With a new title, I was 5 00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:14.519 being called the UNLV head basketball coach. 6 00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:20.000 Hello, gentlemen, everyone's good. You are right about that. I 7 00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:20.920 love that title. 8 00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:25.600 The UNLV Running Rebels head men's basketball coach. 9 00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:28.280 Let's go. I'm beyond excited. 10 00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:31.640 It's been an absolutely awesome opportunity. 11 00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:32.359 Let me just say this. 12 00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:35.119 I love doing television, by the way, and I really 13 00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:37.079 thought I was good at it, and my boss is 14 00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:40.840 like me, yes, I mean, all the different networks like me. 15 00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:43.759 So for me to leave that because I had some 16 00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:47.039 other opportunities throughout the last couple of years, but they 17 00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:50.679 weren't better than the TV opportunity that had. But knowing that, 18 00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:55.560 being at Arizona with Loodolfson all those years, understanding what 19 00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:58.200 the different jobs in the West Coast, I love the 20 00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:01.520 West and to be able to get back with it 21 00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:07.480 that I believe UNLV being a leaping giant and and 22 00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:09.920 it just needs to be rattled and awakened a little bit. 23 00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:14.359 And I believe and hope, and we'll work at it 24 00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:17.879 to believe that we'll have an opportunity to shake the 25 00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:19.959 trees and try to get it back and wake it up. 26 00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:23.159 And so I'm so excited and honored to be the 27 00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:27.000 coach here. Look, everyone knows that, and and Steve knows 28 00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:28.840 this better than I do, because I wasn't there in 29 00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:31.760 the in the early nineties at Arizona, but there was 30 00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:36.439 a huge rival between coach Tartange and coach Olsen because 31 00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:40.120 both programs, as everyone knows, was the elite programs, was 32 00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:41.879 the superpowers of the West Coast. 33 00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:45.959 And so so for my job and. 34 00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:51.359 My responsibility is to try to get UNLV running basketball back, 35 00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:53.319 and we're working hard at it, and it's been a 36 00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:55.000 joy every which way. 37 00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:58.599 You kind of spoiled my question because what would think. 38 00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:02.640 He would be happy for me? 39 00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:05.040 I mean, look, it's it's as you guys know, it's 40 00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:06.120 a great opportunity. 41 00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:07.640 He would be really happy for me. 42 00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:11.479 Coach Holsen then, and it just you know, look, I 43 00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:15.719 mean it there's a chance here to do some special things.

But as you said, 58 00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:05.120 it was, it was a huge rivalry and some you know, 59 00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:07.840 those of us who've been around to how remember that 60 00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:11.680 that rivalry? You're an Arizona guy, but you know you're 61 00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:14.319 the un l V coach. What is there been anything 62 00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:16.639 you know that you've heard have that been mentioned as 63 00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:19.199 people come up and said to you you're an Arizona guy. Man, 64 00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:21.639 I don't know what's it been like so far? 65 00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:23.919 It's been great. 66 00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:26.639 People have been out, absolutely outstanding. I mean, look, they know, 67 00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:29.280 you know, we've a couple of people came. 68 00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:30.159 Up and joked about it. 69 00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:32.960 About the about the old old time with the rival, 70 00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:36.680 the rival between the two programs. But look, I am 71 00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:38.560 my loyalties to UNLV. 72 00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:39.039 Right now, as you though. 73 00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:40.919 I love you of A and had a great you know, 74 00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:43.240 you know how I feel about everyone there at Arizona. 75 00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:45.840 But I'm my loyalties to UNOV and we want to 76 00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:48.280 win every game we play, whether that's against in Arizona 77 00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:49.199 or anybody else. 78 00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:49.560 And so. 79 00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:54.360 The people have been outstanding. And look they're they're Jay 80 00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:56.879 and Steed, they're they're hungry, yes, to get un LB 81 00:03:57.039 --> 00:04:00.280 basketball back. It's been you think about it, and I 82 00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:04.360 nineteen ninety they won the national championship. Nineteen ninety one, 83 00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:06.400 they went to the front. They've lost the duke in 84 00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:10.439 the finals. Since then, they've won like two tournament games. 85 00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:14.319 They haven't been to the tournament in twelve, thirteen, fourteen years. 86 00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:17.519 I mean it's it's I've come at the right time, 87 00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:19.720 if that makes sense, to try to have an opportunity 88 00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:22.319 to try to, as I mentioned, to wake up the 89 00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:25.000 sleeping giant, to rattle the trees a little bit and 90 00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:27.879 get and wake it all up. And I just am 91 00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:30.519 so excited to have that opportunity to try to do that, 92 00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:34.120 and you know, we got a great thing in front 93 00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:36.319 of us to do, and it's not going to be easy. 94 00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:36.600 You know. 95 00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:38.920 You guys know when you're trying to rebuild. 