Speaker 4: All right, let's talk some ball.
Speaker 3: I need someone who noseball to tell me what's going.
Speaker 4: On with BYU basketball.
Speaker 3: A man that is six foot nine, two hundred and
thirty pounds of solid muscle at a Provo High school
and he's the head coach for the Provo High school
basketball team that just won Stateless. Welcome at former bucket
getter himself, Chris Collinsworth, Number forty one on the court,
number one in our hearts today, Chris, how are you
good man? How you doing doing fantastic? Congrats on the
state championship. How does it feel to win another state
title on that floor?
Speaker 4: Now? As a coach?
Speaker 1: It's awesome. Man. My mind feel better as a coach
than it did as a player.
Speaker 4: That's pretty crazy.
Speaker 3: The vicarious accomplishments, right, I mean, obviously you're you're accomplising
as a coach, but you're you're you're you're coaching these guys.
Speaker 4: You're not playing the game. How is it? How is it.
Speaker 3: Possible that it could be more satisfying, more exciting to
coach a championship rather than to play for and win
a championship.
Speaker 5: I don't know, man, that's a good question. I honestly
didn't even know if I would like coaching, So the
fact that I do as much as I do.
Speaker 1: The one is crazy. But no, it's all about the.
Speaker 5: Guys, Like we have really really good players really good
group of just humans that we get to be around
every day, and there's something special about being able to
put them in positions to succeed and watching it happen.
And you know, I was able to experience state championships
as a player, and so being able to instill them
with the same belief and you know, put things into
play for them and have it come into fruition is
I don't know, it's really surreal.
Speaker 1: That's I've just been telling people. It's crazy.
Speaker 3: So what's the equivalent in this coaching championship achievement to
the twenty seven points you had in the state title
game right in two thousand and seven and you became
the gate Rade Utah Boys Basketball Player of the Year
with that performance. Did you do anything coaching wise that
that parallels the twenty seven points that you put up
in that state title.
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's it's really different.
Speaker 5: Like when you're a player, you just you you prepare,
you go out, you play, you do your best, and
the chips kind of you know, it happens. Coaching is
similar in that way, but you're I always tell people, like,
once the game starts, like your goal is just not
to pull a Chris Weber and get two technicals to
interfere with the game like you did.
Speaker 1: You did all your prep work before.
Speaker 5: You're just trying to keep guys confident, trying to keep guys,
you know, put them in the right place and succeed.
Speaker 1: But a lot of that happens.
Speaker 5: Before the game, so when you get into the game,
it's just you trust your guys to go out there
and and play confident and play loose and have you
have fun, like enjoy the game. And and then you know,
we were talking about inputs, like you do everything in
your power that everything you can control, and then the
outcome is the outcome. As a player, like you feel
that more. I feel like like it's like you're out there.
You got to make the shots. So you got to
make the you know, the defensive play, you got to
get the redown. You actually have to sweat and be
in shape. As a coach, I can know, drink him
out and do right before the game, even during the game,
and it doesn't affect the outcome. So I don't know,
it's it's crazy. It's definitely different. It's really fun. It's
fun to compete again because you're definitely competing like you're
out there, You're you're competing your game, you're game planning,
you're trying to put like I said, guys in the
right spot. But I don't know, it's hard to explain.
It's it's different, but it's it's really fun. It's addicting.
Like my poor wife, she probably had no.
Speaker 1: Idea that her husband was going to be a high
school basketball coach. But here we are.
Speaker 4: It's so fun. I mean, you're more than that. You're
an entrepreneur. You do a lot of things.
Speaker 3: Obviously you've been able to free up enough time to
coach and and dev into something that you had.
Speaker 4: You know, yeah, I fear that you that you may
not even like it.
Speaker 3: Obviously you've fallen in love with the game through coaching again,
which is which is pretty cool to fall back in
love with an activity that that you know, that that
had given you so much and also kind of probably
been a little bit of trial and tribulation with with
some injuries. If everyone you know, not everyone knows your
your path, your trajectory to b Yu and and it
was it was short. It was too short, right with
how much talent you had coming into Brigham and so
to fall back in love with the game.
Speaker 4: Has that been a special thing for you?
Speaker 5: It's you know, that is something my wife talks about
a lot. It's been very full circle and it's it
has given basketball a lot of meaning again where there
was definitely, you know, times even years where you're kind
of like, what was the point? Yeah, Like, you know,
what was the point of putting in all that work,
all the time, all that effort.
Speaker 1: It's obviously there was a.
Speaker 5: Ton of benefit, even even with the ending sooner than
I would have liked it too. Like I tell people,
I do tell you all the time when they want
to feel like sorry for me and my guys, how
did I get to play you know, high school basketball
at a high level. The fact I even got to
play for a D one team, even for a minute,
is more than most people can say and like, and
I do, I do, like, I am very grateful for that.
But you know, in saying that, there's times I was like, man,
what what was the point of like going through all that,
having the talent, having the ability, and then having it
end as quickly as it did, and now being able
to coach and take those experiences and being able to
help you know, my guys like it feels way more meaningful,
and so it does feel full circle. And yeah, I
feel very blessed, honestly to be able to have an
experience where I get to love basketball again and I
probably even love it more now than than I did,
especially at the end of my college career where I
was there's just hard, like here's surgery again. Have fun,
and so yeah, super blessed to be able to rekindle
that and to be back at it.
Speaker 3: You take your own experience right to you. You employ
that experience in teaching and mentorship. But I imagine there's
a few principles, a few schemes, a few things drills
that you took from Coach Craig Drury.
Speaker 4: Give me a shout out and how impactful he was
for you.
