00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:25.679
<v Speaker 2>It's good to be back. And I got fired last week.

9
00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:28.079
<v Speaker 2>You did well. We had important stuff to talk about.

10
00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:30.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's think it was an important show and so

11
00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:32.520
<v Speaker 3>I didn't get invited. You did not make the important

12
00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:36.520
<v Speaker 3>list exactly. But my guys Want and Ray are back

13
00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:38.799
<v Speaker 3>for that. Were ever hear for the important day. But

14
00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:40.920
<v Speaker 3>the hell was important. Oh it was a passion of

15
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:44.200
<v Speaker 3>Cedric Dempsey. Yeah, that's a big deal that continues to

16
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:44.640
<v Speaker 3>be Yes.

17
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:47.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm assuming they're going to have something here sometime this

18
00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:51.799
<v Speaker 2>summer to pay tributes to him and what he did.

19
00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:54.560
<v Speaker 3>You were student when he was here, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

20
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:57.479
<v Speaker 3>yeah powerful. So it wasn't enough to get me invited

21
00:00:57.479 --> 00:00:58.600
<v Speaker 3>to the show, but it was.

22
00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:04.400
<v Speaker 2>I gotta come with more game than that. Smart like that.

23
00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:07.120
<v Speaker 2>A lot of stuff went on. So I haven't been

24
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:09.599
<v Speaker 2>on since Wednesday, had an assignment in Scott's Stale for

25
00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:11.799
<v Speaker 2>four days. Uh So a lot of things have gone

26
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:14.760
<v Speaker 2>on when we were here last guys, because it broke

27
00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:18.239
<v Speaker 2>the Burke that she was going to be the at

28
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:20.799
<v Speaker 2>the end end of the show, I think. And there's

29
00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:25.560
<v Speaker 2>been a press conference since introductions, her family all that.

30
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:28.719
<v Speaker 2>You went to the press conference. I saw the press conference. One,

31
00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:33.879
<v Speaker 2>what were your impressions of her? She looks ready, She's

32
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:37.480
<v Speaker 2>very excited about the opportunity. This is her biggest level

33
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:40.719
<v Speaker 2>that she's been at. And one I would say with

34
00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:44.680
<v Speaker 2>high expectations given recent history. You know, four years or

35
00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:46.760
<v Speaker 2>four or five years ago, Arizona was in the national

36
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:50.599
<v Speaker 2>championship game and that that and that's what she talked

37
00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:54.319
<v Speaker 2>about her and Desiree refrancois one of the first questions

38
00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:55.879
<v Speaker 2>she asked and the main questions she asked. Where do

39
00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:58.920
<v Speaker 2>you see this program in two three years? Desiree said,

40
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:03.760
<v Speaker 2>playing for now championships or defending national championships at that point.

41
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:07.920
<v Speaker 2>So expectations are high for Burke. Sure. Let me ask you,

42
00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:12.120
<v Speaker 2>mister Mike, so you you in your business of time

43
00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:14.800
<v Speaker 2>or two I know you're teaching out you or an instructor. Uh,

44
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:17.080
<v Speaker 2>did you hire and fire people?

45
00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:18.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

46
00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:21.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean a different So do you give them that?

47
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:22.919
<v Speaker 2>What do you hope to be in five years?

48
00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:24.479
<v Speaker 4>No?

49
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:27.919
<v Speaker 2>Because why it's just what's the purpose? Yeah?

50
00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:30.479
<v Speaker 3>I mean it's like, well one, it's many times it's

51
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:32.360
<v Speaker 3>a trick question because it's like when you don't know

52
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:35.360
<v Speaker 3>where the organ how the organization set up for this,

53
00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:37.199
<v Speaker 3>It's like, where do you expect to be in five years?

54
00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:38.840

<v Speaker 2>What do you mean? He says, Well, by that time

62
00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:58.280
<v Speaker 2>you'll be sitting by the beach and having sodas. You're

63
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:00.400
<v Speaker 2>gonna read on tiring and do that. Yeh yeah, you

<v Speaker 5>Right?

67
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:05.439
<v Speaker 2>Of course you're going to say I want to win

68
00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:10.120
<v Speaker 2>a title in two three years? Is that realistic? Realistic?

69
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:13.319
<v Speaker 2>Look up the word if you don't know what it is. Yeah,

70
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:16.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't believe. So. I think if they're if they're

71
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:19.439
<v Speaker 2>competitive and there, I think they're going to be committed.

72
00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:22.280
<v Speaker 3>I like, I do turn what she's saying, and I

73
00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:24.879
<v Speaker 3>think it's a Arizona is a good destination.

74
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:27.520
<v Speaker 2>Mm hmmmm hmmm. I think it's going to be a

75
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:29.800
<v Speaker 2>good higher. She was impressive to me. Did you see

76
00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:32.759
<v Speaker 2>the press company? No, she was impressive to me physically

77
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:36.400
<v Speaker 2>and what she said. Her backstory is fantastic, right. Uh,

78
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:39.360
<v Speaker 2>she didn't want to be given given anything. She's worked

79
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:41.199
<v Speaker 2>hard for it. Obviously she's been all over the place.

80
00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:41.879
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

81
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:44.759
<v Speaker 2>So we'll talk about her more. But is that what

82
00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:46.639
<v Speaker 2>you came away with? Did you? Were you there after

83
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:48.599
<v Speaker 2>the press conference where they kind of lingered and talked

84
00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:51.360
<v Speaker 2>more to her very little. I didn't get the chance,

85
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:53.080
<v Speaker 2>because that's when you get this true, that's when you

86
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:56.759
<v Speaker 2>get the other good stuff, the real Yea Becky Burke, right.

87
00:03:56.879 --> 00:03:59.840
<v Speaker 6>I haven't got that chance yet. I hope to have

88
00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:03.360
<v Speaker 6>her on the show here at some point. But impressive.

89
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:05.479
<v Speaker 6>Did say she seems authentic. How old is she?

90
00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:08.919
<v Speaker 2>I have no idea forty thirty five? Also, she was

91
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:11.400
<v Speaker 2>younger than I thought, forty years oloter just I say older,

92
00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:12.879
<v Speaker 2>because she's been all over the place.

93
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:14.919
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I was gonna say, I really think this is

94
00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:17.560
<v Speaker 3>a good hire. I mean it's a young coach with

95
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:19.480
<v Speaker 3>a lot of experience, a lot of energy.

96
00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:25.920
<v Speaker 2>Idea was a good recruiter. She was a no question,

97
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:30.399
<v Speaker 2>pretty bad retainer. No, no, no, to be fair, exactly,

98
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:32.120
<v Speaker 2>to be fair, that's exactly true.

99
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:35.319
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, she was a great recruiter, poor retainer. I

100
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:41.160
<v Speaker 3>think that this we can recruit to the universe Arizona.

101
00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:42.839
<v Speaker 2>So to both of you, especially to you one, because

102
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:45.360
<v Speaker 2>I know you're kind of out there in the internet world.

103
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:49.199
<v Speaker 2>So people who listen and watch watch the games for

104
00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:52.160
<v Speaker 2>the women's team and the men's game. So she so

105
00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:55.040
<v Speaker 2>ideas leaving or whatever is who are going to get? Right,

106
00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:57.240
<v Speaker 2>Who are going to get? Who we're going to get?

107
00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:00.240
<v Speaker 2>There's always someone else you're gonna get. Look at when

108
00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:04.360
<v Speaker 2>Sean left, Sean left or got fired. Now what we're

109
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:06.519
<v Speaker 2>gonna get? Oh the world is gonna fall? Yeah, and

110
00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:11.439
<v Speaker 2>everything turned out fine. Sure, So typically everything turns out fine, right,

111
00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:15.759
<v Speaker 2>Arizona's a good destination. They had very good candidates apply

112
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:18.120
<v Speaker 2>for this job, so it wasn't like that they were

113
00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:21.680
<v Speaker 2>short on people like wanting to wanting to work here. Yuh,

114
00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:24.800
<v Speaker 2>so you're gonna get quality. Yeah, you noticed her salary.

