WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:03.520 This is I on the Ball with Steve Rivera on 2 00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:08.839 Fox Sports fourteen fifty powered by Nova Insurance Services Ensure 3 00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:10.679 your most Prized possessionets. 4 00:00:16.879 --> 00:00:19.000 Hey, good afternoon, everybody. Welcome to Iron the Ball here 5 00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:22.440 on Fox Sports fourteen fifty. I'm Steve Rivera. You're Dave Silver. 6 00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:25.359 Welcome back to I am Dave Silver. Good to be back. Yes, 7 00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:28.800 good good. And then we have Kobe taking over controls, 8 00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:31.760 so wish just luck. I'm the new guy teaching him 9 00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:33.159 how to do it, so he'll be fine. 10 00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:35.759 He'll be fine. Hey, welcome David. 11 00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:37.640 Yeah, it's great to be I know that Kobe's gonna 12 00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:40.240 have a lot of stuff for breaking news, but the 13 00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:43.479 hits continue to happen for Arizona football. I'm not sure 14 00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:47.640 you saw another guy or two have decided to leave. 15 00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:50.159 I think that total is at least eighteen. 16 00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:55.880 Oh my goodness. Okay, you have the name mister Ukulele 17 00:00:56.079 --> 00:01:03.039 or one of those guys. Yes, you fine? You something? 18 00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:05.280 You know it's a guy who played Okay, the guy 19 00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:09.560 who played Tayata Ugulele. I believe defensive linemen. 20 00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:12.879 Yeah, so there's a couple in the last since yesterday, 21 00:01:13.079 --> 00:01:15.079 since we did the show, so I think it could 22 00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:18.079 be eighteen or more. I'm anticipating some more as well. 23 00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:21.359 I thought originally it could be about, you know, fifteen sixteen, 24 00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:24.400 but it's it's beyond that, which you know, I didn't 25 00:01:24.439 --> 00:01:27.120 know this when I said this a few months ago, 26 00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:29.599 or maybe just as recently as a month ago, and 27 00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:31.280 you probably on the show when we talked about it, 28 00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:33.480 that there was some disconnect between the coach and the 29 00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:38.920 players and transfers happened right that this situation the portal happens, 30 00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:43.840 but key guys are leaving. So I still believe what 31 00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:46.920 I was saying earlier is was it factually correct where 32 00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:49.159 there was a disconnect between the players and the coach 33 00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:52.640 and they just didn't get him or vice versa. 34 00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:56.519 Yeah, because this doesn't just happen by accident, right, Well, 35 00:01:56.519 --> 00:01:58.359 I mean Jacob Monoho was a guy. That's I think 36 00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:02.159 I kind of surprise. I mean, I understand the team 37 00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:06.200 as gonna leave, and Fafita has not left, Burnett left, 38 00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:08.719 so I mean that whole little surf I connection seems 39 00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:09.879 to be breaking up a little bit. 40 00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:11.479 Hopefully Noah will stay. 41 00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:14.319 But you're right, you just don't know what these guys 42 00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:17.400 are thinking sometimes they're young, they're getting advice from everybody else, 43 00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:21.400 and sometimes it doesn't make sense. Sometimes it does. Maybe 44 00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:24.120 the coaches are like, okay, just go, We've got other 45 00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:24.759 people in mind. 46 00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:26.879 Things like that. So I mean the numbers will be 47 00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:28.199 they'll be replaced. 48 00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:30.199 Yeah, they'll be replaced, but with the talent, because we 49 00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:32.639 know what the talent was. Yeah, when they had talent. 50 00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:35.719 They're paid for the coach, right, And I'm sure you've 51 00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:38.240 been well you're in a different spot, and I bring 52 00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:40.599 your your work experience and my work experience into this 53 00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:43.520 where you you were your boss, you were your boss 54 00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:46.199 kind of you had a news director. But I'm sure 55 00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:48.120 there was a time where two, God, I don't want 56 00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:49.719 to go to work because I don't want to work 57 00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:51.919 for the boss that day, right, right, you know what 58 00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:52.360 I'm saying. 59 00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:54.800 You just don't know if the boss understands what you do. 60 00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:57.000 And that's probably the same. 61 00:02:56.879 --> 00:02:58.120 Thing in football exactly. 