Speaker 1: Oh, I mean Coach Dury. When they asked me to
coach three years ago.
Speaker 5: He was someone I talked to immediately and he told
me like, look, if you do it, I'll coach you.
And I was like, well that's the only way I'm
doing I've never before, so you know, with Coach Drury,
and then I have a really good, really good assistance. Actually,
every one of my assistants, two of them played at
BYU and then the rest.
Speaker 1: Of them they all played at PROVO and so they're
very ingrained in the coach Duri culture.
Speaker 5: And that's been a really, really big part of our program,
is just instilling the belief.
Speaker 1: In our guys that they can win.
Speaker 5: Like probi I had won seventeen state titles most of
the state before this year. The one we won this
year was number eighteen. And we talked about that all
the time with our guys, and because when we played
for Coach Druiy, that was the expectation and there wasn't
a day an open gym or a practice that went
by that there wasn't like to talk about how we are,
you know, practicing and playing to be the best, and you.
Speaker 1: Have to believe that you can compete at that level
if you're ever if you're ever going to do that.
Speaker 5: And so from day one that was like, you know,
told guys like, hey, like I'm here to we're here
to win a state championship and if you don't believe that,
let's let us help you believe that.
Speaker 1: And so we brought in.
Speaker 5: You know, not only did we bring in coach Stue
to talk to the guys, we brought in you know,
Mark Durant, Tom Homo, Santiago's Ty Wesley, Mkelly Wesley, all
these people who have who went to Provo, A lot
of them went to BYU, but have who experienced a
ton of success in basketball and and in life and
help them come back and tell these guys like, hey,
like we were great, you can be great too.
Speaker 1: And but that culture for us was with coach Drury,
and coach would tell you it.
Speaker 5: Was with coach Jim Spencer before him, and he won.
He wanted several titles at Provo before coach Durie. And
so yeah, like the drills and everything, we run same defense.
Speaker 1: The jury ran the Jim Spencer.
Speaker 5: R And obviously it gets tweaked because the basketball has changed.
But the biggest takeaway from those from those coaches has
been really like the mindset and how to coach the
mindset and the and the belief that you can be
good and you if you put in the work, you
deserve to be good. And that's one of our mantras
this year is cash the check. Like you write yourself
a check every time you put in the work and
work hard, but you've got to cash it by going
out and putting your best effort and hopefully getting out
an outcome, which is winning the game or winning region
and then winning state. And so it was really fun
at the end of that last game to go say, hey,
we actually you know, you guys wrote this check all summer,
all spring, summer, fall season long.
Speaker 1: Now you get to cash it. So yeah, I learned
a lot.
Speaker 5: From from coach Durie and all hit the players that
played for him that were willing to come back and
talk with us and help him steal that mindset and
that belief.
Speaker 3: Chris Collinsworth, former b YU bucket getter, a big man, uh,
former gig Raide Player of the Year in the great
state of you talking and talking to some ball with
his celebrating his state championship and his accomplishment as a coach.
It is keeping up with the cougar segment. Chris, you've
been on the show before. Give us an update. I
know you're coaching, Okay, you're you're doing great things.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 4: Most importantly though, how's the fam?
Speaker 3: How's the other job that's keeping you up late at
night as you operate your businesses et cetera.
Speaker 1: Family is great. Family is really good.
Speaker 5: I couldn't be doing everything I'm doing with that an
awesome life and awesome kids and works really good.
Speaker 1: Been in a sports.
Speaker 5: Licensing business with with Jimmer actually for about five years
and it's been fun.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 1: It's we've had a good.
Speaker 5: Year and n I l and that whole market.
Speaker 1: We did it kind of incognito for several years.
Speaker 5: And so it's been fun to have it become, you know,
the main gig if you will.
Speaker 1: So, yeah, life's good. Can't complain love.
Speaker 4: That, man, And uh, what do you think about this? Uh?
This bub League basketball team? Chris? Have you been over
watching any of the games? What's going on with them? Coops?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I watch, I watch. It's tricky, man. Injuries. Injuries
obviously play a big part of it. It's that always
makes things really hard.
Speaker 5: I remember, even as the player getting hurt, like feeling
terrible for the coaching staff and the team and being
like they had.
Speaker 1: This whole his whole roster was.
Speaker 5: Assembled with me and mind game plans plays base line
out of bounds, sideline out of bounds, defensive schemes like
so when you lose a guy and two guys and
three guys and four guys, like all the planning and
prep that you know, Coach Young and the staff will put.
Speaker 1: In like they got to change, didn't change on the fly,
So that's that's not fun. I don't envy them at all.
Speaker 5: From that perspective, and I think they're obviously handling it
well and then losing is not fun. And to echo
what you know Coach Young said after last game is
he's just trying to get his guys to have confidence
and believe again. And I think, I honestly think that's
a huge part of this. Like I was just looking
at the box score we had. We had several dudes
who played over ten minutes last night.
Speaker 1: They didn't even shoot the ball once. And I'm not
saying they had shots, they turned down shots, but there's.
Speaker 5: Clearly a belief issue amongst other things. And I agree
with Coach Young, it's like this thing in the season
right now, like the most important thing is getting some
guys to go out and truly believe that they.
Speaker 1: Can win and give it their all. And you can
see that's missing.
Speaker 5: Like you watch a game and the efforts low, which
makes things like the fundamentals look like they're not. Their
confidence is low, which again makes you know, very things
that look very simple or should be very simple, they
also look hard or look look like we don't know
what we're doing. And so how do you get that
back in you know, a short period of time before
Texas Tech and into the Big twelve tournament. I don't know,
and I'm grateful I'm not being tasked.
