00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:31.919
<v Speaker 3>have I don't want to step on your toes to

79
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:37.039
<v Speaker 3>breaking news stuff. People coming and going with the portal, football, basketball,

82
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:47.960
<v Speaker 3>can tease it, but don't talk about it because then

83
00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:50.639
<v Speaker 3>you run out of stuff. We're just waiting for Blake

84
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:53.639
<v Speaker 3>to to bs. I talked a little yesterday about the

85
00:03:53.719 --> 00:04:01.039
<v Speaker 3>Garment Garman Marathons coming here in November, so Blake knows

86
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:03.639
<v Speaker 3>a little bit more about that too, given his situation

87
00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:09.879
<v Speaker 3>with the travel and and the tourism business, to talk

88
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:12.599
<v Speaker 3>more about that, and things are looking up. I think

89
00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:16.399
<v Speaker 3>we'll know soon enough. Friday is a final day of

90
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:20.160
<v Speaker 3>portal closure, right, comings and goings. They got someone today

91
00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:24.439
<v Speaker 3>just recently, and I don't think anybody else besides the

92
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:29.680
<v Speaker 3>three that we mentioned yesterday going leaving Arizona. But there

93
00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:34.040
<v Speaker 3>was an interesting thing on OK on one of those

94
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:37.839
<v Speaker 3>things that last year, I have to go all away

95
00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:40.279
<v Speaker 3>for Blake because it'll be a better discussion with him

96
00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:45.279
<v Speaker 3>about people transferring and how many people what the percentage

97
00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:50.879
<v Speaker 3>was where people left and each school had in terms

98
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:54.639
<v Speaker 3>of like say you stay with Arizona and only forty

99
00:04:55.360 --> 00:05:02.360
<v Speaker 3>of the people who stayed played, so from outside took

100
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:04.639
<v Speaker 3>up at fifty eight sixty eight sixty percent of the

101
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:05.160
<v Speaker 3>playing time.

102
00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:06.920
<v Speaker 2>Right, Yeah, so if you go to Albuquerque or you.

103
00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:09.000
<v Speaker 3>Go to New Mexico, you're one of the guys they

104
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:11.439
<v Speaker 3>want to be playing, not the guys that were staying there.

105
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:13.079
<v Speaker 5>Well, I mean you gotta assume too that it's like

106
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:15.040
<v Speaker 5>if they want you to go after you in the portal,

107
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:17.839
<v Speaker 5>it's like you're probably a little better, right, you know,

108
00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:20.199
<v Speaker 5>you have something more different that you can offer to

109
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:22.199
<v Speaker 5>the team, sure, compared to the guys who've been there

110
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:23.040
<v Speaker 5>who haven't played before.

111
00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:24.279
<v Speaker 3>There was a book that I've said this in a

112
00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:26.519
<v Speaker 3>couple on the show a couple of times, called Sway

113
00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:29.959
<v Speaker 3>a really good book about so if I invested half

114
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:33.560
<v Speaker 3>a million dollars in Ray to come to play and

115
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:37.680
<v Speaker 3>he turns out to be mediocre. You're gonna damn play

116
00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:39.480
<v Speaker 3>the guy because you spend a half a million dollars

117
00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:42.800
<v Speaker 3>to prove that you're right, right until you can't anymore right,

118
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:45.839
<v Speaker 3>because you spent a lot of money and you brought

119
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:48.680
<v Speaker 3>him here. You better be making you better make smart

120
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:51.680
<v Speaker 3>decisions for sure, until you proven otherwise.

121
00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:54.600
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, And I feel like more professional leagues are a

122
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:56.560
<v Speaker 5>bit more kind of like political like that. I don't

123
00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:59.439
<v Speaker 5>think we've seen it too much yet in terms of

124
00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:02.439
<v Speaker 5>college sports, but I mean, you know, yeah, futures coming eventually,

125
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:04.399
<v Speaker 5>so I s see where that's sure.

126
00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:07.319
<v Speaker 3>And you're right though in basketball or football, if you're

127
00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:09.399
<v Speaker 3>not good enough, you're just not good enough, and then

128
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:13.680
<v Speaker 3>money at that point doesn't really matter for sure. Yeah, Blake, Hey, guys,

129
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:15.560
<v Speaker 3>after the show, you gotta run about twenty laps?

130
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:17.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's not gonna happen. Can I just gripe a

131
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:18.199
<v Speaker 2>little bit?

132
00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:18.399
<v Speaker 5>Though?

133
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:20.720
<v Speaker 2>Like there is what's the easiest way to get here

134
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:21.439
<v Speaker 2>from downtown?

135
00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:25.839
<v Speaker 3>I would say twenty second or Broadway East to Swan

136
00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:28.680
<v Speaker 3>and North. Yeah it's miserable out there, of course. Yeah,

137
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:31.839
<v Speaker 3>well it's still it's still the snowbird season. Yeah, you

138
00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:35.079
<v Speaker 3>always complain about that. I ran off the road by Mercedes.

139
00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:36.879
<v Speaker 2>What do you be always complained about?

140
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:38.759
<v Speaker 3>You asked me a question and then you could you

141
00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:40.600
<v Speaker 3>want you can't handle the truth.

142
00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:42.040
<v Speaker 2>I will definitely go Jack.

143
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:44.879
<v Speaker 3>Nicole said on you you can't handle the truth.

144
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:46.480
<v Speaker 2>You ask me a question, don't like my answer.

145
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:47.040
<v Speaker 3>Guess what?

146
00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:48.399
<v Speaker 2>Stop asking me questions.

147
00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:51.480
<v Speaker 3>It's true. That's a good point. So Mercedes. Oh, they

148
00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:53.560
<v Speaker 3>twenty people. She was just a little older.

149
00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:56.279
<v Speaker 2>She was taking up about a quarter of my lane

150
00:06:56.319 --> 00:06:58.480
<v Speaker 2>and decided to be half of my lane. Then she

151
00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:00.079
<v Speaker 2>went back in her lane and she was like, this

152
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:02.600
<v Speaker 2>lane is not nice enough. Really like that lane. She

153
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:05.040
<v Speaker 2>kept just trying out my lane, but she never fully committed.

154
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:07.480
<v Speaker 2>Didn't you know who he is? Don't you know who

155
00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:07.839
<v Speaker 2>he is?

156
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:10.959
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? That line works all the time, right, Yeah, it

157
00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:13.319
<v Speaker 3>just gets you more embarrassed. Really, what's going on? You

158
00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:13.839
<v Speaker 3>try to get us?

159
00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:14.160
<v Speaker 2>Garman?

160
00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:15.480
<v Speaker 3>We had him on the show yesterday. He was a

161
00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:15.920
<v Speaker 3>good dude.

162
00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:20.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we're working. We're working really hard on it. Really excited. Uh,

163
00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:22.800
<v Speaker 2>they're looking to do the marathon in November. But to

164
00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:24.680
<v Speaker 2>be able to have a you know, an organization like

165
00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:28.519
<v Speaker 2>Garman in our our backyard running a marathon. It's going

166
00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:31.319
<v Speaker 2>to be downtown course. I think the course looks Amay,

167
00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:33.639
<v Speaker 2>what do you mean by that downtown? Of course, you've

168
00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:36.199
<v Speaker 2>got twenty six miles of this. Yeah, they they haven't

169
00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:36.720
<v Speaker 2>mapped out.

170
00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:40.120
<v Speaker 3>It's like, well he said he didn't want to go there. Yeah,

171
00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:42.839
<v Speaker 3>he didn't tell us. Well it's not official. Yes, I

172
00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:45.040
<v Speaker 3>just shared too much, right, Well you said just down.

173
00:07:45.160 --> 00:07:47.160
<v Speaker 3>Well he told us we're going to start it downtown. Yeah,

174
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:50.360
<v Speaker 3>it's gonna be it. It's going to incorporate downtown. Yeah, yeah,

175
00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:53.199
<v Speaker 3>yeah he said that. Yeah, so he'll let us know later.

176
00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:55.360
<v Speaker 3>What's going to look like. I know what we go

177
00:07:55.399 --> 00:07:57.319
<v Speaker 3>through at El Tour. I mean we kind of peel

178
00:07:57.319 --> 00:07:59.079
<v Speaker 3>a lot of people because we're on the roads and

179
00:07:59.120 --> 00:07:59.959
<v Speaker 3>they have to stop travel.

180
00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:02.279
<v Speaker 2>So I was thinking about this in the meeting one

181
00:08:02.279 --> 00:08:03.959
<v Speaker 2>of the meetings today that I had, and I wanted

182
00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:06.040
<v Speaker 2>to have this conversation with you and with Ray because

183
00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:09.879
<v Speaker 2>of his age. We have to disrupt our life for

184
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:13.480
<v Speaker 2>a couple hours once a year, right to be able

185
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:16.839
<v Speaker 2>to have the ability. I mean, El Tours humongous garment,

186
00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:22.519
<v Speaker 2>this international brand, right is humongous. Do we really should

187
00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:25.399
<v Speaker 2>we really be getting upset with that? You're talking about

188
00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:28.959
<v Speaker 2>the people. The people are locals, Like, hey, I listen,

189
00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:30.639
<v Speaker 2>I used to be the same way, going to work

190
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:33.440
<v Speaker 2>in El tour, I'd be like the son of a Right.

191
00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:35.279
<v Speaker 2>But I mean if you step back and you go,

192
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:37.360
<v Speaker 2>this is incredible that it's happening here.

193
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:40.080
<v Speaker 3>It's one day out of the year and it's only

194
00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:42.559
<v Speaker 3>for a few hours. Only for a few hours, right,

195
00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:46.360
<v Speaker 3>So I just I that's a question. I don't should

196
00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:51.120
<v Speaker 3>we be getting upset with that? No, but they do,

197
00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:53.919
<v Speaker 3>and we try to make here's the issue, here's the issue.

198
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:56.840
<v Speaker 3>So in my role, I'll tour and I'm sure you'll

199
00:08:56.919 --> 00:08:59.600
<v Speaker 3>be a role over there with the garment. We let

200
00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:02.320
<v Speaker 3>them know the places are going to be shut down

201
00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:06.039
<v Speaker 3>or delayed or whatever. We do this maybe two months

202
00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:08.360
<v Speaker 3>in advance, and then we do it a month in events,

203
00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:09.840
<v Speaker 3>and then we do it right before the race.

204
00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:13.000
<v Speaker 2>And people, oh, I didn't see it or I didn't

205
00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:14.799
<v Speaker 2>see it because.

206
00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:16.840
<v Speaker 3>They're not looking one and they we have it at

207
00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:18.720
<v Speaker 3>the same time every year for last forty two years.

208
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:20.480
<v Speaker 3>They don't see it. They don't know, they don't see it.

209
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:21.639
<v Speaker 3>So what are you looking at?

210
00:09:21.679 --> 00:09:22.679
<v Speaker 2>TV? Not TV?

211
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:25.000
<v Speaker 3>We put it everywhere everywhere you can see it websites

212
00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:27.399
<v Speaker 3>like yeah, yeah, and we didn't see it. We didn't know.