62 00:02:58.159 --> 00:02:58.520 Some of the. 63 00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:01.520 Coaches are you know, they're supposed to be specific to 64 00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:03.639 certain positions and things like that, so they should know 65 00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:06.120 what each player is doing. But if the players field 66 00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:08.039 there's a disconnect, you know, where do you go? 67 00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:08.759 You think elsewhere? 68 00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:10.639 I suppose and how happy are you when you go 69 00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:13.479 to work because you when you're not either getting patted 70 00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:15.439 on the back, you're not beating couraged. There's a lot 71 00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:18.520 of different things. Yeah, and I say that just from 72 00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:21.560 my experience of covering teams where you could tell, and 73 00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:24.879 I know I could tell because if they had talent, 74 00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:25.240 would you. 75 00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:27.199 Say that they had talent? Yeah? How is that. 76 00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:29.960 Talent getting beat by three four touchdowns a game? Yeah, 77 00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:32.039 it doesn't happen unless you just don't give. 78 00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:34.479 A crap and then they can win a game like 79 00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:36.960 Utah early in the season or Houston later in the season, 80 00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:38.800 where you know, just blow a team away and they 81 00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:40.520 look great. In the next week they give up, you know, 82 00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:41.759 fifty points. 83 00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:42.439 I don't know. 84 00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:45.759 I mean, who knows. We're not close enough to the 85 00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:48.639 to the specifics on some of that stuff. But you'd 86 00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:49.800 think that there would be some connection. 87 00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:52.400 And that's why Arizona likes it. They want to keep 88 00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:54.240 you at a distance so you don't know. Well, they're 89 00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:57.000 not going to come out and tell us hey, you know, no, no, 90 00:03:57.039 --> 00:03:59.080 but but but if people were there, but like back 91 00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:02.400 in the day, you know, and maybe Havier when he 92 00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:04.800 covered the team, we were there every day. We knew 93 00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:07.159 kind of the ins and outs, and lut allowed it 94 00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:09.400 until he probably got uncomfortable with it and started shutting 95 00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:12.199 things down. But because we were there all the time, 96 00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:14.800 Oh what happened here? You know, there was a situation here, 97 00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:18.079 they got tired of answering it. And since I want 98 00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:20.680 to say, Greg, were you around when Greg came. 99 00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:23.639 Yeah, at the very beginning, yes, at the very beginning. 100 00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:26.040 Okay, so he kind of started making it more corporate 101 00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:29.800 and it was less less gym live and goodish for 102 00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:31.639 you know, a good old boy stuff, and it became 103 00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:34.920 more corporate and and shut stuff up, shut stuff out. 104 00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:37.480 Sean Miller did the same thing, and he enjoyed it 105 00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:41.040 because he didn't really like talking to the locals. And 106 00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:43.360 the funny thing about it with Sean is the locals 107 00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:44.079 didn't screw him. 108 00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:49.319 It was the Nationals screw exactly right. So you know, 109 00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:51.680 you play with the devil, you get by the devil. 110 00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:57.000 So whereas Luke's had a pretty good group of guys 111 00:04:57.040 --> 00:04:59.519 like you, I mean, you were pretty positive there was Yeah, 112 00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:01.480 there was no no reason to really go after it. 113 00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:03.120 It was it was a very rare that we'd have 114 00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:05.560 to it. Very should I'll give you initition. In middle 115 00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:09.800 Joseph Blair got academically ineligible, maybe a calid Reefs thing 116 00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:13.079 or two, but it was not very at least known, 117 00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:15.279 and we had to do the stories. You you were 118 00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:18.000 there too, uh And and like you said, one day 119 00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:19.720 he called you out of the losers. 120 00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:22.439 Jave, what do you got going exactly? So you know, 121 00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:24.199 and you answered it. You answered the call because like, 122 00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:25.639 why has Ludelsen calling me at home? 123 00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:27.839 But it did? It did happen once or twice? 124 00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:30.519 Yeah, and with me too, me too, And I call 125 00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:32.439 him in early in the morning, and and and Bobby 126 00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:34.199 would answer this, this is Steve. 