Speaker 1: To figure that out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, belief is interesting, man, obviously, like preparation,
uh is is a key oponent, key component too to
having that confidence right. But when you when you're on
kind of like a negative spiral, it's hard to kind
of pull yourself out from that, and especially I think
the dynamics of of playing alongside stars. You know, you
want to fill your role right, Like talk to Kyle
a lot about this. Like, you know, Kyle ear Lyon
in his career, he's a rebounder defender and you know,
didn't get many opportunities to get shots up and he's
found his role right eventually, though, like you, you got
to be able to step up and make shots when
when when blitzes come and and ultimately double teams come
and they got to kick it.
Speaker 4: To you, et cetera.
Speaker 3: And and I don't I don't know you know where
you know where the confidence is.
Speaker 4: I think Alexi's gained some confidence with more minutes. He's
definitely shut. He's got a pure stroke.
Speaker 3: Hadeem looked a little bit out of sorts in his
first start, but he has been a bit of an
energizer bunny in the past with rebounding and defense. Maybe
that was the the lights were too bright. You know
where do you turn right now? You know, aj and
and Rob typically can get buckets, but they they've been
really forced recently. They're not coming easy whatsoever. It is
really forced, and it is it is like just arduous
to watch these guys try to score some time with
the physicality of the Big twelve, They're contested shots every
single time.
Speaker 4: Nothing's coming easy offensively.
Speaker 1: Yeah, everything looks sticky, everything looks forced.
Speaker 5: Its hard, like you said, and you know, to echo
like with Kyle what you're saying about Kyle, it's true,
like he did a really good job, you know, his
freshman year coming in and filling a role, and sophomore
year's role expanded and then obviously junior and senior year.
Speaker 1: And that's a lot of us credit to.
Speaker 5: Like Coach Rose and coach Rice, coach Lacombe, coach nash
If coach Wardenberg, shout out to all those guys. But
we I feel like we knew who we were as
a team. There was an identity in place with that.
Coach Rose did a good job, Like we knew what
we wanted to do, so it was easier to like
know what your input into that system was. And like
you look at these really good teams, you know the Gonzagas,
Houston teams, even like Arizona teams that have.
Speaker 1: Been good and have been good for a long time.
Speaker 5: Like they can get guys and plug and played because
the team's identity and the expectation for the team, it
doesn't change game to game. It doesn't even change like
year to you a Houston, you know exactly who Houston's
going to be. And so when guys do get thrown
out there, like they know what they're the expectation is
for them, they know the role they're filling. And I
feel like right now we're missing that with this team,
Like I don't think we know who we are going
to be game to game, even half to half, and
so I think it's hard for a guy to come
in on limited minutes and know what their expectation actually is. Like,
if you're Houston on defense, you're blissing a ball screen.
If you're the guy that's on the backside, you know
how you got to rotate, you know what the efforts
expected to do that, and you can go and fill
that side of the ball really, really, like easily, because
everyone on the team is expected to do and it
is expected to do a certain way. And yeah, when
you watch like it feels like we're missing some of that.
Speaker 1: And so it is.
Speaker 5: Harder for role players to come in and magnify their
role because I think they're guessing, like, you know, okay,
aj is going to shoot it, but what does that
mean for me? And then defensively, it's like what is
my role defensively?
Speaker 6: Like?
Speaker 1: And again you lose Ritchie and.
Speaker 5: I think that that problem is magnified for sure. But yeah,
this kind of leaning back into the Kyle on Coach Rose, Like,
Kyle did a really good.
Speaker 1: Job of.
Speaker 5: Stepping in every year, and his role obviously got bigger,
went from being a true freshman starter to the best
player on the team. But we always knew what was
expected and we had that style of play. Like the
truth is, we committed to by U for that style
of play, and when we were when I was getting recruited,
like all the coaches that were recruiting me, like I
was looking at you know, did I want to go
play for Tony Bennett at Virginia and play a pack
line defense and to slow it down offense? Or did
I want to play for Coach Rose and play like
a faster, you know, a much faster offense, get into transitions,
get more shots up type of scheme.
Speaker 1: And so yeah, that's.
Speaker 5: My take kind of on our team right now is
I don't feel like we know who we are and
so it's harder for guys to step in and step up.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you hope they can find the identity.
Speaker 3: They can they can circle back and and find something.
And in what are the silver linings right now? Right
when you've lost so many games, you have the ceiling
the potential of Iowa State. Do you just go back
and you watch highlights just like to let's watch it all, like, look, guys,
we're a good basketball team. Let's watch ourselves like you
know what I mean, Like, how do you instill confidence
once again and instill you know, that swagger when you're
so down Frauden right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good question.
Speaker 5: I mean I was watching Wisconsin highlights earlier in the season,
obviously a very different team, but it did give me
confidence and who we can be, and so I think
there is a lot of that I think you're watching,
Like I think the film session today is not what
it was probably two weeks ago, and you're not probably
not hashing over Obviously you need to talk about where
we can improve, because there's a lot we can improve on.
But the perspective is like, you guys are D one players.
They're getting paid like you're really really good. Let's help
you figure that out.
Speaker 1: And I even think the.
Speaker 5: Expectation internally of like, hey, you know, we're a top
five team in the country, Like, I think you have
to coach to that differently and relieve yourself of a
lot of that pressure.
Speaker 1: And I think even coach young like he has an opportunity.
Speaker 5: To have some freedom and creativity on both sides of
the ball to try to figure out what's working.
Speaker 1: And you can see that happening in these games.
