WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:02.799 Eighth five here Kentucky, Ada's Morning News with Nick Coffee 2 00:00:02.799 --> 00:00:07.440 on News Radio eight forty whas. So we will be 3 00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:10.039 talking coming up here at eight thirty with Rory O'Neil. 4 00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:13.000 We'll get the latest on the protesting that's going on 5 00:00:13.039 --> 00:00:16.239 really across the country. The attention has mostly been on 6 00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:18.519 what's happening in Los Angeles. They've had back to back 7 00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:22.359 nights with curfews, and obviously that seems to be helping 8 00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:26.320 things to an extent, but probably inconveniencing many that live 9 00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:28.480 in one of the biggest cities in the world, Los Angeles, 10 00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:30.480 but other cities Louisville is. 11 00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:32.520 Louisville. 12 00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:34.200 Louisville is a part of this, is what I was 13 00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:37.479 trying to say. They're prepared for these protests to continue, 14 00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:39.640 and obviously this weekend is going to be something that 15 00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:41.920 there's gonna be a lot of attention across the country 16 00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:44.920 as far as just keeping things peaceful as best they can. 17 00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:47.399 So we'll talk about that with Rory coming up here 18 00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:51.960 in about twenty five minutes. Also, something else that we 19 00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:53.520 talked about earlier on in the show. This is not 20 00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:56.799 official just yet, but when it comes to Louisville basketball, 21 00:00:57.200 --> 00:00:59.399 First of all, Pat Kelsey, I don't know if it's 22 00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:03.119 specifically or if it's him, Josh Hurd and the entire 23 00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:06.359 team at the University of Louisville, but they've really done 24 00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:10.719 the fans. I don't know what They've put together a 25 00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:14.879 non conference schedule that I believe is not only going 26 00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:17.040 to be challenging and beneficial if you can win to 27 00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:19.079 help you get a potentially get a good seat on 28 00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:23.359 selection Sunday, But it's games against teams that fans will 29 00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:24.079 be interested in. 30 00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:24.319 Right. 31 00:01:24.359 --> 00:01:28.920 You would rather play a Cincinnati than a Montana State 32 00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:33.120 in December. You'd rather play Memphis and old Rival than 33 00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:36.840 playing Popcorn State. I mean those games, they're always going 34 00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:38.959 to be there to an extent, meaning games against teams 35 00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:40.920 that a lot of people know nothing about. But you 36 00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:42.640 have to be mindful now in college basketball when you 37 00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:46.239 play those teams, because how they seed the tournament. When 38 00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:49.799 it comes to the metrics, the net formula, sometimes just 39 00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:53.439 having a team on the schedule is going to hurt 40 00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:55.519 you because you can't beat them by enough points for 41 00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:58.359 you not to fall. Now, again, different conversation is how 42 00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:00.359 silly the formula is and how much they rely on it. 43 00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:02.760 But as of now. That's how it works. 44 00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:05.519 And Louisville went eighteen and two last year in the 45 00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:07.920 ACC and got an eight seat. I think that says 46 00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:10.400 more about the ACC than anything else. But you've got 47 00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:12.719 to be very careful how you put your schedule together, 48 00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:14.400 and they've done a good job at that. And we 49 00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:17.439 found out yesterday according to John Rossien of CBS Sports, 50 00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:21.120 that Louisvill's opponent in this year's ACC SEC Challenge is 51 00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:25.280 going to be a familiar, familiar faue, not really the opponent. 52 00:02:24.919 --> 00:02:25.400 But the coach. 53 00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:27.879 The coach is, I should say, so Arkansas is who 54 00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:30.360 Louisville is going to play. So Louisville fans will see 55 00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:33.879 their team go up against John Caliperry once again and 56 00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:39.280 also Kenny Payne, and the storyline is there. It is 57 00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:42.120 Louisville going up against a guy that used to be 58 00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:44.280 at their rival school that had a lot of success 59 00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:47.560 against Louisville. Hate to say that, it's just it's facts. 