12
00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:40.240
<v Speaker 3>I feel bad? Thanks for having me back. I think

13
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:41.880
<v Speaker 3>the last time I was here, you were just getting

14
00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:43.840
<v Speaker 3>ready to do the tour, and then it was a

15
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:46.320
<v Speaker 3>couple of holidays and some other stuff and I left.

16
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:48.640
<v Speaker 3>You have a basketball team I think was in the

17
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:51.399
<v Speaker 3>top ten. You have a football team, was getting ready

18
00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:54.759
<v Speaker 3>to beat ASU at home, and here I am back,

19
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:56.679
<v Speaker 3>and man, it is taking a turn.

20
00:00:57.200 --> 00:00:59.039
<v Speaker 2>I guess one of those could be true. There was

21
00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:01.119
<v Speaker 2>what it was in the top and I don't think

22
00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:02.280
<v Speaker 2>there was something that was ready to be there.

23
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:02.600
<v Speaker 4>No, no, no.

24
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:05.200
<v Speaker 3>We talked about it and we believed, we believed that

25
00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:07.920
<v Speaker 3>that was going to happen. Who do you mean we

26
00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:12.000
<v Speaker 3>me and Mon we believed.

27
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:15.000
<v Speaker 2>I believe for about I know the first drive, the

28
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:16.319
<v Speaker 2>first drive, and that was over.

29
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:18.719
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I had to turn it off.

30
00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:20.560
<v Speaker 5>I saw the way that we're warming up to, and

31
00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:24.319
<v Speaker 5>really I was just like, guys, you can see it, guys.

32
00:01:24.439 --> 00:01:25.640
<v Speaker 2>I said it before we do, both of you.

33
00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:25.959
<v Speaker 3>Guys.

34
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:27.560
<v Speaker 2>They just didn't want to finish. They didn't want to

35
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:29.680
<v Speaker 2>play this season. They didn't want to play for that coach.

36
00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:32.280
<v Speaker 2>That's for damn sure. Now, I think the validation for

37
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:36.359
<v Speaker 2>me saying that is everybody left hell with this. Well.

38
00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:38.519
<v Speaker 3>I know we're going to talk about it later, man,

39
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:41.079
<v Speaker 3>but I'm glad to man. Let's just get to the

40
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:44.359
<v Speaker 3>end of this year and start fresh, you know with uh,

41
00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:47.879
<v Speaker 3>you know, the the Big twelve games basketball, you know,

42
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:51.319
<v Speaker 3>maybe they can write the ship and NFL playoffs. Let's

43
00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:53.400
<v Speaker 3>get going. Let's let's let's get rid of this.

44
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:57.439
<v Speaker 2>First things. First, got to take care of the Bruins. Yeah, yeah,

45
00:01:57.840 --> 00:01:59.840
<v Speaker 2>I Don'm not I'm not too positive on that one.

46
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:02.359
<v Speaker 2>I think they could their tune half point favorites, which

47
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:04.519
<v Speaker 2>is kind of strange to me. It's it's a basket, right,

48
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:09.000
<v Speaker 2>But they they don't play well in that style. If

49
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:11.039
<v Speaker 2>you see how he continues to play the slow, slow,

50
00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:13.759
<v Speaker 2>wish down style, there's one that can't play that because

51
00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:15.439
<v Speaker 2>it's not good in the half court. It's never been

52
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:16.280
<v Speaker 2>good in the half court.

53
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:19.719
<v Speaker 3>Ever, it's it's not gonna happen. It's which which part

54
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:21.800
<v Speaker 3>playing playing well in a half court?

55
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:25.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Yeah, I mean at some point you got to say, Okay,

56
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:28.120
<v Speaker 2>we just suck at it, and even we could practice

57
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:30.599
<v Speaker 2>on it and they could do well in it. I'm

58
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:33.439
<v Speaker 2>not gonna say they're gonna lose yet, but guess who

59
00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:38.479
<v Speaker 2>has to show up. They're shooters. Otherwise good luck, because

60
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:40.439
<v Speaker 2>they ain't gonna pound the ball inside.

61
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:42.639
<v Speaker 3>They they haven't been. I've been trying to watch. I've

62
00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:44.680
<v Speaker 3>been watching them. They've been. They haven't even tried. I

63
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:47.479
<v Speaker 3>mean even the announcers are like, please get the ball inside.

64
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:50.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. The one thing too, is uh is previous has

65
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:54.919
<v Speaker 2>been kind of bad. I couldn't find the right word,

66
00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:57.680
<v Speaker 2>but bad, good enough, kind of bad. You know, he

67
00:02:57.719 --> 00:02:59.199
<v Speaker 2>hasn't been consistent, that's for sure.

68
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:01.960
<v Speaker 3>I know. I never're talking about later. I've been listening

69

<v Speaker 2>You are my targets? Yeah, older gentleman with nothing to do.

<v Speaker 3>I heard Ray Flores, I heard Tom Danahy on the interview.

74
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:19.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they've been fun. Yes, yeah, not because of me.

79
00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:32.360

00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:34.960
<v Speaker 2>you you know, this stuff, given that you were coaching

81
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:38.879

00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:43.520
<v Speaker 2>as well. I have no idea.

84
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:47.159
<v Speaker 3>It's a constant negotiation. You're constantly negotiating, and you're talking

85
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:50.719
<v Speaker 3>them into it. You're talking those kids. I got into it.

121
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:29.160
<v Speaker 3>twelve rounds in the NBA to two, and my friend

122
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:31.120
<v Speaker 3>and I we lamented the fact that we maybe we

123
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:32.839
<v Speaker 3>could have gone late in the twelfth round we were

124
00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:35.439
<v Speaker 3>tracked weird runners up was maybe they'll pick us up.

125
00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:38.240
<v Speaker 3>But now that there's only two rounds, so right, no

126
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:39.480
<v Speaker 3>transfer portal back then?

127
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:41.879
<v Speaker 2>Right, Well, everybody has high hopes. And then we're gonna

128
00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:46.639
<v Speaker 2>have a new we as in terms of we as

129
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:49.560
<v Speaker 2>in the city, not me because I'm not part of them,

130
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:51.759
<v Speaker 2>a new offensive coordinator. I don't know if you have

131
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:54.600

132
00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:56.839
<v Speaker 2>at four thirty, are they. Yeah, I'm not sure we

133
00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:58.720
<v Speaker 2>can do that live, but we'll talk more about it later.

134
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:02.120
<v Speaker 2>Pick I guess we'll have to talk about it right now.

135
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:04.600
<v Speaker 2>But they need help somehow.

00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:39.240
<v Speaker 3>and kids were excited about it. And I just I think,

151
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:41.959
<v Speaker 3>you gotta you gotta sell your program to eighteen or

152
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:42.399
<v Speaker 3>twenty one.

153
00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:46.040
<v Speaker 2>I hate that, not that I hate that. I must

154
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:48.519
<v Speaker 2>be old and just get off my lawn and don't

155
00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:51.160
<v Speaker 2>bother me, text me, don't call me blah blah blah.

156
00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:55.279
<v Speaker 2>Because we talked about that with a while back, Tim

157
00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:57.680
<v Speaker 2>that you know, the uniforms, this is what they're looking for,

158
00:06:57.720 --> 00:07:00.480
<v Speaker 2>the music, blah blah blah. And I'm thinking, just win

159
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:03.560
<v Speaker 2>because we talked about that with uniforms, right, I don't

160
00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:05.720
<v Speaker 2>care what you look like, just give me the w

161
00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:08.360
<v Speaker 2>do the eyon to look pretty good this year in

162
00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:11.160
<v Speaker 2>their uniforms? Real good? How do you play real bad?

163
00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:15.160
<v Speaker 2>They uniforms. Didn't give a crap. They oh they look

164
00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:16.920
<v Speaker 2>really good. They're getting beat by thirty.

165
00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:19.360
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god, I know, but I but I think

166
00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:21.800
<v Speaker 3>you do. That's so the new coaches and the new

167
00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:24.439
<v Speaker 3>looks and the new styles, I mean, and recruiting, you know,

168
00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:27.639
<v Speaker 3>almost recruiting your kids after every game. Yeah, you know,

169
00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:29.160
<v Speaker 3>is hyping them out.

170
00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:29.800
<v Speaker 2>I could not.

171
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:33.959
<v Speaker 3>Are you still coaching? I am not coaching high school sports.

172
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:35.959
<v Speaker 2>Oh that's kind of different though, Well, you.

173
00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:37.639
<v Speaker 3>Know, talking to fifteen year olds is a lot different.

174
00:07:37.639 --> 00:07:41.480
<v Speaker 2>There's still white eyed and they said yes, miss coach Bentley, Yes, yes,

175
00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:42.560
<v Speaker 2>whatever you need from me.

176
00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:46.160
<v Speaker 3>You would hope that they would do that. But you know,

177
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:48.519
<v Speaker 3>coaching high school kids, you know that have to be there.

178
00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:51.120
<v Speaker 3>They're going to school. There's repercussions if they don't go

179
00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:51.639
<v Speaker 3>to school.

180
00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:53.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh what do you mean by have to?

181
00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:55.040
<v Speaker 3>Well, you know they're in high school, so they you know,

182
00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:58.279
<v Speaker 3>they're trying to graduate high school. I don't have to obviously,

183
00:07:58.319 --> 00:07:59.519
<v Speaker 3>they don't have to be there, but you know, they

184
00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:01.000
<v Speaker 3>have to go to I have to take a test,

185
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:03.199
<v Speaker 3>and you know, and and and as a coach, I

186
00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:04.720
<v Speaker 3>used to I used to go and track on them

187
00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:07.439
<v Speaker 3>and do all those things. And in college, you know,

188
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:10.240
<v Speaker 3>these kids now are getting grown ups. Grown ups are

189
00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:12.000
<v Speaker 3>getting catered to. But you got to sell to them

190
00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:15.079
<v Speaker 3>because these defections that we're seeing, you know, they can

191
00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:17.040
<v Speaker 3>leave and it's yeah, you can put a good face

192
00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:18.519
<v Speaker 3>on it and say, well, if you don't want to

193
00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:20.639
<v Speaker 3>be here. But still, now he's got to go out

194
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:21.879
<v Speaker 3>and recruit a bunch of new kids.

195
00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:24.120
<v Speaker 2>Right right, Well, this is an issue that I think

196
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:26.879
<v Speaker 2>I've talked about before with Jay maybe and maybe you guys. Okay,

197
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:28.399
<v Speaker 2>so you give you a kid two hundred and fifty

198
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:33.080
<v Speaker 2>thousand dollars, okay, because he has his reputation and he

199
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:35.759
<v Speaker 2>isn't worth the money, you know, and you're thinking, what

200
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:37.720
<v Speaker 2>the hell I paid too much for this kid who's

201
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:40.600
<v Speaker 2>not doing what he's should be doing. I was going

202
00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:42.000
<v Speaker 2>to kind of relate it to you because in your

203
00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:45.080
<v Speaker 2>real world jobs, you've probably hired a person or two

204
00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:48.960
<v Speaker 2>that you said, hmm, maybe he doesn't it well.

