00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:21.480
<v Speaker 2>today with me is Michael Quinn. Yep, we got ready

7
00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:24.199
<v Speaker 2>at the control, so we should be okay. I thought

00:00:24.239 --> 00:00:27.800
<v Speaker 2>you guys didn't enter the portal, get lost portal. Thank

9
00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:30.879
<v Speaker 2>you for now entering the portal at least today tomorrow.

10
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:32.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what the hell's gonna happen. The only

11
00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:35.200
<v Speaker 2>one that's not in the portal at this point. Yes,

12
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:40.759
<v Speaker 2>another guy bites the dust or doesn't like the bench

13
00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:42.000
<v Speaker 2>smell whatever.

14
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:45.719
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, exactly, Manuel Stefan, you don't watch yeah, So

15
00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:47.880
<v Speaker 3>how many people are are? Are we losing out of

16
00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:53.679
<v Speaker 3>a so far to so far? Breck anything? No, no,

17
00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:56.799
<v Speaker 3>tick tick tick. The clock is on. You're on the clock.

18
00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:00.479
<v Speaker 3>See what happens. Both of them not surprising. We talked

19
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:03.960
<v Speaker 3>about KG last week. I think it was, uh, Emmanuel,

20
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:07.799
<v Speaker 3>not a shock, you know, go somewhere else. I don't

21
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:10.200
<v Speaker 3>even know if he was Arizona good. But that's that's

22
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:12.239
<v Speaker 3>not me. I just read it somewhere else. You know,

23
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:15.640
<v Speaker 3>it's like kill play somewhere else. But I mean, I'm not.

24
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:16.920
<v Speaker 4>Sure that he's Yeah.

25
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:18.879
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, I think he's a perfect fit for Houston,

26
00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:23.799
<v Speaker 2>perfect fit for Houston. They played defense, he could score. Eventually,

27
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:25.680
<v Speaker 2>he'll score better because he couldn't score.

28
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:28.200
<v Speaker 4>The much this year. Yeah, I wrote over the weekend.

29
00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:30.239
<v Speaker 2>Maybe we didn't talk about it Friday because he hadn't

30
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:32.640
<v Speaker 2>done it yet, but I had said I was not

31
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:35.560
<v Speaker 2>surprised because the fans have given him a lot of grief.

32
00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:37.200
<v Speaker 4>Online and really the internet.

33
00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:38.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they were there on him and he I think

34
00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:40.640
<v Speaker 2>he acknowledged that last week or two weeks ago with

35
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:41.760
<v Speaker 2>and his mom chimed in.

36
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:44.319
<v Speaker 4>She was proud of him. But YadA YadA, of course,

37
00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:45.239
<v Speaker 4>like any mom would do.

38
00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:45.439
<v Speaker 5>Right.

39
00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:48.799
<v Speaker 2>But but he hadn't played that well, you know, he

40
00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:49.799
<v Speaker 2>hadn't played that well.

41
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:52.519
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah great, but you know, you know, so he

42
00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:53.319
<v Speaker 4>ran the offense.

43
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:57.280
<v Speaker 3>Well, it was clear that that Lloyd wanted him to

44
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:00.200
<v Speaker 3>push the ball. I think a lot of times he

45
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:03.920
<v Speaker 3>pushed the ball too much, too fast, Yeah, faster than

46
00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:04.640
<v Speaker 3>he was able to.

47
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:05.040
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

48
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:07.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's like it's like you and your head in

49
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:10.319
<v Speaker 2>your mouth. Sometimes your mouth goes ahead of your head.

50
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:10.639
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

51
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:13.560
<v Speaker 3>Well I rarely bite my fingers anymore, but when I ate,

52
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:15.840
<v Speaker 3>But I think I know what you're talking about.

53
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:18.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you just I mean, for him all the respect,

54
00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:20.680
<v Speaker 2>he came into the year very highly talented, I think

55
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:24.439
<v Speaker 2>among the NBA hopefuls right sure, in the in the

56
00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:26.360
<v Speaker 2>lock drafts, and then he just didn't have that year.

57
00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:29.199
<v Speaker 2>But I think part of the reason is one he

58
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:32.599
<v Speaker 2>didn't you know. He according to the rewards of the

59
00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:34.800
<v Speaker 2>story was that he requested to go to the bench

60
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:37.680
<v Speaker 2>and give them more of a boostuff bench And that

61
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:40.199
<v Speaker 2>was according to him. You know, Tommy said it was him.

62
00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:42.680
<v Speaker 2>Maybe that wasn't true that he wanted to be a starter.

63
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:45.680
<v Speaker 2>The thing is, too, is I think that Tommy had

64
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:48.280
<v Speaker 2>already found his groove with the starters. There was no

65
00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:51.039
<v Speaker 2>question that kJ was better than a couple of guys

66
00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:54.159
<v Speaker 2>that he had started. But once you got that group going,

67
00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:56.639
<v Speaker 2>you you stick with it, right, you kind of go

68
00:02:56.719 --> 00:02:58.680
<v Speaker 2>with what you got and then you know your routine.

69
00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:00.560
<v Speaker 4>KG. You'll come off the bench to what he does

70
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:05.039
<v Speaker 4>and work is magic. Yeah, I don't know. I I

71
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:05.520
<v Speaker 4>thought he was.

72
00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:07.759
<v Speaker 3>He certainly, like I said, he would turn the ball

73
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:09.039
<v Speaker 3>over and you'd be like, oh, come.

74
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:11.120
<v Speaker 4>On, dude. Yeah, and not just once or twice.

75
00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:13.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, not just once or twice, but it'd be like

76
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:15.400
<v Speaker 3>it'd be like, hey, great defensive play, got the ball,

77
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:17.479
<v Speaker 3>driving the ball down, fumble, fumble.

78
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:18.560
<v Speaker 4>It's like, oh, come.

79
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:22.960
<v Speaker 2>On, And that's what upset the fan base. Yeah, but see,

80
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:23.719
<v Speaker 2>that's the thing about it.

81
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:27.439
<v Speaker 3>If you're going to go fast, you're going to make

82
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:30.080
<v Speaker 3>those mistakes, and got to be willing to make those mistakes. Sure,

83
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:32.520
<v Speaker 3>you know there's you know, Magic Johnson turned the ball

84
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:36.159
<v Speaker 3>over to you know, trying to run or in the

85
00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:39.240
<v Speaker 3>Lakers fast offense. But yeah, you're gonna make You're gonna

86
00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:41.159
<v Speaker 3>make those mistakes. And that's a trader, trader if you

87
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:45.000
<v Speaker 3>got to have Uh could he have been better with

88
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:47.879
<v Speaker 3>the ball, Sure, but I'm not sure. I don't know

89
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:52.800
<v Speaker 3>if he's a point guard to a prototypical point No.

90
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:55.560
<v Speaker 2>He's not, all said the Caleb's not a typical point

91
00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:58.319
<v Speaker 2>guard either the ball the ball, it's hard to handle.

92
00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:01.759
<v Speaker 2>I we just don't know if we live I kind

93
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:05.599
<v Speaker 2>of know that we live in a time like that.

94
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:09.479
<v Speaker 2>No one's ever happy and money is involved here. Ray

95
00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:11.599
<v Speaker 2>would you agree when he's involved here, but no one's

96
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:13.960
<v Speaker 2>ever happy. And I can get some more here, somebody

97
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:16.959
<v Speaker 2>be appreciated somewhere else, and then go there and get

98
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:17.639
<v Speaker 2>another divorce.

99
00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:20.439
<v Speaker 3>Yeah well grasshows Grenner. That's the thing about it. It's

100
00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:23.000
<v Speaker 3>like going, you know, you don't like what you're doing here. Well,

107
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:42.720
<v Speaker 7>Well, not surprising the guys are leaving. It's you know,

108
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:44.639
<v Speaker 7>just the way it's going to be. And you know,

109
00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:46.800
<v Speaker 7>come around October we'll find out who.

00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:50.240
<v Speaker 4>Our roster is. Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure basically it right. No, No,

111
00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:52.879
<v Speaker 4>I mean totally agree.

112
00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:55.120
<v Speaker 7>About the same the same thing as Boswell last year.

113
00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:56.519
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, no.

114
00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:59.279
<v Speaker 2>The thing about us now, it's all speculation on everybody, right.

115
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:01.600
<v Speaker 2>I think you'll know when you know, let's just kind

116
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:04.160
<v Speaker 2>of be paid. Although that's asking like the world to

117
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:06.199
<v Speaker 2>end or world to be safe and free.

118
00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:08.439
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but what else are we going to talk? About Yeah.

119
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:13.199
<v Speaker 3>It's like, okay, yeah, you gotta get coffee cake recipe, right, which,

120
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:15.319
<v Speaker 3>by the way, my sister's got a great coffee cakes.

121
00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:19.040
<v Speaker 3>I get a shout out to my sister. Okay, So Brian,

122
00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:19.439
<v Speaker 3>go ahead.

123
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:23.720
<v Speaker 7>It just it just uh, you know, it makes it

124
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:26.279
<v Speaker 7>difficult for the fans only the fact do you want

125
00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:28.759
<v Speaker 7>to get season tickets because buy him now? Because you

126
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:30.759
<v Speaker 7>have no idea what kind of roster you're going to have.

127
00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:33.120
<v Speaker 7>You know, at least in the past you had a

128
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:36.399
<v Speaker 7>basic idea of what your roster was going to be sure, but.

129
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:38.839
<v Speaker 6>Now it's a lot different because you know, you may.

130
00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:41.079
<v Speaker 7>Want to get the tickets. But let's say three or

131
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:44.639
<v Speaker 7>four of the primary guys decided to leave, you know,

132
00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:46.439
<v Speaker 7>and then this team, we don't know what we're gonna have.

133
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:49.079
<v Speaker 7>Is it worth you know, is it worth the extra

134
00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:50.639
<v Speaker 7>money you have to pay now for tickets?

135
00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:52.800
<v Speaker 2>So, Brian, let me ask you, do you have tickets?

136
00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:54.879
<v Speaker 2>Because I asked because the guy in front of me here, Mike,

137
00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:58.120
<v Speaker 2>has season tickets for for like football. No I don't,

138
00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:01.240
<v Speaker 2>So so here's the question. I think, Mike, let me

139
00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:03.439
<v Speaker 2>ask you this because you are a fan kind of

140
00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:06.639
<v Speaker 2>slash booster, uh, you buy for the kids, or you

141
00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:10.240
<v Speaker 2>buy for your entertainment or for the school because you're

142
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:11.079
<v Speaker 2>you're a luve.

143
00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:13.399
<v Speaker 3>Well yeah, I mean look, I mean it's not like

144
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:16.120
<v Speaker 3>you know, oh, I never would have bought season tickets

145
00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:17.639
<v Speaker 3>if Noah had hit the portal.

146
00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:18.399
<v Speaker 4>No, I'm not.

147
00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:21.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm not sitting there following Noah. It'd be it'd be

148
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:23.920
<v Speaker 3>my kid, Okay, I mean, if my kid was playing,

149
00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:25.519
<v Speaker 3>they'd be there for the kid. But other than that, No,

150
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:27.600
<v Speaker 3>you're there for the team and you're hoping that the

151
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:28.920
<v Speaker 3>coach puts together a team.

152
00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:31.639
<v Speaker 4>Brian, right, you.

