60
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:56.319

61
00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:57.879
<v Speaker 4>these places, Well, yeah, but they're underrated.

62
00:02:58.039 --> 00:02:58.159
<v Speaker 2>Right.

63
00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:01.639
<v Speaker 4>Let me let me ask you there, top twenty five team. Yeah,

64
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:03.199
<v Speaker 4>I think so, you know, yeah, I mean right, I

65
00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:06.360
<v Speaker 4>think we can say that without but they're they're in

66
00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:09.879
<v Speaker 4>that area where in the twenty to twenty five range

67
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:11.159
<v Speaker 4>where you know.

68
00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:13.560
<v Speaker 2>Could go either way. Yeah, So let me ask you this.

69
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:16.439
<v Speaker 2>Something came up this week and someone said, oh, that's

70
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:19.719
<v Speaker 2>bulletin board material for somebody, And I'm thinking, I don't

71
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:22.039
<v Speaker 2>having been an ex athlete, I can't remember, and I'm

72
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:26.319
<v Speaker 2>sure it did. Do you think did bulletin board material

73
00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:29.520
<v Speaker 2>motivate you? And do you think it you need to

74
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:30.400
<v Speaker 2>have that to motivate you?

75
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:32.680
<v Speaker 4>Don't need to have that, but sometimes you get it,

76
00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:37.039
<v Speaker 4>so you use it. Example, so when I was coaching

77
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:40.639
<v Speaker 4>assistant coach for Saint Gregor.

78
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:42.479
<v Speaker 2>The mead streets of Saint Gregor mean streets.

79
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:46.879
<v Speaker 4>Of Saint Gregory, right, and it's a Saturday doubleheader. He

80
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:50.280
<v Speaker 4>le Ben is coming down the right streets and they

81
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:53.039
<v Speaker 4>were number one in the state, in our in our division,

82
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:57.639
<v Speaker 4>so you know, and it's at our place. So we're

83
00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:00.280
<v Speaker 4>in our dug out there and they're dugout and we

84
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:05.000
<v Speaker 4>hear their pregame talk and the coach says, what we

85
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:08.319
<v Speaker 4>all heard, what the whole team heard, was let's show

86
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:11.680
<v Speaker 4>them why we're number one, all right, And our guys

87
00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:14.639
<v Speaker 4>played their best game of the year because of that, right,

88
00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:18.120
<v Speaker 4>Because then we got an old said, they don't respect you.

89
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:20.639
<v Speaker 4>They're coming here, they're coming here to kick your ass.

90
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:22.519
<v Speaker 4>They have no respect for you. They think you got

91
00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:24.279
<v Speaker 4>no chance. And we beat him in the first game

92
00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:24.839
<v Speaker 4>of the double hair.

93
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:27.360
<v Speaker 2>How did you not heard that? Have they not said that?

94
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:30.160
<v Speaker 4>I thought our guys were intimidated because they because they

95
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:32.319
<v Speaker 4>had a kid who was going to be a Division one,

96
00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:34.519
<v Speaker 4>their catcher and he was a pitcher, was going to

97
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:37.680
<v Speaker 4>be a Division one player he was getting I think

98
00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:40.879
<v Speaker 4>I think I ended up getting recruited to Utah. But

99
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:45.279
<v Speaker 4>are kids heard that, and so our coach and we said, look,

100
00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:47.600
<v Speaker 4>they think they're just coming here to kick your ass,

101
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:50.199
<v Speaker 4>play two five Indian games and go home. And we

102
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:52.120
<v Speaker 4>and we used it and we beat him in the

103
00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:55.079
<v Speaker 4>first game and it was a huge win for us.

104
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:57.399
<v Speaker 4>And then they se.

105
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:03.879
<v Speaker 2>The the Gonzales guy that I know that should have

106
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:07.040
<v Speaker 2>done this next week, give them five bucks, dead bucks,

107
00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:10.480
<v Speaker 2>could you say something scrap about us to motivate our

108
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:11.240
<v Speaker 2>kids to play it.

109
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:17.240
<v Speaker 4>But we knew we had just pissed them off because

110
00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:19.399
<v Speaker 4>they came out and they just obliterated this in the

111
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:20.079
<v Speaker 4>second game.

112
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:21.720
<v Speaker 2>Because the guy that was going to Utah pissed the

113
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:22.240
<v Speaker 2>next game.

114
00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:23.399
<v Speaker 4>But they were really mad.

115
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:25.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

116
00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:29.600
<v Speaker 3>Arizona Gymnastics has hired Shelby Martinez to join the coaching

117
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:32.519

<v Speaker 2>Okay, right, yeah, that program too is kind of like

121
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:42.000
<v Speaker 2>under the radar.

122
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:44.160
<v Speaker 4>Well you know, but it's been It's one of those

123
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:47.439
<v Speaker 4>programs that's been in a very tough league. Yeah, right,

124
00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:49.560
<v Speaker 4>it's gonna be interesting to see how some of these programs,

125
00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:54.120
<v Speaker 4>like like volleyball, like women's basketball, like uh, you know soccer,

126
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:57.240
<v Speaker 4>that soccer that are you know where the packed the

127
00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:03.519
<v Speaker 4>Packed twelve in women's sports, it's tough and pretty much

128
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:09.040
<v Speaker 4>every sport, right, Tennis, all those golf we're gonna see. Now, Okay,

129
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:11.600
<v Speaker 4>now they're in the Big twelve. How does you know

130
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:15.920
<v Speaker 4>are they do they finish higher in there, in in

131
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:18.839
<v Speaker 4>in the league by being continued to be basically the

132
00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:21.879
<v Speaker 4>same program, right, you know, it's interesting to see that.

133
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:26.040
<v Speaker 2>I'll say yes, just to say yes. But when you

134
00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:28.279
<v Speaker 2>have Stanford and you have those type of.

135
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:30.879
<v Speaker 4>Teams of the usc usc UCLA who.

136
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:34.759
<v Speaker 2>Are fantastic in the Olympic sports, right, but Stanford specifically,

137
00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:36.319
<v Speaker 2>it's tough to get through that.

138
00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:39.360
<v Speaker 4>It's gonna be Michie to see where, you know, women's basketball,

139
00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:42.120
<v Speaker 4>because look they've got you know, Baylor's you know, won

140
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:46.199
<v Speaker 4>national championships and all that stuff. So but it's interesting

141
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:49.439
<v Speaker 4>to see how basketball turn women's basketball turns out. With

142
00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:52.319
<v Speaker 4>moving to the Big Twelve.

143
00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:56.399
<v Speaker 3>The Broncos have named Bo Nicks their starting quarterback for

144
00:06:56.519 --> 00:06:57.279
<v Speaker 3>a week one.

145
00:06:57.240 --> 00:06:58.000
<v Speaker 2>I love that guy.

146
00:06:58.240 --> 00:06:59.199
<v Speaker 6>I love it.

147
00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:00.839
<v Speaker 2>Might be too strong, but he thought of the world

148
00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:03.519
<v Speaker 2>of him last year, even thought he before Penix was Penix,

149
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:05.759
<v Speaker 2>that he was better than Penix, and then Panicx beat

150
00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:08.800
<v Speaker 2>him twice. So but he's he's a solid dude. He's

151
00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:12.120
<v Speaker 2>a solid dude. Like thirty five years old, he's twenty

152
00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:15.560
<v Speaker 2>five in the somebody that twenty four five.

153
00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:19.600
<v Speaker 4>Well, he played like six years in college, did didn't he?

00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:19.639
<v Speaker 4>he's he's a cyclone. When he comes over our places,

240
00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:20.399
<v Speaker 4>he just.

241
00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:23.360
<v Speaker 2>Trashes the place, and you the grandfather loves.

242
00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:25.320
<v Speaker 4>It and then we pick it up and goes home.

243
00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:27.320
<v Speaker 4>And then he comes back and does it again.

244
00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:30.840
<v Speaker 2>Your kids do that? What the hell? Yeah?

245
00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:33.039
<v Speaker 4>Oh well, growing up, you know we we could. You

246
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:35.879
<v Speaker 4>couldn't leave toys on oh yeah, or anything like that.

247
00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:39.600
<v Speaker 2>So so your kids are pushing. Had we done this,

248
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:42.799
<v Speaker 2>mom and dad, you would have killed us. Little junior here.

249
00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:46.480
<v Speaker 4>Grandkids could get away with way more than kids.

250
00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:51.679
<v Speaker 2>Pooped in the corner. Look how cute that is? Oh what? Ok?

251
00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:55.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, he's uh, he's a terror. I shouldn't call him

252
00:11:55.440 --> 00:11:57.360
<v Speaker 4>a terror, that that implies a bad thing. He just

253
00:11:57.720 --> 00:12:00.399
<v Speaker 4>he runs around the house and he gets into stuff

254
00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:02.080
<v Speaker 4>and he does things. And we've got all kinds of

255
00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:05.440
<v Speaker 4>toys and stuff for are you'd think we had the kid?

256
00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:07.519
<v Speaker 4>I mean, you think we were the parents of the kid.

257
00:12:08.039 --> 00:12:10.720
<v Speaker 2>No, that's you being a typical grand parent exactly. And

258
00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:11.879
<v Speaker 2>then he goes away in your fund.

259
00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:14.039
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and then he yeah, he goes to sleep somewhere else.

260
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:15.919
<v Speaker 2>I get it. I get it.

261
00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:19.159
<v Speaker 4>Although I think we're scheduling sleepover for him over over

262
00:12:19.360 --> 00:12:22.240
<v Speaker 4>Labor Day weekend. I'm like, it can't it can't be.