Speaker 5: But hopefully even that like helps bring some confidence where
it's like, hey, we can be dangerous because nothing is
really expected of us right now. So let's try some
different things and just do it with maximum effort. And
that would be the one thing that I would coach
really hard, is like if you're gonna be on the floor,
like you gotta freaking give it everything you have inside
this framework and let's see what happens.
Speaker 3: Yeah, effort makes up for a lot of things last night, though,
Like as a as a former player, as a basketball
state champion coach, Man, you've been around the game for
a long time. I know it giveth and it taketh
away so many lessons, learn, so much experience, right are
you Are you most frustrated with like like just poor
lazy passing at the top of the key? Are you
more frustrated when you're watching like if the ball getting
sticky offensively and maybe bad or four shots? Or do
you get more frustrated with like just wide open like
uncontested shots, bad defense?
Speaker 4: Like where where do you find you get most.
Speaker 3: Frustrated as a player and like a coach watching basketball
last night?
Speaker 4: Specifically?
Speaker 5: Yeah, for me, it's it's usually I get frustrated around
like effort, around the.
Speaker 1: Basic like basketball.
Speaker 5: You can make basketball really complicated, but at its core,
like basketball is a simple sport and a big part
of that is like bringing maximum effort inside your role.
And so like the two things are frustrating. You're like
ones like do these guys know their role like when
they go out there? And I think they do. And
then too it's like, then why aren't they giving it
everything they have? You know with those limited those limited
minutes and for some of them who are now getting
much more expanded minutes, it's like you've got to bring
it like you're you're in the Big twelve.
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that like to them mentally they aren't.
Speaker 5: This is where the confidence things come in, Like they
might be giving their full effort, but they're just not confidence.
It doesn't look like it like it's hard. It's hard
to look like Houston with their effort if you don't
have the.
Speaker 1: Confidence that Houston has. And so that's where I.
Speaker 5: Think what Coach Young said yesterday it was just so true,
like they've got to get confident.
Speaker 1: If they can, they can figure out how to get confident.
Speaker 5: In a couple of days, I think that what we
perceive as effort will look like it's higher. But yeah,
that would be the thing that that is The thing
that frustrates me is like, let's let's go out there,
do your job and do it with maxim effort and
let's see, let's see what happens.
Speaker 1: But when guys are nonchalant like I was. I loved
Mark Durrant's X.
Speaker 5: Posts recently about just the defensive breakdowns, just the very
basic I love how I didn't trying to blast anyone.
He wasn't trying to know call people out, but as
fans like, as we watched that, like he gave some
really good insight onto.
Speaker 1: Just some very basic stuff.
Speaker 5: You know, switching, we have Rob Wright going underscreens four
feet off the three point line and we're wondering why guys.
Speaker 1: Are getting wide open shots.
Speaker 5: You know, we have simple cross simple cross screens there.
I guess it's flex action that's just happening, and we
don't know if we're switching or not switching. And a
lot of that it starts with communication, and communication is
a form of effort.
Speaker 1: And it's like if two dudes can't talk to each other,
they are not giving effort.
Speaker 5: We're not going to handle that screen right, And that's
where it's like, are we switching? Those screens are we
not switching those screens, like what is what's the expectation
and the role for the guys out there?
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's that's where for me a lot of
the frustration comes. It's just like the very stuff that
should should. I know, it's not basic.
Speaker 5: Like again, like I'm not trying to like blast anyone
because when you're out there like it being this goes
back to the difference of being a coach and being
a player.
Speaker 1: Right, Like you're.
Speaker 5: Being a coach, it's easy to like why do you
handle that cross screen right where it's a player, It's
like there's a thousand things going on, and so yeah,
I would just like to like leave a game. So
like we gave everything, like our input into the game
was at a maximum level, and then if the output
is we lost.
Speaker 1: I can deal with that.
Speaker 5: But if our input into that game doesn't it feels wrong,
which it has, it's like, no wonder we lost. And
that's that's where I get like a sour taste in
my mouth.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like Okay, let me ask you this because this
is a schematic thing. I think kind of a schematic
based question and like kind of a reality of a
situation like Bai's defense. It's not good, right, especially for
it's going against some of the best teams in the country, Like,
you know, these are really good, these are really talented teams.
So it's like it's exacerbated, right because it's just bad
defense then turns into like horrible defensees you're going against
some really good teams. Is it Is it more simplistic?
Is it better to like go forward and try to
rep out these actions that you're getting in a like
man de man defense, right, and work on your communication
with like a little bit of time here leading up
to Big twelve tournament and the NCAA tournament, you're just
trying to wrap it out and work on communication and
practice and maybe through walkthroughs and all those things. Or
is it better just to like simplify and be like, hey,
we're just running zone. We're gonna switch up between a
one through one and a two three, conserve energy and
hope that we can just outshoot out, outscore teams on
the other side of the ball, which we're we're honestly
pretty good at. We've been really good, we've been elite
at scoring. Give me your thoughts on that.
Speaker 5: No, that's a fantastic question then a good coaching philosophy.
Speaker 1: Question as well. And my take on that is, I
would this goes.
Speaker 5: Into Houston, Like Houston a long time ago picked what
they were going to be really good at on the
defensive side of the ball, and they don't adjust they do,
they're going to be better at They're going to be
better at what they do than you are scouting, scouting
and adjusting based on what they do.
Speaker 1: Right. And I was watching one of.
Speaker 5: Their games earlier in the year and they were they
were up one against Auburn I believe it was, and
they were still trapping ball screens, leaving leaving guys can
test it up one And I was like, holy cow,
Like that feels that feels like the wrong time to
do that. But guess what they got to stop and
they won the game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And that was a.