115
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:28.360
<v Speaker 2>I did six sixty five around there, sixt sixty five,

116
00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:31.720
<v Speaker 2>about seven hundred thousand less than then idea, which of

117
00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:34.920
<v Speaker 2>course means the program of saving money, and that's about

118
00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:35.759
<v Speaker 2>the right wheelhouse.

119
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:38.879
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's I mean, that's a legitimate I mean, now

120
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:42.720
<v Speaker 3>come here, do something, you know, get a get a

121
00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:46.399
<v Speaker 3>national championship in two or three years. Yeah, okay, then

122
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:48.639
<v Speaker 3>we're going to talk about renegotiating sure contract.

123
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:48.920
<v Speaker 5>Sure.

124
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:52.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, look at look at how Adia made hers timing

125
00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:54.319
<v Speaker 2>and circumstances. Yeah. I don't know what she was making

126
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:56.480
<v Speaker 2>before she made one point one or one point two,

127
00:05:56.600 --> 00:06:00.000
<v Speaker 2>but it was a time of crisis. I think COVID time, right,

128
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:02.439
<v Speaker 2>COVID times, with the chance that she might go to

129
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:05.959
<v Speaker 2>Baylor make a lot of money, and the darling of

130
00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:09.040
<v Speaker 2>the program right at the time, and you don't want

131
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:11.240
<v Speaker 2>to lose her. So what do you have to do?

132
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:13.920
<v Speaker 2>You pay her? Yeah, in a desperate move to keep her,

133
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:17.360
<v Speaker 2>you pay her timing and circumstances right, right, Although the

134
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:22.040
<v Speaker 2>level of payment didn't equal the success afterward, right, I mean, well,

135
00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:26.480
<v Speaker 2>you certainly pay for path performance, which doesn't guarantee future performance. Well,

136
00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:28.240
<v Speaker 2>look at you. I like that. Yeah, there you go.

137
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:31.240
<v Speaker 6>You've been studying something, but he's trying to prove his

138
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:32.360
<v Speaker 6>point for important days.

139
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:35.240
<v Speaker 3>Exactly some day I'll invite it to the big show.

140
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:39.879
<v Speaker 3>But you're exactly right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Well that's it.

141
00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:43.160
<v Speaker 3>I mean you we thought that we caught lightning in

142
00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:45.600
<v Speaker 3>a bottle when they went to the one to the

143
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:48.480
<v Speaker 3>final four, and it turns out that we had a

144
00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:51.720
<v Speaker 3>good player. And then it turns out that we started

145
00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:57.240
<v Speaker 3>letting good players go. Yeah, and you know, circumstances happened.

146
00:06:57.240 --> 00:07:01.199
<v Speaker 3>She certainly didn't live up to the expectations that we had,

147
00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:02.360
<v Speaker 3>which were very high.

148
00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:05.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and here's here's the other issue. And I think

149
00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:10.160
<v Speaker 2>a lot of ad I think she's a good, good coach,

150
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:14.040
<v Speaker 2>like a good recruiter, not a good retainer. I know

151
00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:15.759
<v Speaker 2>we're not up on a personal level, but you know,

152
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:19.160
<v Speaker 2>we've talked before. I did a story for Bistus on

153
00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:22.639
<v Speaker 2>our magazine story. But the way she went out the

154
00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:26.560
<v Speaker 2>door was kind of troubling. You talked about the interview

155
00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:28.920
<v Speaker 2>with Dallas right on the radio or whatever it was

156
00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:32.199
<v Speaker 2>on the side and kind of criticizing some some coaches,

157
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:34.759
<v Speaker 2>you know, the mid mid level coaches. Well she kind

158
00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:36.639
<v Speaker 2>of started that way, but not really, not even at

159
00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:38.480
<v Speaker 2>that level. She was not a coach at all, or

160
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:42.199
<v Speaker 2>she was, she was a assistant coach. Yeah, but you know,

161
00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:45.279
<v Speaker 2>I hate to beat the state horse because we'll talk

162
00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:47.079
<v Speaker 2>a little bit more about it with lev because he

163
00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:51.040
<v Speaker 2>knew more because he spoke to her, spoke to the principles.

164
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:52.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure they went off the record on a number

165
00:07:52.600 --> 00:07:55.199
<v Speaker 2>of things. Uh, so we there's always more to the story.

166
00:07:55.399 --> 00:07:58.439
<v Speaker 3>Well, she can't fortunate in getting this head coaching job,

167
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:01.000
<v Speaker 3>I mean with with Arizona, you know, and she did

168
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:05.000
<v Speaker 3>because she was a great player and she was yeah here,

169
00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:07.800
<v Speaker 3>and so it's like, okay, she was a good assistant. Okay, hey,

170
00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:10.600
<v Speaker 3>we're gonna take this chance on her being a good

171
00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:16.279
<v Speaker 3>head coach. Did she skip over her mid major time?

172
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:17.079
<v Speaker 2>Yes? Yeah.

173
00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:21.199
<v Speaker 3>Did she consider herself fortunate for that? No, she thought

174
00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:25.800
<v Speaker 3>she was just blessed, which is different. Okay, true, probably

175
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:27.720
<v Speaker 3>that's a good one. You're probably right.

176
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:31.000
<v Speaker 2>And then timing circumstances gave her the chance to have

177
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:35.159
<v Speaker 2>this great ride convince the people that go, which was amazing. Hey,

178
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:37.480
<v Speaker 2>if I'm what's her legacy?

179
00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:41.679
<v Speaker 3>Do you know what her legacy would be the fact

180
00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:43.679
<v Speaker 3>that she went took her team to the phone floor,

181
00:08:45.159 --> 00:08:48.600
<v Speaker 3>But then I think she couldn't keep anybody good players here.

182
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:53.120
<v Speaker 6>She should be considered probably and possibly the best women's

183
00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:54.759
<v Speaker 6>basketball coach in Arizona.

184
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:58.679
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yes, I think her and her former coach will

185
00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:00.919
<v Speaker 2>go one one A, one B.

186
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:03.840
<v Speaker 6>This is kind of similar to the way Jed Fish

187
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:07.879
<v Speaker 6>went out. Realistically, Jetfish has one of the greatest seasons

188
00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:11.639
<v Speaker 6>and Arizona football history correct that that maybe that season

189
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:13.240
<v Speaker 6>is not going to be remembered as much because of

190
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:15.639
<v Speaker 6>the way the Fish left in the way it turned

191
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:16.720
<v Speaker 6>out last season.

192
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:20.799
<v Speaker 2>What was his legacy, I don't know, turning turning the

193
00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:23.600
<v Speaker 2>program around. I think three years.

194
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:28.039
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, maybe even two and a half if you if

195
00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:30.120
<v Speaker 6>you want to count that first one with COVID and

196
00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:31.960
<v Speaker 6>different era two to half.

197
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:34.759
<v Speaker 2>And then half of the half. I mean, he got

198
00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:38.600
<v Speaker 2>tim in circumstances given that the quarterback, uh Delora kind

199
00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:41.120
<v Speaker 2>of face flamed out with the injury, and then yeah,

200
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:42.000
<v Speaker 2>that's that's the thing.

201
00:09:42.039 --> 00:09:44.840
<v Speaker 3>It's like, you know, if he doesn't get injured, does

202
00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:48.039
<v Speaker 3>he you know, do we have that great season or

203
00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:49.799
<v Speaker 3>do we stick with Delora.

204
00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:53.679
<v Speaker 2>So okay, we'll talk more about all that stuff later,

205
00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:59.600
<v Speaker 2>especially the the the Idea Barnes thing. Basketball continues to do. Okay, right,

206
00:09:59.639 --> 00:10:02.480
<v Speaker 2>they get or the recruits from last week. We saw

207
00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:05.919
<v Speaker 2>that Monday or Tuesday or whatever it was, and then

208
00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:09.120
<v Speaker 2>and then people are coming back. Uh, there must be

209
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:13.200
<v Speaker 2>finding some money to pay these guys with who I'm

210
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:14.799
<v Speaker 2>gonna take some of your stuff, but you can go

211
00:10:14.840 --> 00:10:17.840
<v Speaker 2>back with it later. But the orso coming back with

212
00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:20.639
<v Speaker 2>Bradley coming back walk out last week. I plus I

213
00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:22.639
<v Speaker 2>said that he was coming back. So the some of

214
00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:26.559
<v Speaker 2>the main pieces are coming back. Yeah, they just need

215
00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:30.399
<v Speaker 2>they just need h Carter Bryant to come back. Yeah

216
00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:34.519
<v Speaker 2>that that that would definitely be good. Uh good for us.