153
00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:36.120
<v Speaker 7>Know, I totally agree, but I think the problem is, Okay,

154
00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:39.360
<v Speaker 7>right now we have those two guys are leaving, or

155
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:42.360
<v Speaker 7>one of them is leaving, and when it is possibly leaving,

156
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:45.560
<v Speaker 7>but you know, we have to worry about Bassar and

157
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:48.839
<v Speaker 7>uh the other the other ones you know, don't know

158
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:51.399
<v Speaker 7>what a walk is going to do, or or the.

159
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:52.839
<v Speaker 6>Other big man grievous.

160
00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:55.680
<v Speaker 7>We're not too sure about it. But now it's the

161
00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:56.920
<v Speaker 7>other guy going, maybe.

162
00:06:56.720 --> 00:06:59.240
<v Speaker 6>It makes it better for all those guys to stick.

163
00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:02.240
<v Speaker 7>Around, and you you got a great recruiting class coming

164
00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:05.079
<v Speaker 7>in and maybe pick up a coup of other kids

165
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:08.639
<v Speaker 7>from the portal and you're by right back where you

166
00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:09.279
<v Speaker 7>were last year.

167
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:11.759
<v Speaker 3>I think this is kind of an interesting thing. You

168
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:14.560
<v Speaker 3>bring a good point about the recruiting. You know, who

169
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:16.279
<v Speaker 3>do you recruit? I mean, do you sit there? I

170
00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:18.000
<v Speaker 3>mean it's one thing to sit there and go, okay, listen,

171
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:20.639
<v Speaker 3>I know I've got my power forward as a senior year,

172
00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:22.920
<v Speaker 3>so I need to go recruit a power forward. But

173
00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:24.720
<v Speaker 3>now when it's one of those things where it's like, hey,

174
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:29.240
<v Speaker 3>anybody could leave, you know, do you bring in somebody

175
00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:29.680
<v Speaker 3>to play?

176
00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:31.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to piss this guy off because she'll

177
00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:32.560
<v Speaker 2>leave after this ship.

178
00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:34.279
<v Speaker 4>Right. No, that's a delicate line.

179
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:36.680
<v Speaker 7>That happened last year. Yeah, that happened last year when.

180
00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:39.879
<v Speaker 3>Caleb came back, right exactly. He came back, and you're

181
00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:41.399
<v Speaker 3>like going, okay, well now we lose a guy.

182
00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:43.639
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, but you know we were better off with Caleb

183
00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:45.279
<v Speaker 7>Love than the kids who went to ASU.

184
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:46.360
<v Speaker 1>No.

185
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:48.839
<v Speaker 2>True, true, I think that people would have thought differently

186
00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:52.120
<v Speaker 2>in early November or mid November. But you're exactly right.

187
00:07:52.199 --> 00:07:55.480
<v Speaker 2>You don't know until you know. There's no real solution

188
00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:58.920
<v Speaker 2>for this. I mean there isn't. There's money involved, there's

189
00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:03.439
<v Speaker 2>playing time involved, there's happiness involved all these things that

190
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:04.000
<v Speaker 2>they need.

191
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:06.879
<v Speaker 7>To put rules in. They need to say, Okay, here's

192
00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:10.560
<v Speaker 7>your transport portal from April first to April thirtyeth.

193
00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:16.959
<v Speaker 6>Okay, and once that's done, okay, you can you can't.

194
00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:19.079
<v Speaker 7>Jump into portal in May, June or July.

195
00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:22.759
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, they have that. They have that, where whereas yeah,

196
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:23.519
<v Speaker 4>there's limits on what.

197
00:08:23.959 --> 00:08:25.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So the timing of the whole thing because it's

198
00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:27.920
<v Speaker 2>during the tournament that they opened the portal and people

199
00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:30.319
<v Speaker 2>are jumping through. Uh, there's going to have to be

200
00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:33.279
<v Speaker 2>some changes, there's no question, Brian, Because here's the funny

201
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:35.039
<v Speaker 2>thing for me is there was on A. There was

202
00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:37.559
<v Speaker 2>on A doesn't know about the portal until it happens

203
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:41.159
<v Speaker 2>to them, right, everybody everybody's dealing what they're do. Oh no,

204
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:41.799
<v Speaker 2>it's us.

205
00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:42.399
<v Speaker 4>I hate it.

206
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:46.519
<v Speaker 3>Yeah right, yeah, yeah, you took my good guy.

207
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:49.720
<v Speaker 7>Yeah yeah, I mean, I mean you look what Satan

208
00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:53.720
<v Speaker 7>John's has done with two guys already. You know, they

209
00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:55.399
<v Speaker 7>got the kid from as U, and they got the

210
00:08:55.480 --> 00:09:01.039
<v Speaker 7>kid from I think it's Providence, and other that the

211
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:04.039
<v Speaker 7>guard they got for Providence. So you know they're they're

212
00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:08.039
<v Speaker 7>attacking you very hard. But you know, we'll see, it's.

213
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:09.639
<v Speaker 6>Going to be interesting to see. I don't know where

214
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:10.519
<v Speaker 6>Lewis is going to go.

215
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:15.000
<v Speaker 7>I'll talk to Georgetown or yeah, that name.

216
00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:17.840
<v Speaker 2>That that name had been mentioned. I thought he'd be

217
00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:22.080
<v Speaker 2>a perfect fit for Houston going back to Texas. Who knows,

218
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:26.080
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't does it really matter where he goes he's gone.

219
00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:28.080
<v Speaker 7>You know, and and and and tell he learned not

220
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:28.679
<v Speaker 7>to make.

221
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:33.759
<v Speaker 6>Uh fifty mistakes a game. You know, you're right, that's good.

222
00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:35.279
<v Speaker 6>That's could be his biggest problem.

223
00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:38.159
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well, you know, like I said, if he slows

224
00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:39.480
<v Speaker 3>down a little bit, I think that he made that

225
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:40.799
<v Speaker 3>he makes better decisions.

226
00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:42.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, not to their ball control. Not to bring up

227
00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:46.000
<v Speaker 2>this guy with kurk Cruso. Now he's leaving again Kentucky.

228
00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:48.639
<v Speaker 2>He was here for three years, went to West Virginia,

229
00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:50.919
<v Speaker 2>Okay a year, and went to Kentucky a year. No,

230
00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:53.759
<v Speaker 2>I think he's just enjoying the system. He's not going

231
00:09:53.840 --> 00:09:55.120
<v Speaker 2>to be in the NBA. He's not going to play

232
00:09:55.120 --> 00:09:56.320
<v Speaker 2>in the nb He's not going to make the money

233
00:09:56.320 --> 00:09:59.159
<v Speaker 2>he's making now. And you're thinking, maybe that's just the

234
00:09:59.159 --> 00:10:00.679
<v Speaker 2>way some of these guys going to treat this.

235
00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:03.799
<v Speaker 4>What's give me a hand out? You know his hands out,

236
00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:06.720
<v Speaker 4>what do you got for this hand? Give me that?

237
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:08.759
<v Speaker 7>Well, pretty soon these guys going to run out of

238
00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:11.600
<v Speaker 7>They can only play basketball for five years, right, and

239
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:13.480
<v Speaker 7>that's going to be it. I mean some of these guys,

240
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:16.200
<v Speaker 7>I think have been like, you're a Stanford, you've been

241
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:17.240
<v Speaker 7>around for fifteen years.

242
00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:20.840
<v Speaker 2>I think, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, Brian, Well thank you,

243
00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:22.480
<v Speaker 2>miss Thanks Okay, good.

244
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:25.039
<v Speaker 4>Call the Uh yeah, Well that's the thing about it.

245
00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:26.840
<v Speaker 3>I mean you you know, you you move, you go

246
00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:29.559
<v Speaker 3>somewhere else, you get get another nail money, you know.

247
00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:31.159
<v Speaker 3>I can't knock these guys. I mean they're going to

248
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:33.519
<v Speaker 3>go out after five years and go sell insurance. So

249
00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:35.240
<v Speaker 3>this is a bad how much that?

250
00:10:36.440 --> 00:10:38.559
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? Okay? So then ask you you.

251
00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:40.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm asking you as a professor, because you teach that

252
00:10:40.519 --> 00:10:43.399
<v Speaker 2>you they you touch, you talked, you talked about professor,

253
00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:46.360
<v Speaker 2>you talked this mor well you you're obviously at west Point.

254
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:48.320
<v Speaker 2>Teaching is what you at west Point, and that's a

255
00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:50.519
<v Speaker 2>bad example because it's a different type of different, very

256
00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:51.080
<v Speaker 2>different school.

257
00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:51.480
<v Speaker 4>Okay.

258
00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:53.720
<v Speaker 2>So so I'm asking you this and just in your

259
00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:57.240
<v Speaker 2>thoughts on student athletes. Student athletes member of that phrase

260
00:10:57.240 --> 00:10:59.519
<v Speaker 2>back in the day, do they actually matter.

261
00:10:59.799 --> 00:11:01.000
<v Speaker 4>I know a bunch of them do.

262
00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:03.879
<v Speaker 2>But a bunch of them don't care about the student

263
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:06.399
<v Speaker 2>part of it and the academic part of it or

264
00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:11.600
<v Speaker 2>the graduation part of it. Right, that's all lost in this. Yeah, no, no, no,

265
00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:13.360
<v Speaker 2>it's gone. Yeah there there.

266
00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:15.080
<v Speaker 3>You know, there are still students, Like I said, there

267
00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:16.960
<v Speaker 3>are still students that are out there that are going

268
00:11:17.039 --> 00:11:19.919
<v Speaker 3>to spend five years at a universe why or multiple

269
00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:23.080
<v Speaker 3>universities that at some point are going to go out

270
00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:25.279
<v Speaker 3>there and sell insurance or at some point they're going

271
00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:27.759
<v Speaker 3>to go out there and get a job. They're not

272
00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:32.000
<v Speaker 3>going to make the NBA. But Shaquer Sanders, you know,

273
00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:35.080
<v Speaker 3>when they asked him about classes, he never attended a

274
00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:39.000
<v Speaker 3>class the whole time he was at Colorado. You know,

275
00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:42.559
<v Speaker 3>it's like, it's okay, you know what, that's not a

276
00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:45.480
<v Speaker 3>student athlete, Okay. And there are students that are like that.

277
00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:48.279
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I guess there's always been students that are

278
00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:52.320
<v Speaker 3>like that. Yeah, that have been that way. But yeah, yeah,

279
00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:54.720
<v Speaker 3>it certainly is different at West Point. At West Point,

280
00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:57.960
<v Speaker 3>you're you're in a very different situation.

281
00:11:57.679 --> 00:11:59.000
<v Speaker 4>Right, And no transfers.

282
00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:01.639
<v Speaker 3>I don't think they can't take any transfers in that

283
00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:04.440
<v Speaker 3>people can transfer out, but only after they're up to

284
00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:08.759
<v Speaker 3>the sophomore year. No nil money. That's why you know.

285
00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:12.240
<v Speaker 3>I was talking to somebody today. They just got a

286
00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:19.399
<v Speaker 3>new athletic director to shoots. Pronounce his name, Dad Dokas.

287
00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:22.039
<v Speaker 3>He used to be here at Arizona. He's a new

288
00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:25.320
<v Speaker 3>athletic director at West Point. They said they had over

289
00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:29.679
<v Speaker 3>thirty sitting athletic directors apply for that job. Because you

290
00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:30.879

<v Speaker 3>to deal with anything, you don't have to deal with

292
00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:35.200
<v Speaker 3>the nil you don't have to deal with transfer portal,

293
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:38.240
<v Speaker 3>you don't have to deal with revenue sharing, none of

294
00:12:38.279 --> 00:12:38.840
<v Speaker 3>that stuff.