213
00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:30.320
<v Speaker 3>That's is that our We we do as much as

214
00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:31.720
<v Speaker 3>we can, and you're gonna have to do the same

215
00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:33.240
<v Speaker 3>thing for this for this event.

216
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:36.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean that's you know, it's we're not taking

217
00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:38.080
<v Speaker 2>the driver's seat like we did in the World Baseball

218
00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:40.039
<v Speaker 2>Class by any means. We just want to be a

219
00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:42.759
<v Speaker 2>good partner. That's what we're here for. But it kind

220
00:09:42.759 --> 00:09:44.279
<v Speaker 2>of brings us back to the last topic I think

221
00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:46.320
<v Speaker 2>we spoke about last week, the three of us with

222
00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:50.679
<v Speaker 2>one was do we have a centralized Uh do we

223
00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:52.840
<v Speaker 2>have something that centralized that people can go on and

224
00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:53.639
<v Speaker 2>find out information?

225
00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:53.879
<v Speaker 7>Right?

226
00:09:53.919 --> 00:09:57.320
<v Speaker 3>No? And that's I think that do you know the

227
00:09:57.360 --> 00:09:59.200
<v Speaker 3>answer are you asking? I know, I don't think there

228
00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:01.840
<v Speaker 3>is right is it? Is it visit Tucson? Is it

229
00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:04.679
<v Speaker 3>you know, city of Tucson, what is it? Pema County? Like?

230
00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:07.279
<v Speaker 2>But there should be something where people are like, Okay,

231
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:09.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm getting some kind of source of.

232
00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:12.360
<v Speaker 3>Little Danny notebook from the stuff that we talked about.

233
00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:15.320
<v Speaker 3>I already forgot what we talked about last week, you

234
00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:17.679
<v Speaker 3>know for a project. This is another one of those

235
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:21.360
<v Speaker 3>Maybe that's how things like this are started. Yeah, I

236
00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:21.840
<v Speaker 3>think it is.

237
00:10:21.879 --> 00:10:23.360
<v Speaker 2>I think there's a I mean, you're looking at other

238
00:10:23.399 --> 00:10:25.799
<v Speaker 2>cities our size, right, and we are a city, whether

239
00:10:25.840 --> 00:10:28.399
<v Speaker 2>we like to admit it or not. I feel like

240
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:31.000
<v Speaker 2>they have maybe a little bit better grasp and understanding

241
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:33.559
<v Speaker 2>on how to promote the events or things that are

242
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:35.279
<v Speaker 2>going on. And this goes for locals, right, I mean

243
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:38.080
<v Speaker 2>we're talking about you know, international events that are happening,

244
00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:40.559
<v Speaker 2>but local things that are happening, whether it's a fourth

245
00:10:40.600 --> 00:10:43.399
<v Speaker 2>happening street fair, whether it's I don't know, throw something

246
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:44.759
<v Speaker 2>out there.

247
00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:46.879
<v Speaker 3>I don't. I don't.

248
00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:48.559
<v Speaker 2>I used to get it in the Tucson Weekly, right,

249
00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:49.240
<v Speaker 2>and I don't get that.

250
00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:51.440
<v Speaker 3>I don't get that. Yeah, but yes, exactly another source

251
00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:52.279
<v Speaker 3>that nobody reads.

252
00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:55.320
<v Speaker 2>Now, Yeah, I mean it's apology equated, whatever you want

253
00:10:55.320 --> 00:10:59.039
<v Speaker 2>to say. I still enjoy reading. So but there's got

254
00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:01.039
<v Speaker 2>to be a way. Like the technologies that we have,

255
00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:03.919
<v Speaker 2>we're all walking around with supercomputers in our pocket.

256
00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:06.120
<v Speaker 3>Sure, but you know what, a lot of the people

257
00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:09.240
<v Speaker 3>who complain and I'm sorry, I apologized now are older

258
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:11.679
<v Speaker 3>like me and maybe not you so much, but and

259
00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:13.159
<v Speaker 3>they're not on their phones.

260
00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:15.200
<v Speaker 2>Like yeah, I mean I can complain with the best

261
00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:18.200
<v Speaker 2>of them. But yeah, you might be right, but maybe

262
00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:20.480
<v Speaker 2>there's two. Maybe there's two or three forms, but they're

263
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:23.240
<v Speaker 2>all going back to one thing, right, that we have

264
00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:24.320
<v Speaker 2>one centralized hub.

265
00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:27.000
<v Speaker 3>I like that idea. What were the things we were

266
00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:28.679
<v Speaker 3>talking about last week? You don't, well, I have to

267
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:30.960
<v Speaker 3>go on the shows and review the show.

268
00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:32.639
<v Speaker 2>No, we were I think what we were talking about,

269
00:11:32.639 --> 00:11:35.000
<v Speaker 2>because who do we have on last week?

270
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:36.639
<v Speaker 3>Was it? Maybe? Was it?

271
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:37.159
<v Speaker 8>Now?

272
00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:39.399
<v Speaker 2>It was before Kim who was on Wednesday? Last week?

273
00:11:40.840 --> 00:11:43.159
<v Speaker 2>That was Thursday? Okay, we'd have to go anyway. It

274
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:45.840
<v Speaker 2>was something happening, and we were talking about like with

275
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:48.679
<v Speaker 2>the World Baseball Classic, right where I run into people

276
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:50.399
<v Speaker 2>and they're like, well, I didn't know anything about it.

277
00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:52.960
<v Speaker 3>It's like I don't know who, I don't know what

278
00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:55.120
<v Speaker 3>they I hear that about everything though, right, I didn't

279
00:11:55.159 --> 00:11:56.759
<v Speaker 3>know anything about that. I didn't know about that.

280
00:11:57.279 --> 00:11:59.080
<v Speaker 2>Where are we? Where's the disconnect? Right?

281
00:11:59.159 --> 00:12:01.600
<v Speaker 3>Right? No? No, no, And that's the fine. We're not

282
00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:03.879
<v Speaker 3>going to please everybody or make you really happy. Because

283
00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:07.080
<v Speaker 3>everyone gets her news sources or from different places, whether

284
00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:13.480
<v Speaker 3>it's Facebook, Twitter, newspaper, TV, or whatever, or not at all.

285
00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:15.799
<v Speaker 3>And it may be the sign of the times, of

286
00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:16.799
<v Speaker 3>the times we live in.

287
00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:19.879
<v Speaker 2>I was thinking about, you know, we all kind of

288
00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:22.840
<v Speaker 2>get the mass text messages, whether it's during campaign season

289
00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:26.879
<v Speaker 2>or I got one today that was for It's the

290
00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:29.200
<v Speaker 2>first time I've got. Was like, Hey, we're in your

291
00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:31.080
<v Speaker 2>neighborhood redoing somebody's cabinets.

292
00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:33.279
<v Speaker 3>Can we stop by and do it? And like, yeah,

293
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:38.000
<v Speaker 3>what no, But maybe it's a mass texts start with

294
00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:40.320
<v Speaker 3>everybody with a five too oh number or you g

295
00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:42.639
<v Speaker 3>o fence it, and then people can opt out of that.

296
00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:44.759
<v Speaker 3>I don't know who knows. By the way, do you

297
00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:48.120
<v Speaker 3>need solar? I'll send you my text. How about that

298
00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:51.879
<v Speaker 3>car repair? I get a roofing call. I don't four

299
00:12:51.919 --> 00:12:53.919
<v Speaker 3>times a day. I don't know how many roofing companies

300

00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:07.720
<v Speaker 15>And our players enjoyed every minute of it, even though

451
00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:10.880
<v Speaker 15>going into it, you know, we were a little sad

452
00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:12.720
<v Speaker 15>and by the fact that we didn't make it to

453
00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:15.640
<v Speaker 15>the NCAA tournament. But once I let the girls know,

454
00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:17.839
<v Speaker 15>let's go out there and be the sixty fifth.

455
00:20:17.599 --> 00:20:20.039
<v Speaker 14>Best team in the nation, and they bought in and

456
00:20:20.079 --> 00:20:21.400
<v Speaker 14>we did it and it was awesome.

457
00:20:21.759 --> 00:20:25.519
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, no question. I think the crowd reflected that, right.

458
00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:27.720
<v Speaker 3>You had some people in the stands and it gives

459
00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:30.039
<v Speaker 3>you I hate to use this word, momentum, but it

460
00:20:30.039 --> 00:20:31.720
<v Speaker 3>gives you a nice run into next year.

461
00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:35.759
<v Speaker 15>Yes, it was because I was on the radio. You know,

462
00:20:35.799 --> 00:20:37.920
<v Speaker 15>I got a chance to talk and tell people about.

463
00:20:38.200 --> 00:20:40.759
<v Speaker 14>Everything that we're doing and why is the fun sport

464
00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:43.359
<v Speaker 14>to come out and watch, and the support and you know,

465
00:20:43.519 --> 00:20:44.759
<v Speaker 14>just being able to have it.

466
00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:46.640
<v Speaker 15>Was a ton of basketball.

467
00:20:46.079 --> 00:20:47.559
<v Speaker 14>Fans there, which was really.

468
00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:49.960
<v Speaker 15>Cool, and so just educating them a little bit on.

469
00:20:49.880 --> 00:20:50.799
<v Speaker 14>The sport was fun.

470
00:20:51.319 --> 00:20:53.680
<v Speaker 3>You're always welcome on the show. You're checks in the mail,

471
00:20:53.720 --> 00:20:55.200
<v Speaker 3>by the way, thanks for seeing that.

472
00:20:55.440 --> 00:20:56.079
<v Speaker 15>Thank you, thank you.

473
00:20:57.359 --> 00:20:59.960
<v Speaker 3>So now what you get ready? I'm sure you guess

474
00:21:00.039 --> 00:21:02.000
<v Speaker 3>already practicing or what's the schedule like?

475
00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:04.920
<v Speaker 14>So we had our spring season.

476
00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:08.440
<v Speaker 15>We actually concluded our practices yesterday. We still have some

477
00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:11.119
<v Speaker 15>lifting to do for the next couple of days. But

478
00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:14.279
<v Speaker 15>we had a tremendous spring season. We had four weekends

479
00:21:14.319 --> 00:21:17.720
<v Speaker 15>of competition. And the spring is different than the fall

480
00:21:17.799 --> 00:21:20.359
<v Speaker 15>in the sense that we're not allowed to travel by plane.

481
00:21:20.599 --> 00:21:21.880
<v Speaker 3>That's the nc double A rules.

482
00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:23.240
<v Speaker 14>So we take a bus.

483
00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:24.480
<v Speaker 15>We'll leave Friday.

484
00:21:24.119 --> 00:21:26.440
<v Speaker 14>After everyone's out of class. We'll drive to.

485
00:21:27.240 --> 00:21:29.640
<v Speaker 15>San Diego or Utaps where.

486
00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:31.599
<v Speaker 14>We went this year, and up to ASU.

487
00:21:31.279 --> 00:21:33.720
<v Speaker 15>And then we'll compete all day and then get.

