00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.119
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing well. Good to be back again.

10
00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:36.520
<v Speaker 3>Kind of the post game situation after the big basketball

11
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:38.000
<v Speaker 3>game last night, So what a game?

12
00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:39.920
<v Speaker 4>A lot to talk about. I was talking to somebody

13
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:42.240
<v Speaker 4>who's at the game last night during the game and

14
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:44.240
<v Speaker 4>after the game. What a to me?

15
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:46.479
<v Speaker 2>I don't know who lost your opinion a second, but

16
00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:48.880
<v Speaker 2>to me, it was a bunch of piranhas going at

17
00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:50.159
<v Speaker 2>it one and two.

18
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:53.079
<v Speaker 4>It was a sloppy, good fun game. Yeah it was.

19
00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:54.840
<v Speaker 4>It was a very evenly matched game.

20
00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:57.240
<v Speaker 3>The oddsmakers had it right on with like a you know,

21
00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:00.359
<v Speaker 3>one and a half point difference, and you know it's funny.

22
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:02.880
<v Speaker 3>I was thinking, well, Florida is actually gonna beat Houston

23
00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:05.760
<v Speaker 3>at Houston's game, and they were playing tough defense and

24
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:09.120
<v Speaker 3>kind of making things ugly, and nobody really shot very well.

25
00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:13.480
<v Speaker 3>Nobody could really you know, overpower anybody. You know, Houston

26
00:01:13.519 --> 00:01:15.280
<v Speaker 3>had the lead, but you know it was kind of

27
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:17.920
<v Speaker 3>just hanging there for Florida to take.

28
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:22.319
<v Speaker 2>Anybody smart from watching Saturday's game could have predicted this

29
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:25.920
<v Speaker 2>type of game because they saw two like this on Saturday.

30
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:27.959
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it was. It was fun to watch it, you know,

31
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:32.079
<v Speaker 4>anytime a game is close, you know, it was. It

32
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:32.439
<v Speaker 4>was good.

33
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:32.680
<v Speaker 5>It was.

34
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:34.799
<v Speaker 4>It was good TV and good to watch. Yeah.

35
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:37.400
<v Speaker 2>No, no, and drama till the end. Unfortunately, a bad

36
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:39.719
<v Speaker 2>play for Houston, A couple of bad plays for Houston.

37
00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:40.519
<v Speaker 4>Yeah at the end.

38
00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:43.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean they you know, they hesitated a big

39
00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:45.920
<v Speaker 3>time obviously on that last on the last possession. That

40
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:47.920
<v Speaker 3>should have just fired it up there and try to

41
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:50.079
<v Speaker 3>get the offensive rebund because they were doing that almost

42
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:52.680
<v Speaker 3>all game anyway, so that could have been their chance

43
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:54.400
<v Speaker 3>to maybe you know, steal the win or at least

44
00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:54.879
<v Speaker 3>tie it up.

45
00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:57.319
<v Speaker 2>I am not complaining to Dave. I know you did well.

46
00:01:57.359 --> 00:01:59.359
<v Speaker 2>I did well yesterday. Yeah, I said it all week

47
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:02.079
<v Speaker 2>last week. What I had Bet and Jay Owes meat

48
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:06.719
<v Speaker 2>dinner Now that's always a beating jay on anything is

49
00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:07.400
<v Speaker 2>fine for me.

50
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:10.159
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you know, I think I hate to say this.

51
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:12.000
<v Speaker 3>I mean we were talking to Ryan Hanson yesterday and

52
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:13.400
<v Speaker 3>he was saying, you know, all of a sudden, I'm

53
00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:15.800
<v Speaker 3>kind of rooting for the Big twelve, And that's kind

54
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:17.919
<v Speaker 3>of how I felt too. I was hoping a little

55
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:20.199
<v Speaker 3>bit just because you know, they're now part of that

56
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:22.680
<v Speaker 3>conference and we get to see these guys, we'll become

57
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:24.840
<v Speaker 3>sure they'll be coming into McHale again next year.

58
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:28.879
<v Speaker 2>And their favorite their favorite. Next year, there are number

59
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:32.080
<v Speaker 2>two too. I think there are number one in the

60
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:35.520
<v Speaker 2>ESPN Early Early Pole, Early top twenty five. Yeah, their

61
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:38.639
<v Speaker 2>second betting favorite. And I want to say Duke was

62
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:41.560
<v Speaker 2>the first favorite, but Duke was rated number ten. I

63
00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:43.400
<v Speaker 2>think it was just off the top next year.

64
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:45.800
<v Speaker 3>For next year, they're going to lose three guys, probably

65
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:47.280
<v Speaker 3>right off the bat Duke.

66
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:48.319
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, yeah.

67
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:50.879
<v Speaker 2>But you know how they rebuilt Arizona was seventeen, and

68
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:52.840
<v Speaker 2>that's of course without the rosters being fixed.

69
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:55.280
<v Speaker 3>Right now, Yeah, I mean, now it all begins again.

70
00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:57.599
<v Speaker 3>It's going to basically be like just pick up the confetti,

71
00:02:57.639 --> 00:02:59.199
<v Speaker 3>throw it up in the air and see you know,

72
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:02.680
<v Speaker 3>who lands where, And I'm sure it's the mad rush

73
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:03.400
<v Speaker 3>is underway.

74
00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:06.400
<v Speaker 2>So do you get more joy out of this season

75
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:11.120
<v Speaker 2>or not this season, this basketball seasons or the football seasons?

76
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:14.599
<v Speaker 4>Probably basketball.

77
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:19.400
<v Speaker 3>I mean it just culminates with this month of you know, drama. Basically,

78
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:21.439
<v Speaker 3>I think it's kind of cool. I mean, I'm not

79
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:24.680
<v Speaker 3>used to really the big college football playoff situation. I

80
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:26.719
<v Speaker 3>don't really have anything invested in any of these teams

81
00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:30.879
<v Speaker 3>just yet. Maybe someday it'll happen here. But with basketball,

82
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:34.680
<v Speaker 3>it's something you know as an Arizona resident and you

83
00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:36.439
<v Speaker 3>know you have a reporter for all those years.

84
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:37.879
<v Speaker 4>I still get caught up in that.

85
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:41.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and this is the bread and butter of the city,

86
00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:45.759
<v Speaker 2>of the University, of the fans. A little bread and

87
00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:49.159
<v Speaker 2>butter has been with the women's program. Today we're gonna

88
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:52.319
<v Speaker 2>have Joan bon Messini, former you of a women's basketball coach,

89
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:54.840
<v Speaker 2>obviously now turned TV analyst.

90
00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:55.919
<v Speaker 4>Colored person.

91
00:03:55.960 --> 00:04:00.400
<v Speaker 2>I think she's the She's the colored person, right with with.

92
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:04.280
<v Speaker 3>Cindy brun Sindy usually yes, but yeah, John, of course

93
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:06.080
<v Speaker 3>he's done. She's done a nice job of making the

94
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:08.919
<v Speaker 3>transition over to the broadcasting. But she did the pack

95
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:10.639
<v Speaker 3>twelve games and she's been doing it a while and

96
00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:12.120
<v Speaker 3>then stuck with the ESPN plus.

97
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:14.319
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, she's getting her chance to talk. Well, see

98
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:18.079
<v Speaker 2>how deep we go into the idea situation. Obviously she

99
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:21.560
<v Speaker 2>was her mentor and her coach, coach, and prob they're

100
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:24.040
<v Speaker 2>pretty very close. I'm gonna ask for the same question

101
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:27.240
<v Speaker 2>they asked Rhino yesterday about, uh, you have a person

102
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:31.040
<v Speaker 2>making decent money, uh, and how do you keep them happier?

103
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:33.800
<v Speaker 4>Do you even care? You're talking about players? Players?

104
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:37.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean it's a different, different era

105
00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:39.839
<v Speaker 3>and she was, you know, in a different different spot

106
00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:41.680
<v Speaker 3>where she was coaching when you know she had a

107
00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:43.519
<v Speaker 3>you know, an a Da Barnes and players like that.

108
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:47.199
<v Speaker 3>You know, she's in that collection of coaches that were

109
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:49.000
<v Speaker 3>brought in by said Dempsey too. So that'd be a

110
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:52.600
<v Speaker 3>good thing to hear with. Yeah, she feels about Yeah,

111
00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:55.040
<v Speaker 3>I think so. Yeah, well, okay, I thought maybe living good.

112
00:04:55.160 --> 00:05:00.720
<v Speaker 3>We'll check be sure. Okowski, She replays Okowski, Okaykowski. Maybe

113
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:02.800
<v Speaker 3>Olkowski was at the end she fired. You're probably right

114
00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:04.720
<v Speaker 3>because you had to be like ninety two ish, yeah,

115
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:08.000
<v Speaker 3>ninety two okay, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, because Cedric came

116
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:11.639
<v Speaker 3>in well what in ninety three. Yeah, that's what we're

117
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:14.000
<v Speaker 3>talking about with, right, Yeah, Okay, we're gonna have her

118
00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:17.199
<v Speaker 3>at three three, seventeen, three eighteen around there, and then

119
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:19.519
<v Speaker 3>at the four to seventeen how we're going to talk

120
00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:22.199
<v Speaker 3>to Aaron Torres from Fox Sports. He was at the

121
00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:25.319
<v Speaker 3>games last night and we'll have him in. He's obviously

122
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:28.600
<v Speaker 3>covers Arizona very heavily, and then we'll talk about the

123
00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:29.319
<v Speaker 3>national seed.

124
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:30.079
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

125
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:33.199
<v Speaker 4>He loves as Sean Miller and he loves oh yeah.

126
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:36.560
<v Speaker 2>He's a he's a defender and frightly, so I guess

127
00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:38.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, he was the one that kind of believed

128
00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:39.319
<v Speaker 2>everything he was saying at the time.

129
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:41.600
<v Speaker 3>That's gonna be an interesting story to watch too, what

130
00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:44.360
<v Speaker 3>he can do and there in Texas with his you know,

131
00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:47.800
<v Speaker 3>recruiting ability and his background and yeah, you know, they've

132
00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:49.199
<v Speaker 3>got all the resources in the world.