263
00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:27.559
<v Speaker 4>It can't be like the night before a tailgate or

264
00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:32.399
<v Speaker 4>the day after games. It might have to be like Monday. Yeah, well,

265
00:12:32.440 --> 00:12:35.600
<v Speaker 4>not just that. It just the day after a football

266
00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:37.360
<v Speaker 4>game is just it's like a hangover. Even though I

267
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:40.759
<v Speaker 4>don't drink heavily, the day after a football game is

268
00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:42.799
<v Speaker 4>like it might as well be a hangover. You have

269
00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:45.799
<v Speaker 4>to get you know, just shut down for the day

270
00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:48.120
<v Speaker 4>and get over it. That's just the way it is

271
00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:51.200
<v Speaker 4>for us. So, but you know, for those you got

272
00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:53.679
<v Speaker 4>grandkids out there, I'm sure you're in the same way.

273
00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:56.440
<v Speaker 4>Our kid. Our grandkid could do anything he wants. He

274
00:12:56.480 --> 00:12:58.720
<v Speaker 4>could set the house on fire, and we'll find somebody

275
00:12:58.759 --> 00:12:59.399
<v Speaker 4>else to blame it.

276
00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:04.039
<v Speaker 2>On, not my son. So let me say ask you

277
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:06.600
<v Speaker 2>this kind of switches about. We only have two minus anyway,

278
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:10.320
<v Speaker 2>uh in order for the Arizona football team, I may

279
00:13:10.360 --> 00:13:14.519
<v Speaker 2>have asked you this question already to succeed, especially the

280
00:13:14.559 --> 00:13:21.120
<v Speaker 2>early offense defense, uh I.

281
00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:23.840
<v Speaker 4>I I think the Big the Big twelve is seen

282
00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:27.240
<v Speaker 4>as a conference, so you gotta score points. You score

283
00:13:27.279 --> 00:13:32.279
<v Speaker 4>a lot of points. Now, the defenses maybe aren't what

284
00:13:32.759 --> 00:13:36.679
<v Speaker 4>you know you see in other leagues, but I think

285
00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:37.919
<v Speaker 4>you're gonna have to put a lot of points on

286
00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:39.279
<v Speaker 4>the board because they're gonna.

287
00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:41.159
<v Speaker 2>Score more than they did in the Pac twelve.

288
00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:45.559
<v Speaker 4>I think so because there's no d Like, if they

289
00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:48.240
<v Speaker 4>have a really good defense, then they're gonna you know,

290
00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:50.879
<v Speaker 4>they're gonna kill it, but they're gonna have to outscore

291
00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:53.759
<v Speaker 4>some people. I think, you know, some of the you know,

292
00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:58.159
<v Speaker 4>there's a bunch of good quarterbacks in the league. But

293
00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:01.120
<v Speaker 4>what you know, what it seems to me and talent

294
00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:04.159
<v Speaker 4>wise at least, is that Arizona's I think they might

295
00:14:04.200 --> 00:14:06.600
<v Speaker 4>have a pretty good balance. Yeah, I think they're going

296
00:14:06.679 --> 00:14:08.720
<v Speaker 4>to be really good offensively. I think they're gonna be

297
00:14:08.759 --> 00:14:12.080
<v Speaker 4>really good defensively. The question is how good offensively? How

298
00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:16.720
<v Speaker 4>good defensively? And does one is one you know, a

299
00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:19.759
<v Speaker 4>bigger factor than the other. We're just gonna have to

300
00:14:19.799 --> 00:14:21.519
<v Speaker 4>find out to find that out as it goes along.

301
00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:25.320
<v Speaker 4>I don't know. See, that's the mystery of you know,

302

<v Speaker 5>from Pennsylvania watching the Little League World Series, you know,

400
00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:17.000
<v Speaker 5>which was on my bucket list.

401
00:19:16.799 --> 00:19:19.039
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, how cool is that? Why you did it?

402
00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:23.799
<v Speaker 5>Well, I had an opportunity to go back, and I

403
00:19:23.880 --> 00:19:27.519
<v Speaker 5>had a former manager that lives in Williamsport, and so

404
00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:30.200
<v Speaker 5>I got a chance to visit with him, and then

405
00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:34.480
<v Speaker 5>jess Mondeza, of course is doing the broadcast, got to

406
00:19:34.599 --> 00:19:37.240
<v Speaker 5>visit with her. And then I did a little bit

407
00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:43.559
<v Speaker 5>of stuff for Little League. They're celebrating fifty years of

408
00:19:43.559 --> 00:19:49.480
<v Speaker 5>women nice and it was an opportunity to do a

409
00:19:49.480 --> 00:19:53.519
<v Speaker 5>little blurb for them and then watch the Yankees. Unfortunately,

410
00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:58.240
<v Speaker 5>it was a great event, I mean unbelievable to be

411
00:19:58.359 --> 00:20:01.720
<v Speaker 5>that close to the right, the to the accent, very

412
00:20:01.720 --> 00:20:06.200
<v Speaker 5>intimate setting, and I happen to leave in the in

413
00:20:06.319 --> 00:20:09.400
<v Speaker 5>the in the ninth inning. And then the Yankees, stead

414
00:20:09.400 --> 00:20:10.480
<v Speaker 5>of losing a game.

415
00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:13.559
<v Speaker 2>Right, No, that's must have been a fantastic for the kids,

416
00:20:13.680 --> 00:20:15.880
<v Speaker 2>especially in people like you who have this love for

417
00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:16.480
<v Speaker 2>the Yankees.

418
00:20:17.279 --> 00:20:21.559
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it's just a wonderful event. You know. I told

419
00:20:21.599 --> 00:20:23.599
<v Speaker 5>someone the other day, I remember walking into the Yankee

420
00:20:23.640 --> 00:20:26.119
<v Speaker 5>Stadium for the first time back in the day and

421
00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:28.240
<v Speaker 5>had chills up and down my spine. And then I

422
00:20:28.319 --> 00:20:32.799
<v Speaker 5>walked in the Lamede Stadium in Williams Sport and had

423
00:20:32.839 --> 00:20:36.400
<v Speaker 5>the same feeling. Well, you know, it's just amazing being

424
00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:39.519
<v Speaker 5>able to watch that for years and being close to

425
00:20:39.559 --> 00:20:41.720
<v Speaker 5>getting there as a as a kid and a player,

426
00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:44.000
<v Speaker 5>but I never got there, and so this was a

427
00:20:44.039 --> 00:20:46.359
<v Speaker 5>great opportunity and it's just a wonderful event.

428
00:20:46.519 --> 00:20:48.920
<v Speaker 4>Wait wait, wait, how close were you to getting there?

429
00:20:50.240 --> 00:20:54.359
<v Speaker 5>Well, we got beat. I want to go back and

430
00:20:54.359 --> 00:20:59.680
<v Speaker 5>think that we got beat in the regional Wow. Okay, yeah,

431
00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:03.880
<v Speaker 5>but yeah that was about about it, you know. But

432
00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:06.319
<v Speaker 5>it's just it's a great age group, you know, ten

433
00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:11.279
<v Speaker 5>to twelve years old, and to watch these kids, the

434
00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:14.480
<v Speaker 5>talent level has just been unbelievable. I mean, the games

435
00:21:14.519 --> 00:21:18.759
<v Speaker 5>are really close and good and they actually get the

436
00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:23.119
<v Speaker 5>game well and it's it's fun to watch.

437
00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:25.359
<v Speaker 2>So so let's stay there for a little bit. We

438
00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:29.200
<v Speaker 2>had the the Wilcox coach on I don't know, maybe Monday,

439
00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:32.599
<v Speaker 2>I think it was Monday Softball, and you know their story, right,

440
00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:34.839
<v Speaker 2>and we're thinking, how in the world did that happen?

441
00:21:34.920 --> 00:21:38.160
<v Speaker 2>This will this tiny town in Wilcox, has this fantastic

442
00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:41.720
<v Speaker 2>team get that far and does it with a coach

443
00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:44.079
<v Speaker 2>like you or you know, when you were actually coaching,

444
00:21:44.359 --> 00:21:46.559
<v Speaker 2>start looking at girls that age.

445
00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:51.359
<v Speaker 5>No, not really, I mean it's at that level. It

446
00:21:51.440 --> 00:21:55.680
<v Speaker 5>usually comes down to the same thing in balid softball,

447
00:21:55.680 --> 00:21:59.359
<v Speaker 5>and that's pitching, you know, and sometimes you have that

448
00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:02.640
<v Speaker 5>it's in a lifetime kid that you know, we have

449
00:22:02.680 --> 00:22:04.839
<v Speaker 5>a kid today that I was watching throwing eighty miles

450
00:22:04.839 --> 00:22:07.319
<v Speaker 5>an hour. That's one hundred and something miles an hour

451
00:22:08.079 --> 00:22:11.880
<v Speaker 5>in baseball, and that can make you competitive pretty quickly.

452
00:22:13.119 --> 00:22:15.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well you had yours right of course.

453
00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:16.839
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

454
00:22:16.200 --> 00:22:21.519
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so when you do it, because I've had the

455
00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:24.039
<v Speaker 4>good fortune have to be able to go there. I

456
00:22:24.119 --> 00:22:27.039
<v Speaker 4>was a long time ago, but seeing that whole atmosphere

457
00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:29.079
<v Speaker 4>at the Little League World Series and what has become now,

458
00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:31.720
<v Speaker 4>you know where they built the second stadium and they've

459
00:22:31.720 --> 00:22:33.880
<v Speaker 4>got all those things going on around there. Then with

460
00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:37.799
<v Speaker 4>ESPN over there. I mean that that whole atmosphere has

461
00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:40.000
<v Speaker 4>to be, as you said, you know, kind of a

462
00:22:40.039 --> 00:22:42.559
<v Speaker 4>bucket listing. For you to have been able to see

463
00:22:42.599 --> 00:22:43.240
<v Speaker 4>all of that.

