<v Speaker 2>same day.

12
00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:33.119
<v Speaker 4>So you have breaking news there, coch Yep, we got

13
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:37.479
<v Speaker 4>some stuff. Former Arizona guarden Mike Bibbie named Sacramento State

14
00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:38.039
<v Speaker 4>head coach.

15
00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:39.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

16
00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:41.640
<v Speaker 2>Does it say anything about his contract too, We already

17
00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:44.960
<v Speaker 2>went to show not going to be very much.

18
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:48.280
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, sax State. What are they in Divisional one? I

19
00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:50.920
<v Speaker 5>think they are they are, Yeah, I think they're very small.

20
00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:53.240
<v Speaker 5>They played Arizona a few times years, would be like

21
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:55.560
<v Speaker 5>an early season game here, so that'll be you know,

22
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:58.479
<v Speaker 5>it's kind of curious, but we'll see that if that's

23
00:00:58.479 --> 00:00:59.880
<v Speaker 5>what he wants to do, and maybe, like you said,

24
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:02.799
<v Speaker 5>it could be a stepping stone to something something else.

25
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:06.599
<v Speaker 2>I have no doubt, no doubt that he's gonna do well.

26
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:09.959
<v Speaker 2>He's a he's a tough coach. He's a tough coach.

27
00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:12.519
<v Speaker 2>He and this is totally different because he did his

28
00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:15.079
<v Speaker 2>high school coaching stint and might he won a number

29
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:15.719
<v Speaker 2>of titles.

30
00:01:16.359 --> 00:01:17.319
<v Speaker 3>He's a tough dude.

31
00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:22.519
<v Speaker 2>He's a demanding dude, and almost almost unlike today's coaches,

32
00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:26.840
<v Speaker 2>he's probably a little tough on him.

33
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:27.120
<v Speaker 3>I would think. So he's kind of old school.

34
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:29.319
<v Speaker 5>And you know, his father was quite the coach and

35
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:32.719
<v Speaker 5>quite the player himself, so you know, I know they

36
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:37.760
<v Speaker 5>weren't close in his adult years, but still, you know,

37
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:41.280
<v Speaker 5>there has to be some some genetic connections there.

38
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:42.480
<v Speaker 3>Between him and he knows the game.

39
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:45.840
<v Speaker 2>And the one thing that made Bibby Bibbi was he

40
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:50.319
<v Speaker 2>was a smart i Q guy, right and any you

41
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:54.239
<v Speaker 2>fundamentally exactly, And that's that's what makes good coaches. I mean,

42
00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:55.400
<v Speaker 2>Miles was the same way.

43
00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:58.519
<v Speaker 5>But sometimes those guys don't make great coaches because they're

44
00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:00.480
<v Speaker 5>expecting their players to.

45
00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:03.319
<v Speaker 3>Well, to be like them. Yeah yeah, Michael Jordan like me,

46
00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:07.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah true, Yeah, Okay.

47
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:12.840
<v Speaker 4>Two more enter transfer portal for Arizona women's basketball. Skyler

48
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:17.120
<v Speaker 4>Jones was a late corner to Arizona's highly ranked sophomore class.

49
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:21.319
<v Speaker 4>The the athletic guard was originally committed to Missouri, enjoyed

50
00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:28.039
<v Speaker 4>the Wildcats after decommitting from the Tigers. Katrina Zevich was

51
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:32.000
<v Speaker 4>a late corner for the year's freshman class. But that's

52
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:34.560
<v Speaker 4>the case with many international players. Both will be entering

53
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:35.080
<v Speaker 4>the portal.

54
00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:41.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, she has work to do. Yeah, that was yesterday's Jada.

55
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:46.120
<v Speaker 2>That's four big So I don't know, you know, there's

56
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:48.919
<v Speaker 2>so many things happen, Yeah, yeah, so many things, so

57
00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:51.960
<v Speaker 2>many variable variables to the story. I would think that

58
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:55.719
<v Speaker 2>the coaching question has to be answered maybe first before

59
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:59.159
<v Speaker 2>players are going to want to come here wondering who

60
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:00.800
<v Speaker 2>the coach is going to be, Right, can still be

61
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:03.800
<v Speaker 2>the same situation, right, well, you yeah, you can't make

62
00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:05.400
<v Speaker 2>that move unless you really definitely know.

63
00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:08.000
<v Speaker 5>And everybody's in a rush, and you know, players are

64
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:10.639
<v Speaker 5>going to be jumping in into their under their new teams,

65
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:13.560
<v Speaker 5>probably by this weekend. I would think it goes fast.

66
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:17.479
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, no, lusus yeah, and then they change your mind, players.

67
00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:19.439
<v Speaker 5>Get eliminated on Thursday or like on the men's side,

68
00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:21.759
<v Speaker 5>you know, the lose teams that lose on Thursday and Friday,

69
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:23.000
<v Speaker 5>I'm gonna leave.

70
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:25.599
<v Speaker 3>They're on a new team by Monday, Yeah, somewhere else.

71
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:28.159
<v Speaker 2>And who knows what happens to the to the guy side,

72
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:31.159
<v Speaker 2>the men's side, because you know, well you saw the

73
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:33.680
<v Speaker 2>Borovich do fairly well in New Mexico.

74
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:34.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, help them.

75
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:37.599
<v Speaker 2>And then the kid I can't Marshal nis Is, who's

76
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:41.080
<v Speaker 2>the guy Makovis? Or he went to Saint Claire.

77
00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:42.680
<v Speaker 3>I think he did. He did it well there, they

78
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:43.639
<v Speaker 3>didn't get into the tournament.

79
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:50.159
<v Speaker 5>Getting back to Bibbi, they say he's worth sixty million dollars.

80
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:51.879
<v Speaker 3>Now he's worth I don't.

81
00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:54.159
<v Speaker 5>Think whatever his contract is just going to be a

82
00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:56.560
<v Speaker 5>little extra added on to what he's worth.

83
00:03:56.599 --> 00:03:58.159
<v Speaker 3>But I mean he made a lot of money as

84
00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:00.960
<v Speaker 3>a pro. He was there fourteen year. Yeah, he made

85
00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:04.560
<v Speaker 3>you know over one hundred million dollars player Oh that much? Yeah.

86
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:07.439
<v Speaker 5>So again this is I think you know, he's probably

87
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:09.280
<v Speaker 5>looking at this as just an opportunity to see do

88
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:09.759
<v Speaker 5>I like this?

89
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:10.400
<v Speaker 3>Do I want to do?

90
00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:13.039
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, there's no doubt that he wants to do this. Yeah,

91
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:17.079
<v Speaker 2>he's ninety seven, right, he was going to be nineteen

92
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:20.839
<v Speaker 2>and twenty. He's gotta be about forty eight ish. Does

93
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:23.560
<v Speaker 2>it say his age about forty eight? Forty seven?

94
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:27.480
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, born in nineteen seventy eight, so forty seven. Yeah,

95
00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:29.480
<v Speaker 5>just had his birthday. Yeah, no, no, he's going to

96
00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:30.519
<v Speaker 5>have his birthday, his birthday.

97
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:32.959
<v Speaker 2>One of the connections is his birthday is a day

98
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:38.800
<v Speaker 2>after mine many years later. Yeah, me many yearsly yeah. Yeah, gosh,

99
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:39.360
<v Speaker 2>you know when.

100
00:04:39.240 --> 00:04:41.199
<v Speaker 5>He's a legend in Sacramento too, So that's going to

101
00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:43.439
<v Speaker 5>probably be a little bit helpful in terms of marketing

102
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:44.959
<v Speaker 5>the team, and people are gonna want to come out.

103
00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:45.480
<v Speaker 3>And see him play.

104
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:50.399
<v Speaker 5>They bet you know, history there had his his best

105
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:51.720
<v Speaker 5>years was with the Kings.

106
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:53.079
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Chris Webber.

<v Speaker 4>Okay, unlv hires u of a alum, Josh Passner.

00:04:58.120 --> 00:04:59.120
<v Speaker 3>Yep, yep.

109
00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:01.920
<v Speaker 2>We said that fight saw about nine hundred thousand dollars

110
00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:03.720
<v Speaker 2>a year about Yeah.

111
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:07.439
<v Speaker 5>I mean coaches are being poached out of ESPN these

112
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:08.160
<v Speaker 5>days like they.

113
00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:09.120
<v Speaker 3>Used to do. Yeah.

114
00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:11.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know that's the whole thing. I don't know

115
00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:12.959
<v Speaker 2>if it's for the good or bad day. But but

116
00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:15.360
<v Speaker 2>people who watch that and they listen to these guys,

117
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:17.360
<v Speaker 2>they think, oh, they know what they're talking about.