Speaker 5: Test to me because that's like our philosophy, like we run,
we run one defense in the end, we have like
a little bit of adjustments out of it based on
like scenarios and situations, but like we want to be
really really good at us And so that's something that
I would love to see, boy you do is get
an identity and get really good at it and how
do you do that in a couple of days.
Speaker 1: I don't know, So to answer your.
Speaker 5: Question directly, I would I would like to see them
clean up up some of the fundamentals and lean into them,
versus being like we're just gonna, you know, throw it
all away and sit back in a two three. But hey,
I mean, if they are going to sit back into
two three, let's be good at it. Let's just let's
let's just clean that up or go Syracuse.
Speaker 1: And get really good at a one three one like,
and again, it's hard. It's really hard being a coach.
Speaker 5: I I hate I hate talking about what other coaches
are doing well or wrong because it feels like I
know how hard it is, and so like, hopefully none
of this is taken as.
Speaker 1: Like criticism towards like the current staff, but.
Speaker 5: It's like, I don't, I don't know the answer. It's
it's hard, But I do think like if guys can
get confident and maybe we simplify some things and they
can go out and give maximum effort, those like we
could have.
Speaker 1: Hopefully hopefully a different result.
Speaker 5: But yeah, it all comes back to guys gotta be confident,
play hard, Like I know, that's the most like fifth
grade level thing you could say, but it's just true.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I agree with you there wholeheartedly.
Speaker 3: And like, look, there's only the guys in that locker room,
and only the coaches know, you know all the details. Right,
So when Hadembu gets the start, there's a reason, there's
rhyme and reason for that. But why didn't he get
a start until that time? Well we may have seen
the reason why because.
Speaker 4: He just he's.
Speaker 3: More of an energizer guy coming off the bench. It
just fits better. And he just in the starting role
just he seemed a little bit lost out there. Why
didn't Alexi Costick maybe get more pt or leon in
the season and build confidence so he could be a
shooter and a score and space the floor, like you know,
if that would have happened in Xlray letter, maybe he
have more confidence now.
Speaker 4: But you know, Richie, Richie was getting a lot of minutes.
Speaker 3: Other guy, Cannard Davis was the guy that was supposed
to be three and D and bem what mag was
last year and like and he wasn't necessarily he didn't,
he didn't. It didn't pan out. He was like almost anyway,
he was almost a forty percent shooter from three point
line last. Anyway, Chris, I've learned something from you. I
always appreciate talking ball with you. Glad you're doing well.
Congratulations on the state championship and uh, I always appreciate
our time to get the man. Thanks for hopping on today, Bro,
And let's get you into a suit over at Odeon Men'swear. Bro,

Speaker 3: But Bro, I'm telling you, Okay, ok make a deal
with me. Okay, if you go on, I'm gonna get

Speaker 3: Yes, indeed, Big kick Bill Baby will give us an update.
Speaker 4: Man, how that g are you. How are things going? Family?
The crazy world we're living and how you.
Speaker 6: Doing doing good? Yeah, it's crazy, former player, It's it's
weird hearing that. I haven't gotten that too much yet.
But we've been good. We've been still in Provo. I've
I've been training as a football facility, so I've been
here since the season ended and it's been good. It's
it's funny. I graduated in December and then it just
turned into all football. So training at first it was
getting ready for the Senior Bowl, and then we did that,
and then everything shifted towards the Combine and getting ready
for the Combine, and then we just finished that and
now we've got our sites on pro day, so everything
moves super quick. But we're still just doing the same thing.
It's just putting the ball up through the uprights, and
we got to do that in lots of different places.
It has been pretty cool.
Speaker 1: I love that, man.
Speaker 3: A couple of things that I think about as you
as you pontificated there, uh, former player, right, like wow?
Speaker 4: Like form play that went by fast?
Speaker 3: What went by faster the mission field or your time
at b YU.
Speaker 1: Pro.
Speaker 6: Probably the time of BYU.
Speaker 3: I would say, became a little bit long and arduous,
did day at times?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think, well, once I transferred to BYU College
football and flying by, Yeah yeah, the mission also went
flying by, but I don't know if it was quite
as fast.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's kind of crazy, like I think about that
because I had I had a three year career at
b YU as well as a JUCO transfer and red shirt,
and then played two and then it flew by.
Speaker 4: And I'm like, you asked me the same question.
Speaker 3: I'm like, I think football flew by faster than the
mission because there was like times where it felt like
really really long.
Speaker 4: The days were so long, you know.
Speaker 3: But you weren't a beautiful place Vancouver Kennedy kid me,
that's that's like celestial kingdom, Baby, that's beauty.
Speaker 6: It was awesome, And the whole province is the mission.
So traveling around the province, it's like it's so different
from from zone to zone. So it's cool to travel
around little bit. I'm still trying to get my wife
back up there. At some point we'll have a break
and we'll go check it out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, uh, you've had a great Uh you had
a great career a b YU, Like I said, one
of the greatest to have ever done it in a
b YU uniform. And uh, like, let me take a
step back here, because you transferred in right, and you know,
k Pop was really excited to bring you in. I
remember chatting with him when when uh, when he came
back to b YU and he's like, yeah, like will
when he was at Boys when you were at Boys
of State. I mean he was pushing the guy that
was the starter. I mean it was neck and neck,
it was competitive, and really liked him, and that's why
we brought him in, right, And so you came to
Provo and then all of a sudden, you know, us
media members, we show up right and we're watching and
you had yes, you struggled a little bit, and Spring
were like, oh dude, we have to go get it.
Speaker 4: I was get through Spring, Oh my gosh, man, Like
I was. It was my fault too. I'm like, did
b y you need to go out out.