488
00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:36.319
<v Speaker 14>Back on that same bus charter bus, mind you, and

489
00:21:36.440 --> 00:21:37.160
<v Speaker 14>head back home.

490
00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:39.359
<v Speaker 15>So it was a great spring for us in terms

491
00:21:39.359 --> 00:21:40.119
<v Speaker 15>of competing.

492
00:21:40.200 --> 00:21:41.839
<v Speaker 14>We had four of.

493
00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:44.839
<v Speaker 15>Our newbies graduated high school early, so they were able

494
00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:47.319
<v Speaker 15>to play with us this spring, which was really good.

495
00:21:47.400 --> 00:21:50.720
<v Speaker 15>That's a huge advantage by having your kids in school early.

496
00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:53.279
<v Speaker 3>So you lost me at NC double A rules. There

497
00:21:53.279 --> 00:21:55.559
<v Speaker 3>are still some what's oh.

498
00:21:55.519 --> 00:21:56.559
<v Speaker 15>Yeah, we still have a few.

499
00:21:56.720 --> 00:21:57.160
<v Speaker 14>It's a few.

500
00:21:58.000 --> 00:22:00.759
<v Speaker 3>And then I think you spoke just now about stuff

501
00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:02.839
<v Speaker 3>that I didn't know even though we know about it

502
00:22:02.839 --> 00:22:05.799
<v Speaker 3>in football, where kids are coming in early trying to

503
00:22:05.839 --> 00:22:08.200
<v Speaker 3>you know, start their their schedule here at u of

504
00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:10.960
<v Speaker 3>A and other schools, I didn't you know. I'm not

505
00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:13.839
<v Speaker 3>assuming this because you see them football and basketball when

506
00:22:13.839 --> 00:22:17.359
<v Speaker 3>they come early. But your sports are affected too well.

507
00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:20.480
<v Speaker 14>Yes. One of the reasons why it's so important for

508
00:22:20.599 --> 00:22:22.279
<v Speaker 14>our sport is because we start.

509
00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:25.079
<v Speaker 15>Writing in August, and so you imagine being a freshman

510
00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:28.000
<v Speaker 15>coming in and having to take classes.

511
00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:29.240
<v Speaker 14>And you know you have about.

512
00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:31.519
<v Speaker 15>Ten days to get ready for your competition.

513
00:22:31.119 --> 00:22:32.839
<v Speaker 14>Season and it's a lot.

514
00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:35.799
<v Speaker 15>And so now the athletes are wanting to finish their

515
00:22:35.839 --> 00:22:36.960
<v Speaker 15>club season.

516
00:22:36.640 --> 00:22:40.039
<v Speaker 14>Early, so you'll get a lot of juniors.

517
00:22:39.480 --> 00:22:42.119
<v Speaker 15>Playing at the eighteens level so that they're in a

518
00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:46.279
<v Speaker 15>position to leave and enjoy that last hourah and then

519
00:22:46.359 --> 00:22:47.200
<v Speaker 15>come into college.

520
00:22:47.400 --> 00:22:48.599
<v Speaker 3>But the reps and.

521
00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:50.880
<v Speaker 15>The classes they get to take and bonding with.

522
00:22:50.839 --> 00:22:52.000
<v Speaker 14>The team is invaluable.

523
00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:54.640
<v Speaker 2>Hey, coach, to kind of stay on that same topic,

524
00:22:54.839 --> 00:22:58.680
<v Speaker 2>So could you enlighten everybody, that's all the listeners and

525
00:22:58.720 --> 00:23:02.880
<v Speaker 2>even ourselves. What's your summer schedule like from a coaching standpoint,

526
00:23:02.920 --> 00:23:06.799
<v Speaker 2>and what's the schedule like from a student athlete standpoint?

527
00:23:06.839 --> 00:23:10.279
<v Speaker 2>Like for me, I played college baseball, so my summers

528
00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:12.799
<v Speaker 2>I was in the North Woods League, playing pretty much

529
00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:14.880
<v Speaker 2>the whole summer. What's it like for a college athlete?

530
00:23:14.920 --> 00:23:17.000
<v Speaker 2>And then what's it like for a college coach from

531
00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:19.720
<v Speaker 2>a recruiting standpoint? Just your personal life and everything that

532
00:23:19.759 --> 00:23:20.359
<v Speaker 2>goes into that.

533
00:23:21.759 --> 00:23:25.839
<v Speaker 15>Well, they'll go practice and they'll have weights until Tuesday

534
00:23:25.839 --> 00:23:28.640
<v Speaker 15>of next week, and then we're not allowed to do

535
00:23:28.680 --> 00:23:32.480
<v Speaker 15>anything with them again until August. So that's the reason

536
00:23:32.519 --> 00:23:36.559
<v Speaker 15>why having our freshmen come in from January till the

537
00:23:36.599 --> 00:23:39.359
<v Speaker 15>beginning of May is invaluable because we get a chance

538
00:23:39.400 --> 00:23:42.640
<v Speaker 15>to work with them and they will report data. Is

539
00:23:42.680 --> 00:23:45.480
<v Speaker 15>August eighth, where the athletes come back and then we

540
00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:48.279
<v Speaker 15>are allowed to start working with them in volleyball. So

541
00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:50.759
<v Speaker 15>one of the things that we encourage them to do

542
00:23:50.920 --> 00:23:53.200
<v Speaker 15>is come back and work our camps. So a lot

543
00:23:53.240 --> 00:23:55.720
<v Speaker 15>of our athletes will come back the beginning of July

544
00:23:56.039 --> 00:23:58.559
<v Speaker 15>end of June so that they're in a position that

545
00:23:58.599 --> 00:24:01.680
<v Speaker 15>can start lifting weights and you know, get acclimated and

546
00:24:01.759 --> 00:24:05.279
<v Speaker 15>bond with one another, which you know is a loving sport,

547
00:24:05.400 --> 00:24:07.720
<v Speaker 15>so you've got to enjoy the people that you're working with.

548
00:24:08.200 --> 00:24:10.920
<v Speaker 15>But there's nothing that I can require them to do.

549
00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:14.319
<v Speaker 14>And that's a rule that has been.

550
00:24:14.400 --> 00:24:16.640
<v Speaker 15>Always in place for volleyball.

551
00:24:16.160 --> 00:24:18.759
<v Speaker 14>And soccer, and we're the main ones.

552
00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:21.119
<v Speaker 15>Pushing to be able to have some summertime with our

553
00:24:21.160 --> 00:24:23.799
<v Speaker 15>athletes and football, they're allowed to do it from a

554
00:24:23.799 --> 00:24:25.680
<v Speaker 15>safety precaution and it makes sense.

555
00:24:25.880 --> 00:24:27.559
<v Speaker 14>I'm not anti that, but.

556
00:24:27.559 --> 00:24:28.960
<v Speaker 15>I just want to be able to eat a piece

557
00:24:28.960 --> 00:24:32.119
<v Speaker 15>of that pie as well. Let me as a coach.

558
00:24:32.480 --> 00:24:33.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh go ahead, Sorry, no, it's just going to say

559
00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:36.240
<v Speaker 2>only makes sense, especially with the timing of your season.

560
00:24:36.839 --> 00:24:38.319
<v Speaker 3>You you, I mean you should have.

561
00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:41.039
<v Speaker 2>You should be able to be afforded some time with

562
00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:44.559
<v Speaker 2>those players, especially from a bonding standpoint and a practice standpoint. Sorry,

563
00:24:44.640 --> 00:24:46.200
<v Speaker 2>keep going on. We want to know about your personal

564
00:24:46.440 --> 00:24:46.920
<v Speaker 2>side of it.

565
00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:49.160
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, and so me personally.

566
00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:51.880
<v Speaker 15>So I will recruit this weekend. This will be my

567
00:24:51.960 --> 00:24:54.359
<v Speaker 15>last recruiting weekend before we go into what's called our

568
00:24:54.440 --> 00:24:57.400
<v Speaker 15>quiet period, and that means that I can't go out

569
00:24:57.440 --> 00:25:00.440
<v Speaker 15>for the month of May. But because the transfer portal

570
00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:02.920
<v Speaker 15>is open, I'm still recruiting, trying.

571
00:25:02.680 --> 00:25:05.359
<v Speaker 14>To get kids on campus and working.

572
00:25:05.079 --> 00:25:07.519
<v Speaker 15>Hard to make sure that you know everything is going well.

573
00:25:07.599 --> 00:25:11.599
<v Speaker 15>So May technically is our downtime, but it's not because

574
00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:15.400
<v Speaker 15>you're in the portal trying to navigate getting kids on campus.

575
00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:18.480
<v Speaker 15>But it's a lot of handwriting letters and making phone

576
00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:19.519
<v Speaker 15>calls and things.

577
00:25:19.240 --> 00:25:19.920
<v Speaker 14>Of that nature.

578
00:25:20.319 --> 00:25:23.759
<v Speaker 15>Because June fifteenth is when we were allowed to get

579
00:25:23.759 --> 00:25:26.319
<v Speaker 15>on the phone call phone and start talking.

580
00:25:25.960 --> 00:25:29.559
<v Speaker 14>To the uprising juniors.

581
00:25:29.079 --> 00:25:29.799
<v Speaker 15>In high school.

582
00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:31.519
<v Speaker 14>And so then I'll do.

583
00:25:31.359 --> 00:25:34.079
<v Speaker 15>That all of May, and then June hits and then

584
00:25:34.119 --> 00:25:37.599
<v Speaker 15>I'm back out on the road. And from June technically

585
00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:41.279
<v Speaker 15>May thirty first until June twelfth, I will be out

586
00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:44.839
<v Speaker 15>of Arizona. I'll be traveling around to different clubs and

587
00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:48.160
<v Speaker 15>doing clinics and talking and willing and doing, and then

588
00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:50.839
<v Speaker 15>I'll come back for a day, do a clinic, and

589
00:25:50.880 --> 00:25:53.400
<v Speaker 15>then I'll get back out on the road and start recruiting.

590
00:25:53.880 --> 00:25:56.680
<v Speaker 15>And that takes us all the way until just after

591
00:25:57.440 --> 00:26:00.559
<v Speaker 15>fourth of July, and then you run about ten days

592
00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:03.640
<v Speaker 15>of camps, so you're asking kids to come on campus

593
00:26:03.720 --> 00:26:06.000
<v Speaker 15>and you know, Willing and Dylan and jazzing them up,

594
00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:09.160
<v Speaker 15>and then you'll have about a week and a half

595
00:26:09.200 --> 00:26:11.920
<v Speaker 15>two weeks, just depending on how you plan it out where.

596
00:26:11.799 --> 00:26:12.960
<v Speaker 14>That's your downtime.

597
00:26:13.799 --> 00:26:16.680
<v Speaker 15>And yet you're getting ready for your upcoming season, so

598
00:26:17.519 --> 00:26:19.559
<v Speaker 15>you know, May it's supposed to be our downtime, but

599
00:26:19.720 --> 00:26:21.599
<v Speaker 15>we really don't get any downtime coaching.