127 00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:34.920 What does you need for me? 128 00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:35.319 You know? 129 00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:38.759 I mean, that's our business, it is, and it's we 130 00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:41.600 need to expect that to happen sometimes. And not everybody 131 00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:43.000 you write about is going to be happy with what 132 00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:46.480 you've written. That happens all the time everywhere. 133 00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:49.759 So invariably for me, David and I would write maybe 134 00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:51.279 ninety eight positive stories. 135 00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:52.519 The two that I wrote. 136 00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:54.720 They were negative I heard about, of course, I heard 137 00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:56.439 about of course, the same with us. I mean if 138 00:05:56.439 --> 00:06:00.399 I would say something very rarely controversial, I would get 139 00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:02.319 a phone call from whoever I was talking about and 140 00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:03.879 it didn't happen that often, but it you. 141 00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:05.759 Know, it's part of the job. And I'm sure you 142 00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:06.360 remember those. 143 00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:08.519 Oh yeah, I just steak thinking about them right now. 144 00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:11.240 Yeah, because it is what it is, right, It's part 145 00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:13.319 of the business. Uh, And we're not there. I think 146 00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:17.079 more now and more, no more nowadays that the media 147 00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:20.160 is not so much in bed, but it's also in 148 00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:24.240 like because because they just want them to do well. Hey, 149 00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:27.000 and I'll say I'll say the situation up in Phoenix, 150 00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:29.319 there's a lot of positivity going on in Phoenix with 151 00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:32.560 the with the football team issue football team that hasn't 152 00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:35.480 happened in a while. There's some journalists that are raw 153 00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:39.759 raw raw raw ra ra sun devils. Yeah, it's kind 154 00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:42.319 of odd because it's a big market. That doesn't usually 155 00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:44.920 happen in a big market. The people working up there 156 00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:47.079 are pros, they've been there for a while, but certain 157 00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:48.279 some are just kind of like. 158 00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:53.639 Hey, yay, well it's been it's been a down time 159 00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:55.560 for a issue in a lot of sports. So maybe 160 00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:58.439 I don't know. Again, it just depends on how they 161 00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:01.319 want to approach their jobs. Sometimes they're gonna, you know, 162 00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:03.439 kind of sit back be kind of neutral, and others 163 00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:05.040 are like, hey, and I can't believe we got a 164 00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:07.199 team that's going to college football playoffs. You know, why 165 00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:09.839 don't we celebrate this? And I think the readers want 166 00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:11.879 to hear that. Yeah, and I go to when good 167 00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:14.040 things happen, I will go to see what you've written. 168 00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:16.040 I mean, rather than oh, gosh, I just lost by 169 00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:17.959 forty Do I really care what Steve? 170 00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:20.519 Let me tell you you're noting Rolle because every time 171 00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:23.759 they do well and I write, I get a lot 172 00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:26.439 of people who likes and likes and likes, and that's 173 00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:28.800 kind of how you kind of gauge your story. They lose, 174 00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:31.439 no one hell gives a crap what I write. 175 00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:34.439 Yeah, I mean sometimes there were there'd be such devastating games. 176 00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:37.040 I just didn't even open the computer. I just didn't 177 00:07:37.040 --> 00:07:39.399 even want to see. Let's go do something else today 178 00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:42.399 and not you know, read rehashes of a terrible performance. 179 00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:44.000 Well, the funny thing about it is that I'm sure 180 00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:47.480 you back in the day when you read when they 181 00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:49.600 would lose, you know, and I could give it, I 182 00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:52.360 was indifferent. And nowadays, because I'm more of a calumnist 183 00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:55.079 than than I'm a observer and I write, that's some 184 00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:57.839 of my best stuff because I can read a little starky. Yeah, 185 00:07:57.959 --> 00:08:00.319 you know, even when Corky and I were out on 186 00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:03.040 the road with the team, some of Quirky's best stuff 187 00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:06.240 was he was pissed. When he was he would get 188 00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:09.600 very snarky. And I said, Kirky, that's fantastic because he 189 00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:12.600 was a fan. I mean, that's that's well known, and 190 00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:15.040 he was kind of pulling for them, and so we 191 00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:16.000 know he'd be flowery. 