118
00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:19.160
<v Speaker 3>But does it translate?

119
00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:21.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know who's the guy that with the GM

120
00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:24.480
<v Speaker 2>at the at the Detroit Lions many years ago?

121
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:25.680
<v Speaker 6>Uh?

122
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:27.439
<v Speaker 3>Good, Dudet Mill.

123
00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:32.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, maybe he made his mark in the TV booth

124
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:34.759
<v Speaker 2>and then the hired him. The one that it didn't

125
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:36.759
<v Speaker 2>work out. The guy that's we're doing it is the

126
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:43.839
<v Speaker 2>San Francisco Jim, the forty nine ers running back.

127
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:47.920
<v Speaker 3>I think give me a couple of more hints.

128
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:53.240
<v Speaker 2>San Francisco forty nine ers Jim. Yeah, I think so.

129
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:56.279
<v Speaker 3>John Lynch was, Yeah, he was the dB. I think

130
00:05:56.279 --> 00:05:58.120
<v Speaker 3>that's that's him. I think that's it. I think that's

131
00:05:58.279 --> 00:05:59.920
<v Speaker 3>he was. He was on the air, Yeah he was.

132
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:02.399
<v Speaker 2>But you know what I'm saying, that's where they get expected.

133
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:05.399
<v Speaker 2>Josh is on the earth. He's That's why I joked

134
00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:07.360
<v Speaker 2>with him before, says, why would you want to go coach?

135
00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:09.120
<v Speaker 2>You don't have to deal with all that craft. You're

136
00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:10.639
<v Speaker 2>good at what you do here. He said, no, no,

137
00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:11.279
<v Speaker 2>I want to coach.

138
00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:12.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's in their blood.

139
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:15.160
<v Speaker 5>But it's interesting because you know, you're right, these guys

140
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:18.839
<v Speaker 5>that get these positions where they leave the sport, leave

141
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:20.720
<v Speaker 5>the coaching profession for a good year or two.

142
00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:22.120
<v Speaker 3>Sometimes happens all the time.

143
00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:23.839
<v Speaker 5>They go on TV and they sit there and watch

144
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:26.879
<v Speaker 5>and they kind of, you know, whatever problems they may

145
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:29.560
<v Speaker 5>have had JJ Reddick, you know in their last job

146
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:31.839
<v Speaker 5>that kind of gets washed away.

147
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:32.399
<v Speaker 3>I'll give you no.

148
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:37.040
<v Speaker 2>Steve Kerr, you know, he's kind of an exception. He's

149
00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:39.199
<v Speaker 2>more of a people person too. I think you have

150
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:39.720
<v Speaker 2>to be that.

151
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:41.839
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, we were talking about I was talking about him

152
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:44.959
<v Speaker 5>with some friends and family this weekend, just about you know, isn't.

153
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:46.959
<v Speaker 3>He going to go into politics? I mean, what's what

154
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:49.279
<v Speaker 3>does he want to do. I wouldn't I wouldn't doubt that,

155
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:52.399
<v Speaker 3>But why would he do that? Yeah, I mean yeah,

156
00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:53.160
<v Speaker 3>who knows.

157
00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:56.600
<v Speaker 5>But I mean I think he's he's positioned himself to

158
00:06:56.680 --> 00:06:59.360
<v Speaker 5>go in many different directions with if he wants to stop,

159
00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:00.800
<v Speaker 5>I think he's probably go to the end of the

160
00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:03.639
<v Speaker 5>Steph Curry contract whenever that is soon, I would think

161
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:05.600
<v Speaker 5>in the next couple of years, and then maybe make

162
00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:08.600
<v Speaker 5>a move at that point to whatever is next, either

163
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:10.680
<v Speaker 5>going back to you know, running a team or back

164
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:11.879

168
00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:21.920
<v Speaker 5>he doesn't need the money, but does he want to

169
00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:23.839
<v Speaker 5>stay connected to the game that might be open.

170
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:27.360
<v Speaker 3>And he's fifty eight ish, I think Okay.

171
00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:30.399

375
00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:05.160
<v Speaker 5>we don't have to bore him with this story. But

376
00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:08.160
<v Speaker 5>I was working one of my second TV job was

377
00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:11.039
<v Speaker 5>in San Luis Obispo, California, and he was at you see,

378
00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:14.559
<v Speaker 5>Santa Barbara. So we were like, we would cover their games.

379
00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:15.079
<v Speaker 12>You know.

380
00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:17.000

00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:24.960
<v Speaker 5>State was part of the right in San Diego State

384
00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:26.680
<v Speaker 5>when I was in college, we were in the PC

385
00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:30.160
<v Speaker 5>Double before we moved over into the whack of Arizona

386
00:17:31.640 --> 00:17:32.319
<v Speaker 5>mid seventies.

387
00:17:32.359 --> 00:17:34.799
<v Speaker 2>Oh okay, because I was in the mid eighties and

388
00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:36.960
<v Speaker 2>that's but.

389
00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:38.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, hot Ben Holland was.

390
00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:41.240
<v Speaker 5>You know, he was an assistant coach there for a

391
00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:42.960
<v Speaker 5>long time before he got the head coach.

392
00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:44.839
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

393
00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:47.960
<v Speaker 5>I don't think I ever saw him personally, but we

394
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:56.240
<v Speaker 5>would cover their games and we'd show highlights, okay, some

395
00:17:56.279 --> 00:17:56.960
<v Speaker 5>old time.

396
00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:05.400
<v Speaker 2>All right, Yeah, so we'll bring that up. And I

397
00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:07.640
<v Speaker 2>have some people here in town that wanted.

398
00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:09.400
<v Speaker 5>To say, who had quite a run there in those

399
00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:12.519
<v Speaker 5>three years.

400
00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:14.039
<v Speaker 2>I went to those final fours, and I thought it

401
00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:14.480
<v Speaker 2>was just two.

402
00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:18.000
<v Speaker 3>I think it's three. Looks like here on Basketball Reference.

403
00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:21.559
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I'm not gonna question that. I questioned myself before

404
00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:27.839
<v Speaker 2>I questioned that. Yeah, players, he also had what's his name?

405
00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:30.359
<v Speaker 2>They had two guys. You had Westbrook, right, and they

406
00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:37.240
<v Speaker 2>had the big guy reboundery. God, my memories killing me.

407
00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:39.640
<v Speaker 2>I'll be like, Jay, you're right that guy, that guy.

408
00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:43.960
<v Speaker 3>NBA career. We paid for him. I thought he played

409
00:18:43.960 --> 00:18:47.240
<v Speaker 3>for Steve. I don't know exactly. Maybe there's some kind

410
00:18:47.240 --> 00:18:51.799
<v Speaker 3>of overlap. Maybe that. Okay, we gotta call hello, coaches,

419
00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:22.440
<v Speaker 6>I mean, Colorado State was so impressive. What a heart

420
00:19:23.160 --> 00:19:26.480
<v Speaker 6>gut renter for that was. But you just loved to see,

421
00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:31.680
<v Speaker 6>you know, teams this time of year playing their very best.

422
00:19:31.799 --> 00:19:35.440
<v Speaker 6>And I remember the last time I was on with you, Steve,

423
00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:39.000
<v Speaker 6>I believe you know, that was way back in late

424
00:19:39.039 --> 00:19:45.319
<v Speaker 6>December early January, and I'll tell you what, Arizona sure

425
00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:49.160
<v Speaker 6>had a great season and I have a chance now

426
00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:53.039
<v Speaker 6>to beat the number one team in Duke. So I

427
00:19:53.079 --> 00:19:57.400
<v Speaker 6>hope the fans there in Tucson and everywhere that follow

428
00:19:57.400 --> 00:20:00.160
<v Speaker 6>the Wildcats are really happy and proud of their team

429
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:02.200
<v Speaker 6>and proud of the fact they got such a great

430
00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:06.519
<v Speaker 6>coach and Tommy Lloyd because he's done a masterful job,

431
00:20:06.599 --> 00:20:10.319
<v Speaker 6>and you know, watching and following them, that half court

432
00:20:10.599 --> 00:20:16.680
<v Speaker 6>actually a three quarter court yeah shot game was incredible.