00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:37.159
<v Speaker 3>I mean we got these we got these great recruits

<v Speaker 3>tussle tack, right, even if they can come up with

235
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:23.559
<v Speaker 3>the cash. You know, uh, some of these guys you know,

236
00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:25.559
<v Speaker 3>are actually interested in winning.

237
00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:28.559
<v Speaker 2>Right. Well, we'll go to that. The Tennessee quarterback. We

238
00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:30.360
<v Speaker 2>talked a little about it off there there. Well, we'll

239
00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:32.440
<v Speaker 2>talk about that for the for your breaking news, because

240
00:11:32.519 --> 00:11:35.440
<v Speaker 2>we both have opinions on that, sure and probably the

241
00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:38.840
<v Speaker 2>likelihood of that continue to happen. Being held hostage. Okay,

242
00:11:38.919 --> 00:11:41.879
<v Speaker 2>for our first hour, we're gonna have a gymnastics coach,

243
00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:44.120
<v Speaker 2>John Court. They had a pretty good not a pretty good,

244
00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:47.320
<v Speaker 2>very good yeah season this year in the postseason, so

245
00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:49.440
<v Speaker 2>we'll talk to him about it. He's been headed this

246
00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:52.720
<v Speaker 2>direction for a while now. Every year getting better and better.

247
00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:55.679
<v Speaker 2>So he'll be at three seventeen to honor that team.

248
00:11:55.960 --> 00:11:57.639
<v Speaker 2>And then at four to seventeen we're going to have

249
00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:00.399
<v Speaker 2>mister Michael lev who's been in the middle of all this,

250
00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:03.840
<v Speaker 2>the women's basketball, the men's basketball stuff, the baseball team

251
00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:07.879
<v Speaker 2>that's riding right now. So two things.

252
00:12:08.039 --> 00:12:11.320
<v Speaker 6>One, just to go back to Burke's introductory press conference.

253
00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:13.840
<v Speaker 2>One thing I did like if.

254
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:16.559
<v Speaker 6>I was an Arizona fan and I am on the side,

255
00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:20.799
<v Speaker 6>is her mindset of twenty four to seven, three sixty five.

256
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:21.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

257
00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:25.440
<v Speaker 6>Or she talked about how players if the jersey practice

258
00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:28.000
<v Speaker 6>jersey and tuck, She'll tell him there's no days off.

259
00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:30.559
<v Speaker 6>She's not going to slack off one day, but then

260
00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:32.919
<v Speaker 6>be hard on it the next day. It's it's twenty

261
00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:34.720
<v Speaker 6>four to seven, three sixty five.

262
00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:35.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

263
00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:37.120
<v Speaker 6>And the other thing I want to be up is

264
00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:41.960
<v Speaker 6>Arizona baseball. I believe Saturday for the game, right, crazy

265
00:12:42.120 --> 00:12:43.000
<v Speaker 6>crazy stuff happened?

266
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:47.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah right, yeah? Pretty were you there? I was not. Okay,

267
00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:50.720
<v Speaker 2>I saw the video I saw do we know what happened?

268
00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:54.960
<v Speaker 6>Like to go ahead, Brian said that Brian Peterson, one

269
00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:57.759
<v Speaker 6>of the my boss at Asy doesn't Swarm, said that

270
00:12:57.799 --> 00:13:00.600
<v Speaker 6>one of them had a dislocated shoulder and the other

271
00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:01.559
<v Speaker 6>one had back injury.

272
00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:03.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they felt pretty hard, obviously they did.

273
00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:05.840
<v Speaker 6>In the video it looks like one of them both

274
00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:08.080
<v Speaker 6>almost both of them broke their legs, but I guess not.

275
00:13:08.600 --> 00:13:10.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they didn't didn't come down very well. No, no,

276
00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:12.679
<v Speaker 2>I wondered how long the delay was. It had to

277
00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:14.600
<v Speaker 2>be some kind of I think it was half an

278
00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:17.240
<v Speaker 2>hour to forty minutes. Oh really, yeah, yeah, I had

279
00:13:17.279 --> 00:13:19.759
<v Speaker 2>heard it over the over the internet whatever, and then

280
00:13:19.799 --> 00:13:22.840
<v Speaker 2>I saw the video and I said, wow, they're surprise.

281
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:24.000
<v Speaker 2>That doesn't happen more often.

282
00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:28.519
<v Speaker 3>Well, I think they rarely jump in that kind of wind,

283
00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:31.120
<v Speaker 3>you know, And yeah, it was windy, and and then

284
00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:33.399
<v Speaker 3>and that's what happened. You know, Oh you see it

285
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:35.600
<v Speaker 3>in your past life. Oh sure, yeah. I mean they

286
00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:37.360
<v Speaker 3>you know, they jump into every Army game. I mean

287
00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:39.399
<v Speaker 3>it's like, you know, Army Navy game. They're jumping in.

288
00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:43.679
<v Speaker 3>I know a lot of guys that that do that stuff. Yeah,

289
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:45.639
<v Speaker 3>uh for a living. And you know they checked the

290
00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:47.480
<v Speaker 3>wind and if the wind's bad, they don't jump.

291
00:13:47.799 --> 00:13:48.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

292
00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:50.320
<v Speaker 3>My guess is that they were like, you know, we

293
00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:52.600
<v Speaker 3>can do this, we can make this, and yeah, and

294
00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:54.480
<v Speaker 3>they didn't. And then and then what they did is

295
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:57.519
<v Speaker 3>they you saw them fall really hard.

296
00:13:57.840 --> 00:13:58.240
<v Speaker 2>They didn't.

297
00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:01.679
<v Speaker 3>You're supposed to do it what they called pelf and

298
00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:04.879
<v Speaker 3>you know you kind of roll on, you know, on

299
00:14:04.960 --> 00:14:07.960

00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:14.799
<v Speaker 2>is Mike Quinn. Now on the phone. We have court

400
00:19:14.839 --> 00:19:17.920
<v Speaker 2>of the Arizona gymnastics team. John, how are you?

401
00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:20.640
<v Speaker 5>I'm good? Steven back how are you doing.

402
00:19:20.759 --> 00:19:24.440
<v Speaker 2>We're doing fine. Hey, what a fantastic season you've had.

403
00:19:24.720 --> 00:19:25.079
<v Speaker 7>Wow?

404
00:19:25.599 --> 00:19:28.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, do you when you have time to kind of reflect?

405
00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:30.920
<v Speaker 2>Are you too busy to reflect? Or you a guy

406
00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:33.559
<v Speaker 2>that kind of maybe can you know, smell the roses?

407
00:19:34.599 --> 00:19:37.160
<v Speaker 5>I like to celebrate the small victories, but at the

408
00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:39.039
<v Speaker 5>same time it's probably going to take a couple of

409
00:19:39.079 --> 00:19:40.359
<v Speaker 5>months to really let it set in.

410
00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:43.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, did it meet your expectations?

411
00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:46.880
<v Speaker 5>I would say it met them in and met them

412
00:19:46.880 --> 00:19:48.920
<v Speaker 5>in a lot of ways. Yes, we you know, we

413
00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:50.680
<v Speaker 5>had it. We had a really good game plan from

414
00:19:50.680 --> 00:19:52.240
<v Speaker 5>the beginning of the year. We knew we had to

415
00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:53.839
<v Speaker 5>do things a little bit differently. We knew we had

416
00:19:53.880 --> 00:19:56.559
<v Speaker 5>to pack the athletes later. We had a great buy

417
00:19:56.599 --> 00:19:59.839
<v Speaker 5>in from all of our student athletes for the things

418
00:19:59.839 --> 00:20:03.200
<v Speaker 5>that we needed them to do in order to be successful,

419
00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:07.279
<v Speaker 5>and we were able to execute throughout the entire season

420
00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:12.480
<v Speaker 5>and really focused on process not outcome. And that's just

421
00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:15.279
<v Speaker 5>really important. When you can't control what the other team does,

422
00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:17.680
<v Speaker 5>we can control what we do. So it was so

423
00:20:17.799 --> 00:20:22.000
<v Speaker 5>much about process and uh and never giving up and

424
00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:26.240
<v Speaker 5>having the wee over me mentality, really reminding them of

425
00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:28.519
<v Speaker 5>that that all of us it's not just one of us,

426
00:20:28.519 --> 00:20:30.359
<v Speaker 5>it is all of us. And that's just not the

427
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:35.000
<v Speaker 5>things that we do with gymnastics, that's just everything with

428
00:20:35.039 --> 00:20:38.039
<v Speaker 5>the program. You know, whether you're in your in your

429
00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:42.000
<v Speaker 5>social life, in the classroom, representing Arizona Athletics, representing ours

430
00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:44.519
<v Speaker 5>of gymnastics, it is a we It is a wee thing.