205
00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:50.919
<v Speaker 3>Right, And that's when you go to your HR department

206
00:08:51.080 --> 00:08:52.960
<v Speaker 3>or you you you know, then there's then there's work

207
00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:55.480
<v Speaker 3>plans and thirty day work plan or ninety day work plans,

208
00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:58.200
<v Speaker 3>and then sixty day check ins and thirty day you

209
00:08:58.200 --> 00:08:58.720
<v Speaker 3>know warnings.

210
00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:00.720
<v Speaker 2>Don't you think that's party what's going to I think.

211
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:02.639
<v Speaker 3>That's what's coming. Is you're gonna sign a contract that's

212
00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:05.320
<v Speaker 3>either you know, it's it's gonna be you know, three

213
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:09.320
<v Speaker 3>three years, and there's there's benchmarks, and there's.

214
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:12.480
<v Speaker 2>If you if you don't do it nice knowing you right.

215
00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:14.600
<v Speaker 3>I mean they could do that with with scholarships in

216
00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:17.919
<v Speaker 3>the past, and so now with contracts, you know. But

217
00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:20.240
<v Speaker 3>I also think I think Josh Passner said something about

218
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:22.519
<v Speaker 3>it last time, is it's going to even things out

219
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:24.240
<v Speaker 3>a little bit. It won't be such a free for all.

220
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:27.120
<v Speaker 3>It'll give some give some stability to programs and stability

221
00:09:27.159 --> 00:09:27.679
<v Speaker 3>to coaches.

222
00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:29.639
<v Speaker 2>I don't know this. You might know this one, and

223
00:09:29.639 --> 00:09:31.879
<v Speaker 2>you might google this because I should know this. With

224
00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:34.679
<v Speaker 2>the the pay rep you know, the twenty two million

225
00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:38.080
<v Speaker 2>to twenty million that's on top of the nil is

226
00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:41.320
<v Speaker 2>that in addition to I believe this revenue share. I

227
00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:44.120
<v Speaker 2>think so okay, so they're gonna get money. So Tim

228
00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:48.120
<v Speaker 2>sim Benley's gonna get uh whatever it is, you know,

229
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:51.679
<v Speaker 2>to five hundred thousand dollars just for showing up. And

230
00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:53.840
<v Speaker 2>then on top of the any I nil you get

231
00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:56.240
<v Speaker 2>in yours only crap, Tim Bentley.

232
00:09:56.480 --> 00:09:57.840
<v Speaker 3>So it's gonna be rich.

233
00:09:57.919 --> 00:10:00.879
<v Speaker 5>Schools can share up to twenty two million manually with

234
00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:04.600
<v Speaker 5>their athletes, schools can choose how to distribute it, and

235
00:10:04.639 --> 00:10:07.559
<v Speaker 5>schools can also pay athletes directly for their use their

236
00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:08.279
<v Speaker 5>inn il use.

237
00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:11.639
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so on top of that, on top of that, man,

238
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:13.440
<v Speaker 2>what a time to be living in America.

239
00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:16.759
<v Speaker 3>I used to have to I've told you this. I

240
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:19.679
<v Speaker 3>used to get a three dollars per DM running college track,

241
00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:20.960
<v Speaker 3>and I had to sign for it that I wasn't

242
00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:21.559
<v Speaker 3>a professional.

243
00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:26.000
<v Speaker 2>Nineteen forty five, you got a two dollar bill.

244
00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:28.759
<v Speaker 3>I got a free pair of shoes, you know that

245
00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:30.000
<v Speaker 3>I would wear for the season.

246
00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:32.360
<v Speaker 2>And there were those small banana oh my.

247
00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:34.200
<v Speaker 3>God, they were.

248

<v Speaker 2>Those were Nikes. Who those banana thin thingies?

249
00:10:36.679 --> 00:10:38.799

00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:40.799
<v Speaker 3>we had a six shoes, we were sponsored by a six.

251
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:43.200
<v Speaker 3>And then sometimes if there was a really good runner,

252
00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:45.480
<v Speaker 3>you could get their shoes, you know, they'd be Nikes.

253
00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:49.519
<v Speaker 2>Not not the Fontaine.

254
00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:52.759

263
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:11.799
<v Speaker 3>three four years older than me. He was a great runner.

<v Speaker 2>Welcome back to join the ball here on Fox Sports

408
00:17:44.359 --> 00:17:46.480
<v Speaker 2>fourteen fifty. I'm Steve Rivera in the day with us

409
00:17:46.519 --> 00:17:48.839
<v Speaker 2>Tim Bentley now on the Pune. We have been bulched

410
00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:52.920
<v Speaker 2>from the La Times. Who covers UCLA men's basketball? Then?

411
00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:53.640
<v Speaker 2>How are you doing?

412
00:17:55.200 --> 00:17:59.559
<v Speaker 13>Just walking around lovely downtown Phoenix, enjoying the weather, and

413
00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:01.440
<v Speaker 13>I'll looking forward to a good game tomorrow.

414
00:18:01.960 --> 00:18:05.200
<v Speaker 2>Great. Yeah, no, great, you know you covered uh Mick

415
00:18:05.319 --> 00:18:08.279
<v Speaker 2>for a long time now, as long as he's been there. Uh,

416
00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:11.440
<v Speaker 2>it's mine, it's my observation. I should say you have

417
00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:16.440
<v Speaker 2>this good weird relationship with him because he's uh, prickly

418
00:18:16.559 --> 00:18:17.440
<v Speaker 2>but not really prickly.

419
00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:21.119
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, I think good is the right word. I wouldn't

420
00:18:21.119 --> 00:18:24.119
<v Speaker 13>say it was, you know, unusual in any way. I

421
00:18:24.119 --> 00:18:26.640
<v Speaker 13>would say that was more of a Chip Kelly relationship.

422
00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:30.079
<v Speaker 13>But yeah, no, we have a great relationship. I think

423
00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:32.759
<v Speaker 13>he's open and honest, and I feel like I give

424
00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:35.759
<v Speaker 13>them fair coverage and there's mutual respect going both ways.

425
00:18:35.799 --> 00:18:38.599
<v Speaker 13>And you know, obviously I think I think he's done

426
00:18:38.599 --> 00:18:42.359
<v Speaker 13>a tremendous job so far. And uh so, yeah, I

427
00:18:42.400 --> 00:18:44.920
<v Speaker 13>agree that, you know, it's a good situation for both

428
00:18:44.920 --> 00:18:45.319
<v Speaker 13>of us.

429
00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:49.119
<v Speaker 2>He's he's I think he's miss not misidentified, but miss.

430
00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:51.799
<v Speaker 2>This identifies my best word, I guess, because you know,

431
00:18:51.839 --> 00:18:54.440
<v Speaker 2>he looked cranky. I know fans here give him grief,

432
00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:57.240
<v Speaker 2>but he's he's at least in this. In the interviews

433
00:18:57.240 --> 00:18:59.279
<v Speaker 2>I've seen with you, you because you're with him all

434
00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:02.119
<v Speaker 2>the time, he's very like you see upfront and very

435
00:19:02.279 --> 00:19:04.200
<v Speaker 2>candid and tells some good stories.

436
00:19:05.599 --> 00:19:07.480
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, you know, I've been around a little while like

437
00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:10.920
<v Speaker 13>you haven't. I would say that he's probably the most

438
00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:14.880
<v Speaker 13>enjoyable coach I've ever covered. Just but he's so honest

439
00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:18.160
<v Speaker 13>and fourth right and accessible and you know, tells you

440
00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:21.319
<v Speaker 13>what he's thinking. And his team said played well and

441
00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:25.319
<v Speaker 13>had success. So you put that combination together, it's pretty

442
00:19:25.359 --> 00:19:27.640
<v Speaker 13>hard to top. So, yeah, you know, I've covered a

443
00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:30.039
<v Speaker 13>lot of beats, a lot of teams, pro college, high school.

444
00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:31.519
<v Speaker 13>I would I would put him at the very top

445
00:19:31.599 --> 00:19:33.519
<v Speaker 13>of the coaches I've covered.

446
00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:35.279
<v Speaker 2>I would never guess that, but good for you.

447
00:19:35.359 --> 00:19:38.599
<v Speaker 3>That's good. Hey Ben, this is Tim Bentley. I am

448

<v Speaker 3>on when you talk to him about the realignment of

450
00:19:43.839 --> 00:19:46.119
<v Speaker 3>the Big twelve, and he didn't sound happy. I mean,

451
00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:48.160
<v Speaker 3>tell me his mood when you were.

452
00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:50.920
<v Speaker 13>Talking about re alignment, about any conference, right. I don't

453
00:19:50.920 --> 00:19:53.279
<v Speaker 13>think he was talking about Big Twelve in particular, but

454
00:19:53.359 --> 00:19:55.880
<v Speaker 13>you know, I think he's echoing the sentiment of a

455
00:19:55.880 --> 00:19:58.440
<v Speaker 13>lot of people that this is you know, I don't

456
00:19:58.480 --> 00:20:01.319
<v Speaker 13>know if greed is the word, but he's athletic, departments

457
00:20:01.319 --> 00:20:05.000
<v Speaker 13>looking to kind of secure their futures. And uh, and

458
00:20:05.079 --> 00:20:07.680
<v Speaker 13>so there's gonna be some some fallout and people who

459
00:20:08.039 --> 00:20:11.160
<v Speaker 13>are not served the bestest part of this, and and

460
00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:14.160
<v Speaker 13>and you know the student uh athletes, which which actually

461
00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:15.480
<v Speaker 13>I think is a term we should get rid of.

462
00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:18.160
<v Speaker 13>But you know, the athletes are the people who are

463
00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:19.720
<v Speaker 13>going to suffer the most because they're going to do

464
00:20:19.839 --> 00:20:21.359
<v Speaker 13>all this travel and all this strain.

465
00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:24.400
<v Speaker 2>So he thinks that anybody who says that this is

466
00:20:24.400 --> 00:20:26.160
<v Speaker 2>a benefit for them is full of it.

467
00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:29.319
<v Speaker 13>So uh, and that goes for all conference re alignment.

468
00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:34.079
<v Speaker 2>You how did you deal with the first year with football? Oh?

469
00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:34.599
<v Speaker 2>It was great.

470
00:20:34.759 --> 00:20:37.119
<v Speaker 13>Uh, you know, I went to Northwestern University, so so

471
00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:39.079
<v Speaker 13>going back to the Big Ten, even though they didn't

472
00:20:39.079 --> 00:20:42.279
<v Speaker 13>play the Wild Cuts, uh kind of a return for me.

473
00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:45.799
<v Speaker 2>Uh, something I really kind of enjoyed to look forward to.

474
00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:48.480
<v Speaker 13>But you know, I'll be honest, I did miss uh,

475
00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:51.519
<v Speaker 13>you know, going up to play in Washington. I did

476
00:20:51.599 --> 00:20:53.880
<v Speaker 13>kind of cheer up a little bit because it's like, wow,

477
00:20:54.279 --> 00:20:56.400
<v Speaker 13>you know, all this history and tradition is going away,

478
00:20:56.440 --> 00:20:58.640
<v Speaker 13>and obviously Washington's still part of the Big Ten, but

479
00:20:59.160 --> 00:21:01.599
<v Speaker 13>you know, gonna miss some of these other schools, you know,

480
00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:04.079
<v Speaker 13>coming coming into Arizona and other places.