433
00:20:16.960 --> 00:20:20.480
<v Speaker 5>I mean, what a year, right, yeah, I mean, and

434
00:20:20.519 --> 00:20:23.319
<v Speaker 5>he's been very very consistent really the last I don't

435
00:20:23.319 --> 00:20:25.039
<v Speaker 5>know what, four or five games. That's kind of what

436
00:20:25.079 --> 00:20:27.079
<v Speaker 5>everyone's kind of been waiting for, is they don't want

437
00:20:27.079 --> 00:20:29.920
<v Speaker 5>to have that game where he's gonna go four for

438
00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:32.079
<v Speaker 5>seventeen or something like that. But he's been pretty good

439
00:20:32.079 --> 00:20:34.039
<v Speaker 5>about that most of the season and not really having

440
00:20:34.359 --> 00:20:39.559
<v Speaker 5>too big of a plump in the middle of a

441
00:20:39.640 --> 00:20:42.039
<v Speaker 5>game sometimes. So it's great if he can just be

442
00:20:42.079 --> 00:20:44.640
<v Speaker 5>consistent because they seem to have the right ingredients.

443
00:20:46.079 --> 00:20:48.720
<v Speaker 6>He's known to be pretty good this time of year.

444
00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:55.160
<v Speaker 6>He has a good track record, and you know that

445
00:20:55.279 --> 00:20:59.240
<v Speaker 6>one little play that they kept running over and over again.

446
00:20:59.279 --> 00:21:02.920
<v Speaker 6>In the last was really effective where he ended up

447
00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:06.359
<v Speaker 6>top the keys or the wide open tree or opportunity

448
00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:09.759
<v Speaker 6>to penetrate and drive. But he's played great. You know,

449
00:21:09.799 --> 00:21:13.160
<v Speaker 6>your stars are stepping up this time of year, and

450
00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:15.720
<v Speaker 6>he's definitely been their start of the last two years.

451
00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:19.759
<v Speaker 6>But I'm just excited for the tournament.

452
00:21:20.039 --> 00:21:20.200
<v Speaker 13>You know.

453
00:21:20.279 --> 00:21:24.519
<v Speaker 6>It's really interesting though, when you look at NIL and

454
00:21:24.640 --> 00:21:28.720
<v Speaker 6>how much that's impacted the game. Now that everybody left,

455
00:21:28.880 --> 00:21:32.960
<v Speaker 6>there's a power for conference, you know, with seven SEC,

456
00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:37.759
<v Speaker 6>four Big twelve, four Big ten and only one from

457
00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:43.400
<v Speaker 6>the ACC which hasn't happened in like the round of

458
00:21:43.440 --> 00:21:48.279
<v Speaker 6>thirty two in like fifty years. Wow, you know, and

459
00:21:49.440 --> 00:21:53.240
<v Speaker 6>you can tell who's got the most NIL. And it

460
00:21:53.279 --> 00:21:57.079
<v Speaker 6>starts with the SEC quickly followed by the Big ten

461
00:21:57.160 --> 00:21:58.000
<v Speaker 6>and the Big twelve.

462
00:21:58.039 --> 00:21:58.759
<v Speaker 3>That's the deal.

463
00:21:58.920 --> 00:22:00.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we talked about that, your coach, you know what,

464
00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:05.400
<v Speaker 2>you talk about the nil and athletes and best best athletes.

465
00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:08.400
<v Speaker 2>But you know what, I'm still a believer and the

466
00:22:08.519 --> 00:22:11.680
<v Speaker 2>coaching matters. So coaching matters. I mean, you can have

467
00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:14.319
<v Speaker 2>the talent of the wazoo and if you can't coach,

468
00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:18.039
<v Speaker 2>you won't get there. Because I still believe guys like you. You

469
00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:21.240
<v Speaker 2>got there three straight times, right, that didn't happen by accident.

470
00:22:21.519 --> 00:22:25.000
<v Speaker 2>That didn't happen by accident one thousand percent.

471
00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:31.119
<v Speaker 6>That's why Uh, I got a little uh talked from

472
00:22:31.240 --> 00:22:33.599
<v Speaker 6>with you guys last time about well the fans aren't

473
00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:36.799
<v Speaker 6>there and happy right now with Tommy. It's like, I,

474
00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:41.000
<v Speaker 6>as a fellow coach, was just amazed because I don't

475
00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:44.599
<v Speaker 6>think they know what they have in him, and I

476
00:22:44.640 --> 00:22:50.200
<v Speaker 6>think he is really special and incredibly consistent and has

477
00:22:50.319 --> 00:22:54.279
<v Speaker 6>been a part of winning for two decades. Uh. And

478
00:22:54.359 --> 00:22:57.599
<v Speaker 6>I think you know, the coaches that remained, You know,

479
00:22:57.720 --> 00:23:03.279
<v Speaker 6>the coaching profession is so rich with talent, but you know,

480
00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:07.559
<v Speaker 6>the cream rise to the top, and you know what

481
00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:11.200
<v Speaker 6>you have right now the tournament's left. It's it's really

482
00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:14.920
<v Speaker 6>incredible how well coached they are. All that goes into

483
00:23:14.920 --> 00:23:19.799
<v Speaker 6>the preparations reaching these games, and you know, the game

484
00:23:20.799 --> 00:23:25.119
<v Speaker 6>changing decisions that are made, you know, based on how

485
00:23:25.160 --> 00:23:29.480
<v Speaker 6>you're playing and personnel and foul trouble, et cetera. It's

486
00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:31.920
<v Speaker 6>just really interesting to watch. I mean, I love this

487
00:23:32.079 --> 00:23:34.960
<v Speaker 6>time of year. If you're at the absolute best.

488
00:23:35.359 --> 00:23:36.599
<v Speaker 3>If you were to look into like.

489
00:23:36.519 --> 00:23:38.640
<v Speaker 5>A crystal ball, do you think next year will see

490
00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:41.240
<v Speaker 5>the sort of the same thing, the effect of nil

491
00:23:41.400 --> 00:23:43.880
<v Speaker 5>and maybe this is the way college basketball is going

492
00:23:43.960 --> 00:23:45.759
<v Speaker 5>to be here moving forward.

493
00:23:46.400 --> 00:23:50.359
<v Speaker 6>I do I do believe that. I mean I believe that,

494
00:23:51.480 --> 00:23:54.440
<v Speaker 6>you know, the teams were the best players that also

495
00:23:55.119 --> 00:23:58.759
<v Speaker 6>pay to have the best coaches and coaching staffs and

496
00:23:58.839 --> 00:24:01.920
<v Speaker 6>support their program. Of the teams, they're going to win

497
00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:06.279
<v Speaker 6>and win the most consistently. So I'm not surprised at all,

498
00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:09.640
<v Speaker 6>nor will I be in the future. I mean, I

499
00:24:09.680 --> 00:24:14.039
<v Speaker 6>think you'll see, uh, you know, another league get represented.

500
00:24:14.079 --> 00:24:16.759
<v Speaker 6>Whether you know Colorado State's right there. I think it

501
00:24:16.799 --> 00:24:20.160
<v Speaker 6>comes down to the last you know, half a second

502
00:24:20.240 --> 00:24:24.279
<v Speaker 6>of the game for them to lose that game against Maryland,

503
00:24:24.359 --> 00:24:27.880
<v Speaker 6>and you talk about a great coach, Uh, you know

504
00:24:27.960 --> 00:24:32.079
<v Speaker 6>that guy has proven to me how good he is.

505
00:24:32.200 --> 00:24:36.000
<v Speaker 6>I mean, he is incredible. There's just so many good

506
00:24:36.039 --> 00:24:39.759
<v Speaker 6>coaches and it's just fun to watch them.

507
00:24:39.799 --> 00:24:42.440
<v Speaker 3>So if you've got to call X school.

508
00:24:42.839 --> 00:24:45.440
<v Speaker 2>We think we talked about this before, Ben, If you

509
00:24:45.480 --> 00:24:47.039
<v Speaker 2>got a call from X school that you wanted to

510
00:24:47.079 --> 00:24:49.440
<v Speaker 2>go to, would you give up your grandkids from coaching

511
00:24:49.480 --> 00:24:50.880
<v Speaker 2>them to go coach at school?

512
00:24:52.599 --> 00:24:57.880
<v Speaker 6>No, I'm I'm happily a spectator now from Afar.

513
00:24:59.079 --> 00:25:01.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know you see well now you see Kela

514
00:25:01.960 --> 00:25:05.200
<v Speaker 2>Partie and you see Patino and these guys are still

515
00:25:05.200 --> 00:25:05.640
<v Speaker 2>going on it.

516
00:25:05.720 --> 00:25:07.640
<v Speaker 3>Did you get a kick out of them over the

517
00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:08.240
<v Speaker 3>weekend too?