431
00:20:44.519 --> 00:20:45.279
<v Speaker 4>It is not amusing.

432
00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:46.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no question.

433
00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:50.359
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's that's outstanding. The So, you know, you talk

434
00:20:50.400 --> 00:20:53.519
<v Speaker 3>about expectations, you talk about a team buying in. I

435
00:20:53.559 --> 00:20:58.960
<v Speaker 3>see Elizabeth LaRusso is coming back. What are your expectations

436
00:20:58.960 --> 00:21:01.119
<v Speaker 3>for next year? I mean, it's like people have bought in,

437
00:21:01.240 --> 00:21:02.200
<v Speaker 3>want to stick around.

438
00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:06.799
<v Speaker 5>It's great to bring back Elizabeth. She was injured last

439
00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:10.200
<v Speaker 5>year so she didn't play. And Elizabeth also graduated a

440
00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:13.279
<v Speaker 5>year early from high school, so she's the same age

441
00:21:13.319 --> 00:21:14.759
<v Speaker 5>as by sophomores.

442
00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:16.599
<v Speaker 2>Wow right now.

443
00:21:16.640 --> 00:21:18.599
<v Speaker 5>And she'll be a staple on the vault and for

444
00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:22.160
<v Speaker 5>exercise next year just like just like she was this year.

445
00:21:23.480 --> 00:21:25.759
<v Speaker 5>So it's definitely excited to have her back. And she's

446
00:21:25.799 --> 00:21:30.119
<v Speaker 5>working on her graduate degree in speech pathology. Great major here.

447
00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:32.599
<v Speaker 2>So let me say we've had you on the show

448
00:21:32.680 --> 00:21:35.640
<v Speaker 2>kind of every year, and every year it progressed, right,

449
00:21:36.519 --> 00:21:38.720
<v Speaker 2>is it building? It got to this point in a

450
00:21:38.759 --> 00:21:41.480
<v Speaker 2>building method and continue with that building.

451
00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:44.640
<v Speaker 5>Method, Yes, without a doubt. I mean when you look

452
00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:49.759
<v Speaker 5>at our regional results, in our regular seating results, they've

453
00:21:49.880 --> 00:21:52.000
<v Speaker 5>kind of been equal, but last year it wasn't equal.

454
00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:54.640
<v Speaker 5>Last year we went into the regional's ranked I think

455
00:21:54.799 --> 00:21:57.559
<v Speaker 5>nineteenth to twentieth, and we just we didn't have a

456
00:21:57.599 --> 00:22:00.200
<v Speaker 5>great team performance. We dropped the thirty first in the

457
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:02.480
<v Speaker 5>rankings we were and we were pre season thirty one

458
00:22:03.119 --> 00:22:05.480
<v Speaker 5>this year, and we also finished sixteen because we made

459
00:22:05.480 --> 00:22:08.680
<v Speaker 5>the Sweet sixteen this year in gantastics, and I believe

460
00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:12.359
<v Speaker 5>the buying was really there. We had twelve underclassmen, which

461
00:22:13.079 --> 00:22:16.200
<v Speaker 5>you know when some can sometimes be a challenge, for sure,

462
00:22:16.279 --> 00:22:19.680
<v Speaker 5>but we had wonderful leadership with our seniors and juniors

463
00:22:20.680 --> 00:22:24.519
<v Speaker 5>in our fifth year, a lot of dats, and that

464
00:22:25.240 --> 00:22:30.519
<v Speaker 5>buy in and that leadership really was the difference for

465
00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:32.519
<v Speaker 5>the end result that we had.

466
00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:35.559
<v Speaker 2>This might be a doub question because I've covered sports forever,

467
00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:43.319
<v Speaker 2>but better, better athletes, better conditions, better situations, what's been

468
00:22:43.319 --> 00:22:43.960
<v Speaker 2>the difference?

469
00:22:46.160 --> 00:22:48.079
<v Speaker 5>I thought this year we had better buy in. And

470
00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:51.039
<v Speaker 5>that's not not to knock teams of the past, but

471
00:22:51.200 --> 00:22:53.920
<v Speaker 5>just this year that buying level was at an elite level.

472
00:22:54.880 --> 00:22:57.440
<v Speaker 5>I thought. We also made sure that we said, okay,

473
00:22:57.480 --> 00:22:59.480
<v Speaker 5>what can we do differently from prior years.

474
00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:01.799
<v Speaker 2>We changed around the.

475
00:23:01.799 --> 00:23:05.440
<v Speaker 5>Equipment in Michael. Yeah, so it did not look like

476
00:23:05.480 --> 00:23:08.119
<v Speaker 5>it did in prior years. We brought out both east

477
00:23:08.119 --> 00:23:11.519
<v Speaker 5>and west side seating all the way to the baseline,

478
00:23:12.160 --> 00:23:16.359
<v Speaker 5>so the fans were six feet away from the athletes.

479
00:23:17.839 --> 00:23:21.000
<v Speaker 5>So it created an entirely different environment. Sometimes it was loud,

480
00:23:21.640 --> 00:23:24.599
<v Speaker 5>you couldn't hear yourself, you know, speak to someone, and

481
00:23:24.839 --> 00:23:26.960
<v Speaker 5>the fans had a good time. We brought up the fireworks,

482
00:23:27.359 --> 00:23:30.440
<v Speaker 5>some power technics for introductions. We had a new electronics

483
00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:33.359
<v Speaker 5>scoring system. We did a lot of things for fan engagement.

484
00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:36.279
<v Speaker 5>We had a new marketing guy. He did a great job.

485
00:23:36.319 --> 00:23:38.559
<v Speaker 5>We did some things differently to get Zona Zoo. We

486
00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:42.480
<v Speaker 5>raffled off of Giant Screen TV this year to get

487
00:23:42.480 --> 00:23:45.400
<v Speaker 5>some students to show up. So we just did some

488
00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:48.400
<v Speaker 5>things a little bit differently, and we'll sit down at

489
00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:49.799
<v Speaker 5>the end of the year and say, hey, what worked

490
00:23:50.079 --> 00:23:52.079
<v Speaker 5>and what needs to get better so we can keep

491
00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:55.160
<v Speaker 5>capitalizing on the momentum from this year's season.

492
00:23:56.480 --> 00:23:59.960
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, we keep hearing that nil transfer portal room

493
00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:01.079
<v Speaker 3>in college sports.

494
00:24:01.279 --> 00:24:04.000
<v Speaker 2>Uh, how does that affect women's gymnastics?

495
00:24:05.200 --> 00:24:07.880
<v Speaker 5>I think you know, for us it's alive. You know,

496
00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:09.880
<v Speaker 5>the transfer portal is alive.

497
00:24:09.920 --> 00:24:10.720
<v Speaker 4>And well in those.

498
00:24:10.519 --> 00:24:12.839
<v Speaker 5>Things that you just said, I think you just have

499
00:24:12.920 --> 00:24:14.880
<v Speaker 5>to navigate the best that you can. You have to

500
00:24:14.920 --> 00:24:17.799
<v Speaker 5>stay true to your principles, but also you have to know, hey,

501
00:24:17.920 --> 00:24:21.079
<v Speaker 5>this is this is the this is the college world

502
00:24:21.119 --> 00:24:24.079
<v Speaker 5>that we live in right now, regardless of the division.

