thing that was his thing. He was kind of a

949
00:44:10.000 --> 00:44:13.039
<v Speaker 2>scout geek. And very good at it. I just appreciated

950
00:44:13.039 --> 00:44:15.440
<v Speaker 2>the loyalty. You know that there was those two guys.

951
00:44:15.440 --> 00:44:17.280
<v Speaker 6>I mean, they were a team for how many years,

952
00:44:17.639 --> 00:44:19.960
<v Speaker 6>twenty years until they were at the end, but they

953
00:44:20.039 --> 00:44:21.679
<v Speaker 6>know at the end was just sad for a lot

954
00:44:21.719 --> 00:44:23.719
<v Speaker 6>of us who didn't really know all the inside stories.

955
00:44:23.800 --> 00:44:25.920
<v Speaker 2>Sure, as part of the book, it took some things out,

956
00:44:25.920 --> 00:44:27.400
<v Speaker 2>but he was part of the book of what happened.

957
00:44:28.480 --> 00:44:30.960
<v Speaker 16>And here's one of the when you mentioned him as

958
00:44:31.000 --> 00:44:34.880
<v Speaker 16>a scout. He had developed a lot of relationships throughout

959
00:44:34.960 --> 00:44:40.000
<v Speaker 16>the country that people respected his opinion and he learned

960
00:44:40.000 --> 00:44:44.239
<v Speaker 16>to respect theirs. And it's that mutual trust the coaches

961
00:44:44.280 --> 00:44:48.760
<v Speaker 16>and people in the industries have, even if their competitors,

962
00:44:48.800 --> 00:44:53.079
<v Speaker 16>they have this mutual respect. And he garnered when he

963
00:44:53.239 --> 00:44:55.920
<v Speaker 16>talked about going to Texas Tech. My cousin's from Lubbock,

964
00:44:56.760 --> 00:45:00.400
<v Speaker 16>and so I'm thinking about going out for that game, but.

965
00:45:02.880 --> 00:45:04.760
<v Speaker 4>Go ahead, go ahead. Well, so this is one of

966
00:45:04.800 --> 00:45:05.800
<v Speaker 4>the things I think I had.

967
00:45:05.960 --> 00:45:07.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if I talked to Josh about this,

968
00:45:07.480 --> 00:45:09.840
<v Speaker 2>but I may have talked to Ross about this maybe

969
00:45:09.880 --> 00:45:11.880
<v Speaker 2>a few years ago. One of the things that I

970
00:45:11.920 --> 00:45:15.880
<v Speaker 2>thought Josh didn't do, or maybe he did I can't

971
00:45:15.920 --> 00:45:20.679
<v Speaker 2>remember now, was have Ross go with him to be

972
00:45:20.880 --> 00:45:23.559
<v Speaker 2>part of the coaching staff in Memphis, just to have

973
00:45:23.679 --> 00:45:27.199
<v Speaker 2>that veteran coach and guy who knew basketball. You know,

974
00:45:27.360 --> 00:45:29.639
<v Speaker 2>I can't remember who Josh had, but I know what

975
00:45:29.719 --> 00:45:32.000
<v Speaker 2>he had in Ross, and he just didn't.

976
00:45:31.960 --> 00:45:34.119
<v Speaker 6>It's kind of like what Tommy did with Steve Robinson

977
00:45:34.199 --> 00:45:36.599
<v Speaker 6>coming from North Carolina. Guy had been around as an

978
00:45:36.599 --> 00:45:39.559
<v Speaker 6>assistant and head coach for years. So I can think

979
00:45:39.559 --> 00:45:42.320
<v Speaker 6>a lot of these younger coaches do need someone to

980
00:45:42.320 --> 00:45:44.880
<v Speaker 6>do that guy, someone who's had some history, someone who

981
00:45:44.880 --> 00:45:47.119
<v Speaker 6>has a lot of experience in different parts of the game,

982
00:45:47.239 --> 00:45:49.760
<v Speaker 6>whether it's scouting or dealing with the media or dealing

983
00:45:49.760 --> 00:45:52.840
<v Speaker 6>with fans. Says I'm sure Steve is very helpful, maybe

984
00:45:52.960 --> 00:45:54.119
<v Speaker 6>just quietly behind.

985
00:45:53.840 --> 00:45:58.159
<v Speaker 2>The scenes, you mean, oh Steve, Yeah, yeah, okay.

