I've been very fortunate. You 15 00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:49.439 have you have? Did you ever think? 16 00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:51.679 I don't know if you remember this, but I remember 17 00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:53.920 this because it affected me. When you were being recruited 18 00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:58.200 by Luke ninety two, summer of ninety twos ninety one, 19 00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:02.240 maybe you were at down gym and you were being 20 00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:04.280 recruited by you of eight. I think you had just 21 00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:07.319 committed with your team from Matater Day, or you had 22 00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:09.239 been here for the summer and you said, yeah, I'm 23 00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:11.879 coming to Arizona, So that was kind of started the process. 24 00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:14.920 Would you have thought that it'd come to all this, 25 00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:17.000 this is thirty four years ago. 26 00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:19.000 Yeah, I don't know if I ever thought it would 27 00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:20.319 come to this, but I think I hoped they would 28 00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:22.760 come to some type of relationship with the university, that 29 00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:26.439 I would be a student athlete, have an amazing experience, 30 00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:28.599 get to play for a Hall of Fame coach, got 31 00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:30.560 to play with just an amazing group of guys. I 32 00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:33.799 want to say, you know, probably ten twelve guys that 33 00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:36.920 went on to play professional at some level, and other 34 00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:38.879 guys became professional with other areas. So just to be 35 00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:41.879 with this group and to kind of, you know, parlay 36 00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:43.760 it into a nine year professional career or a fourteen 37 00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:47.040 year coaching career now back in Arizona. I don't know 38 00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:49.280 if I envisioned all that, but I definitely was hoping 39 00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:50.400 to playoffs something like this. 40 00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:52.359 Well, and the fact that you came in with a 41 00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:54.680 bunch of good dudes. You know, you kind of mentioned 42 00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:57.640 that with Joel McClain. There's probably some brothers of yours 43 00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:02.120 now right, jb uh, don't don't don't mess with me, 44 00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:06.480 because I'm trying to get this right, you JB. Corey McClain. 45 00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:11.439 Ray was not part of that group, was he? Who 46 00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:12.120 am I missing? 47 00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:13.400 Kevin? No? 48 00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:16.840 No, there was five of you there. Why it wasn't 49 00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:19.840 Edrick it was and okay was part of that group. So, 50 00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:23.520 you know, a player for every position and then dummy Eddrick. 51 00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:25.400 I could say that because he's one of my poker buddies, 52 00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:27.159 says you know that. I think he was a fantastic 53 00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:32.120 player by the way left, but that team all that potential. 54 00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:34.879 But then he got replaced by Ben Davis eventually, right. 55 00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:36.960 Yeah, you know, you know, we we obviously hate to 56 00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:38.879 lose Ederick. Back in the day, Edic went went on 57 00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:41.919 to Tennessee some Tennessee then Lewiston Clark actually ended up 58 00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:44.080 playing the NBA for for a cup of coffee and 59 00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:46.800 happy his career played out. But yeah, we ended up 60 00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:50.400 getting Ben Davis All American from Kansas and Florida. So 61 00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:54.800 back in the nineties, a lot of good things were happening. 62 00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:56.039 Yeah, no question. 63 00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:58.919 And you know when it's a deep when Sweet sixteen 64 00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:02.840 had had Kansas by the Yankers and didn't beat them, 65 00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:05.039 uh you would played Syracuse next game. 66 00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:05.199 Right now? 67 00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:06.879 Yeah, we had played them earlier in the season. 68 00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:09.879 They're going back to that ninety six year and uh, yeah, 69 00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:13.319 we had a good team. Senior Leyden had beat UH 70 00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:15.639 Georgetown in Michigan earlier in the year. 71 00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:17.280 From the preseason in it, I think we. 72 00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:19.800 Finished second in the Pac twelve, had a bad Bay 73 00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:23.319 Area trip and you know, unfortunately we go to Kansas. 74 00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:25.599 Joseph Blair at that time wasn't with the team, and 75 00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:28.159 he was a big part of what we were doing. Uh, 76 00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:30.800 future European Player of the Year a few years later, 77 00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:34.080 showing his quality. So they I didn't know that, yeah, 78 00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:36.199 when he was with when he was in Italy, he 79 00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:38.639 was Turkey at the time he was he was a 80 00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:41.159 year League Player of the Year before going to Milan, 81 00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:43.599 and so just to show his quality and we missed him, 82 00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:44.879 ended up losing to Kansas. 83 00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:47.360 But I want to say two two or three. I 84 00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:49.000 remember a Jared. 85 00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:52.319 Hoss corner of three told Miles don't leave standing next 86 00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:53.800 to me and called a time out. 87 00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:54.639 We went down the other way. 88 00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:56.319 Coach as to call a play up and I did 89 00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:58.719 a little driving kick to Michael Dickerson, who was a 90 00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:00.960 freshman at that time. He had a lot of confidence 91 00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:03.120 in and he just didn't knock it down right. It's 92 00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:03.960 just one of those things. 