503
00:24:24.119 --> 00:24:26.440
<v Speaker 5>And I think you have to say, okay, this is

504
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:29.599
<v Speaker 5>what we want to do as a program who fits

505
00:24:29.640 --> 00:24:30.480
<v Speaker 5>those profiles.

506
00:24:31.000 --> 00:24:35.240
<v Speaker 2>So I'm sorry, dinner to keep going no.

507
00:24:35.200 --> 00:24:38.880
<v Speaker 5>Because because because for me, I don't like transactional relationships.

508
00:24:38.920 --> 00:24:42.799
<v Speaker 5>I like gugutent relationships and sometimes I stalk, can interfere,

509
00:24:43.319 --> 00:24:45.400
<v Speaker 5>And you know, for our program, we want to be

510
00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:49.680
<v Speaker 5>certainly as competitive as possible, but we also want to

511
00:24:49.720 --> 00:24:52.640
<v Speaker 5>make sure that in four years they're ready to go,

512
00:24:52.680 --> 00:24:55.319
<v Speaker 5>they're ready to graduate because there isn't a pro level

513
00:24:55.960 --> 00:24:57.640
<v Speaker 5>with our sports. They have to get out, they have

514
00:24:57.680 --> 00:24:58.880
<v Speaker 5>to get a job, they have to go to grad

515
00:24:58.920 --> 00:25:02.680
<v Speaker 5>school and ready to put themselves into society and be successful.

516
00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:05.279
<v Speaker 5>That's also our job, as well as winning championships.

517
00:25:05.640 --> 00:25:09.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so you're.

518
00:25:08.200 --> 00:25:12.559
<v Speaker 3>Definitely into into the buy in which the transfer portal

519
00:25:12.559 --> 00:25:15.319
<v Speaker 3>can make that difficult, you know, bringing bringing people in

520
00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:18.720
<v Speaker 3>in the middle, uh that are that are transactional as

521
00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:23.079
<v Speaker 3>you mentioned. Uh So I commend you on being committed

522
00:25:23.079 --> 00:25:26.039
<v Speaker 3>to that that effort and sounds like you certainly have

523
00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:28.200
<v Speaker 3>people that are bought in because you're bought in on that.

524
00:25:29.839 --> 00:25:31.359
<v Speaker 5>It's it's starts at the top. I have to leave

525
00:25:31.359 --> 00:25:33.279
<v Speaker 5>from the front, you know, for sure, myself and my

526
00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:36.039
<v Speaker 5>and my staff. And it doesn't mean that the portals.

527
00:25:36.200 --> 00:25:38.519
<v Speaker 5>You know, sometimes it can be something that's good and

528
00:25:38.599 --> 00:25:41.480
<v Speaker 5>sometimes it can be something that's bad. For lack of

529
00:25:41.519 --> 00:25:45.839
<v Speaker 5>a better word, whatever the reason is that you go

530
00:25:45.920 --> 00:25:47.680
<v Speaker 5>in or you stay in or you come out. People

531
00:25:47.920 --> 00:25:49.240
<v Speaker 5>just trying to do, at the end of the day,

532
00:25:49.279 --> 00:25:52.440
<v Speaker 5>what is best for them. I can't fault anybody for

533
00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:56.039
<v Speaker 5>doing that, honestly, you know, that's that's just that's just life.

534
00:25:56.200 --> 00:25:58.160
<v Speaker 5>And I hope that everyone that goes in they land

535
00:25:58.200 --> 00:26:02.119
<v Speaker 5>someplace and they're happier or second try, or sometimes sure

536
00:26:02.400 --> 00:26:04.799
<v Speaker 5>or sometimes the third try. It's up to us as

537
00:26:04.839 --> 00:26:08.240
<v Speaker 5>coaches to vet to vet the process and you know,

538
00:26:08.279 --> 00:26:09.880
<v Speaker 5>make sure that we have our trucks and ballots. So

539
00:26:10.079 --> 00:26:12.440
<v Speaker 5>whoever that we do bring in on the portal, we're

540
00:26:12.480 --> 00:26:15.559
<v Speaker 5>making sure that they you know, that they are what

541
00:26:15.599 --> 00:26:19.319
<v Speaker 5>we need, you know, certainly athletically, academically and a cultural

542
00:26:19.359 --> 00:26:20.920
<v Speaker 5>fit for our program.

543
00:26:21.079 --> 00:26:24.359
<v Speaker 2>Sure, let me ask you. Because of the success, I'm

544
00:26:24.400 --> 00:26:28.799
<v Speaker 2>sure that you're getting more inquiries, body better more and

545
00:26:29.119 --> 00:26:31.960
<v Speaker 2>going out and finding a better gymnast, if that makes

546
00:26:31.960 --> 00:26:35.039
<v Speaker 2>any sense, if if that's a phrase. But does the

547
00:26:35.119 --> 00:26:38.519
<v Speaker 2>quality of recruitings get raised a little?

548
00:26:39.480 --> 00:26:42.799
<v Speaker 5>Absolutely? It does. You know. Towards the end of the season,

549
00:26:43.039 --> 00:26:45.559
<v Speaker 5>you know, we had the championship run Big twelves, we

550
00:26:45.559 --> 00:26:48.160
<v Speaker 5>would running round there and we had a recruiting weekend

551
00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:53.279
<v Speaker 5>between the Big twelve championships and our regional championships, so

552
00:26:53.319 --> 00:26:56.799
<v Speaker 5>we had we had two prospects out and that went

553
00:26:56.920 --> 00:26:58.839
<v Speaker 5>very very well for us.

554
00:26:59.119 --> 00:27:03.680
<v Speaker 2>So till probably the season. Let me interrupt you, So

555
00:27:03.799 --> 00:27:05.240
<v Speaker 2>how long you've been here? A few years now?

556
00:27:05.319 --> 00:27:08.279
<v Speaker 5>Right, just just you know I've been here and there, yeah,

557
00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:10.119
<v Speaker 5>twenty seven years.

558
00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:13.519
<v Speaker 2>Love, But as a head coach, as a head coach.

559
00:27:14.240 --> 00:27:17.279
<v Speaker 5>Head coach, I just finished my seventh.

560
00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:19.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, that's what I'll think you in five or six, Okay,

561
00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:22.240
<v Speaker 2>So seventh tell me given the long range history. I've

562
00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:25.960
<v Speaker 2>been here for thirty seven and saw some some gymnastics

563
00:27:26.039 --> 00:27:29.319
<v Speaker 2>meets through the years, but the quality of the quality

564
00:27:29.359 --> 00:27:32.799
<v Speaker 2>of athletes must have gone from this to this in

565
00:27:32.839 --> 00:27:35.839
<v Speaker 2>all that time you've been here, right, and even now

566
00:27:35.880 --> 00:27:39.160
<v Speaker 2>it's kind of maybe ramped up in the last seven years.

567
00:27:39.400 --> 00:27:42.559
<v Speaker 5>It's I mean, the quality of athlete has has always

568
00:27:42.599 --> 00:27:45.880
<v Speaker 5>been good, you know, certainly at Arizona with twenty years

569
00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:48.759
<v Speaker 5>ago or that or today, you know, they're they're doing this,

570
00:27:48.960 --> 00:27:51.119
<v Speaker 5>they're doing the same skills, they're just doing.

571
00:27:50.880 --> 00:27:51.839
<v Speaker 2>That doing it.

572
00:27:52.079 --> 00:27:54.240
<v Speaker 5>I think a little bit different setting. When you put

573
00:27:54.839 --> 00:27:57.519
<v Speaker 5>live television into it and put social media into it,

574
00:27:57.519 --> 00:28:01.799
<v Speaker 5>it's like everyone's seeing your routines every single night that

575
00:28:01.839 --> 00:28:05.000
<v Speaker 5>you're playing. Yeah, and that and that, and that changes

576
00:28:05.079 --> 00:28:06.839
<v Speaker 5>and that that changes a lot of things.

577
00:28:07.319 --> 00:28:07.559
<v Speaker 2>You know.

578
00:28:07.640 --> 00:28:10.880
<v Speaker 5>For for someone eighteen to twenty one years.

579
00:28:10.680 --> 00:28:14.359
<v Speaker 2>Old, was it was there a time coach in the

580
00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:17.880
<v Speaker 2>season that you said, hmm, we might have something here

581
00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:19.000
<v Speaker 2>or did you kind of already know?