600
00:26:22.079 --> 00:26:22.359
<v Speaker 14>Truth.

601
00:26:23.039 --> 00:26:25.200
<v Speaker 3>You've been a coach for a long time, obviously an

602
00:26:25.200 --> 00:26:27.559
<v Speaker 3>assistant here for a long time, and now you moved

603
00:26:27.559 --> 00:26:29.519
<v Speaker 3>over in a chair, and no one would ever thought

604
00:26:29.559 --> 00:26:31.240
<v Speaker 3>you'd have to deal with a lot of stuff that's.

605
00:26:31.119 --> 00:26:31.960
<v Speaker 2>Going on here right now.

606
00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:37.200
<v Speaker 3>Nil other factors, you probably would have never thought this possible.

607
00:26:37.400 --> 00:26:39.680
<v Speaker 3>But now when you go recruit, I know what happens

608
00:26:39.680 --> 00:26:43.000
<v Speaker 3>with every football basketball Did they say, so, how much

609
00:26:43.000 --> 00:26:43.720
<v Speaker 3>are you going to give me?

610
00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:46.680
<v Speaker 14>Well? I do hear it.

611
00:26:46.759 --> 00:26:50.000
<v Speaker 15>I don't hear it as much because most of the

612
00:26:50.119 --> 00:26:52.680
<v Speaker 15>kids out there that are the high profile kids in

613
00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:56.039
<v Speaker 15>terms of requiring and wanting a lot of money. They

614
00:26:56.359 --> 00:26:58.599
<v Speaker 15>already know what program do it, so the.

615
00:26:58.559 --> 00:26:59.559
<v Speaker 14>Information's out there.

616
00:26:59.559 --> 00:27:03.359
<v Speaker 15>Are the best recruiter that is available with social media,

617
00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:05.839
<v Speaker 15>and so these athletes walk in.

618
00:27:05.960 --> 00:27:07.880
<v Speaker 14>Knowing what schools.

619
00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:10.400
<v Speaker 15>Will give and will not give, or don't have or

620
00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:12.839
<v Speaker 15>do have. But you know, at the end of the day,

621
00:27:13.200 --> 00:27:17.000
<v Speaker 15>I don't I'm not anti nil or anti you know.

622
00:27:16.920 --> 00:27:17.920
<v Speaker 14>Paying the athletes.

623
00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:21.000
<v Speaker 15>I just want to be in a position where they

624
00:27:21.279 --> 00:27:24.359
<v Speaker 15>I know that these are good athletes, these are good kids.

625
00:27:24.400 --> 00:27:27.960
<v Speaker 15>You know. I want to continue to raise up and

626
00:27:28.079 --> 00:27:30.359
<v Speaker 15>help develop young women to be the best that they

627
00:27:30.359 --> 00:27:33.920
<v Speaker 15>can be. And I believe that relationships is the way

628
00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:36.759
<v Speaker 15>that you do that. So, you know, we're selective on

629
00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:38.039
<v Speaker 15>you know, a kid maybe like.

630
00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:39.079
<v Speaker 14>Oh how much can you give me?

631
00:27:39.119 --> 00:27:40.880
<v Speaker 15>I'm like, well, how good of a person are you?

632
00:27:41.599 --> 00:27:43.920
<v Speaker 15>And so I spend more time in our staff, we

633
00:27:43.960 --> 00:27:46.240
<v Speaker 15>spend more time trying to get to know the athletes

634
00:27:46.279 --> 00:27:49.200
<v Speaker 15>as people, because at the end of the day, that's

635
00:27:49.319 --> 00:27:51.480
<v Speaker 15>what it really boils down to. So you'll see a

636
00:27:51.519 --> 00:27:54.079
<v Speaker 15>lot of kids make decisions to change schools because it

637
00:27:54.119 --> 00:27:56.400
<v Speaker 15>wasn't all that it was cracked up to be when

638
00:27:56.400 --> 00:27:57.480
<v Speaker 15>they were chasing that money.

639
00:27:57.839 --> 00:27:59.279
<v Speaker 3>You had no question and you were I think you

640
00:27:59.319 --> 00:28:01.359
<v Speaker 3>were around with when Luke was here, right when he

641
00:28:01.720 --> 00:28:04.000
<v Speaker 3>was coaching here. Yes, yes, his number one thing was

642
00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:06.920
<v Speaker 3>if you recruit good people, good things happen because they're

643
00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:07.519
<v Speaker 3>good people.

644
00:28:08.880 --> 00:28:09.200
<v Speaker 14>Yes.

645
00:28:09.359 --> 00:28:11.960
<v Speaker 15>Yes, I one undred percent buy into that and believe that.

646
00:28:12.319 --> 00:28:14.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, let's go to one of the things you wanted

647
00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:16.279
<v Speaker 3>to talk about. They wanted to talk to you about

648
00:28:16.319 --> 00:28:18.799
<v Speaker 3>this caravan that keeps going on. I think, where are

649
00:28:18.839 --> 00:28:20.240
<v Speaker 3>you guys headed next?

650
00:28:21.240 --> 00:28:23.720
<v Speaker 14>Listen here? These Beardown takeovers are awesome.

651
00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:26.039
<v Speaker 15>Yesterday we were at the Monica and it was a

652
00:28:26.079 --> 00:28:29.720
<v Speaker 15>good turnout and just being able to talk to the community.

653
00:28:29.240 --> 00:28:33.319
<v Speaker 14>And give that. Tomorrow we're actually going out. I'm excited

654
00:28:33.359 --> 00:28:33.799
<v Speaker 14>for the song.

655
00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:38.039
<v Speaker 15>We're off at Drackman's Track and we'll be doing some cleanup,

656
00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:39.759
<v Speaker 15>which is pretty impressive.

657
00:28:39.839 --> 00:28:41.519
<v Speaker 14>And I hear it's going to be a large group

658
00:28:41.559 --> 00:28:43.920
<v Speaker 14>of us out there and people are like, really, are

659
00:28:43.960 --> 00:28:44.440
<v Speaker 14>you doing this?

660
00:28:44.519 --> 00:28:45.640
<v Speaker 15>Are you being made to do it?

661
00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:45.759
<v Speaker 1>No?

662
00:28:46.039 --> 00:28:49.880
<v Speaker 15>This is something I truly believe in because Tucson.

663
00:28:49.559 --> 00:28:52.359
<v Speaker 14>Is all about community, and I think the more the.

664
00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:55.119
<v Speaker 15>Community gets to see us do the takeover and see

665
00:28:55.200 --> 00:28:57.400
<v Speaker 15>us putting our you know, getting.

666
00:28:57.119 --> 00:28:58.119
<v Speaker 14>Out there doing work.

667
00:28:58.200 --> 00:29:00.720
<v Speaker 15>And one of my favorites of all is when we

668
00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:04.039
<v Speaker 15>do the how may I help you at football games? Yes,

669
00:29:04.079 --> 00:29:06.160
<v Speaker 15>I put on that shirt and I'm ready to answer

670
00:29:06.319 --> 00:29:07.119
<v Speaker 15>questions and.

671
00:29:07.079 --> 00:29:08.519
<v Speaker 14>Direct people to their seats.

672
00:29:08.759 --> 00:29:11.440
<v Speaker 15>And so I think that's a good bonus that Desiree

673
00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:14.400
<v Speaker 15>has brought to us, which I think is really important.

674
00:29:14.920 --> 00:29:16.559
<v Speaker 15>And then also tomorrow.

675
00:29:16.240 --> 00:29:17.839
<v Speaker 14>There's one down in No Gallus.

676
00:29:17.880 --> 00:29:19.920
<v Speaker 15>So the nice thing is we're up to twenty two

677
00:29:19.960 --> 00:29:20.319
<v Speaker 15>this year.

678
00:29:20.359 --> 00:29:20.960
<v Speaker 14>I think we did.

679
00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:23.839
<v Speaker 15>Eight last year, but we're at twenty two and we're

680
00:29:23.839 --> 00:29:26.640
<v Speaker 15>going around. We're going to hit every corner of the state.

681
00:29:27.039 --> 00:29:30.759
<v Speaker 3>And so you become more cohesive. I guess as a group, right,

682
00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:32.440
<v Speaker 3>are you getting the bus and down there?

683
00:29:32.480 --> 00:29:33.200
<v Speaker 2>Is that what you guys do?

684
00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:37.440
<v Speaker 15>Yeah, we'll take buses or we'll take bands or whatnot.

685
00:29:37.559 --> 00:29:38.440
<v Speaker 14>And you know, we.

686
00:29:38.480 --> 00:29:40.200
<v Speaker 15>Get to talk to a lot of the coaches, and

687
00:29:40.200 --> 00:29:40.799
<v Speaker 15>you get a.

688
00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:43.000
<v Speaker 14>Lot of athletes are going this year, and.

689
00:29:43.200 --> 00:29:46.359
<v Speaker 15>Just our support staff. You know, we're a unit. We're

690
00:29:46.440 --> 00:29:48.559
<v Speaker 15>not going to ever be the place where.

691
00:29:48.519 --> 00:29:51.160
<v Speaker 14>It's a one man show. You know, me going out.

692
00:29:50.960 --> 00:29:53.519
<v Speaker 15>And talking to people on behalf of football is just

693
00:29:53.519 --> 00:29:55.480
<v Speaker 15>as important as me going out talking to people on

694
00:29:55.519 --> 00:29:59.119
<v Speaker 15>behalf of volleyball. I think that's how we grow our

695
00:29:59.160 --> 00:30:00.319
<v Speaker 15>business and our communit unity.

696
00:30:00.799 --> 00:30:03.880
<v Speaker 3>What do you think the number one or two concerns

697
00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:06.200
<v Speaker 3>of the general public Maybe somebody who doesn't what do

698
00:30:06.279 --> 00:30:06.720
<v Speaker 3>they ask?

699
00:30:08.960 --> 00:30:11.839
<v Speaker 15>The number one question asks is what are y'all using

700
00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:12.319
<v Speaker 15>the money for?

701
00:30:12.960 --> 00:30:16.720
<v Speaker 14>Are you really just chating the athletes? And it's like, no,

702
00:30:16.839 --> 00:30:19.000
<v Speaker 14>that's not everyone across.

703
00:30:18.599 --> 00:30:22.400
<v Speaker 15>The board and you know, and do you really support

704
00:30:22.440 --> 00:30:22.960
<v Speaker 15>one another?

705
00:30:23.119 --> 00:30:25.039
<v Speaker 14>I get that question a lot, and I can tell

706
00:30:25.079 --> 00:30:26.359
<v Speaker 14>you I have a group.

707
00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:28.839
<v Speaker 15>Text with all the head coaches and yes, we do

708
00:30:29.000 --> 00:30:29.920
<v Speaker 15>talk all the time.

709
00:30:31.200 --> 00:30:33.559
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that makes total sense. Well, the first question, for

710
00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:36.240
<v Speaker 3>sure is because I get it too, says I'm not

711
00:30:36.279 --> 00:30:38.599
<v Speaker 3>too sure where to give money because I'm not sure

712
00:30:38.599 --> 00:30:40.960
<v Speaker 3>where it's going. Well, you don't know until you ask, right,

713
00:30:41.039 --> 00:30:43.759
<v Speaker 3>So that makes sense to ask, right, you guys? Right?