96 00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:40.639 It back, it's it's gonna be a lot of hard 97 00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:43.360 work and a lot of long hours and a lot 98 00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:45.639 of long nights. And that's what I'm doing. You know 99 00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:49.439 what I also in this today. The most amazing stat 100 00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:54.639 probably right now, is I I have been since I've 101 00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:57.519 got named the job, I have literally gone on just 102 00:04:57.600 --> 00:04:59.600 two hours of sleep every night. I mean, I'm not 103 00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:02.800 sleep thing for me not to crash out and like 104 00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:06.199 hit the floor on as little sleep as I'm going on. 105 00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:09.199 It's like going through hell weekly being a Navy seal, 106 00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:11.120 but they go through there with a little sleep, and 107 00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:13.120 I literally feel like that's what I'm doing it. And 108 00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:15.920 of course I'm not comparing myself to that, but but 109 00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:19.879 but my point is is I've been going on such 110 00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:23.519 adrenaline and it hasn't stopped. I'm eventually, I think once 111 00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:26.800 we get our roster bill he'll probably stop. But I'm 112 00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:28.600 going on adrenaline and it's been a great thing. 113 00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:32.759 So we were joking, Jayni, but your good friend, I'm 114 00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:35.399 assuming he's still a great friend. Could have been on 115 00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:37.399 your staff, Mike Bibbi. But now he's got a head 116 00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:38.079 coaching job. 117 00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:40.720 Really happy for Mike. 118 00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:42.560 He'll do a great job at Sacramento State. 119 00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:43.240 There. 120 00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:46.000 I'm happy for him. In fact, he actually reached out 121 00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:46.279 to me. 122 00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:47.279 We talked. 123 00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:48.439 I mean, of course we talked. 124 00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:49.399 We talked all the time. 125 00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:52.120 After he got the head job. He had reached out 126 00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:54.040 to me and we were talking and he had mentioned 127 00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:55.199 he said he wanted to. 128 00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:56.120 Get a loot Olsen. 129 00:05:56.160 --> 00:05:59.120 I thought this was a great idea. A loot Olsen 130 00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:02.959 h game, like a like a uh uh you know, 131 00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:05.759 kind of like a classic, and and play and play 132 00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:10.920 Sacramento State un L v. Georgia Tech, because that's where 133 00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:14.560 David Stottlemeyer is at and then play and again in Arizona, 134 00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:16.720 had those four teams together and play. I thought it 135 00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:22.079 was a great idea, I said, Mike, listen, I think 136 00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:24.040 this is This is like literally the day I got 137 00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:27.319 the job, I said, Mike, because all before I got 138 00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:29.319 the job, the entire team was in the portal, so 139 00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:31.839 I had no players. And I walked into I walked 140 00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:34.839 into the into the job, I said, Mike, I have 141 00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:38.240 zero players right now. The last thing I'm thinking about 142 00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:41.040 is scheduling, I said, I had, I can't. I said, 143 00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:43.319 because if you schedule a game and we showed up tomorrow, 144 00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:48.000 we forced it donating. So I said, follow up with 145 00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:49.879 me in about a month. Let me see if I 146 00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:51.759 can get some players, and then then we can talk 147 00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:52.519 about scheduling. 148 00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:52.639 That. 149 00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:54.920 I thought that was really cool. That was really cool 150 00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:56.480 about Mike thinking about that. 151 00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:58.480 That's a great idea. They'd be crazy for you one 152 00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:01.079 you played at one you coast a a another uh 153 00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:03.600 you know in Georgia Tech obviously, and then you're playing 154 00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:06.759 maybe who depends how the thing worked out, playing against 155 00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:09.319 a former great friend and Mike Bibbie or you know, 156 00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:10.600 your former school or whatever. 157 00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:15.399 Yeah, I mean, who knows that? It was my idea. Now, look, obviously. 158 00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:17.560 It's easier said than done, as you both know in 159 00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:19.759 this a and age to get those things organized just 160 00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:23.920 because of everyone's schedules, got it delined and and and 161 00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:26.959 all that stuff and plus and plus schools you know 162 00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:29.519 now these days and James c you see it now, 163 00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:36.399 people are playing you know, they're they're they're playing games 164 00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:40.240 with nil benefits. If that may try to generate some money. 165 00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:43.839 So scheduling has changed a little bit, uh more so 166 00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:46.000 than ever before. So that makes it a little bit 167 00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:47.399 different in this climate. 168 00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:50.360 So let me ask you. You mentioned you have no players, 169 00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:53.639 right so, and that's certainly not the way it used 170 00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:56.560 to be, right him. And yes, some guys would transfer, 171 00:07:56.600 --> 00:07:58.959 but essentially you had a core of players, you know, 172 00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:01.319 pretty much anywhere you went. What's the challenge now? I mean, 173 00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:03.480 how do you do this? Where do you start? 174 00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:08.319 Well, what I would tell you is you're right. I 175 00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:10.120 mean I start off as zero players. 176 00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:11.319 I was able then to get. 177 00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:14.560 A couple so but I'm still don't have enough to 178 00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:17.160 even start a game yet. And but here's what I 179 00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:19.160 would tell you, and this is what I've told our staff. 180 00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:22.879 We've got to be paid disciplinations because. 181 00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:23.839 There's a lot of players. 182 00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:25.040 In the portal. We've had a lot of people that 183 00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:28.839 want to come to UNLV, but we've got to make 184 00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:30.959 sure they're good enough and they fit with how we 185 00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:32.720 want to play and how I want to play. And 186 00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:36.159 I've got to be the right fit for them, and 187 00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:38.320 they've got to be the right fit for me. And 188 00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:43.240 so as much as money's being thrown around in NIL 189 00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:48.039 and obviously that's critical.
