19
00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:57.880
<v Speaker 3>my brother was a lawyer, and I couldn't think of

20
00:00:57.920 --> 00:00:59.320
<v Speaker 3>anything else.

21
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:02.359

24
00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:11.359
<v Speaker 3>You've tried that line, Yeah, zero. I saw those guys

25
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:13.079
<v Speaker 3>and it was making a mess of them. So I

26
00:01:16.359 --> 00:01:18.840
<v Speaker 3>and they were really good cops. No they weren't retired, no, no, no,

<v Speaker 3>but yeah they are now. I wasn't going to do

28
00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:25.560
<v Speaker 3>that though. Look I had I decided early on I

29
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:27.799
<v Speaker 3>wasn't going to take any job that required that I

30
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:30.280

31
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:31.840

32
00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:36.159
<v Speaker 2>So, okay, did it change? And living in your life?

33
00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:40.159
<v Speaker 3>What happened was I really had no idea. So I,

34
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:43.480
<v Speaker 3>you know, talking to my brother Rick, the lawyer, you know,

35
00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:45.680
<v Speaker 3>he said, well, if that's what you want to do,

36
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:47.680
<v Speaker 3>don't do what I did. Which what he did is

37
00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:50.120
<v Speaker 3>he he had he was a political science major, so

38
00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:51.519
<v Speaker 3>coming out of college, he either had to go to

39
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:53.120
<v Speaker 3>law school or he was going to be a teacher.

40
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:57.400
<v Speaker 3>He said, get it. Get a major that you can

41
00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:01.000
<v Speaker 3>get a job with. And you know I like to

42
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:03.159
<v Speaker 3>write in high school, you know, I love my English classes.

43
00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:05.719
<v Speaker 3>So I took journalism. Yeah, he said, don't don't be

44
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:09.280

46
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:18.360
<v Speaker 3>my first reporting class. The first day I said that's it.

47
00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:19.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm not going to law school.

48
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:22.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, okay, So I'll come back to that in a second.

49
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:26.360
<v Speaker 3>Riot baseball okay, okay.

50
00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:29.319
<v Speaker 2>Wow you know so both you guys, both you guys

51
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:30.879
<v Speaker 2>have the same dream II this So what then then

52
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:31.800
<v Speaker 2>what the reality hit?

53
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:34.080
<v Speaker 3>And then what I turned sixteen? I was like, I

54
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:36.479
<v Speaker 3>want I want money, got a job, a.

55
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:38.639
<v Speaker 2>Job, and you're still working for a degree and all

56
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:39.000
<v Speaker 2>that stuff.

57
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:39.240
<v Speaker 1>Right.

58
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:39.879
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

59
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:41.319
<v Speaker 2>The reason I say, you know what I should have

60
00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:43.960
<v Speaker 2>been maybe we should have been a GM of a

61
00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:49.439
<v Speaker 2>college football program, especially at Alabama. Well you know GM,

62
00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:51.759
<v Speaker 2>have you in our time? We didn't hear no GM.

63
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:55.639
<v Speaker 2>It's like a recruiting coordinator director.

64
00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:58.400
<v Speaker 3>That's what it should be, right or he said have

65
00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:00.879
<v Speaker 3>a football or just the football program for the athletic

66
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:02.319
<v Speaker 3>park just to flip pop.

67
00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:08.800
<v Speaker 2>So the new GM at Washington at at Alabama, Courtney Morgan,

68
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:13.199
<v Speaker 2>he went with the boor to to Alabama. He's gonna

69
00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:16.400
<v Speaker 2>make eight hundred thousand dollars a year now, the most

70
00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:21.360
<v Speaker 2>highly paid GM recruiting coordinator. And that's how we knew

71
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:25.680
<v Speaker 2>him back for the day personnel, right, that guy eight

72
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:30.280
<v Speaker 2>hundred thousand dollars a year to do that, Uh to

73
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:30.639
<v Speaker 2>do that.

74
00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:35.479
<v Speaker 3>Didn't didn't you know the recruiting coordinator make you know,

75
00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:38.879
<v Speaker 3>sixty thousand a year like two years ago pretty much.

76
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:41.120
<v Speaker 2>There's another guy. I think it was to Texas Tech.

77
00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:43.120
<v Speaker 2>He made about four hundred thousand, and he was the

78
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:45.439
<v Speaker 2>highest one till then. Now they got the eight hundred

79
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:48.719
<v Speaker 2>and twenty five and he came from Washington blah blah blah,

80
00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:51.599
<v Speaker 2>so he went with him there. Now Alabama's gonna payhim

81
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:55.120
<v Speaker 2>eight hundred and twenty five. I was misspokes to do that.

82
00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:55.759
<v Speaker 3>Obviously.

83
00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:57.840
<v Speaker 2>We know chase players, to chase to chase players, and

84
00:03:57.879 --> 00:03:59.560
<v Speaker 2>we know how much we love recruiting.

85
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:02.439
<v Speaker 3>Right, you know I would do it for that. Yeah,

86
00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:04.639
<v Speaker 3>of course, as much as I hated that, I would

87
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:05.159
<v Speaker 3>do it for that.