518
00:25:09.319 --> 00:25:13.039
<v Speaker 6>Absolutely? I mean you look at the numbers that they

519
00:25:13.119 --> 00:25:16.960
<v Speaker 6>put up over the years, et cetera. You know, and

520
00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:20.079
<v Speaker 6>you know, John is I think about two years younger

521
00:25:20.079 --> 00:25:23.680
<v Speaker 6>than he's probably about sixty six Rix in his seventies,

522
00:25:23.759 --> 00:25:30.119
<v Speaker 6>I can't remember exactly. You know, that's great and I'm

523
00:25:30.279 --> 00:25:34.279
<v Speaker 6>happy for them. And they have great jobs now, I

524
00:25:34.279 --> 00:25:38.440
<v Speaker 6>mean especially you know cal you're talking about money. You

525
00:25:38.440 --> 00:25:42.480
<v Speaker 6>know you have mister Walton, mister Tyson and mister Hunt.

526
00:25:42.839 --> 00:25:46.599
<v Speaker 6>There's your boosters. You got a chance to care about

527
00:25:46.599 --> 00:25:51.000
<v Speaker 6>the hogs down there in Arkansas. And what Tino did

528
00:25:51.079 --> 00:25:54.759
<v Speaker 6>at Saint John tis the first time in thirty years

529
00:25:54.799 --> 00:25:57.079
<v Speaker 6>to win the Big East. Yeah, you know, what he's

530
00:25:57.119 --> 00:26:00.440
<v Speaker 6>done is miraculous and he is one of the greatest

531
00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:04.279
<v Speaker 6>coaches ever, and that's great for them. I am really

532
00:26:04.359 --> 00:26:08.960
<v Speaker 6>happy living in Santa Barbara, California. I count my blessings

533
00:26:09.119 --> 00:26:13.079
<v Speaker 6>every day and I love ball and I loved coaching

534
00:26:13.119 --> 00:26:16.160
<v Speaker 6>that it was, you know, my life. And when you're

535
00:26:16.200 --> 00:26:19.240
<v Speaker 6>a coach in this day and age. More than any

536
00:26:19.279 --> 00:26:22.519
<v Speaker 6>a time, it is twelve months a year. There is

537
00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:25.240
<v Speaker 6>no time off. Every coach now in the country is

538
00:26:25.279 --> 00:26:28.759
<v Speaker 6>trying to put together a new team because it's musical chairs.

539
00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:32.039
<v Speaker 6>You know, I hate the more than anything. I hate

540
00:26:32.079 --> 00:26:35.480
<v Speaker 6>the portal. I know the money's great. They should have

541
00:26:35.480 --> 00:26:39.960
<v Speaker 6>a salary cap. You know, this year the cost of

542
00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:43.279
<v Speaker 6>a player is going to go up another thirty to

543
00:26:43.279 --> 00:26:45.799
<v Speaker 6>fifty percent from what it was last year. There has

544
00:26:45.920 --> 00:26:51.519
<v Speaker 6>to be, you know, a limit because you know it's

545
00:26:51.519 --> 00:26:54.480
<v Speaker 6>gonna really really didn't be the haves and have nots

546
00:26:54.880 --> 00:26:59.359
<v Speaker 6>with many less halves than there are have nots.

547
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:02.680
<v Speaker 3>And what are your thoughts on here in Tucson.

548
00:27:02.759 --> 00:27:04.720
<v Speaker 5>We've of course watched Sean Miller for a number of

549
00:27:04.799 --> 00:27:07.279
<v Speaker 5>years and him now landing. You know, it looks like

550
00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:10.039
<v Speaker 5>a great situation in Texas, speaking of money and speaking

551
00:27:10.039 --> 00:27:12.319
<v Speaker 5>of opportunities, how do you think he'll do there after?

552
00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:12.759
<v Speaker 6>You?

553
00:27:12.920 --> 00:27:13.240
<v Speaker 3>Kind of.

554
00:27:14.680 --> 00:27:16.759
<v Speaker 6>Great? I think you'll have a chance to win it all.

555
00:27:16.839 --> 00:27:21.440
<v Speaker 6>I think they have brand new facilities. Uh, you know,

556
00:27:21.799 --> 00:27:26.519
<v Speaker 6>it's a phenomenal job, unlimited resources. The only the only

557
00:27:26.599 --> 00:27:29.359
<v Speaker 6>thing that I think is a little bit of a

558
00:27:29.359 --> 00:27:32.960
<v Speaker 6>battle there is that they think basketball is what you

559
00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:38.839
<v Speaker 6>have between football and springball. You know, it's not quite

560
00:27:38.839 --> 00:27:44.359
<v Speaker 6>as important as as any as football football in the

561
00:27:44.400 --> 00:27:49.640
<v Speaker 6>state of Texas. You know, it's ridiculous the fan support,

562
00:27:49.720 --> 00:27:51.880
<v Speaker 6>but you know you're seeing a lot of schools now

563
00:27:51.960 --> 00:27:55.720
<v Speaker 6>that get that it's really something that you can have both.

564
00:27:56.039 --> 00:27:58.440
<v Speaker 6>You know, Alabama is a great example and the job

565
00:27:58.480 --> 00:28:01.240
<v Speaker 6>that Nate oas is and you know they were their

566
00:28:01.240 --> 00:28:04.799
<v Speaker 6>first Final four ever last year and there's a great

567
00:28:04.880 --> 00:28:06.920
<v Speaker 6>chance so they can get there again this year. And

568
00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:10.240
<v Speaker 6>that that's what you're seeing. You're going to see those

569
00:28:10.359 --> 00:28:15.720
<v Speaker 6>leagues SEC being number one and Big ten being one

570
00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:19.440
<v Speaker 6>B and then Big twelve being one C. You know,

571
00:28:19.480 --> 00:28:23.200
<v Speaker 6>those are the teams where they have the most resources

572
00:28:23.240 --> 00:28:30.279
<v Speaker 6>because they're fans and specifically their billionaire fans really care

573
00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:36.359
<v Speaker 6>a lot about those universities and their programs success athletically.

574
00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:39.720
<v Speaker 2>So we talked about Caleb earlier with love and not

575
00:28:39.799 --> 00:28:42.039
<v Speaker 2>that he's the only guy on this team, because he

576
00:28:42.119 --> 00:28:44.640
<v Speaker 2>has a good compliment of people. But do you back

577
00:28:44.680 --> 00:28:47.920
<v Speaker 2>in the day you had Westbrook, you had love yourself

578
00:28:47.960 --> 00:28:50.720
<v Speaker 2>another love. Did you have to write a guy one

579
00:28:50.759 --> 00:28:53.519
<v Speaker 2>guy and then hope the other guys came around or

580
00:28:53.559 --> 00:28:55.519
<v Speaker 2>did you have a complimentary group?

581
00:28:55.599 --> 00:28:56.319
<v Speaker 3>I can't remember.

582
00:28:57.799 --> 00:29:00.160
<v Speaker 6>Well, you know, we had great culture. I mean and

583
00:29:00.279 --> 00:29:03.119
<v Speaker 6>uh you talked about leadership. You know, we had Bob

584
00:29:03.160 --> 00:29:07.519
<v Speaker 6>Moute on those teams who was phenomenal and you know,

585
00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:11.119
<v Speaker 6>dirty work guy. We had guys that, uh, you know,

586
00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:15.359
<v Speaker 6>set the tone like Alfred the Boy and Lorenzo Matta.

587
00:29:15.480 --> 00:29:19.640
<v Speaker 6>But no question, you know love in Westbrook Collis and

588
00:29:19.799 --> 00:29:22.519
<v Speaker 6>you know how good was Darren Collison. He's had a

589
00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:27.079
<v Speaker 6>nine year pro who who could have actually spent more

590
00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:29.880
<v Speaker 6>time in the NBA if he'd so chosen. I mean,

591
00:29:29.880 --> 00:29:32.720
<v Speaker 6>we had a lot of really good players and that's

592
00:29:32.720 --> 00:29:34.720
<v Speaker 6>what it takes. And I agree with you. I think

593
00:29:34.759 --> 00:29:39.240
<v Speaker 6>Arizona's got excellent talent. And to overcome the fact that

594
00:29:39.279 --> 00:29:42.720
<v Speaker 6>they're starting BIG's been out for the whole year, uh,

595
00:29:43.519 --> 00:29:45.920
<v Speaker 6>and to be able to make up for him. I

596
00:29:46.160 --> 00:29:50.000
<v Speaker 6>don't remember the kid's name, the big kid that got

597
00:29:50.000 --> 00:29:54.759
<v Speaker 6>in the foul trouble in the last game. Man, he

598
00:29:55.000 --> 00:29:58.559
<v Speaker 6>was a stud. And he and the kid from when

599
00:29:58.559 --> 00:30:02.279
<v Speaker 6>they really compliment themselves. Uh, they have, you know, two

600
00:30:02.319 --> 00:30:06.519
<v Speaker 6>different looks coming at you. With those two, Radley's been spectacular.