295
00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:44.879
<v Speaker 4>So, yeah, wouldn't this happen? They just just announced the job.

296
00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:45.840
<v Speaker 4>Two three?

297
00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:49.240
<v Speaker 3>The guy used to work here, Yeah, in what capacity?

298
00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:51.399
<v Speaker 3>He was a development officer.

299
00:12:51.480 --> 00:12:53.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh really, it must have been under my last not

300
00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:56.000
<v Speaker 2>the last ten twelve years, because I would have known

301
00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:57.399
<v Speaker 2>who it was back in the day.

302
00:12:57.799 --> 00:12:58.639
<v Speaker 4>I know he was here.

303
00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:01.360
<v Speaker 2>He was here since I've been here, since you've been here,

304
00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:04.080
<v Speaker 2>since you returned here. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, that's my point.

305
00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:10.440
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't the paper yeah for them? Yeah, okay, So anyway,

306
00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:12.639
<v Speaker 2>which makes sense? When did you know, I don't want

307
00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:15.600
<v Speaker 2>to do what there. Yeah, you still got a d job.

308
00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:17.399
<v Speaker 2>You can move on from there. I think the last

309
00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:19.200
<v Speaker 2>time that they opened up that ad job, they didn't.

310
00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:21.720
<v Speaker 2>I bet they didn't have thirty sitting athletic directors apply

311
00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:26.080
<v Speaker 2>for it. Wasn't it wasn't that great of a job, right, Okay, Yeah,

312
00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:27.759
<v Speaker 2>I mean we get a minute, good a minute?

313
00:13:27.799 --> 00:13:28.639
<v Speaker 4>Okay, okay, cool.

314
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:31.840
<v Speaker 2>No, I didn't know that. That's interesting. Navy, same way, Navy,

315
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:32.200
<v Speaker 2>the same way.

316
00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:32.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

317
00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:36.200
<v Speaker 3>As a matter of fact, the American Athletic Conference just

318
00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:42.000
<v Speaker 3>announced mandatory revenue sharing for everybody except Army and Navy

319
00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:47.120
<v Speaker 3>Air Forces. Air Forces in a different conference. Oh no, yeah,

320
00:13:47.240 --> 00:13:50.159
<v Speaker 3>Army Athletic Conference. It was the American Athletic Conference. It

321
00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:55.200
<v Speaker 3>was the first conference to formalize the revenue sharing model.

322
00:13:56.440 --> 00:13:58.480
<v Speaker 3>But Army and Navy obviously are not part of that.

323
00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:00.759
<v Speaker 3>You can't do it. You can't take care extra money.

00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:14.319
<v Speaker 17>days or a week after the season because everybody sort

451
00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:16.400
<v Speaker 17>of wanted to think about it or at least look

452
00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:19.160
<v Speaker 17>like they're thinking about it. But now things happened almost

453
00:20:19.240 --> 00:20:21.880
<v Speaker 17>right away. And yeah, so that that's you know, it's

454
00:20:21.960 --> 00:20:25.599
<v Speaker 17>no suppose and it'll be it'll be spending for yeah,

455
00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:29.920
<v Speaker 17>good six eight weeks probably right the last years.

456
00:20:29.960 --> 00:20:34.759
<v Speaker 4>With no probably access to Tommy for a while until.

457
00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:37.440
<v Speaker 17>It doesn't know, I mean you know, yeah, typically not

458
00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:41.400
<v Speaker 17>and he likes to wait until things are more settled,

459
00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:44.720
<v Speaker 17>and you know, unless it's possible. I've had success the

460
00:20:44.839 --> 00:20:46.839
<v Speaker 17>last couple of years, catching him at you know, one

461
00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:51.480
<v Speaker 17>of these fans things that they'll have around the state.

462
00:20:51.599 --> 00:20:53.279
<v Speaker 17>If he goes to one of those, I'll usually go

463
00:20:53.400 --> 00:20:54.519
<v Speaker 17>and ask him, Hey, what's going on.

464
00:20:54.720 --> 00:20:55.720
<v Speaker 7>He's great man, he just.

465
00:20:55.759 --> 00:20:58.039
<v Speaker 17>Doesn't he doesn't want to set up press conferences or

466
00:20:58.119 --> 00:21:01.319
<v Speaker 17>whatever until he knows, you know, what's going on, because

467
00:21:01.359 --> 00:21:04.880
<v Speaker 17>I think right now, frankly, they're probably scrambling and there's

468
00:21:05.079 --> 00:21:07.000
<v Speaker 17>there's no need to you know, it's like what we

469
00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:08.559
<v Speaker 17>even say at this point.

470
00:21:08.799 --> 00:21:13.039
<v Speaker 2>Right, were you surprised about kJ one and Steph on two?

471
00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:19.799
<v Speaker 17>Not really about kJ but definite a little bit, only

472
00:21:19.880 --> 00:21:22.559
<v Speaker 17>because I talked to him after the he played a

473
00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:24.519
<v Speaker 17>couple of minutes against Akron in the first round, and

474
00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:28.240
<v Speaker 17>he was really really excited, and I mean he's always excited,

475
00:21:28.359 --> 00:21:30.279
<v Speaker 17>just kind of that kind of guy. But he said

476
00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:33.559
<v Speaker 17>some things like that he was it was hard, but

477
00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:35.079
<v Speaker 17>he was being patient and he felt like he was

478
00:21:35.119 --> 00:21:37.319
<v Speaker 17>in a good program. He said something about Tommy. I

479
00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:40.039
<v Speaker 17>couldn't make out exactly what he said, but it seemed

480
00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:43.400
<v Speaker 17>to be pretty upbeaty, and so I left that conversation thinking, well,

481
00:21:43.599 --> 00:21:47.200
<v Speaker 17>at least he's probably coming back. And then but then again,

482
00:21:47.319 --> 00:21:49.200
<v Speaker 17>you know, the other thing is and this is true.

483
00:21:49.319 --> 00:21:51.400
<v Speaker 17>This is true with kJ on a on a on

484
00:21:51.480 --> 00:21:55.519
<v Speaker 17>a higher level, these guys both showed enough potential that

485
00:21:55.680 --> 00:21:58.200
<v Speaker 17>they could, you know, somebody else could see them and say, Okay,

486
00:21:58.240 --> 00:22:01.000
<v Speaker 17>I want that guy from my starting five, and I've

487
00:22:01.039 --> 00:22:04.680
<v Speaker 17>got my NNIL collective which can give him X amount.

488
00:22:04.839 --> 00:22:08.359
<v Speaker 17>And that's possibly what's going on, or at least at

489
00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:12.440
<v Speaker 17>least their families and or agents are saying, hey, we

490
00:22:12.519 --> 00:22:14.839
<v Speaker 17>got to shop around and see see what's best. But

491
00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:17.359
<v Speaker 17>you know, and and then there's you know, aside from

492
00:22:17.400 --> 00:22:21.240
<v Speaker 17>the end of Aisle, there's always the consideration of playing

493
00:22:21.319 --> 00:22:23.799
<v Speaker 17>time and role. And you could make an argument that

494
00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:28.279
<v Speaker 17>if Arizona keeps, Tobay Waka and Henry Vase are combined

495
00:22:28.279 --> 00:22:30.880
<v Speaker 17>with Cope and there's no there's no guarantees to any

496
00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:33.960
<v Speaker 17>of that. But if you see those all and you're

497
00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:37.519
<v Speaker 17>Steven Sepan, you could say, okay, maybe maybe I should

498
00:22:37.559 --> 00:22:40.000
<v Speaker 17>go somewhere else's you know, as long as like you developing.

499
00:22:40.079 --> 00:22:42.440
<v Speaker 17>But again, I was surprised because he was talking about

500
00:22:42.519 --> 00:22:44.599
<v Speaker 17>developing and how happy he was, and I think, you know,

501
00:22:44.799 --> 00:22:46.480
<v Speaker 17>I think they sold them on the fact that, hey,

502
00:22:46.519 --> 00:22:47.960
<v Speaker 17>it's going to take you two or three years, but

503
00:22:48.359 --> 00:22:51.599
<v Speaker 17>you could really be something and maybe now he's not

504
00:22:51.680 --> 00:22:53.440
<v Speaker 17>gonna not going to do it at Arizona.

505
00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:57.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So do you think you know, one, how much

506
00:22:58.119 --> 00:23:01.240
<v Speaker 3>testing of the water is? Is this thing when you

507
00:23:01.359 --> 00:23:04.160
<v Speaker 3>when you jump in a portal like that for for

508
00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:07.400
<v Speaker 3>a guy like Stephan the But the other thing is

509
00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:10.880
<v Speaker 3>do you think that uh, Tommy sits down with these

510
00:23:10.920 --> 00:23:14.599
<v Speaker 3>guys and says, hey, not looking really good for you

511
00:23:14.759 --> 00:23:15.880
<v Speaker 3>doing stuff here?

512
00:23:17.799 --> 00:23:20.480
<v Speaker 17>He does sit down with them, Yeah, yeah, No, he

513
00:23:20.599 --> 00:23:22.759
<v Speaker 17>does sit down with him, and they're they're actually having meetings,

514
00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:26.559
<v Speaker 17>I believe this week and and and those kind of

515
00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:29.200
<v Speaker 17>things can be said and and from what I've been

516
00:23:29.240 --> 00:23:31.599
<v Speaker 17>able to tell so far, I don't think that was

517
00:23:31.640 --> 00:23:33.720
<v Speaker 17>the case with Stefan. I think they I think they

518
00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:38.480
<v Speaker 17>want him. And but if somebody's gonna throw a whole

519
00:23:38.519 --> 00:23:40.000
<v Speaker 17>lot of playing time and a whole lot of money

520
00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:41.599
<v Speaker 17>at him and more than you.

521
00:23:41.640 --> 00:23:44.599
<v Speaker 6>Know he might get here, then you know they're they're

522
00:23:44.680 --> 00:23:45.319
<v Speaker 6>not gonna.

523
00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:47.359
<v Speaker 17>Hold him back either. I think we saw that a

524
00:23:47.359 --> 00:23:49.200
<v Speaker 17>little bit last year with on a on a higher

525
00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:53.079
<v Speaker 17>level with Tilmar Ballo, where where he had you know, options,

526
00:23:53.240 --> 00:23:55.519
<v Speaker 17>and you know, it's not like they wanted him to

527
00:23:55.640 --> 00:23:56.319
<v Speaker 17>leave he was a.

528
00:23:56.319 --> 00:23:57.279
<v Speaker 7>No conference player.

529
00:23:57.359 --> 00:24:00.279
<v Speaker 17>But it's like at some point you're like, okay, get

530
00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:02.839
<v Speaker 17>it and we'll see you later. So but but to

531
00:24:02.920 --> 00:24:06.079
<v Speaker 17>your point thought, Yeah, I don't think he. I think

532
00:24:06.119 --> 00:24:09.160
<v Speaker 17>they wanted Stephan to stay, and I'm pretty sure they

533
00:24:09.200 --> 00:24:12.519
<v Speaker 17>felt the same way about kJ. But I don't know.

534
00:24:12.640 --> 00:24:16.079
<v Speaker 17>It's hard to say event exactly what happened with kJ lewis.