133
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:50.600
<v Speaker 4>You know, how is he going to make out here

134
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:52.160
<v Speaker 4>in the next couple of years.

135
00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:56.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's only fifty five, so well was young, and yeah,

136
00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:57.879
<v Speaker 2>you still have a lot of wins.

137
00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:01.519
<v Speaker 4>Obviously we'll see a lot of success. So there's that.

138
00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:04.720
<v Speaker 2>Uh, you were talking about the the thing that we

139
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:07.839
<v Speaker 2>should have come out yesterday, the legislation still on hold,

140
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:08.720
<v Speaker 2>on hold.

141
00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:11.639
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, there there there's a judge that's going to decide

142
00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:13.480
<v Speaker 3>all this and that's still on hold. So I guess

143
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:16.399
<v Speaker 3>we'll just have to, you know, let her sort things out.

144
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:18.439
<v Speaker 3>But it's gonna be it's gonna be a big deal

145
00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:21.480
<v Speaker 3>for every university. The key couple of key things that

146
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:26.800
<v Speaker 3>are missing or delaying. You don't have to, yeah, I mean,

147
00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:30.600
<v Speaker 3>dog in the ice, make sure the language can just.

148
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:31.079
<v Speaker 4>Make sure that.

149
00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:31.319
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

150
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:31.920
<v Speaker 4>I don't want to.

151
00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:34.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to speak out of turn exactly, especially

152
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:36.480
<v Speaker 3>when it comes to the law. But I think everybody

153
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:38.839
<v Speaker 3>kind of knows that twenty million issues going to be

154
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:41.439
<v Speaker 3>coming just about every athletic department and how they're going

155
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:42.279
<v Speaker 3>to vv that up.

156
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:46.079
<v Speaker 2>And we talked to Rocky and she said, you know

157
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:47.800
<v Speaker 2>it's soon to be seen. That brought up the time

158
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:52.279
<v Speaker 2>of line thing. Where does the the the divide of

159
00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:54.079
<v Speaker 2>money sit with you?

160
00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:57.000
<v Speaker 3>Well, I mean it's obviously they with football brings in

161
00:06:57.040 --> 00:06:58.360
<v Speaker 3>the most, so they're going to get the most and

162
00:06:58.360 --> 00:06:59.800
<v Speaker 3>they have the most players, so that's kind of what

163
00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:00.839
<v Speaker 3>they decided to do.

164
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:02.040
<v Speaker 4>I think it's like seventy five.

165
00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:04.639
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and then the basketballs are going to get kind

166
00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:09.519
<v Speaker 3>of the next wrong men's for sure, and then everything

167
00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:12.920
<v Speaker 3>else can be kind of spread out baseball, softball, swimming, golf,

168
00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:14.160
<v Speaker 3>and guess.

169
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:16.319
<v Speaker 4>What those teams do. They don't bring much. They don't

170
00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:17.480
<v Speaker 4>bring any at all.

171
00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:20.279
<v Speaker 3>Track and you know, yeah, I mean softball and baseball

172
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:21.959
<v Speaker 3>get fans and stuff, but.

173
00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:24.399
<v Speaker 4>Those are losses, those are lost leaders, you know want these.

174
00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:27.279
<v Speaker 3>And women's hoops, I mean maybe still I don't know,

175
00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:28.240
<v Speaker 3>it used to really be bad.

176
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:30.360
<v Speaker 4>No, no, they're still got better still in the red.

177
00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:33.600
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, yeah, and that was one of the ideas,

178
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:37.319
<v Speaker 2>big complaints, you know that we're only getting this uh

179
00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:41.360
<v Speaker 2>and she'll be able to get more at SMU given

180
00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:44.759
<v Speaker 2>the given the nil and the backers.

181
00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:45.319
<v Speaker 4>Right right.

182
00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:47.519
<v Speaker 3>You know that's where you know, the view of a

183
00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:49.360
<v Speaker 3>and they know they need to kind of pick up

184
00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:51.399
<v Speaker 3>the pace when it comes to the fundraising, and that's

185
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:54.199
<v Speaker 3>gonna you know, maybe keep these coaches from going off

186
00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:56.240
<v Speaker 3>to an SMU of the world or any of some

187
00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:58.759
<v Speaker 3>of the other schools that have huge endowments and huge

188
00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:00.839
<v Speaker 3>funds of money available.

189
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:03.920
<v Speaker 2>When you when you were doing your fundraising and you

190
00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:08.439
<v Speaker 2>went around the country, you were talking to UA alums,

191
00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:13.160
<v Speaker 2>right right, did you kind of felt did you did

192
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:18.399
<v Speaker 2>you kind of feel as a as a like a

193
00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:20.879
<v Speaker 2>second fiddle? This is this is a dumb question because

194
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:22.759
<v Speaker 2>I was thinking about it and then now I just

195
00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:24.920
<v Speaker 2>lost my strength. Thought, like, you go into Dallas. I'm

196
00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:26.199
<v Speaker 2>sure you went to Dallas a time or two.

197
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:26.879
<v Speaker 4>Actually I didn't.

198
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:30.439
<v Speaker 2>You didn't, Okay, So so it's just goes okay, and

199
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:32.600
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot of alums up there, right, but did

200
00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:33.200
<v Speaker 2>you compete?

201
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:34.480
<v Speaker 4>And I'm sure this is not the case.

202
00:08:34.519 --> 00:08:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it was Stanford because they have a kid at Stanford,

203
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:39.519
<v Speaker 2>or you know what I'm saying, they have a diverse

204
00:08:40.039 --> 00:08:41.679
<v Speaker 2>or a conflicting.

205
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:44.879
<v Speaker 3>Issue, right, I mean basically, you begin that process by

206
00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:47.879
<v Speaker 3>looking at the alum and mainly what do they major in?

207
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:50.480
<v Speaker 3>Maybe you can find out some background about them, like

208
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:53.679
<v Speaker 3>what their job is now because it's just available on

209
00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:57.279
<v Speaker 3>a LinkedIn or websites and things like that. But you know,

210
00:08:57.519 --> 00:08:59.840
<v Speaker 3>almost every time you'd be surprised at what else you

211
00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:01.039
<v Speaker 3>once you meet them.

212
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:02.519
<v Speaker 4>You know, you've got they've got.

213
00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:04.840
<v Speaker 3>Other kids going to private schools or paying you know,

214
00:09:04.879 --> 00:09:07.440
<v Speaker 3>seventy five thousand dollars a year to send their kid

215
00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:11.600
<v Speaker 3>to SMU or to wherever you know, University of Pacific

216
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:13.519
<v Speaker 3>or someplace, so you would.

217
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:14.440
<v Speaker 4>Run into that quite a bit.

218
00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:16.440
<v Speaker 3>So it wasn't like a given that just because these

219
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:18.720
<v Speaker 3>people were successful and they were lums, that they were

220
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:19.799
<v Speaker 3>going to give back to the school.

221
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:23.320
<v Speaker 2>It just doesn't work that How how this is another question,

222
00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:27.759
<v Speaker 2>how how success not successful? But well, yeah, successful, I'll

223
00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:29.759
<v Speaker 2>give you ten ten targets.

224
00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:34.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, if you could get a meeting with two of them,

225
00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:37.960
<v Speaker 3>real successful, just a meeting meeting. Yeah, a lot of

226
00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:40.360
<v Speaker 3>people just aren't interested. They just know, you know, that

227
00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:42.480
<v Speaker 3>you're there to just you know, kind of see what's

228
00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:45.120
<v Speaker 3>going on in there if they want to stay connected

229
00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:47.039
<v Speaker 3>in some way to the to the college.

230
00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:52.200
<v Speaker 4>Just getting the meeting that was a miracle sometimes soldered.

231
00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:54.399
<v Speaker 2>You said two, and then I guess if you get

232
00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:56.519
<v Speaker 2>one of those two, that's a.

233
00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:58.039
<v Speaker 3>And you don't even know what you're going to get

234
00:09:58.039 --> 00:09:59.799
<v Speaker 3>out of the two meetings. That's the you know, that's

235
00:09:59.799 --> 00:10:04.720
<v Speaker 3>the difficult thing of raising money here anywhere. Maybe it's

236
00:10:04.759 --> 00:10:06.759
<v Speaker 3>a little bit easier on some of the bigger schools

237
00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:09.440
<v Speaker 3>that have you know, some pretty wealthy alums that are

238
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:11.200
<v Speaker 3>just going to okay, we're going to here, we'll write

239
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:13.720
<v Speaker 3>you a check. But usually the check isn't nearly as much

240
00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:14.600
<v Speaker 3>as you expect it to be.

241
00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:18.559
<v Speaker 2>So so uh, given that you're not in that business

242
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:21.679
<v Speaker 2>forever and you happened upon it in the last part

243
00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:22.159
<v Speaker 2>of your life.

244
00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:26.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, did you? Did you take no very well before

245
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:31.519
<v Speaker 4>you got into this business? Uh? Not really, but you

246
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:33.679
<v Speaker 4>you definitely have to learn. I would never survive that

247
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:34.320
<v Speaker 4>business now.

248
00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:37.559
<v Speaker 3>Usually the good thing about it is, even though it

249
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:40.919
<v Speaker 3>might have been a no today, they're still going to

250
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:43.240
<v Speaker 3>be there and you can still work and maybe go

251
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:45.000
<v Speaker 3>back to them in a couple of years. Say, listen,

252
00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:46.559
<v Speaker 3>you know, I know things are going to be changing

253
00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:48.240
<v Speaker 3>in your life. Your your kids are going to be

254
00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:50.639
<v Speaker 3>graduating from these expensive colleges. You're not gonna have to

255
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:53.639
<v Speaker 3>send your kids to private high schools. YadA, YadA. You know,

256
00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:55.440
<v Speaker 3>would it be good? Would it be okay?