192 00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:17.560 But when they lost, holy crap. 193 00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:19.199 Yeah we were. You know, we were kind of that 194 00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:22.519 way too. I think we tended to become a little more. 195 00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:24.879 Flowery. 196 00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:27.000 No, like when things are going bad, Like you know, 197 00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:28.920 I just can't believe I sat through that game kind 198 00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:31.279 of feeling, and you can you can sort of project 199 00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:33.360 that on the air, just how you feel how you 200 00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:35.679 felt that game went, without you know, really getting. 201 00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:36.919 Into the specifics. 202 00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:41.240 So sometimes, you know, you'll notice that with some media 203 00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:42.000 personalities too. 204 00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:42.240 Yeah. 205 00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:45.679 Sure, of course Saturday, I was snarky in a weird 206 00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:48.440 way because they played, uh would they play Southern Utah? 207 00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:49.200 Southern Utah? 208 00:08:49.240 --> 00:08:51.879 And it was like the guys on Press row and 209 00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:54.000 and Jay and those guys doing the stats something. Well, 210 00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:56.799 we can't get these two hours back because you know, 211 00:08:56.840 --> 00:08:59.519 we sat through that game and what did you learn 212 00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:01.360 from that over in the first half? Yeah, what do 213 00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:03.080 you learn from that? And what does Tommy learn from 214 00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:03.480 that game? 215 00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:04.000 I don't know. 216 00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:06.960 I mean, you know, he he's what they said after 217 00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:08.799 was what he was, you know, talking about the rotation 218 00:09:08.840 --> 00:09:10.840 of players and some of the some of the typical 219 00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:13.919 kind of cliches that the coach will will draw from 220 00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:16.519 a game like that. But you know, we'll see it 221 00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:18.519 with UCLA. It's going to be a little bit different. 222 00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:21.320 Noual site you CLA. It's going to be fun. 223 00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:24.399 The rotation will be totally different because it'll it'll you 224 00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:26.559 you'll go, He'll go with his top seven or. 225 00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:28.639 Eight and who he trusts. 226 00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:32.200 He might he might trust Martinez a little bit more 227 00:09:32.200 --> 00:09:33.080 because Martinez is. 228 00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:34.039 More of the point guard. Now. 229 00:09:34.840 --> 00:09:38.519 I know that Jim Bradley is is a scoring guy. 230 00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:41.159 It's like Jason Terry was in ninety nine when he 231 00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:44.039 was a senior, but he they need people to be 232 00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:46.240 assist guys. Did you notice it? 233 00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:48.720 I mean I kind of was not paying his close attention, 234 00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:51.519 but when Martinez came in, was he dishing the ball? 235 00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:53.919 They point guards he can fire it up. 236 00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:57.200 Because he's dish first, shoot later, and he shot a 237 00:09:57.240 --> 00:09:59.559 few few shots. But it's more of a I'm gonna 238 00:09:59.639 --> 00:10:02.639 run the off fit type of thing, which this team needs, 239 00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:06.799 you know, because he have a bunch of scorers, got. 240 00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:08.679 The scores and you know if the big guys need 241 00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:10.200 to get the ball to get better, you know, they 242 00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:13.159 needed to you know, produce. But he's the kind of 243 00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:14.919 guy that can at least start that point, you know, 244 00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:15.480 maybe get you. 245 00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:17.720 The wing, get it to the inside and okay, see 246 00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:19.000 what happens at who's expense? 247 00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:21.759 I don't know. 248 00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:25.879 That's the neither just neither just Tommy Lloyd. Yeah, because 249 00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:28.559 he is he going to take him and Bradley. He's 250 00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:34.399 going to take take out Caleb or kJ right right? 251 00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:36.440 You know, so that's that's the point. 