601
00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:07.920
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

602
00:30:08.119 --> 00:30:11.480
<v Speaker 6>I love the freshman for man from California and Carter

603
00:30:11.559 --> 00:30:15.519
<v Speaker 6>brac Donald's yeah, and he's spent now. He'll probably be

604
00:30:15.559 --> 00:30:18.440
<v Speaker 6>in the NBA next year. I mean, uh that that'll

605
00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:21.839
<v Speaker 6>be a hard one too to see how it all

606
00:30:21.920 --> 00:30:25.599
<v Speaker 6>on Pulls. I I'm not following that right now, but

607
00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:29.079
<v Speaker 6>whether it's a year from now or this company, he'll

608
00:30:29.119 --> 00:30:32.079
<v Speaker 6>be in the NBA. You know, there's a big guy

609
00:30:32.119 --> 00:30:35.799
<v Speaker 6>you can sup floor shoot. He's special, He's got a

610
00:30:35.839 --> 00:30:39.200
<v Speaker 6>special talent, and that just speaks to what a great

611
00:30:39.279 --> 00:30:40.799
<v Speaker 6>job they're doing recruiting there.

612
00:30:41.519 --> 00:30:43.359
<v Speaker 2>So let me let me say go to your old

613
00:30:43.759 --> 00:30:45.319
<v Speaker 2>didn't know. We're not gonna talk about basketball. We're gona

614
00:30:45.319 --> 00:30:46.480
<v Speaker 2>talk about olt time basketball.

615
00:30:46.680 --> 00:30:49.079
<v Speaker 3>Dave. Tell me your connection to to coach.

616
00:30:49.160 --> 00:30:52.519
<v Speaker 5>So so you don't we've never met. I'm kind of

617
00:30:52.559 --> 00:30:54.480
<v Speaker 5>Steve sidekick every once in a while. And I was

618
00:30:54.519 --> 00:30:57.680
<v Speaker 5>a broadcaster in Tucson, but I was also broadcaster in

619
00:30:57.680 --> 00:31:02.119
<v Speaker 5>San Luis Obispo before I came here, so we were

620
00:31:02.359 --> 00:31:04.480
<v Speaker 5>we were together for a few years when you were

621
00:31:04.519 --> 00:31:07.440
<v Speaker 5>at UCSB and I was up there covering cal Poly

622
00:31:08.039 --> 00:31:10.160
<v Speaker 5>same years. I mean like I was there eighty one

623
00:31:10.240 --> 00:31:12.359
<v Speaker 5>to eighty three, so we were side by side and

624
00:31:12.359 --> 00:31:14.000
<v Speaker 5>I know we used to show your highlights. I don't

625
00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:16.000
<v Speaker 5>know if I every even came down to a game

626
00:31:16.240 --> 00:31:18.480
<v Speaker 5>because the market it was like ninety miles between the

627
00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:21.480
<v Speaker 5>two cities. But I just want to say, it's nice

628
00:31:21.519 --> 00:31:24.400
<v Speaker 5>to talk to you now after you know, all these

629
00:31:24.480 --> 00:31:28.160
<v Speaker 5>years forty years ago, when we were young, young starting

630
00:31:28.160 --> 00:31:30.039
<v Speaker 5>out in the broadcast the world and coaching world.

631
00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:35.240
<v Speaker 3>It was funny. It was a good time. Mine was brown.

632
00:31:36.160 --> 00:31:37.240
<v Speaker 3>And then here's another thing.

633
00:31:37.319 --> 00:31:43.799
<v Speaker 2>Coach the guys at Pima, Brian Peabody and and they

634
00:31:43.920 --> 00:31:46.480
<v Speaker 2>wanted to say hello, you know, to say hello to

635
00:31:46.519 --> 00:31:49.079
<v Speaker 2>you because I guess Mike Morgan and those guys because

636
00:31:49.119 --> 00:31:50.759
<v Speaker 2>they did really well. I don't know if you know that.

637
00:31:50.799 --> 00:31:53.200
<v Speaker 2>They went thirty three and oh I went to the

638
00:31:53.240 --> 00:31:56.400
<v Speaker 2>fin went to the semi finals of the JC tournament

639
00:31:56.559 --> 00:31:59.319
<v Speaker 2>and they lost in the semi finals and finished third.

640
00:32:00.920 --> 00:32:05.319
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I know, I knew that. And Brian, he's spectacular

641
00:32:05.400 --> 00:32:09.160
<v Speaker 6>coach at tol Point, did an unbelievable job, and you know,

642
00:32:09.279 --> 00:32:16.599
<v Speaker 6>just great, great people and outstanding coaches. But uh, it's

643
00:32:16.680 --> 00:32:20.440
<v Speaker 6>it's fun to be watching his career and uh, I'm

644
00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:22.160
<v Speaker 6>glad he to be able to stay in the area

645
00:32:22.200 --> 00:32:25.839
<v Speaker 6>there because They're lucky to have him. Uh, you know,

646
00:32:26.359 --> 00:32:30.799
<v Speaker 6>basketball is really special in the Tucson area. And you know,

647
00:32:30.880 --> 00:32:33.000
<v Speaker 6>for me, it all started with Loot. I mean, Luke

648
00:32:33.079 --> 00:32:36.599
<v Speaker 6>created a monster and a love for basketball with all

649
00:32:36.680 --> 00:32:41.440
<v Speaker 6>success that you know started really with him consistently winning

650
00:32:42.000 --> 00:32:46.240
<v Speaker 6>at an incredible rate there at u of A. And uh,

651
00:32:46.839 --> 00:32:50.000
<v Speaker 6>you know, just being back there in the building in

652
00:32:50.000 --> 00:32:53.400
<v Speaker 6>December when I came to see PCU and Jamie Dixon

653
00:32:53.440 --> 00:32:56.519
<v Speaker 6>platers on a what unbelievable fans.

654
00:32:57.319 --> 00:32:57.599
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

655
00:32:57.640 --> 00:33:00.640
<v Speaker 6>You know, there's no question that Michale's Center has some

656
00:33:00.680 --> 00:33:03.720
<v Speaker 6>of the best fans in all of college basketball. And

657
00:33:03.720 --> 00:33:06.920
<v Speaker 6>their support for their love for their team and how

658
00:33:06.960 --> 00:33:09.559
<v Speaker 6>they travel. I mean it was like a home game

659
00:33:09.640 --> 00:33:14.319
<v Speaker 6>the other night when they were playing. Yeah, they support

660
00:33:14.359 --> 00:33:17.240
<v Speaker 6>there and love their cats, and it's just fun to

661
00:33:18.480 --> 00:33:22.319
<v Speaker 6>have witnessed that. And they've played that environment with those

662
00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:25.960
<v Speaker 6>UCLA teams that were really good and actually won a

663
00:33:25.960 --> 00:33:26.759
<v Speaker 6>few of those games.

664
00:33:26.759 --> 00:33:28.519
<v Speaker 2>So let me ask you real quickly. This might be

665
00:33:28.559 --> 00:33:31.000
<v Speaker 2>a bizarre question because we talked about players. You know,

666
00:33:31.079 --> 00:33:33.720
<v Speaker 2>the better players have better chances of winning a tournament.

667
00:33:34.079 --> 00:33:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Did you ever scout the guys like lout the Montgomerys

668
00:33:38.039 --> 00:33:40.799
<v Speaker 2>of the world were you know, it says, Okay, it's

669
00:33:40.880 --> 00:33:43.720
<v Speaker 2>Loot's team, this is what we have to guard against,

670
00:33:44.000 --> 00:33:45.880
<v Speaker 2>because I'm sure he had tendencies too.