Speaker 3: To the transfer portal again and get another kicker, And
like Kate Pop's like, he's gonna be fine.
Speaker 4: He got to out, He's gonna be fine. Don't worry
about it.
Speaker 3: Take us back to that that moment you transferring you're
gonna be the guy you're competing, Like there's a competition brewing, right,
but you know you're struggle a little bit in the
springball and obviously came out of that and became one
of the greatest.
Speaker 6: Yeah. So at the time, I was coming off of
an injury. So in Boise, I missed my last five
or six games up there with a groin injury and
didn't kick from the time I left Boise to the
time spring ball started. So there were even schools in
the portal that wanted to like see me kick, like
having me send videos or something. And I'm saying I'm healthy,
but like not quite fully ready to go yet. Yeah.
So I got the springball and I think it was
the first day we had that pressure kick. Yeah, and
I think all of us missed.
Speaker 4: Yeah, everyone missed it, right, What's going on? What's going on?
Speaker 6: That was brutal, And I think like that spring is
probably the most I've been tested as a kicker, Like
we were doing pressure kicks. I think that's the only
time in my career I've done pressure kicks in front
of the media. Now that I think back on it,
is that a good thing?
Speaker 3: Do you think it's a good thing for kickers to
go and kick in front of the media. Like, you know,
I have my opinion on it, but like.
Speaker 4: It.
Speaker 6: I think it is. I think pressure in a game
is such a hard thing to replicate in practice. I
think any way you can get pressure in practice is
a good thing. And sometimes kickers hate it, but that's
part of the business. Like if you can get the
team running on a pressure kick, or if you can
get the media out there or whatever it is, if
it's something that stresses a kicker out a little bit,
then it's great to do in practice because then you
get into the game and in the in the game,
the media is watching, fans are watching, you're you're under
the spotlight, and it makes it that much easier when
you've been there before. Like I think that springball was
so beneficial for me because it was hard and we
were competing and the media was talking and fans were talking,
and my neighbors were talking and yeah, and it felt
like a little miniature version of what the season would
turn out to be. And I felt like I was
that much more prepared because of it.
Speaker 3: It's it's tough, man, It's it's good to have, Like
a refining fire and pressure and pressure makes diamonds, right,
and you had plenty of diamond moments in your career, which.
Speaker 4: Uh, you know, it's hard being a kicker.
Speaker 3: Like, look, I I was I was a holder, you know,
I was a holder, you know, much of my career.
So I'm I'm trying to just amp up my kicker
all the time saying like, you know, like these self
affirmation type of.
Speaker 4: Things, like you're a bad egg.
Speaker 3: You're freaking awesome, bro, Like you're the best in the
freaking world. I'm gonna lay down this like this hole,
it's gonna be perfect. It's gonna be a perfect snap.
You're gonna freaking boot it through the up. It's hard, man.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 3: My high school kicker, I mean he had a huge
leg like you, and you know, sometimes with a big leg,
you know, and you get out to the fifties and
stuff like that, You're like, wait, do I have enough
leg for this one? And so I'm like, bro, you're
having a freaking leg for this one, you know what
I mean, you have enough leg. You don't have to
change the mechanics, bro, just swep through it, you know,
because and you know, you know, having a big leg, like, okay, well,
is there some wind you're like trying to do I
have to put a little bit more into this and
then you pull it, you push it, what have you?
Typically more of a pull right when you're trying to
get a little bit more leg into it.
Speaker 4: But it's a dynamic, man, It's tough.
Speaker 3: People don't realize the mental component of being a great kicker.
Speaker 1: I don't think, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 6: And that's something that comeing to BYU. I put such
an emphasis on, like they made it that Deep Blue
video about it where I got the BYU and it
was like, how do I turn this into a strength?
If I'm gonna be a kicker at a high level,
this needs to be a strength for me. And there's
ways kickers can can practice that and work that, like
like you work out in a gym, But it takes
a lot of time building up and something that we
put a lot into for sure.
Speaker 4: A BYU, Yeah, I had an idea once.
Speaker 3: I'm like, if I could, I don't think this is legal,
but if I could, I would literally have like a
warmed up, like atmospheric controlled tent for my specialists to
hang out in during the games. And they have no
idea what's going on in the game. They have no idea.
They can play video games, they can kick, stretch, maybe
get a massage, eat some snacks, whatever it is that
they want to do it.
Speaker 4: They have no idea what's going on.
Speaker 3: It's maybe like soundproof and then it's like all right, hey,
you're up, like okay, and you you can't look at
the scoreboard.
Speaker 4: You don't know what's going on. You just trot out. No, man,
just trot out. Maybe just trot out there and just
do your thing. Bro, It's perfect. It's just like practice.
Get out there and kick the ball anyway.
Speaker 3: I know that's not feasible, but I've thought about it.
Speaker 4: I know, I know you do.
Speaker 6: I'm as big of a BYU fan as there is.
I want to see the boys ball and if there's
pressure on that, then just teach me how to handle
it and we'll be in a good spot. Gonna put
your kicker in a tent, then your kicker probably needs
some extra practice.
Speaker 4: That's true, no doubt about it.
Speaker 3: We like seeing the We like seeing the camera pan
to you and that beautiful mustache.
Speaker 4: Of yours is the stash still going strong? You know
what I mean? Or have you gone beard? Have you
gone beard like Chase Roberts.
Speaker 6: I've gone beard. It doesn't look quite like Chases And
I don't know if it's gonna last much longer. I
think I think the next time I'm in the light
of day, it'll probably be a mustache again.