60 00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:49.919 Cali Perry did a lot of good things during his 61 00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:52.280 time in Lexington. One of those things was he he 62 00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:55.360 had his way with the rival, which goes a long way, 63 00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:57.800 especially around here when we have I think one of 64 00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:01.319 the most passionate rivalries you'll find in sports. But Kenny 65 00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:03.680 Payne is the real story here now. He's He's not 66 00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:07.159 come up a lot here locally in the last year 67 00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:09.439 or so because Pat Kelcey was off to such a 68 00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:10.919 good start and has been off to such a good 69 00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:13.719 start that you're not thinking about the nightmare that you 70 00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:16.080 hope to forget forever. We'd all like to block out 71 00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:17.840 and I'd say wee because I'm a loive a fan myself, 72 00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:20.199 but we'd all like to block out those two years 73 00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:24.800 of our of our fanhood from ever existing. But obviously 74 00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:27.360 we can't do that. But because Louisville had such a 75 00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:31.240 good start with Pat Kelcey, you're not sitting in a 76 00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:33.879 mess that you feel like was left because of just 77 00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:36.520 how horrendous Kenny Payne was as a coach. 78 00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:38.280 You had success right out of the. 79 00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:41.879 Gate, and that that was that's the best case scenario 80 00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:45.280 for Pat Kelcey, because it would have been it would 81 00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:48.800 have been understandable if they weren't nearly as good as 82 00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:50.719 they were last year, because again, you had to start 83 00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:53.560 from scratch. But it did play out to where Pat 84 00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:56.319 Kelcey in his first year, and I'm sure, maybe there 85 00:03:56.400 --> 00:04:00.039 was there was some strategy here or maybe not, I 86 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:03.120 don't know, but he did everything the exact opposite way. 87 00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:06.039 He had a lot of legitimate excuses, but never once 88 00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:08.840 played the victim, never once even referenced anything as a 89 00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:12.560 legitimate excuse, despite having two key injuries that took place 90 00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:15.479 in November, losing guys for the rest of the season, 91 00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:18.920 losing rain Smith late in the year where he clearly 92 00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:21.639 wasn't one hundred percent when they finished the season, and 93 00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:23.839 you know, these guys just never played victim, never played, 94 00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:25.240 never felt sorry for themselves. 95 00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:26.199 And that's that's the. 96 00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:29.000 Exact opposite of what the previous regime did, is that 97 00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:34.000 they blamed every every shortfall on what they inherited, which. 98 00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:35.800 Was a lie. 99 00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:38.160 I mean, this day and age, you can go build 100 00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:40.360 a team from scratch and it doesn't guarantee that you're 101 00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:42.720 going to be good. But I think the previous group 102 00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:45.480 just kind of came and expecting everybody to just be 103 00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:48.240 happy they were here and expect it to be bad 104 00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:50.319 for a while before it got good. But it wasn't 105 00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:54.959 just bad, it was really unbelievably bad. So again that'll 106 00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:57.519 be the talking point as we get set for that game. 107 00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:00.120 It'll take place the week after Thanksgiving, the Monday your us. 108 00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:02.319 We didn't know the date just yet, but Louisville fans 109 00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:04.959 will get a chance to go up against John CALIPII 110 00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:07.160 and Kenny Payne, which won't be an easy game. Cali 111 00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:09.720 Perry's got talent, certainly a good coach, but I would 112 00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:11.959 imagine both teams will probably be in the top twenty 113 00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:15.240 around that time, So looking forward to it. College oops 114 00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:17.480 is a long way away, but I'm excited for it. 115 00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:19.920 I'm a college hoops nerd. You'll learn that if you 116 00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:22.000 haven't learned that already about me.