481
00:21:04.119 --> 00:21:08.079
<v Speaker 2>So it's a whole new world. Yeah, no question. Now

482
00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:11.359
<v Speaker 2>let's get to the big game tomorrow. I would relatively

483
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:12.880
<v Speaker 2>state it's a big game. I don't know what is

484
00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:15.160
<v Speaker 2>for Ucla, but it is for Arizona given the state

485
00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:17.519
<v Speaker 2>that they're in at four and four, and they can't

486
00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:21.279
<v Speaker 2>afford to lose many games moving forward because of the conference.

487
00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:23.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, no, I think it's equal.

488
00:21:24.000 --> 00:21:25.640
<v Speaker 2>I think it's equally big for UCLA.

489
00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:28.599
<v Speaker 13>I mean, obviously, you know, they they lost that first

490
00:21:28.920 --> 00:21:32.440
<v Speaker 13>big test against New Mexico and everybody completely put them

491
00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:33.079
<v Speaker 13>off the radar.

492
00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:34.920
<v Speaker 3>It took this win.

493
00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:37.519
<v Speaker 13>You know, they haven't really played a tough schedule like Arizona,

494
00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:40.200
<v Speaker 13>so it took beating Oregon at Orgon to kind of

495
00:21:40.519 --> 00:21:43.240
<v Speaker 13>remind everybody, hey, the Bruins are still here. They might

496
00:21:43.279 --> 00:21:46.039
<v Speaker 13>be pretty good, and obviously they want to keep that going.

497
00:21:46.119 --> 00:21:48.680
<v Speaker 13>So I think, you know, beating Arizona and what's you know,

498
00:21:48.759 --> 00:21:50.960
<v Speaker 13>more more so of a home game for them than

499
00:21:51.119 --> 00:21:53.839
<v Speaker 13>than the neutral site would be another step in the

500
00:21:53.880 --> 00:21:56.680
<v Speaker 13>right direction. In Ucla, they obviously want to get you know,

501
00:21:56.720 --> 00:21:58.279
<v Speaker 13>a top four seed in the West, and if they

502
00:21:58.279 --> 00:21:58.839
<v Speaker 13>want to do that.

503
00:21:58.920 --> 00:22:00.160
<v Speaker 2>This is one of the games they're going to need

504
00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:02.200
<v Speaker 2>to win if it was tim real quick. So with

505
00:22:02.319 --> 00:22:06.039
<v Speaker 2>your unbiased eye, are they a pretty good team?

506
00:22:06.599 --> 00:22:07.319
<v Speaker 3>I think they are.

507
00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:08.079
<v Speaker 2>I really do.

508
00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:10.720
<v Speaker 13>I think it's the deepest team coach Cornin has. I

509
00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:14.599
<v Speaker 13>think the two issues I see right now they need

510
00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:17.440
<v Speaker 13>a lot more out of the five position. They need

511
00:22:17.480 --> 00:22:20.319
<v Speaker 13>more development from a Daimarra and William call the third

512
00:22:20.359 --> 00:22:22.599
<v Speaker 13>because they've been playing Tyler Billadeau out of position at

513
00:22:22.599 --> 00:22:22.920
<v Speaker 13>the five.

514
00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:25.119
<v Speaker 2>I don't think they can do that all season.

515
00:22:25.759 --> 00:22:27.640
<v Speaker 13>And then the other thing is they need a couple

516
00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:31.880
<v Speaker 13>of guys to kind of step up more so to expectations.

517
00:22:31.960 --> 00:22:34.279
<v Speaker 13>The two guys I would say there are Kobe Johnson

518
00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:37.200
<v Speaker 13>from SC who has not lived up to the h

519
00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:39.720
<v Speaker 13>mccarnell was tunting him as a national defensive player that

520
00:22:39.759 --> 00:22:40.359
<v Speaker 13>you're candidate.

521
00:22:40.359 --> 00:22:41.319
<v Speaker 2>He hasn't really done that.

522
00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:45.519
<v Speaker 13>Uh. And then Sky Clark, who uh, you know mccronell

523
00:22:45.599 --> 00:22:49.000
<v Speaker 13>loves because he's been very active defensively and doesn't turn

524
00:22:49.000 --> 00:22:51.119
<v Speaker 13>over the ball, but he's not creating any sort of offense.

525
00:22:51.160 --> 00:22:54.640
<v Speaker 13>He's gone from leading Louisville scoring to averaging I think

526
00:22:54.680 --> 00:22:57.480
<v Speaker 13>around five points. So he needs to make some shots,

527
00:22:57.480 --> 00:23:00.160
<v Speaker 13>and if him and Kobe Johns can get going, I

528
00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:01.279
<v Speaker 13>think the Bruins will be tough to.

529
00:23:01.279 --> 00:23:06.359
<v Speaker 3>Be Yeah, yeah, I was just gonna ask it, you know,

530
00:23:06.519 --> 00:23:11.160
<v Speaker 3>coming into u of a packed twelve old rivalries. But

531
00:23:11.559 --> 00:23:14.160
<v Speaker 3>you know, what's the word on the street. You're talking

532
00:23:14.160 --> 00:23:16.319
<v Speaker 3>to the coach and the team, who on the U

533
00:23:16.319 --> 00:23:19.279
<v Speaker 3>of a roster gives us HeLa a headache in your mind?

534
00:23:19.960 --> 00:23:22.519
<v Speaker 13>Well, I mean, well, I'll never forget Caleb Love, right,

535
00:23:22.559 --> 00:23:25.160
<v Speaker 13>but more so for what he did in tar Hill, Jersey.

536
00:23:25.160 --> 00:23:27.200
<v Speaker 13>I mean, that was the most insane sequence of two

537
00:23:27.200 --> 00:23:30.160
<v Speaker 13>minutes I've ever seen in basketball where I don't know

538
00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:32.079
<v Speaker 13>if you guys watch this game, but in the twenty

539
00:23:32.160 --> 00:23:35.160
<v Speaker 13>twenty two and say tournament UCL He's up three and

540
00:23:35.240 --> 00:23:39.200
<v Speaker 13>playing fantastic. Caleb Love shoots a three, It misses, the

541
00:23:39.240 --> 00:23:42.279
<v Speaker 13>ball bounces within a half inch of going out of bounds.

542
00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:45.920
<v Speaker 13>Armando Baycott, the big man for the Tar Hills, saves

543
00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:48.640
<v Speaker 13>it over his shoulder back to Love hits a three,

544
00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:52.160
<v Speaker 13>hits another three, and that the tar Hills just roll

545
00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:55.920
<v Speaker 13>from there. So that sequence will never die in the

546
00:23:55.960 --> 00:23:56.759
<v Speaker 13>minds of the Bruins.

547
00:23:56.799 --> 00:23:58.640
<v Speaker 2>In fact, coach.

548
00:23:58.400 --> 00:24:01.079
<v Speaker 13>Coronin Asten this week also out as tough as losses.

549
00:24:01.119 --> 00:24:03.640
<v Speaker 13>He said that one and then the Gonzaga. You know

550
00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:06.039
<v Speaker 13>they they've actually had two buzzer beater against Gonzaga, but

551
00:24:06.079 --> 00:24:08.240
<v Speaker 13>that the one that was banked in from from here

552
00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:11.279
<v Speaker 13>half court. So, uh, you know, they're never gonna forget

553
00:24:11.279 --> 00:24:11.799
<v Speaker 13>Caleb Love.

554
00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:12.799
<v Speaker 2>I'll be interested to see.

555
00:24:12.799 --> 00:24:16.039
<v Speaker 13>I'm assuming it'll be Dylan Andrews with the defensive assignment tomorrow,

556
00:24:16.039 --> 00:24:17.279
<v Speaker 13>but you never can be sure.

557
00:24:17.599 --> 00:24:19.759
<v Speaker 2>The one thing that I that I think Arizona's going

558
00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:21.839
<v Speaker 2>to have trouble with, and then they've had trouble with

559
00:24:21.880 --> 00:24:24.720
<v Speaker 2>all year. They can't go and transition teams have not

560
00:24:24.799 --> 00:24:26.799
<v Speaker 2>allowed them to do what they do best or have

561
00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:29.519
<v Speaker 2>done in the past. They're getting back and you see

562
00:24:29.519 --> 00:24:32.680
<v Speaker 2>only was is a master at that uh through in

563
00:24:32.720 --> 00:24:35.079
<v Speaker 2>this game at least because they know to get back

564
00:24:35.200 --> 00:24:38.359
<v Speaker 2>for Arizona's transition. Do they still do that in terms

565
00:24:38.400 --> 00:24:40.400
<v Speaker 2>of do they trying to not milk the clock but

566
00:24:40.440 --> 00:24:44.440
<v Speaker 2>at least be more conservative with the time. Are you

567
00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:48.799
<v Speaker 2>talking offensively defensively? Well? Both they If this game's in

568
00:24:48.839 --> 00:24:50.519
<v Speaker 2>the sixties, Arizona's not going to win it.

569
00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:53.480
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, you know, the interesting thing that I'll be watching

570
00:24:53.519 --> 00:24:56.640
<v Speaker 13>tomorrow is UCLA has tried to do more pressure this year,

571
00:24:57.599 --> 00:24:59.720
<v Speaker 13>you know, some some full court and three quarters stuff,

572
00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:01.960
<v Speaker 13>and to be honest, I haven't been that impressed with it.

573
00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:05.240
<v Speaker 13>So to your point, Uh, you know, I I if

574
00:25:05.279 --> 00:25:07.039
<v Speaker 13>I was making I might rain back on that a

575
00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:09.720
<v Speaker 13>little bit and and you know, make sure you are

576
00:25:09.759 --> 00:25:12.200
<v Speaker 13>back in cause of transition, because they had some problems

577
00:25:12.200 --> 00:25:14.720
<v Speaker 13>in transitioning against Oregon, particularly late in the game that

578
00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:17.440
<v Speaker 13>almost cost them the game. So you know, maybe maybe

579
00:25:17.480 --> 00:25:19.079
<v Speaker 13>try a little bit early and see if you can

580
00:25:19.119 --> 00:25:21.319
<v Speaker 13>do something, and if it's not working, just pull back,

581
00:25:21.359 --> 00:25:23.000
<v Speaker 13>because I do think that's gonna be a key to

582
00:25:23.039 --> 00:25:23.319
<v Speaker 13>the game.

583
00:25:23.359 --> 00:25:26.400
<v Speaker 2>And he mentioned it as well. Yeah, let me ask

584
00:25:26.440 --> 00:25:29.000
<v Speaker 2>you to Uh. You and I have seen probably more

585
00:25:29.079 --> 00:25:31.359
<v Speaker 2>games with ucl in Arizona throughout the years.

586
00:25:31.720 --> 00:25:31.880
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

587
00:25:32.039 --> 00:25:33.960
<v Speaker 2>I think it's kind of comforting that they're going to

588
00:25:34.039 --> 00:25:36.440
<v Speaker 2>continue this. That kind of it is I'm trying to

589
00:25:36.440 --> 00:25:39.319
<v Speaker 2>be stupid with it. It's gonna it's nice to continuing

590
00:25:39.359 --> 00:25:42.400
<v Speaker 2>with it because it's obviously the best rivalry in the West.