582
00:28:20.839 --> 00:28:23.920
<v Speaker 5>No, So we talked about process and then we were

583
00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:26.480
<v Speaker 5>having a staff meeting and one of one of the

584
00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:31.680
<v Speaker 5>coaches said, you know, we haven't lost at home or

585
00:28:31.720 --> 00:28:33.319
<v Speaker 5>you know, we haven't been out of the top twenty

586
00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:35.519
<v Speaker 5>all year long. I think it was at the midway

587
00:28:35.519 --> 00:28:39.359
<v Speaker 5>point in the season and it was like, yeah, yeah,

588
00:28:39.400 --> 00:28:41.240
<v Speaker 5>you're right, and I said, who have we You know,

589
00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:43.799
<v Speaker 5>we might have two losses up to that point, and

590
00:28:43.839 --> 00:28:46.799
<v Speaker 5>it was one was to Utah and one was to

591
00:28:46.880 --> 00:28:51.359
<v Speaker 5>Michigan Historical Programs.

592
00:28:51.440 --> 00:28:54.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Utah has been very, very very good over the years.

593
00:28:54.279 --> 00:28:55.839
<v Speaker 2>Let me ask you too, So I'm going to give

594
00:28:55.880 --> 00:28:59.119
<v Speaker 2>you this magic wand what would you like people to

595
00:28:59.200 --> 00:29:02.119
<v Speaker 2>know about this, because I'm sure you would ask for

596
00:29:02.200 --> 00:29:05.119
<v Speaker 2>more people to show up and be more engaged, and

597
00:29:05.200 --> 00:29:06.759
<v Speaker 2>how maybe help with that and out what would you

598
00:29:06.799 --> 00:29:09.640
<v Speaker 2>maybe give one or two thoughts to people who don't know.

599
00:29:11.079 --> 00:29:13.160
<v Speaker 5>I think that people need to come out and see

600
00:29:13.200 --> 00:29:16.759
<v Speaker 5>the one. There's an entertainment level to what we do,

601
00:29:17.480 --> 00:29:20.839
<v Speaker 5>and there is a huge athleticism to what we do,

602
00:29:20.880 --> 00:29:25.079
<v Speaker 5>where it doesn't matter if you know a little gymnastics

603
00:29:25.200 --> 00:29:27.039
<v Speaker 5>or a lot or none at all, but if you

604
00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:29.759
<v Speaker 5>come and you see what our team is doing and

605
00:29:29.839 --> 00:29:34.240
<v Speaker 5>just the physical rigors of the sport, whatever workout it

606
00:29:34.279 --> 00:29:36.400
<v Speaker 5>is that you know that you might do, whether it's

607
00:29:36.480 --> 00:29:38.920
<v Speaker 5>something hard or something easy, and you come and see

608
00:29:38.920 --> 00:29:41.720
<v Speaker 5>what they have to do and the level of performance

609
00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:44.680
<v Speaker 5>that we have as a team. There's also a great

610
00:29:44.720 --> 00:29:47.119
<v Speaker 5>family value in the Kale. Tickets are not that expensive

611
00:29:47.119 --> 00:29:49.119
<v Speaker 5>and in and out in less than two hours.

612
00:29:49.440 --> 00:29:49.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

613
00:29:49.839 --> 00:29:51.359
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, we have five to six home meets a year.

614
00:29:51.400 --> 00:29:53.920
<v Speaker 5>I just asked that everyone gives us a chance. We're

615
00:29:54.000 --> 00:29:57.839
<v Speaker 5>doing some really really special things. Tucson's a great place

616
00:29:57.880 --> 00:30:02.079
<v Speaker 5>to play, regardless of whatever sport you like, you know,

617
00:30:02.559 --> 00:30:06.039
<v Speaker 5>Tucson's is an awesome place with that, and I just

618
00:30:06.039 --> 00:30:09.720
<v Speaker 5>think that if we can get more people into McHale

619
00:30:10.079 --> 00:30:12.440
<v Speaker 5>to see it, they're going to like what they see.

620
00:30:12.920 --> 00:30:14.880
<v Speaker 5>They're going they're going to enjoy it. And we've had

621
00:30:14.880 --> 00:30:17.599
<v Speaker 5>a lot of new folks this year that have come.

622
00:30:17.680 --> 00:30:20.039
<v Speaker 5>We've set up some things for kids, you know, in

623
00:30:20.119 --> 00:30:24.440
<v Speaker 5>the in the competition venue. Everyone's really enjoyed it. And

624
00:30:24.640 --> 00:30:26.359
<v Speaker 5>I definitely want to give a shout out to our

798
00:38:54.639 --> 00:38:57.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, I mean all good news seems like yeah,

799
00:38:57.559 --> 00:38:59.639
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it was tough to have Henry leave, but

800
00:38:59.679 --> 00:38:59.960
<v Speaker 3>I mean.

801
00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:02.400
<v Speaker 2>It's like, yeah, I wish you would have you know, Okay,

802
00:39:02.440 --> 00:39:04.199
<v Speaker 2>I want to be positive. I wish he would have stayed.

803
00:39:04.679 --> 00:39:06.320
<v Speaker 2>I really liked him. I really liked the way he

804
00:39:06.400 --> 00:39:10.079
<v Speaker 2>played too. But I tell you, I waka stayed. I

805
00:39:10.159 --> 00:39:13.440
<v Speaker 2>tell you what that that's a difference maker, I think, Oaka.

806
00:39:13.599 --> 00:39:15.519
<v Speaker 2>You know these guys with you know, who's I think

807
00:39:15.599 --> 00:39:17.559
<v Speaker 2>might be? And I dive, who's my kiss? The death

808
00:39:17.599 --> 00:39:21.639
<v Speaker 2>guy last year? Oh? My Deloso he was my right.

809
00:39:21.800 --> 00:39:25.119
<v Speaker 2>I think he's gonna be just a death guy again

810
00:39:25.239 --> 00:39:28.559
<v Speaker 2>because a year under his belt, maybe more confidence, maybe

811
00:39:28.599 --> 00:39:32.400
<v Speaker 2>a little stronger maybe and maybe he can shoot. He's

812
00:39:32.440 --> 00:39:36.079
<v Speaker 2>not your volume shooter. That's the other kid, right, yeah, yeah,

813
00:39:36.119 --> 00:39:38.079
<v Speaker 2>the other you know. I mean the thing is that, Look,

814
00:39:38.119 --> 00:39:40.480
<v Speaker 2>it looks like we've got some shooters. I hope that uh,

815
00:39:41.039 --> 00:39:43.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, Delorso like gets the lead out of his feet.

816
00:39:43.960 --> 00:39:46.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think he needs changed his shoes from

817
00:39:46.840 --> 00:39:49.519
<v Speaker 2>you know, steel boots, because the guy moves his feet.

818
00:39:49.599 --> 00:39:52.000
<v Speaker 3>So he's not a defender. You don't pay him to defend, Yeah,

819
00:39:52.079 --> 00:39:54.119
<v Speaker 3>you don't. You don't pay him to defend. You certainly don't.

820
00:39:54.320 --> 00:39:55.960
<v Speaker 3>But I tell you the other team knows that too.

821
00:39:56.119 --> 00:39:58.920
<v Speaker 2>It's funny. Now, guess what. You don't pay him before

822
00:39:59.000 --> 00:40:02.039
<v Speaker 2>five years ago, you don't. You're not supposed to. Now

823
00:40:02.079 --> 00:40:06.000
<v Speaker 2>you have to pay him. You gotta call, we gotta call. Hello,

824
00:40:06.079 --> 00:40:06.920
<v Speaker 2>you're on the air nine in the ball.

825
00:40:06.960 --> 00:40:07.239
<v Speaker 3>Who's this?

826
00:40:08.880 --> 00:40:09.000
<v Speaker 4>Hi?

827
00:40:09.079 --> 00:40:12.840
<v Speaker 2>Steve? This is done? Hey, what's up? Not too much?

828
00:40:12.880 --> 00:40:13.360
<v Speaker 2>I Mike?