257
00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:56.480
<v Speaker 4>If I gave you a call in a couple O

258
00:10:56.559 --> 00:10:59.000
<v Speaker 4>case how it works? And I'm sure? Okay?

259
00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:04.399
<v Speaker 2>So I'm I'm alum b or a. Yeah, Dave, I

260
00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:06.320
<v Speaker 2>really it was great to meet you, Dave. I saw you.

261
00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:07.960
<v Speaker 2>I saw you on TV when I was at school.

262
00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:12.639
<v Speaker 2>Good to see you, good guy. Uh, but uh, don't

263
00:11:12.679 --> 00:11:13.519
<v Speaker 2>ever call you again.

264
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:17.480
<v Speaker 3>Did you hear that, oh yeah, really something. Usually they

265
00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:19.799
<v Speaker 3>weren't that mean about it. Usually it's just like we're

266
00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:23.000
<v Speaker 3>not really interested. You know, Uh, I appreciate your you're

267
00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:24.759
<v Speaker 3>reaching out. You know, I had a great time at

268
00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:26.039
<v Speaker 3>the u of A Da Da Da da Da, and

269
00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:28.679
<v Speaker 3>I would sometimes just take that as the end. But

270
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:30.519
<v Speaker 3>then there's other ways you can sort of work your

271
00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:34.399
<v Speaker 3>way back into their good graces, sending them information, you know,

272
00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:37.320
<v Speaker 3>sending them links. I mean, there's all kinds of places

273
00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:40.759
<v Speaker 3>available just around the U of A campus that has,

274
00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:44.600
<v Speaker 3>you know, have news items if you will, that you

275
00:11:44.600 --> 00:11:47.480
<v Speaker 3>can just send them. Hey, you know, you majored in history.

276
00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:49.720
<v Speaker 3>Here's you know, here's the latest newsletter from the Department

277
00:11:49.720 --> 00:11:50.159
<v Speaker 3>of History.

278
00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:52.159
<v Speaker 2>So I asked, and I've been leading these questions into

279
00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:55.320
<v Speaker 2>this direction because I'm assuming that, uh that M I

280
00:11:55.519 --> 00:11:58.639
<v Speaker 2>L and all that they're having the same issues, n

281
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:00.639
<v Speaker 2>I L. Well, trying to get the same money.

282
00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:05.679
<v Speaker 3>Probably Yeah, yeah, I mean I don't I think, you know,

283
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:07.879
<v Speaker 3>I'm probably not a good person to talk about that

284
00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:09.320
<v Speaker 3>because I never really did it, but I would love

285
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:12.200
<v Speaker 3>to hear how they approach it. You know, a couple

286
00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:15.480
<v Speaker 3>of people approached me saying, oh, the nil people gave

287
00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:17.720
<v Speaker 3>me a call what is this all about? And I

288
00:12:17.720 --> 00:12:20.240
<v Speaker 3>would have to kind of backtrack and come back to

289
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:22.279
<v Speaker 3>campus and try to find out, Well, who called them?

290
00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:23.639
<v Speaker 3>I don't, you know, I don't even know who these

291
00:12:23.639 --> 00:12:25.000
<v Speaker 3>people are, so it was a little bit of a

292
00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:29.120
<v Speaker 3>different group. But I think from what I understand, athletics

293
00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:31.519
<v Speaker 3>is going to be involved more with NIL going forward,

294
00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:35.440
<v Speaker 3>especially with this new ruling going on, and they're going

295
00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:37.559
<v Speaker 3>to be allowed to raise money for NIL.

296
00:12:38.159 --> 00:12:39.000
<v Speaker 4>And they weren't before.

297
00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:41.799
<v Speaker 2>I don't think so well, because now they have to

298
00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:45.120
<v Speaker 2>find twenty million dollars, right, they have to fight twenty

299
00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:48.200
<v Speaker 2>million the user, the flight department, right on top of

300
00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:50.639
<v Speaker 2>what if they don't make twenty million profit twenty million

301
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:51.320
<v Speaker 2>good question.

302
00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:55.120
<v Speaker 4>I don't know, it would be good.

303

<v Speaker 2>and the Cedric had hired you. Just your thoughts on

453
00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:17.920
<v Speaker 2>that period of time and who the man was.

454
00:20:20.079 --> 00:20:24.400
<v Speaker 7>Well, said, Demse did hire me. You know, I only

455
00:20:24.440 --> 00:20:26.519
<v Speaker 7>got to work for him for a couple of years

456
00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:30.720
<v Speaker 7>because he then left two and you know, be in

457
00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:34.599
<v Speaker 7>charge of the NCAA. But it was a fantastic leader.

458
00:20:35.720 --> 00:20:37.880
<v Speaker 7>I you know, you don't realize that when you're hired,

459
00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:42.200
<v Speaker 7>but there's you know, the people he hired were fantastic people.

460
00:20:42.279 --> 00:20:47.680
<v Speaker 7>We had great people in administration, excellent leadership.

461
00:20:47.880 --> 00:20:50.480
<v Speaker 16>You know, and oh we had fantastic.

462
00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:52.640
<v Speaker 7>Coaches and we were all very close. You know. I

463
00:20:52.759 --> 00:20:56.839
<v Speaker 7>was hired to change the program because I think they

464
00:20:56.839 --> 00:20:59.400
<v Speaker 7>had one winning season when I was hired, and that

465
00:20:59.599 --> 00:21:05.359
<v Speaker 7>was like fifteen and fourteen. No postseason. But it took longer.

466
00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:07.920
<v Speaker 16>Than it does today because it didn't have the you know.

467
00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:11.319
<v Speaker 7>The portal for kids to come in.

468
00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:12.960
<v Speaker 13>But so it took a.

469
00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:15.519
<v Speaker 7>Little longer than I wanted. But we ended up having

470
00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:16.640
<v Speaker 7>pretty good teams.

471
00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:19.759
<v Speaker 3>And what what How did they sell you on Arizona

472
00:21:19.799 --> 00:21:22.759
<v Speaker 3>because like you said, it was the cupboard was kind

473
00:21:22.759 --> 00:21:23.599
<v Speaker 3>of bear and things.

474
00:21:23.640 --> 00:21:26.519
<v Speaker 4>Really, you know, there was not much here. You had

475
00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:27.559
<v Speaker 4>great process.

476
00:21:27.640 --> 00:21:31.119
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, when I left Long Beach, I was the winningest

477
00:21:31.160 --> 00:21:35.640
<v Speaker 7>coaches coach five percentage in America. I had more wins

478
00:21:35.799 --> 00:21:39.000
<v Speaker 7>and you know, gone to a couple final fours. I

479
00:21:39.079 --> 00:21:41.519
<v Speaker 7>was coach of the Year for the country. I had

480
00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:45.599
<v Speaker 7>players of the Year for the country, a couple of Olympians.

481
00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:49.480
<v Speaker 7>And what happened, to be very honest, is uh. I mean,

482
00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:52.559
<v Speaker 7>I'm a big I like to recruit. I'm one of

483
00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:55.440
<v Speaker 7>the coaches who likes to recruit, and I was a

484
00:21:55.559 --> 00:21:59.240
<v Speaker 7>very successful recruiter because I had good relationships with the

485
00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:03.440
<v Speaker 7>players and we before when I first got to Long Beach,

486
00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:08.200
<v Speaker 7>we were in the same conference with ea C, la UFC, Stanford,

487
00:22:09.279 --> 00:22:12.079
<v Speaker 7>and we had won that conference. We were in six years,

488
00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:15.279
<v Speaker 7>we wonted five out of six years. We then went

489
00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:18.200
<v Speaker 7>to it was then PC Double A and Big West

490
00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:21.880
<v Speaker 7>and we were very successful again won I think we

491
00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:24.559
<v Speaker 7>won the conference five out of six years, but the

492
00:22:24.640 --> 00:22:28.799
<v Speaker 7>last couple of years in that conference because more money

493
00:22:29.119 --> 00:22:32.119
<v Speaker 7>was going then into the pack at that time, PAC

494
00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:36.920
<v Speaker 7>ten for women. So people that we would routinely be

495
00:22:38.319 --> 00:22:41.160
<v Speaker 7>I would recruit, but they'd end up going to UCLA

496
00:22:41.440 --> 00:22:45.880
<v Speaker 7>or USC. And the real reason, the straw that broke

497
00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:49.759
<v Speaker 7>the camel's back was Lisa Leslie, who was sort of

498
00:22:49.799 --> 00:22:53.119
<v Speaker 7>a good player, the best really even now, probably the

499
00:22:53.160 --> 00:22:58.400
<v Speaker 7>best post ever in women's basketball history. Uh. She actually

500
00:22:58.480 --> 00:23:01.920
<v Speaker 7>committed to me on at Long Beach on a Sunday

501
00:23:02.720 --> 00:23:06.839
<v Speaker 7>and on Tuesday that things changed, and you know, long

502
00:23:06.839 --> 00:23:11.039
<v Speaker 7>story short, she went to USC. She had a fantastic career.

503
00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:16.200
<v Speaker 7>But I knew then that women's basketball was going to

504
00:23:16.279 --> 00:23:20.200
<v Speaker 7>change and had changed, and I didn't want to get

505
00:23:20.240 --> 00:23:24.720
<v Speaker 7>caught being on the short end because I'm so competitive,

506
00:23:25.400 --> 00:23:29.279
<v Speaker 7>and I had met Cedric Dempsey previously, I had met

507
00:23:29.400 --> 00:23:32.839
<v Speaker 7>Lude Olsen and his wife had some Nike you know,

508
00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:37.680
<v Speaker 7>vacations and things, and so there was actually an intermediary

509
00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:41.480
<v Speaker 7>who came to me in December, who was my former

510
00:23:41.519 --> 00:23:45.079
<v Speaker 7>athletic director, John Casser, who used to work for SET

511
00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:48.759
<v Speaker 7>at Houston. And John said to me, he said, I

512
00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:51.039
<v Speaker 7>was out at that time, you could scout. I think

513
00:23:51.079 --> 00:23:54.880
<v Speaker 7>I was scouting Santa Barbara and this is December, and

514
00:23:54.920 --> 00:23:59.079
<v Speaker 7>he said, Joan Arizona is really interested in you. And

515
00:23:59.119 --> 00:24:01.359
<v Speaker 7>he goes, are you in interested in talking with them?