464
00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:47.359
<v Speaker 5>It's it's just it's unbelievable. You know, you watched it

465
00:22:47.400 --> 00:22:51.680
<v Speaker 5>for years and you don't really get an understanding of

466
00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:56.279
<v Speaker 5>how grand the place really is. Now it's just fabulous

467
00:22:56.319 --> 00:22:59.079
<v Speaker 5>with the two beautiful fields. I have practice fields, I

468
00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:02.759
<v Speaker 5>have a beautiful gift shop. They have uh you know,

469
00:23:02.839 --> 00:23:08.359
<v Speaker 5>the the barracks where the kids stay. It's just a

470
00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:12.720
<v Speaker 5>phenomenal facility. And I'm very well kept up and and

471
00:23:12.960 --> 00:23:15.799
<v Speaker 5>very well attended. I mean there was tons of people there,

472
00:23:17.759 --> 00:23:21.559
<v Speaker 5>but just just yeah, a very fun, wholesome atmosphere. They

473
00:23:21.559 --> 00:23:25.799
<v Speaker 5>don't serve beer, you know they It just takes it

474
00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:28.440
<v Speaker 5>back to your your childhood days playing the game for

475
00:23:28.480 --> 00:23:29.079
<v Speaker 5>the love of the game.

476
00:23:29.200 --> 00:23:30.799
<v Speaker 2>Right. Good, Then you don't have parents yelling at the

477
00:23:30.839 --> 00:23:37.400
<v Speaker 2>kids going crazy. You know, are they doing that beer

478
00:23:37.480 --> 00:23:40.720
<v Speaker 2>or no beer? Right? Yeah? Yeah, So so I was

479
00:23:40.759 --> 00:23:43.079
<v Speaker 2>going to touch you. We talked to quickly two weeks

480
00:23:43.079 --> 00:23:45.480
<v Speaker 2>ago at least communicated and wanted to have you on.

481
00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:48.519
<v Speaker 2>And the Olympics were going on. They did not have softball,

482
00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:51.400
<v Speaker 2>it'll come back. How cool is that they're coming back?

483
00:23:51.400 --> 00:23:54.000
<v Speaker 2>And then Jay of course lets me know it's all

484
00:23:54.039 --> 00:23:55.200
<v Speaker 2>going to be in Oklahoma City.

485
00:23:56.119 --> 00:23:57.160
<v Speaker 4>How do you feel about that?

486
00:23:57.960 --> 00:24:01.559
<v Speaker 5>Well, I'm excited that, you know, softba'll be back on

487
00:24:01.680 --> 00:24:05.559
<v Speaker 5>the program in LA. And I was a little disappointed

488
00:24:05.839 --> 00:24:07.480
<v Speaker 5>when I found out that they were going to do

489
00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:10.799
<v Speaker 5>the event in Oklahoma City. And the only reason why

490
00:24:10.799 --> 00:24:14.240
<v Speaker 5>I say that is because one of the greatest experiences

491
00:24:14.759 --> 00:24:17.720
<v Speaker 5>as an Olympian is being in the village right with

492
00:24:17.839 --> 00:24:20.640
<v Speaker 5>all the other athletes. And I don't know how they're

493
00:24:20.680 --> 00:24:23.640
<v Speaker 5>going to handle that, but I sure hope that the

494
00:24:23.720 --> 00:24:26.200
<v Speaker 5>softball and baseball guys get a chance to be a

495
00:24:26.279 --> 00:24:30.279
<v Speaker 5>part of the village. But I understand why they're doing

496
00:24:30.279 --> 00:24:32.720
<v Speaker 5>it in Oklahoma City. I mean, you got a great

497
00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:37.319
<v Speaker 5>facility that they can put fifteen thousand people in and

498
00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:41.799
<v Speaker 5>it will be packed, no doubt. But I was hoping

499
00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:43.920
<v Speaker 5>that maybe they would use Dodger Stadium, and I think

500
00:24:43.960 --> 00:24:46.079
<v Speaker 5>they're going to use Dodger Stadium for baseball from what

501
00:24:46.160 --> 00:24:50.480
<v Speaker 5>I heard, but I guess they're not willing to transform

502
00:24:50.480 --> 00:24:53.039
<v Speaker 5>the field into a softball field for softball.

503
00:24:53.920 --> 00:24:56.319
<v Speaker 4>Well, I mean that would be kind of Goofy. Anyways,

504
00:24:56.599 --> 00:24:58.759
<v Speaker 4>didn't they do that? I don't know if it was

505
00:24:58.759 --> 00:25:01.119
<v Speaker 4>a World Championship or a the Olympics in the past

506
00:25:01.119 --> 00:25:05.839
<v Speaker 4>where the softball was on a on a baseball field

507
00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:07.680
<v Speaker 4>that was in Tokyo.

508
00:25:07.799 --> 00:25:12.519
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, see, it's very common in Japan. I mean that

509
00:25:12.680 --> 00:25:15.119
<v Speaker 5>they play a lot of games on a baseball field,

510
00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:19.759
<v Speaker 5>but they're all turf field, which is completely different. But

511
00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:24.960
<v Speaker 5>I think that's something that, you know, the to try

512
00:25:25.000 --> 00:25:26.599
<v Speaker 5>to stay in the Olympic Games, we've got to find

513
00:25:26.599 --> 00:25:29.640
<v Speaker 5>a way to get facilities that are reasonable. I mean,

514
00:25:30.079 --> 00:25:33.519
<v Speaker 5>you think think about where I have been in Greece.

515
00:25:33.559 --> 00:25:36.000
<v Speaker 5>They built a beautiful stadium, and then they have to

516
00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:38.240
<v Speaker 5>build free practice fields and then they have to build

517
00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:42.160
<v Speaker 5>a baseball stadium and practice fields and it's a pretty

518
00:25:42.200 --> 00:25:42.839
<v Speaker 5>big investment.

519
00:25:44.160 --> 00:25:46.279
<v Speaker 2>Does it Does it feel like twenty years ago?

520
00:25:46.559 --> 00:25:51.559
<v Speaker 5>Well for you, absolutely not. I mean I have to

521
00:25:51.759 --> 00:25:54.240
<v Speaker 5>I have to pinch myself that I'm I'm I'm going

522
00:25:54.319 --> 00:25:56.039
<v Speaker 5>to be the ages that I am. You know, It's

523
00:25:56.119 --> 00:25:59.200
<v Speaker 5>like where did all the time go? Yeah, it just

524
00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:00.279
<v Speaker 5>seemed like yesterday day.

525
00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:00.920
<v Speaker 2>Right.

526
00:26:01.039 --> 00:26:01.079
<v Speaker 5>No.

527
00:26:01.240 --> 00:26:03.720
<v Speaker 2>And one of my favorite memories of uh and I've

528
00:26:03.720 --> 00:26:05.720
<v Speaker 2>said this to you a few times, Mike Uh.

529
00:26:05.799 --> 00:26:05.880
<v Speaker 5>My.

530
00:26:06.039 --> 00:26:08.119
<v Speaker 2>One of my favorite memories of the Olympics when I

531
00:26:08.160 --> 00:26:10.799
<v Speaker 2>was there covering it and covering you specifically and the

532
00:26:10.839 --> 00:26:14.799
<v Speaker 2>team uh is you uh this is two thousand now, uh,

533
00:26:15.359 --> 00:26:18.519
<v Speaker 2>you winning the gold medal and you not celebrating with

534
00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:21.839
<v Speaker 2>the girls or the women, but you watching them enjoy

535
00:26:21.880 --> 00:26:22.359
<v Speaker 2>their moment.

536
00:26:23.160 --> 00:26:27.799
<v Speaker 5>Mmh. Yeah, That's that's kind of what it's all about,

537
00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:30.799
<v Speaker 5>you know. I mean, the journey is probably the toughest

538
00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:34.039
<v Speaker 5>part of it, and then trying to play your best softball,

539
00:26:34.279 --> 00:26:37.039
<v Speaker 5>you know, in those five or seven days that you

540
00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:41.400
<v Speaker 5>have to compete. It's it's pretty challenging, but but ultimately

541
00:26:41.759 --> 00:26:45.160
<v Speaker 5>just to watch the life changing experience for these kids

542
00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:46.880
<v Speaker 5>is really what it's all about.

543
00:26:47.079 --> 00:26:49.960
<v Speaker 2>Maybe if I could when I'm sure you know you're

544
00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:52.480
<v Speaker 2>friendly with Steve Kerr. He joked about it the other

545
00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:55.480
<v Speaker 2>night at the r n C UH giving the VP

546
00:26:56.000 --> 00:26:57.640
<v Speaker 2>some grief about being a coach and you know, and

547
00:26:57.680 --> 00:27:01.200
<v Speaker 2>being getting criticized a little. H He gets criticized all

548
00:27:01.240 --> 00:27:03.200
<v Speaker 2>the time, obviously being the Glarriors coach and the Team

549
00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:06.599
<v Speaker 2>USA guy. Did you feel pressure at those times in

550
00:27:06.640 --> 00:27:09.400
<v Speaker 2>the Team USA team where you had to win gold

551
00:27:09.440 --> 00:27:11.200
<v Speaker 2>because you were expected to win gold?