714
00:30:44.240 --> 00:30:47.000
<v Speaker 14>Yeah. We put it towards the scholarship fund, you.

715
00:30:46.920 --> 00:30:50.640
<v Speaker 15>Know, making sure that we can contain to support our athletes,

716
00:30:50.759 --> 00:30:53.880
<v Speaker 15>and all of that goes towards our academic services and

717
00:30:54.000 --> 00:30:57.880
<v Speaker 15>medical staff. We also put it towards our operations, you know,

718
00:30:58.039 --> 00:31:01.519
<v Speaker 15>to offset things everyone knows is real and you know,

719
00:31:01.559 --> 00:31:04.039
<v Speaker 15>we want to be able to compete and desiree has

720
00:31:04.079 --> 00:31:07.279
<v Speaker 15>done an awesome job of allocating funds in the right

721
00:31:07.359 --> 00:31:11.359
<v Speaker 15>direction and promoting and supporting one another. And that's why

722
00:31:11.400 --> 00:31:12.440
<v Speaker 15>we're all willing.

723
00:31:12.160 --> 00:31:14.920
<v Speaker 14>To get in. If it weren't that way, you wouldn't

724
00:31:14.920 --> 00:31:16.599
<v Speaker 14>get to buy in and support of everyone.

725
00:31:17.720 --> 00:31:19.880
<v Speaker 2>Coach, you had some pretty big shoes to fill with

726
00:31:19.960 --> 00:31:23.000
<v Speaker 2>Dave Rubio, and you've done a phenomenal job there. I

727
00:31:23.039 --> 00:31:27.319
<v Speaker 2>know his son Dylan really well, what were the changes

728
00:31:27.359 --> 00:31:31.000
<v Speaker 2>going from the assistant world to the manager head coach

729
00:31:31.079 --> 00:31:34.880
<v Speaker 2>role that that you were really prepared for, you felt like,

730
00:31:35.000 --> 00:31:37.000
<v Speaker 2>and then some things that were that kind of caught

731
00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:39.079
<v Speaker 2>you off guard, especially with the ever changing landscape of

732
00:31:39.079 --> 00:31:42.440
<v Speaker 2>the NC double A. Can you give us some insight there?

733
00:31:42.480 --> 00:31:44.759
<v Speaker 3>Well, and let me ask you say this because you're

734
00:31:44.759 --> 00:31:48.559
<v Speaker 3>talking to Blake Eager, who's with the tourism industry here.

735
00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:50.559
<v Speaker 3>He's a former manager in pro baseball.

736
00:31:50.599 --> 00:31:54.680
<v Speaker 14>So yes, well, I can tell you the biggest change.

737
00:31:54.720 --> 00:31:58.079
<v Speaker 15>And when I got offered the job, you know, a

738
00:31:58.119 --> 00:32:00.799
<v Speaker 15>lot of the kids were smiling, and I'm wondering.

739
00:32:00.559 --> 00:32:03.000
<v Speaker 14>Like, is this for real? You're really smiling or you're just.

740
00:32:03.039 --> 00:32:06.799
<v Speaker 15>Acting that way because I'm the head coach. So it

741
00:32:06.880 --> 00:32:07.680
<v Speaker 15>took me a minute.

742
00:32:07.720 --> 00:32:09.359
<v Speaker 14>And so I've done one and sat.

743
00:32:09.240 --> 00:32:12.640
<v Speaker 16>On the bean bag and I said, you, guys, my

744
00:32:12.720 --> 00:32:15.039
<v Speaker 16>biggest fear is that you're going to think that I've

745
00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:17.480
<v Speaker 16>changed as a person because I'm now the head coach.

746
00:32:17.559 --> 00:32:19.559
<v Speaker 16>So as an assistant coach.

747
00:32:19.440 --> 00:32:20.920
<v Speaker 14>The kids come to you for everything.

748
00:32:21.039 --> 00:32:22.839
<v Speaker 15>You know, they tell you things you probably don't want

749
00:32:22.839 --> 00:32:25.400
<v Speaker 15>to hear and you shouldn't know, but they're comfortable with you.

750
00:32:26.000 --> 00:32:30.839
<v Speaker 15>And I am a relational person. I am not transactional

751
00:32:30.880 --> 00:32:35.359
<v Speaker 15>at all, like I shriek at transactions, but I'm a

752
00:32:35.400 --> 00:32:39.000
<v Speaker 15>relational person. So I wanted to maintain the relationship with

753
00:32:39.119 --> 00:32:41.559
<v Speaker 15>my players and then let them know that I'm still

754
00:32:41.599 --> 00:32:43.640
<v Speaker 15>the person that they can talk to. But I said,

755
00:32:43.680 --> 00:32:47.480
<v Speaker 15>I do understand that now the decisions lie with me,

756
00:32:48.160 --> 00:32:50.640
<v Speaker 15>but I'm still going to be there for you, you know,

757
00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:52.640
<v Speaker 15>no matter what time. And so I'll get kids that

758
00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:55.480
<v Speaker 15>will FaceTime me, and I'm not a facetimer by any

759
00:32:55.480 --> 00:32:58.240
<v Speaker 15>stretch of imagination, but they'll FaceTime me and like.

760
00:32:58.200 --> 00:33:00.599
<v Speaker 14>I'm like, hey, Rickan, I'm like, Okay, this is a

761
00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:03.599
<v Speaker 14>little weird. But I'm vulnerable with them.

762
00:33:04.000 --> 00:33:06.359
<v Speaker 15>And that's something I learned from my when I was

763
00:33:06.400 --> 00:33:09.359
<v Speaker 15>at NC State is that I wasn't vulnerable. Then I

764
00:33:09.400 --> 00:33:11.720
<v Speaker 15>thought that you had to have this facade as a

765
00:33:11.720 --> 00:33:14.839
<v Speaker 15>head coach, and you know, there's a certain way to act.

766
00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:17.279
<v Speaker 15>And I used to think I was too immature to

767
00:33:17.319 --> 00:33:20.119
<v Speaker 15>be a head coach because I love to laugh and

768
00:33:20.240 --> 00:33:23.759
<v Speaker 15>I yeah, I loved and laugh and engage. And I

769
00:33:23.799 --> 00:33:26.240
<v Speaker 15>realized that I needed to be myself in order to

770
00:33:26.279 --> 00:33:29.079
<v Speaker 15>be the best version of me, which will then allow

771
00:33:29.119 --> 00:33:31.599
<v Speaker 15>people to continue to see me as the person they

772
00:33:31.640 --> 00:33:33.759
<v Speaker 15>saw me as before I got the head coaching job.

773
00:33:34.200 --> 00:33:36.839
<v Speaker 15>So that was my fear and I shared that with

774
00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:40.279
<v Speaker 15>that group that day, and you know, they and it

775
00:33:40.440 --> 00:33:42.039
<v Speaker 15>was a few that were like, oh, we do, we.

776
00:33:42.000 --> 00:33:42.680
<v Speaker 14>Want to do this for.

777
00:33:42.680 --> 00:33:45.720
<v Speaker 15>You, and I'm like, I'm just one person. I put

778
00:33:45.720 --> 00:33:47.839
<v Speaker 15>my pants on one leg at a time. Please don't

779
00:33:47.839 --> 00:33:51.039
<v Speaker 15>put me on a pedal. Still, that's too much pressure

780
00:33:51.079 --> 00:33:53.119
<v Speaker 15>for you, and quite honestly, I don't want the pressure

781
00:33:53.119 --> 00:33:53.359
<v Speaker 15>on me.

782
00:33:53.759 --> 00:33:57.079
<v Speaker 3>No, I can. You said it perfectly because I've said

783
00:33:57.079 --> 00:34:00.799
<v Speaker 3>this historically that it's hard. It's hard to replace the

784
00:34:00.839 --> 00:34:03.200
<v Speaker 3>head coach with an assistant coach because it's like a

785
00:34:03.240 --> 00:34:05.960
<v Speaker 3>substitute teacher filling in for the main teacher. But I

786
00:34:05.960 --> 00:34:08.960
<v Speaker 3>think your approach is perfectly because one you are who

787
00:34:08.960 --> 00:34:11.280
<v Speaker 3>you are, right, and you haven't changed that? Yeah, So

788
00:34:11.440 --> 00:34:14.280
<v Speaker 3>and they know and you've told them that I'm not changing.

789
00:34:14.440 --> 00:34:15.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm just in a different role.

790
00:34:17.000 --> 00:34:20.719
<v Speaker 15>Correct, And I said, if anything changes is you towards me,

791
00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:21.360
<v Speaker 15>it will.

792
00:34:21.199 --> 00:34:24.039
<v Speaker 14>Never be me towards you. And so I worked hard

793
00:34:24.280 --> 00:34:24.639
<v Speaker 14>at that.

794
00:34:24.960 --> 00:34:27.480
<v Speaker 15>And you know, the piece that helped me out the

795
00:34:27.519 --> 00:34:30.119
<v Speaker 15>best was being able to get to write assistance around

796
00:34:30.119 --> 00:34:33.119
<v Speaker 15>me so that it allowed me to lie in my

797
00:34:33.280 --> 00:34:36.280
<v Speaker 15>strength and I didn't have to be someone or something

798
00:34:36.280 --> 00:34:40.440
<v Speaker 15>that I wasn't And I think that the players appreciate.

799
00:34:39.920 --> 00:34:40.800
<v Speaker 14>That as well.

800
00:34:41.320 --> 00:34:44.320
<v Speaker 3>Right, sometimes you have to be well all the coaches.

801
00:34:44.360 --> 00:34:47.320
<v Speaker 3>I've most of the coaches are good cop, bad cop, right,

802
00:34:47.440 --> 00:34:50.119
<v Speaker 3>so the assistants kind of the good top blah blah blah.

803
00:34:50.119 --> 00:34:52.639
<v Speaker 3>But if you're but if you're a good cop bad

804
00:34:52.679 --> 00:34:55.360
<v Speaker 3>cop all in one, then that helps too.

805
00:34:55.280 --> 00:34:59.800
<v Speaker 15>Right, Yes, yes, And like I said, I'm always transparent.

806
00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:02.519
<v Speaker 15>Don't like surprises, so I worked.

807
00:35:02.360 --> 00:35:03.960
<v Speaker 14>Hard to never surprise them.

808
00:35:04.400 --> 00:35:06.880
<v Speaker 15>And I think that's something that they appreciate, that they

809
00:35:06.920 --> 00:35:09.039
<v Speaker 15>know that they can come to me and.

810
00:35:09.079 --> 00:35:11.199
<v Speaker 14>Good or bad. If you want to know the answer, come.

811
00:35:11.079 --> 00:35:11.960
<v Speaker 15>On, I'll tell you.

812
00:35:12.360 --> 00:35:14.280
<v Speaker 14>And I don't hold back. And so it.