591
00:25:43.240 --> 00:25:45.359
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, I'm gonna be seeing I'll be interested to see

592
00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:47.680
<v Speaker 13>what kind of the atmosphere it's gonna be tomorrow. Obviously

593
00:25:47.680 --> 00:25:50.759
<v Speaker 13>it's gonna be pro Arizona in a heavy way. But

594
00:25:51.440 --> 00:25:54.440
<v Speaker 13>you know, there was some concerns. I don't think Ucla

595
00:25:54.480 --> 00:25:56.880
<v Speaker 13>from the UCLA perspective, they wanted to contend to as

596
00:25:56.880 --> 00:25:59.160
<v Speaker 13>a home at home just because you know, so some

597
00:25:59.240 --> 00:26:02.519
<v Speaker 13>parents had some concerns about uh, you know, some harassment

598
00:26:02.519 --> 00:26:04.119
<v Speaker 13>that was going on there in recent years at the

599
00:26:04.200 --> 00:26:06.640
<v Speaker 13>Kale Center. So I was a little bit surprised they

600
00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:08.200
<v Speaker 13>did it this early. I did think that if they

601
00:26:08.200 --> 00:26:09.519
<v Speaker 13>were going to do it there were it would be

602
00:26:09.559 --> 00:26:11.519
<v Speaker 13>neutral sight. I think we talked about this last time

603
00:26:11.559 --> 00:26:14.799
<v Speaker 13>I came on. But kudos to both teams for getting

604
00:26:14.799 --> 00:26:17.359
<v Speaker 13>this done as quickly as they did. I do think

605
00:26:17.400 --> 00:26:20.160
<v Speaker 13>it will be fascinating seeing kind of surreal scene tomorrow

606
00:26:20.160 --> 00:26:22.200
<v Speaker 13>for them to be playing in Phoenix.

607
00:26:22.839 --> 00:26:25.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, should be no, should be fun and it should

608
00:26:25.480 --> 00:26:28.200
<v Speaker 3>be fun. I you know, I think that uh, to

609
00:26:28.240 --> 00:26:30.640
<v Speaker 3>do a service for the fans. I think that you Steve,

610
00:26:30.640 --> 00:26:32.799
<v Speaker 3>you're talking about the relationship and the and the rivalry

611
00:26:32.799 --> 00:26:35.720
<v Speaker 3>for years and years. Uh, this just super serves the

612
00:26:35.720 --> 00:26:38.640
<v Speaker 3>fans and super serves the players coming out of southern California.

613
00:26:39.519 --> 00:26:42.480
<v Speaker 3>And you mentioned parents being angry, but it also gives

614
00:26:42.519 --> 00:26:46.039
<v Speaker 3>parents an opportunity to come see their kids not too

615
00:26:46.039 --> 00:26:46.440
<v Speaker 3>far away.

616
00:26:47.720 --> 00:26:50.039
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, yeah, and they certainly need that. I mean, I'm

617
00:26:50.079 --> 00:26:54.240
<v Speaker 13>flying you know, Rutgers and and uh Penn State and

618
00:26:54.240 --> 00:26:56.440
<v Speaker 13>and all these crazy trips. So that's that's a great

619
00:26:56.480 --> 00:26:58.480
<v Speaker 13>point in fact, you know, most trips I'm connect, I'm

620
00:26:58.480 --> 00:27:00.519
<v Speaker 13>going to connect somewhere, so to get quick flight. The

621
00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:04.799
<v Speaker 13>Phoenix is a reminder of a of an easier, more

622
00:27:04.839 --> 00:27:05.880
<v Speaker 13>gentle time.

623
00:27:06.759 --> 00:27:09.519
<v Speaker 3>The good the buckle up. Man, it's gonna be a

624
00:27:09.519 --> 00:27:10.559
<v Speaker 3>lot different, right, I mean.

625
00:27:10.759 --> 00:27:13.240
<v Speaker 2>Right right, You're gonna age quickly. You and Bruce are

626
00:27:13.240 --> 00:27:16.039
<v Speaker 2>gonna age quickly here next the next few years here.

627
00:27:16.480 --> 00:27:19.759
<v Speaker 2>Good for you guys, though, uh you you? Is this

628
00:27:19.880 --> 00:27:23.519
<v Speaker 2>team capabable of going deep in the n c DOAA tournament.

629
00:27:23.599 --> 00:27:25.079
<v Speaker 2>They're gonna make it, obviously.

630
00:27:24.720 --> 00:27:28.960
<v Speaker 13>But yeah, you know, I I maybe oversold them a

631
00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:31.960
<v Speaker 13>little bit, uh before the season, I kind of said

632
00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:35.759
<v Speaker 13>somewhere in the final four Sweet sixteen window, I still

633
00:27:35.759 --> 00:27:36.799
<v Speaker 13>think that's possible.

634
00:27:36.839 --> 00:27:37.200
<v Speaker 2>I would.

635
00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:40.960
<v Speaker 13>I'm a little bit you know, I have a little

636
00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:44.039
<v Speaker 13>few more question marks than I did early in the year,

637
00:27:44.559 --> 00:27:46.279
<v Speaker 13>or so, I should say, goring into the year. I

638
00:27:46.559 --> 00:27:48.640
<v Speaker 13>do think they really got to get that five situation

639
00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:50.519
<v Speaker 13>ironed out I think that's gonna be the key and

640
00:27:50.640 --> 00:27:53.279
<v Speaker 13>Ked Dell. I haven't mentioned Dylan Andrews yet to you know,

641
00:27:53.400 --> 00:27:55.559
<v Speaker 13>hit that game winner against Oregon. But he needs to

642
00:27:55.599 --> 00:27:57.559
<v Speaker 13>be a lot more aggressive and looking for a shot

643
00:27:57.599 --> 00:27:59.079
<v Speaker 13>and be more of the player we saw in the

644
00:27:59.079 --> 00:28:01.759
<v Speaker 13>second half last year because he, to be honest, he

645
00:28:01.799 --> 00:28:03.519
<v Speaker 13>really hasn't been that player. So they need him to

646
00:28:03.559 --> 00:28:06.079
<v Speaker 13>re emerge. Get the five figured out, and I think

647
00:28:06.079 --> 00:28:06.880
<v Speaker 13>they're in good shape.

648
00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:09.759
<v Speaker 2>So what does this mean for a finish in the

649
00:28:09.759 --> 00:28:15.000
<v Speaker 2>Big Ten? What do you mean, like, could they finish

650
00:28:15.039 --> 00:28:16.920
<v Speaker 2>in the top three top four times? Oh?

651
00:28:16.960 --> 00:28:19.200
<v Speaker 13>Oh, I'm sorry, Yeah, I thought you meant what is

652
00:28:19.200 --> 00:28:19.880
<v Speaker 13>tomorrow's gamy?

653
00:28:21.559 --> 00:28:21.799
<v Speaker 6>Yeah?

654
00:28:21.960 --> 00:28:24.960
<v Speaker 13>No, you know, I know I expect them to absolutely

655
00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:27.799
<v Speaker 13>be in the top three in content for the Big ten.

656
00:28:28.160 --> 00:28:30.400
<v Speaker 13>The thing I'm interested to see, you know. I tweeted

657
00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:34.079
<v Speaker 13>this out a week or so ago. Obviously, Arizona has.

658
00:28:34.039 --> 00:28:36.839
<v Speaker 2>The passion of the PAC twelve, or of what used

659
00:28:36.839 --> 00:28:37.720
<v Speaker 2>to be the PAC twelve.

660
00:28:38.200 --> 00:28:41.240
<v Speaker 13>U c l A, Oregon, Washington, USC had the four

661
00:28:41.279 --> 00:28:45.319
<v Speaker 13>of the five worst attendances in the Big Ten so far.

662
00:28:45.359 --> 00:28:48.359
<v Speaker 13>I think Northwestern is the one that would make keeping

663
00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:51.359
<v Speaker 13>them from being four for four. But you know when

664
00:28:51.359 --> 00:28:54.200
<v Speaker 13>they're going on the road to places like Nebraska, Wisconsin.

665
00:28:54.279 --> 00:28:55.799
<v Speaker 3>These places are you.

666
00:28:55.680 --> 00:28:58.079
<v Speaker 13>Know, they have kind of similar passion areas. I don't

667
00:28:58.079 --> 00:29:01.039
<v Speaker 13>know these are sold out arenas. Let's be honest. The

668
00:29:01.039 --> 00:29:04.319
<v Speaker 13>PAC twelve outside of Arizona, Yeah, didn't really have.

669
00:29:04.319 --> 00:29:06.240
<v Speaker 3>That on a night in a night out basis right.

670
00:29:06.319 --> 00:29:08.799
<v Speaker 13>So I think that the road games are going to

671
00:29:08.839 --> 00:29:11.440
<v Speaker 13>be a lot harder uh than than you U c.

672
00:29:11.559 --> 00:29:13.119
<v Speaker 13>L A Is used to in the PAC twelve. So

673
00:29:13.519 --> 00:29:16.240
<v Speaker 13>I'll be interesting to see how they responded that. Uh,

674
00:29:16.279 --> 00:29:18.240
<v Speaker 13>you know, I think they're in their next their their

675
00:29:18.279 --> 00:29:21.440
<v Speaker 13>next big ten road game is at Nebraska, uh with

676
00:29:21.640 --> 00:29:23.920
<v Speaker 13>the player who was on us Tolay's roster last year

677
00:29:23.920 --> 00:29:26.480
<v Speaker 13>at Burke will your tunsil. So I'm interested to see,

678
00:29:27.079 --> 00:29:29.039
<v Speaker 13>uh they responded that, because I know that you know,

679
00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:30.319
<v Speaker 13>they fill up that place as well.

680
00:29:30.599 --> 00:29:32.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, of course, right, I think we're going to see

681
00:29:32.640 --> 00:29:34.440
<v Speaker 3>a lot of that. These you're playing against a kid

682
00:29:34.440 --> 00:29:37.119
<v Speaker 3>you played that was on your team last year, you know, yeah,

683
00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:39.839
<v Speaker 3>get transferred into the school, you know. But but do

684
00:29:39.880 --> 00:29:43.440
<v Speaker 3>you think that maybe you know, these tough games, you know,

685
00:29:43.599 --> 00:29:46.000
<v Speaker 3>early on, maybe they're they're closed. They lose a few

686
00:29:46.559 --> 00:29:48.680
<v Speaker 3>by a bucket or two that'll help them in the tournament.

687
00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:49.480
<v Speaker 3>Don't you think.

688
00:29:51.000 --> 00:29:54.640
<v Speaker 13>They refocuses then, because uh, you know, uh that you know,

689
00:29:54.880 --> 00:29:57.359
<v Speaker 13>usually I listen to New Mexico. Even though at the

690
00:29:57.440 --> 00:29:59.799
<v Speaker 13>time people were devastated, I think that was a great

691
00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:02.960
<v Speaker 13>focusing loss. They've been a completely different team since then.