88
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:07.960
<v Speaker 2>And Alabama can afford it. They have the money up

89
00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:11.319
<v Speaker 2>the wazoo, right. Uh, No, wonder schools are hurting for

90
00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:12.840
<v Speaker 2>money they're paying these guys?

91
00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:16.360
<v Speaker 3>What are they're exactly? Why do they think they need

92
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:17.120
<v Speaker 3>to pay him that much?

93
00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:21.360
<v Speaker 2>Recruit That's how important the recruiting is. Eight and twenty

94
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:22.800
<v Speaker 2>five dollars.

95
00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:25.360
<v Speaker 3>It's still pretty important if you're paying him two hundred

96
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:26.120
<v Speaker 3>thousand dollars.

97
00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:30.040
<v Speaker 2>Without question, without question. We've seen some guys in our time. God,

98
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:32.519
<v Speaker 2>who was the recruited was it? Bill Bullmorgan was not

99
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:35.399
<v Speaker 2>the recruiting guy back in the day, Pat Hill was not.

100
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:35.759
<v Speaker 3>It was.

101
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:38.000
<v Speaker 2>We'd have to go back in the archives to see

102
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:38.560
<v Speaker 2>who they were.

103
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:42.360
<v Speaker 3>But uh, Rob Bianello is a recruiting coordinator, right right.

104
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:43.959
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna get him on too. I try to do

105
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:48.560
<v Speaker 2>that pair next week. But recently even the GM was

106
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:51.000
<v Speaker 2>like kind of the right hand man to someone. Whoever

107
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:52.879
<v Speaker 2>that guy was, and what the hell did he do?

108
00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:55.079
<v Speaker 3>Well? That was the so is that is the GM?

109
00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:56.639
<v Speaker 3>Now the director of operations?

110
00:04:57.000 --> 00:04:59.120
<v Speaker 2>Well depends how you have them, because the direction.

111
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:01.639
<v Speaker 3>Of operations does more than recruiting. Well, this guy is

112
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:04.959
<v Speaker 3>just a recruiting guy. That's not. Well, I guess they're

113
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:07.759
<v Speaker 3>giving him a GM title, But to me, a GM

114
00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:12.079
<v Speaker 3>is not somebody who just it's a general manager generally

115
00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:14.600
<v Speaker 3>manages the program.

116
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:16.759
<v Speaker 2>And that was the guy. That was that guy for

117
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:18.720
<v Speaker 2>something right right? He was also is kind of his

118
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:21.519
<v Speaker 2>driver or whatever, and I didn't understand what the hell

119
00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:25.079
<v Speaker 2>he was doing there outside of protecting something right, And okay,

120
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:26.560
<v Speaker 2>so how is he gonna do that? He kind of

121
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:29.480
<v Speaker 2>ran interference and then now they have a couple of guys.

122
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:34.720
<v Speaker 2>Jet had his guy. I think he's still around, the

123
00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:37.800
<v Speaker 2>skinny guy the dark hair. And now there's another guy

124
00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:39.519
<v Speaker 2>out there just kind of helping out.

125
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:43.160
<v Speaker 3>I don't get it. But do you really need these people?

126
00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:46.879
<v Speaker 3>Well you can maybe you need those people because there's

127
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:50.560
<v Speaker 3>so much more to do. The bigger question, do you

128
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:52.759
<v Speaker 3>need to pay these people this much? Okay?

129
00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:55.519
<v Speaker 2>And there was another guy and now he's gone, he

130
00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:56.000
<v Speaker 2>went to Oregon.

131
00:05:56.079 --> 00:06:00.560
<v Speaker 3>I'm happy. Well I'm calling up I'm calling up the

132
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:03.240
<v Speaker 3>football supports. Okay, yeah, okay. So we've got a chief

133
00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:05.959
<v Speaker 3>of staff. Who is His name is Ben I think

134
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:06.639
<v Speaker 3>at theens or.

135
00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:08.800
<v Speaker 4>Okay, so I think he's new. I think he's new. Okay,

136
00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:10.360
<v Speaker 4>he's the chief of staff. But you also have a

137
00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:16.759
<v Speaker 4>gentle manager. See what gays guys Crowley my point? Okay,

138
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:21.720
<v Speaker 4>So then you have a director of football operations. How

139
00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:24.240
<v Speaker 4>come then assistant athletic director football operations.

140
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:26.120
<v Speaker 2>Okay, we didn't know about these jobs that were open.

141
00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:28.759
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't applied he but you know what I mean.

142
00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:31.480
<v Speaker 2>There's a long list right apparently.

143
00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:34.360
<v Speaker 3>Director of player development okay, which I thought should be

144
00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:39.040
<v Speaker 3>the general manager. But then a director of recruiting operations.

145
00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:42.040
<v Speaker 3>Isn't that the director of player development my appoint? Then

146
00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:43.519
<v Speaker 3>a director of scouting.