813
00:35:14.159 --> 00:35:16.280
<v Speaker 15>Opens the door for them to be the same way.

814
00:35:16.760 --> 00:35:18.400
<v Speaker 15>And I even let them know if I don't know

815
00:35:18.440 --> 00:35:20.400
<v Speaker 15>the answer, I'll go find the answer and I'm not

816
00:35:20.440 --> 00:35:22.280
<v Speaker 15>gonna try to make it up. So don't do it

817
00:35:22.320 --> 00:35:22.840
<v Speaker 15>to me either.

818
00:35:23.719 --> 00:35:26.039
<v Speaker 3>Lastly, real quick, tell us explain to us the draftman

819
00:35:26.159 --> 00:35:27.519
<v Speaker 3>clean up one last time.

820
00:35:28.760 --> 00:35:31.599
<v Speaker 15>Yes, So basically we will meet over there tomorrow morning

821
00:35:31.679 --> 00:35:34.400
<v Speaker 15>about seven forty five, and they're gonna give us some

822
00:35:34.559 --> 00:35:37.360
<v Speaker 15>gloves and some hats, and hopefully I had I may

823
00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:39.199
<v Speaker 15>take my own, But nonetheless.

824
00:35:38.719 --> 00:35:39.960
<v Speaker 14>We're gonna walk around.

825
00:35:39.639 --> 00:35:42.039
<v Speaker 15>The community and we're gonna pick up the trash and

826
00:35:42.239 --> 00:35:45.119
<v Speaker 15>clean up and get engaged and talk to one another.

827
00:35:45.119 --> 00:35:46.480
<v Speaker 14>I'm gonna bring some music.

828
00:35:46.280 --> 00:35:49.320
<v Speaker 15>Because I'm all about music, but it's people within the

829
00:35:49.360 --> 00:35:52.519
<v Speaker 15>athletic department, and I believe that there's a local charter

830
00:35:52.679 --> 00:35:54.880
<v Speaker 15>school that will be out there with us as well,

831
00:35:54.960 --> 00:35:56.880
<v Speaker 15>and so they'll be next to us, and I.

832
00:35:56.880 --> 00:35:58.400
<v Speaker 14>Have to pick their brain and they'll get to pick

833
00:35:58.440 --> 00:35:58.840
<v Speaker 14>my brain.

834
00:35:59.079 --> 00:36:01.519
<v Speaker 15>Say the most important as for about two hours.

835
00:36:01.400 --> 00:36:03.239

840
00:36:13.960 --> 00:36:18.360

<v Speaker 20>talking about Steve Good Cop, Bad Cop, and Blake.

00:41:35.639 --> 00:41:39.400
<v Speaker 20>to fail. Yeah, I just want to tell you, did

954
00:41:39.440 --> 00:41:42.840
<v Speaker 20>you know John Young Blake I did intrumental in RBI Baseball?

955
00:41:42.880 --> 00:41:44.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah no, but I know, I know you were talking about.

956
00:41:44.360 --> 00:41:46.679
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know him personally, but yeah, oh.

957
00:41:46.880 --> 00:41:50.079
<v Speaker 20>Well, my my daughter's played for his softball part of

958
00:41:50.239 --> 00:41:53.599
<v Speaker 20>RBI and uh, we were the only white guys on

959
00:41:53.639 --> 00:41:56.440
<v Speaker 20>the team, white girls on the team, and our coach

960
00:41:56.559 --> 00:41:59.360
<v Speaker 20>was Frank Price, and he was out of Crenshaw High

961
00:41:59.400 --> 00:42:02.400
<v Speaker 20>School and the guy was an f bomb and mother

962
00:42:02.920 --> 00:42:06.119
<v Speaker 20>and one of my daughters just hated him, hated him,

963
00:42:06.840 --> 00:42:10.280
<v Speaker 20>so she wanted to quit. We stuck with it, and

964
00:42:11.159 --> 00:42:15.280
<v Speaker 20>she actually worked her butt off because of the competition

965
00:42:15.360 --> 00:42:16.639
<v Speaker 20>on her own team.

966
00:42:16.920 --> 00:42:19.880
<v Speaker 15>And she, like I said, she hated this guy.

967
00:42:20.400 --> 00:42:22.559
<v Speaker 20>But they went away to Texas and she was going

968
00:42:22.599 --> 00:42:26.360
<v Speaker 20>to this horrible slump and she calls crime, Dad, you

969
00:42:26.440 --> 00:42:28.679
<v Speaker 20>got to come and then get tea work with me.

970
00:42:28.760 --> 00:42:31.079
<v Speaker 20>And I said, jes Me, going to Texas and doing

971
00:42:31.119 --> 00:42:33.360
<v Speaker 20>tea work ain't going to get you out of your slum, dude.

972
00:42:33.760 --> 00:42:37.320
<v Speaker 20>And so a couple of weeks later, fast forward, and

973
00:42:37.400 --> 00:42:40.000
<v Speaker 20>she breaks out with a vengeance. She goes something like

974
00:42:40.199 --> 00:42:43.960
<v Speaker 20>thirteen for fourteen and I said, so what happened? She goes,

975
00:42:44.000 --> 00:42:45.719
<v Speaker 20>You're not going to believe this, And I said, what's that?

976
00:42:46.320 --> 00:42:49.000
<v Speaker 20>She goes, Remember how much I hated Coach Bryce, And

977
00:42:49.039 --> 00:42:51.360
<v Speaker 20>I said, yeah, she goes, but he always told me,

978
00:42:51.440 --> 00:42:53.480
<v Speaker 20>e f and figure it out, figure it out on

979
00:42:53.519 --> 00:42:56.400
<v Speaker 20>your own. And she says, I drew back on that,

980
00:42:56.920 --> 00:42:58.400
<v Speaker 20>and that's how I got out of it.

981
00:42:59.360 --> 00:43:00.000
<v Speaker 3>That's a good story.

982
00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:02.880
<v Speaker 2>I was laughing because I've had I've had that playing

983
00:43:02.960 --> 00:43:06.320
<v Speaker 2>experience with those kind of coaches. Yeah uh, but I

984
00:43:06.360 --> 00:43:08.440
<v Speaker 2>mean one that we speak at total is like just

985
00:43:08.480 --> 00:43:11.679
<v Speaker 2>be better. You wanted to be better, be better.

986
00:43:11.760 --> 00:43:14.159
<v Speaker 3>In sadly, the more the coaches get on you, the

987
00:43:14.159 --> 00:43:16.920
<v Speaker 3>more they're they're they're concerned about you because they see

988
00:43:16.960 --> 00:43:17.519
<v Speaker 3>some promising.

989
00:43:17.639 --> 00:43:19.280
<v Speaker 2>I just say this, and Vic, you know this from

990
00:43:19.320 --> 00:43:21.719
<v Speaker 2>being in that world. When a coach stops talking to you,

991
00:43:22.039 --> 00:43:24.199
<v Speaker 2>and that's that's the problem, no question.

992
00:43:24.840 --> 00:43:27.280
<v Speaker 20>So that's why I like calling when you're on Blake

993
00:43:27.320 --> 00:43:29.000
<v Speaker 20>And like I said, I know you're talking with coach

994
00:43:29.039 --> 00:43:32.599
<v Speaker 20>stuffs about that, and I honestly, just real quick, I

995
00:43:32.639 --> 00:43:34.840
<v Speaker 20>know there was a coach in Northern twos on the

996
00:43:34.920 --> 00:43:38.000
<v Speaker 20>loss his job today, and he's a pretty darn good

997
00:43:38.000 --> 00:43:40.679
<v Speaker 20>one and it was because of parent pressure and all that.

998
00:43:40.719 --> 00:43:41.760
<v Speaker 2>And that's just ridiculous.

999
00:43:41.800 --> 00:43:43.199
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, the worst thing that happened to kids are the

1000
00:43:43.280 --> 00:43:46.159
<v Speaker 3>parents and all that stuff, the pressure.

1001
00:43:46.480 --> 00:43:46.679
<v Speaker 2>Vic.

1002
00:43:46.920 --> 00:43:48.719
<v Speaker 3>You know what I got from your conversation, for that

1003
00:43:48.760 --> 00:43:53.559
<v Speaker 3>five minute conversation, that you're white. That you're white. That

1004
00:43:53.599 --> 00:43:55.960
<v Speaker 3>means you know what, I'm white. Were given your last name.

1005
00:43:56.840 --> 00:43:58.840
<v Speaker 20>Okay, we're the only brown guy.

1006
00:44:00.400 --> 00:44:01.719
<v Speaker 2>We have to change the name of the show to

1007
00:44:01.760 --> 00:44:02.280
<v Speaker 2>the Whos.

1008
00:44:03.360 --> 00:44:05.760
<v Speaker 20>There there you go, But you.

1009
00:44:05.719 --> 00:44:06.800
<v Speaker 15>Guys got a great show.

1010
00:44:06.880 --> 00:44:08.960
<v Speaker 20>And I tell you, Steve, when this guy's on, I

1011
00:44:09.000 --> 00:44:11.719
<v Speaker 20>love because I have baseball in my life every day,

1012
00:44:11.719 --> 00:44:15.079
<v Speaker 20>whether it's softball or going somewhere. It's uh I, I

1013
00:44:15.199 --> 00:44:18.039
<v Speaker 20>just can't get that. And you know what, that little

1014
00:44:18.119 --> 00:44:20.800
<v Speaker 20>yellow ball has kept me and my daughters together. And

1015
00:44:20.840 --> 00:44:23.840
<v Speaker 20>they're thirty now, and and I call him and our

1016
00:44:23.880 --> 00:44:26.639
<v Speaker 20>conversation begins with softball. So some form.

1017
00:44:26.679 --> 00:44:28.280
<v Speaker 3>Well, let me tell you, he's no Andy Lopes, but

1018
00:44:28.280 --> 00:44:30.079
<v Speaker 3>he's a good three.

1019
00:44:31.440 --> 00:44:34.000
<v Speaker 15>He's a little bit behind, but you're right.

1020
00:44:34.880 --> 00:44:36.400
<v Speaker 3>And actually I love the.

1021
00:44:36.679 --> 00:44:38.599
<v Speaker 20>When Andy's son in law was on the other day.

1022
00:44:38.639 --> 00:44:43.199
<v Speaker 2>That was odd Dallas. Yeah, yeah, thanks, yeah, thanks Vic.

1023
00:44:43.719 --> 00:44:44.840
<v Speaker 20>Okay you guys take care.

1024
00:44:45.039 --> 00:44:47.920
<v Speaker 3>Thanks Vic Wost I tell you that was a good call.

1025
00:44:47.679 --> 00:44:50.920
<v Speaker 3>Well to hold that thought. Uh the good cop bad cup? Yeah?

1026
00:44:51.039 --> 00:44:53.280
<v Speaker 2>Is that where we're okay? Were you one?

1027
00:44:53.360 --> 00:44:53.599
<v Speaker 3>Okay?

1028
00:44:53.639 --> 00:44:55.960
<v Speaker 2>Go ahead? So were you won both? Can you do both?