692
00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:06.359
<v Speaker 13>They got their attention. All these transfers, realized they had

693
00:30:06.400 --> 00:30:08.519
<v Speaker 13>a lot of bad habits to break, got to play

694
00:30:08.599 --> 00:30:11.440
<v Speaker 13>mccronain defense, got to be intense from start to finish,

695
00:30:11.480 --> 00:30:13.640
<v Speaker 13>and they've they've really done that since they won all

696
00:30:13.720 --> 00:30:16.200
<v Speaker 13>seven games, So you know, they obviously want to keep

697
00:30:16.200 --> 00:30:18.920
<v Speaker 13>that going tomorrow. They cannot, you know, backsliding. It's a

698
00:30:19.079 --> 00:30:22.400
<v Speaker 13>very good Wildcats team that mccarnan says is absolutely a

699
00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:24.720
<v Speaker 13>top twenty five team. So I think they've got their

700
00:30:24.759 --> 00:30:26.640
<v Speaker 13>full attention and we'll see if they can keep it

701
00:30:26.680 --> 00:30:27.160
<v Speaker 13>going tomorrow.

702
00:30:27.359 --> 00:30:29.480
<v Speaker 2>Right, So you said second or third in the Big

703
00:30:29.519 --> 00:30:32.880
<v Speaker 2>Ten for Arizona. They were picked fourth or fifth. Now

704
00:30:32.920 --> 00:30:35.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't even know about that because they've struggled so much.

705
00:30:35.559 --> 00:30:37.519
<v Speaker 2>This is easily the worst defensive team I've seen in

706
00:30:37.559 --> 00:30:41.200
<v Speaker 2>a long time on a number of levels. The transition game.

707
00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:44.279
<v Speaker 2>We've already talked to the up and down of Cable,

708
00:30:44.319 --> 00:30:47.119
<v Speaker 2>the glove and the backcourt's been crazy. So give me

709
00:30:47.160 --> 00:30:50.200
<v Speaker 2>a quick prediction. I'm not leaning either way yet, but

710
00:30:50.279 --> 00:30:54.279
<v Speaker 2>I think in my mind UCLA has everything on their

711
00:30:54.359 --> 00:30:54.960
<v Speaker 2>side right now.

712
00:30:56.279 --> 00:30:58.680
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, you know, I'll give a prediction of the caveat.

713
00:30:58.759 --> 00:31:01.000
<v Speaker 13>I think that if you see it plays the brand

714
00:31:01.039 --> 00:31:03.640
<v Speaker 13>of basketball I did against Oregon, it wins this game

715
00:31:04.279 --> 00:31:06.359
<v Speaker 13>in the five to ten point range, but that there's

716
00:31:06.400 --> 00:31:08.680
<v Speaker 13>no given that that's going to happen, right, And obviously

717
00:31:09.200 --> 00:31:12.160
<v Speaker 13>as presents different challenges. Maybe Caleb Love will going a

718
00:31:12.200 --> 00:31:14.799
<v Speaker 13>heater and right, you know, six or seven threes. You

719
00:31:14.920 --> 00:31:17.440
<v Speaker 13>just never know, right, But I think, you know, if

720
00:31:17.440 --> 00:31:19.079
<v Speaker 13>if I had to look at it on paper right now.

721
00:31:19.119 --> 00:31:20.920
<v Speaker 2>Things are trending in UCLA's direction.

722
00:31:21.240 --> 00:31:23.519
<v Speaker 13>Obviously, Arizona's very is there probably gonna come in as

723
00:31:23.519 --> 00:31:24.319
<v Speaker 13>the hunk for your team.

724
00:31:24.559 --> 00:31:25.119
<v Speaker 3>They will have the.

725
00:31:25.119 --> 00:31:28.400
<v Speaker 13>Home court as well, and you can't under estimate that. So,

726
00:31:28.880 --> 00:31:30.440
<v Speaker 13>you know, you could kind of look at this as

727
00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:32.920
<v Speaker 13>a coin flip game. But I do think if you

728
00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:35.720
<v Speaker 13>say plays it's brand of defense that it's gotten to,

729
00:31:36.279 --> 00:31:38.880
<v Speaker 13>I think they, you know, could win this game.

730
00:31:39.039 --> 00:31:41.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Mike Cavitos, they have to play the best game

731
00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:43.559
<v Speaker 2>of the year so far through eight, we already know

732
00:31:43.599 --> 00:31:45.680
<v Speaker 2>they can be conecious. That's enough of that.

733
00:31:47.759 --> 00:31:50.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we have a lot of those games too. I

734
00:31:50.119 --> 00:31:51.559
<v Speaker 3>saw that on your schedule for sure.

735
00:31:51.720 --> 00:31:54.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Okay, then we'll see you up there tomorrow. Be safe,

736
00:31:54.599 --> 00:31:57.440
<v Speaker 2>have fun to Phoenix. You will so thank you so much.

737
00:31:57.480 --> 00:31:59.759
<v Speaker 3>Stick there great.

738
00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:01.400
<v Speaker 2>A dude's really good at what he does.

739
00:32:01.920 --> 00:32:02.519
<v Speaker 3>We have some time.

740
00:32:02.559 --> 00:32:04.400
<v Speaker 2>We got three or four minutes. What do you think?

741
00:32:05.119 --> 00:32:06.240
<v Speaker 3>Oh so, what's the phone number?

742
00:32:06.279 --> 00:32:07.920
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, we got we maybe take a call and

743
00:32:07.920 --> 00:32:09.799
<v Speaker 2>will help us out. We got about two minutes. We'll

00:32:09.839 --> 00:32:12.759

745
00:32:13.279 --> 00:32:13.759
<v Speaker 3>What do you think?

746
00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:15.359
<v Speaker 2>You know?

747
00:32:15.559 --> 00:32:18.920
<v Speaker 3>I my sense on Arizona is this is that you know,

748
00:32:19.559 --> 00:32:22.839
<v Speaker 3>I was other than Duke. You know that they're gonna

749
00:32:22.839 --> 00:32:24.400
<v Speaker 3>get up for big games. They're gonna this is gonna

750
00:32:24.400 --> 00:32:27.279
<v Speaker 3>be on TV, all the things. They're gonna get up.

751
00:32:27.319 --> 00:32:27.960
<v Speaker 3>These kids want to.

752
00:32:27.920 --> 00:32:31.680
<v Speaker 2>Play, but they they've they haven't passed that mistesk.

753
00:32:32.759 --> 00:32:36.079
<v Speaker 3>But I feel that's you don't even have a good sir.

754
00:32:38.880 --> 00:32:44.119
<v Speaker 3>I do, But I'm wearing a baggy sweater, so you can't. Man,

755
00:32:44.160 --> 00:32:47.839
<v Speaker 3>I hate you, you know, I I just have a

756
00:32:47.920 --> 00:32:49.759
<v Speaker 3>sense that they step it up. I just I think,

757
00:32:49.880 --> 00:32:51.240
<v Speaker 3>you know, isn't the homer in you?

758
00:32:52.039 --> 00:32:52.440
<v Speaker 14>Not really?

759
00:32:53.240 --> 00:32:56.480
<v Speaker 3>I went to Nau so I mean, come on, well,

760
00:32:56.519 --> 00:32:59.240
<v Speaker 3>we know what your bread's but true, So I think

761
00:32:59.279 --> 00:33:01.440
<v Speaker 3>they step it up a little bit. And he pointed

762
00:33:01.480 --> 00:33:04.400
<v Speaker 3>out Love is gonna is. I think he has to

763
00:33:04.400 --> 00:33:06.680
<v Speaker 3>show up. He wants wants to show up, but he

764
00:33:06.799 --> 00:33:08.960
<v Speaker 3>you know, he wants to show that. You know that

765
00:33:09.079 --> 00:33:11.279
<v Speaker 3>he rises up against them no matter when, if it's

766
00:33:11.319 --> 00:33:15.079
<v Speaker 3>North Carolina or here, he plays well against the good team.

767
00:33:15.160 --> 00:33:16.680
<v Speaker 2>Do you find his strains that he's not play well?

768
00:33:18.519 --> 00:33:18.839
<v Speaker 3>Caleb?

769
00:33:19.000 --> 00:33:20.680
<v Speaker 2>Do you find his strains that he's not playing well?

770
00:33:20.880 --> 00:33:20.920
<v Speaker 13>Not?

771
00:33:21.039 --> 00:33:25.319
<v Speaker 2>Really? What I did, I do find it. It's gonna

772
00:33:25.440 --> 00:33:26.519
<v Speaker 2>continued struggle right now.

773
00:33:27.039 --> 00:33:29.240
<v Speaker 5>I knew he was going to have games here and

774
00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:31.799
<v Speaker 5>there where he goes and does Cardio on the court,

775
00:33:32.880 --> 00:33:34.799
<v Speaker 5>but I didn't think it would be a continuous thing.

776
00:33:35.319 --> 00:33:37.880
<v Speaker 2>And it's been continuous. Yeah, I wasn't. I was in

777
00:33:38.279 --> 00:33:40.799
<v Speaker 2>what you being Cardio on the court. He's just out

778
00:33:40.839 --> 00:33:43.559
<v Speaker 2>there running. Even that. I mean, I think, did you

779
00:33:43.880 --> 00:33:46.400
<v Speaker 2>listen to the press comans yesterday with Tommy a little

780
00:33:46.440 --> 00:33:49.279
<v Speaker 2>bit kind of how he's He didn't say lazy, but

781
00:33:49.400 --> 00:33:52.240
<v Speaker 2>he's kind of like non committed to the defensive sides.

782
00:33:52.279 --> 00:33:54.160
<v Speaker 2>And he was I don't want to put words in

783
00:33:54.599 --> 00:33:56.799
<v Speaker 2>his mouth, but it was like that, you know, he's

784
00:33:56.799 --> 00:33:59.000
<v Speaker 2>got to be ready all time. He kind of maybe

785
00:33:59.119 --> 00:34:01.839
<v Speaker 2>takes plays off. Haven't we known that for a while.

786
00:34:02.319 --> 00:34:04.960
<v Speaker 2>He kind of has that lack of ambition or something.

787
00:34:04.960 --> 00:34:07.160
<v Speaker 5>And that's why I say it's not surprising, it's just

788
00:34:08.000 --> 00:34:08.679
<v Speaker 5>the continuation.

789
00:34:09.440 --> 00:34:12.719
<v Speaker 2>And I'm wondering. I'm wondering if that that little thing

790
00:34:12.800 --> 00:34:15.000
<v Speaker 2>that he talked about yesterday, with the ambition or even

791
00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:19.360
<v Speaker 2>the appearance of no desire, is what the NBA people

792
00:34:19.400 --> 00:34:22.639
<v Speaker 2>are telling him you and that's what's lacking because of

793
00:34:22.719 --> 00:34:24.960
<v Speaker 2>the group that he has. He's the worst of the

794
00:34:25.079 --> 00:34:28.920
<v Speaker 2>NBA potential, right, it's Briant and it's it's it's Jayden Bradley,

795
00:34:28.960 --> 00:34:31.800
<v Speaker 2>it's k J. Lewis, and where's love Well. He's eighty

796
00:34:31.840 --> 00:34:35.159
<v Speaker 2>fourth in the draft pick. This is the PAC ten player,

797
00:34:35.239 --> 00:34:38.280
<v Speaker 2>the PAC twelve Player of the Year, and a pretty

798
00:34:38.280 --> 00:34:40.519
<v Speaker 2>good player, but no one's talking about him. I wonder

799
00:34:40.559 --> 00:34:43.159
<v Speaker 2>if that has something to do with him not being engaged.

800
00:34:44.559 --> 00:34:45.400
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't think so.