147
00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:45.639
<v Speaker 2>My point, And maybe you should get Mike Flores in

148
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:48.360
<v Speaker 2>here one of these days, because he's back in our time.

149
00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:51.120
<v Speaker 3>He was kind of all this stuff. Yeah, he became.

150
00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:52.600
<v Speaker 3>He was a recruiting coordinated for a while.

151
00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:55.600
<v Speaker 2>What were what were the nineteen eighties and nineties missing

152
00:06:56.720 --> 00:06:57.800
<v Speaker 2>that these guys have now?

153
00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:00.439
<v Speaker 3>I mean, was it all bad back that they were

154
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:05.600
<v Speaker 3>missing the transfer portal? They were missing nil, they were

155
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:10.800
<v Speaker 3>missing social media and the internet where where people could

156
00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:17.439
<v Speaker 3>easily communicate with other people at other schools. And so

157
00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:19.240
<v Speaker 3>go down the list of people, just your top four

158
00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:23.040
<v Speaker 3>their titles? Uh uh okay, chief of staff.

159
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:24.480
<v Speaker 2>That wasn't there before.

160
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:27.439
<v Speaker 3>We didn't general manager, we didn't have that Director of

161
00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:30.199
<v Speaker 3>football operation. We probably had that. It's maybe underwell, because

162
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:32.160
<v Speaker 3>you have a director of recruiting operation. That's what you had,

163
00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:35.439
<v Speaker 3>is a director of recruiting operations or the recruiting coordinator. Okay,

164
00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:39.319
<v Speaker 3>and then all right, director player development. Okay, what does

165
00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:39.720
<v Speaker 3>that mean?

166
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:40.240
<v Speaker 5>Right?

167
00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:44.079
<v Speaker 3>It's four jobs. Director of scouting, I don't think that

168
00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:46.959
<v Speaker 3>was it. That was the recruiting coordinator too. They were

169
00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:49.879
<v Speaker 3>doing all the research on who was who and getting

170
00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:53.680
<v Speaker 3>filmed and all. That was the one dude. So now

171
00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:57.480
<v Speaker 3>you're looking at probably a million. It looks like there's

172
00:07:57.560 --> 00:08:03.199
<v Speaker 3>four people, four people who did who are doing what

173
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:04.759
<v Speaker 3>the recruiting coordinators to do.

174
00:08:04.959 --> 00:08:09.439
<v Speaker 2>Back in the day, Yeah, where's schools in trouble?

175
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:12.240
<v Speaker 3>Well? The director of football operations has an assistant director

176
00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:15.759
<v Speaker 3>for football. I don't know.

177
00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:17.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to brought that out, but I bought

178
00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:19.000
<v Speaker 2>it because Bama was paying. There was eight hundred and

179
00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:21.560
<v Speaker 2>twenty five dollars. Eight hundred and twenty five thousand dollars,

180
00:08:21.600 --> 00:08:25.639
<v Speaker 2>I should say, which is crazy to me. Crazy to me,

181
00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:27.920
<v Speaker 2>and a time when money is of the essence in

182
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:31.160
<v Speaker 2>this programs. Maybe not to Alabama because they have it coming,

183
00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:35.360
<v Speaker 2>like I said, out of everywhere, but people like cars

184
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:37.679
<v Speaker 2>or programs like Arizona and otherwise.

185
00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:41.200
<v Speaker 3>How do you find the money to do this? I

186
00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:41.559
<v Speaker 3>don't know.

187
00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:44.320
<v Speaker 2>I just found it kind of funny, kind of funny

188
00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:46.600
<v Speaker 2>and sad at the same time, because back in the day,

189
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:47.159
<v Speaker 2>we didn't need that.

190
00:08:47.799 --> 00:08:49.159
<v Speaker 3>Back in the day, we just needed what car to

191
00:08:49.240 --> 00:08:54.759
<v Speaker 3>go to the grocery store. We didn't need three. I

192
00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:58.159
<v Speaker 3>never understood that, like people have multiple cars. I'm gonna

193
00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:00.240
<v Speaker 3>do this one for work and this one's for my A. Right,

194
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:04.360
<v Speaker 3>here's that one car. Yeah, you know, I want to

195
00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:06.720
<v Speaker 3>travel waste now on gas and electric. I get it.

196
00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:08.759
<v Speaker 3>But you're you're right? I mean, come on, how many

197
00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:10.279
<v Speaker 3>times can you get in the car and go just

198
00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:11.679
<v Speaker 3>one car? Yeah?

199
00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:15.960
<v Speaker 2>All right, you understand what I'm saying, right, Jake, you understand.

200
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:17.759
<v Speaker 2>I mean that's kind of crazy. It's kind of crazy

201
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:21.759
<v Speaker 2>all these people. And I guess they justified it because

202
00:09:21.799 --> 00:09:25.879
<v Speaker 2>they did it. They hired these people. But I could

203
00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:28.720
<v Speaker 2>I just imagine asking desire this or even Dave Ikey

204
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:29.879
<v Speaker 2>or even Jim Lavingdon.