516
00:24:01.359 --> 00:24:04.200
<v Speaker 7>And I said, yeah, I am, but I don't want

517
00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:08.799
<v Speaker 7>to talk to them again until my season's over. So

518
00:24:08.920 --> 00:24:13.480
<v Speaker 7>we went that year to the regional unfortunately lost in

519
00:24:13.559 --> 00:24:17.599
<v Speaker 7>the sweet sixteen, and came back in the office. I

520
00:24:17.680 --> 00:24:20.079
<v Speaker 7>don't know if it was Monday Tuesday. I do something

521
00:24:20.160 --> 00:24:23.400
<v Speaker 7>I only do after the season's over. I played some

522
00:24:23.599 --> 00:24:27.559
<v Speaker 7>golf and I came in and got a message from Rocky.

523
00:24:27.759 --> 00:24:30.079
<v Speaker 7>Rocky Lorose called me, and I thought it was some

524
00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:37.119
<v Speaker 7>Italian person. But anyway, that's how because they had never

525
00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:41.000
<v Speaker 7>called me until the season was over. But anyway, you know,

526
00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:43.119
<v Speaker 7>it was a smart thing to do.

527
00:24:44.720 --> 00:24:46.039
<v Speaker 16>You know, it was a smart thing to do.

528
00:24:46.160 --> 00:24:49.759
<v Speaker 7>I probably looking back, there's things I would have done differently.

529
00:24:49.839 --> 00:24:53.119
<v Speaker 7>I would have had players, because I wouldn't let kids

530
00:24:53.160 --> 00:24:58.000
<v Speaker 7>transfer with me, and they all wanted to some really

531
00:24:58.000 --> 00:25:00.960
<v Speaker 7>good ones, but I didn't want long each state to

532
00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:04.440
<v Speaker 7>get mad, and looking back, you know, their careers weren't

533
00:25:04.440 --> 00:25:07.440
<v Speaker 7>the same after I left, and would have helped me

534
00:25:07.799 --> 00:25:10.759
<v Speaker 7>at Arizona. But you know, it is what it is.

535
00:25:10.839 --> 00:25:14.160
<v Speaker 7>But you know, I loved working at Arizona. I mean

536
00:25:14.200 --> 00:25:19.279
<v Speaker 7>there was you know, coaching is a tough profession, but

537
00:25:19.400 --> 00:25:23.720
<v Speaker 7>I loved it. I loved my relationship with the players

538
00:25:23.759 --> 00:25:27.640
<v Speaker 7>and it was good. And I'm still obviously involved in

539
00:25:27.680 --> 00:25:32.000
<v Speaker 7>the university. I'm now broadcasting their games and did that

540
00:25:32.119 --> 00:25:34.640
<v Speaker 7>also with Pac twelve Networks.

541
00:25:34.720 --> 00:25:39.759
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, well you just talked about about coaching. What

542
00:25:39.799 --> 00:25:43.079
<v Speaker 2>do you make of the idea situation now that she's gone.

543
00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:50.839
<v Speaker 7>I think in this case, both parties benefited, yes, and

544
00:25:50.960 --> 00:25:56.559
<v Speaker 7>will benefit from the change. I think an idea. You know,

545
00:25:56.640 --> 00:25:59.359
<v Speaker 7>no coach wants to go in and be a lame

546
00:25:59.480 --> 00:26:04.000
<v Speaker 7>duck coach, and Arizona made it clear they weren't renewing

547
00:26:04.680 --> 00:26:07.039
<v Speaker 7>her contract because that would have been done a long

548
00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:11.240
<v Speaker 7>time ago, and I think fortunate for Ada she got in.

549
00:26:11.559 --> 00:26:15.599
<v Speaker 7>I think she made a really smart move and I

550
00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:19.839
<v Speaker 7>think she'll be super successful at SMU. I do I

551
00:26:19.880 --> 00:26:23.839
<v Speaker 7>think she's given a lot of resources, and you go

552
00:26:23.960 --> 00:26:28.480
<v Speaker 7>to fresh start, you know, and she's someplace new athletic

553
00:26:28.559 --> 00:26:34.359
<v Speaker 7>director who she knows. You know, I can't state enough.

554
00:26:34.400 --> 00:26:37.960
<v Speaker 7>You know, when you are somewhere and someone really wants you,

555
00:26:38.440 --> 00:26:41.200
<v Speaker 7>I think that's a strong emotion and you got something

556
00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:45.440
<v Speaker 7>to prove. I learned a long time ago, never underestimate

557
00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:46.759
<v Speaker 7>Ada Barnes.

558
00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:51.279
<v Speaker 16>So I think she'll be super successful in a very

559
00:26:51.319 --> 00:26:54.759
<v Speaker 16>good conference at the ACC. And on the other hand, I.

560
00:26:54.680 --> 00:26:59.359
<v Speaker 7>Think Arizona has an opportunity to hire who they want.

561
00:26:59.680 --> 00:27:02.519
<v Speaker 7>You know, they wanted to change, and now they have

562
00:27:02.559 --> 00:27:08.759
<v Speaker 7>an opportunity to get someone that the athletic director wants

563
00:27:09.000 --> 00:27:11.079
<v Speaker 7>because you know, I mean when you're in business, and

564
00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:15.000
<v Speaker 7>this is business, I mean you want your own person.

565
00:27:15.079 --> 00:27:18.400
<v Speaker 7>And so she's going to have an opportunity to hire

566
00:27:18.880 --> 00:27:24.000
<v Speaker 7>someone she wants and then give them the resources to

567
00:27:24.079 --> 00:27:24.920
<v Speaker 7>be successful.

568
00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:28.400
<v Speaker 3>I was going to say resources seems to be one

569
00:27:28.400 --> 00:27:31.200
<v Speaker 3>of the key words in college sports these days. Does

570
00:27:31.240 --> 00:27:34.319
<v Speaker 3>Arizona have the resources to get a high quality coach

571
00:27:34.920 --> 00:27:37.920
<v Speaker 3>in your opinion, Well.

572
00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:40.079
<v Speaker 7>They had a high quality coach, and they paid a

573
00:27:40.079 --> 00:27:42.799
<v Speaker 7>lot of money and they had you know, people are saying, well,

574
00:27:42.799 --> 00:27:45.279
<v Speaker 7>why did you get paid. I mean historical, let me

575
00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:49.079
<v Speaker 7>go quickly. A deal was the lowest paid coach by

576
00:27:49.119 --> 00:27:51.839
<v Speaker 7>a lot when she was hired. I mean it was

577
00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:56.079
<v Speaker 7>ridiculous low. Okay, let's be honest. She then was given

578
00:27:56.119 --> 00:27:59.880
<v Speaker 7>a raise, which probably moved her about seventh in the

579
00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:05.079
<v Speaker 7>conference four hundred thousand. Then the year she was on,

580
00:28:05.359 --> 00:28:08.480
<v Speaker 7>she went to the sweet sixteen. Because they were top

581
00:28:08.519 --> 00:28:13.240
<v Speaker 7>ten for most of the year, they increased it. I

582
00:28:13.279 --> 00:28:17.200
<v Speaker 7>want to say it about seven hundred or eight hundred significant.

583
00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:21.079
<v Speaker 7>And then what do you know, because I was at

584
00:28:21.079 --> 00:28:23.880
<v Speaker 7>the Games at the final four, she's she beats Yukon.

585
00:28:24.680 --> 00:28:27.480
<v Speaker 7>I mean, beating Yukon is ahead. Go look at their

586
00:28:27.519 --> 00:28:31.759
<v Speaker 7>record the last ten years. Beat them. I mean it

587
00:28:31.799 --> 00:28:36.079
<v Speaker 7>was unbelievable. And I'm walking out of the the arena

588
00:28:36.200 --> 00:28:39.559
<v Speaker 7>and it was in San Antonio and Dave Pekey's there,

589
00:28:39.680 --> 00:28:44.240
<v Speaker 7>and at that time President Robbins and I looked at

590
00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:47.720
<v Speaker 7>it and they're looking at me, just smiling, and I said,

591
00:28:47.960 --> 00:28:51.079
<v Speaker 7>I know, you just gave Ada a new contract, but

592
00:28:51.599 --> 00:28:54.160
<v Speaker 7>I hate to say it, You're going to probably have

593
00:28:54.240 --> 00:28:57.599
<v Speaker 7>to do something more. Yeah, I said that, and he goes,

594
00:28:57.839 --> 00:29:00.839
<v Speaker 7>and this is Doc Robert. He goes, Joe I just

595
00:29:00.920 --> 00:29:04.000
<v Speaker 7>told day of that. But that wasn't the thing that

596
00:29:04.160 --> 00:29:06.799
<v Speaker 7>got idea. The more money. I mean that part of

597
00:29:06.839 --> 00:29:11.680
<v Speaker 7>it was. What it really was is that she not

598
00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:14.279
<v Speaker 7>only was offered, I mean she was ready to go

599
00:29:14.799 --> 00:29:18.160
<v Speaker 7>to Baylor. I mean, and they offered at that time,

600
00:29:19.079 --> 00:29:23.440
<v Speaker 7>I think one point three million. They offered one point

601
00:29:23.480 --> 00:29:27.880
<v Speaker 7>three million, and she had made an arrangement and I

602
00:29:27.880 --> 00:29:30.920
<v Speaker 7>don't think I'm speaking out of turn that if if

603
00:29:30.960 --> 00:29:32.960
<v Speaker 7>they could go, because she was ready to go. I

604
00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:36.160
<v Speaker 7>mean he was ready. That ad was on I think,

605
00:29:36.200 --> 00:29:41.240
<v Speaker 7>on the runway, ready to come here, and she said

606
00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:44.599
<v Speaker 7>she would stay for a million, and that's how that's

607
00:29:44.640 --> 00:29:47.200
<v Speaker 7>why it got to where it was. But honestly, she

608
00:29:47.359 --> 00:29:49.000
<v Speaker 7>was going to be gone. I mean I know that

609
00:29:49.160 --> 00:29:52.559
<v Speaker 7>after because we talked. But that's how it got up there.