552
00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:12.160
<v Speaker 1>Oh?

553
00:27:12.200 --> 00:27:15.759
<v Speaker 5>Absolutely. I mean it's that that is definitely the standard

554
00:27:15.759 --> 00:27:20.480
<v Speaker 5>of representing the United States. You know, it's they had

555
00:27:20.519 --> 00:27:23.079
<v Speaker 5>done nothing but win gold, and so yeah, there was

556
00:27:23.200 --> 00:27:26.039
<v Speaker 5>there's a lot of pressure. I mean it you control

557
00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:28.440
<v Speaker 5>what you can't control, and you don't say that. You

558
00:27:28.599 --> 00:27:30.359
<v Speaker 5>keep saying that it's not going to affect you, but

559
00:27:30.519 --> 00:27:32.039
<v Speaker 5>you know, when you get in the arena and you're

560
00:27:32.039 --> 00:27:34.319
<v Speaker 5>playing for the gold medal, it's there's a lot of

561
00:27:34.359 --> 00:27:38.640
<v Speaker 5>the line and I'm just I'm very thankful that I

562
00:27:38.720 --> 00:27:42.920
<v Speaker 5>had an experience where I could feel the the thrill

563
00:27:43.000 --> 00:27:45.440
<v Speaker 5>of winning a gold medal, but then I also have

564
00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:48.559
<v Speaker 5>an experience of agonizing over a silver medal in two

565
00:27:48.599 --> 00:27:49.839
<v Speaker 5>thousand and eight in Beijing.

566
00:27:50.079 --> 00:27:52.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah right, all right, so let's talk about your uo

567
00:27:52.519 --> 00:27:57.359
<v Speaker 4>A stuff. What are you doing well.

568
00:27:57.680 --> 00:28:01.960
<v Speaker 5>I am just basically a part of the leadership team

569
00:28:02.079 --> 00:28:04.519
<v Speaker 5>for Desiree and trying to help her out any way

570
00:28:04.519 --> 00:28:06.759
<v Speaker 5>I can. I'm not really doing much right now. Yeah,

571
00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:11.480
<v Speaker 5>but with school starting up and getting into the swing

572
00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:14.440
<v Speaker 5>of things, it'll be you know, being able to go

573
00:28:14.519 --> 00:28:18.680
<v Speaker 5>to go to some events and start moving around and

574
00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:21.039
<v Speaker 5>talking to some of the coaches and see what kind

575
00:28:21.039 --> 00:28:23.240
<v Speaker 5>of challenges they have and try to help them out.

576
00:28:23.640 --> 00:28:26.279
<v Speaker 2>You are the suit sayer of the I mean you

577
00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:28.079
<v Speaker 2>you were when you were there anyway, they did go

578
00:28:28.119 --> 00:28:30.079
<v Speaker 2>to you for advice. I mean, I'm sure that's the

579
00:28:30.119 --> 00:28:31.480
<v Speaker 2>same thing going on now, right.

580
00:28:32.519 --> 00:28:36.039
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it's it's been it's been fun. I mean, we've

581
00:28:36.079 --> 00:28:38.279
<v Speaker 5>got a great group of coaches, and we've got some

582
00:28:38.359 --> 00:28:40.839
<v Speaker 5>new faces this year, you know, a new woman's golf coach,

583
00:28:40.920 --> 00:28:44.920
<v Speaker 5>and you know, being able to follow Rita and her

584
00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:49.880
<v Speaker 5>her challenges after following Dave Rubio and that it's been

585
00:28:49.920 --> 00:28:52.640
<v Speaker 5>fun and I think she's well in her way. But

586
00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:56.720
<v Speaker 5>now the movement into the Big twelve has been a

587
00:28:56.759 --> 00:29:01.079
<v Speaker 5>whole other set of challenges, you know, to be able

588
00:29:01.119 --> 00:29:04.519
<v Speaker 5>to make sure that we're prepared for that move and

589
00:29:04.599 --> 00:29:06.920
<v Speaker 5>being able to compete against some different people and going

590
00:29:06.920 --> 00:29:11.839
<v Speaker 5>to some different places. It's and and and the immediate

591
00:29:12.039 --> 00:29:14.400
<v Speaker 5>part of it, you know, being having to build another

592
00:29:16.160 --> 00:29:22.960
<v Speaker 5>center for you know, for being able to broadcast these games.

593
00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:24.880
<v Speaker 5>It's gonna be it's gonna be a challenge, but I

594
00:29:24.880 --> 00:29:26.440
<v Speaker 5>think it's gonna be a good, good challenge.

595
00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:28.240
<v Speaker 4>Well, and you were you were there long enough that

596
00:29:28.240 --> 00:29:30.079
<v Speaker 4>you went you know, you went through a number of

597
00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:33.119
<v Speaker 4>leadership changes that a new athletic directors even some you know,

598
00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:35.799
<v Speaker 4>you have a presidents and whatnot, and we've all done

599
00:29:35.880 --> 00:29:37.720
<v Speaker 4>that in the places that that we've worked. But then

600
00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:40.400
<v Speaker 4>you throw in the change is going to the Big twelve?

601
00:29:40.400 --> 00:29:45.240
<v Speaker 4>How different or do things feel different around McHale? You

602
00:29:45.240 --> 00:29:47.119
<v Speaker 4>know what I'm saying, there's sort of what whatever the

603
00:29:47.160 --> 00:29:50.920
<v Speaker 4>air or atmosphere is, what's that like? And how is

604
00:29:50.960 --> 00:29:55.359
<v Speaker 4>it different with you know, uh Desires not Dave Hekey.

605
00:29:55.839 --> 00:29:58.799
<v Speaker 4>You know, they're two different, very different people. Can you

606
00:29:58.960 --> 00:30:01.559
<v Speaker 4>tell that it feels different?

607
00:30:02.759 --> 00:30:05.680
<v Speaker 5>Well, it does feel different because I think she came

608
00:30:05.720 --> 00:30:08.599
<v Speaker 5>in with a lot of different sets of circumstances that

609
00:30:09.240 --> 00:30:12.359
<v Speaker 5>have to be addressed and addressed very quickly. So I

610
00:30:12.400 --> 00:30:15.319
<v Speaker 5>think she's finally you know, getting her staff around her

611
00:30:15.400 --> 00:30:20.279
<v Speaker 5>that she feels good about. And then she's looking at

612
00:30:20.279 --> 00:30:22.119
<v Speaker 5>some of the challenges that we're going to have to face.

613
00:30:22.160 --> 00:30:24.599
<v Speaker 5>And I think she's doing a good job of putting

614
00:30:24.640 --> 00:30:26.400
<v Speaker 5>the right people in the right places. And I think

615
00:30:26.519 --> 00:30:29.119
<v Speaker 5>right now we're just kind of biting, you know, biting

616
00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:32.960
<v Speaker 5>it for that first competition, right you know, with football

617
00:30:33.039 --> 00:30:35.200
<v Speaker 5>starting and and I think it's going to be a

618
00:30:35.960 --> 00:30:39.559
<v Speaker 5>learning year for all of us. But she's very talented,

619
00:30:39.720 --> 00:30:41.920
<v Speaker 5>and I think we've got a lot of good people

620
00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:45.319
<v Speaker 5>around her. And you know, there's no doubt in my

621
00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:49.519
<v Speaker 5>mind that the expectations are high. We want to not

622
00:30:49.640 --> 00:30:51.400
<v Speaker 5>just compete in the Big twelve, we want to win

623
00:30:51.440 --> 00:30:54.079
<v Speaker 5>in the Big twelve. And so there's a lot of

624
00:30:54.079 --> 00:30:56.759
<v Speaker 5>different areas that we have to get better at. And

625
00:30:57.079 --> 00:30:59.960
<v Speaker 5>I think that's just about everyone around the country right now.

626
00:31:00.960 --> 00:31:05.480
<v Speaker 5>With the nature of college athletics and you know the

627
00:31:05.599 --> 00:31:08.440
<v Speaker 5>NIL and the transfer portal, it's not just coaching anymore.

628
00:31:08.440 --> 00:31:11.160
<v Speaker 5>It's almost you have to have a general manager to

629
00:31:12.319 --> 00:31:14.039
<v Speaker 5>take care of all the things that gets you to

630
00:31:14.119 --> 00:31:17.640
<v Speaker 5>the field to start being able to coach. And I

631
00:31:17.640 --> 00:31:20.200
<v Speaker 5>think ads are a lot like that right now. They've

632
00:31:20.200 --> 00:31:23.039
<v Speaker 5>got a whole different set of circumstances that they have

633
00:31:23.079 --> 00:31:27.160
<v Speaker 5>to deal with every day. And so I think it

634
00:31:27.200 --> 00:31:29.920
<v Speaker 5>should be a fun year and a challenging year and

635
00:31:30.200 --> 00:31:31.119
<v Speaker 5>looking forward to it.

636
00:31:31.319 --> 00:31:33.279
<v Speaker 2>Bear with me with this question, because you opened the

637
00:31:33.319 --> 00:31:35.039
<v Speaker 2>door that I was talking what you were talking about yesterday.