535
00:24:16.599 --> 00:24:19.000
<v Speaker 17>He hasn't you know, we haven't been able to talk

536
00:24:19.039 --> 00:24:21.640
<v Speaker 17>to him since that game, and he hasn't posted anything

537
00:24:21.720 --> 00:24:24.440
<v Speaker 17>publicly other than he retweeted a post where somebody said

538
00:24:24.440 --> 00:24:27.200
<v Speaker 17>it's time for fresh start. So if if that's what

539
00:24:27.359 --> 00:24:29.359
<v Speaker 17>he thinks as well, then then maybe it is that

540
00:24:29.599 --> 00:24:32.160
<v Speaker 17>it's possible because you know, I know he told me so.

541
00:24:32.359 --> 00:24:34.920
<v Speaker 17>It was really up and down here. Obviously went through

542
00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:36.759
<v Speaker 17>a lot with you know, going to the bench. He

543
00:24:36.799 --> 00:24:39.960
<v Speaker 17>had those texts early in the season that didn't didn't

544
00:24:40.039 --> 00:24:42.519
<v Speaker 17>look good for him. They Tommy Blake took him out

545
00:24:42.519 --> 00:24:45.440
<v Speaker 17>of lineup, and then he stayed out and then he

546
00:24:45.559 --> 00:24:47.640
<v Speaker 17>had the you know, you know, he had some pretty

547
00:24:47.680 --> 00:24:51.680
<v Speaker 17>good play in Big Twelve Conference and but suffered the

548
00:24:51.880 --> 00:24:55.599
<v Speaker 17>wrist injury. And you know, so and he's from Texas.

549
00:24:55.880 --> 00:24:59.039
<v Speaker 17>It's very possible, you know, especially if the nil is

550
00:24:59.119 --> 00:25:01.759
<v Speaker 17>better somewhere that you might want to take a different

551
00:25:01.759 --> 00:25:02.519
<v Speaker 17>book somewhere else too.

552
00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:04.880
<v Speaker 2>So in our conversations, if you can, you don't have

553
00:25:05.039 --> 00:25:08.319
<v Speaker 2>to talk about the price it takes to get a

554
00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:13.160
<v Speaker 2>good guard party minimum one and two. Oh god, I

555
00:25:13.279 --> 00:25:15.359
<v Speaker 2>was going to ask you, Oh, of the international players,

556
00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:18.240
<v Speaker 2>could you clarify on what they can and cannot do

557
00:25:18.440 --> 00:25:19.880
<v Speaker 2>in terms of nile or get.

558
00:25:21.480 --> 00:25:25.599
<v Speaker 17>You know, that's that's been I believe it's technically still

559
00:25:25.920 --> 00:25:31.519
<v Speaker 17>that international players are only supposed to get passive income,

560
00:25:31.920 --> 00:25:34.559
<v Speaker 17>meaning they're not out you know, signing autographs or whatever.

561
00:25:34.640 --> 00:25:37.920
<v Speaker 17>I think that's you know, or howkeying cereals or whatever.

562
00:25:38.039 --> 00:25:40.039
<v Speaker 17>They can't do that, and you don't really see a

563
00:25:40.079 --> 00:25:43.200
<v Speaker 17>lot of that. But but these whole collectives are based

564
00:25:43.279 --> 00:25:46.759
<v Speaker 17>on sort of passive things because and there's this huge

565
00:25:46.839 --> 00:25:49.039
<v Speaker 17>gray area and nobody's really come down on because the

566
00:25:49.119 --> 00:25:55.359
<v Speaker 17>whole international thing that's like a it's like a you.

567
00:25:55.400 --> 00:26:00.480
<v Speaker 7>Know, a federal issue. It's it's a issue.

568
00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:03.119
<v Speaker 17>It's not an nc double issue. The NCAA doesn't care,

569
00:26:03.559 --> 00:26:05.759
<v Speaker 17>and I think the government's kind of just it sounds

570
00:26:05.799 --> 00:26:07.559
<v Speaker 17>like they're not you know, I've tried to get comment

571
00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:09.359
<v Speaker 17>for years now, literally what's.

572
00:26:09.200 --> 00:26:09.759
<v Speaker 7>Going on with it?

573
00:26:10.039 --> 00:26:12.720
<v Speaker 17>They I think there's this other fish deprived from the government.

574
00:26:12.759 --> 00:26:15.599
<v Speaker 17>They don't really care. I don't think so. So meanwhile,

575
00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:18.240
<v Speaker 17>people are going ahead with this and and and most

576
00:26:18.279 --> 00:26:21.039
<v Speaker 17>of these collectives are such that they'll they'll pay guys

577
00:26:21.759 --> 00:26:26.200
<v Speaker 17>and and in exchange for them, you know, being part

578
00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:29.160
<v Speaker 17>of this deal where they're supposed to show up, but

579
00:26:29.200 --> 00:26:31.519
<v Speaker 17>they're sort of invited to show up so that technically

580
00:26:31.559 --> 00:26:34.200
<v Speaker 17>they don't have to, and and that that that can

581
00:26:34.279 --> 00:26:36.680
<v Speaker 17>be declined. I think that's where they're kind of defining it.

582
00:26:36.759 --> 00:26:37.359
<v Speaker 7>That's pass it.

583
00:26:37.519 --> 00:26:39.680
<v Speaker 17>So there's there's a real you know, pray area, and

584
00:26:39.720 --> 00:26:41.000
<v Speaker 17>that's where this is all happening.

585
00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:44.200
<v Speaker 2>Just what you're selling the subject and just with he

586
00:26:44.519 --> 00:26:47.799
<v Speaker 2>was on commercials AC commercials, right, So did he get

587
00:26:47.839 --> 00:26:48.359
<v Speaker 2>paid for that?

588
00:26:48.599 --> 00:26:48.759
<v Speaker 12>Is that?

589
00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:49.200
<v Speaker 7>Yeah?

590
00:26:50.480 --> 00:26:53.880
<v Speaker 17>I don't know. I mean that that is done and

591
00:26:54.000 --> 00:26:56.039
<v Speaker 17>I remember those and I was thinking the same thing.

592
00:26:56.160 --> 00:26:59.119
<v Speaker 17>And and you know the thing with all this anile

593
00:26:59.200 --> 00:27:01.640
<v Speaker 17>stuff is done that is transparent. We can't see any

594
00:27:01.680 --> 00:27:04.079
<v Speaker 17>of it. I did public records request to you of

595
00:27:04.160 --> 00:27:06.680
<v Speaker 17>AD to see the ones that run through them. They

596
00:27:06.759 --> 00:27:09.559
<v Speaker 17>won't return them because it's protected and they say or whatever,

597
00:27:10.359 --> 00:27:13.880
<v Speaker 17>and I think, you know, it's just it's so nobody knows,

598
00:27:13.960 --> 00:27:17.079
<v Speaker 17>I mean, and you know, I think I'm guessing in

599
00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:19.799
<v Speaker 17>his case, he probably figured, Okay, if they come after him,

600
00:27:20.200 --> 00:27:22.839
<v Speaker 17>then he'll just leave or whatever and not be in

601
00:27:22.920 --> 00:27:25.680
<v Speaker 17>college anymore, right, you know, I don't know, but I

602
00:27:25.720 --> 00:27:29.480
<v Speaker 17>don't think anybody did. So it's just, honestly, I have

603
00:27:29.640 --> 00:27:33.039
<v Speaker 17>no idea. It's just there's so much gray area and

604
00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:39.680
<v Speaker 17>so much untransparent things about all this that it's really difficult.

605
00:27:40.119 --> 00:27:43.079
<v Speaker 2>And now the price the price of a good point

606
00:27:43.119 --> 00:27:45.400
<v Speaker 2>guard guard at this level.

607
00:27:47.480 --> 00:27:49.960
<v Speaker 17>Well, I think you're seeing you know, there's people I

608
00:27:50.039 --> 00:27:53.640
<v Speaker 17>think what you know, it used to be last year,

609
00:27:53.920 --> 00:27:57.680
<v Speaker 17>going into this season, it was about three million for

610
00:27:57.839 --> 00:28:01.519
<v Speaker 17>your whole, you know, whole power five kind of team.

611
00:28:01.640 --> 00:28:03.640
<v Speaker 17>And then I was talking to somebody at Open Doors

612
00:28:03.640 --> 00:28:06.039
<v Speaker 17>to the company who runs a lot of these NL

613
00:28:06.160 --> 00:28:08.960
<v Speaker 17>contracts through them, and he was saying, you know, the

614
00:28:09.039 --> 00:28:11.440
<v Speaker 17>numbers were seeing there is now three million for starting five.

615
00:28:12.160 --> 00:28:16.039
<v Speaker 17>So and so that was a year ago now, and

616
00:28:16.119 --> 00:28:18.920
<v Speaker 17>now you're talking about people who, you know, some boosters

617
00:28:19.000 --> 00:28:20.759
<v Speaker 17>get excited and they dump a bunch of money into

618
00:28:20.839 --> 00:28:24.519
<v Speaker 17>the NIL at whatever school and there there's talk that

619
00:28:25.319 --> 00:28:27.160
<v Speaker 17>you know, could be more like you might need five

620
00:28:27.240 --> 00:28:30.079
<v Speaker 17>to ten million in a collective to get a team

621
00:28:30.119 --> 00:28:33.960
<v Speaker 17>for next season, and I know that that. I think

622
00:28:34.039 --> 00:28:37.160
<v Speaker 17>Jeff Goodman, who's pretty plugged in, tweeted something earlier today

623
00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:40.279
<v Speaker 17>that the top players in the transfer portal are now

624
00:28:40.559 --> 00:28:42.720
<v Speaker 17>asking or that their agents are asking two and a

625
00:28:42.720 --> 00:28:45.079
<v Speaker 17>half to three million each for them. But that's just

626
00:28:45.200 --> 00:28:47.839
<v Speaker 17>asking price, and so you don't know who's actually getting what.

627
00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:50.559
<v Speaker 17>We don't know. It's possible the agents are just saying

628
00:28:50.599 --> 00:28:52.759
<v Speaker 17>that because they want to inflate the value of their players.

629
00:28:53.599 --> 00:28:56.559
<v Speaker 17>Who knows, but it is it is possible. I think

630
00:28:56.599 --> 00:28:59.559
<v Speaker 17>the open doors is pretty legit on the because they

631
00:28:59.640 --> 00:29:02.240
<v Speaker 17>see the stuff, but you know, we can't, but they can't.

632
00:29:02.400 --> 00:29:05.880
<v Speaker 17>And it's possible that, you know, based on the fact

633
00:29:05.920 --> 00:29:08.480
<v Speaker 17>that if it was three million for starting five, maybe

634
00:29:08.519 --> 00:29:11.160
<v Speaker 17>it's going to be you know, more like five or

635
00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:13.519
<v Speaker 17>six million, and the starters will be making about a million,

636
00:29:13.559 --> 00:29:15.839
<v Speaker 17>which is astounding when you think about it, because you know,

637
00:29:15.960 --> 00:29:19.039
<v Speaker 17>that's that's like NBA minimum money, and so now is

638
00:29:19.720 --> 00:29:21.400
<v Speaker 17>that what it's going to be. I don't know, but

639
00:29:21.599 --> 00:29:23.759
<v Speaker 17>that's you know, I think we're just we're kind of

640
00:29:23.799 --> 00:29:26.240
<v Speaker 17>in this wild less period still where it's not really

641
00:29:27.079 --> 00:29:30.599
<v Speaker 17>nothing's really settled down yet. The revenue sharing hasn't kicked in,

642
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:32.960
<v Speaker 17>and there's some talk that when that happens, there's going

643
00:29:33.039 --> 00:29:36.440
<v Speaker 17>to be a little more package where it's packaged with

644
00:29:36.519 --> 00:29:39.160
<v Speaker 17>an IL and therefore it's more controlled. Although it's hard

645
00:29:39.240 --> 00:29:41.319
<v Speaker 17>to imagine, but that's that's what I've been hearing. But

646
00:29:42.200 --> 00:29:44.400
<v Speaker 17>we honestly, we just we just don't know. It's just

647
00:29:44.640 --> 00:29:46.279
<v Speaker 17>it's really pretty crazy right now.