610
00:29:53.400 --> 00:29:57.599
<v Speaker 7>And honestly, when you look at other people and what

611
00:29:58.079 --> 00:30:00.960
<v Speaker 7>you know, go in the final. I mean she's a

612
00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:04.039
<v Speaker 7>point away from winning the title. I mean, that's what

613
00:30:04.079 --> 00:30:08.079
<v Speaker 7>you do. And if Arizona didn't come up with a million,

614
00:30:08.720 --> 00:30:11.240
<v Speaker 7>she would have left. I mean, and people think, well,

615
00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:15.640
<v Speaker 7>she's an alarm I mean, let me see, I can

616
00:30:15.680 --> 00:30:19.640
<v Speaker 7>say this like I was, I wanted to coach and

617
00:30:19.720 --> 00:30:24.039
<v Speaker 7>most people I know in my you know, age group, whatever,

618
00:30:24.440 --> 00:30:26.839
<v Speaker 7>we were in to coach for as long as we could.

619
00:30:26.920 --> 00:30:31.480
<v Speaker 7>We were lifers. And I can't speak for everyone. You know,

620
00:30:31.559 --> 00:30:35.440
<v Speaker 7>people aren't like Gino or Path Summit or Tara anymore.

621
00:30:36.079 --> 00:30:38.559
<v Speaker 7>They want to make as much money as they.

622
00:30:38.400 --> 00:30:42.440
<v Speaker 16>Can, be successful and then get out on their turns.

623
00:30:42.480 --> 00:30:46.000
<v Speaker 16>It's just different now, yes, but you.

624
00:30:45.960 --> 00:30:47.160
<v Speaker 7>Know that's the way it is.

625
00:30:47.319 --> 00:30:51.440
<v Speaker 16>And that's I'm just gonna say that's the way it is.

626
00:30:51.480 --> 00:30:52.240
<v Speaker 7>It's just different.

627
00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:55.000
<v Speaker 2>It's a lot different, right right. Well, you saw what

628
00:30:55.119 --> 00:30:58.240
<v Speaker 2>well you started just to establish and you did very well.

629
00:30:58.279 --> 00:31:01.160
<v Speaker 2>Obviously she took over the rings eventure and did what

630
00:31:01.200 --> 00:31:02.880
<v Speaker 2>she did, which turned into.

631
00:31:02.599 --> 00:31:03.599
<v Speaker 4>Some great heights.

632
00:31:04.920 --> 00:31:08.160
<v Speaker 2>And is that program sustainable into doing it again?

633
00:31:10.720 --> 00:31:14.359
<v Speaker 7>You can, especially now you can do it again because

634
00:31:15.359 --> 00:31:18.279
<v Speaker 7>I mean, you know, usually in the past you would

635
00:31:18.319 --> 00:31:21.480
<v Speaker 7>get a contract and you get three to four years

636
00:31:21.519 --> 00:31:25.960
<v Speaker 7>to turn the program around. Well, honestly, you have two

637
00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:30.680
<v Speaker 7>to three now to turn it around because with the portal,

638
00:31:31.279 --> 00:31:34.240
<v Speaker 7>if you're given I mean, and I hate to say it,

639
00:31:34.240 --> 00:31:38.640
<v Speaker 7>it's about two things. It's about money and relationships. And

640
00:31:38.680 --> 00:31:42.960
<v Speaker 7>I said money first, because before it was about relationships.

641
00:31:43.799 --> 00:31:47.359
<v Speaker 7>That's not what people ask you know, kids asking if

642
00:31:47.359 --> 00:31:50.359
<v Speaker 7>you get take ten kids. You know, before it was

643
00:31:50.400 --> 00:31:54.279
<v Speaker 7>about the relationship with the players, how do you get along?

644
00:31:54.599 --> 00:31:59.160
<v Speaker 7>That's not what they asked first anymore. Whether it's the athlete,

645
00:31:59.319 --> 00:32:03.880
<v Speaker 7>their parents, they're agent, their handler, that's what they want

646
00:32:03.920 --> 00:32:07.720
<v Speaker 7>to know. And I'm sure the things with the guy

647
00:32:07.880 --> 00:32:12.440
<v Speaker 7>like I had a former coach call me this past

648
00:32:12.480 --> 00:32:17.519
<v Speaker 7>week and I might have been Friday night, and after coaching,

649
00:32:17.559 --> 00:32:21.319
<v Speaker 7>he was a Division one coach, he worked for me

650
00:32:21.359 --> 00:32:24.319
<v Speaker 7>and then was head coach at Hawaii and University of

651
00:32:24.359 --> 00:32:27.960
<v Speaker 7>San Francisco and then administrator, but very much involved in

652
00:32:28.000 --> 00:32:32.119
<v Speaker 7>the NCAA still, And he said to me, he said, Joan,

653
00:32:32.519 --> 00:32:35.359
<v Speaker 7>do you know what's going on? You know, most of

654
00:32:35.400 --> 00:32:38.119
<v Speaker 7>the bigger time players, both on the men and women,

655
00:32:38.599 --> 00:32:43.359
<v Speaker 7>have agents. Now, so Steve, let's say I'm recruiting you,

656
00:32:44.440 --> 00:32:47.640
<v Speaker 7>and let's say I'm the agent. In order for me

657
00:32:47.759 --> 00:32:50.720
<v Speaker 7>to talk to you, and this is what's going on.

658
00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:54.039
<v Speaker 7>I've got to pay the agent first before I can

659
00:32:54.079 --> 00:32:57.720
<v Speaker 7>talk to you. I mean, it's it's just craziness. It

660
00:32:57.960 --> 00:33:01.480
<v Speaker 7>just it's just crazy. This is what's going on.

661
00:33:01.880 --> 00:33:03.759
<v Speaker 3>With that said, go ahead, David, I was gonna just

662
00:33:03.799 --> 00:33:05.480
<v Speaker 3>say what, So what what do you think is happening

663
00:33:05.519 --> 00:33:08.400
<v Speaker 3>inside McHale when they have, you know, no coach and

664
00:33:08.799 --> 00:33:10.640
<v Speaker 3>a lot of players have left. I mean, is it

665
00:33:10.680 --> 00:33:12.799
<v Speaker 3>a how are they going to do this? How are

666
00:33:12.799 --> 00:33:14.680
<v Speaker 3>they going to fill these spots? And where are they

667
00:33:14.680 --> 00:33:15.039
<v Speaker 3>looking at?

668
00:33:15.039 --> 00:33:16.279
<v Speaker 4>Plays?

669
00:33:16.519 --> 00:33:20.519
<v Speaker 7>Yeah? I think Desiree and has a committee and I

670
00:33:20.559 --> 00:33:25.920
<v Speaker 7>think they're looking at some good people, you know. I

671
00:33:26.000 --> 00:33:29.319
<v Speaker 7>really thought it was gonna be Lindy Larroque from un

672
00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:32.400
<v Speaker 7>l D. And I know Lindy very well. I know

673
00:33:32.480 --> 00:33:36.200
<v Speaker 7>her dad. I recruited her very very heavy to Arizona

674
00:33:37.119 --> 00:33:40.880
<v Speaker 7>and she ended up going to Stanford. Her dad's a

675
00:33:41.119 --> 00:33:45.519
<v Speaker 7>very very famous high school coach in Las Vegas and

676
00:33:45.640 --> 00:33:48.640
<v Speaker 7>very close to Lout and his family. I mean he

677
00:33:48.720 --> 00:33:50.599
<v Speaker 7>used to come here and work for Loot, he worked

678
00:33:50.640 --> 00:33:54.440
<v Speaker 7>for me, and Lindy came to camp and Lindy's done

679
00:33:54.519 --> 00:33:57.519
<v Speaker 7>really well at UNLV. I really thought that was a

680
00:33:57.559 --> 00:34:02.440
<v Speaker 7>done deal, and because plus Desiree hired her there. But

681
00:34:02.519 --> 00:34:05.079
<v Speaker 7>she decided not to go. She has two little kids

682
00:34:05.160 --> 00:34:09.519
<v Speaker 7>or parents are there. There's going to be someone good,

683
00:34:09.679 --> 00:34:14.840
<v Speaker 7>you know, hopefully, you know, I said to Desiree. She

684
00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:17.320
<v Speaker 7>called me and I said, what are the She asked me,

685
00:34:17.360 --> 00:34:20.639
<v Speaker 7>some quality you know now, you know, I want someone

686
00:34:21.239 --> 00:34:23.480
<v Speaker 7>you know, if you can. Now this is different because

687
00:34:23.480 --> 00:34:27.320
<v Speaker 7>I said, this, sir, has head coaches. I'd rather have

688
00:34:27.360 --> 00:34:32.480
<v Speaker 7>a head coach that's a great recruiter, proven recruiter. Don't

689
00:34:32.519 --> 00:34:35.480
<v Speaker 7>rely on your assistance. You want your assistance to recruit.

690
00:34:35.719 --> 00:34:39.239
<v Speaker 7>But honestly, it's the first thing is recruiting, particularly with

691
00:34:39.360 --> 00:34:40.800
<v Speaker 7>the portal and everything.

692
00:34:41.519 --> 00:34:44.679
<v Speaker 16>But you know, and she said to me, Joan, you.

693
00:34:44.559 --> 00:34:48.599
<v Speaker 7>Know, Tommy Lloyd wasn't a head coach and neither was

694
00:34:48.639 --> 00:34:51.800
<v Speaker 7>a dear And I said, you're right, But I said,

695
00:34:51.840 --> 00:34:55.440
<v Speaker 7>I got hired by said Dempsey, and everyone he hired

696
00:34:55.760 --> 00:34:59.800
<v Speaker 7>pretty much were head coaches. And it's not that she can't.