671
00:33:47.640 --> 00:33:51.039
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I mean everybody does, every coach does, every team,

672
00:33:51.559 --> 00:33:53.759
<v Speaker 6>and you just named two Hall of Fame coaches. I

673
00:33:53.759 --> 00:33:57.240
<v Speaker 6>mean the fact that that Mike Montgomery's not in the

674
00:33:57.359 --> 00:34:02.519
<v Speaker 6>Nasmith Hall of Fame just apples me because he's is

675
00:34:02.839 --> 00:34:08.280
<v Speaker 6>was so good and so consistent at Stanford, which you

676
00:34:08.320 --> 00:34:10.320
<v Speaker 6>can see how hard a job it is. I mean,

677
00:34:10.920 --> 00:34:16.280
<v Speaker 6>you know, post Montgomery hasn't been close to with Montgomery, uh,

678
00:34:16.519 --> 00:34:18.719
<v Speaker 6>you know, he really knew what he was doing, and

679
00:34:19.079 --> 00:34:21.480
<v Speaker 6>he and Lude had a special bond. Those guys were

680
00:34:21.519 --> 00:34:24.119
<v Speaker 6>like the two deans of the league. When I joined,

681
00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:26.880
<v Speaker 6>but was in the back pen, and it was fun

682
00:34:27.400 --> 00:34:30.960
<v Speaker 6>to see, you know, how much they respected one another

683
00:34:31.079 --> 00:34:34.119
<v Speaker 6>and competed so hard against one another. But you know,

684
00:34:34.159 --> 00:34:38.159
<v Speaker 6>both Long Beach guys initially from back when they knew

685
00:34:38.199 --> 00:34:38.719
<v Speaker 6>each other.

686
00:34:38.679 --> 00:34:38.960
<v Speaker 3>Right, And.

687
00:34:40.719 --> 00:34:44.440
<v Speaker 6>You know, Lut's teams were so good offensively and so

688
00:34:45.199 --> 00:34:47.719
<v Speaker 6>spaced out, you know, the way they spaced the floor

689
00:34:47.880 --> 00:34:54.679
<v Speaker 6>and ran with their you know, great fast break and

690
00:34:55.199 --> 00:34:58.239
<v Speaker 6>no question Lout was as good recruiter as anybody in

691
00:34:58.280 --> 00:35:02.400
<v Speaker 6>the country. You know, you think about all the unbelievable players,

692
00:35:02.440 --> 00:35:06.639
<v Speaker 6>and he really also recruited character. You talk with the

693
00:35:06.679 --> 00:35:10.840
<v Speaker 6>high character guys like a Chud Buschler or you know,

694
00:35:10.920 --> 00:35:14.679
<v Speaker 6>Steve Kerr or Sean Elliott. I mean, the list goes

695
00:35:14.760 --> 00:35:17.679
<v Speaker 6>on and on and on and on. You know, the

696
00:35:17.800 --> 00:35:21.840
<v Speaker 6>kind of kids that were recruited over the decades.

697
00:35:21.400 --> 00:35:23.480
<v Speaker 3>To U of A.

698
00:35:23.639 --> 00:35:26.719
<v Speaker 6>You know, that's what made I think those fans so

699
00:35:27.280 --> 00:35:29.760
<v Speaker 6>falling up, along with the fact that you used to

700
00:35:29.760 --> 00:35:32.719
<v Speaker 6>have guys who stayed for three and four years right

701
00:35:34.920 --> 00:35:36.920
<v Speaker 6>to get to know and be a part of them.

702
00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:40.800
<v Speaker 6>And those guys all love U of A and going

703
00:35:40.840 --> 00:35:44.440
<v Speaker 6>back to tuc Suns so much to this day. It's incredible,

704
00:35:45.239 --> 00:35:48.760
<v Speaker 6>you know how much they love their experience. And I

705
00:35:48.760 --> 00:35:51.039
<v Speaker 6>would say the vast majority of guys that went on

706
00:35:51.119 --> 00:35:53.159
<v Speaker 6>to you know, make it big in the pros, which

707
00:35:53.159 --> 00:35:57.440
<v Speaker 6>are many still look upon their years as Arizona the

708
00:35:57.519 --> 00:36:02.679
<v Speaker 6>highlights of their career. Guys, they do. That's just how

709
00:36:02.719 --> 00:36:03.199
<v Speaker 6>it is.

710
00:36:03.239 --> 00:36:07.320

<v Speaker 5>in terms of just really you know, having you know,

827

00:42:37.360 --> 00:42:39.599
<v Speaker 5>fours that we could possibly be seeing, and things like

848
00:42:40.840 --> 00:42:42.360
<v Speaker 5>the brainiac final four.

849
00:42:42.519 --> 00:42:44.599

00:42:44.400 --> 00:42:48.159
<v Speaker 5>Florida Duke and Purdue, the party school final four. We're

851
00:42:48.199 --> 00:42:51.079

852
00:42:51.119 --> 00:42:52.000
<v Speaker 5>Florida and Tennessee.

00:43:02.639 --> 00:43:06.320
<v Speaker 5>Don't chaos final four would be Old Miss, Arkansas, b

858
00:43:06.480 --> 00:43:07.360
<v Speaker 5>YU and Purdue.

859
00:43:07.559 --> 00:43:10.000
<v Speaker 3>Four teams that nobody would would be predicting.

860
00:43:12.000 --> 00:43:15.280
<v Speaker 5>You have your bracket. You my bracket. My bracket is

861
00:43:15.320 --> 00:43:19.440
<v Speaker 5>not terrible. I've got some of the teams surviving, but

862
00:43:20.360 --> 00:43:21.840
<v Speaker 5>I'll be done probably.

863
00:43:21.599 --> 00:43:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Everybody unless you hit those early upsets because everybody has

864
00:43:24.960 --> 00:43:25.800
<v Speaker 2>the same teams.

865
00:43:26.119 --> 00:43:29.000
<v Speaker 3>Exactly. It's chucky exactly. So I was talking to you

866
00:43:29.039 --> 00:43:29.519
<v Speaker 3>earlier about it.

867
00:43:29.519 --> 00:43:30.000
<v Speaker 6>I have b Y.

868
00:43:30.079 --> 00:43:33.159
<v Speaker 3>You kind of advancing a little bit, you know, maybe maybe.

869
00:43:32.960 --> 00:43:35.760
<v Speaker 5>Get to Alabama.

870
00:43:36.239 --> 00:43:38.360
<v Speaker 2>That's give me a heck of a game because it's

871
00:43:38.360 --> 00:43:42.000
<v Speaker 2>a bunch of old dudes, because that's by is crafty

872
00:43:42.760 --> 00:43:47.480
<v Speaker 2>and they're very good. But Bama's Bama loves to run Nato.

873
00:43:47.480 --> 00:43:50.159
<v Speaker 2>It's is just like your neighbor, you know. It comes

874
00:43:50.159 --> 00:43:52.440
<v Speaker 2>out and does the laundry. He puts put your shorts

875
00:43:52.440 --> 00:43:53.239
<v Speaker 2>on the laundry man.

876
00:43:53.559 --> 00:43:55.880
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, he doesn't sit down, some of those coaches. It

877
00:43:56.000 --> 00:43:56.840
<v Speaker 5>just never sits down.

878
00:43:56.880 --> 00:43:58.719
<v Speaker 3>And he's a good old boy. No, he's just a

879
00:43:58.719 --> 00:44:02.639
<v Speaker 3>good old boy. Yeah. Yeah.

880
00:44:02.679 --> 00:44:05.840
<v Speaker 5>Final four guaranteed to capture the NBA audience would be

881
00:44:05.920 --> 00:44:08.519
<v Speaker 5>Michigan State, Maryland, Duke Houston because they're got a bunch

882
00:44:08.519 --> 00:44:10.000
<v Speaker 5>of lottery picks on all those teams.

883
00:44:10.679 --> 00:44:13.880
<v Speaker 2>Maryland survived. My son teaches and teaches he works at

884
00:44:13.880 --> 00:44:16.679
<v Speaker 2>Maryland sent me in a cool Maryland top. So I've

885
00:44:16.719 --> 00:44:17.719
<v Speaker 2>been worrying that a little.

886
00:44:17.880 --> 00:44:19.400
<v Speaker 3>The wins spring practice.

887
00:44:19.440 --> 00:44:23.360
<v Speaker 5>Final four, Michigan, Florida, Alabama, and Tennessee, all those football schools,

888
00:44:23.400 --> 00:44:25.960
<v Speaker 5>but they're in the final four or in the Yeah.

889
00:44:25.960 --> 00:44:28.639
<v Speaker 2>And it's very rare to have a football good football

890
00:44:28.639 --> 00:44:30.719
<v Speaker 2>school and a basketball school. And maybe I just say

891
00:44:30.800 --> 00:44:31.960
<v Speaker 2>that because it doesn't happen here.