Speaker 3: Really, I mean, clean up the neck a little bit,
you get a groom. We need, we need to see
the beard. It happens to every BYU athlete. They leave
BYU and they grow out the beard.
Speaker 6: It's like when you get back from a mission and
you're not quite sure if you can grow a beard,
so you got to experiment a little bit. I think
that's what we go through after we finish at b YU.
But I think I've had the I think I've seen
what I can grow, and I'm not quite satisfied with it.
So I think it might be back to the mustache.
Speaker 3: Yeah, at this point, Yeah, Chase has a strong fellicular strength.
Speaker 4: He was He definitely looked good with the beard.
Speaker 3: There we got will fairrin former BYU great, one of
the greatest who have kicked the football. Here at Here
on Utah's ESPN Radio network, one of three nine ninety
eight point three ESPN the fan.
Speaker 4: Look, it's it's rare to have players.
Speaker 3: Get the the the Senior Bowl invite, uh and the
and the Combine invite. How special was that for you
and how validating was that for you to get those
two invites?
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was cool. It's like you you grew up
your whole life watching the Senior Bowl and watching the
Combine and all of that, and it's cool and there's
a lot of like like just just the bright lights
to it. It's the stuff that you you grew up watching.
But I think for me now, when you finally get
to it, it's just another opportunity to go and kick
in front of people. And at this stage where you're
in between college and the NFL, that's all that you
really want is you want you want eyes on you,
and you want to be able to go and show
what you've been working on. So getting to go to
both of those was huge and for me, it was
a huge opportunity just to be able to go and
show show what I can do and get some decision
makers watching me while I do it. So yeah, it
was fun. It was fun to get down to Mobile
and experience that whole thing. And then Indy was a
blast as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what was the Senior Bowl like for for the
kickers and for you specifically?
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was cool. It was so there was one
kicker on each team, and the week leading up to
the game was really just like a game week. It
was even the same schedule of practices that we do
at BYU. We had coaching staff that was put together
of coaches from NFL teams, so they're running us through
whatever scheme they do with their team, and we got
to go and do a couple of practices and you
walk i mean the combine in the Senior Bowl at
the same where you walk around the field and there's
NFL coaches and NFL gms and everyone, which is so cool.
And then we get to the game and it was
it was like twenty something degrees. It was thirty mile
an hour wind. It was when all those storms were
going through the South, and so it was a great
day to be putting footballs up in the air. But
we me and the other kicker both got a one
field goal attempt in the game and we both made it,
so it was a good showing for both of us.
And then right after that we're on a plane back
home and onto the next thing. So it felt like
an extension of the season where you go through the games,
and this one was pretty quick after the season, so
it just kind of felt like another another opportunity to
have a game.
Speaker 3: Really, what was the coolest conversation that you had with
the coach at GM scout while you're out there at
the Senior Bowl, Like that you were like, wow, well, wow,
I'm talking to this guy.
Speaker 6: I think just everyone, Like our our interview portion of
the Senior Bowl for specialists, it was a lot of
the stuff's a little bit different for specialists in other positions.
And on our interview for that was over a zoom
so there were twenty five coaches on a zoom call.
So we didn't really get to have the whole like
one on one table to table experience that other players have.
But after one of the field goal sessions, I walked
off the field and Jim Harbaugh was standing there and
talked to us for a minute, and so it's cool.
It's cool to just run into to all of these guys.
But you've you've been watching for so long.
Speaker 3: What was the weirdest question that you've been asked in
this process? Like, like if you were vegetable, Like, what vegetable?
Speaker 4: What was it?
Speaker 6: Like?
Speaker 4: That's some weird stuff that they asked mine.
Speaker 6: Mine hasn't been as weird as I thought it was
going to be. Like going into it, I think I
had this expectation that it was going to be all
this weird stuff. It might have all been pretty straightforward,
but talking to some of the other guys, I think
the weirdest question that I've heard is just what's your
favorite quote?
Speaker 1: M Did you get that?
Speaker 4: Did you get that?
Speaker 6: Okay, I think i'd have to be dipping into the
scriptures or something I was gonna say.
Speaker 4: I think I bet you're gonna go scripture on that one.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I guess this the quote that the punter came
up with. I don't remember what it was, but it
was not quite that. I mean, I guess that's a
way to get some personality out of someone. For sure.
You can learn a lot from that.
Speaker 3: Crazy man will found inform a b y U great
getting prepped for the NFL Draft here on your Utah
ESPN radio network. So the initial invite list that that
was published on NFL dot com did not include you, Right,
I've seen it where like you know, there's like this
initial projected list. Give me the process of getting that
invite to the NFL comm Like the initial list was
like Tommy Doman, Junior, Ryan Eckley, tray Smack, a couple
of these guys or one of these guys that you
were out there with the Senior Bowl, True Stevens, Jack Stonehouse,
Brett Thorson, and the Dominique Zavada. What was the process
like getting the invite.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so they've been I think it was two years
ago they started doing the Specialist Showcase and it sounds
like they've been trying to push more players to the
Specialist Showcase. Every year they invite less specialists to the
Combine Combine and push them to the Showcase. And I
wouldn't be surprised if at some point they're the same thing.
But the only difference between that group and the rest
of us that got invited after was they got they
had one extra day there where they did all the
medicals gotch But in terms of doing interviews and doing
the workout and measurements and all of that, we were
together doing all that stuff. So it was I was
a little bit confused at first when everything came out
and just how the format of everything worked out. But
that's how it ended up being.
Speaker 3: What did they test you guys on there at the
at the combine? I mean, I know there's the interview portion.