986
00:45:58.360 --> 00:46:01.960
<v Speaker 16>And one more things, Todd over a team. I've known

987
00:46:02.000 --> 00:46:04.840
<v Speaker 16>Todd for a long time, even before he had the

988
00:46:04.840 --> 00:46:08.199
<v Speaker 16>team of job. He was at the women's assistant with

989
00:46:08.320 --> 00:46:13.079
<v Speaker 16>Joan and uh. He's so smart. He's incorporated people like

990
00:46:13.199 --> 00:46:17.159
<v Speaker 16>joh Or Roz into his program. But he can be

991
00:46:17.199 --> 00:46:20.360
<v Speaker 16>a better coach, and that's a that's a sign of

992
00:46:20.400 --> 00:46:22.639
<v Speaker 16>a good coach. That he's willing to learn from other

993
00:46:22.719 --> 00:46:25.039
<v Speaker 16>people and not let as ego getting away. So I'll

994
00:46:25.119 --> 00:46:25.840
<v Speaker 16>let you guys go.

995
00:46:26.159 --> 00:46:28.639
<v Speaker 2>Rick, you up here very well, I'm gonna pay. I'm

996
00:46:28.639 --> 00:46:31.639
<v Speaker 2>gonna write this stuff down next time I see you, all.

997
00:46:31.599 --> 00:46:34.320
<v Speaker 8>Right, Steve, put it in, Just put it on my tab.

998
00:46:35.079 --> 00:46:39.079
<v Speaker 2>Next you realize, Rick, you your tab is running right?

999
00:46:40.199 --> 00:46:43.159
<v Speaker 16>Yeah, I know. I think I owe you twenty bucks

1000
00:46:43.239 --> 00:46:43.599
<v Speaker 16>or something.

1001
00:46:44.559 --> 00:46:49.719
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for the call. Uh, I love it. Uh. We

1002
00:46:49.840 --> 00:46:52.239
<v Speaker 2>got maybe a room for another call. But but that's

1003
00:46:52.280 --> 00:46:55.960
<v Speaker 2>what I was going to bring back. Ross, fantastic scout guy.

1004
00:46:56.039 --> 00:46:56.440
<v Speaker 4>That's good.

1005
00:46:56.599 --> 00:46:59.079
<v Speaker 2>That's that's the lost art man. I don't even know

1006
00:46:59.079 --> 00:47:00.239
<v Speaker 2>how they do it because they have to what so

1007
00:47:00.320 --> 00:47:00.760
<v Speaker 2>much film.

1008
00:47:00.840 --> 00:47:03.519
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, and I guess maybe the difference now too is

1009
00:47:03.559 --> 00:47:06.880
<v Speaker 6>everything's on TV, you know, so you pretty much see things.

1010
00:47:06.920 --> 00:47:09.840
<v Speaker 4>You know, game, the game, the call, you're on the

1011
00:47:09.840 --> 00:47:10.920
<v Speaker 4>air and eye of the ball. Who's this?

1012
00:47:11.880 --> 00:47:15.320
<v Speaker 18>Hey, Steve has to go and miss Doug another.

1013
00:47:15.039 --> 00:47:15.960
<v Speaker 4>Guy who watched.

1014
00:47:17.639 --> 00:47:20.440
<v Speaker 18>I've watched a lot of basketball and uh, and hey, Dave,

1015
00:47:20.639 --> 00:47:23.760
<v Speaker 18>good to talk to you again. I haven't haven't talked

1016
00:47:23.760 --> 00:47:25.239
<v Speaker 18>to you, probably since we sat next to each other

1017
00:47:25.320 --> 00:47:28.559
<v Speaker 18>at the Tackbell Baseball tournament up in shot scale that time.

1018
00:47:29.719 --> 00:47:33.280
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, yeah, yeah, so.

1019
00:47:33.960 --> 00:47:35.800
<v Speaker 18>Yeah, first off, I know you're probably getting close in

1020
00:47:35.800 --> 00:47:37.599
<v Speaker 18>the top of the hour here, but yeah, with Ros,

1021
00:47:37.679 --> 00:47:39.360
<v Speaker 18>I mean I I echo what the last collar said,

1022
00:47:39.440 --> 00:47:40.960
<v Speaker 18>just class all the way.

1023
00:47:41.760 --> 00:47:43.920
<v Speaker 4>Uh, but not just class. I mean he had the

1024
00:47:44.000 --> 00:47:45.119
<v Speaker 4>x's nose to back it up.

1025
00:47:45.760 --> 00:47:47.800
<v Speaker 18>What I really I don't know what what Tommy does

1026
00:47:47.880 --> 00:47:50.519
<v Speaker 18>or what Seawn did, but his loop's assistance would all,

1027
00:47:51.000 --> 00:47:54.119
<v Speaker 18>I believe you can correct me, would have sort of a.

1028
00:47:54.079 --> 00:47:56.719
<v Speaker 8>Position assignment where one guy was in charge.