205
00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:31.519
<v Speaker 3>Right, maybe next time.

206
00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:31.720
<v Speaker 6>We do that.

207
00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:36.960
<v Speaker 3>Is there really a need for this? I think it's

208
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:38.600
<v Speaker 3>one of those things where other people are doing it,

209
00:09:38.639 --> 00:09:42.039
<v Speaker 3>so we gotta do it otherwise we're falling behind. Right,

210
00:09:42.759 --> 00:09:46.480
<v Speaker 3>do you believe that? I know that's I don't know.

211
00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:49.519
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. That's well, if you're the recruiting, if

212
00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:52.519
<v Speaker 3>you're let's say you're the you're the one guy doing

213
00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:55.159
<v Speaker 3>all four of those jobs. And you see that Oregon

214
00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:58.879
<v Speaker 3>has four guys doing that job, and Washington has four

215
00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:02.360
<v Speaker 3>guys doing that job, and UCLA as four guys doing

216
00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:04.840
<v Speaker 3>that job. Then you're thinking, wait a minute, what the

217
00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:05.919
<v Speaker 3>hell am I doing? Right?

218
00:10:06.039 --> 00:10:06.159
<v Speaker 2>Right?

219
00:10:06.279 --> 00:10:07.840
<v Speaker 3>Doing them all the time. I'm gonna go do I'm

220
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:10.399
<v Speaker 3>gonna go somewhere where I can be one of those,

221
00:10:10.679 --> 00:10:13.919
<v Speaker 3>one of four instead of one of one. Sure right, sure, sure, no,

222
00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:14.399
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure.

223
00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:18.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure at the FBC's or the smaller schools that's

224
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:21.320
<v Speaker 2>there is one guy because you can't afford to pay

225
00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:24.360
<v Speaker 2>for people, right, or the smaller schools like the Colorado

226
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:26.600
<v Speaker 2>States or the New Mexicos or whatever, or you have

227
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:31.039
<v Speaker 2>these these limited funds. Even more so, I just don't

228
00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:33.720
<v Speaker 2>understand it. Yeah, I just found it kind of strange,

229
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:37.279
<v Speaker 2>not strange, but kind of funny that they're paying these money,

230
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:39.960
<v Speaker 2>these types of money. A one hundred and twenty five

231
00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:43.360
<v Speaker 2>thousand and under the three year contract to deal a

232
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:47.600
<v Speaker 2>deal the Boosters will put it into place for highest

233
00:10:47.639 --> 00:10:51.759
<v Speaker 2>Paige front office figure. Unbelievable. That's a lot I should

234
00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:52.759
<v Speaker 2>have become one of those guys.

235
00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:55.279
<v Speaker 3>Is it too like to change careers? I think so

236
00:10:56.480 --> 00:11:00.679
<v Speaker 3>I have an easier time of being a pro baseball player. Yeah,

237
00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:04.759
<v Speaker 3>well take me a couple of years to really get shape.

238
00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:07.240
<v Speaker 3>It need be the Mirac, there'd be a movie on you.

239
00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:09.919
<v Speaker 3>But you know I'm you already going through the roster.

240
00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:15.639
<v Speaker 3>I'm actually in the u of a salaries day. Okay, okay,

241
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:20.480
<v Speaker 3>but you know, hey, if they can pull it off,

242
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:21.000
<v Speaker 3>they can pull it.

243
00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:22.080
<v Speaker 2>Off, and they needed to pull it off.

244
00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:25.080
<v Speaker 3>I understand that. And it's a criticism. You can get it.

245
00:11:25.080 --> 00:11:27.159
<v Speaker 3>Why wouldn't Yeah, this is not criticism, it's just stuff.

246
00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:29.720
<v Speaker 2>The thought that I had because all these if one

247
00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:34.000
<v Speaker 2>if monkeys see monkey do temping, kind of like you said, Well,

288
00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:21.759
<v Speaker 3>just found what real quick? Lauren Bossler. Lauren, because you

289
00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:24.240

00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:41.399

298
00:13:57.120 --> 00:14:00.200
<v Speaker 3>jumping into these people's private stuff, but I guess it's

299

<v Speaker 2>I don't care I have that job. But to me,

303
00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:15.960
<v Speaker 2>it's it's like, Wow, do you really need all this stuff?

304
00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:18.840
<v Speaker 2>You need someone to clean the floors and and the kitchen,

305
00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:22.240
<v Speaker 2>and the and the and the bathrooms. I think you

306
00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:25.399
<v Speaker 2>need four people. I do because I don't do it.

307

431
00:20:26.039 --> 00:20:28.200
<v Speaker 3>Well, I was gonna say, what, what what has been

432
00:20:28.240 --> 00:20:30.279
<v Speaker 3>the key to that? Though? You say you're doing the work,

433
00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:33.039
<v Speaker 3>but you know this is building a program, right, and

434
00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:35.200
<v Speaker 3>that that's what you're doing over there. What do you

435
00:20:35.279 --> 00:20:39.640
<v Speaker 3>think has been the thing that you've done best to

436
00:20:39.759 --> 00:20:43.640
<v Speaker 3>build this program? Steve? Steve calls the secret sauce over there.