697
00:34:59.800 --> 00:35:03.960
<v Speaker 7>I'm and everyone has to start somewhere. But that's just

698
00:35:04.079 --> 00:35:07.280
<v Speaker 7>my you know, And I'm not on the committee, but

699
00:35:08.400 --> 00:35:10.840
<v Speaker 7>I'm just saying from the outside looking in, because then

700
00:35:10.880 --> 00:35:13.760
<v Speaker 7>you've got someone who's proven, you know, when you hire

701
00:35:13.920 --> 00:35:17.679
<v Speaker 7>a new coach, I mean, it's it's a wild card,

702
00:35:17.960 --> 00:35:20.559
<v Speaker 7>you know, really, because it's hard to know how they're

703
00:35:20.559 --> 00:35:26.480
<v Speaker 7>going to handle things. But honestly, in today's world, you know,

704
00:35:26.559 --> 00:35:29.400
<v Speaker 7>you want to be compensated as a coach because it's

705
00:35:29.960 --> 00:35:34.920
<v Speaker 7>this is a hard job. But Honestly, nowadays it's on

706
00:35:35.119 --> 00:35:38.079
<v Speaker 7>the you know how much money you're going to have

707
00:35:38.159 --> 00:35:42.920
<v Speaker 7>for nil And what this was five years ago is

708
00:35:43.000 --> 00:35:47.880
<v Speaker 7>completely different than it is today. And whether that's fair

709
00:35:48.119 --> 00:35:52.079
<v Speaker 7>or what this is the reality of what's going on.

710
00:35:52.199 --> 00:35:52.920
<v Speaker 4>So let me ask you.

711
00:35:52.960 --> 00:35:55.159
<v Speaker 2>I asked Rhino this yesterday, but I have to preface

712
00:35:55.199 --> 00:35:58.360
<v Speaker 2>it with the statement here. So Sean was here, a miller,

713
00:35:58.480 --> 00:35:59.840
<v Speaker 2>was here for a long time off, so he got

714
00:35:59.840 --> 00:36:02.599
<v Speaker 2>some great recruits. He had Stanley Johnson coming in for

715
00:36:02.639 --> 00:36:05.679
<v Speaker 2>that one year and vallelyhood recruit as we all know,

716
00:36:06.039 --> 00:36:07.760
<v Speaker 2>came in and there was a chance that he was

717
00:36:07.760 --> 00:36:10.039
<v Speaker 2>going to come off the bench initially, and one of

718
00:36:10.079 --> 00:36:13.639
<v Speaker 2>the reporters in the room says, Sean, Stanley's not starting

719
00:36:13.719 --> 00:36:15.840
<v Speaker 2>right now. Are you concerned that he's not going to

720
00:36:15.920 --> 00:36:19.719
<v Speaker 2>be happy? And Sean turned around and said, I'm the coach.

721
00:36:20.119 --> 00:36:22.679
<v Speaker 2>It's not my job to make him happy. Do we

722
00:36:22.719 --> 00:36:25.039
<v Speaker 2>live in a time now when coaches, let's say you

723
00:36:25.039 --> 00:36:27.559
<v Speaker 2>were a coach, you have to start making or having

724
00:36:27.599 --> 00:36:30.599
<v Speaker 2>these kids happy because you know they're going to bolt

725
00:36:30.920 --> 00:36:32.880
<v Speaker 2>either for unhappiness or money.

726
00:36:35.920 --> 00:36:40.400
<v Speaker 7>Well, I've never coached under those circumstances, you know, Steve,

727
00:36:41.039 --> 00:36:45.480
<v Speaker 7>So you know, I'm very close to watching not just Arizona,

728
00:36:45.559 --> 00:36:49.000
<v Speaker 7>but a lot of teams, you know, to watch how

729
00:36:49.039 --> 00:36:52.760
<v Speaker 7>they handle it. I think some people handle it better

730
00:36:52.800 --> 00:36:56.639
<v Speaker 7>than others. But they're going through this like everyone else.

731
00:36:56.679 --> 00:37:02.039
<v Speaker 7>And I think it's on relationships still, but it's on money.

732
00:37:03.000 --> 00:37:06.119
<v Speaker 7>And I don't know if you guys saw this, but

733
00:37:06.199 --> 00:37:10.119
<v Speaker 7>this is now about five six weeks ago, I watched

734
00:37:10.119 --> 00:37:14.599
<v Speaker 7>sixty Minutes and Danny Hurley from Yukon was on, you know,

735
00:37:14.679 --> 00:37:18.800
<v Speaker 7>and his brother Bobby is obviously at ASU. His dad's

736
00:37:18.920 --> 00:37:22.360
<v Speaker 7>very famous. But Danny Hurley won up till this year,

737
00:37:22.559 --> 00:37:26.079
<v Speaker 7>back to back championship, so obviously very successful, but a

738
00:37:26.119 --> 00:37:29.199
<v Speaker 7>different He's a different kind of guy. I mean, just

739
00:37:29.239 --> 00:37:33.280
<v Speaker 7>be honest of all the things. He said there. So

740
00:37:33.400 --> 00:37:37.480
<v Speaker 7>this is six weeks ago, he said, and I was

741
00:37:37.599 --> 00:37:41.039
<v Speaker 7>like stunned. He said, So, let's say this is like

742
00:37:42.039 --> 00:37:46.519
<v Speaker 7>only February when it was filmed, or mid February. He said,

743
00:37:47.119 --> 00:37:52.360
<v Speaker 7>I know right now on my player roster, there are

744
00:37:52.480 --> 00:37:55.679
<v Speaker 7>players that are ready to go in the portal. There

745
00:37:55.719 --> 00:37:59.039
<v Speaker 7>are players that have already talked and know what school

746
00:37:59.119 --> 00:38:03.039
<v Speaker 7>they're going for, and they also know how much money

747
00:38:03.079 --> 00:38:09.559
<v Speaker 7>they're getting. Okay, Like I was stunned when I heard that.

748
00:38:10.920 --> 00:38:15.840
<v Speaker 7>But this is the reality. You know, you're the coach

749
00:38:16.679 --> 00:38:20.639
<v Speaker 7>of the roster you have. Your job is to you know,

750
00:38:20.760 --> 00:38:23.320
<v Speaker 7>have a good culture and bring them together and win

751
00:38:23.880 --> 00:38:28.639
<v Speaker 7>as many games doing things right way. It's just that

752
00:38:28.760 --> 00:38:31.679
<v Speaker 7>things are not the same. You know, what someone may

753
00:38:31.760 --> 00:38:35.920
<v Speaker 7>tell a player, or a parent or their handler might

754
00:38:35.960 --> 00:38:38.920
<v Speaker 7>tell you to you know, one day, it's changed the

755
00:38:38.960 --> 00:38:42.360
<v Speaker 7>next day. So I think you just got to, you know,

756
00:38:42.519 --> 00:38:46.320
<v Speaker 7>handle things the way you have right now, try to

757
00:38:46.360 --> 00:38:50.880
<v Speaker 7>make it the best they can. But it's about money,

758
00:38:51.280 --> 00:38:54.840
<v Speaker 7>and it really is. I mean, I'm a parent and

759
00:38:54.880 --> 00:38:57.360
<v Speaker 7>now I have a granddaughter. I just became a grandparent.

760
00:38:58.000 --> 00:39:02.039
<v Speaker 7>But if my granddaughter and it's a little girl, and

761
00:39:02.119 --> 00:39:05.639
<v Speaker 7>when she turns eighteen, whatever sport or whatever, if she

762
00:39:05.800 --> 00:39:10.639
<v Speaker 7>gets offered a scholarship and they offer ten thousand dollars

763
00:39:10.719 --> 00:39:13.840
<v Speaker 7>and it's a good coach, but someone else is offering

764
00:39:13.880 --> 00:39:16.800
<v Speaker 7>a quarter million and they're a good coach, well, I

765
00:39:16.880 --> 00:39:19.559
<v Speaker 7>hate to tell you what I'm gonna tell you, know,

766
00:39:21.000 --> 00:39:23.400
<v Speaker 7>I mean, this is it's just the way it is,

767
00:39:23.519 --> 00:39:28.039
<v Speaker 7>and whether that's fair or not, that's the way it is.

768
00:39:28.159 --> 00:39:31.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm sure I bet you that ten thousand dollars.

769
00:39:32.119 --> 00:39:33.400
<v Speaker 2>You don't miss this stuff.

770
00:39:35.639 --> 00:39:38.559
<v Speaker 7>No, it's just that we're living in a different world

771
00:39:38.800 --> 00:39:41.599
<v Speaker 7>and and what you want to do. I mean, and

772
00:39:41.639 --> 00:39:43.800
<v Speaker 7>it's easier for me to say it, but what I

773
00:39:43.840 --> 00:39:47.840
<v Speaker 7>did is I wanted to win my conference for Pack ten.

774
00:39:48.000 --> 00:39:50.599
<v Speaker 7>We should we want it once, I really want we

775
00:39:50.639 --> 00:39:53.320
<v Speaker 7>should have won it twice. I mean, we had every opportunity.

776
00:39:53.840 --> 00:39:57.880
<v Speaker 7>But you want as a coach the resources to compete

777
00:39:58.599 --> 00:40:02.480
<v Speaker 7>in your conference in win it and be successful. And

778
00:40:02.519 --> 00:40:04.679
<v Speaker 7>then if you're you know, if you bring in good players,

779
00:40:04.960 --> 00:40:08.480
<v Speaker 7>tend to compete and win a national title or you know,

780
00:40:08.559 --> 00:40:11.280
<v Speaker 7>those are things are hard to do, but you want

781
00:40:11.280 --> 00:40:14.239
<v Speaker 7>to be competitive. So you got to look at what

782
00:40:14.280 --> 00:40:17.199
<v Speaker 7>other people are doing. So let's top Big twelve because

783
00:40:17.199 --> 00:40:21.000
<v Speaker 7>I know this because I asked the coach. Right now,

784
00:40:21.239 --> 00:40:26.079
<v Speaker 7>I know TCU winning because you've got a coach there.

