It was kind of a rough, 42 00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:43.799 a rough look to go through that. 43 00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:46.280 Who did I can ask you this, whatever I said, 44 00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:51.040 who's your toughest interview and situation?

I can't remember who the 293 00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:30.200 other Patinos won, Bobby Knight, Calipari, and there was two 294 00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:31.879 more on.

We didn't talk 297 00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:41.360 about this, but in the Big twelve, who would you 298 00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:41.879 have picked? 299 00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:42.960 Yeah? 300 00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:46.159 He was a fantastic player, fantastic player this year, former 301 00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:49.039 New mexicool guy. But he's only pid picked to maybe 302 00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:52.440 finish in the top twenty twenty five of the NBA. 303 00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:54.639 And he's talented as all hell. 304 00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:55.360 How big is he? 305 00:12:56.519 --> 00:13:01.519 Six eightish? I think wiery very talent had left handed. Oh, 306 00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:03.399 by the way, anybody, I don't know if you guys 307 00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:06.000 have listened to this. I played this for Dave earlier. 308 00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:11.799 There's a song out publicly, I guess, on YouTube by somebody. 309 00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:13.159 I don't know who it is. Someone sent it to 310 00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:15.919 me earlier today, and it's pretty funny. It talks about 311 00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:19.759 this this year's team that's not kind to this year's team, 312 00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:23.279 and it's kind of in the way of our song 313 00:13:23.399 --> 00:13:26.799 from many years ago, Wild about the Cats. It's it's 314 00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:30.559 almost like a bummed about the Cats. It's a minute long. 315 00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:35.000 If you maybe google it ante it's a minute and 316 00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:38.159 if you want to google it, google it. There's no 317 00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:41.600 title to it, just kind of maybe song on Arizona basketball. 318 00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:42.759 It's on YouTube. 319 00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:45.799 People definitely have their feelings, that's for sure, and they 320 00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:47.759 have their opinions, and this guy put her down. 321 00:13:47.799 --> 00:13:50.759 In music forms. Right. It's a little bit a little 322 00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:53.080 bit risky for us to play here on the air. 323 00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:56.480 Right right, too risky for us to play, but interesting. Nonetheless, 324 00:13:57.159 --> 00:13:59.279 anything else that we got to do before we gotta go, 325 00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:02.600 you gotta we got to go for a long time. 326 00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:07.440 I don't know, Asu getting getting beat already nine to 327 00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:08.600 one early on. 328 00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:10.519 I think we talked about this the number times. Do 329 00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:12.440 you think this is it for him? This could be 330 00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:14.000 his last game. I think it's gonna be. 331 00:14:14.039 --> 00:14:16.600 I mean, they just find the women's the women's coach 332 00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:18.759 after she was only there a couple of years, three years. 333 00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:20.600 Maybe let me ask you dumb question. So you've been 334 00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:21.919 in the business a long time.

They 343 00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:48.399 want their own guys. 344 00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:52.480 Right, in those years, they really weren't messing around too 345 00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:56.480 much with talent like me.

I have to make a living, dude, 368 00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:50.320 I think. 369 00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:52.879 Yeah, you know this lifeline as you I had to 370 00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:54.600 play the role of Bruce Pasco today. 371 00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:55.159 Oh goodness. 372 00:15:55.159 --> 00:15:59.279 So that said, I was gonna say, who had the 373 00:15:59.320 --> 00:16:01.159 world with all the just know about the fans? So 374 00:16:01.159 --> 00:16:02.120 I'm kissing you did. 375 00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:03.519 No. 376 00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:06.919 It was ask though, and he gave up a pretty 377 00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:10.440 lengthy answer, and it was kind of what I suspected 378 00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:14.879 that it was more about the atmosphere, yeh, the game 379 00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:18.279 day atmosphere at McHale Center, as opposed to the fans. 380 00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:20.559 I don't think the fans are an issue. I think 381 00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:23.399 it's that nothing is expected of them to do anything 382 00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:27.000 other than to come to the games, and that just 383 00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:31.679 it leads to a you know, create your own energy 384 00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:34.960 type of environment. And you know, if you sink back, 385 00:16:35.039 --> 00:16:37.559 for all the years that we've gone to games, the 386 00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:41.960 atmosphere used to be a lot more involved, whether it 387 00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:46.000 be rest in peace, the ooh ah man or those 388 00:16:46.159 --> 00:16:49.840 three fans dressed as blind referees walking through the crowd, 389 00:16:50.600 --> 00:16:55.679 or different u of a chance. Aside from the stand 390 00:16:55.759 --> 00:16:57.639 up at the beginning of each half until the opponent 391 00:16:57.720 --> 00:17:01.759 scores and the occasional nice shot buddy from the student section, 392 00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:05.240 there really isn't much in terms of like organized things 393 00:17:05.319 --> 00:17:07.960 during the game. And I think he was noting just 394 00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:12.319 how involved everything was at Iowa State and Kansas and 395 00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:15.319 that that's not what he's seen there. And it's not 396 00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:18.119 that Arizona is terrible, but that it can be better, 397 00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:21.079 and now he's seen how it can be better, and 398 00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:23.599 he'd like it to be better. I think the fact 399 00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:26.319 that that's how he started his press conference, but that 400 00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:29.079 was also the first question that was asked, comes off 401 00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:31.759