437
00:20:44.119 --> 00:20:46.640
<v Speaker 5>So so I don't want to say it's a secret sauce.

438
00:20:46.839 --> 00:20:51.640
<v Speaker 5>Is just I think first is you know, giving the

439
00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:54.759
<v Speaker 5>guys a goal. Hey, what is all trying to do

440
00:20:54.839 --> 00:20:56.319
<v Speaker 5>with this season? You know, I always knew with my

441
00:20:56.400 --> 00:20:58.480
<v Speaker 5>seniors in May, hey what are you trying to do

442
00:20:58.559 --> 00:21:01.240
<v Speaker 5>with this upcoming season? And once they tell me, like

443
00:21:01.319 --> 00:21:03.640
<v Speaker 5>this senior class, this is my senior class. I happened

444
00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:05.680
<v Speaker 5>since they were freshmen. And the first thing they said

445
00:21:05.759 --> 00:21:07.720
<v Speaker 5>was we want to go in the stay titles. And

446
00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:09.759
<v Speaker 5>I said, my job as a coach and the coaching

447
00:21:09.759 --> 00:21:12.119
<v Speaker 5>staff is to get y'all ready for that. So they

448
00:21:12.200 --> 00:21:13.880
<v Speaker 5>gave me the goal of what they want to reach.

449
00:21:14.440 --> 00:21:16.480
<v Speaker 5>So I put it up in the work. We show

450
00:21:16.519 --> 00:21:18.200
<v Speaker 5>up every day in the summer twice a day. I

451
00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:20.319
<v Speaker 5>mean in the day, we show up twice a day.

452
00:21:21.839 --> 00:21:25.000
<v Speaker 5>Taking care of business off the field, you know, being

453
00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:26.920
<v Speaker 5>in classroom now that we're in school, you know, making

454
00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:29.599
<v Speaker 5>sure we take great grade because all those little things

455
00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:31.240
<v Speaker 5>are going to add up to what we're trying to do,

456
00:21:31.680 --> 00:21:34.160
<v Speaker 5>you know what I'm saying. And I think the biggest

457
00:21:34.200 --> 00:21:37.759
<v Speaker 5>thing is giving them a goal for them that's reachable.

458
00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:39.680
<v Speaker 5>And I think we've been able to reach those goals

459
00:21:40.200 --> 00:21:43.039
<v Speaker 5>every year. And I think now as a senior class,

460
00:21:43.079 --> 00:21:45.440
<v Speaker 5>we want to put it all together and be able

461
00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:47.960
<v Speaker 5>to go chase the state titles. So like I said,

462
00:21:47.960 --> 00:21:50.079
<v Speaker 5>it ain't no secret to it. We're working, We're putting

463
00:21:50.079 --> 00:21:52.440
<v Speaker 5>in the work. We're showing up every day, twice a day,

464
00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:54.920
<v Speaker 5>every day in the summer, you know. And then now

465
00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:57.480
<v Speaker 5>that the school started, we're showing up the practice. We're

466
00:21:57.519 --> 00:21:59.359
<v Speaker 5>doing the things in the classroom and doing the all

467
00:21:59.400 --> 00:22:02.039
<v Speaker 5>the necessary off the field to get us ready for

468
00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:02.640
<v Speaker 5>on the field.

469
00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:05.440
<v Speaker 2>So four years ago, if these were freshmen and you

470
00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:09.079
<v Speaker 2>had them, did you see the potential in them? You know?

471
00:22:09.240 --> 00:22:10.599
<v Speaker 3>For three years later, four years later.

472
00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:14.599
<v Speaker 5>So seeing them as freshmans as babies just crazy. Now

473
00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:19.079
<v Speaker 5>I see them driving, I'm scared, you know, So, you know,

474
00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:22.599
<v Speaker 5>seeing them all grown up. But with this freshman class,

475
00:22:23.599 --> 00:22:26.400
<v Speaker 5>they have seen My first year went seven and three,

476
00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:29.079
<v Speaker 5>you know, the second year we went ten and two,

477
00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:31.880
<v Speaker 5>last year went five and five, So they've seen all

478
00:22:31.920 --> 00:22:34.440
<v Speaker 5>the ups and downs. You know, they see, hey, we

479
00:22:34.559 --> 00:22:35.960
<v Speaker 5>have to show up in the summer if we want

480
00:22:35.960 --> 00:22:38.920
<v Speaker 5>to win in August. Hey we have to have leadership

481
00:22:39.160 --> 00:22:42.200
<v Speaker 5>if we want to win games that are closed. They're

482
00:22:42.279 --> 00:22:44.440
<v Speaker 5>seeing all these things year in the year out, and

483
00:22:44.599 --> 00:22:47.319
<v Speaker 5>now that they're older, I think they're all ready to

484
00:22:47.359 --> 00:22:49.839
<v Speaker 5>put together. I got eighteen seniors this year, so most

485
00:22:49.880 --> 00:22:51.599
<v Speaker 5>of them have stuck around, you know what I'm saying.