785
00:40:26.360 --> 00:40:29.880
<v Speaker 7>He's only been there two years, completely changed the roster.

786
00:40:30.840 --> 00:40:36.039
<v Speaker 7>I don't think he had much nil money two years ago, okay,

787
00:40:36.840 --> 00:40:40.320
<v Speaker 7>but this year he had about a million dollars in

788
00:40:40.639 --> 00:40:44.800
<v Speaker 7>nil money, and I know a quarter million of that

789
00:40:45.119 --> 00:40:49.719
<v Speaker 7>was given the Maddie Connor. I'm not sure how much

790
00:40:49.760 --> 00:40:53.559
<v Speaker 7>Sedonah Prince Scott, but he got a lot, and Haley

791
00:40:53.639 --> 00:40:56.599
<v Speaker 7>Van Lift got a heck of a lot, and he

792
00:40:56.679 --> 00:40:59.119
<v Speaker 7>had to pay other kids. But I think he's gotten

793
00:40:59.159 --> 00:41:03.599
<v Speaker 7>more than that right now. So that's Big twelve that

794
00:41:03.920 --> 00:41:08.760
<v Speaker 7>they won the conference, they won the conference tournament, they

795
00:41:08.800 --> 00:41:10.880
<v Speaker 7>went to the Elite eight. Now he's going to have

796
00:41:11.039 --> 00:41:13.320
<v Speaker 7>a lot of new players. In fact, you know, I

797
00:41:13.599 --> 00:41:16.119
<v Speaker 7>don't haven't looked today, but he's in on one of

798
00:41:16.159 --> 00:41:19.039
<v Speaker 7>the big ones from Notre Dame, probably one of the

799
00:41:19.079 --> 00:41:20.519
<v Speaker 7>top ones in the conference.

800
00:41:20.559 --> 00:41:23.840
<v Speaker 2>I think she's going I think I heard this morning

801
00:41:23.840 --> 00:41:25.239
<v Speaker 2>that she's gone there.

802
00:41:25.880 --> 00:41:27.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

803
00:41:26.800 --> 00:41:29.239
<v Speaker 7>Wow, So I want to tell you she's not going

804
00:41:29.280 --> 00:41:29.840
<v Speaker 7>for free.

805
00:41:31.800 --> 00:41:31.960
<v Speaker 12>Though.

806
00:41:32.280 --> 00:41:36.400
<v Speaker 7>Hey, Joe, so this is it's not Is this fair? No,

807
00:41:36.599 --> 00:41:39.880
<v Speaker 7>But this is the reality we're in. And so for

808
00:41:40.280 --> 00:41:43.960
<v Speaker 7>let's go back to Arizona. Does Arizona can build a roster.

809
00:41:44.639 --> 00:41:47.760
<v Speaker 7>They have to do this fairly quickly. If they get

810
00:41:47.760 --> 00:41:51.320
<v Speaker 7>a head coach, maybe an assistant, they can bring some

811
00:41:51.519 --> 00:41:56.599
<v Speaker 7>people from that team potentially if they had a good experience.

812
00:41:57.360 --> 00:42:01.440
<v Speaker 7>And uh, and you're paying them, and but yes, this is.

813
00:42:01.679 --> 00:42:04.480
<v Speaker 4>Where we're at, Joe.

814
00:42:04.480 --> 00:42:06.320
<v Speaker 2>We got to go. We already way over. But with you,

815
00:42:06.360 --> 00:42:08.800
<v Speaker 2>it was good, good stuff for you. We couldn't cut

816
00:42:08.840 --> 00:42:11.320
<v Speaker 2>you off. Thank you, thank you this great stuff.

817
00:42:12.760 --> 00:42:14.440
<v Speaker 7>Okay, you guys have a great day.

818
00:42:14.480 --> 00:42:16.519
<v Speaker 2>Appreciate you talking with me. Yes, thank you, Joe. We

00:42:16.559 --> 00:42:18.519
<v Speaker 2>got to go come back. Got about ten minutes left

825

<v Speaker 2>to give insight to the coach and the man who

<v Speaker 2>led them, competed against them, and inspired them. Twenty five

00:46:19.159 --> 00:46:19.800
<v Speaker 4>And things like that.

896
00:46:19.840 --> 00:46:21.760
<v Speaker 3>But it would have been interesting to see how she

897
00:46:21.840 --> 00:46:25.039
<v Speaker 3>handled something like this, So what is your number one takeaway? Well,

898
00:46:25.159 --> 00:46:28.039
<v Speaker 3>Matty Connor number was pretty big. I'm just never and

899
00:46:28.039 --> 00:46:29.840
<v Speaker 3>I didn't know whymen were getting that kind of money.

900
00:46:30.079 --> 00:46:31.679
<v Speaker 4>Quarter of a million dollars.

901
00:46:31.800 --> 00:46:35.079
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well again, she's going to going to the great

902
00:46:35.079 --> 00:46:38.639
<v Speaker 3>State of Texas, where you wonder what Adia's stepping into,

903
00:46:38.880 --> 00:46:40.159
<v Speaker 3>uh when she goes to SMU.

904
00:46:41.119 --> 00:46:42.719
<v Speaker 4>But that was a good one, you know.

905
00:46:42.760 --> 00:46:46.480
<v Speaker 3>I think again, we've seen a lot of coaches in

906
00:46:46.519 --> 00:46:48.800
<v Speaker 3>the last five years just stepping away because of all

907
00:46:48.840 --> 00:46:50.679
<v Speaker 3>the changes and it's just not the way it was,

908
00:46:51.199 --> 00:46:54.800
<v Speaker 3>and both football and basketball especially, so you know, she's

909
00:46:55.119 --> 00:46:57.639
<v Speaker 3>that generation to go, so I don't think she would

910
00:46:57.880 --> 00:46:58.840
<v Speaker 3>be happy with the way they.

911
00:46:59.039 --> 00:47:02.119
<v Speaker 2>God she she changed the changed too. I hadn't heard this.

912
00:47:02.159 --> 00:47:04.079
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it was a story that I never really knew

913
00:47:04.239 --> 00:47:08.719
<v Speaker 2>about with Lisa Leslie to commit great story. But the

914
00:47:09.239 --> 00:47:11.840
<v Speaker 2>coach Lopez, who I think the world of Andy Lopis,

915
00:47:12.480 --> 00:47:14.960
<v Speaker 2>decided at sixty two, I think it was sixty maybe

916
00:47:14.960 --> 00:47:17.280
<v Speaker 2>sixty three to get out of the business. He called

917
00:47:17.280 --> 00:47:19.519
<v Speaker 2>it flipping. I just can't deal with the flipping. The

918
00:47:19.559 --> 00:47:21.639
<v Speaker 2>people you know, say yes and I don't committed to you,

919
00:47:22.079 --> 00:47:23.360
<v Speaker 2>and then the flipping Yeah.

920
00:47:23.480 --> 00:47:25.679
<v Speaker 4>I would have a hard time with that too, not only.

921
00:47:25.480 --> 00:47:27.239
<v Speaker 3>The flipping, but also when they get here and then

922
00:47:27.320 --> 00:47:28.639
<v Speaker 3>you know, they're here for a year and no I

923
00:47:28.719 --> 00:47:30.559
<v Speaker 3>don't like things and they're gone. I mean, it just

924
00:47:30.599 --> 00:47:33.360
<v Speaker 3>disrupts any type of rhythm you had and any type

925
00:47:33.400 --> 00:47:35.800
<v Speaker 3>of you know, plans you may have had for your program.

926
00:47:36.079 --> 00:47:38.639
<v Speaker 3>It's it really is like from year to year, it's

927
00:47:38.639 --> 00:47:40.360
<v Speaker 3>you just don't have these like three or four year

928
00:47:41.119 --> 00:47:42.400
<v Speaker 3>plans you can put in place.

929
00:47:42.280 --> 00:47:45.760
<v Speaker 2>Especially if that player is a cornerstone person that you

930
00:47:45.760 --> 00:47:49.320
<v Speaker 2>were relying on to change the direction of their.

931
00:47:49.199 --> 00:47:52.239
<v Speaker 3>Program, right you know picture, I mean, I know that

932
00:47:52.280 --> 00:47:54.639
<v Speaker 3>the chip Hale had to basically replace his entire pitching

933
00:47:54.679 --> 00:47:57.800
<v Speaker 3>staff from last year. It got to the post and

934
00:47:57.800 --> 00:47:59.639
<v Speaker 3>they're good. They're having a great season. They're playing tonight.

935
00:47:59.639 --> 00:48:02.679
<v Speaker 3>By the way, are they against New Mexico State over

936
00:48:02.679 --> 00:48:03.440
<v Speaker 3>at High Corbett?

937
00:48:03.440 --> 00:48:06.400
<v Speaker 2>So I think great. I can't go any place near that.

938
00:48:06.800 --> 00:48:10.599
<v Speaker 2>They're probably asked me for tuition money from forty years ago.

939
00:48:11.119 --> 00:48:14.039
<v Speaker 4>Any wait, we got a bill. Are you the rivera again?

940
00:48:14.079 --> 00:48:17.760
<v Speaker 4>Who still alws those forty biks for that parking? Yeah?

941
00:48:17.760 --> 00:48:19.599
<v Speaker 2>So they played tonight, they played this. I saw them

942
00:48:19.719 --> 00:48:22.199
<v Speaker 2>over the weekend issue. I think they got beaten that

943
00:48:22.320 --> 00:48:23.599
<v Speaker 2>game that I saw, but.

944
00:48:23.599 --> 00:48:25.719
<v Speaker 4>They won too out of three. Yeah, the issues they've

945
00:48:25.719 --> 00:48:28.000
<v Speaker 4>been playing great? Well were we talking?