252 00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:38.279 Of the whole thing. You have talent, oh not? What 253 00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:39.240 do I do with it? Yeah? 254 00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:41.799 Well, you know, some guys maybe instead of playing you know, 255 00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:44.919 thirty six, will play thirty or something like that. 256 00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:48.200 They'll spread out the differences there and then you have 257 00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:51.000 kJ coming off the bench, which seemed to go well. 258 00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:53.639 He said, he liked it. He said he wanted it. 259 00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:56.320 I know, I had Corey, We had Corey Williams on 260 00:10:56.399 --> 00:10:59.480 yesterday and he says, that's a strange move because if 261 00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:02.840 you're a compared and you know you're good, why would 262 00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:05.080 you do that? You know, because you want to play 263 00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:07.240 and you want to start. You really, why would you 264 00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:09.679 do well? Jason Terry did it right, Yeah for a while, 265 00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:11.919 and he and he was better than a couple of 266 00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:14.960 those people out there. But he was the perfect role 267 00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:17.360 player for that position, for that spot. 268 00:11:17.480 --> 00:11:21.120 Yeah, I mean he filled it perfectly. Whether or not 269 00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:24.360 this generation of players want to do that and get 270 00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:27.960 their instant gratification, yeah, maybe not, but it's nice to see. 271 00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:29.840 I know pel Larson kind of went back and forth 272 00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:31.840 when he was here. That was paid off for him 273 00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:33.320 pretty well. Yeah, that was mentioned. 274 00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:35.639 Here's the issue, and I've said this before, if you're 275 00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:37.879 good enough, especially for the next level. 276 00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:39.360 Guess what, David, you're good enough? 277 00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:41.600 Like if you if you if you're good enough to 278 00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:45.039 get here in your job, they're hiring you for a reason, right, 279 00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:47.080 And if you're not good enough, you probably won't be here. 280 00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:50.799 I think it does and these guys know, I think, 281 00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:54.840 so you don't start, so you know, you come off 282 00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:56.679 the bench five minutes in and you're still going to play, 283 00:11:56.759 --> 00:11:58.440 you know, five to thirty five minutes. 284 00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:01.159 Anyway, it's like Brian, like Brian, you know, the the 285 00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:04.320 McDonald's all American blah blah blah. So how do you 286 00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:06.120 where do you find minutes for him? For a good 287 00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:07.759 player who's kind of still learning the ropes? 288 00:12:08.600 --> 00:12:11.240 You can tell. You can tell he's kind of hesitant. 289 00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:13.120 He's going to be you know, he wants to do something, 290 00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:15.480 and if he misses that first shot, it's like, now, 291 00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:16.440 what's he going to do next? 292 00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:16.720 Right? 293 00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:18.120 You know, is he not gonna be is gonna be 294 00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:19.879 out of rhythm a little bit? So he's another guy 295 00:12:19.879 --> 00:12:21.279 that's gonna have they're gonna have to kind of baby 296 00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:21.679 him along. 297 00:12:21.679 --> 00:12:24.480 I think it's just funny you said that because you 298 00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:26.720 didn't notice. I didn't notice it until maybe two three 299 00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:29.120 weeks ago. It's very apparent right that he's kind of 300 00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:32.000 like gut shy or hesitant blah bla blah. I don't remember, 301 00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:35.279 and maybe I haven't thought about it. Another player like 302 00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:39.399 that who's at that quality or level five star McDonald's 303 00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:41.279 who lacked. 304 00:12:42.759 --> 00:12:44.000 Yeah, because he lacks it. 305 00:12:44.360 --> 00:12:47.720 He's good very good in fact, but he lacks that 306 00:12:47.720 --> 00:12:52.639 that confidence or lacks that that that cockiness or whatever 307 00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:53.120 the word is. 308 00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:56.440 You know, it's interesting when they when they come off 309 00:12:56.480 --> 00:12:58.960 the bench or when they're starting, and sometimes it's that 310 00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:01.320 first shot, you know, if it he looks good, he 311 00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:04.360 feels good, and there's just something about you know, you 312 00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:06.000 know Caleb's struggle. 313 00:13:06.120 --> 00:13:08.120 Well, the crowd's kind of wondering what's happening. 314 00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:10.080 I mean, I'm sure it's kind of in their heads 315 00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:12.320 as to how they feel when things don't go well. 316 00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:15.720 Yeah, Okay, I think Kobey ready to hit and play 317 00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:19.120 and go go. And then to our first guest, Scott, 318 00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:21.000 I didn't even mention who he was.