829
00:40:13.480 --> 00:40:17.599
<v Speaker 18>I got everybody good, good good. I'm glad Mike's on

830
00:40:17.679 --> 00:40:20.199
<v Speaker 18>today so I can have my opinion. There you go,

831
00:40:20.440 --> 00:40:25.280
<v Speaker 18>not not not like the last couple of times that

832
00:40:25.360 --> 00:40:35.639
<v Speaker 18>I called not naming any names, but Troy Hutchinson. But anyway,

833
00:40:35.920 --> 00:40:41.159
<v Speaker 18>you know, everything looks good for Arizona for next year.

834
00:40:41.159 --> 00:40:45.000
<v Speaker 18>I agree with what you're saying. But what nobody's mentioning

835
00:40:45.239 --> 00:40:50.960
<v Speaker 18>is greeb Us has a foot injury. Aristotle has a

836
00:40:50.960 --> 00:40:57.480
<v Speaker 18>foot injury. And these these are not ballerina dancers. These

837
00:40:57.519 --> 00:41:04.599
<v Speaker 18>are big guys. And you know, wasn't it wasn't it

838
00:41:04.639 --> 00:41:08.199
<v Speaker 18>Bill Walton's feet that did him in? You know it's

839
00:41:08.239 --> 00:41:12.199
<v Speaker 18>it's it's like like that's the part that makes me

840
00:41:12.320 --> 00:41:14.920
<v Speaker 18>nervous because we could be in the same boat again

841
00:41:14.960 --> 00:41:17.920
<v Speaker 18>where we could lose a guy, lose two guys, we

842
00:41:17.960 --> 00:41:23.199
<v Speaker 18>could lose completely different guys. But uh that that part

843
00:41:23.599 --> 00:41:28.000
<v Speaker 18>kind of it worries me just a little bit. I hope,

844
00:41:28.039 --> 00:41:31.320
<v Speaker 18>I hope that everything goes well and these guys get

845
00:41:31.679 --> 00:41:33.239
<v Speaker 18>plenty time enough to heal.

846
00:41:33.800 --> 00:41:36.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, we got to call it. It's Troy Hutcherson. I think

847
00:41:36.280 --> 00:41:41.280
<v Speaker 2>he's once to tell you that it's only it's only April. Relax. Relax.

848
00:41:41.800 --> 00:41:45.039
<v Speaker 18>Well, I mean, the thing is is Crebas ain't gonna

849
00:41:45.039 --> 00:41:46.480
<v Speaker 18>get any smaller come October.

850
00:41:46.480 --> 00:41:48.199
<v Speaker 2>Well, he's not gonna get any faster. He's not gonna

851
00:41:48.199 --> 00:41:51.199
<v Speaker 2>get any faster either. Yeah, yeah, that that either.

852
00:41:51.519 --> 00:41:53.679
<v Speaker 18>Luckily, he's got big he's got a lot of rains.

853
00:41:53.679 --> 00:41:58.280
<v Speaker 18>He didn't have to take that many steps, but he's.

854
00:41:57.360 --> 00:42:00.000
<v Speaker 2>Just such a big force he needs to. You can't

855
00:42:00.079 --> 00:42:01.960
<v Speaker 2>ask a dude like that to be more mobile because

856
00:42:02.280 --> 00:42:03.199
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if he can be.

857
00:42:03.679 --> 00:42:09.000
<v Speaker 3>You wish he would be. Well, Henry can be a

858
00:42:09.000 --> 00:42:09.920
<v Speaker 3>big force in the middle.

859
00:42:09.960 --> 00:42:12.840
<v Speaker 2>That's it. I agree, Henry.

860
00:42:12.960 --> 00:42:16.320
<v Speaker 18>Henry was was like if he if he'd have stayed

861
00:42:16.360 --> 00:42:19.039
<v Speaker 18>and developed a little bit more, how much how scary

862
00:42:19.119 --> 00:42:22.199
<v Speaker 18>would he be? Because he's he He could be your

863
00:42:22.280 --> 00:42:26.440
<v Speaker 18>four yep and and Crevas stays in the middle and

864
00:42:26.880 --> 00:42:29.159
<v Speaker 18>try to get a shot off. No, you have, especially

865
00:42:29.159 --> 00:42:33.440
<v Speaker 18>in this especially in mid range, you know Big twelve,

866
00:42:33.519 --> 00:42:35.079
<v Speaker 18>because there's a lot of guys take a lot of

867
00:42:35.079 --> 00:42:36.599
<v Speaker 18>mid range shots in the Big twelve.

868
00:42:36.760 --> 00:42:41.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I would have really liked to Henry Crevas a waka.

869
00:42:42.119 --> 00:42:43.440
<v Speaker 18>Just on the floor at the same time.

870
00:42:43.559 --> 00:42:46.119
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, no, but just just a little combination

871
00:42:46.400 --> 00:42:48.480
<v Speaker 2>with your other dude, that rotation.

872
00:42:48.440 --> 00:42:52.320
<v Speaker 18>That rotation, none of them would get tired. That would

873
00:42:52.320 --> 00:42:53.280
<v Speaker 18>have been so awesome.

874
00:42:53.599 --> 00:42:53.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

875
00:42:54.079 --> 00:42:55.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that may be why I would have been. That

876
00:42:55.840 --> 00:42:57.639
<v Speaker 3>may be why Henry left. You maybe didn't want to

877
00:42:57.679 --> 00:42:59.679
<v Speaker 3>be part of that rotation. He wanted to get a

878
00:42:59.679 --> 00:43:01.519
<v Speaker 3>little more playing time. Hey, don we gotta go. We

879

00:43:06.079 --> 00:43:08.079
<v Speaker 2>we got another call. Hello, you're on the air. Nine

882
00:43:08.079 --> 00:43:13.119
<v Speaker 2>in the wall. Who's this? Hello? Hello? Who's this?

887
00:43:20.159 --> 00:43:21.719
<v Speaker 4>I mean, it's nice to have a walk up back

888
00:43:21.719 --> 00:43:24.719
<v Speaker 4>and everything. It was what the Tennessee football team did.

889
00:43:25.239 --> 00:43:28.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and we were going to talk about it, but

890
00:43:28.440 --> 00:43:29.800
<v Speaker 2>go ahead and say what you're gonna say.

891
00:43:30.639 --> 00:43:33.239
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean I think it's about time someone said, hey,

892
00:43:33.519 --> 00:43:36.320
<v Speaker 4>enough is enough. Yeah, you know, and I think more

893
00:43:36.360 --> 00:43:39.599
<v Speaker 4>schools have to do it. But unfortunately, uh, it's not

894
00:43:39.639 --> 00:43:42.639
<v Speaker 4>going to happen. You know, it's got to happen. Something

895
00:43:42.719 --> 00:43:44.119
<v Speaker 4>that has to be a stop to this somehow.

896
00:43:44.280 --> 00:43:45.159
<v Speaker 2>I mean the kids.

897
00:43:45.599 --> 00:43:48.320
<v Speaker 5>Okay, I he basically made an I don't.

898
00:43:48.159 --> 00:43:50.159
<v Speaker 4>Know if he signed a contract or made an agreement

899
00:43:50.239 --> 00:43:52.800
<v Speaker 4>or something in writing whatever you know it. Firstly, I

900
00:43:52.800 --> 00:43:56.039
<v Speaker 4>guess it was like eight million for four years, basically

901
00:43:56.079 --> 00:43:58.039
<v Speaker 4>what it is if you didn't go to this draft.

902
00:43:58.719 --> 00:44:01.400
<v Speaker 4>And then he finds out those the quarterbacks and transferred

903
00:44:01.400 --> 00:44:04.320
<v Speaker 4>back and somebody else made four million. He says, well,

904
00:44:04.320 --> 00:44:06.280
<v Speaker 4>I want money too. I want all that money too,

905
00:44:06.320 --> 00:44:08.760
<v Speaker 4>and it's just got to stop.

906
00:44:09.800 --> 00:44:12.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, look you're like you just said, it might

907
00:44:12.159 --> 00:44:14.400
<v Speaker 2>stop in some place and might not stop in other places,

908
00:44:15.039 --> 00:44:16.800
<v Speaker 2>but that's the world we live. It sucks to me.

909
00:44:18.079 --> 00:44:19.800
<v Speaker 2>Mike and I were talking about that before the show.