648
00:29:46.880 --> 00:29:49.720
<v Speaker 2>Wow wow, wow, So well you threw out a number,

649
00:29:50.000 --> 00:29:52.440
<v Speaker 2>I think yesterday the day before you collected three quarters

650
00:29:52.440 --> 00:29:54.880
<v Speaker 2>of a million just to I'm thinking, what the world?

651
00:29:54.880 --> 00:29:55.359
<v Speaker 4>What the world?

652
00:29:55.799 --> 00:29:57.359
<v Speaker 2>That's kind of on the low end now that you're

653
00:29:57.400 --> 00:30:00.400
<v Speaker 2>turn about that. So let me ask you, because you know, I, yeah,

654
00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:02.799
<v Speaker 2>I lived, I lived with this season with you every

655
00:30:02.839 --> 00:30:03.240
<v Speaker 2>now and again.

656
00:30:03.240 --> 00:30:04.839
<v Speaker 4>I'm not the day to day guy like I used

657
00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:06.000
<v Speaker 4>to be. We all know that.

658
00:30:06.279 --> 00:30:09.599
<v Speaker 2>So how was it for you to go through the

659
00:30:09.680 --> 00:30:13.599
<v Speaker 2>season because the team is four and five? You know,

660
00:30:13.799 --> 00:30:16.720
<v Speaker 2>sometimes it's difficult, sometimes it's not How would you rate

661
00:30:16.799 --> 00:30:20.559
<v Speaker 2>this season from front to end for you as far

662
00:30:20.640 --> 00:30:21.200
<v Speaker 2>as how they.

663
00:30:23.119 --> 00:30:23.680
<v Speaker 11>No for you?

664
00:30:24.000 --> 00:30:26.599
<v Speaker 2>And then we'll talk about how they did overall, but

665
00:30:26.720 --> 00:30:28.240
<v Speaker 2>for you, because you know, we all go into the seasons.

666
00:30:28.279 --> 00:30:30.680
<v Speaker 2>I did twenty five of them in the newspaper world

667
00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:31.880
<v Speaker 2>and you've done a number.

668
00:30:31.720 --> 00:30:34.200
<v Speaker 4>Of them now obviously. But is it enjoyable? Is it

669
00:30:34.279 --> 00:30:34.720
<v Speaker 4>a pain?

670
00:30:35.000 --> 00:30:35.119
<v Speaker 7>Is it?

671
00:30:35.240 --> 00:30:35.960
<v Speaker 4>You know what I'm saying?

672
00:30:36.039 --> 00:30:36.160
<v Speaker 5>Is it?

673
00:30:36.720 --> 00:30:37.240
<v Speaker 6>Is it fun?

674
00:30:37.319 --> 00:30:37.400
<v Speaker 4>Ye?

675
00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:39.880
<v Speaker 17>Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, No, I'd say it was. It

676
00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:41.920
<v Speaker 17>was up there as far as any of them that

677
00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:45.200
<v Speaker 17>I mean, as far as being enjoyable to cover, because

678
00:30:47.079 --> 00:30:49.799
<v Speaker 17>they're good guys. I don't think there's really like a

679
00:30:49.920 --> 00:30:51.759
<v Speaker 17>jerk on this entire team, and it's not.

680
00:30:51.799 --> 00:30:52.480
<v Speaker 7>Always the case.

681
00:30:52.559 --> 00:30:55.759
<v Speaker 17>There's usually at least a couple. And I think up

682
00:30:55.799 --> 00:30:58.599
<v Speaker 17>and down and and you know, people kind of wondered

683
00:30:58.599 --> 00:31:01.119
<v Speaker 17>about Caleb Love for example. I've had many people and

684
00:31:01.319 --> 00:31:03.079
<v Speaker 17>you know, I don't know him as well. You know,

685
00:31:03.160 --> 00:31:05.160
<v Speaker 17>we don't you know how much time. We don't spend

686
00:31:05.160 --> 00:31:06.440
<v Speaker 17>that much time with him. But I send a lot

687
00:31:06.480 --> 00:31:08.160
<v Speaker 17>of people within the program tell me, you don't know,

688
00:31:08.519 --> 00:31:11.680
<v Speaker 17>Kale was great. Everybody loves them, so okay, you know,

689
00:31:11.960 --> 00:31:14.440
<v Speaker 17>so there's that, you know, every time we've dealt with them,

690
00:31:14.480 --> 00:31:17.960
<v Speaker 17>and I would say, you know, and then I think,

691
00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:21.599
<v Speaker 17>just interestingly to me as a journalist, you know, is

692
00:31:21.960 --> 00:31:24.599
<v Speaker 17>what they went through, because they went through this crazy

693
00:31:24.880 --> 00:31:28.640
<v Speaker 17>November was you know, they they scheduled really difficult, and

694
00:31:28.720 --> 00:31:30.319
<v Speaker 17>then they you know, they came in with a lot

695
00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:33.160
<v Speaker 17>of unsettled pieces and they really struggled, and they went

696
00:31:33.200 --> 00:31:36.279
<v Speaker 17>to the Bahamas and they lost two of three games there,

697
00:31:36.359 --> 00:31:38.920
<v Speaker 17>and to me, that was really interesting to cover. I mean,

698
00:31:39.440 --> 00:31:42.000
<v Speaker 17>you know, I mean, it's I'm sure it's hard for

699
00:31:42.079 --> 00:31:43.920
<v Speaker 17>them to go through. I remember I was was kind

700
00:31:43.960 --> 00:31:46.799
<v Speaker 17>of awkward on the way out. We were all stuck

701
00:31:46.839 --> 00:31:49.160
<v Speaker 17>in that Nasau airport trying to get out, and I

702
00:31:49.240 --> 00:31:51.599
<v Speaker 17>remember I had to walk by the team to get

703
00:31:51.640 --> 00:31:54.759
<v Speaker 17>to my flight, which was different, and they're all just

704
00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:57.720
<v Speaker 17>sprawled out. You can just tell how upset everyone was,

705
00:31:57.839 --> 00:31:59.160
<v Speaker 17>and you know, it was kind of like trying to

706
00:31:59.799 --> 00:32:00.279
<v Speaker 17>you know, it.

707
00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:01.359
<v Speaker 7>Was just it was just awkward.

708
00:32:01.400 --> 00:32:03.400
<v Speaker 6>So it was so it went through that, and then

709
00:32:03.519 --> 00:32:04.319
<v Speaker 6>December they kind of.

710
00:32:04.319 --> 00:32:07.440
<v Speaker 17>Hit rock bottom with that UCLA loss, giving up that

711
00:32:07.559 --> 00:32:12.599
<v Speaker 17>game and then then UH crevious being declared out uh

712
00:32:12.839 --> 00:32:15.559
<v Speaker 17>for the season later November, and then after that started

713
00:32:15.599 --> 00:32:17.279
<v Speaker 17>pulling it together and they had a great run there

714
00:32:17.319 --> 00:32:20.119
<v Speaker 17>in the Big twelve and especially the first twelve games,

715
00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:22.599
<v Speaker 17>and then you know, the win at b YU, and

716
00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:24.920
<v Speaker 17>I mean there was some really some really fun spots

717
00:32:25.519 --> 00:32:27.559
<v Speaker 17>like that, and you know, and I just like going

718
00:32:27.640 --> 00:32:30.680
<v Speaker 17>to some of the new venues and seeing what they're

719
00:32:30.720 --> 00:32:33.079
<v Speaker 17>all about. And you know, they did live up up

720
00:32:33.119 --> 00:32:36.279
<v Speaker 17>to that too, I think, you know, And interestingly, I

721
00:32:36.359 --> 00:32:38.759
<v Speaker 17>thought b YU was actually probably as good as anything

722
00:32:38.799 --> 00:32:43.000
<v Speaker 17>as much as you know, Kansas is probably the top environment.

723
00:32:43.079 --> 00:32:45.039
<v Speaker 17>And then and then Iowa State was really something and

724
00:32:45.640 --> 00:32:48.359
<v Speaker 17>a lot of times even though those crowds were loud

725
00:32:48.480 --> 00:32:51.440
<v Speaker 17>and passionate, they were actually pretty nice and that that

726
00:32:51.599 --> 00:32:53.640
<v Speaker 17>also struck me too, So it was fun to see that.

727
00:32:53.839 --> 00:32:56.000
<v Speaker 17>And then the players were fine to deal with. And

728
00:32:56.160 --> 00:32:58.240
<v Speaker 17>I fell on the road. I was usually only one

729
00:32:58.240 --> 00:33:00.680
<v Speaker 17>from Arizona, so so I got a little bit more

730
00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:02.960
<v Speaker 17>chance to talk to guys one on one, which I

731
00:33:03.039 --> 00:33:04.720
<v Speaker 17>don't get to at home, So that was that was

732
00:33:04.759 --> 00:33:07.799
<v Speaker 17>also fun. So I would say all to together, yeah,

733
00:33:07.799 --> 00:33:09.920
<v Speaker 17>I would say it's up there in the top three

734
00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:11.200
<v Speaker 17>or four years that had cover on.

735
00:33:11.440 --> 00:33:12.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that had to been neat seeing all the new

736
00:33:13.039 --> 00:33:16.400
<v Speaker 3>places you and it probably will probably we'll probably get

737
00:33:16.440 --> 00:33:19.799
<v Speaker 3>a little less nice when the rivalries really start kicking in.

738
00:33:20.720 --> 00:33:22.839
<v Speaker 3>But it was good to it's good to have good people.

739
00:33:23.119 --> 00:33:24.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to try and get it word matchwise with

740
00:33:25.480 --> 00:33:27.960
<v Speaker 3>with River because he very rarely.

741
00:33:27.799 --> 00:33:30.119
<v Speaker 4>Lets me talk. But I'm interested.

742
00:33:30.559 --> 00:33:35.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm interested to know you're when in the sweet sixteen

743
00:33:35.519 --> 00:33:39.039
<v Speaker 3>they ranked ESPN ranked US thirteenth out of the sixteen.

744
00:33:39.920 --> 00:33:42.880
<v Speaker 3>We performed pretty darn well against a Duke team that

745
00:33:43.039 --> 00:33:45.759
<v Speaker 3>is just crushing people. If you were to have ranked

746
00:33:45.839 --> 00:33:48.720
<v Speaker 3>US in the Elite eight against the Elite eight, not

747
00:33:48.960 --> 00:33:51.920
<v Speaker 3>not the final four, against the Elite eight, where would

748
00:33:51.960 --> 00:33:54.799
<v Speaker 3>you think we'd fall if we didn't play Duke.

749
00:33:57.160 --> 00:33:59.200
<v Speaker 17>Yeah, that's a good question, because in fact, I was

750
00:33:59.240 --> 00:34:02.000
<v Speaker 17>talking with somebody earlier about this, Hey, what if what

751
00:34:02.480 --> 00:34:04.599
<v Speaker 17>just plan? What f which common needs to do?

752
00:34:04.839 --> 00:34:04.880
<v Speaker 1>What?

753
00:34:06.160 --> 00:34:06.599
<v Speaker 7>What if?