Is that is it more heavily weighted towards the interview
potion portion getting to know you than it is like
performative because they have film they maybe saw it the.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 6: I think I think the workout was the biggest part.
The workout. They it was probably five hours of kicking wow,
where we went from field goal to kick off, and
they split us up into two teams and kind of
made a competition out of it. And then they had
track Man was there. It's the company that started with
golf stimulators and now they are into football as well.
So they had track Man giving us a bunch of
data about the balls that we were heading. So it
gives data like the height of the line of scrimmage,
how fast the ball spinning, how far the kick would
be good from. So I think a lot of it
was was that. And then now we get into the
process where coaches come out for private workouts and they
come out for the pro day and actually get their
hands on a little bit more. And I think that
probably carries the most weight of all of it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, we got some good kickers, who had some
good kickers in the league. Ryan Rica punting the ball
pretty well, and I expect that. I mean, how you
feeling like you feel like, you know, the feedback they've
received that you're going to get drafted have be a
high priority undrafted free agent. You know some of the
the issues with being a specialist, right I've had buddies
that have played in the league that are long snappers, punters,
et cetera. You know, the problem is you need a
guy like to retire sometimes to get a spot. So
give me a little eval of where you know, the
prognostication is at right now.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's hard to say exactly. Free agency opens next
week and there will be lots of moving around and
and you know, with with kicking, it's the timing needs
to work out. You need to fall into to the
right place at the right time. So a lot of
that is due to change over the next couple of weeks.
I think I sit in a good spot though. I
think kind of what I was saying earlier about getting
in front of guys is the big piece, and if
you can get to the Senior Bowl, and if you
can get to the combine and just be in front
of people and show off your ball flight and your ability,
then that's really all that you can ask for. And
I've been able to do that at both those events,
so I think it looks good and hopefully that can
continue and I can get into a camp, whether that
be getting drafted or getting signed to the free agent
and go compete. And that's really all that you can
ask for at the end of the day.
Speaker 4: Love that man excited for you.
Speaker 3: Let's reminisce for a moment, shall we your favorite moments
as a bee way as fast as it flew by,
right as quickly as it did. Yeah, some my awesome, iconic,
indelible moments that you created for Cougar, for yourself and
for your your family as you were repping the fair
name on the back of your jersey, what were some
of your favorite moments?
Speaker 6: Well, it's gotta be Utah twenty twenty four. Crazy, that
would be the high life.
Speaker 7: There's a will, there is a way when you're when
you're a kid growing up in Utah County, that's that's
what you dream of, So that that takes the cake
for sure.
Speaker 6: Lots of other cool ones pop tar Bull was awesome,
Alim Mobile was awesome. Being Utah at home was awesome too.
It's awesome no matter where you do it.
Speaker 1: It's fun.
Speaker 6: But yeah, I think I think those are the biggest.
Speaker 3: What are you gonna miss about b y U football
now that you've you're leaving it right, Not to say
you can't come back hang out, you know, mentor train
there still be connected obviously as alumn that we all
try to be that, but you know what, are youn
advised about it?
Speaker 6: Yeah? I think I think just being with the guys
and being part of of the culture at Byu, Like
it really is such a unique place and and the
brotherhood is uncommon at Uyu, Like every I think every
school says that it's a brotherhood and and and all that,
but b Yu it it's really really the case. Like
I mean, even recently, I was out kicking in the
indoor with the trainer that I have, and my wife
was there, and then as we're taking guys are coming
in to work out, and then before you know it,
Bears sitting there and a couple other guys coming in
to work out with Bear all sitting there and everyone's
just just talking, and that's something you don't really get
everywhere else. And I think that's part of the culture
that Kilani creates, is just that unity with everyone where
you're quarterback, a specialists and no lineman, safety.
Speaker 1: Whatever it is.
Speaker 6: The guys are really close with each other, and I
think that's hard to replicate anywhere else.
Speaker 1: Will.
Speaker 8: I have to ask you this because I told our
social media guy I won't reveal his identity, but he
told me during his interview, please ask Will to confirm
if I had to catch his kicks on p Day
when we were companions. It's a certain guy from Georgia, Pennsylvania,
you might recall.
Speaker 6: Hm.
Speaker 8: I don't know if that, but he wanted me to
get that confirmed on air.
Speaker 6: He caught kicks for me, for sure. I also caught
lots of three pointers for him.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 6: I don't know who did more, catching me shagging basketball
or him shagging football. But it's competitive for sure.
Speaker 8: Yeah, Brett's a competitive guy.
Speaker 4: That's good to know.
Speaker 8: Brett Brett At three points right, he says he's Brett's
sticking the lower extremity. He says he'd be on the
low block that's good to know he shoots threes.
Speaker 6: Well, I didn't say where I was shagging the ball from.

out for on this next year's b YU football team.

defensively or special teams? Anyone you want to highlight for
us as springball is here and we're watching close, ladies
to who can step up and be a playmaker for Brigham.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think Matsia has done is one to watch.
I mean, he he's been at BYU as long as
I have, and he's done a lot of preparing to
finally get a shot, and assuming he wins the job
this offseason, they have a competition set up for him.
But he's someone that I've gotten to know really well
and done a lot of preparing with, and I'm convinced
that he can can do some pretty amazing things when
he gets a chance.
Speaker 4: Love that man.
Speaker 3: He's a He's a red shirt senior, right red shirts
senior at a Heaver City. He was a big leg
kicks well in high school had some good offers and

being in the building. It's cool seeing all the guys work,

would do like the forty yard dash and like the
vertical so you could really showcase how well rounded of
an athlete you're not just a.

dash before I can give you an answer to that one.