910
00:44:20.119 --> 00:44:22.519
<v Speaker 2>To me, I love my job, I love what I do.

911
00:44:22.760 --> 00:44:24.320
<v Speaker 2>I hate that part of the job and I'm not

912
00:44:24.360 --> 00:44:26.199
<v Speaker 2>even involved. I just have to write about and talk

913
00:44:26.239 --> 00:44:29.159
<v Speaker 2>about it. But but it's just so sad what we've

914
00:44:29.159 --> 00:44:32.519
<v Speaker 2>come to with sports at the college level, right right.

915
00:44:32.599 --> 00:44:35.000
<v Speaker 4>You know, it's just you know, I know, it's free agency,

916
00:44:35.000 --> 00:44:37.559
<v Speaker 4>and I understand it that you know, these kids want to,

917
00:44:37.639 --> 00:44:41.320
<v Speaker 4>you know, strike while the iron's hot and everything, but still,

918
00:44:41.440 --> 00:44:45.719
<v Speaker 4>I mean, if you put kind of like it's like

919
00:44:45.800 --> 00:44:48.039
<v Speaker 4>blackmailing the school if you don't do this, and I'm

920
00:44:48.079 --> 00:44:50.159
<v Speaker 4>not gonna do anything for you, you know, But it

921
00:44:50.199 --> 00:44:52.400
<v Speaker 4>also too but you're black milliing the school, you're black

922
00:44:52.400 --> 00:44:56.039
<v Speaker 4>million the fans at the same time. Yeah, this stuff,

923
00:44:56.159 --> 00:44:59.920
<v Speaker 4>this stuff just turns fans off the college sports.

924
00:44:59.559 --> 00:45:03.119
<v Speaker 3>Now, no, no question question. Yeah, the pie is going

925
00:45:03.199 --> 00:45:06.079
<v Speaker 3>to get smaller with that. The Uh yeah. So this guy,

926
00:45:06.119 --> 00:45:09.159
<v Speaker 3>I guess uh was part of a number of athletes

927
00:45:09.199 --> 00:45:12.360
<v Speaker 3>who said he if you want me to play in

928
00:45:12.360 --> 00:45:15.039
<v Speaker 3>a bowl game, it's it's scary enough to pay me more.

929
00:45:15.400 --> 00:45:15.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

930
00:45:15.920 --> 00:45:16.400
<v Speaker 4>Uh right?

931
00:45:16.960 --> 00:45:18.440
<v Speaker 3>Did it come from him or his dad? I heard

932
00:45:18.440 --> 00:45:20.280
<v Speaker 3>his dad was involved somehow. Well, I'm sure his dad

933
00:45:20.320 --> 00:45:23.559
<v Speaker 3>is involved. He's got a whole entourage, agents family. I mean,

934
00:45:23.599 --> 00:45:25.800
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if he ever speaks for himself.

935
00:45:25.800 --> 00:45:27.760
<v Speaker 2>Brian, this is a personal question. Let me ask you

936
00:45:27.760 --> 00:45:29.920
<v Speaker 2>a personal question because I have Mike. He's a booster too,

937
00:45:30.320 --> 00:45:33.639
<v Speaker 2>He's a lum. I want to see you buy tickets, right, Mike,

938
00:45:33.719 --> 00:45:37.119
<v Speaker 2>I do you do you give a little scratch to

939
00:45:37.199 --> 00:45:39.679
<v Speaker 2>the teams, the guys. No.

940
00:45:40.000 --> 00:45:44.800
<v Speaker 4>I I buy the tickets, thesent tickets, whatever. And that's it,

941
00:45:45.039 --> 00:45:48.880
<v Speaker 4>you know, And it's I mean, it's these tickets have

942
00:45:48.880 --> 00:45:52.760
<v Speaker 4>gotten more expensive. Yeah, and I can't see paying more

943
00:45:52.760 --> 00:45:55.559
<v Speaker 4>for the tickets than there going. Okay, I'm going to

944
00:45:55.599 --> 00:45:57.159
<v Speaker 4>get more money to a spoiled kid.

945
00:45:57.599 --> 00:46:01.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, you're not alone. You're not alone especially

946
00:46:01.360 --> 00:46:03.159
<v Speaker 2>and I know you probably don't make one point five

947
00:46:03.239 --> 00:46:06.639
<v Speaker 2>two million dollars a year. Get you're giving people who

948
00:46:06.679 --> 00:46:08.039
<v Speaker 2>make that more money.

949
00:46:08.840 --> 00:46:13.239
<v Speaker 4>Right, It's hard. It's hard for me. I'm retired. It's

950
00:46:13.239 --> 00:46:15.199
<v Speaker 4>hard for me to want to get money to somebody

951
00:46:15.239 --> 00:46:17.159
<v Speaker 4>who's going to make two or three times the money

952
00:46:17.159 --> 00:46:17.480
<v Speaker 4>I make.

953
00:46:17.679 --> 00:46:21.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, right exactly, you know. And it's like, well,

954
00:46:21.480 --> 00:46:22.679
<v Speaker 3>you know, I'd like to have a good team. You know,

955
00:46:22.719 --> 00:46:24.519
<v Speaker 3>if you want to have a good team, you got

956
00:46:24.559 --> 00:46:26.920
<v Speaker 3>to do this. I'm like, we're all rod team. I'll

957
00:46:26.960 --> 00:46:29.519
<v Speaker 3>still see you from the side. Yeah, I'm gonna get

958
00:46:29.519 --> 00:46:33.280
<v Speaker 3>to jeopardize my retirement so somebody can, like some spoiled kid,

959
00:46:33.360 --> 00:46:35.679
<v Speaker 3>can you know, buy another car.

960
00:46:36.800 --> 00:46:39.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. And with that settlement from the NC Double A,

961
00:46:39.639 --> 00:46:41.239
<v Speaker 4>it's probably going to get worse because it's going to

962
00:46:41.280 --> 00:46:44.880
<v Speaker 4>be more money involved now. And unfortunately, the lesser sports,

963
00:46:45.239 --> 00:46:46.440
<v Speaker 4>you know, are going to be the ones who are

964
00:46:46.440 --> 00:46:48.559
<v Speaker 4>gonna get screwed on off this whole thing. Well, because

965
00:46:48.559 --> 00:46:50.440
<v Speaker 4>you're you're not going to have you know, you're not

966
00:46:50.440 --> 00:46:53.440
<v Speaker 4>gonna have a lot of money for baseball tennis, golf,

967
00:46:53.559 --> 00:46:55.239
<v Speaker 4>you know gymnastics that you're talking about.

968
00:46:55.280 --> 00:46:57.559
<v Speaker 2>Well, you saw the uproar basketball, we'll get it all.

969
00:46:57.760 --> 00:47:00.480
<v Speaker 2>You saw the uproar with the DA only getting two

970
00:47:00.480 --> 00:47:02.800
<v Speaker 2>to four percent of whatever they're going to get, right,

971
00:47:02.880 --> 00:47:03.960
<v Speaker 2>and that was hard all done.

972
00:47:05.079 --> 00:47:08.079
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and I understand you know how you know how

973
00:47:08.119 --> 00:47:10.199
<v Speaker 4>she feels. You know, she needs to go to a place.

974
00:47:10.239 --> 00:47:13.719
<v Speaker 4>And fortunately now in coaching, it's also you need to

975
00:47:13.719 --> 00:47:15.599
<v Speaker 4>figure out a place I can go right and get

976
00:47:15.599 --> 00:47:18.840
<v Speaker 4>money so I can recruit, you know. And before when

977
00:47:18.920 --> 00:47:22.400
<v Speaker 4>she first started recruiting, it was a pretty level playing field,

978
00:47:22.920 --> 00:47:25.400
<v Speaker 4>you know. I mean, I know there was money passed

979
00:47:25.400 --> 00:47:27.639
<v Speaker 4>from my only camp by and not be naive about it.

980
00:47:27.880 --> 00:47:30.519
<v Speaker 4>There was stuff that was going on. But now that

981
00:47:30.559 --> 00:47:32.519
<v Speaker 4>it's all out in the open, it's even worse.

982
00:47:32.920 --> 00:47:36.519
<v Speaker 2>Right right, Okay, thanks Brian has always, thanks for calling,