801
00:34:45.800 --> 00:34:47.559
<v Speaker 5>I think he's so it's a little bit in just

802
00:34:47.840 --> 00:34:50.880
<v Speaker 5>an overall slump right now. But you go, you one

803
00:34:50.920 --> 00:34:52.639
<v Speaker 5>game of your hair, I'll go go with the next game.

804
00:34:52.880 --> 00:34:54.960
<v Speaker 5>Two games, well, I should probably look at film.

805
00:34:55.000 --> 00:34:55.519
<v Speaker 2>Three games.

806
00:34:55.920 --> 00:34:56.639
<v Speaker 3>Now it's in your head.

807
00:34:57.400 --> 00:34:59.559
<v Speaker 2>It's the Kyler Murray. You think I canna stop playing

808
00:34:59.639 --> 00:34:59.960
<v Speaker 2>video game?

809
00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:00.639
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, a little bit.

810
00:35:01.679 --> 00:35:06.719
<v Speaker 2>Read the playbook, no pit, some shots hit some shots,

811
00:35:06.719 --> 00:35:08.920
<v Speaker 2>And in fact, I asked, we're ready to go? Probably

812
00:35:09.199 --> 00:35:12.639
<v Speaker 2>I asked them mule Bach, maybe Rhino on this, and

813
00:35:12.960 --> 00:35:16.880
<v Speaker 2>they had varying answers. If as Arizona goes, so goes

814
00:35:16.960 --> 00:35:22.559
<v Speaker 2>Caleb or vice versa. Yeah, I think so that's trouble.

815
00:35:22.800 --> 00:35:25.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yes, I mean I I and I think and

816
00:35:25.440 --> 00:35:27.679
<v Speaker 3>I'm kind of hearing that that that Tommy's you know,

817
00:35:28.199 --> 00:35:29.239
<v Speaker 3>saying these things publicly.

818
00:35:29.800 --> 00:35:32.239
<v Speaker 2>That a little bit and well, wherever you're hearing that,

819
00:35:32.320 --> 00:35:34.159
<v Speaker 2>I want to talk to them because it's pretty accurate.

820
00:35:34.239 --> 00:35:36.360
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it's that's that's the plan. I mean, that's

821
00:35:36.400 --> 00:35:37.039
<v Speaker 3>that's what's coming.

822
00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:40.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, which makes sense. Yeah, Okay, I need your sources.

823
00:35:40.719 --> 00:35:43.760
<v Speaker 2>Give me some numbers. Hey, we're a journalist. We got

824
00:35:43.880 --> 00:35:48.800
<v Speaker 2>to check their sources. I'm I have checked and it

825
00:35:48.920 --> 00:35:52.599
<v Speaker 2>is okay, Tommy, get on, Tommy, can get them on

826
00:35:52.599 --> 00:35:52.880
<v Speaker 2>the phone.

827

830
00:36:00.000 --> 00:36:02.119

<v Speaker 2>Lessons from Loot, it was a labor of love through

832

<v Speaker 2>the eyes of twenty five former players, coaches and friends

833
00:36:06.920 --> 00:36:08.840
<v Speaker 2>to give insight to the coach and the man who

834
00:36:08.960 --> 00:36:11.760
<v Speaker 2>led them, competed against them, and inspired them. Twenty five

835
00:36:11.880 --> 00:36:14.840

00:38:51.880 --> 00:38:53.920
<v Speaker 2>talk to you guys. I don't know Tim. You might

895
00:38:54.039 --> 00:38:57.400
<v Speaker 2>know this because you're history in town. So we know

896
00:38:57.519 --> 00:39:00.880
<v Speaker 2>the situation with Brent right now right uh and the

897
00:39:01.000 --> 00:39:04.159
<v Speaker 2>condition that the programs in a lot of people freaking out. Yeah,

898
00:39:04.360 --> 00:39:07.000
<v Speaker 2>this guy's falling. Okay, So you've been in town for home.

899
00:39:07.679 --> 00:39:08.880
<v Speaker 3>I moved here when I was a kid in the

900
00:39:08.920 --> 00:39:10.840
<v Speaker 3>mid seventies. Okay, so you're well aware of the history.

901
00:39:11.920 --> 00:39:15.360
<v Speaker 2>Are we give me the debacle level of these and

902
00:39:15.440 --> 00:39:19.840
<v Speaker 2>give me the top debaccle in this time? Uh? Okay,

903
00:39:19.960 --> 00:39:26.679
<v Speaker 2>So we have a football football yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no,

904
00:39:26.880 --> 00:39:30.559
<v Speaker 2>And actually that's a good that'll be the Mendoza lot. Okay.

905
00:39:30.760 --> 00:39:34.239
<v Speaker 2>We got the Sling level, we have the Macovic level,

906
00:39:34.760 --> 00:39:37.800
<v Speaker 2>we have the we have the Stoops level. But that

907
00:39:37.960 --> 00:39:43.119
<v Speaker 2>was okay, step Tony Mason level and Bret Brendon level.

908
00:39:45.000 --> 00:39:47.440
<v Speaker 3>Well, it's it's on the verge of the Macovic level.

909
00:39:47.440 --> 00:39:49.400
<v Speaker 3>I mean it could go horribly.

910
00:39:49.280 --> 00:39:52.480
<v Speaker 2>Okay, But which is the which is let's go the worst?

911
00:39:52.599 --> 00:39:53.079
<v Speaker 3>Is the top?

912
00:39:53.679 --> 00:39:56.360
<v Speaker 2>Is that someone level? Which is the top? Which is

913
00:39:56.400 --> 00:39:59.920
<v Speaker 2>the top disaster? Which is the poseidon nack of it?

914
00:40:00.480 --> 00:40:01.679
<v Speaker 2>Really worse than something?

915
00:40:02.320 --> 00:40:05.039
<v Speaker 3>Well I was I was working at TV back then,

916
00:40:05.079 --> 00:40:08.239
<v Speaker 3>and I we got to we we did his shows

917
00:40:08.320 --> 00:40:11.039
<v Speaker 3>and all that stuff, and and I just it wasn't

918
00:40:11.079 --> 00:40:13.039
<v Speaker 3>the right fit. It was he had an eye on

919
00:40:13.119 --> 00:40:15.679
<v Speaker 3>TV the whole time, and he had just come from TV. Yeah,

920
00:40:15.840 --> 00:40:17.320
<v Speaker 3>and he had he didn't he didn't really want to

921
00:40:17.360 --> 00:40:19.039
<v Speaker 3>be here, you know, it was probably a little bit

922
00:40:19.039 --> 00:40:21.559
<v Speaker 3>of a payday and he was looking immediately looking back

923
00:40:21.760 --> 00:40:23.760
<v Speaker 3>to ESPN or wherever he was trying to get on.

924
00:40:25.519 --> 00:40:27.119
<v Speaker 3>But you know, someone you could probably make an argument

925
00:40:27.159 --> 00:40:29.360
<v Speaker 3>for both, but I think those are one in one. A. Oh,

926
00:40:29.440 --> 00:40:33.159
<v Speaker 3>you didn't mention Tony Mason night what was that nineteen seven,

927
00:40:33.400 --> 00:40:36.800
<v Speaker 3>seventy nine eighty one, right before Larry Smith came in?

928
00:40:37.320 --> 00:40:37.559
<v Speaker 6>Yeah?

929
00:40:39.480 --> 00:40:41.599
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean didn't he beat Notre Dame.

930
00:40:42.079 --> 00:40:44.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, But he's also put the team in probation.

931
00:40:45.039 --> 00:40:46.800
<v Speaker 3>I mean it's probation. I mean, come on the way

932
00:40:46.880 --> 00:40:49.960
<v Speaker 3>that you know you beat Notre Dame. Zen Dehos kicks

933
00:40:50.000 --> 00:40:53.239
<v Speaker 3>a field goal. Tony Mason then says, I got to

934
00:40:53.360 --> 00:40:55.679
<v Speaker 3>scoot on your own probation. Larry Smith comes in and

935
00:40:55.760 --> 00:40:57.920
<v Speaker 3>then it's then you know, Chuck Sy returns one hundreds

936
00:40:57.920 --> 00:40:59.639
<v Speaker 3>and shared thing and then we're back on it.

937
00:41:00.559 --> 00:41:03.039
<v Speaker 2>Excuse me, doctor, how's the surgery? It went really well.

938
00:41:03.119 --> 00:41:06.480
<v Speaker 2>How's the patient? Well, he passed away, Okay, but.

939
00:41:06.559 --> 00:41:07.480
<v Speaker 3>I did a really good job.

940
00:41:07.639 --> 00:41:11.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but I'm sure you've heard that joke. Yeah, the

941
00:41:11.639 --> 00:41:13.840
<v Speaker 2>surgery was fantastic, but he's still, you know, passed away.

942
00:41:14.360 --> 00:41:16.039
<v Speaker 2>What do you think the signor I know, you're just

943
00:41:16.119 --> 00:41:17.119
<v Speaker 2>a kid, you were never born.

944
00:41:18.559 --> 00:41:21.760
<v Speaker 5>It was rough to watch the someone eras just so

945
00:41:21.880 --> 00:41:25.519
<v Speaker 5>much hope going into it, the little front runner for

946
00:41:25.599 --> 00:41:29.639
<v Speaker 5>the Heisman Sports Illustrated cover and just from the first game.

947
00:41:30.639 --> 00:41:33.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm not even mentioning rich Rod Rich Rod, because that

948
00:41:33.159 --> 00:41:37.079
<v Speaker 2>was not a blip that point. I considered that to

949
00:41:37.159 --> 00:41:39.400
<v Speaker 2>be successful in my yeah, yeah, over yeah, just the

950
00:41:39.440 --> 00:41:41.519
<v Speaker 2>way it ended, it was just kind of strange. But

951
00:41:41.679 --> 00:41:42.679
<v Speaker 2>people don't want to remember it.

952
00:41:42.840 --> 00:41:44.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but I I remember when they hired him. It

953
00:41:45.639 --> 00:41:47.599
<v Speaker 3>felt like it was a big deal. Oh it was,

954
00:41:47.719 --> 00:41:49.440
<v Speaker 3>I mean where it was like all right, you as

955
00:41:49.480 --> 00:41:54.000
<v Speaker 3>ready to go name guy, right, and so that's you know,

956
00:41:54.039 --> 00:41:56.519
<v Speaker 3>if that's a debacle, is that it didn't didn't turn.

957
00:41:56.400 --> 00:41:59.079
<v Speaker 2>That you're talking Macavic is the worst one.

958
00:42:00.239 --> 00:42:02.039
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean just in terms of time, we think

959
00:42:02.079 --> 00:42:05.119
<v Speaker 3>this a public perception and the way that people felt

960
00:42:05.119 --> 00:42:08.519
<v Speaker 3>about the team at that time, you know, it could

961
00:42:08.559 --> 00:42:10.840
<v Speaker 3>have been great and just he just he didn't really

962
00:42:10.960 --> 00:42:11.960
<v Speaker 3>like Tucson.

963
00:42:12.239 --> 00:42:13.519
<v Speaker 2>No, no, he was better than Tucson.