754
00:34:06.880 --> 00:34:08.920
<v Speaker 17>What if that call wasn't made against the Yu and

755
00:34:09.000 --> 00:34:12.719
<v Speaker 17>they beat B y U and they sweep b YU,

756
00:34:12.880 --> 00:34:15.719
<v Speaker 17>They get a big quality win there, And maybe they're

757
00:34:15.800 --> 00:34:18.400
<v Speaker 17>not the last number four seed, maybe they're not in

758
00:34:18.559 --> 00:34:22.480
<v Speaker 17>Duke's East regional, maybe they're pod in Seattle is a

759
00:34:22.599 --> 00:34:25.280
<v Speaker 17>Midwest or South pod instead. All these things could happen

760
00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:27.559
<v Speaker 17>and history could be different than You're right. They could

761
00:34:27.559 --> 00:34:30.239
<v Speaker 17>be in the lad eight and yeah, I mean, I

762
00:34:30.519 --> 00:34:33.159
<v Speaker 17>don't know. I honestly think after the first certainly the

763
00:34:33.199 --> 00:34:37.599
<v Speaker 17>first three, maybe even the top you know four or

764
00:34:37.719 --> 00:34:41.639
<v Speaker 17>five teams, it's pretty much everyone's pretty close at that point.

765
00:34:41.719 --> 00:34:44.760
<v Speaker 17>And we saw Arizona just be Texas Tech. You know,

766
00:34:45.159 --> 00:34:48.159
<v Speaker 17>they say that that impact that game in the Big

767
00:34:48.199 --> 00:34:50.280
<v Speaker 17>twelve semi finals, that might have been that might have

768
00:34:50.320 --> 00:34:52.840
<v Speaker 17>been their best game of the year. That and the

769
00:34:53.000 --> 00:34:55.960
<v Speaker 17>win at i was at Bay and then the home

770
00:34:56.039 --> 00:35:01.079
<v Speaker 17>win against Iowa State. But yeah, I would say, yeah,

771
00:35:01.159 --> 00:35:03.559
<v Speaker 17>they would you know, I would say maybe they'd be

772
00:35:03.679 --> 00:35:06.280
<v Speaker 17>solid there in that seven eight range based on that.

773
00:35:06.400 --> 00:35:08.599
<v Speaker 17>It's just right they got a tough, drab playing duke

774
00:35:09.159 --> 00:35:11.960
<v Speaker 17>and that could be traced to you know that they

775
00:35:12.280 --> 00:35:14.719
<v Speaker 17>they lost the game or two. Actually don't see as

776
00:35:14.800 --> 00:35:17.440
<v Speaker 17>much as the even though you could argue that VA

777
00:35:17.519 --> 00:35:19.320
<v Speaker 17>you game maybe that called the other way. But the

778
00:35:19.360 --> 00:35:21.239
<v Speaker 17>one that really hurt him, in my opinion, is losing

779
00:35:21.280 --> 00:35:23.639
<v Speaker 17>that Kansas State and that was again I could have won.

780
00:35:23.719 --> 00:35:25.480
<v Speaker 17>The kind of fell apart at the end and it

781
00:35:25.639 --> 00:35:27.599
<v Speaker 17>was a big crowd, but it wasn't that nasty, and

782
00:35:27.840 --> 00:35:29.519
<v Speaker 17>you know, they could have done it, but it just

783
00:35:29.679 --> 00:35:30.880
<v Speaker 17>it just didn't didn't work out.

784
00:35:30.920 --> 00:35:33.400
<v Speaker 2>And that that was costly since we're talking hypotheticals. I

785
00:35:33.440 --> 00:35:35.480
<v Speaker 2>often dream of being six for five and good looking

786
00:35:36.159 --> 00:35:36.960
<v Speaker 2>without will leave you.

787
00:35:38.119 --> 00:35:46.840
<v Speaker 18>Thank you, thank you, Bruce, get them and yeah what

788
00:35:46.960 --> 00:35:49.440
<v Speaker 18>I get is nil, no money exactly.

789
00:35:50.960 --> 00:35:54.159
<v Speaker 4>They made that. They certainly don't want his image and likeness,

790
00:35:54.280 --> 00:35:54.880
<v Speaker 4>that's for sure.

791
00:35:56.559 --> 00:35:59.960
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, thank you, Okay, thanks you guys.

792
00:36:00.599 --> 00:36:00.840
<v Speaker 7>Nothing.

793
00:36:01.000 --> 00:36:03.480

794
00:36:03.519 --> 00:36:07.599
<v Speaker 2>say he said you heard me say, Hey, that's a

803
00:36:25.360 --> 00:36:26.840

00:36:26.880 --> 00:36:30.079
<v Speaker 2>twenty five former players, coaches, and friends to give insight

805

<v Speaker 2>to the coach and the man who led them, competed

806
00:36:32.519 --> 00:36:35.119
<v Speaker 2>against them, and inspired them twenty five chapters for his

<v Speaker 3>Ani Olmney. We're paying him enough money to figure it out. Now,

892
00:41:01.800 --> 00:41:04.320
<v Speaker 3>the question is, like you mentioned, it's like going, okay,

893
00:41:04.360 --> 00:41:07.480
<v Speaker 3>who's gonna give how much money to to visa and

894
00:41:07.559 --> 00:41:08.000
<v Speaker 3>this stuff?

895
00:41:08.639 --> 00:41:12.639
<v Speaker 21>The I don't know this is I think another thing

896
00:41:12.679 --> 00:41:15.360
<v Speaker 21>you want to think about too is, you know, can

897
00:41:15.440 --> 00:41:18.760
<v Speaker 21>you find comfort in seeing how Tommy like develops as

898
00:41:18.840 --> 00:41:19.440
<v Speaker 21>developed players?

899
00:41:19.480 --> 00:41:21.800
<v Speaker 4>I mean, like even this season started rough. We've all

900
00:41:21.840 --> 00:41:22.880
<v Speaker 4>talked about it, we all saw it.

901
00:41:23.599 --> 00:41:26.320
<v Speaker 21>By the end of it, you know, everyone's saying, hold

902
00:41:26.320 --> 00:41:28.079
<v Speaker 21>your head high, played into the wire.

903
00:41:28.840 --> 00:41:31.159
<v Speaker 3>But did he develop the players or did he develop

904
00:41:31.239 --> 00:41:34.039
<v Speaker 3>the team? So it's one thing about developing the team, okay,

905
00:41:34.400 --> 00:41:37.360
<v Speaker 3>but you know how much lawyer development do you do

906
00:41:37.480 --> 00:41:39.159
<v Speaker 3>when you got one and one and done? I mean,

907
00:41:39.159 --> 00:41:41.280
<v Speaker 3>how many or super other than Caleb Love.

908
00:41:41.400 --> 00:41:43.719
<v Speaker 4>I mean, we're not peak or shouldn't they just get better?

909
00:41:44.599 --> 00:41:48.039
<v Speaker 2>It's like when when when Calor Party's coaching, even to

910
00:41:48.079 --> 00:41:50.280
<v Speaker 2>the extent of maybe Sean which is a bad example,

911
00:41:50.599 --> 00:41:53.719
<v Speaker 2>but these guys are NBA players already. They go to

912
00:41:53.840 --> 00:41:56.280
<v Speaker 2>Kentucky because they have to go to school for a year.

913
00:41:56.760 --> 00:41:59.320
<v Speaker 2>So he ran them for six seven months. Did he

914
00:41:59.400 --> 00:42:01.320
<v Speaker 2>make them better? Were they already good and they just

915
00:42:01.320 --> 00:42:02.960
<v Speaker 2>started playing back? You know what I'm saying, He didn't

916
00:42:03.000 --> 00:42:05.639
<v Speaker 2>make him any better. They're just sitting and winning because

917
00:42:05.639 --> 00:42:06.960
<v Speaker 2>they want to go to the NBA. They had someone

918
00:42:07.000 --> 00:42:09.679
<v Speaker 2>need somewhere to go. Ayton, Was he any better? Was

919
00:42:09.800 --> 00:42:12.039
<v Speaker 2>Trier any better? Was all Cons any better? All these

920
00:42:12.079 --> 00:42:15.679
<v Speaker 2>guys probably not. They just here because they were here

921
00:42:15.719 --> 00:42:17.719
<v Speaker 2>and they needed a place to go. Doesn't make sense.

922
00:42:18.679 --> 00:42:20.360
<v Speaker 2>There was something I was gonna s there was something

923
00:42:20.400 --> 00:42:22.559
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna say, Uh be sorry, blah blah blah.

924
00:42:24.400 --> 00:42:26.840
<v Speaker 4>It's just so difficult and good luck. Oh oh no,

925
00:42:26.960 --> 00:42:28.480
<v Speaker 4>this is the reason. This is the reason. And you know,

926
00:42:28.519 --> 00:42:30.000
<v Speaker 4>I'm not a big fan of sports.

927
00:42:30.079 --> 00:42:32.840
<v Speaker 2>I watch them, I observe them, I take things away

928
00:42:32.840 --> 00:42:34.599
<v Speaker 2>from them, but I'm not a fan of any team

929
00:42:34.639 --> 00:42:36.039
<v Speaker 2>because how can you be loyal?

930
00:42:36.239 --> 00:42:37.599
<v Speaker 4>How can you be loyal to.

931
00:42:37.719 --> 00:42:40.239
<v Speaker 2>A team that your guys are going to be gone

932
00:42:40.280 --> 00:42:42.360
<v Speaker 2>somewhere else in a year or two and then you've

933
00:42:42.360 --> 00:42:43.920
<v Speaker 2>got to reach here, you know what I'm saying. Like

934
00:42:44.000 --> 00:42:45.360
<v Speaker 2>the Cows, I used to be a huge cab and

935
00:42:45.440 --> 00:42:47.360
<v Speaker 2>now free agency and all that stuff. You don't even

936
00:42:47.400 --> 00:42:50.800
<v Speaker 2>know the players without a program. Now now you've you've

937
00:42:50.880 --> 00:42:54.199
<v Speaker 2>invested money in IL for the last year or two. Right,

938
00:42:54.599 --> 00:42:58.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm not you, I'm second general public another gone, my money,

939
00:42:58.800 --> 00:42:59.679
<v Speaker 2>what the hell did I buy?

940
00:43:00.119 --> 00:43:02.360
<v Speaker 4>But it's you know, okay, So first off, I mean, one,

941
00:43:02.519 --> 00:43:03.480
<v Speaker 4>you're cheering the jersey.

942
00:43:03.679 --> 00:43:05.960
<v Speaker 3>Okay, certainly you're just get the question that asked at

943
00:43:05.960 --> 00:43:08.679
<v Speaker 3>the beginning to show you're in Arizona. You're an Arizona grad.

944
00:43:08.840 --> 00:43:11.760
<v Speaker 3>We're hearing Tucson go Wildcats bear down.

945
00:43:11.960 --> 00:43:12.239
<v Speaker 4>Okay.

946
00:43:13.480 --> 00:43:18.199
<v Speaker 3>Now you hope that Tommy is playing the game smartly

947
00:43:18.599 --> 00:43:22.360
<v Speaker 3>and he's saying, Okay, the star's gone, we got someone

948
00:43:22.400 --> 00:43:25.079
<v Speaker 3>else it's coming in. We've got we're gonna I'm putting

949
00:43:25.119 --> 00:43:28.079
<v Speaker 3>the pieces together. I'm recruiting this guy and bringing this

950
00:43:28.280 --> 00:43:30.599
<v Speaker 3>other guy in. So it's like, you just hope that

951
00:43:30.679 --> 00:43:35.440
<v Speaker 3>he's putting together the puzzle correctly and well so that

952
00:43:35.760 --> 00:43:39.400
<v Speaker 3>you get a team that he could then build into

953
00:43:39.440 --> 00:43:40.679
<v Speaker 3>a team that.