638
00:31:36.319 --> 00:31:38.440
<v Speaker 2>Schools are in trouble financially. I don't need to tell

639
00:31:38.480 --> 00:31:42.599
<v Speaker 2>you that because you know, and in various ways, I

640
00:31:42.640 --> 00:31:45.240
<v Speaker 2>guess yesterday or two days ago, Alabama just paid their

641
00:31:45.359 --> 00:31:48.599
<v Speaker 2>GM of football eight and twenty five thousand dollars a

642
00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:51.839
<v Speaker 2>year for three years. And I guess that's the way

643
00:31:51.920 --> 00:31:55.200
<v Speaker 2>the world in football, gms and recruiting coordinators getting all

644
00:31:55.200 --> 00:31:57.559
<v Speaker 2>this money. I'm thinking, what in the world back in

645
00:31:57.640 --> 00:32:00.720
<v Speaker 2>our day when we covered teams like you Dick told

646
00:32:00.759 --> 00:32:03.640
<v Speaker 2>Me's know that gms that work didn't exist. It was

647
00:32:03.920 --> 00:32:06.759
<v Speaker 2>it was they were out working. They had multiple positions,

648
00:32:06.839 --> 00:32:09.119
<v Speaker 2>multiple jobs. And I'm thinking, this is the reason why

649
00:32:09.160 --> 00:32:12.000
<v Speaker 2>you guys or colleges are in trouble financially. They got

650
00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:14.279
<v Speaker 2>all these titles with five people when one guy used

651
00:32:14.319 --> 00:32:14.880
<v Speaker 2>to be the guy.

652
00:32:16.000 --> 00:32:18.920
<v Speaker 5>Well, I think that the deregulation has caused a lot

653
00:32:18.960 --> 00:32:21.279
<v Speaker 5>of this, and so you have a whole different set

654
00:32:21.279 --> 00:32:23.720
<v Speaker 5>of circumstances that you have to deal with. And so

655
00:32:23.759 --> 00:32:26.640
<v Speaker 5>I think right now people are trying to think outside

656
00:32:26.680 --> 00:32:29.279
<v Speaker 5>the box and find ways that they can they can

657
00:32:29.319 --> 00:32:32.559
<v Speaker 5>deal with the you know, the the d NIL situation

658
00:32:32.839 --> 00:32:36.720
<v Speaker 5>and paying players and you know transferport. I mean, I

659
00:32:36.759 --> 00:32:39.240
<v Speaker 5>didn't have to worry about re recruiting kids every year,

660
00:32:39.279 --> 00:32:42.680
<v Speaker 5>and now we have to. So it's just a completely

661
00:32:42.720 --> 00:32:45.640
<v Speaker 5>different world out there right now. And I'm not saying

662
00:32:45.680 --> 00:32:48.599
<v Speaker 5>it's a bad world. But I'm saying that, I'm I'm

663
00:32:48.640 --> 00:32:50.200
<v Speaker 5>kind of glad I got out of it when I did,

664
00:32:50.240 --> 00:32:51.799
<v Speaker 5>because it's not what I signed up for.

665
00:32:52.000 --> 00:32:53.920
<v Speaker 2>No, we talk about that with you and Dave, all

666
00:32:53.960 --> 00:32:55.920
<v Speaker 2>these guys in Andy who got out right in time.

667
00:32:56.319 --> 00:32:58.319
<v Speaker 2>But you were in that spot for I don't know,

668
00:32:58.400 --> 00:33:01.000
<v Speaker 2>a couple of months, two three months. Did it feel

669
00:33:01.000 --> 00:33:03.160
<v Speaker 2>comfortable or you should get me that hell out of here?

670
00:33:05.440 --> 00:33:10.440
<v Speaker 5>Well, every day felt like a month. But no, it's

671
00:33:10.640 --> 00:33:16.759
<v Speaker 5>it's you know, the challenges are there, and it's just

672
00:33:16.839 --> 00:33:19.759
<v Speaker 5>like anything else, you know, I mean, the game's changed

673
00:33:20.039 --> 00:33:21.839
<v Speaker 5>right now. You look at all the analytics that are

674
00:33:21.839 --> 00:33:24.640
<v Speaker 5>being used right now in the game, and so you

675
00:33:24.960 --> 00:33:27.079
<v Speaker 5>either have to make a decision whether you're going to

676
00:33:27.119 --> 00:33:29.240
<v Speaker 5>play the game at that level or you're going to

677
00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:32.559
<v Speaker 5>fall behind. And I kind of look at it like golf.

678
00:33:32.599 --> 00:33:34.480
<v Speaker 5>You know, you either play with good equipment or you

679
00:33:34.480 --> 00:33:38.240
<v Speaker 5>get beat by good equipment. And I think the same

680
00:33:38.279 --> 00:33:40.839
<v Speaker 5>thing here. You know, you're just trying to find ways

681
00:33:40.880 --> 00:33:46.799
<v Speaker 5>to make sure you're taking care of the present situation

682
00:33:46.960 --> 00:33:49.960
<v Speaker 5>that you're in and and and then also be able

683
00:33:49.960 --> 00:33:52.720
<v Speaker 5>to compete at the higher levels. And it's it's a

684
00:33:52.839 --> 00:33:56.119
<v Speaker 5>challenge right now. It's I don't think that there's any

685
00:33:56.200 --> 00:33:58.480
<v Speaker 5>clear cut answers right now. I think every school is

686
00:33:58.480 --> 00:34:01.119
<v Speaker 5>a little bit different how they're dealing with it. But

687
00:34:01.240 --> 00:34:03.119
<v Speaker 5>at the end of the day, it's still about the

688
00:34:03.160 --> 00:34:05.720
<v Speaker 5>student athlete. It's about giving them a great experience and

689
00:34:08.079 --> 00:34:10.119
<v Speaker 5>then competing for championships.

690
00:34:10.519 --> 00:34:12.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's tough. One of our last question for me

691
00:34:13.119 --> 00:34:15.199
<v Speaker 2>because I asked these questions of all the coaches. So,

692
00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:17.840
<v Speaker 2>you have a talented group of players, you had a

693
00:34:17.880 --> 00:34:20.119
<v Speaker 2>number of them, obviously, you are who you are in

694
00:34:20.159 --> 00:34:24.639
<v Speaker 2>the softball world. What's more important if you can distinguish

695
00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:28.760
<v Speaker 2>a great players or very good coach? I mean, what's

696
00:34:28.800 --> 00:34:29.400
<v Speaker 2>more important?

697
00:34:31.159 --> 00:34:32.920
<v Speaker 5>Well, I think they go hand in hand. I think

698
00:34:32.920 --> 00:34:35.199
<v Speaker 5>you have to have great players. I mean, that's going

699
00:34:35.280 --> 00:34:40.679
<v Speaker 5>to be the foundation of any success, is having talent,

700
00:34:41.599 --> 00:34:44.119
<v Speaker 5>and so I think that's the number one to me.

701
00:34:44.320 --> 00:34:47.880
<v Speaker 5>And then I think coaches. You know, great coaches can

702
00:34:50.079 --> 00:34:55.880
<v Speaker 5>develop a culture of excellence and hold people accountable. And

703
00:34:56.000 --> 00:34:59.880
<v Speaker 5>so if you have great players that aren't held accountable,

704
00:35:00.039 --> 00:35:03.000
<v Speaker 5>you're not going to be very good. Yeah, But if

705
00:35:03.039 --> 00:35:06.039
<v Speaker 5>you have good players that will hold each other accountable

706
00:35:06.039 --> 00:35:09.960
<v Speaker 5>and and coaches that can set a clear expectation and

707
00:35:10.039 --> 00:35:13.599
<v Speaker 5>vision of what they want. I think that's why some

708
00:35:13.639 --> 00:35:15.000
<v Speaker 5>people win and some people don't.

709
00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:18.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. No, I think that's a great explanation. Okay, Mike,

710
00:35:18.239 --> 00:35:20.519
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate you all the time, of course, thank you,

711
00:35:21.000 --> 00:35:23.800
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, man, appreciate you, Mike Candrea, Hall of Fame,

712
00:35:23.840 --> 00:35:28.199
<v Speaker 2>SOCTOCAP coach. Yeah no, I thought the explanation because if

713
00:35:28.199 --> 00:35:31.079
<v Speaker 2>you don't have you could have great players. But if

714
00:35:31.079 --> 00:35:33.880
<v Speaker 2>they're not on the same page, and we've seen that,

715
00:35:33.920 --> 00:35:35.679
<v Speaker 2>we've seen that great players, what the hell's wrong with

716
00:35:35.679 --> 00:35:38.199
<v Speaker 2>this team? We don't know until later that they don't

717
00:35:38.280 --> 00:35:40.760
<v Speaker 2>like you to find out right, right, right? So okay,

718
00:35:40.880 --> 00:35:42.039
<v Speaker 2>let's take off and come back.

719
00:35:42.079 --> 00:35:42.400
<v Speaker 4>All right.

720
00:35:42.639 --> 00:35:44.840
<v Speaker 2>If you're an Arizona men's basketball fan, you know it's

721
00:35:44.880 --> 00:35:47.719
<v Speaker 2>been successful for nearly forty years. Now, take a look

722
00:35:47.719 --> 00:35:50.239
<v Speaker 2>back at the Ludolsen era. In my new book, Lessons

723
00:35:50.239 --> 00:35:51.800
<v Speaker 2>from Loot, it was a labor of love through the

724
00:35:51.880 --> 00:35:54.760
<v Speaker 2>eyes of twenty five former players, coaches, and friends to

725
00:35:54.880 --> 00:35:57.239
<v Speaker 2>give insight to the coach and the man who led them,

726
00:35:57.440 --> 00:36:00.840
<v Speaker 2>competed against them, and inspired them five for his twenty

727
00:36:00.840 --> 00:36:04.320
<v Speaker 2>five years as Arizona's beloved coach. Lessons from Loot is

728
00:36:04.320 --> 00:36:06.679
<v Speaker 2>an insight to how he built the program into a

729
00:36:06.760 --> 00:36:10.920
<v Speaker 2>national powerhouse. What one email me at Steve dot RIVERA

<v Speaker 2>What do you have, Jay?