1029
00:47:56.519 --> 00:47:59.440
<v Speaker 18>Of the bigs and somebody was doing the guards. I

1030
00:47:59.480 --> 00:48:02.519
<v Speaker 18>don't remember is Roz had a specialty, but when I

1031
00:48:02.519 --> 00:48:04.840
<v Speaker 18>would go watch practices, I don't remember what, you know,

1032
00:48:05.119 --> 00:48:07.360
<v Speaker 18>which group he was working with, but he was he

1033
00:48:07.480 --> 00:48:10.760
<v Speaker 18>was very very on on the ball. So to speak

1034
00:48:11.360 --> 00:48:14.559
<v Speaker 18>with his with his group, and you could just yeah,

1035
00:48:14.800 --> 00:48:17.159
<v Speaker 18>like like the like you just brought up the scouting reports,

1036
00:48:17.239 --> 00:48:19.679
<v Speaker 18>you could always trust that the biggest games, it was

1037
00:48:19.679 --> 00:48:22.920
<v Speaker 18>gonna be a ROS game. Yeah, but yeah, I love

1038
00:48:22.960 --> 00:48:26.079
<v Speaker 18>the guy, uh, Mike. My My Ros anecdote is that

1039
00:48:26.360 --> 00:48:28.280
<v Speaker 18>we were at the I was fortunate enough to be

1040
00:48:28.320 --> 00:48:30.920
<v Speaker 18>at the final four in Minneapolis in two thousand and one,

1041
00:48:31.599 --> 00:48:35.159
<v Speaker 18>and I got seats through that leg department and managed

1042
00:48:35.199 --> 00:48:38.880
<v Speaker 18>to sit next to Roz's wife, Kim, lovely woman, uh,

1043
00:48:39.000 --> 00:48:42.320
<v Speaker 18>really sweetheart of a person. And for whatever reason, there

1044
00:48:42.400 --> 00:48:44.000
<v Speaker 18>was somebody who's probably like I don't know if it

1045
00:48:44.039 --> 00:48:45.840
<v Speaker 18>was in the semis, maybe it was a Michigan State

1046
00:48:45.880 --> 00:48:48.079
<v Speaker 18>fan or something, but somebody was giving her a hard time.

1047
00:48:48.760 --> 00:48:51.079
<v Speaker 18>And I just had something to the guy and for

1048
00:48:51.239 --> 00:48:53.280
<v Speaker 18>the gal whoever it was, and just said like, this

1049
00:48:53.320 --> 00:48:55.719
<v Speaker 18>is like the wife of our assistant coach. He's all class.

1050
00:48:55.920 --> 00:48:57.360
<v Speaker 18>Why don't you give it a rest, you know, And

1051
00:48:57.440 --> 00:48:59.000
<v Speaker 18>I kind of stood up for her a little bit,

1052
00:48:59.719 --> 00:49:03.519
<v Speaker 18>And for years to come, Roz would never if he

1053
00:49:03.559 --> 00:49:06.280
<v Speaker 18>saw me, he wouldn't. He never failed to thank me

1054
00:49:06.320 --> 00:49:08.280
<v Speaker 18>for that. It's just a small gesture I made. But

1055
00:49:08.719 --> 00:49:11.039
<v Speaker 18>and he also like mailed me a handwritten note thanking

1056
00:49:11.079 --> 00:49:13.519
<v Speaker 18>me for standing up for his wife's honor at this.

1057
00:49:13.639 --> 00:49:14.599
<v Speaker 4>At the basketball game.

1058
00:49:14.840 --> 00:49:16.519
<v Speaker 8>That's just it's just the kind of guy he is,

1059
00:49:16.639 --> 00:49:17.000
<v Speaker 8>you know.

1060
00:49:18.119 --> 00:49:20.440
<v Speaker 18>So yeah, he's he's a real asset to the community.

1061
00:49:20.559 --> 00:49:22.599
<v Speaker 18>It's really good to know he's still working with with

1062
00:49:22.760 --> 00:49:30.400
<v Speaker 18>youth because he's got a lot to offer right well,

1063
00:49:30.400 --> 00:49:31.920
<v Speaker 18>you know, there's been a lot of guys through the

1064
00:49:31.960 --> 00:49:34.559
<v Speaker 18>program that have had sort of that same wry sense

1065
00:49:34.559 --> 00:49:38.960
<v Speaker 18>of humor. The Steve Kerr, Matt Mulebot, Jim Rosborough and

1066
00:49:39.039 --> 00:49:43.320
<v Speaker 18>even Luke just kind of deadpan. They just slipped something

1067
00:49:43.320 --> 00:49:45.159
<v Speaker 18>in there. You don't realize it's funny for at first,

1068
00:49:45.199 --> 00:49:46.440
<v Speaker 18>and then you're like, oh wait, that was.

1069
00:49:46.360 --> 00:49:47.079
<v Speaker 8>Actually pretty good.

1070
00:49:49.320 --> 00:49:49.599
<v Speaker 3>Dry.

1071
00:49:49.760 --> 00:49:52.360
<v Speaker 18>Yeah, dry, that's probably the better word for it. If