946
00:48:28.079 --> 00:48:30.440
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, I mean just the quality of players that

947
00:48:30.480 --> 00:48:31.800
<v Speaker 3>are you know, they pick up and they go, or

948
00:48:31.840 --> 00:48:33.480
<v Speaker 3>they get drafted or I mean there's so many things,

949
00:48:33.519 --> 00:48:36.199
<v Speaker 3>especially in baseball where you know what, you know, in

950
00:48:36.199 --> 00:48:38.199
<v Speaker 3>the old days, you had to be on campus I

951
00:48:38.239 --> 00:48:40.360
<v Speaker 3>think for three years maybe and then you could get drafted.

952
00:48:40.400 --> 00:48:41.320
<v Speaker 4>Nowadays, who knows.

953
00:48:41.400 --> 00:48:45.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you know, I'll just keep switching schools and get drafted.

954
00:48:45.159 --> 00:48:47.360
<v Speaker 2>Eventually, the other thing that caught me is that she

955
00:48:47.440 --> 00:48:50.559
<v Speaker 2>didn't want to take her players from this school the

956
00:48:50.719 --> 00:48:53.400
<v Speaker 2>Long Beach to U of A, which, of course now

957
00:48:53.440 --> 00:48:55.880
<v Speaker 2>it's like common that they do that, right, And she

958
00:48:55.880 --> 00:48:58.239
<v Speaker 2>would have made this place a pretty heck of a

959
00:48:58.280 --> 00:48:59.159
<v Speaker 2>tough place to play.

960
00:48:59.239 --> 00:49:02.239
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and don't that yeah, because I can't remember that.

961
00:49:02.320 --> 00:49:04.159
<v Speaker 3>I mean again, she stepped into a conference that was

962
00:49:04.199 --> 00:49:06.960
<v Speaker 3>filled with you know, blue bloods, with obviously Stanford and

963
00:49:07.519 --> 00:49:11.360
<v Speaker 3>USC U c l A. Eventually, Oregon got good, Oregon

964
00:49:11.360 --> 00:49:14.719
<v Speaker 3>State got pretty pretty, Washington, I mean really everywhere throughout

965
00:49:14.760 --> 00:49:17.400
<v Speaker 3>the conference, teams had their have their had their moments

966
00:49:17.400 --> 00:49:20.079
<v Speaker 3>in the last say, twenty years, but you know when

967
00:49:20.119 --> 00:49:21.480
<v Speaker 3>she arrived it was a different time.

968
00:49:22.960 --> 00:49:24.880
<v Speaker 4>You know, who knows what was expected of her thirty

969
00:49:25.199 --> 00:49:25.960
<v Speaker 4>four years ago.

970
00:49:26.039 --> 00:49:28.519
<v Speaker 3>Yeah she was, but she was, you know, really prominent

971
00:49:28.599 --> 00:49:31.119
<v Speaker 3>in that old PC double A and logging state and

972
00:49:31.280 --> 00:49:33.960
<v Speaker 3>getting her teams into the nc DOUAA tournament basically every year.

973
00:49:34.000 --> 00:49:37.039
<v Speaker 3>She had this great resume, and you know she hung

974
00:49:37.079 --> 00:49:38.280
<v Speaker 3>on here for a long time.

975
00:49:38.400 --> 00:49:41.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, she didn't answer my question though about about the

976
00:49:41.119 --> 00:49:46.039
<v Speaker 2>player if if if to keep them happy? Oh yeah,

977
00:49:46.920 --> 00:49:49.360
<v Speaker 2>she get at around it. She gave me a good

978
00:49:49.360 --> 00:49:51.079
<v Speaker 2>answer obviously, but not directly.

979
00:49:50.719 --> 00:49:52.719
<v Speaker 4>To that question. What is happiness these days?

980
00:49:53.000 --> 00:49:55.719
<v Speaker 2>That's the whole thing, especially if they're getting paid, David,

981
00:49:56.199 --> 00:49:58.559
<v Speaker 2>they're getting paid x amount of money a quarter of

982
00:49:58.599 --> 00:50:01.840
<v Speaker 2>a million dollars and you're happy, but you could make

983
00:50:01.880 --> 00:50:04.760
<v Speaker 2>a little bit more wink wink, what are you gonna do?

984
00:50:05.599 --> 00:50:05.960
<v Speaker 4>I don't know.

985
00:50:06.000 --> 00:50:09.639
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot to be said for happiness. But yeah,

986
00:50:09.960 --> 00:50:12.760
<v Speaker 2>but when you're twenty one years old, after you're getting

987
00:50:12.800 --> 00:50:14.719
<v Speaker 2>two fifty and you're gonna get three hundred, I don't know,

988
00:50:14.800 --> 00:50:15.320
<v Speaker 2>you don't know.

989
00:50:15.360 --> 00:50:17.800
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you know, five years ago, happiness was playing time.

990
00:50:17.840 --> 00:50:20.280
<v Speaker 3>It seemed like that was basically it. Or you know,

991
00:50:20.400 --> 00:50:22.360
<v Speaker 3>do I get along with my coaches and things like that,

992
00:50:22.480 --> 00:50:24.400
<v Speaker 3>or do I like the school things like, you know,

993
00:50:24.480 --> 00:50:26.719
<v Speaker 3>things that you basically thought about as a college student

994
00:50:26.800 --> 00:50:30.039
<v Speaker 3>or as a college athlete, but nowadays you got this

995
00:50:30.039 --> 00:50:33.239
<v Speaker 3>this dollar sign hanging over you, and like some coach

996
00:50:33.280 --> 00:50:35.360
<v Speaker 3>looks at her and go, wow, she's only making you know,

997
00:50:35.400 --> 00:50:36.760
<v Speaker 3>twenty five thousand at Arizona.

998
00:50:36.760 --> 00:50:38.159
<v Speaker 4>I could pay her triple that.

999
00:50:38.599 --> 00:50:38.719
<v Speaker 7>Well.

1000
00:50:38.760 --> 00:50:40.840
<v Speaker 2>One of the things in that thing that you still

1001
00:50:40.880 --> 00:50:44.360
<v Speaker 2>have to approve. I read and you partly read it

1002
00:50:44.360 --> 00:50:45.840
<v Speaker 2>better than I did. And I just saw a glance

1003
00:50:45.880 --> 00:50:49.480
<v Speaker 2>of things that you know on Twitter that the attorneys

1004
00:50:49.480 --> 00:50:51.239
<v Speaker 2>are now or the judges are now going to make

1005
00:50:51.280 --> 00:50:54.119
<v Speaker 2>it available where the coaches can fire the kids, they

1006
00:50:54.159 --> 00:50:56.000
<v Speaker 2>can fire them, they can fire them. That's what it

1007
00:50:56.079 --> 00:50:58.119
<v Speaker 2>seemed like, at least that's how I read it. I

1008
00:50:58.159 --> 00:51:00.840
<v Speaker 2>could be wrong, but you know what, in reality, that's

1009
00:51:00.880 --> 00:51:02.840
<v Speaker 2>kind of what they've done in the past. Anyway, I

1010
00:51:02.880 --> 00:51:05.559
<v Speaker 2>think you're better suited somewhere else. And then so they

1011
00:51:05.599 --> 00:51:07.039
<v Speaker 2>sit out the year or they play the year and

1012
00:51:07.079 --> 00:51:10.159
<v Speaker 2>they're gone, you know what I'm saying, Or they don't

1013
00:51:10.159 --> 00:51:12.400
<v Speaker 2>make them happy or whatever. Did you ever meet did

1014
00:51:12.400 --> 00:51:14.360
<v Speaker 2>you ever see the movie One on One with with

1015
00:51:14.400 --> 00:51:15.599
<v Speaker 2>Henry Steel and with.

1016
00:51:15.679 --> 00:51:18.360
<v Speaker 4>Rob Rob Benson. Yeah, back in the day, I probably

1017
00:51:18.360 --> 00:51:19.000
<v Speaker 4>saw it.

1018
00:51:19.079 --> 00:51:21.880
<v Speaker 2>And you know the guy trying to run him off,

1019
00:51:22.000 --> 00:51:23.679
<v Speaker 2>try to run him off, and try to run him

1020
00:51:23.719 --> 00:51:26.440
<v Speaker 2>off until he saved his butt in the championship game

1021
00:51:26.519 --> 00:51:28.480
<v Speaker 2>or whatever it was, and now he loved him right,

1022
00:51:28.519 --> 00:51:30.159
<v Speaker 2>and the guy just said, I don't need this.

1023
00:51:30.480 --> 00:51:32.039
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I don't know.

1024
00:51:32.519 --> 00:51:34.760
<v Speaker 3>Like I said before, you know, there's there's a it's

1025
00:51:34.800 --> 00:51:38.119
<v Speaker 3>a it's a different time. And it's interesting that the

1026
00:51:38.199 --> 00:51:41.519
<v Speaker 3>dollar figure seems to be as important as anything else

1027
00:51:42.320 --> 00:51:45.159
<v Speaker 3>playing time. You know, I can go make money going

1028
00:51:45.199 --> 00:51:46.679
<v Speaker 3>somewhere else and I'll still get the same amount of

1029
00:51:46.679 --> 00:51:49.360
<v Speaker 3>playing time. It's kind of a shame, but that's really

1030
00:51:49.480 --> 00:51:51.320
<v Speaker 3>what it is. And especially if you're a fan. I mean,

1031
00:51:51.320 --> 00:51:53.920
<v Speaker 3>you just we don't know what Arizona basketball is gonna

1032
00:51:53.920 --> 00:51:54.639
<v Speaker 3>look like next year.

1033
00:51:54.719 --> 00:51:55.760
<v Speaker 4>You already got to go this.

1034
00:51:55.840 --> 00:51:59.039
<v Speaker 2>Take a quick first hour, which was obviously good when

1035
00:51:59.039 --> 00:52:00.679
<v Speaker 2>we have a good first hour. So we'll come back,

1036
00:52:01.320 --> 00:52:03.760
<v Speaker 2>h Kobe has breaking news, and then we're going to

1037
00:52:03.840 --> 00:52:05.440
<v Speaker 2>talk to Aaron Torres later