1029
00:44:57.519 --> 00:45:00.800
<v Speaker 2>I think you started where you start losing facete to players. Right,

1030
00:45:00.840 --> 00:45:02.559
<v Speaker 2>you don't want to be you want to be yourself. So,

1031
00:45:02.599 --> 00:45:05.519
<v Speaker 2>like coach Stubbs said, you have to be vulnerable, set

1032
00:45:05.519 --> 00:45:06.159
<v Speaker 2>an example.

1033
00:45:06.239 --> 00:45:06.639
<v Speaker 6>You're there.

1034
00:45:06.719 --> 00:45:09.480
<v Speaker 2>You care for the kids. You care for, whether it's

1035
00:45:09.519 --> 00:45:12.039
<v Speaker 2>not a stop right, you want to see them for

1036
00:45:12.119 --> 00:45:15.440
<v Speaker 2>the rest of their life, a successful and you can

1037
00:45:15.480 --> 00:45:18.119
<v Speaker 2>be an a hole when that time comes, and it's

1038
00:45:18.159 --> 00:45:19.559
<v Speaker 2>deserved to be an a hole, and you have to

1039
00:45:19.599 --> 00:45:23.480
<v Speaker 2>be honest. But I think playing a role just it's

1040
00:45:23.519 --> 00:45:24.559
<v Speaker 2>a it's a facade.

1041
00:45:24.719 --> 00:45:25.719
<v Speaker 3>It's a fake facade.

1042
00:45:25.760 --> 00:45:28.320
<v Speaker 2>And kids are too smart, young men, young women are

1043
00:45:28.360 --> 00:45:30.719
<v Speaker 2>too smart or smart and they're gonna say no exactly.

1044
00:45:30.760 --> 00:45:33.199
<v Speaker 3>It's like parents are getting divorced. The kids know exactly

1045
00:45:33.280 --> 00:45:35.239
<v Speaker 3>what's going on. You can go close the doors and

1046
00:45:35.239 --> 00:45:37.360
<v Speaker 3>start yelling at each other and they can't hear you. Right, No,

1047
00:45:37.400 --> 00:45:40.199
<v Speaker 3>of course, but I think you're right about coach Stubbs

1048
00:45:40.199 --> 00:45:42.239
<v Speaker 3>saying that you have to be who you are, you can't.

1049
00:45:42.480 --> 00:45:44.599
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if I could do that in a sense.

1050
00:45:44.679 --> 00:45:46.599
<v Speaker 3>Is I could be a jerk? I could be. I'm

1051
00:45:46.599 --> 00:45:48.599
<v Speaker 3>sure you ask a couple of people. But I'm too

1052
00:45:48.679 --> 00:45:51.119
<v Speaker 3>nice of a guy to be that jerk. You know

1053
00:45:51.159 --> 00:45:53.159
<v Speaker 3>what I'm saying. I'd be saying, come on, just kind

1054
00:45:53.159 --> 00:45:55.039
<v Speaker 3>of do the job, guys, just to that I wouldn't

1055
00:45:55.039 --> 00:45:57.360
<v Speaker 3>be able to rent and rave. Does that make sense?

1056
00:45:57.480 --> 00:45:59.719
<v Speaker 3>I think there's times and places, Oh yeah, go right.

1057
00:46:00.079 --> 00:46:01.159
<v Speaker 3>One of the things I say, you got to know

1058
00:46:01.159 --> 00:46:02.519
<v Speaker 3>when to hug him and no one to kick him

1059
00:46:02.519 --> 00:46:04.960
<v Speaker 3>in the butt. But there's also that, God do I

1060
00:46:04.960 --> 00:46:06.000
<v Speaker 3>hate to kick you in the buck?

1061
00:46:06.400 --> 00:46:10.679
<v Speaker 2>I mean, this is Andy Andy's Lopez is famous for this. Right,

1062
00:46:11.000 --> 00:46:14.840
<v Speaker 2>you're talking like two hour player meetings after games, right

1063
00:46:14.960 --> 00:46:17.719
<v Speaker 2>lights are off, He's still in the outfield. It's a

1064
00:46:17.760 --> 00:46:21.239
<v Speaker 2>little bit different because he is maybe the greatest, one

1065
00:46:21.239 --> 00:46:24.559
<v Speaker 2>of the greatest public speakers around. But I had assistant

1066
00:46:24.559 --> 00:46:27.440
<v Speaker 2>coaches or coaches around me that would do that. Like

1067
00:46:27.639 --> 00:46:30.000
<v Speaker 2>if I was if I was at a tournament and

1068
00:46:30.039 --> 00:46:31.840
<v Speaker 2>we had four or five teams playing and I'd stick

1069
00:46:31.880 --> 00:46:34.360
<v Speaker 2>around and you listen to coaches, and at some point

1070
00:46:34.400 --> 00:46:36.840
<v Speaker 2>I would just say, listen, you're having a thirty minute

1071
00:46:37.440 --> 00:46:40.960
<v Speaker 2>discussion post game every single time. You have a detention

1072
00:46:41.079 --> 00:46:44.039
<v Speaker 2>span of maybe thirty seconds with those players, right, So

1073
00:46:44.360 --> 00:46:46.760
<v Speaker 2>at some point none of this is getting through them,

1074
00:46:47.079 --> 00:46:49.320
<v Speaker 2>and it's not the time and place like hit on

1075
00:46:49.360 --> 00:46:51.400
<v Speaker 2>it and you can say, listen, you have to up.

1076
00:46:51.440 --> 00:46:53.280
<v Speaker 2>Let's move on. We're going to have a longer discussion

1077
00:46:53.320 --> 00:46:55.760
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow or whatever next practice is. That's the last place

1078
00:46:55.760 --> 00:46:59.239
<v Speaker 2>they know we know as players. Sure, I know when

1079
00:46:59.280 --> 00:47:01.519
<v Speaker 2>I sucked. Hitting in the car with my dad at

1080
00:47:01.519 --> 00:47:03.760
<v Speaker 2>times was not the greatest thing, and I needed an

1081
00:47:03.760 --> 00:47:06.079
<v Speaker 2>ass kicking, right and I needed I need that conversation.

1082
00:47:06.559 --> 00:47:09.559
<v Speaker 2>But I mean, there's a time and place, so let

1083
00:47:09.599 --> 00:47:10.199
<v Speaker 2>me go to that point.

1084
00:47:10.239 --> 00:47:12.960
<v Speaker 3>Just because you made you made the point here us

1085
00:47:13.000 --> 00:47:15.679
<v Speaker 3>players know exactly who's the best player on the team,

1086
00:47:15.920 --> 00:47:17.840
<v Speaker 3>or you can depend on who's going to come through

1087
00:47:17.840 --> 00:47:19.960
<v Speaker 3>with a hit when you need one. I'm not sure

1088
00:47:20.000 --> 00:47:22.400
<v Speaker 3>about being a captain or non captain blah blah blah,

1089
00:47:22.400 --> 00:47:26.760
<v Speaker 3>because you know, without naming names, who's gonna come through

1090
00:47:26.800 --> 00:47:29.559
<v Speaker 3>for you at whatever time, whether he's a captain or

1091
00:47:29.559 --> 00:47:30.039
<v Speaker 3>not captain.

1092
00:47:30.079 --> 00:47:32.000
<v Speaker 2>You know what I'm saying. Yeah, and I've we've I've

1093
00:47:32.039 --> 00:47:35.000
<v Speaker 2>coached teams that we've had one captain, we've had two captains,

1094
00:47:35.000 --> 00:47:37.719
<v Speaker 2>we've had no captains, we've had three captains. You have

1095
00:47:37.800 --> 00:47:40.119
<v Speaker 2>to know we talked about with you a basketball the

1096
00:47:40.880 --> 00:47:44.480
<v Speaker 2>time and place or the level of where you're at. Yeah,

1097
00:47:44.480 --> 00:47:46.719
<v Speaker 2>and level where you're at, and who is actually going

1098
00:47:46.719 --> 00:47:48.480
<v Speaker 2>and it might not be your most likely one of

1099
00:47:48.519 --> 00:47:50.199
<v Speaker 2>them is not going to be your best player. When

1100
00:47:50.239 --> 00:47:52.519
<v Speaker 2>when people just start appointing the best players on the

1101
00:47:52.559 --> 00:47:54.760
<v Speaker 2>team captains, that's not good. That's not always going to work.

1102
00:47:55.000 --> 00:47:55.079
<v Speaker 1>Right.

1103
00:47:55.199 --> 00:47:56.599
<v Speaker 2>You want the guy that's going to show up first

1104
00:47:56.599 --> 00:47:59.119
<v Speaker 2>and leave last, like people will follow that guy. And

1105
00:47:59.159 --> 00:48:01.719
<v Speaker 2>then you want your first, second, or third best player

1106
00:48:01.760 --> 00:48:03.559
<v Speaker 2>to be the other co captain because they're like, okay,

1107
00:48:03.599 --> 00:48:04.599
<v Speaker 2>now this goes in hand.

1108
00:48:04.679 --> 00:48:04.880
<v Speaker 15>Well.

1109
00:48:04.920 --> 00:48:06.920
<v Speaker 3>So some of the best coaches were the guys who

1110
00:48:06.920 --> 00:48:09.639
<v Speaker 3>didn't play. They have sat on the bench and they observed,

1111
00:48:10.079 --> 00:48:12.920
<v Speaker 3>they observed, you know, what to do in time in circumstance.

1112
00:48:12.960 --> 00:48:15.159
<v Speaker 2>I had a coach in double A Brewer was my

1113
00:48:15.159 --> 00:48:17.239
<v Speaker 2>pitching coach, and he was I don't want to say

1114
00:48:17.239 --> 00:48:19.199
<v Speaker 2>it because I was so close with two other coaches,

1115
00:48:19.239 --> 00:48:23.280
<v Speaker 2>pitching coaches, but just from a like like he was

1116
00:48:23.400 --> 00:48:25.719
<v Speaker 2>no nonsense, like he was like, I'm not talking about

1117
00:48:25.719 --> 00:48:27.039
<v Speaker 2>anything else. You want to talk about pitching when you

1118
00:48:27.079 --> 00:48:28.800
<v Speaker 2>talk to and he's like, this is how you're gonna

1119
00:48:28.800 --> 00:48:30.599
<v Speaker 2>attack hitters, That's how you're gonna set up. And it

1120
00:48:30.679 --> 00:48:33.400
<v Speaker 2>blew me away in a good way, a great way.

1121
00:48:33.519 --> 00:48:36.000
<v Speaker 2>And he never played I mean he played college baseball.

1122
00:48:36.000 --> 00:48:38.760
<v Speaker 3>He was analytical, but he had to work so much

1123
00:48:38.760 --> 00:48:40.960
<v Speaker 3>harder because he didn't have namesake, no, no, I hear you

1124
00:48:41.199 --> 00:48:43.719
<v Speaker 3>so and it goes you want a guy that knows

1125
00:48:45.039 --> 00:48:47.199
<v Speaker 3>has been there, done that right and you can speak

1126
00:48:47.239 --> 00:48:48.480
<v Speaker 3>to it, but you also want a guy that's going

1127
00:48:48.519 --> 00:48:49.119
<v Speaker 3>to grind with you.