93 00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:06.319 Well, I still say this, and I'd probably talk to 94 00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:09.560 you about a thousand times. I thought that game helped 95 00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:12.719 that team the next year beat Kansas because they knew 96 00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:15.000 they could play with them, you know what I'm saying, 97 00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:16.879 because you beat them the week you you had them, 98 00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:18.879 because I think it was Dickerson who went two for 99 00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:21.639 one on that final minute. They missed the shots, came 100 00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:23.879 back down the shot, mit whatever, But you guys paid 101 00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:27.120 Kansas so tight that ninety six that that gave him 102 00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:29.600 the confidence that they can beat him in ninety seven. 103 00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:31.040 I'm gonna go with that. Steve. I like that. 104 00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:34.199 I tell people we taught them well and there's play 105 00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:37.040 that same same plays. They had been to that stage before, 106 00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:39.000 and now they're not overwhelmed by it. So yeah, and 107 00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:40.959 and keep in mind a group did that for me, 108 00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:45.279 previous Arizona team ninety four. And so yeah, that's what's 109 00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:47.079 one of the great things about you know, playing in 110 00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:48.839 a program like Arizona. 111 00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:50.680 You're gonna be on big stages. 112 00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:53.199 You're not always gonna win, but you're gonna maybe really 113 00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:55.439 get some good experience you can use for the next year. 114 00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:57.480 And as to your mentioned ninety seven was able to 115 00:04:57.480 --> 00:04:58.360 get hot and English. 116 00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:01.079 That one of the things that I think Loot did 117 00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:03.639 fantastically well. And you know this because you lived this, 118 00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:05.959 and I'm not sure it can be done anymore given 119 00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:09.519 the transfer stuff. And I almost see a cuss sword 120 00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:14.199 the transfer stuff where your first team and your second 121 00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:18.439 team could just go interchangeable and play each other tough 122 00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:20.680 to get ready for the game. You know what I'm saying, 123 00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:23.600 Your first team and your second team were not so 124 00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:24.879 much equal, but very close. 125 00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:26.800 No very close, I mean when you look back at 126 00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:30.759 I think that was one of the secret sauces for Arizona, 127 00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:33.399 that that those second line guys and third line guys 128 00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:36.399 were really future NBA guys, and we pushed each other 129 00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:39.720 every single day in practice. You know, as a freshman, 130 00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:41.800 I get to go against damis thought of my callip 131 00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:45.439 reeves both individuals were future NBA right, a lottery picks, right. 132 00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:48.399 And so I think even going forward now, looking fast 133 00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:51.600 forward to twenty twenty five, you know, and looking with 134 00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:52.759 some of the things that are coming out of the 135 00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:56.439 n C DOUBLA, with roster restrictions, we're no longer going 136 00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:58.439 to see twenty guys on the bench like we did 137 00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:00.759 last year with nine walk Ons. Gonna be a tighter 138 00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:03.560 bench fifteen guys. So I think there's gonna be more 139 00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:08.600 opportunities for first and second second groups. Yeah, the first 140 00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:11.040 team and second team groups to play against each other. Really, 141 00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:13.560 you know, kind of iron sharpening Ireland. 142 00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:16.720 As I like to say, without question, Yeah, how do 143 00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:17.800 you enjoy one? 144 00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:19.959 I'm gonna ask you a lot of questions because well, 145 00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:22.800 first of all, let's go into the guest lineup today, 146 00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:25.040 because it's got a pretty damn good one thanks to 147 00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:27.319 you and to a couple of people that said, yes, 148 00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:30.720 we're gonna have Rocky Coyle, former U of A baseball 149 00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:33.519 player captain and in nineteen eighty two, who lose I 150 00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:36.319 think in the North Carolina area. He's I think he 151 00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:38.360 was at the game over the weekend. So we'll see 152 00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:42.000 what he says about this baseball team. And then one 153 00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:45.040 of your buddies, what of guys? I know Kenny lofton 154 00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:48.360 last second addition, he's gonna be on at three forty. 155 00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:50.639 He's up to a lot of different things right in LA. 156 00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:53.759 He's got a lot of things going on. So three forty, 157 00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:55.959 that'll be a cool conversation. He's never been on the 158 00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:59.480 show before.

Now six 170 00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:23.160 years ago. It's hard to believe, but six years and 171 00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:26.800 Brian came up and and I always laugh, He said, hey, man, 172 00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:28.800 would you like maybe jubbing on the radio with me 173 00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:31.879 and being our color analyst or expert analysts?

I had done a lot 182 00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:55.079 of press conferences, so I was I was fairly comfortable 183 00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:57.120 in front of a microphone. It's just I never really 184 00:07:57.160 --> 00:07:59.800 called a game before, and so I always tell the story. 185 00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:01.920 We get to Oregon for my first game doing a 186 00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:05.519 broadcast with Brian and it's a top ten matchup between 187 00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:09.519 Arizona and the Ducks in Eugene and really no instructions 188 00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:10.399 kind of pushed me out there. 189 00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:11.639 So is that what sean? 190 00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:12.439 No? 191 00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:14.920 No, that was I believe the year after okay, yeah, 192 00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:17.079 the year after that road trip.

But 194 00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:22.000 that was kind of my baptism by fire in terms 195 00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:23.920 of our radio. And you said I could do this. 196 00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:26.839 I thought, if I, if I hold on to Brian 197 00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:30.560 very very tightly and this very very closely, then maybe 198 00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:32.639 I can.