486
00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:53.559
<v Speaker 5>So they have seen all the ups and downs, the

487
00:22:53.559 --> 00:22:56.000
<v Speaker 5>bumps and bruises. So I think this year is gonna

488
00:22:56.039 --> 00:22:57.920
<v Speaker 5>be special due to the fact that a lot of

489
00:22:57.960 --> 00:23:00.519
<v Speaker 5>them stuck around. They trusted the process. And now I'm

490
00:23:00.519 --> 00:23:02.759
<v Speaker 5>starting to see that from my younger class and my juniors,

491
00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:05.519
<v Speaker 5>my sophomores, and my new freshmen that came in. I

492
00:23:05.599 --> 00:23:07.799
<v Speaker 5>have one hundred and what forty kids in the program.

493
00:23:08.200 --> 00:23:10.279
<v Speaker 5>Due to the fact that they're seeing the success, they're

494
00:23:10.359 --> 00:23:13.319
<v Speaker 5>seeing the process. We're not trying to skip any steps,

495
00:23:13.480 --> 00:23:14.680
<v Speaker 5>you know what I'm saying. We're not just trying to

496
00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:17.799
<v Speaker 5>win one game. We're trying to, you know, chase the

497
00:23:17.799 --> 00:23:20.599
<v Speaker 5>state championship, make the playoffs, right, So that's where the

498
00:23:20.680 --> 00:23:24.240
<v Speaker 5>program is getting field. Because this senior class has stayed

499
00:23:24.279 --> 00:23:26.759
<v Speaker 5>and showed people, Hey, if we just put in the words,

500
00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:28.680
<v Speaker 5>it's gonna work for us, you know what I'm saying.

501
00:23:28.720 --> 00:23:30.279
<v Speaker 5>So that's where I think it's been going on the

502
00:23:30.359 --> 00:23:31.039
<v Speaker 5>last four years.

503
00:23:31.519 --> 00:23:33.519
<v Speaker 3>You know, I'm looking at your schedule and you did

504
00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:36.000
<v Speaker 3>this last year. You open with sell Point. You know

505
00:23:36.160 --> 00:23:39.440
<v Speaker 3>arguably you know, the top or one of the top

506
00:23:39.480 --> 00:23:42.920
<v Speaker 3>programs in the city. Are you doing that on purpose

507
00:23:43.000 --> 00:23:46.160
<v Speaker 3>to keep your guys focused? I would say, you know

508
00:23:46.440 --> 00:23:48.000
<v Speaker 3>in the off season and say, you know, we're not

509
00:23:48.480 --> 00:23:51.319
<v Speaker 3>We're not sliding into the season. We're we're going all

510
00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:55.599
<v Speaker 3>in game one. That is that on purpose or did

511
00:23:56.119 --> 00:23:56.680
<v Speaker 3>you just kind of.

512
00:23:57.039 --> 00:23:59.920
<v Speaker 5>It's always impurpose and everything we do we have a

513
00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:02.319
<v Speaker 5>purpose to it. If we want to be the best,

514
00:24:02.359 --> 00:24:04.680
<v Speaker 5>we have to beat the best. And they said a

515
00:24:04.720 --> 00:24:06.200
<v Speaker 5>state title, And the only way you're gonna get to

516
00:24:06.200 --> 00:24:08.319
<v Speaker 5>a state title, you're gonna have to go through those

517
00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:10.559
<v Speaker 5>teams and seen it. So why not play them, you

518
00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:13.079
<v Speaker 5>know what I'm saying. So we scheduled team like South Point,

519
00:24:13.079 --> 00:24:15.559
<v Speaker 5>we scheduled team like Igaly, and you know, we battle

520
00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:16.559
<v Speaker 5>them all the way to the end.

521
00:24:16.640 --> 00:24:16.759
<v Speaker 1>You know.

522
00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:20.359
<v Speaker 5>Unfortunately we lost those two games, but our players seeing hey,

523
00:24:20.440 --> 00:24:22.400
<v Speaker 5>we can play with anybody in the state. We just

524
00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:24.039
<v Speaker 5>have to work at it. And like I said, it

525
00:24:24.039 --> 00:24:26.920
<v Speaker 5>ain't no shortcuts. We're not skipping those steps. We're gonna

526
00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:29.559
<v Speaker 5>keep working because we believe we can go out and

527
00:24:29.640 --> 00:24:31.519
<v Speaker 5>win a state title. But we're gonna have to do

528
00:24:31.559 --> 00:24:33.279
<v Speaker 5>it the right way. And it starts on August thirty

529
00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:35.519
<v Speaker 5>versus Southwest And if we can get that win, we

530
00:24:35.640 --> 00:24:37.559
<v Speaker 5>know we can compete with anybody else in the city.