He is going 143 00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:23.120 to be joining us throughout the show here and there 144 00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:25.759 to discuss some of the latest injuries in sports and 145 00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:28.199 just give you guys some good information that I think 146 00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:30.959 is worthwhile. We've been partners with prop Physical Therapy for 147 00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:33.839 quite some time, and I know my listeners from down 148 00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:36.439 the hall on seven ninety very familiar with both doctor 149 00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:39.480 Eric mcclroy and doctor Larry Ben's And one thing I 150 00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:40.879 wanted to start with, I know we have a lot 151 00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:42.959 of golfers out there, and one of the things I've 152 00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:47.160 learned over our many conversations is things that you could 153 00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:51.639 do is to prevent injuries and also knowing when to rest. 154 00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:54.120 Rest recovery is certainly really important. I've been educated in 155 00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:56.160 a major way with the many chats we've had over time. 156 00:06:56.199 --> 00:06:58.279 But for those that maybe aren't super familiar. If you're 157 00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:00.439 somebody that's active in golf and you find your self 158 00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:03.800 dealing with some soreness, maybe throughout your round of golfer 159 00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:06.639 maybe the next day, what are just some basic things 160 00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:08.399 people can do that they wouldn't You know. 161 00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:10.360 That that isn't difficult, but it could really. 162 00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:12.000 Go a long way to help you be a little 163 00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:14.519 more comfortable out there swinging the clubs. But also the 164 00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:16.560 next day you're not feeling sore. 165 00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:19.560 Yeah, I think the biggest thing, there's a couple of 166 00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:22.079 things that always try to educate golfers. I mean we're 167 00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:24.480 in the you know, getting to the peak of golf 168 00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:27.279 season right now. A lot of these are golfers in 169 00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:31.199 the summer and start playing a ton and you know, 170 00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:34.639 the biggest thing is warming up. I mean, if I 171 00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:37.560 cannot reiterate to golfers, a lot of them get to 172 00:07:37.639 --> 00:07:40.079 the course the last minute or they go out and 173 00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:41.519 they just hit a few balls or they go to 174 00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:43.920 the putting green, and I think they need to be 175 00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:45.639 really intentional with their warm ups. 176 00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:48.759 We educate that this a ton it's an athletic movement. 177 00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:51.120 They try to go out on the first thing they 178 00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:53.199 do is swing as hard and fast as they can. 179 00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:56.319 But you know, their warm up could be very you know, 180 00:07:56.399 --> 00:08:00.439 basic light stretching, you know, stuff that really doesn't generally 181 00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:02.879 get their core temperature up, doesn't get their fast switch 182 00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:06.399 muscle fibers ready to go, doesn't stimulate those and then 183 00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:09.600 they wonder why they one are slow to perform, and 184 00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:13.759 then two they're hurt or they're really sore, and you know, 185 00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:16.319 you're actually gonna be sore anyways. But a lot of 186 00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:18.319 it has to do with did you warm up properly? 187 00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:19.839 So that's the first thing. 188 00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:24.560 The second thing is when you're done, making sure you 189 00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:25.879 take some time to cool. 190 00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:29.439 Down, arrest, stretch out a little bit. 191 00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:33.159 You know, you do all kinds of things like foam rolling, 192 00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:37.679 using massage guns, things like that that can help them 193 00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:41.399 as far as the recovery process, you know, not trying 194 00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:43.679 to go out and play too many rounds at once. 195 00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:44.759 You know what I mean? 196 00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:46.000 By that is, if you know you're gonna be in 197 00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:48.320 a member guest or a member member, making sure that 198 00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:50.440 you don't go play, you know, two more times the 199 00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:52.600 next week and give your audi a chance to recover 200 00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:54.080 and limit injury risk. 201 00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:58.360 Rest and recovery is certainly huge, and college baseball is 202 00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:00.559 it's getting down to determining who's going to be the 203 00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:02.840 national champion, the College World Series getting ready to start, 204 00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:05.759 and obviously pitching is a big factor for everybody involved. 