964
00:42:13.599 --> 00:42:15.440
<v Speaker 3>You know, you didn't like it here, and I think

965
00:42:15.480 --> 00:42:18.440
<v Speaker 3>people realize that right away. So, you know, someone I

966
00:42:18.480 --> 00:42:20.960
<v Speaker 3>think maybe had intentions to you know.

967
00:42:22.280 --> 00:42:24.320
<v Speaker 2>All these those sources you talked about in the last hour,

968
00:42:24.440 --> 00:42:25.840
<v Speaker 2>they're going to tell you what the hell.

<v Speaker 2>we're people are saying this is this is me hard

997
00:43:42.679 --> 00:43:43.159
<v Speaker 2>to get out of.

998
00:43:44.599 --> 00:43:46.400
<v Speaker 3>Well, you know, none of those guys had this, you know,

999
00:43:46.599 --> 00:43:48.880
<v Speaker 3>level of talent leaving every year. I mean you could

1000
00:43:49.000 --> 00:43:52.280
<v Speaker 3>you could hopefully you know what, do you know you

1001
00:43:52.320 --> 00:43:54.119
<v Speaker 3>can tell people that you're, hey, we're building talent. You

1002
00:43:54.159 --> 00:43:55.760
<v Speaker 3>got to give my talent two or three years to

1003
00:43:56.280 --> 00:43:58.719
<v Speaker 3>hit and now he's got you know, you got to

1004
00:43:58.719 --> 00:44:01.360
<v Speaker 3>get my talent. You know, two or three games, don't

1005
00:44:01.559 --> 00:44:03.599
<v Speaker 3>don't screw it up, you know, two or three games,

1006
00:44:03.599 --> 00:44:05.599
<v Speaker 3>and then they start looking ahead and people are like,

1007
00:44:06.159 --> 00:44:08.480
<v Speaker 3>so I think, you know it's going to be tough

1008
00:44:08.519 --> 00:44:11.039
<v Speaker 3>for fans because you're gonna expect immediate results. You know,

1009
00:44:11.199 --> 00:44:14.920
<v Speaker 3>Colorado pivoted quickly, you know a s U. I mean

1010
00:44:15.000 --> 00:44:16.320
<v Speaker 3>it's like you look at you look an hour and

1011

00:44:22.159 --> 00:44:23.360
<v Speaker 3>Is that an a d Okay?

1016
00:44:23.480 --> 00:44:27.480
<v Speaker 2>So, so I got another text from from our partner

1017
00:44:28.840 --> 00:44:34.280
<v Speaker 2>because Jason, who's that Tim Bentley guy? Literally Smith beat

1018
00:44:34.360 --> 00:44:38.159
<v Speaker 2>Notre Dame. Mason was not a disaster because he just

1019
00:44:40.239 --> 00:44:43.960
<v Speaker 2>jay about that and Ben Lindsay was the ultimate be

1020
00:44:44.719 --> 00:44:45.679
<v Speaker 2>He doesn't count because he's not.

1021
00:44:46.119 --> 00:44:47.400
<v Speaker 3>You know, that's just you remove him.

1022
00:44:47.679 --> 00:44:50.239
<v Speaker 2>No, but he's I guess he's the guy that we're

1023
00:44:50.239 --> 00:44:52.840
<v Speaker 2>going to compare with everybody. Well, he didn't Ben Lindsay

1024
00:44:52.880 --> 00:44:55.400
<v Speaker 2>the football program exactly. You know, he could have been

1025
00:44:55.400 --> 00:45:02.679
<v Speaker 2>into a verb got got lindsayed, right, right, okay, we'll

1026
00:45:02.719 --> 00:45:08.559
<v Speaker 2>see you said who Yeah, you think, I mean, I

1027
00:45:08.599 --> 00:45:10.880
<v Speaker 2>don't know enough about the Mason Era because it was

1028
00:45:11.079 --> 00:45:12.960
<v Speaker 2>a bad part of in eighty two and they know that.

1029
00:45:13.079 --> 00:45:14.280
<v Speaker 2>And Jay says, not so much.

1030
00:45:14.800 --> 00:45:14.920
<v Speaker 13>Uh.

1031
00:45:15.360 --> 00:45:17.559
<v Speaker 2>Someone to me was just he didn't give a crap.

1032
00:45:17.719 --> 00:45:19.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean he was. He made seven and a half

1033
00:45:19.480 --> 00:45:22.199
<v Speaker 2>million dollars to say goodbye. They gave him that. Uh,

1034
00:45:22.280 --> 00:45:24.559
<v Speaker 2>and he's you know, he didn't care. And then you

1035
00:45:24.639 --> 00:45:27.840
<v Speaker 2>all know the backstory right of things going off the field.

1036

00:45:44.719 --> 00:45:45.239
<v Speaker 2>And that's fair.

1043
00:45:45.239 --> 00:45:47.880
<v Speaker 3>I think that's fair. Kind of depends on which air

1044
00:45:48.000 --> 00:45:48.880
<v Speaker 3>broke your heart the most.

1045
00:45:50.039 --> 00:45:53.639
<v Speaker 2>We've talked about the look look good, play good.

1046
00:45:53.800 --> 00:45:57.840
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, uh you can see that with someone. He looked

1047
00:45:58.000 --> 00:46:00.280
<v Speaker 5>a little bit. He didn't look the heart.

1048
00:46:00.880 --> 00:46:02.360
<v Speaker 1>No, no, no no.

1049
00:46:02.559 --> 00:46:07.440
<v Speaker 2>He was hobbled sleeves, sweatpants and walked. That was just

1050
00:46:07.519 --> 00:46:09.960
<v Speaker 2>because he was injured. But yeah, he didn't look the part.

1051
00:46:10.239 --> 00:46:13.360
<v Speaker 3>Did jet jet did jed?

1052
00:46:14.000 --> 00:46:16.519
<v Speaker 2>He was he was your high school across country coach

1053
00:46:17.079 --> 00:46:19.519
<v Speaker 2>that looked like that was on the side. He was tennis.

1054
00:46:19.559 --> 00:46:22.079
<v Speaker 2>He didn't look at the traditional No, he looked more

1055
00:46:22.159 --> 00:46:26.519
<v Speaker 2>than someone Okay, okay, And and what about Brendon, What

1056
00:46:26.760 --> 00:46:27.519
<v Speaker 2>give you that appearance?

1057
00:46:28.360 --> 00:46:31.039
<v Speaker 5>And there's a there's a lay factor that I have

1058
00:46:31.199 --> 00:46:35.320
<v Speaker 5>to you one of those math for you know, that's

1059
00:46:35.360 --> 00:46:39.079
<v Speaker 5>a more issue with the lay. It's just different. And

1060
00:46:39.159 --> 00:46:42.599
<v Speaker 5>when you're losing games and point back of it in

1061
00:46:42.639 --> 00:46:43.920
<v Speaker 5>his suits.

1062
00:46:44.320 --> 00:46:47.719
<v Speaker 3>And his suits and you know, and his radio his

1063
00:46:47.960 --> 00:46:51.880
<v Speaker 3>radio shows that he did and we partnered with him

1064
00:46:51.920 --> 00:46:54.159
<v Speaker 3>on Channel nine, and he just he didn't like us

1065
00:46:54.800 --> 00:46:55.119
<v Speaker 3>at all.

1066
00:46:56.239 --> 00:46:58.559
<v Speaker 2>He had already gone beyond this. It was beneathid well,

1067
00:46:58.599 --> 00:47:00.920
<v Speaker 2>look at look at the people said this morning with

1068
00:47:01.679 --> 00:47:05.719
<v Speaker 2>Belichick that the job is beneath him. But he's there

1069
00:47:05.800 --> 00:47:07.840
<v Speaker 2>and he's going to do the job. But when you're

1070
00:47:07.920 --> 00:47:11.639
<v Speaker 2>the eight time Super Bowl champ, right, what are you doing?

1071
00:47:11.880 --> 00:47:14.199
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I have no criticism. Hey, you take the job.

1072
00:47:14.559 --> 00:47:16.440
<v Speaker 2>More power to you. With some people this morning say

1073
00:47:16.719 --> 00:47:20.639
<v Speaker 2>it's been easy. Why are you doing that? Compete people

1074
00:47:20.679 --> 00:47:21.719
<v Speaker 2>who compete, guess what they do.

1075
00:47:22.199 --> 00:47:24.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think he wants to coach. I think he

1076
00:47:24.039 --> 00:47:25.639
<v Speaker 3>wants to show that he could do it on all levels.

1077
00:47:25.639 --> 00:47:27.920
<v Speaker 3>You know, some of those most successful coaches you know,

1078
00:47:28.000 --> 00:47:30.440
<v Speaker 3>had success at all levels. You know, people say, well,

1079
00:47:30.480 --> 00:47:32.760
<v Speaker 3>he's not a Jimmy Johnson. Jimmy Johnson won in college

1080
00:47:32.840 --> 00:47:34.800
<v Speaker 3>and and the pros, you know, and a few of

1081
00:47:34.840 --> 00:47:37.119
<v Speaker 3>those people. So maybe he wants to do that, you know.

1082
00:47:37.239 --> 00:47:39.239
<v Speaker 3>Also here, maybe wants to set his kid up. You know,

1083
00:47:39.320 --> 00:47:41.199
<v Speaker 3>he wants to see well, I think that's that's part

1084
00:47:41.239 --> 00:47:43.000
<v Speaker 3>of it, you know, and he wants to do that.

1085
00:47:43.159 --> 00:47:46.400
<v Speaker 3>Maybe you know, he's given North Carolina a little bit

1086
00:47:46.440 --> 00:47:49.440
<v Speaker 3>of you know, some publicity, get some high profile kids.

1087
00:47:49.960 --> 00:47:51.800
<v Speaker 3>You know, you can turn we just said it three

1088
00:47:51.840 --> 00:47:54.960
<v Speaker 3>minutes ago. You can turn a program around in a year. Yeah, now,

1089
00:47:55.079 --> 00:47:56.760
<v Speaker 3>And so maybe he hits it big for a couple

1090
00:47:56.760 --> 00:47:58.639
<v Speaker 3>of years and then says, hey, I showed you I

1091
00:47:58.679 --> 00:47:59.880
<v Speaker 3>could do it. That's it. That's it.

1092
00:48:00.280 --> 00:48:04.559
<v Speaker 2>Is gonna have his prescommence with the new acc here

1093
00:48:04.639 --> 00:48:06.480
<v Speaker 2>in about thirty five minutes. You'll talk about it on

1094
00:48:06.519 --> 00:48:11.800
<v Speaker 2>the other side. But what's the Mendoza line for Brandon

1095
00:48:11.880 --> 00:48:12.320
<v Speaker 2>next year?

1096
00:48:13.079 --> 00:48:13.360
<v Speaker 3>Okay?

1097
00:48:13.360 --> 00:48:15.480
<v Speaker 2>If you if you gave him a year, what are

1098
00:48:15.480 --> 00:48:18.840
<v Speaker 2>your hopes if Desrat gave him another year? Okay, you

1099
00:48:18.920 --> 00:48:20.360
<v Speaker 2>got to go what at.

1100
00:48:20.280 --> 00:48:25.760
<v Speaker 3>Least all right, Look, I mean we can get through

1101
00:48:25.800 --> 00:48:28.480
<v Speaker 3>a bad year and we'll rationalize it probably come March

1102
00:48:28.519 --> 00:48:31.440
<v Speaker 3>when spring football comes around. But what it's got to

1103
00:48:31.480 --> 00:48:33.480
<v Speaker 3>be like seven games? Right, it's got to be seven?