531
00:24:38.079 --> 00:24:41.839
<v Speaker 2>How is in four years and we know who Morano

532
00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:44.000
<v Speaker 2>is right, just kind of north of Tucson and just

533
00:24:44.079 --> 00:24:47.440
<v Speaker 2>right on the outskirts. How has this happened? I mean

534
00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:50.799
<v Speaker 2>we saw last week we talked to the coach from

535
00:24:51.039 --> 00:24:53.799
<v Speaker 2>Wilcox a little league girls, right, and how in the

536
00:24:53.839 --> 00:24:54.559
<v Speaker 2>world did that happen?

537
00:24:54.640 --> 00:24:54.720
<v Speaker 3>Right?

538
00:24:54.799 --> 00:24:56.720
<v Speaker 2>And they go to the World Series? Now, what's going

539
00:24:56.759 --> 00:24:58.559
<v Speaker 2>on in Marana that's making this happen?

540
00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:03.240
<v Speaker 5>Hey, shout out to Willcox. That's why I started my

541
00:25:03.319 --> 00:25:08.200
<v Speaker 5>coaching career about that what they did, coaching McCumber, Patrick

542
00:25:08.279 --> 00:25:11.079
<v Speaker 5>McCumber taking those girls and did what they did, like

543
00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:14.279
<v Speaker 5>shout out to them. But here in Willcox it reminds

544
00:25:14.319 --> 00:25:16.079
<v Speaker 5>me a lot of Willcox. I mean here in Miranda,

545
00:25:16.079 --> 00:25:18.759
<v Speaker 5>it reminds me a lot of Willcox small towns, you

546
00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:21.440
<v Speaker 5>know what I'm saying. And I just think the players

547
00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:25.319
<v Speaker 5>are seeing what the biggest thing is for people to

548
00:25:25.359 --> 00:25:27.000
<v Speaker 5>see what we're doing, you know what I'm saying. We,

549
00:25:27.240 --> 00:25:29.279
<v Speaker 5>like you said, we twenty minutes off the freeway, so

550
00:25:29.319 --> 00:25:31.319
<v Speaker 5>a lot of people don't get to see what we're doing.

551
00:25:31.799 --> 00:25:34.759
<v Speaker 5>The social media and all that, we're pushing what we're doing,

552
00:25:34.839 --> 00:25:36.279
<v Speaker 5>and I think a lot of kids coming out of

553
00:25:36.319 --> 00:25:38.559
<v Speaker 5>middle school it's like, wait, I live right here by

554
00:25:38.640 --> 00:25:40.720
<v Speaker 5>Moround and they're doing all these good things, and we're

555
00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:42.160
<v Speaker 5>starting to get a lot of these kids in the

556
00:25:42.240 --> 00:25:45.680
<v Speaker 5>surrounding area to stay here, you know, and not drive

557
00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:47.599
<v Speaker 5>thirty or forty because you know, most schools in southern

558
00:25:47.640 --> 00:25:50.839
<v Speaker 5>Arizona's open enrollment, and not drive thirty forty minutes to

559
00:25:50.880 --> 00:25:53.119
<v Speaker 5>go to South Point or go to Tucson High or

560
00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:54.960
<v Speaker 5>driving way down across the city to go to all

561
00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:56.960
<v Speaker 5>these other schools when we can go to a school

562
00:25:57.039 --> 00:25:59.359
<v Speaker 5>right here. So a lot of that is getting it

563
00:25:59.400 --> 00:26:01.279
<v Speaker 5>out of what they're doing over here as a program

564
00:26:01.640 --> 00:26:03.720
<v Speaker 5>and getting a lot of these kids to stay locally

565
00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:07.000
<v Speaker 5>around And I think that's what's helping us build the program.

566
00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:09.799
<v Speaker 5>And the last is to my coaching. Man, the one

567
00:26:09.880 --> 00:26:12.480
<v Speaker 5>thing I believe they're doing with these kids, they're coaching

568
00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:16.640
<v Speaker 5>them again trying to just win one game, win two games.

569
00:26:16.960 --> 00:26:19.279
<v Speaker 5>We're trying to build a program here, and you can't

570
00:26:19.319 --> 00:26:21.279
<v Speaker 5>win it with just one or two players. You have

571
00:26:21.519 --> 00:26:24.279
<v Speaker 5>to coach everyone, to build everybody up, because that's the

572
00:26:24.319 --> 00:26:25.759
<v Speaker 5>only way it's going to I believe it's gonna work.

573
00:26:26.200 --> 00:26:29.000
<v Speaker 3>It's a bit of a loaded question, but you obviously

574
00:26:29.160 --> 00:26:32.000
<v Speaker 3>you know so I'm very enthusiastic, very fired up. How

575
00:26:32.079 --> 00:26:33.640
<v Speaker 3>much of this is work and how much of this

576
00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:34.960
<v Speaker 3>is fun?

577
00:26:35.079 --> 00:26:35.279
<v Speaker 10>For you?

578
00:26:37.519 --> 00:26:40.599
<v Speaker 5>All of it's fun. I don't even think I sleep

579
00:26:40.680 --> 00:26:42.839
<v Speaker 5>that night. My coach is like, dude, you always up.