782
00:38:41.960 --> 00:38:46.320
<v Speaker 4>Well, an interesting thing just came across CBS Sports did

783
00:38:46.360 --> 00:38:54.599
<v Speaker 4>a poll of one hundred college coaches. Are the college coaches? Seconds?

784
00:38:55.559 --> 00:38:58.280
<v Speaker 4>A poll of a of one hundred Division one man's

785
00:38:58.320 --> 00:39:07.480
<v Speaker 4>basketball coaches asking which schools have the best nil programs? Okay,

786
00:39:08.079 --> 00:39:12.440
<v Speaker 4>they listed according to this graphic, they listed eighteen schools.

787
00:39:14.119 --> 00:39:16.480
<v Speaker 4>First of all, the obvious question is where do you

788
00:39:16.480 --> 00:39:20.960
<v Speaker 4>think Arizona fel and the answer is not in the

789
00:39:20.960 --> 00:39:21.599
<v Speaker 4>top eighteen.

790
00:39:22.039 --> 00:39:26.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that doesn't surprise me, Jay, given who we've talked

791
00:39:26.039 --> 00:39:31.360
<v Speaker 2>to and kind of the people that I know. But

792
00:39:31.360 --> 00:39:35.639
<v Speaker 2>but you know what too, Tommy, Tommy, and he's gone

793
00:39:35.639 --> 00:39:37.480
<v Speaker 2>on the record a number of times. I guess what

794
00:39:37.519 --> 00:39:40.039
<v Speaker 2>else is he gonna say he doesn't want the kids.

795
00:39:40.320 --> 00:39:42.840
<v Speaker 2>He wants the kids. He wants Arizona to stand on

796
00:39:42.880 --> 00:39:45.039
<v Speaker 2>its own, right. If you're coming here, you want to

797
00:39:45.039 --> 00:39:46.039
<v Speaker 2>play basketball.

798
00:39:45.760 --> 00:39:47.199
<v Speaker 4>To be you want to be at Arizona.

799
00:39:47.199 --> 00:39:49.280
<v Speaker 2>I want to be at Arizona. Not because of the money, correct,

800
00:39:49.719 --> 00:39:51.960
<v Speaker 2>and that he've said that a number of times. We're

801
00:39:52.000 --> 00:39:54.480
<v Speaker 2>going to give you some scratch, but not a lot.

802
00:39:54.559 --> 00:39:58.039
<v Speaker 2>We don't expect a lot. But this is the pathway

803
00:39:58.320 --> 00:39:59.800
<v Speaker 2>to be making more money.

804
00:39:59.559 --> 00:40:01.800
<v Speaker 4>Down the and you think about you got to think

805
00:40:01.840 --> 00:40:02.679
<v Speaker 4>about that, right.

806
00:40:02.639 --> 00:40:05.880
<v Speaker 2>Right, And and maybe that's why he can will get

807
00:40:06.119 --> 00:40:09.079
<v Speaker 2>concrusion them in the future. But you're depending a lot

808
00:40:09.079 --> 00:40:12.280
<v Speaker 2>on that blockade man. Yeah, and the history of the program.

809
00:40:13.199 --> 00:40:17.000
<v Speaker 4>Again, with this still more or less in its infancy,

810
00:40:17.000 --> 00:40:20.239
<v Speaker 4>it's going to be interesting to see what what does

811
00:40:20.280 --> 00:40:22.679
<v Speaker 4>become important to players, you know, And there are gonna

812
00:40:22.679 --> 00:40:24.599
<v Speaker 4>be players who think it's about the money. You know,

813
00:40:24.800 --> 00:40:27.760
<v Speaker 4>Lumar Balo went to Indiana for what they say, a

814
00:40:27.800 --> 00:40:31.440
<v Speaker 4>million dollar dollars, right right, you know we heard that,

815
00:40:31.559 --> 00:40:34.800
<v Speaker 4>Caleb Love and and and and Keishad Johnson, we're getting

816
00:40:34.800 --> 00:40:37.599
<v Speaker 4>four hundred grand each. Where did that money come from?

817
00:40:37.719 --> 00:40:40.119
<v Speaker 4>So it's it's gonna be interesting to see. All right,

818
00:40:40.159 --> 00:40:41.679
<v Speaker 4>I'll give you a I'll give you a doll I'll

819
00:40:41.679 --> 00:40:43.760
<v Speaker 4>give you five dollars if you can guess the number

820
00:40:43.760 --> 00:40:46.800
<v Speaker 4>one team, and I'll just tie right now. That's not

821
00:40:47.880 --> 00:40:51.000
<v Speaker 4>a blue blood. It's not a not a blue blood.

822
00:40:51.360 --> 00:40:53.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, I got I have one more because I took

823
00:40:53.920 --> 00:40:56.840
<v Speaker 2>two guesses, right, I came up not Kansas, Okay, not Cansas,

824
00:40:56.880 --> 00:41:00.719
<v Speaker 2>because you know what was the other one? I said?

825
00:41:01.159 --> 00:41:05.079
<v Speaker 2>Kansas Indiana Indiana. That's five. Okay, So here's my here's

826
00:41:05.079 --> 00:41:07.199
<v Speaker 2>my next and only obvious choice. And I haven't looked.

827
00:41:07.239 --> 00:41:10.159
<v Speaker 2>I haven't looked only because I'm saying this because they

828
00:41:10.280 --> 00:41:14.639
<v Speaker 2>spent a ton of money in other sports. Texas seventeen,

829
00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:18.400
<v Speaker 2>they're seventeen. Yes, wow, that takes a priority. They must

830
00:41:18.400 --> 00:41:21.239
<v Speaker 2>be spending a ton of money in football football. I don't.

831
00:41:21.239 --> 00:41:22.159
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't have a clue.

832
00:41:22.199 --> 00:41:26.800
<v Speaker 4>Then I'll say it's an SEC team. Kentucky, No, Kentucky's

833
00:41:26.800 --> 00:41:32.480
<v Speaker 4>four Holy Arkansas Arkansas my obviously because of Patina, yeah

834
00:41:32.519 --> 00:41:33.960
<v Speaker 4>with uh.

835
00:41:33.360 --> 00:41:36.400
<v Speaker 6>With with you know, and then they've gotten Patina, Walmart,

836
00:41:36.519 --> 00:41:40.639
<v Speaker 6>not Potato Calif they've got Walmart over there, actually have

837
00:41:40.679 --> 00:41:45.280
<v Speaker 6>waited Arkansas number Arkansas number one, Kansas number two.

838
00:41:45.800 --> 00:41:48.880
<v Speaker 4>Number three is going to shock you too. Not a

839
00:41:48.920 --> 00:41:52.159
<v Speaker 4>power for school? Oh wait they are now, they now

840
00:41:52.239 --> 00:41:57.119
<v Speaker 4>are a power for school. Tell me why you really?

841
00:41:57.320 --> 00:42:02.079
<v Speaker 2>Yes, really, those rich Mormons over there and they're getting good.

842
00:42:02.199 --> 00:42:05.119
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and you got Kentucky and you and Iowa.

843
00:42:05.920 --> 00:42:07.840
<v Speaker 2>But they have a new coach. I'm not Iowa Illinois

844
00:42:07.840 --> 00:42:10.559
<v Speaker 2>because the coach went from BUYU to Kentucky.

845
00:42:11.440 --> 00:42:12.639
<v Speaker 4>Mark Pope, Yep, yep.

846
00:42:13.639 --> 00:42:14.159
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

847
00:42:14.360 --> 00:42:14.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

848
00:42:15.039 --> 00:42:18.800
<v Speaker 2>Well let's see if it equates into national titles. Cali

849
00:42:18.880 --> 00:42:21.880
<v Speaker 2>party to me, I've seen this one thousand times. He's

850
00:42:21.960 --> 00:42:23.440
<v Speaker 2>overrated as a college basketball coach.

851
00:42:23.480 --> 00:42:23.760
<v Speaker 4>Wow.

852
00:42:24.639 --> 00:42:26.320
<v Speaker 2>But but he can.

853
00:42:27.039 --> 00:42:30.559
<v Speaker 4>Do and if the money's gonna buy players, you know, players,

854
00:42:30.559 --> 00:42:32.480
<v Speaker 4>don't see what he can do with that. He's Look,

855
00:42:32.559 --> 00:42:35.599
<v Speaker 4>he was already getting the best players at Kentucky. How

856
00:42:35.719 --> 00:42:40.360
<v Speaker 4>is that going to change what he accomplishes at Arkansas? Right,

857
00:42:41.039 --> 00:42:44.519
<v Speaker 4>because it's not like he again, yeah, I mean he

858
00:42:44.559 --> 00:42:46.480
<v Speaker 4>had the best players pretty much on the court every

859
00:42:46.519 --> 00:42:50.760
<v Speaker 4>time he played so well, Okay, all right, and the

860
00:42:50.840 --> 00:42:52.679
<v Speaker 4>Rezonta's not in the top Arizona's not in the top

861
00:42:52.719 --> 00:42:53.000
<v Speaker 4>eight team.

862
00:42:53.079 --> 00:42:53.440
<v Speaker 2>What do you think?

863
00:42:53.480 --> 00:42:53.559
<v Speaker 5>Now?

864
00:42:53.599 --> 00:42:56.400
<v Speaker 4>They did get they did they did get some votes. Okay,

865
00:42:56.480 --> 00:42:57.559
<v Speaker 4>but they're not on the top eighteen.