954
00:43:41.199 --> 00:43:44.280
<v Speaker 4>Goes out there and shines in the tournament. So you're

955
00:43:44.360 --> 00:43:46.280
<v Speaker 4>hold twenty four.

956
00:43:46.400 --> 00:43:49.000
<v Speaker 2>So when you're twenty five, guess what we're gonna be

957
00:43:49.039 --> 00:43:52.119
<v Speaker 2>talking about two days after the season's over. Yeah, same

958
00:43:52.239 --> 00:43:55.440
<v Speaker 2>damn thing, Same damn thing, mister Max, who committed to

959
00:43:55.480 --> 00:43:58.599
<v Speaker 2>the program roster Kate played twenty five to thirty minutes

960
00:43:58.639 --> 00:43:58.880
<v Speaker 2>a game.

961
00:43:59.320 --> 00:44:02.360
<v Speaker 3>He's unhappy he's in the portal. Yeah, Yeah, he's getting

962
00:44:02.360 --> 00:44:03.280
<v Speaker 3>more money somewhere else.

963
00:44:03.360 --> 00:44:05.679
<v Speaker 2>It's just one of those made you know, there's those

964
00:44:05.719 --> 00:44:07.599
<v Speaker 2>press releases you just have to fill in the name

965
00:44:07.960 --> 00:44:11.159
<v Speaker 2>of something. Sure Blank is gone, Uh yeah, blah blah

966
00:44:11.159 --> 00:44:13.119
<v Speaker 2>blah blah blah, Sure Bank has gone.

967
00:44:13.199 --> 00:44:14.679
<v Speaker 4>Someone else? Yeah, got someone else.

968
00:44:14.960 --> 00:44:16.800
<v Speaker 21>Do you think you see it more in basketball because

969
00:44:16.800 --> 00:44:18.920
<v Speaker 21>it's a smaller team, Like, I mean, you think about

970
00:44:18.960 --> 00:44:20.280
<v Speaker 21>the core that Brennan like, you.

971
00:44:20.320 --> 00:44:23.039
<v Speaker 4>Know, I think it more in basketball.

972
00:44:23.199 --> 00:44:24.599
<v Speaker 3>Okay, you know, you see I mean you see that

973
00:44:24.679 --> 00:44:27.000
<v Speaker 3>in the NBA, you get you get one draft choice,

974
00:44:27.039 --> 00:44:29.800
<v Speaker 3>it changes your team around completely, right, Okay, because you

975
00:44:29.920 --> 00:44:30.960
<v Speaker 3>got five people in the court.

976
00:44:31.400 --> 00:44:33.280
<v Speaker 4>You're not going to do that in football. Okay.

977
00:44:33.519 --> 00:44:36.079
<v Speaker 3>Uh And it's the same thing here. We we're gonna

978
00:44:36.119 --> 00:44:38.480
<v Speaker 3>lose people into the draft. We're gonna lose people into

979
00:44:38.519 --> 00:44:40.800
<v Speaker 3>the portal in football, and it's gonna be unfortunate.

980
00:44:41.079 --> 00:44:42.920
<v Speaker 4>But you can build. I think you can bring people

981
00:44:42.960 --> 00:44:45.840
<v Speaker 4>in and hopefully Brennan's doing that. We gotta we got to.

982
00:44:45.840 --> 00:44:48.119
<v Speaker 3>I think I heard fifty seven new people at at

983
00:44:48.199 --> 00:44:53.239
<v Speaker 3>practice now. But I think in basketball it's a little more,

984
00:44:53.599 --> 00:44:56.760
<v Speaker 3>a little more impactful, right, because there's so few spots

985
00:44:56.840 --> 00:44:59.880
<v Speaker 3>right spots because in football they leave three to thirtieth

986
00:45:00.079 --> 00:45:03.719
<v Speaker 3>time or twenty at a time. Look at the Colorado

987
00:45:03.760 --> 00:45:06.199
<v Speaker 3>Arizona one what's his name? Left the fish left and

988
00:45:06.320 --> 00:45:10.199
<v Speaker 3>he's losing guys. But the thing is that nobody finds

989
00:45:10.239 --> 00:45:14.639
<v Speaker 3>the right spot, like not in a sweet spot. Yeah,

990
00:45:14.760 --> 00:45:18.239
<v Speaker 3>because they don't have to. Hey, Mike, you know where

991
00:45:18.239 --> 00:45:19.559
<v Speaker 3>you're gonna go? How much you need?

992
00:45:19.840 --> 00:45:22.079
<v Speaker 4>Just gonna go somewhere else. I got it, Yeah, got

993
00:45:22.159 --> 00:45:24.079
<v Speaker 4>to go somewhere else. Are you happy? Are you happy?

994
00:45:24.119 --> 00:45:24.920
<v Speaker 4>Are you happy with her?

995
00:45:25.320 --> 00:45:25.360
<v Speaker 2>No?

996
00:45:25.559 --> 00:45:25.599
<v Speaker 1>No?

997
00:45:26.199 --> 00:45:27.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Well that's the thing. You know, It's like when

998
00:45:27.800 --> 00:45:30.119
<v Speaker 3>you hit you hit the portal find you know grass

999
00:45:30.320 --> 00:45:31.039
<v Speaker 3>grasshouse green?

1000
00:45:31.239 --> 00:45:34.119
<v Speaker 4>That uh that woman? Uh gosh darn it. Where did

1001
00:45:34.159 --> 00:45:37.960
<v Speaker 4>she play South Carolina? I think Carolina?

1002
00:45:38.039 --> 00:45:38.079
<v Speaker 1>No.

1003
00:45:38.960 --> 00:45:40.480
<v Speaker 3>They asked her if she was going to transfer, and

1004
00:45:40.559 --> 00:45:42.880
<v Speaker 3>she's like going, She's like they're like going, well, you

1005
00:45:42.920 --> 00:45:44.760
<v Speaker 3>know the grasshouse Green and he goes the grasshouse Green

1006
00:45:44.800 --> 00:45:45.480
<v Speaker 3>and where you water it?

1007
00:45:46.199 --> 00:45:46.360
<v Speaker 1>You know?

1008
00:45:46.480 --> 00:45:49.360
<v Speaker 4>Hey that you know that's great. You're dedicated. But I

1009
00:45:49.360 --> 00:45:50.320
<v Speaker 4>don't think you're going to get that.

1010
00:45:50.440 --> 00:45:52.000
<v Speaker 3>And you're not going to get that in the on

1011
00:45:52.079 --> 00:45:55.400
<v Speaker 3>the men's side, men'sid are gonna sit there and go see.

1012
00:45:55.239 --> 00:45:57.440
<v Speaker 2>You show Goodman. Goodman who I you know is a

1013
00:45:57.519 --> 00:45:59.480
<v Speaker 2>U A grad. I kind of read every now and again.

1014
00:45:59.840 --> 00:46:01.559
<v Speaker 2>UH have issues with how he covers the team, but

1015
00:46:01.760 --> 00:46:03.960
<v Speaker 2>he's pretty good at what he does. He kind of

1016
00:46:04.000 --> 00:46:06.440
<v Speaker 2>proposed I don't think of a flip about this, where

1017
00:46:06.599 --> 00:46:11.440
<v Speaker 2>if if Mike Quinn goes from team Team X not

1018
00:46:11.559 --> 00:46:14.360
<v Speaker 2>a mid major, I'm a mid major. I'm sorry, but

1019
00:46:14.440 --> 00:46:16.719
<v Speaker 2>he goes to a high major, that that high major

1020
00:46:16.760 --> 00:46:18.000
<v Speaker 2>has to pay the mid major off.

1021
00:46:22.000 --> 00:46:24.480
<v Speaker 4>It'll never happen. But and then see know what people said,

1022
00:46:24.880 --> 00:46:30.039
<v Speaker 4>that's hardly enough. That's hardly enough for coaches.

1023
00:46:29.920 --> 00:46:32.920
<v Speaker 3>Right, what you're gonna get now, we're gonna go to

1024
00:46:33.119 --> 00:46:36.480
<v Speaker 3>and Gino Orima said it. Uh said that said the

1025
00:46:36.559 --> 00:46:39.239
<v Speaker 3>quiet part out loud. We're gonna go to contracts. We're

1026
00:46:39.280 --> 00:46:42.400
<v Speaker 3>gonna sign contracts. We're gonna have collective bargaining agreements. We're

1027
00:46:42.440 --> 00:46:44.320
<v Speaker 3>gonna sit there and be like going, Okay, you've signed

1028
00:46:44.320 --> 00:46:45.920
<v Speaker 3>a contract for two years. You got to be here

1029
00:46:45.960 --> 00:46:47.679
<v Speaker 3>for two years. If you want to get out of

1030
00:46:47.719 --> 00:46:49.960
<v Speaker 3>the contract, you can buy out of the contract. Your

1031
00:46:50.039 --> 00:46:51.599
<v Speaker 3>new school is gonna have to buy you out of

1032
00:46:51.639 --> 00:46:52.239
<v Speaker 3>this contract.

1033
00:46:52.320 --> 00:46:52.679
<v Speaker 7>I like it.

1034
00:46:53.639 --> 00:46:56.800
<v Speaker 3>You can do something like that you know, you get

1035
00:46:56.880 --> 00:46:59.519
<v Speaker 3>recruited by mid major, you got to be at that

1036
00:46:59.599 --> 00:47:02.400
<v Speaker 3>mid major for two years. You sign that to year contract.

1037
00:47:02.880 --> 00:47:07.000
<v Speaker 3>But right now you can't keep somebody there and you

1038
00:47:07.039 --> 00:47:08.920
<v Speaker 3>won't be able to keep them there without a collective.

1039
00:47:09.079 --> 00:47:12.119
<v Speaker 3>So you can't just have a school say we're going

1040
00:47:12.199 --> 00:47:19.159
<v Speaker 3>to contracts because that's against like the ruling uses this.

1041
00:47:19.599 --> 00:47:21.800
<v Speaker 2>As a fan, as a fan who spends money there,

1042
00:47:22.440 --> 00:47:24.519
<v Speaker 2>does this bother you? I don't know what's going on.

1043
00:47:25.280 --> 00:47:27.800
<v Speaker 2>It's frustrating. It certainly is frustrating because, like you said,

1044
00:47:28.119 --> 00:47:30.599
<v Speaker 2>you would like to sit there and go, oh my gosh,

1045
00:47:31.000 --> 00:47:33.480
<v Speaker 2>look at this team. Next year, we're going to have

1046
00:47:33.800 --> 00:47:36.679
<v Speaker 2>these guys coming back, and then we've got these new

1047
00:47:36.760 --> 00:47:39.519
<v Speaker 2>recruits coming in and you're like, oh man, I'm all excited.

1048
00:47:39.800 --> 00:47:42.599
<v Speaker 2>And now it's like, man, there's no telling who's going

1049
00:47:42.639 --> 00:47:44.239
<v Speaker 2>to be on the team next year. We could be

1050
00:47:44.320 --> 00:47:47.159
<v Speaker 2>the bad news bears. We could be like really really good.