205 00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:07.120 Well, give us a. 206 00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:11.120 Little bit of insight into what what what a day 207 00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:12.960 off is like for somebody that is And I know 208 00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:14.799 there's a lot of different roles when it comes to pitching. 209 00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:16.440 You could be somebody that's pitching a bunch of innings. 210 00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:18.480 You could be somebody that's just in there to finish 211 00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:20.480 up the game. So I guess it really depends on 212 00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:22.960 what your role is as a pitcher. But when they 213 00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:26.519 are resting and recovering, when it's a survive in advance. 214 00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:26.960 You're still alive. 215 00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:29.200 What do you think that type of rest recovery looks 216 00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:30.080 like for most pitchers? 217 00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:34.240 That's a great question, and first and foremost go racers. 218 00:09:34.360 --> 00:09:35.519 I'm also go going that's right. 219 00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:37.519 I forgot about that. You got two You got two 220 00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:39.480 squads in the in the Omaha. 221 00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:41.279 Right, pretty exciting. 222 00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:45.960 So the biggest thing is for these they're moving a 223 00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:48.279 lot more than people think. I think we sometimes we 224 00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:50.440 think arrest is sitting on our butts, but there's something 225 00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:51.480 called active recovery. 226 00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:53.720 You know, you see a lot of athletes. 227 00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:55.639 Going into the to the weight room, or they'll go 228 00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:57.960 into a light practice the day after a game and 229 00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:00.440 then their day off is actually two days later. So 230 00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:03.440 when you're in this kind of tournament, in this situation, 231 00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:05.600 and these pictures are gonna start pitching a little bit 232 00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:08.240 more without as much rest, uh, because that it's game 233 00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:09.960 time now. You just got to get your best arms 234 00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:13.240 out there. So they're gonna be actively recovering. They're gonna 235 00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:14.960 be doing a lot of things that you wouldn't think 236 00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:17.879 light throwing. They're gonna be working with the trainers, trying 237 00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:20.919 to get a lot of soft tissue work done. They're 238 00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:25.200 gonna be focusing on you know, obviously inflammation control with ice, 239 00:10:25.320 --> 00:10:26.840 heat contrast type things. 240 00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:29.559 Uh. But they're not sitting around, uh. 241 00:10:29.559 --> 00:10:32.399 And you know, because they got to keep things quote 242 00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:34.960 unquote loose. They got to get the keep the tissue, 243 00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:38.799 uh healthy and not don't let this inflammation build up. 244 00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:40.159 And it's a quick turnaround. 245 00:10:40.200 --> 00:10:44.120 So they're gonna be free, getting frequent treatment, staying active, 246 00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:45.279 staying movement, but doing. 247 00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:46.120 It in a safe manner. 248 00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:49.279 All right, last one, I'm gonna shift gears here because 249 00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:51.600 I know you've got to be super excited about Murray State. 250 00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:54.440 I know, uh what what what are you getting is? 251 00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:56.080 I know you don't currently live there, You're you're in 252 00:10:56.080 --> 00:10:58.840 Louisville now, But obviously what's been the reaction from other 253 00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:02.039 alum like yourself? Because as they truly are the Cinderella 254 00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:04.200 story of college baseball, I feel like if you don't 255 00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:06.960 have a team that you like that's in Omaha, everybody's 256 00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:08.399 pulling for the Racers. 257 00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:10.120 Man, It's awesome. 258 00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:12.320 I mean I've I've had friends reach out from college 259 00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:13.399 I haven't heard from in years. 260 00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:14.440 You know, I'm not surprised. 261 00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:18.000 You know, you're naming your phone still and you know 262 00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:20.480 everybody's super pumped. I mean, I think that I know 263 00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:23.559 that they're from I have a friend of mine from Louisville. 