866
00:42:58.159 --> 00:42:58.920
<v Speaker 2>This is who's voting.

867
00:42:59.000 --> 00:43:01.119
<v Speaker 4>The coaching coaches, one hundred Division one coaches.

868
00:43:01.840 --> 00:43:03.239
<v Speaker 2>And now would they know, I don't know.

869
00:43:03.719 --> 00:43:05.920
<v Speaker 4>How would they know from what they hear from other

870
00:43:05.960 --> 00:43:07.079
<v Speaker 4>players and stuff like why do.

871
00:43:07.079 --> 00:43:10.880
<v Speaker 2>You think that Arizona doesn't It's probably just.

872
00:43:10.840 --> 00:43:15.679
<v Speaker 4>About how much money the program has, right, So, I

873
00:43:15.719 --> 00:43:15.960
<v Speaker 4>don't know.

874
00:43:16.159 --> 00:43:19.639
<v Speaker 2>And the people who follow them, the people who follow them,

875
00:43:20.519 --> 00:43:22.800
<v Speaker 2>what are the things that we've had. We've had the

876
00:43:23.480 --> 00:43:26.000
<v Speaker 2>the nil guys. They're no longer with them, Adam and

877
00:43:27.000 --> 00:43:31.199
<v Speaker 2>Lazarus than those guys. Uh and and I've we promoted them.

878
00:43:31.239 --> 00:43:33.599
<v Speaker 2>I've seen them come in and join them. And the

879
00:43:33.760 --> 00:43:35.719
<v Speaker 2>one thing that that I heard the most or heard

880
00:43:35.760 --> 00:43:38.960
<v Speaker 2>the most from the guys or the people, where does

881
00:43:39.000 --> 00:43:39.400
<v Speaker 2>the money go?

882
00:43:40.239 --> 00:43:40.280
<v Speaker 1>So?

883
00:43:40.320 --> 00:43:42.199
<v Speaker 2>Where where's the money go? So if you have a

884
00:43:42.320 --> 00:43:44.280
<v Speaker 2>question about that, guess what you're not going to do.

885
00:43:44.840 --> 00:43:47.280
<v Speaker 2>You're not going to give any money. Give a hundred bucks.

886
00:43:47.559 --> 00:43:51.199
<v Speaker 2>If the city gave a hundred bucks each, whatever, they'll

887
00:43:51.239 --> 00:43:54.440
<v Speaker 2>be in the top eighteen. But the question is, okay,

888
00:43:55.039 --> 00:43:56.039
<v Speaker 2>how are they using that money?

889
00:43:56.639 --> 00:43:58.440
<v Speaker 4>And people saying, well, I don't want to pay players.

890
00:43:58.480 --> 00:44:00.280
<v Speaker 4>I want to, I want to, I want I want

891
00:44:00.320 --> 00:44:03.280
<v Speaker 4>this to go to facilities and arenas and stuff. I

892
00:44:03.320 --> 00:44:06.000
<v Speaker 4>don't know. Yeah, yeah, well I don't want to give

893
00:44:06.000 --> 00:44:08.239
<v Speaker 4>this kid, you know, who's gonna come here for six

894
00:44:08.360 --> 00:44:11.760
<v Speaker 4>months and take our money and go somewhere else rent

895
00:44:11.760 --> 00:44:16.719
<v Speaker 4>to player, right, Okay, the next five, just start guessing.

896
00:44:16.880 --> 00:44:18.159
<v Speaker 4>Who do you think could be in the next five?

897
00:44:18.480 --> 00:44:21.079
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Man, uh Texas?

898
00:44:21.320 --> 00:44:25.519

931
00:46:00.519 --> 00:46:03.639
<v Speaker 4>to see how this settles and how much to find

937
00:46:15.559 --> 00:46:17.800
<v Speaker 2>They have to compete. They have to find players. I

<v Speaker 2>Man, if you already got thirteen out of the way, eleven, twelve, okay,

949
00:46:44.960 --> 00:46:47.239
<v Speaker 2>and and and then too, they're they're they're saying, we're

<v Speaker 4>Op ten? Because they have money, love lay have money.

955
00:46:58.599 --> 00:47:02.440
<v Speaker 2>Why don't you think we're It's there's sonny that I

956
00:47:02.639 --> 00:47:07.119
<v Speaker 2>wrote a while back that former athletes, suppcially hear are

957
00:47:07.199 --> 00:47:10.599
<v Speaker 2>notorious for not giving back their money to the programs.

958
00:47:10.800 --> 00:47:14.320
<v Speaker 2>Richard Jefferson did, Jim Purick, Taz and Steve Kerr obviously,

959
00:47:14.639 --> 00:47:17.679
<v Speaker 2>but historically they make a ton of money, but they

960
00:47:17.719 --> 00:47:18.519
<v Speaker 2>don't give it back to.

961
00:47:18.519 --> 00:47:21.760
<v Speaker 4>The It's in the review mirror, man, it's in the

962
00:47:21.840 --> 00:47:24.239
<v Speaker 4>review mirror. They're they're doing they're doing other things with

963
00:47:24.320 --> 00:47:27.880
<v Speaker 4>their money. And too often they don't think about how

964
00:47:28.360 --> 00:47:29.039
<v Speaker 4>they got there.

965
00:47:29.000 --> 00:47:31.079
<v Speaker 2>How they got there, and it's notorious. I mean, I

966
00:47:31.119 --> 00:47:31.920
<v Speaker 2>mean not just here.

967
00:47:32.400 --> 00:47:34.440
<v Speaker 4>You know, how much money did Mike Bibby make and

968
00:47:34.519 --> 00:47:36.559
<v Speaker 4>have we heard of him giving a bunch of No

969
00:47:37.480 --> 00:47:39.039
<v Speaker 4>who else made it has made a bunch of money?

970
00:47:39.199 --> 00:47:41.760
<v Speaker 2>Uh, well they've made that's what you know.

971
00:47:42.360 --> 00:47:44.559
<v Speaker 4>We're les different, Well different did the gym.

972
00:47:44.480 --> 00:47:48.039
<v Speaker 2>But damon, damon, Right, they may do it in other ways.

973
00:47:47.960 --> 00:47:50.039
<v Speaker 4>And maybe they do, you know, and maybe they find

974
00:47:50.079 --> 00:47:53.400
<v Speaker 4>ways to help it. That that that was actually a

975
00:47:53.559 --> 00:47:58.880
<v Speaker 4>very big deal. I'm gonna say, fifteen years ago talking

976
00:47:58.960 --> 00:48:03.639
<v Speaker 4>to you know in the gym liven good time, they

977
00:48:03.920 --> 00:48:07.039
<v Speaker 4>that that there was really like zero money coming from

978
00:48:07.480 --> 00:48:09.599
<v Speaker 4>from former athletes. And there were by that time there

979
00:48:09.599 --> 00:48:12.480
<v Speaker 4>were a lot of basketball players particularly we made a

980
00:48:12.519 --> 00:48:15.400
<v Speaker 4>lot of money in in in in the league, and

981
00:48:15.639 --> 00:48:17.719
<v Speaker 4>none of it was coming back to Arizona. Yeah, and

982
00:48:17.840 --> 00:48:22.320
<v Speaker 4>that's you know, he needed a guy like Jefferson, Jefferson

983
00:48:22.840 --> 00:48:26.000
<v Speaker 4>to do that to kind of get people triggered to

984
00:48:26.320 --> 00:48:28.199
<v Speaker 4>maybe maybe I should help.

985
00:48:28.360 --> 00:48:31.480
<v Speaker 2>I'll give you this. What about the in the shan era, right,

986
00:48:31.840 --> 00:48:33.599
<v Speaker 2>not very many even who would have done it, who

987
00:48:33.639 --> 00:48:36.159
<v Speaker 2>stayed here long enough to even feel like there were students.

988
00:48:36.280 --> 00:48:38.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean DeAndre Ayden isn't going to be given

989
00:48:38.400 --> 00:48:40.920
<v Speaker 4>any of his money there, wouldn't You wouldn't even hear long.

990
00:48:40.840 --> 00:48:44.239
<v Speaker 2>Enough to you know, Yeah, you know McConnell might, he's

991
00:48:44.280 --> 00:48:45.880
<v Speaker 2>got that kind of you can he's got the kind

992
00:48:45.880 --> 00:48:50.679
<v Speaker 2>of personality. Maybe Gordon, Aaron Gordon. Maybe I've Solomon Hill

993
00:48:50.760 --> 00:48:54.559
<v Speaker 2>lasts a long time. But it's hard. It's hard to say, Jay,

994
00:48:55.000 --> 00:48:56.880
<v Speaker 2>and it's to me, you and me, it would seem

995
00:48:57.239 --> 00:48:59.559
<v Speaker 2>like a no brainer. I made millions of millions, why

996
00:48:59.599 --> 00:49:01.199
<v Speaker 2>not to help you know, why not help it out?

997
00:49:01.360 --> 00:49:02.960
<v Speaker 2>And how long will that help? Though? I'll give you

998
00:49:02.960 --> 00:49:05.480
<v Speaker 2>one hundred thousand, but don't bother me after that?

999
00:49:06.239 --> 00:49:09.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, no, I yeah no, I mean that. And

1000
00:49:09.960 --> 00:49:12.199
<v Speaker 4>and look, I'm sure Arizona's not the only school dealing

1001
00:49:12.280 --> 00:49:14.559
<v Speaker 4>with that, right again, these guys get in there, they

1002
00:49:14.639 --> 00:49:17.719
<v Speaker 4>make and look, we all know, we all hear the

1003
00:49:17.800 --> 00:49:20.079
<v Speaker 4>stories that guys get in there and they start doing

1004
00:49:20.159 --> 00:49:22.079
<v Speaker 4>things with their money and then find out they don't

1005
00:49:22.119 --> 00:49:24.880
<v Speaker 4>have it anymore. So there's a there's always that as well.