1051
00:47:47.519 --> 00:47:51.480
<v Speaker 2>But you have no idea. It bothers me to a degree,

1052
00:47:51.880 --> 00:47:54.039
<v Speaker 2>and I don't know why because I'm not a fan.

1053
00:47:54.159 --> 00:47:54.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm not a fan.

1054
00:47:54.719 --> 00:47:56.280
<v Speaker 4>I'm just here to write about it and talk about it.

1055
00:47:56.800 --> 00:47:57.679
<v Speaker 4>How much of an athlete?

1056
00:47:58.119 --> 00:48:01.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, think thank you well, but remind me tomorrow,

1057
00:48:01.280 --> 00:48:03.559
<v Speaker 2>are ready to bring my my my clips from that

1058
00:48:03.679 --> 00:48:04.679
<v Speaker 2>kind of exactly?

1059
00:48:08.199 --> 00:48:09.159
<v Speaker 4>This is probably.

1060
00:48:10.719 --> 00:48:15.199
<v Speaker 3>They eight millimeters, But I have.

1061
00:48:15.320 --> 00:48:19.960
<v Speaker 2>A story about you know, it bothers me. It bothers

1062
00:48:20.039 --> 00:48:23.280
<v Speaker 2>me that way says God. It's not that I long

1063
00:48:23.360 --> 00:48:26.400
<v Speaker 2>for the good old days. But it was much simpler. Well,

1064
00:48:26.440 --> 00:48:29.239
<v Speaker 2>it was much simpler, Okay, and it was It was cleaner,

1065
00:48:29.320 --> 00:48:31.840
<v Speaker 2>and it was funner. And you're gonna have Christian Lightner

1066
00:48:31.920 --> 00:48:33.760
<v Speaker 2>is gonna play four years of duke and you know

1067
00:48:33.960 --> 00:48:36.599
<v Speaker 2>you got that team that they're gonna build up. Talk

1068
00:48:36.639 --> 00:48:39.760
<v Speaker 2>about developing players. You know you're gonna be developing players.

1069
00:48:39.800 --> 00:48:41.159
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna be developing a program.

1070
00:48:41.840 --> 00:48:44.440
<v Speaker 3>Now. You know, you sit there and like, okay, hey,

1071
00:48:44.480 --> 00:48:47.719
<v Speaker 3>we're gonna go to the Bahamas. We had ten guys

1072
00:48:47.800 --> 00:48:50.719
<v Speaker 3>who've never seen each other, Barr, you know what it's

1073
00:48:50.760 --> 00:48:52.320
<v Speaker 3>like going We're gonna go to the Bahamas, and we're

1074
00:48:52.320 --> 00:48:55.119
<v Speaker 3>gonna bond together as a team. We're not gonna bond

1075
00:48:55.159 --> 00:48:57.519
<v Speaker 3>together as a team. We're gonna change We're gonna just

1076
00:48:57.679 --> 00:49:01.159
<v Speaker 3>change names. What's your name again? It's yeah, because we

1077
00:49:01.199 --> 00:49:03.599
<v Speaker 3>don't know each other. So it's not surprising that we

1078
00:49:03.719 --> 00:49:05.719
<v Speaker 3>go into the Bahamas and get our butts kicked by

1079
00:49:06.280 --> 00:49:07.039
<v Speaker 3>Dayton or something.

1080
00:49:07.039 --> 00:49:08.960
<v Speaker 2>Well to your point, Mike, and I think it's noble.

1081
00:49:09.000 --> 00:49:10.239
<v Speaker 2>And I think a lot of people are like you.

1082
00:49:10.519 --> 00:49:12.360
<v Speaker 2>They go to cheer the name on the back, and

1083
00:49:12.400 --> 00:49:15.559
<v Speaker 2>it's well on the front. Actually, Yeah, And that's what

1084
00:49:15.719 --> 00:49:18.519
<v Speaker 2>fills up McHale. No matter who comes in, they're gonna

1085
00:49:18.559 --> 00:49:21.840
<v Speaker 2>be there. If they're really good, they'll be there more right, absolutely.

1086
00:49:22.199 --> 00:49:24.599
<v Speaker 2>But if they're not, if they're not winning, they're gonna

1087
00:49:24.599 --> 00:49:25.159
<v Speaker 2>be there more.

1088
00:49:26.119 --> 00:49:26.159
<v Speaker 5>No.

1089
00:49:26.440 --> 00:49:27.960
<v Speaker 3>But that's the thing about it. That's why you bring

1090
00:49:28.039 --> 00:49:29.880
<v Speaker 3>in a guy like Tommy Lloyd. I mean, you rely

1091
00:49:30.039 --> 00:49:32.679
<v Speaker 3>on Tommy Lloyd to be the guy that is going

1092
00:49:32.760 --> 00:49:34.119
<v Speaker 3>to be the recruiter that is going to bring in

1093
00:49:34.119 --> 00:49:35.880
<v Speaker 3>the good players. You got the guy that's going to

1094
00:49:36.039 --> 00:49:39.440
<v Speaker 3>understand how the pieces fit together. You got someone that's

1095
00:49:39.440 --> 00:49:40.320
<v Speaker 3>gonna develop the team.

1096
00:49:41.119 --> 00:49:41.239
<v Speaker 7>Uh.

1097
00:49:41.800 --> 00:49:44.480
<v Speaker 3>I think that that's that's why you bring that guy in.

1098
00:49:44.639 --> 00:49:47.519
<v Speaker 3>You get the got you got the you know KLi Paris,

1099
00:49:47.679 --> 00:49:50.039
<v Speaker 3>you know that they're in Patinos. Those guys are going

1100
00:49:50.079 --> 00:49:52.559
<v Speaker 3>to be doing that all the time. Uh Izzo. I mean,

1101
00:49:52.679 --> 00:49:55.480
<v Speaker 3>he's he's got this. There's people that have this stuff

1102
00:49:55.519 --> 00:49:58.159
<v Speaker 3>figured out. Yeah, Well, they have to, and they have money,

1103
00:49:58.199 --> 00:50:03.280
<v Speaker 3>they have backing. Imagine in the tiers of basketball college basketball, specifically,

1104
00:50:03.679 --> 00:50:06.599
<v Speaker 3>uh Arizona's in the probably top twenty five, but not

1105
00:50:06.719 --> 00:50:07.519
<v Speaker 3>in the top twelve.

1106
00:50:08.159 --> 00:50:10.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure not in the top twelve. And and look

1107
00:50:10.599 --> 00:50:13.000
<v Speaker 2>at the issues that they're going through. Imagine, if you're

1108
00:50:13.039 --> 00:50:16.360
<v Speaker 2>a Colorado state, you're you're Colorado, You're the you're the

1109
00:50:16.880 --> 00:50:20.599
<v Speaker 2>non twenty five, right, you can't compete with the twenty five.

1110
00:50:20.719 --> 00:50:22.119
<v Speaker 4>You can't. You can't compete.

1111
00:50:22.119 --> 00:50:25.079
<v Speaker 2>And if you're fearing to get into the you're you're

1112
00:50:25.239 --> 00:50:27.519
<v Speaker 2>leveled up at fifty. Yeah, because you ain't gonna get

1113
00:50:27.559 --> 00:50:30.280
<v Speaker 2>into the forties, right, You're not gonna find that right. Well,

1114
00:50:30.360 --> 00:50:33.719
<v Speaker 2>like like Rutgers, Rutgers got that guy you just declared

1115
00:50:33.719 --> 00:50:35.440
<v Speaker 2>for the draft. You know he's gonna be looking at

1116
00:50:35.840 --> 00:50:39.840
<v Speaker 2>the number two in the draft, and Rutgers was a yeah,

1117
00:50:40.119 --> 00:50:43.519
<v Speaker 2>media there, yeah, yeah, you know, uh, you know, Maryland

1118
00:50:43.559 --> 00:50:45.039
<v Speaker 2>had a good run this year, and of course their

1119
00:50:45.440 --> 00:50:48.079
<v Speaker 2>coach bailed on them, but uh uh, they had a

1120
00:50:48.119 --> 00:50:50.519
<v Speaker 2>good run this year. But are they going to continue

1121
00:50:50.519 --> 00:50:51.159
<v Speaker 2>to have a good run?

1122
00:50:51.280 --> 00:50:52.199
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? Probably not.

1123
00:50:52.639 --> 00:50:56.079
<v Speaker 21>Yeah, you know yet a couple of minutes, Okay, yeah,

1124
00:50:56.199 --> 00:50:57.719
<v Speaker 21>do you think it's gonna come to a point where

1125
00:50:57.760 --> 00:50:59.719
<v Speaker 21>a coach in name matters more than like the brand

1126
00:51:00.119 --> 00:51:00.760
<v Speaker 21>or like the place.

1127
00:51:02.599 --> 00:51:04.039
<v Speaker 2>I don't, I don't, I don't think so, but it

1128
00:51:04.119 --> 00:51:07.880
<v Speaker 2>helps the brand. It's like the Patino, Yeah, rich like

1129
00:51:08.199 --> 00:51:09.960
<v Speaker 2>Richie going where is it going down to Xavier?

1130
00:51:10.360 --> 00:51:11.079
<v Speaker 4>He'll help them.

1131
00:51:11.199 --> 00:51:13.239
<v Speaker 2>You know, everybody loves Sean there because he was like,

1132
00:51:13.320 --> 00:51:16.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, their kid, their best kid who left.

1133
00:51:16.840 --> 00:51:18.599
<v Speaker 4>But Patino's name is gonna.

1134
00:51:19.079 --> 00:51:22.360
<v Speaker 3>I thought his name, well, well, Patino's got a reputations

1135
00:51:22.440 --> 00:51:24.639
<v Speaker 3>like I'll prepare you for the NBA. Well he's that's

1136
00:51:24.719 --> 00:51:27.280
<v Speaker 3>what he's a dad or the son I'm talking about

1137
00:51:27.280 --> 00:51:30.480
<v Speaker 3>the dad the same yeah, son, probably the same way.

1138
00:51:30.519 --> 00:51:30.840
<v Speaker 4>I think that.

1139
00:51:31.000 --> 00:51:33.960
<v Speaker 3>You know, the thing that they're looking for is that

1140
00:51:34.000 --> 00:51:36.239
<v Speaker 3>they're looking for the nil money now and they're looking

1141
00:51:36.280 --> 00:51:36.920
<v Speaker 3>for the NBA.

1142
00:51:37.039 --> 00:51:38.800
<v Speaker 4>Do you a favorite? How much time do we actually have?

1143
00:51:40.360 --> 00:51:42.800
<v Speaker 2>Okay, google on the other side, we're going to google this,

1144
00:51:43.360 --> 00:51:47.440
<v Speaker 2>uh Donovan Dent and maybe nil money because I heard

1145
00:51:47.519 --> 00:51:49.679
<v Speaker 2>on another show I didn't get the number because I

1146
00:51:50.000 --> 00:51:51.760
<v Speaker 2>just missed it, and how much he was going to

1147
00:51:51.840 --> 00:51:52.840
<v Speaker 2>get by going to U C.

1148
00:51:53.039 --> 00:51:53.199
<v Speaker 7>L A.

00:51:54.079 --> 00:51:56.159
<v Speaker 4>You know, and are these kids are gonna go save

1150
00:51:56.239 --> 00:52:00.159
<v Speaker 4>programs right right. Really, they don't look. I don't think

1151
00:52:00.239 --> 00:52:01.719
<v Speaker 4>they care about where they go.

1152
00:52:02.559 --> 00:52:05.320

1154
00:52:07.599 --> 00:52:10.199