892
00:44:32.079 --> 00:44:34.039
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, but I mean, you know, Michigan of course, has

893
00:44:34.079 --> 00:44:38.079
<v Speaker 5>had the history of yeah winning over the years. But Florida, yeah,

894
00:44:38.119 --> 00:44:39.840
<v Speaker 5>you know, they won the two championships, but that you

895
00:44:39.840 --> 00:44:41.039
<v Speaker 5>don't really hear much about them.

896
00:44:41.280 --> 00:44:43.559
<v Speaker 3>But here they're still Yeah, we got a call. Okay, cool,

897
00:44:44.079 --> 00:44:48.000
<v Speaker 3>you're in the air nine of the ball. Who's this, Jared?

898
00:44:48.800 --> 00:44:49.280
<v Speaker 3>What's up?

899
00:44:50.440 --> 00:44:50.679
<v Speaker 12>Hey?

900
00:44:51.440 --> 00:44:54.199
<v Speaker 3>I was thinking the I think that they're going to

901
00:44:54.360 --> 00:44:56.800
<v Speaker 3>have a better chance having.

902
00:44:56.599 --> 00:44:59.599
<v Speaker 16>Lost to them already and then being an underdog.

903
00:44:59.719 --> 00:45:01.320
<v Speaker 3>Tot agree with you, totally agree.

904
00:45:01.719 --> 00:45:04.119
<v Speaker 2>In fact, in fact, I think that's a great point

905
00:45:04.199 --> 00:45:07.880
<v Speaker 2>because Arizona I always and I talked to this with

906
00:45:07.880 --> 00:45:10.960
<v Speaker 2>with Tommy today, that Arizona always shows up as an

907
00:45:11.039 --> 00:45:13.840
<v Speaker 2>underdog and if you've already beaten them once, they'll be

908
00:45:13.880 --> 00:45:14.480
<v Speaker 2>pissed off.

909
00:45:15.519 --> 00:45:16.719
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, exactly.

910
00:45:16.960 --> 00:45:20.320
<v Speaker 3>So I think I think they're gonna nip them by

911
00:45:20.400 --> 00:45:20.920
<v Speaker 3>three or four.

912
00:45:21.000 --> 00:45:23.559
<v Speaker 2>I think, well, so if you're a gambling man, you

913
00:45:23.679 --> 00:45:25.000
<v Speaker 2>take the points.

914
00:45:25.440 --> 00:45:28.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay, who's this again?

915
00:45:28.840 --> 00:45:29.199
<v Speaker 3>Who's this?

916
00:45:29.800 --> 00:45:30.119
<v Speaker 6>Jerry?

917
00:45:30.360 --> 00:45:31.000
<v Speaker 3>Jerry? Thanks?

918
00:45:31.079 --> 00:45:31.239
<v Speaker 6>God?

919
00:45:31.360 --> 00:45:32.559
<v Speaker 3>You have you just your first time?

920
00:45:32.599 --> 00:45:32.800
<v Speaker 6>Colin?

921
00:45:32.840 --> 00:45:33.519
<v Speaker 3>Have you called before?

922
00:45:34.880 --> 00:45:35.239
<v Speaker 11>Uh?

923
00:45:35.280 --> 00:45:38.000
<v Speaker 3>Maybe the second time? Maybe? Okay? Cool?

924
00:45:38.000 --> 00:45:40.360
<v Speaker 2>Wel Jerry, thanks for calling. I hope you enjoyed the show,

925
00:45:41.599 --> 00:45:44.119
<v Speaker 2>all right, Ben, Yeah, thank you appreciate it. Take some

926
00:45:44.159 --> 00:45:45.000
<v Speaker 2>more calls if you can.

927
00:45:45.199 --> 00:45:48.159
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it'd be curious to go back and see how

928
00:45:48.400 --> 00:45:51.159
<v Speaker 5>how the UFA has done, you know, with second chances

929
00:45:51.159 --> 00:45:53.760
<v Speaker 5>against some of these I wish teams you should do

930
00:45:53.800 --> 00:45:55.880
<v Speaker 5>that story. No, no, I'm gonna do that story, but

931
00:45:56.239 --> 00:45:58.280
<v Speaker 5>kind of in a non history.

932
00:45:58.960 --> 00:46:00.320
<v Speaker 2>I want to do this, but you're can make me

933
00:46:00.400 --> 00:46:02.400
<v Speaker 2>do some homework, maybe how Beer could do it for me.

934
00:46:02.480 --> 00:46:05.079
<v Speaker 2>But but in covering them for all that time that

935
00:46:05.119 --> 00:46:08.559
<v Speaker 2>I've covered them, it was very difficult. It's sweep Arizona

936
00:46:08.639 --> 00:46:11.519
<v Speaker 2>in a year. I can't remember how many teams have

937
00:46:11.599 --> 00:46:14.239
<v Speaker 2>did it or I've done it. I know when Luke's time,

938
00:46:14.320 --> 00:46:17.719
<v Speaker 2>it was very difficult. Shawnstein probably the same because even

939
00:46:17.719 --> 00:46:19.760
<v Speaker 2>if you go back to shann in your memory, he

940
00:46:19.760 --> 00:46:22.239
<v Speaker 2>didn't get blown out very much. No, so you know

941
00:46:22.320 --> 00:46:24.440
<v Speaker 2>he was always close within you know, seven or eight.

942
00:46:25.000 --> 00:46:29.199
<v Speaker 2>Tommy's thing is he's got these gets, these double digit

943
00:46:29.280 --> 00:46:31.320
<v Speaker 2>lead you just don't know if he's gonna hold it.

944
00:46:31.800 --> 00:46:33.280
<v Speaker 2>That's kind of been his inmos.

945
00:46:33.800 --> 00:46:36.920
<v Speaker 5>I mean, you know, again, like Luke, how many seventeen

946
00:46:36.960 --> 00:46:39.280
<v Speaker 5>and one seasons they weren't losing, you know, to the

947
00:46:39.320 --> 00:46:42.119
<v Speaker 5>past ten teams. No, but there's always that occasional non

948
00:46:42.119 --> 00:46:44.519
<v Speaker 5>conference game they're playing in you know, Hawaii or someplace

949
00:46:44.639 --> 00:46:47.400
<v Speaker 5>or Vegas, and then they wind up facing them again

950
00:46:47.400 --> 00:46:49.000
<v Speaker 5>in the tournaments. So those are it's always kind of

951
00:46:49.000 --> 00:46:50.760
<v Speaker 5>cool to see if that happens and vice versa.

952
00:46:50.880 --> 00:46:53.159
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they had it's always tough to be the

953
00:46:53.239 --> 00:46:57.159
<v Speaker 2>team twice and Arizona've been up the guy be here.

954
00:46:57.679 --> 00:46:58.679
<v Speaker 3>It wasn't even close.

955
00:46:58.800 --> 00:47:02.119
<v Speaker 5>No, no, yeah, that's why I'm a little bit skeptical.

956
00:47:02.559 --> 00:47:05.480
<v Speaker 5>You know, there's still a ten point underdog basically, and yeah,

957
00:47:05.639 --> 00:47:07.320
<v Speaker 5>you know it's going to be a I don't know,

958
00:47:07.599 --> 00:47:09.199
<v Speaker 5>I don't know with the court it's going to be

959
00:47:09.719 --> 00:47:11.880
<v Speaker 5>it's a neutral site, but certainly you think there'd be

960
00:47:11.880 --> 00:47:12.519
<v Speaker 5>more Duke fans.

961
00:47:12.559 --> 00:47:15.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, remember because I had Brian on yesterday, Brian Peterson,

962
00:47:15.039 --> 00:47:18.280
<v Speaker 2>and he's the numbers guy. Right, Duke came in and

963
00:47:18.320 --> 00:47:20.519
<v Speaker 2>I think it was about the same amount of points

964
00:47:21.079 --> 00:47:24.440
<v Speaker 2>last time in twenty eleven that they were favored over Arizona,

965
00:47:24.719 --> 00:47:27.639
<v Speaker 2>and Arizona did away with that one going away.

966
00:47:27.519 --> 00:47:28.440
<v Speaker 3>Right, right, right?

967
00:47:28.519 --> 00:47:31.519
<v Speaker 5>So can Derek Williams come back and play like one more?

968
00:47:31.679 --> 00:47:32.400
<v Speaker 5>One more games?

969
00:47:32.519 --> 00:47:33.039
<v Speaker 3>You would need?

970
00:47:33.119 --> 00:47:34.960
<v Speaker 2>Okay, who would be your who would be the Derek

971
00:47:35.000 --> 00:47:38.599
<v Speaker 2>Williams not named Caleb here, Well, Caleb is dear Derek

972
00:47:38.639 --> 00:47:42.159
<v Speaker 2>Williams in the start, I mean, who has to go again?