1128
00:48:49.119 --> 00:48:49.360
<v Speaker 14>Guys.

1129
00:48:49.360 --> 00:48:51.280
<v Speaker 3>Well, it's also a reason why like Michael Jordan them

1130
00:48:51.320 --> 00:48:55.199
<v Speaker 3>could coach, because you're thinking player in the world, there's

1131
00:48:55.199 --> 00:48:58.039
<v Speaker 3>nobody that has his ability. Like you're gonna say, you're

1132
00:48:58.039 --> 00:49:00.320
<v Speaker 3>gonna say, how can you not do this? I did

1133
00:49:00.320 --> 00:49:00.880
<v Speaker 3>it all the time.

1134
00:49:01.159 --> 00:49:04.800
<v Speaker 2>Well it's different where uh I was just watching a

1135
00:49:04.880 --> 00:49:08.079
<v Speaker 2>video and I ray, you might know this. There's a

1136
00:49:09.239 --> 00:49:11.400
<v Speaker 2>it was like Kwame Brown, but it wasn't Kwame Brown

1137
00:49:11.440 --> 00:49:13.760
<v Speaker 2>with somebody that was like I can I should play.

1138
00:49:13.760 --> 00:49:16.119
<v Speaker 2>I should be playing more. I can beat anybody. I

1139
00:49:16.119 --> 00:49:18.159
<v Speaker 2>could beat Michael Jordan one on one. And he heard it,

1140
00:49:18.480 --> 00:49:20.679
<v Speaker 2>and and Michael Jordan's showed up to the gym like

1141
00:49:20.679 --> 00:49:22.760
<v Speaker 2>two days later and they played one on one and

1142
00:49:22.840 --> 00:49:25.119
<v Speaker 2>Jordan like he was like eleven to one.

1143
00:49:25.800 --> 00:49:26.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

1144
00:49:26.400 --> 00:49:29.440
<v Speaker 2>So to your point, as a coach, like, there's just

1145
00:49:29.559 --> 00:49:33.679
<v Speaker 2>there's no there's no comparable player to you or skill level.

1146
00:49:33.920 --> 00:49:36.360
<v Speaker 3>And there have been those players who are good players,

1147
00:49:36.360 --> 00:49:38.360
<v Speaker 3>great players who have been able to coach, but they

1148
00:49:38.400 --> 00:49:39.639
<v Speaker 3>have that special.

1149
00:49:39.360 --> 00:49:42.519
<v Speaker 2>How many how many Hall of Fame coaches are Hall

1150
00:49:42.559 --> 00:49:45.400
<v Speaker 2>of Fame players? Yeah, I don't have to go in

1151
00:49:45.599 --> 00:49:48.320
<v Speaker 2>any sport, right, I mean I think Bird was a

1152
00:49:48.320 --> 00:49:50.760
<v Speaker 2>pretty good coach with Indiana when he first got there,

1153
00:49:50.880 --> 00:49:53.199
<v Speaker 2>but he didn't. But you're not not a Hall of

1154
00:49:53.199 --> 00:49:55.519
<v Speaker 2>Fame coach by any means, right, Yeah?

1155
00:49:55.719 --> 00:49:57.320
<v Speaker 3>No, No, I don't think he's a Hall of Fame coach.

1156
00:49:57.719 --> 00:50:00.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean I say, say Thomas was somewhat of a

1157
00:50:00.880 --> 00:50:01.599
<v Speaker 2>dumpster fire.

1158
00:50:01.760 --> 00:50:04.199
<v Speaker 3>Yeah no, And he was kind of like a wishy,

1159
00:50:04.280 --> 00:50:06.679
<v Speaker 3>washy type of person too, you know, you know Paul

1160
00:50:06.719 --> 00:50:07.920
<v Speaker 3>Westfall the Sons.

1161
00:50:08.039 --> 00:50:10.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, pretty good coach. It didn't last long.

1162
00:50:11.079 --> 00:50:13.239
<v Speaker 3>But like we were talking before you have like a

1163
00:50:13.280 --> 00:50:16.719
<v Speaker 3>ten game swing and you're done. Malone, who just was

1164
00:50:16.719 --> 00:50:18.599
<v Speaker 3>player of the Year, player coach of the year two

1165
00:50:18.719 --> 00:50:19.719
<v Speaker 3>years ago, he's gone.

1166
00:50:19.800 --> 00:50:20.800
<v Speaker 2>You see what he's getting paid?

1167
00:50:20.800 --> 00:50:24.400
<v Speaker 3>Though, Okay, here's my question, Like these coaches that just

1168
00:50:24.440 --> 00:50:27.079
<v Speaker 3>get fired, right, just that just got fired, right, they

1169
00:50:27.079 --> 00:50:30.119
<v Speaker 3>still have to pay out their remaining contract. Yeah, so

1170
00:50:30.599 --> 00:50:33.599
<v Speaker 3>I think it was Malone is still owed, Like is

1171
00:50:33.639 --> 00:50:36.039
<v Speaker 3>he fifty one million dollars? Well, to your point, I

1172
00:50:36.039 --> 00:50:38.320
<v Speaker 3>think did you say with the Phoenix Suns guys seventy

1173
00:50:38.320 --> 00:50:40.480
<v Speaker 3>five million? That was an exaggeration?

1174
00:50:40.639 --> 00:50:43.400
<v Speaker 2>Was it was forty nine million dollars for the Sons

1175
00:50:43.400 --> 00:50:45.639
<v Speaker 2>because it was pasted it was his past contract and

1176
00:50:45.679 --> 00:50:47.400
<v Speaker 2>this contract from a line from Malone.

1177
00:50:47.480 --> 00:50:49.559
<v Speaker 3>Yeahh so you were you were being a little exaggerate.

1178
00:50:49.719 --> 00:50:53.039
<v Speaker 3>But but they had three coaches, Williams, Vogel and now

1179
00:50:53.079 --> 00:50:54.880
<v Speaker 3>this guy, yeah, in three or four years.

1180
00:50:55.000 --> 00:50:56.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and that they're still all paying.

1181
00:50:56.760 --> 00:51:00.159
<v Speaker 3>You're paying more for those coaches, right than you are

1182
00:51:00.199 --> 00:51:03.000
<v Speaker 3>for players that you're currently on your roster. Like, don't

1183
00:51:03.039 --> 00:51:06.000
<v Speaker 3>how much money there is and at the next level, sure, maybe,

1184
00:51:06.079 --> 00:51:07.639
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. Is that a good way to spend money?

1185
00:51:07.679 --> 00:51:08.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

1186
00:51:08.000 --> 00:51:09.880
<v Speaker 2>I'd Like for me, we talked about this from an

1187
00:51:09.960 --> 00:51:12.000
<v Speaker 2>NBA standpoint, it doesn't make sense to me because you

1188
00:51:12.000 --> 00:51:14.000
<v Speaker 2>can't build a culture and what is the culture? Is

1189
00:51:14.039 --> 00:51:16.559
<v Speaker 2>it driven by a coach? Now? Is there really is

1190
00:51:16.599 --> 00:51:19.880
<v Speaker 2>there really coach in the NBA outside of I mean,

1191
00:51:19.880 --> 00:51:23.559
<v Speaker 2>I can think about maybe Golden State, maybe San Antonio,

1192
00:51:25.039 --> 00:51:28.719
<v Speaker 2>and maybe I'm wrong on a couple other ones, maybe Boston,

1193
00:51:28.760 --> 00:51:32.079
<v Speaker 2>But I think that's more front office that you're They're

1194
00:51:32.199 --> 00:51:35.320
<v Speaker 2>led by that front office, right, Yeah. I like the

1195
00:51:35.360 --> 00:51:36.840
<v Speaker 2>way okay, okay, see plays.

1196
00:51:36.840 --> 00:51:37.559
<v Speaker 3>I like the way that.

1197
00:51:37.760 --> 00:51:38.679
<v Speaker 2>Look hot Miami.

1198
00:51:39.000 --> 00:51:41.159
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Houston, Miami. Houston.

1199
00:51:41.159 --> 00:51:43.079
<v Speaker 2>Miami is a good one too. Yeah, in Houston.

1200
00:51:43.119 --> 00:51:44.920
<v Speaker 3>The guy who played at Boston, right, he just had

1201
00:51:44.960 --> 00:51:47.840
<v Speaker 3>some personal issues that you could but all of a

1202
00:51:47.840 --> 00:51:50.760
<v Speaker 3>sudden he's got Houston. Yeah, but he's a great coach.

1203
00:51:51.119 --> 00:51:54.960
<v Speaker 3>You could tell that. That doesn't happen by accident. You

1204
00:51:55.000 --> 00:51:56.519
<v Speaker 3>just don't stumble into a good situation.

1205
00:51:56.599 --> 00:51:58.119
<v Speaker 2>But then you look at the other side of it,

1206
00:51:58.199 --> 00:52:01.639
<v Speaker 2>like and then people are you're getting fired mid season.

1207
00:52:02.400 --> 00:52:05.920
<v Speaker 2>I just that's to me, that's just too much turnover,

1208
00:52:06.000 --> 00:52:08.440
<v Speaker 2>right right, or even like right before the playoffs. But

1209
00:52:08.880 --> 00:52:11.960
<v Speaker 2>here's my question. Okay, so let's say, you guys are seconds.

1210
00:52:12.000 --> 00:52:14.480
<v Speaker 2>Both you guys are headquartered or head coaches. Right, you

1211
00:52:14.559 --> 00:52:18.119
<v Speaker 2>get next five years, you're guaranteed forty nine million dollars.

1212
00:52:18.760 --> 00:52:21.800
<v Speaker 2>Are you looking for another job? Are you like that's it?

1213
00:52:21.840 --> 00:52:24.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm done, Like I'm retiring, dude, I'm done. I'm John

1214
00:52:24.760 --> 00:52:26.840
<v Speaker 2>r Gi me on TV and I'll be I'll figure

1215
00:52:26.880 --> 00:52:28.800
<v Speaker 2>something out. Yeah, I don't even want to be on TV.

1216
00:52:29.079 --> 00:52:31.320
<v Speaker 3>I want I told Josh Josh Pastor, who's pretty good

1217
00:52:31.320 --> 00:52:34.840
<v Speaker 3>at being on TV. Very why would you deal with

1218
00:52:34.880 --> 00:52:38.159
<v Speaker 3>other crap? I think it's just it's a routine, right,

1219
00:52:38.280 --> 00:52:40.880
<v Speaker 3>You're so used to call the ego, and it's it's

1220
00:52:40.920 --> 00:52:41.400
<v Speaker 3>what you do.

1221
00:52:42.280 --> 00:52:44.360
<v Speaker 2>So we gotta go. You ruined it.

1222
00:52:44.440 --> 00:52:45.599
<v Speaker 3>You ruined it. I'm sorry.