1006
00:49:25.320 --> 00:49:27.679
<v Speaker 4>So you know, what what do you you know, what

1007
00:49:27.760 --> 00:49:30.199
<v Speaker 4>do you do? I when I opened up this graphic.

1008
00:49:30.320 --> 00:49:32.559
<v Speaker 4>I was surprised to see Arkansas number one. And then

1009
00:49:32.639 --> 00:49:36.440
<v Speaker 4>you mentioned you reminded me that John Calipari went over there,

1010
00:49:36.679 --> 00:49:41.239
<v Speaker 4>and that's probably part of it, right, is that he

1011
00:49:41.360 --> 00:49:44.039
<v Speaker 4>went over there, probably started generating a bunch of money

1012
00:49:44.039 --> 00:49:46.519
<v Speaker 4>immediately kind of promised, we're going to give you a

1013
00:49:46.559 --> 00:49:47.119
<v Speaker 4>bunch of money.

1014
00:49:47.199 --> 00:49:50.440
<v Speaker 2>So something they did that was not a no brainer.

1015
00:49:50.920 --> 00:49:52.960
<v Speaker 2>That was they did something that wasn't.

1016
00:49:52.840 --> 00:49:54.519
<v Speaker 4>In his contract that they're supposed to be able to

1017
00:49:54.599 --> 00:49:56.679
<v Speaker 4>raise X ton of money. Money.

1018
00:49:56.880 --> 00:50:01.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, uh utah there because the we have kids, cars

1019
00:50:01.480 --> 00:50:01.920
<v Speaker 2>and trunks.

1020
00:50:02.239 --> 00:50:04.840
<v Speaker 4>Here here, here's the list one one to eighteen. You

1021
00:50:04.920 --> 00:50:09.679
<v Speaker 4>got Arkansas, Kansas BYU, which again stuns me, Kentucky, Indiana,

1022
00:50:10.280 --> 00:50:19.039
<v Speaker 4>Kansas State, Baylor, Louisville, Alabama, Illinois, Texas Tech, Duke, Yukon,

1023
00:50:19.280 --> 00:50:26.360
<v Speaker 4>North Carolina, Tennessee, Memphis, Texas, and Ohio State. That's the list,

1024
00:50:27.719 --> 00:50:30.840
<v Speaker 4>and then I think I think they've got also also

1025
00:50:30.960 --> 00:50:34.840
<v Speaker 4>receiving votes. Oh wait, Saint John's comes in after Ohio State.

1026
00:50:35.320 --> 00:50:37.320
<v Speaker 4>And then it said other programs that received at least

1027
00:50:37.400 --> 00:50:43.599
<v Speaker 4>one vote Arizona, Florida, Georgetown, McNee State, Ole, miss Oregon, Villanova,

1028
00:50:43.719 --> 00:50:47.079
<v Speaker 4>Washington for basketball nil programs.

1029
00:50:47.320 --> 00:50:47.679
<v Speaker 2>Washington.

1030
00:50:48.039 --> 00:50:51.199
<v Speaker 4>It's interesting to see Washington in there. Yeah, Villanova won

1031
00:50:51.239 --> 00:50:53.679
<v Speaker 4>a bunch of national championships. You know.

1032
00:50:54.280 --> 00:50:56.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I saw one of the posts. I don't know

1033
00:50:56.000 --> 00:50:58.840
<v Speaker 2>if you saw college basketball on Twitter? Did the blue

1034
00:50:58.880 --> 00:51:02.119
<v Speaker 2>blood tang? Arizona's of course right after after the blue

1035
00:51:02.159 --> 00:51:05.760
<v Speaker 2>blood sits justin just because, just the reminder, just a reminder.

1036
00:51:05.880 --> 00:51:09.159
<v Speaker 2>You don't have to keep reminding, well, you forget stuff.

1037
00:51:09.199 --> 00:51:11.719
<v Speaker 4>I just want to bet you completely.

1038
00:51:11.960 --> 00:51:17.000
<v Speaker 2>This is your daily reminder that Arizona's not blue blood.

1039
00:51:17.440 --> 00:51:19.039
<v Speaker 2>They gotta win one. They gotta win one. I don't

1040

<v Speaker 2>want to talk give you five to one. I've got

1041
00:51:20.519 --> 00:51:21.840

<v Speaker 2>Maybe does, I don't know.

1044
00:51:27.639 --> 00:51:30.000
<v Speaker 4>And some of them may do it, and they anonymously

1045
00:51:30.480 --> 00:51:31.679
<v Speaker 4>they don't want other people coming.

1046
00:51:31.480 --> 00:51:34.440
<v Speaker 2>To correct correct. There's a lot like Jim Pure could

1047
00:51:34.639 --> 00:51:36.480
<v Speaker 2>did it, and I'm sure Damon helped in a way.

1048
00:51:37.400 --> 00:51:38.679
<v Speaker 2>I think he did it because he was under the

1049
00:51:38.760 --> 00:51:39.320
<v Speaker 2>radar as well.

1050
00:51:40.400 --> 00:51:43.559
<v Speaker 4>So no, yeah, and then we don't mean we don't

1051
00:51:43.599 --> 00:51:43.800
<v Speaker 4>mean to.

1052
00:51:44.920 --> 00:51:46.639
<v Speaker 2>I don't try to spend other people's money too.

1053
00:51:46.599 --> 00:51:49.440
<v Speaker 4>Well, and we're also trying to to, you know, generalize

1054
00:51:49.440 --> 00:51:52.119
<v Speaker 4>about athlete the athlete population.

1055
00:51:52.559 --> 00:51:55.039
<v Speaker 2>Sure, no, no, no, but it's it's it's it's it's historical,

1056
00:51:55.159 --> 00:51:58.119
<v Speaker 2>not just here, it's everywhere. They forget where they came from.

1057
00:51:58.519 --> 00:52:00.239
<v Speaker 2>You know, Hey, I don't know. Do you give to

1058
00:52:00.280 --> 00:52:01.360
<v Speaker 2>your school other than your.

1059
00:52:03.280 --> 00:52:03.320
<v Speaker 5>No?

1060
00:52:03.400 --> 00:52:04.199
<v Speaker 4>Because I don't have it.

1061
00:52:04.920 --> 00:52:06.679
<v Speaker 2>Okay, there's that. If I had it, I would I

1062
00:52:06.760 --> 00:52:09.079
<v Speaker 2>don't either. I don't either, and I don't even.

1063
00:52:08.920 --> 00:52:12.480
<v Speaker 4>Tell now we we cantually we make donations like the

1064
00:52:12.559 --> 00:52:14.920
<v Speaker 4>Journalists Department and stuff like that. Yeah, we do that,

1065
00:52:16.079 --> 00:52:18.639
<v Speaker 4>not tons of money, something just to say we do.

1066
00:52:19.079 --> 00:52:23.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but all that little helps. It's just the world

1067
00:52:23.519 --> 00:52:26.960
<v Speaker 2>we live in today. And like I agree with Kendre,

1068
00:52:27.519 --> 00:52:29.679
<v Speaker 2>he got out at the right time, he did, he did,

1069
00:52:30.559 --> 00:52:33.320
<v Speaker 2>but he's still helping. I'm surprised. Uh, well, you know,

1070
00:52:33.400 --> 00:52:35.280
<v Speaker 2>you don't get The landscape is different.

1071
00:52:35.119 --> 00:52:36.519
<v Speaker 4>Right for all these guys, So much of it, so

1072
00:52:36.639 --> 00:52:38.559
<v Speaker 4>much of being a coach is not about coaching anymore.

1073
00:52:38.880 --> 00:52:39.639
<v Speaker 4>And they hate that.

1074
00:52:40.199 --> 00:52:43.920
<v Speaker 2>No, so does Mike Stoops. Yeah or not the Mark Stoops.

1075
00:52:43.960 --> 00:52:46.559
<v Speaker 4>I'm sorry. Yeah, they hate that. Yeah, they just want

1076
00:52:46.599 --> 00:52:49.719
<v Speaker 4>to coach. And they and and and they They've lost

1077
00:52:49.760 --> 00:52:53.159
<v Speaker 4>a lot of the ability to just coach doesn't happen anymore.

1078
00:52:53.920 --> 00:52:56.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm still and I said this to you before. How

1079
00:52:56.320 --> 00:52:58.119
<v Speaker 2>do you coach a guy who's making half a mill,

1080
00:52:58.920 --> 00:53:02.519
<v Speaker 2>who doesn't doesn't need to be coached, at least in

1081
00:53:02.599 --> 00:53:06.800
<v Speaker 2>their mind. Yeah, you know, when your kids turned fifteen sixteen,

1082
00:53:06.880 --> 00:53:08.840
<v Speaker 2>you can't tell me what to do. I know everything.

1083
00:53:10.039 --> 00:53:11.920
<v Speaker 2>Not that that affected you or me, but you know

1084
00:53:11.920 --> 00:53:15.199
<v Speaker 2>what I'm saying, I'm generalizing that was a parent, but

1085
00:53:15.639 --> 00:53:16.800
<v Speaker 2>but is it true?

1086
00:53:17.480 --> 00:53:17.639
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

1087
00:53:17.679 --> 00:53:18.119