1104
00:48:33.519 --> 00:48:34.159
<v Speaker 2>Six or seven?

1105
00:48:34.360 --> 00:48:36.880
<v Speaker 3>I mean six six is? I mean everybody gets to

1106
00:48:37.000 --> 00:48:39.440
<v Speaker 3>six now, right? I mean kind of with the number

1107
00:48:39.440 --> 00:48:41.039
<v Speaker 3>of games you play. I mean, is it seven or

1108
00:48:41.159 --> 00:48:42.079
<v Speaker 3>eight games? Oh?

1109
00:48:42.239 --> 00:48:43.280
<v Speaker 2>God, that's good?

1110
00:48:43.440 --> 00:48:45.639
<v Speaker 3>Seven seven, I think is the line. I think you

1111
00:48:45.719 --> 00:48:48.400
<v Speaker 3>gotta say, if no, seven, what Seeler?

1112
00:48:48.840 --> 00:48:49.039
<v Speaker 11>Yeah?

1113
00:48:49.079 --> 00:48:50.440
<v Speaker 3>I mean what's it cost to buy you out?

1114
00:48:50.639 --> 00:48:51.119
<v Speaker 2>Eight million?

1115
00:48:51.199 --> 00:48:51.480
<v Speaker 5>Probably?

1116
00:48:52.400 --> 00:48:54.400
<v Speaker 2>I really don't know the number, but they couldn't have

1117
00:48:54.519 --> 00:48:57.280
<v Speaker 2>forty eleven? Yep? So what do you think?

1118
00:48:57.360 --> 00:48:57.559
<v Speaker 3>Same?

1119
00:48:58.039 --> 00:49:00.599
<v Speaker 2>The line for him? Yeah is should be six?

1120
00:49:01.480 --> 00:49:01.599
<v Speaker 14>Uh?

1121
00:49:02.039 --> 00:49:04.079
<v Speaker 5>Seven is kind of one of those seasons where you

1122
00:49:04.119 --> 00:49:06.840
<v Speaker 5>get like a surprise upset win but gets you to

1123
00:49:06.920 --> 00:49:09.840
<v Speaker 5>a better Bowl. But I don't think anyone should be

1124
00:49:09.880 --> 00:49:11.440
<v Speaker 5>complaining about a six and six season.

1125
00:49:11.679 --> 00:49:12.639
<v Speaker 2>No, not after this year.

1126
00:49:12.719 --> 00:49:14.960
<v Speaker 3>Now, not after this year. But I think you know,

1127
00:49:15.360 --> 00:49:18.920
<v Speaker 3>at seven years, cements him six, he's still on thin ice.

1128
00:49:19.360 --> 00:49:21.480
<v Speaker 2>You know. Yeah, and then well guess what you have

1129
00:49:21.559 --> 00:49:24.480
<v Speaker 2>to do too? You have to sell that stadium with

1130
00:49:24.920 --> 00:49:28.360
<v Speaker 2>with with that person. You know, I'm not gonna rage

1131
00:49:28.400 --> 00:49:30.039
<v Speaker 2>them because I don't want to rage them. It's not

1132
00:49:30.159 --> 00:49:32.920
<v Speaker 2>my job. But they have to they have to sell

1133
00:49:33.159 --> 00:49:36.039
<v Speaker 2>seats in that stadium. You don't have to make it interesting, right,

1134
00:49:36.159 --> 00:49:38.679
<v Speaker 2>So selling tickets, that's part of it. That well, that's

1135
00:49:38.719 --> 00:49:40.920
<v Speaker 2>a big part of it. Yeah, you know, I mean

1136
00:49:40.960 --> 00:49:42.679
<v Speaker 2>it's you know, they're paying on a lot of money.

1137
00:49:42.719 --> 00:49:44.679
<v Speaker 2>But you know, a big part of it is is

1138
00:49:44.800 --> 00:49:47.639
<v Speaker 2>the outside revenue, you know, but in the seats buying

1139
00:49:47.840 --> 00:49:50.000
<v Speaker 2>drinks and food. And part of the reason why she

1140
00:49:50.199 --> 00:49:52.400
<v Speaker 2>came here or was hired here at a million per

1141
00:49:53.239 --> 00:49:58.400
<v Speaker 2>was was to to to fix the financial problem, right,

1142
00:49:58.519 --> 00:50:00.440
<v Speaker 2>And that's part of it. Got the people in the

1143
00:50:00.480 --> 00:50:02.519
<v Speaker 2>seats gotta have the buy tickets kind of have you know,

1144
00:50:02.639 --> 00:50:06.760
<v Speaker 2>by by whatever concessions and uh, and that's all part

1145
00:50:06.800 --> 00:50:09.159
<v Speaker 2>of it. If you can't do it, Jim, good to

1165
00:50:55.000 --> 00:50:57.760
<v Speaker 3>I know, I know now, but I think you know

1166
00:51:00.079 --> 00:51:02.840
<v Speaker 3>that they're gonna give him three years, you know, I

1167
00:51:03.280 --> 00:51:06.159
<v Speaker 3>mean it's it's next year's banker break. Gotta win baby,

1168
00:51:06.320 --> 00:51:08.400
<v Speaker 3>next year break. If you have another down here, they're

1169
00:51:08.400 --> 00:51:10.920
<v Speaker 3>gonna say you're out. So if it's six or seven,

1170
00:51:11.599 --> 00:51:13.840
<v Speaker 3>that's I think that's the number. It's you know, it's

1171
00:51:13.960 --> 00:51:15.920
<v Speaker 3>that's it's over under six and a half.

1172
00:51:16.480 --> 00:51:20.039
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I think it's six, and it just should be six.

1173
00:51:21.039 --> 00:51:23.639
<v Speaker 5>I was just I was going off topic thinking ahead

1174
00:51:23.679 --> 00:51:26.239
<v Speaker 5>to next season. You know they're gonna go to West

1175
00:51:26.320 --> 00:51:30.360
<v Speaker 5>Virginia to Rich Rodriguez. Oh, he's gonna love He's bad,

1176
00:51:30.719 --> 00:51:33.320
<v Speaker 5>just the way he's gonna love that game. If that

1177
00:51:33.519 --> 00:51:34.199
<v Speaker 5>turns ugly.

1178
00:51:34.840 --> 00:51:35.360
<v Speaker 14>You know.

1179
00:51:37.159 --> 00:51:37.960
<v Speaker 2>That's gonna turn out.

1180
00:51:38.880 --> 00:51:39.079
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

1181
00:51:39.320 --> 00:51:41.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's gonna say it's the Dave he key game.

1182
00:51:43.119 --> 00:51:45.639
<v Speaker 3>Dave, you gonna go out.

1183
00:51:45.559 --> 00:51:48.039
<v Speaker 2>There and do the coin toss. Yeah, And everybody even

1184
00:51:48.119 --> 00:51:52.719
<v Speaker 2>now speculates what would have been had he kept the job.

1185
00:51:52.880 --> 00:51:55.159
<v Speaker 2>You know, I still think about that. I know Ja

1186
00:51:55.679 --> 00:51:58.440
<v Speaker 2>jas because he thinks the world that he thinks he's

1187
00:51:58.480 --> 00:51:59.960
<v Speaker 2>a very good coach, and I don't disagree.

1188
00:52:00.400 --> 00:52:03.079
<v Speaker 3>I don't either. I think you know, it's easy to

1189
00:52:03.119 --> 00:52:05.000
<v Speaker 3>pull the trigger. You know, people, you know you're not

<v Speaker 2>two minutes, Okay.

1193
00:52:14.679 --> 00:52:17.559

1194
00:52:17.679 --> 00:52:20.440
<v Speaker 5>Khalil Tate his my front runner. You have a JJ

1195
00:52:20.639 --> 00:52:25.119
<v Speaker 5>Taylor who has experience under his belt now, but Sean Pointdexter.

1196
00:52:24.639 --> 00:52:29.599
<v Speaker 2>Who's I think I think up Khalil I think he's

1197
00:52:30.239 --> 00:52:33.440
<v Speaker 2>guilty of some of it too. Became a big head

1198
00:52:33.559 --> 00:52:37.920
<v Speaker 2>that the sportsual illustrated thing. He wanted to pass more,

1199
00:52:38.000 --> 00:52:41.719
<v Speaker 2>to show he could pass more. Someone went right with it,

1200
00:52:42.760 --> 00:52:46.639
<v Speaker 2>less running and he wasn't the passer he just wasn't

1201
00:52:46.679 --> 00:52:48.280
<v Speaker 2>They used it horribly and.

1202
00:52:48.960 --> 00:52:52.480
<v Speaker 3>You know, yeah, I felt bad. I mean, you you know, ultimately,

1203
00:52:52.719 --> 00:52:54.760
<v Speaker 3>you know, we can talk about and judge the team

1204
00:52:54.800 --> 00:52:57.440
<v Speaker 3>and everything, but I always try to remind myself these

1205
00:52:57.440 --> 00:52:59.440
<v Speaker 3>are twenty nineteen, twenty year old kids, and I root

1206
00:52:59.519 --> 00:53:02.519
<v Speaker 3>for them to succeed, you know, personally, I wish that

1207
00:53:02.599 --> 00:53:03.400
<v Speaker 3>they do.

1208
00:53:03.519 --> 00:53:07.400
<v Speaker 2>You do you root for them the same now than

1209
00:53:07.440 --> 00:53:10.360
<v Speaker 2>you did three years four years ago. I asked for

1210
00:53:10.639 --> 00:53:13.920
<v Speaker 2>a reason because the circumstance now, well, the circumstance down.

1211
00:53:14.000 --> 00:53:15.559
<v Speaker 2>They're making more than you en me together.

1212
00:53:15.679 --> 00:53:18.119
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and so I mean they're going to be held

1213
00:53:18.119 --> 00:53:20.039
<v Speaker 3>accountable a little bit more than would you.

1214
00:53:20.280 --> 00:53:22.760
<v Speaker 2>Would you hold them accountable more? Oh yeah, if you were,

1215
00:53:22.800 --> 00:53:24.679
<v Speaker 2>if you were me or somebody else right here.

1216
00:53:24.519 --> 00:53:26.639
<v Speaker 3>Making four or five hundred thousand dollars a year, you know,

<v Speaker 3>now now you're getting paid. Now there's performance. Now there's metrics,

1218
00:53:30.000 --> 00:53:32.960
<v Speaker 3>and you know, so it's I don't disagree. You know,

1219
00:53:33.039 --> 00:53:35.639
<v Speaker 3>you don't just have to meet these benchmarks or we're

1220
00:53:35.639 --> 00:53:37.599
<v Speaker 3>going to have to re evaluate. It's it's it's the

1221
00:53:37.679 --> 00:53:40.760
<v Speaker 3>pro mode. It's coming. I mean, it's it's it's here.

1222
00:53:40.840 --> 00:53:42.320
<v Speaker 3>It's just they got to refine it a little bit.

1223
00:53:42.400 --> 00:53:42.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's here.

1224
00:53:43.199 --> 00:53:45.880

1231
00:53:58.679 --> 00:54:01.360