264 00:11:23.159 --> 00:11:25.080 Actually who lives in uh. 265 00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:27.200 He said that you know, they're really rallying to try 266 00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:30.200 to get as many fans uh out to Omaha as. 267 00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:31.639 They possibly can. Uh. 268 00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:33.840 You know, there's a there's a huge contingent in Western 269 00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:36.639 Kentucky and Paduca, so there's a lot more alum. Obviously 270 00:11:36.679 --> 00:11:39.399 it's a ten thousand students. Uh So it would be 271 00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:41.960 interesting to see what they can get uh. 272 00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:45.639 Over to Omaha. And uh, you know, super excited. 273 00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:49.000 I mean, it's it's crazy and put in perspective, I 274 00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:49.960 know there was some kind of. 275 00:11:49.919 --> 00:11:52.960 Post about, you know, the coach still cutting the grass. 276 00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:55.279 I mean, I mean that stadium's nice compared to the 277 00:11:55.279 --> 00:11:56.519 one that they had when I was there. 278 00:11:56.679 --> 00:12:00.000 I sure, you know, it's just it's just awesome. 279 00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:02.600 I mean, you know, you're used to basketball and making 280 00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:05.200 you know, kind of make some noise in the NCAA tournament. 281 00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:07.639 But to have a team outside of basketball that it 282 00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:09.080 really doesn't get the resources. 283 00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:10.840 They put majority of the resources in. 284 00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:14.639 The basketball for obvious reasons, and you know, just to 285 00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:17.879 see them be able to come out and have another 286 00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:21.080 sport get to basically the equivalent of going to the 287 00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:23.879 Final four, it's pretty exciting. 288 00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:24.480 No doubt. 289 00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:24.840 Eric. 290 00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:28.519 Thank you for taking the time.

We've got trafficking 298 00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:43.639 weather coming your way right here, right now on news 299 00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:47.879 radio eight forty whas. All right, eight forty five here 300 00:12:47.879 --> 00:12:49.799 a Kentucky and this Morning News with Nick Coffee on 301 00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:52.600 news Radio eight forty whas. We're about to hand it 302 00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:56.679 off to the fellas Tony and Dwight. Tony, I'm gonna 303 00:12:56.679 --> 00:12:58.840 make you you don't get a raise. 304 00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:00.000 You got enough money. 305 00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:04.759 Actually, my first couple of weeks here on the on 306 00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:07.240 the station here, the one thing I would say is 307 00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:09.799 we need more Tony of Benetti commercials. That's the only 308 00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:12.799 request I have, just to be honest with you. So again, 309 00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:14.960 you're not gonna get a raise, but I'm giving you 310 00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:17.440 a position you would become just for this moment. This 311 00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:21.919 question the Unofficial Commissioner of College Basketball, If we, if asked, 312 00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:24.440 are we changing it to four quarters? Are we sticking 313 00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:26.519 with two twenty minute halves? What is the commissioner Tony 314 00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:28.639 Venetti saying, I go to the four quarters would be 315 00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:30.919 like everyone else on the planet. I think it's a 316 00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:33.080 better setup. It would take away and you got to 317 00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:35.159 take away some of the timeouts though, So if you 318 00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:37.600 go to the four quarters, you got to take timeouts 319 00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:40.720 from the coach. Rick Patino was one of the worst 320 00:13:40.919 --> 00:13:43.919 at this. Denny Crumb would never call a timeout. His 321 00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:45.919 philosophy was, the kids will work it out through on 322 00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:47.200 the floor, right like Cali Perry. 323 00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:47.519 Right. 324 00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:50.919 Cal Parry did the same thing, but new basketball because 325 00:13:51.159 --> 00:13:54.000 basketball players were smarter back in the day as in 326 00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:58.039 basketball minds right, so they could figure out what was happening, 327 00:13:58.039 --> 00:13:59.720 and Denny could bark a couple of things from the 328 00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:02.519 side and they'll figure it out. Nowadays, you kind of 329 00:14:02.559 --> 00:14:05.279 got an appoint them in a direction. AAU got us there. 330 00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:07.639 So I understand the coach by saying, no, I got 331 00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:09.720 to call a time out, you know, because Earl is 332 00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:14.559 in man and we're in zone. So it is take 333 00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:17.840 away the timeouts. Don't use them. You can't come back 334 00:14:17.879 --> 00:14:21.679 from what is it fourteen over fourteen? Yeah, under fourteen timeout. 