973
00:47:42.199 --> 00:47:43.800
<v Speaker 5>You need him to get his twenty and you know

974
00:47:44.000 --> 00:47:46.119
<v Speaker 5>a few other guys to get in the fifteen range,

975
00:47:46.159 --> 00:47:48.360
<v Speaker 5>and they could be in position.

976
00:47:48.880 --> 00:47:51.920
<v Speaker 2>I still think that maybe it could be kJ. kJ

977
00:47:52.119 --> 00:47:54.679
<v Speaker 2>has that in him. Just remember at the beginning of

978
00:47:54.719 --> 00:47:56.840
<v Speaker 2>the year he was one of the top NBA prospects

979
00:47:57.119 --> 00:47:59.000
<v Speaker 2>on this team. He just didn't live up to it.

980
00:47:59.159 --> 00:48:02.280
<v Speaker 2>But the last few weeks he's kind of moving that way.

981
00:48:02.679 --> 00:48:05.199
<v Speaker 4>We got a call now, just breaking news stuff on

982
00:48:05.280 --> 00:48:06.760
<v Speaker 4>Diggs just signed with the Patriots.

983
00:48:06.800 --> 00:48:08.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, yeah, you had talked about that Dave off

984
00:48:08.440 --> 00:48:12.159
<v Speaker 2>the year. I think, yeah, I thought he might go

985
00:48:12.199 --> 00:48:14.280
<v Speaker 2>to the Cowboys with his brother.

986
00:48:14.960 --> 00:48:17.360
<v Speaker 5>And of course the is there any quarterbacks left besides

987
00:48:17.400 --> 00:48:20.239
<v Speaker 5>Aaron Rodgers. I mean, there's Marcell We talked about Russell

988
00:48:20.239 --> 00:48:24.679
<v Speaker 5>Wilson going to the Giants. Yeah, I don't want him anywhere,

989
00:48:24.679 --> 00:48:26.639
<v Speaker 5>to hear me, But I mean the Vikings maybe is

990
00:48:26.719 --> 00:48:27.639
<v Speaker 5>that the last.

991
00:48:27.400 --> 00:48:30.719
<v Speaker 16>Well, the Steelers need a quarterback now. I guess he

992
00:48:30.840 --> 00:48:37.800
<v Speaker 16>visited there last week, right, Yeah? Cardinals, Cardinals Cowboys.

993
00:48:38.920 --> 00:48:41.519
<v Speaker 3>I didn't want them. I'm not even a Cowboy fan anymore.

994
00:48:41.559 --> 00:48:42.480
<v Speaker 3>I don't want him there. Now.

995
00:48:43.719 --> 00:48:46.519
<v Speaker 2>Okay, anybody calls, we'll be ready for you. You got about

996
00:48:46.519 --> 00:48:50.920
<v Speaker 2>four minutes to talk about it. Yeah, it was funny

997
00:48:50.920 --> 00:48:54.079
<v Speaker 2>because I've been pulling for Arizona the West. I mean,

998
00:48:54.360 --> 00:48:57.880
<v Speaker 2>UCLA has been the last pretty much West team. Gonzaga

999
00:48:57.960 --> 00:49:00.599
<v Speaker 2>went to the Final four two thousand and seven, teen eighteen,

1000
00:49:00.800 --> 00:49:03.079
<v Speaker 2>when Arizona should have been there with your with your

1001
00:49:03.119 --> 00:49:09.159
<v Speaker 2>Treer team, with the you know, DeAndre Ayton team Raally. Yeah, yeah,

1002
00:49:09.159 --> 00:49:12.719
<v Speaker 2>the Buffalo, the Buffalo disaster. God, I still can't believe

1003
00:49:12.760 --> 00:49:15.719
<v Speaker 2>that one. That was a hard one to watch. Yeah,

1004
00:49:15.840 --> 00:49:17.760
<v Speaker 2>they didn't want to be there. They didn't want to

1005
00:49:17.760 --> 00:49:19.400
<v Speaker 2>be there, so we'll see.

1006
00:49:19.400 --> 00:49:21.960
<v Speaker 5>Well using that quote again, that was the Idea Barnes

1007
00:49:22.039 --> 00:49:24.920
<v Speaker 5>quote kind of oh yeah, the men after they're they're

1008
00:49:24.960 --> 00:49:27.519
<v Speaker 5>loss in that, no question. Oh they didn't really want

1009
00:49:27.559 --> 00:49:28.039
<v Speaker 5>to play well.

1010
00:49:28.840 --> 00:49:31.280
<v Speaker 2>Jane and I got into our little conversation here and

1011
00:49:31.320 --> 00:49:33.320
<v Speaker 2>he said, yeah, they're going to go to the postseason.

1012
00:49:33.440 --> 00:49:36.159
<v Speaker 2>Wn I t whatever is. I said, I don't think

1013
00:49:36.159 --> 00:49:37.960
<v Speaker 2>they're going to accept it. I don't think they would

1014
00:49:37.960 --> 00:49:40.039
<v Speaker 2>accept it. And I was totally wrong with that. But

1015
00:49:40.199 --> 00:49:42.519
<v Speaker 2>for the reasons I thought they would accept it. That

1016
00:49:43.079 --> 00:49:46.000
<v Speaker 2>season was over. It was already kind of a haphazard,

1017
00:49:46.239 --> 00:49:49.159
<v Speaker 2>crazy finish. Oh would you want to prolong it? And

1018
00:49:49.320 --> 00:49:51.199
<v Speaker 2>as it turned out, they didn't want to prolong it.

1019
00:49:51.440 --> 00:49:51.599
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

1020
00:49:51.599 --> 00:49:53.559
<v Speaker 5>I mean just the fact that they publicly said that

1021
00:49:53.599 --> 00:49:55.440
<v Speaker 5>I was a little bit strange.

1022
00:49:56.119 --> 00:49:57.639
<v Speaker 3>What did you the coach to come out and say

1023
00:49:57.639 --> 00:50:00.000
<v Speaker 3>that one? Did you literally want to play? Did you

1024
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:02.039
<v Speaker 3>listen to the press commerce Oh? No, I saw the quotes.

1025
00:50:02.119 --> 00:50:03.800
<v Speaker 3>You got the quotes. Okay, if you listen to the

1026
00:50:03.840 --> 00:50:04.239
<v Speaker 3>press corp.

1027
00:50:04.280 --> 00:50:07.239
<v Speaker 2>They're very telling with one of the players, she's finishing

1028
00:50:07.280 --> 00:50:08.079
<v Speaker 2>her school year.

1029
00:50:08.239 --> 00:50:09.159
<v Speaker 3>Oh what do you miss?

1030
00:50:09.440 --> 00:50:13.360
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'll miss some of my players, my coaches, but

1031
00:50:13.440 --> 00:50:16.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm being honest, some of my players, some of my teammates.

1032
00:50:16.840 --> 00:50:19.559
<v Speaker 3>That tells you a lot, you know, of dysfunction.

1033
00:50:19.599 --> 00:50:21.760
<v Speaker 5>I think this year, without question, you know, for it

1034
00:50:21.800 --> 00:50:24.199
<v Speaker 5>to come to a crashing and the way it seems

1035
00:50:24.239 --> 00:50:25.719
<v Speaker 5>to be working and not.

1036
00:50:25.719 --> 00:50:27.840
<v Speaker 3>To get a shot off, It was like do I

1037
00:50:27.880 --> 00:50:29.639
<v Speaker 3>have to shoot this? I want to do this? End

1038
00:50:29.719 --> 00:50:32.239
<v Speaker 3>is I don't know?

1039
00:50:32.800 --> 00:50:37.400
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, Young athletes, old athletes getting getting getting moody at

1040
00:50:37.400 --> 00:50:40.039
<v Speaker 5>the they shouldn't be doing this at the ages of twenty.

1041
00:50:40.280 --> 00:50:42.400
<v Speaker 2>They should be excited to well to the points of

1042
00:50:42.480 --> 00:50:44.840
<v Speaker 2>the fans. I mean, they've spent money on this. They

1043
00:50:44.880 --> 00:50:48.440
<v Speaker 2>go to get excited and they back you and then this. Yeah,

1044
00:50:49.239 --> 00:50:54.599
<v Speaker 2>I shaved my legs for this. Any calls, We're good, Okay,

1045
00:50:54.719 --> 00:50:56.360
<v Speaker 2>We're just too exciting for people to call.

1046
00:50:56.480 --> 00:50:56.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.