335 00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:23.240 You can't come out of that and then call a 336 00:14:23.240 --> 00:14:25.440 time out, then shoot a free throw, and then call 337 00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:27.759 a time out, and then you're twenty two minutes in 338 00:14:27.799 --> 00:14:30.919 and we've had forty five seconds of basketball played. That's 339 00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:31.879 killing the sport. 340 00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:34.519 It's killing the That was gonna be a next question 341 00:14:34.600 --> 00:14:37.320 because now they've added challenge. 342 00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:38.639 By the way, they have not made. 343 00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:40.639 The change from halfs to quarters just yet, but it 344 00:14:40.679 --> 00:14:43.639 sounds like there's growing momentum towards that, and it kind 345 00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:46.639 of ties into the end of games where under two 346 00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:49.759 minutes they can review and you got it tough. It's 347 00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:51.679 a tough line to balance because when you know that 348 00:14:51.759 --> 00:14:53.840 you have the ability to go look at it and 349 00:14:53.919 --> 00:14:55.919 get it right, you would want to do that. But 350 00:14:55.960 --> 00:14:59.120 then again, there's no doubt it is damaging the product 351 00:14:59.159 --> 00:15:01.399 of college basketball all to where the non lifers, the 352 00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:03.720 people who don't love it and are obsessed with it 353 00:15:03.799 --> 00:15:06.120 like we are, they probably tune in every now and 354 00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:07.840 then and think, what the heck is this? They're stopping 355 00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:09.799 every five seconds, so you got to figure something out. 356 00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:11.759 But they've now implemented where you can. You're gonna have 357 00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:16.159 challenges in idea, but if it reduces the ability to 358 00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:18.440 just at any moment go look at the kick go, so. 359 00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:19.799 They're not going to look at it and just take 360 00:15:19.840 --> 00:15:20.960 it into challenge challenges. 361 00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:21.559 I like that. 362 00:15:21.879 --> 00:15:24.960 Plus, I why not get rid of the challenges and 363 00:15:25.159 --> 00:15:27.759 or replays during the regular season and only have them 364 00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:31.200 when it counts the conference tournaments in the NCAA. Okay, 365 00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:33.799 so cause I understand if it's in the conference final 366 00:15:34.799 --> 00:15:37.279 and the ball, you know that replay where the ball 367 00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:39.759 is either it hits his tips of his fingers before 368 00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:42.480 it goes out or not, and there's seven seconds left 369 00:15:42.480 --> 00:15:45.240 and that means possession, and that really is who's gonna 370 00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:48.080 win the game? I get it. But for the most part, 371 00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:51.399 everyone sits there. NFL's got the same problem. Why is 372 00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:55.279 it taking seven minutes? Why is it taking seven minutes? 373 00:15:55.360 --> 00:15:57.000 Things in here, guys, I'm scared. 374 00:15:57.120 --> 00:15:59.519 It drives me crazy because all of our attention spans 375 00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:01.440 are smaller and we just we come on. 376 00:16:01.759 --> 00:16:04.720 What's crazy, though, is with the NFL. It is wild 377 00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:08.879 to consider that the most powerful professional sports league by 378 00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:13.799 a billion has yet to implement some way of determining 379 00:16:13.879 --> 00:16:17.440 if a first yard a first down was converted or not. 380 00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:21.679 They still have old men running with chains and sticks. 381 00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:22.639 It's like it's. 382 00:16:24.759 --> 00:16:26.879 It's ball is a ball in a lot of ways 383 00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:30.080 other than it's a linked chain and two old dudes 384 00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:32.679 stretching it out and nobody will say it, but they're 385 00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:34.600 just guessing with it. When it comes to the spot 386 00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:36.000 of the ball that's exactly right. 387 00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:39.480 Yes, there's no definitive rule of where you spot the ball, 388 00:16:39.919 --> 00:16:42.120 like when the runner goes down, it's supposed to be 389 00:16:42.159 --> 00:16:45.279 where the ball is right. So if he's got it tucked, 390 00:16:45.639 --> 00:16:48.320 that's where the ball is right now. But it's different 391 00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:53.039 if he reaches out on the sideline or the end zone. Correct, 392 00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:55.679 So if he reaches out and just holds a ball out, 393 00:16:55.759 --> 00:16:57.000 is he running out of bounds? 394 00:16:57.279 --> 00:16:57.440 Right? 395 00:16:57.559 --> 00:16:59.960 Isn't it where the ball goes out? Okay, but that's 396 00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:02.039 not the case when he gets tackled. You can't reach 397 00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:04.839 out and get an extra yard. I'm going to say 398 00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:07.480 some stupid and at least I'm sure that's how some 399 00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:09.359 people will take this. And I've probably said many stupid 400 00:17:09.400 --> 00:17:13.960 things today. So why not finish with something replay? Is 401 00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:16.279