580
00:26:42.920 --> 00:26:45.880
<v Speaker 5>I'm not because this doesn't tire me out. You know, man,

581
00:26:46.160 --> 00:26:48.720
<v Speaker 5>I played football for a long time. But I'm saying

582
00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:51.200
<v Speaker 5>half of my life I played football, and now I

583
00:26:51.319 --> 00:26:53.440
<v Speaker 5>get to coach and I get to be able to

584
00:26:53.480 --> 00:26:56.119
<v Speaker 5>be inspirational to a lot of these kids. So that's

585
00:26:56.160 --> 00:26:58.119
<v Speaker 5>not hard work because I think this is what I'm

586
00:26:58.119 --> 00:27:00.559
<v Speaker 5>supposed to be doing. So it doesn't wear me out.

587
00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:02.720
<v Speaker 5>I know where is. My family are like, you're always

588
00:27:02.759 --> 00:27:05.240
<v Speaker 5>doing this, You're always doing that. For the boys. I said,

589
00:27:05.240 --> 00:27:07.720
<v Speaker 5>I know, but that's not it's not tiring me out.

590
00:27:07.799 --> 00:27:10.799
<v Speaker 5>It's what I do. I get so a lot of them.

591
00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:12.599
<v Speaker 5>To me, it's fun and being able to see these

592
00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:16.200
<v Speaker 5>kids reach their goal, you know, go out and like coach,

593
00:27:16.240 --> 00:27:17.480
<v Speaker 5>I want to get strong in the weight room and

594
00:27:17.519 --> 00:27:19.559
<v Speaker 5>see them reach their goal in the weight room. Hey,

595
00:27:19.559 --> 00:27:21.640
<v Speaker 5>I want to make all as reach their goal in

596
00:27:21.680 --> 00:27:25.279
<v Speaker 5>the uh you know, in school. To me, that's it's

597
00:27:25.359 --> 00:27:27.359
<v Speaker 5>all worth it, you know what I'm saying. So again,

598
00:27:27.400 --> 00:27:29.519
<v Speaker 5>it's not work. I think this is this is a

599
00:27:29.599 --> 00:27:31.920
<v Speaker 5>good time. This is all fun for me. I going

600
00:27:31.960 --> 00:27:34.279
<v Speaker 5>out to tunnel with them. It brings back the memories

601
00:27:34.319 --> 00:27:37.119
<v Speaker 5>when I was playing. So to me, it's all fun

602
00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:39.279
<v Speaker 5>and games. That's why you always see me smiling and

603
00:27:39.359 --> 00:27:41.799
<v Speaker 5>I'm always excited to get to talk about the tigers.

604
00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:43.920
<v Speaker 5>So I'm always down to talk about it.

605
00:27:44.319 --> 00:27:46.200
<v Speaker 3>Well wait a minute, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta

606
00:27:46.240 --> 00:27:48.359
<v Speaker 3>call you out on this because I'm you know, looking

607
00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:51.480
<v Speaker 3>for pictures for you for our social media that we

608
00:27:51.599 --> 00:27:53.640
<v Speaker 3>posted that you look mean in all your pictures. You're

609
00:27:53.720 --> 00:27:56.319
<v Speaker 3>not smiling. I don't know what you're saying about you

610
00:27:56.440 --> 00:28:02.400
<v Speaker 3>smiling day like you look scary. You know you look

611
00:28:02.680 --> 00:28:04.200
<v Speaker 3>you know who you remind me of having those pictures

612
00:28:04.279 --> 00:28:06.559
<v Speaker 3>Calvin Fan and he was one of the meanest football

613
00:28:06.559 --> 00:28:09.359
<v Speaker 3>players we ever ever passed through Tucson.

614
00:28:09.960 --> 00:28:13.079
<v Speaker 5>Maybe it's the stern look, it's the Cowboys. I'm another

615
00:28:13.279 --> 00:28:15.599
<v Speaker 5>nice guy. I don't. I don't one thing I pride

616
00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:17.359
<v Speaker 5>myself on. I don't have to yell at the guys.

617
00:28:17.359 --> 00:28:19.400
<v Speaker 5>I don't have to purse them out. I don't have

618
00:28:19.480 --> 00:28:21.160
<v Speaker 5>to do any of that. I'm like the nice guy.

619
00:28:21.559 --> 00:28:23.160
<v Speaker 5>I'm the one that's saving them from all the other

620
00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:25.519
<v Speaker 5>coaches like I'm here, man, let me talk to you.

621
00:28:28.720 --> 00:28:30.519
<v Speaker 5>I don't know what you mean. And the pictures maybe

622
00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:31.680
<v Speaker 5>just the camera getting.

623
00:28:31.400 --> 00:28:33.400
<v Speaker 3>The bad as well.

624
00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:36.319
<v Speaker 2>The funny thing about it, good coaching programs have the

625
00:28:36.880 --> 00:28:38.319
<v Speaker 2>good guy and the bad guy, or do you know

626
00:28:38.440 --> 00:28:40.240
<v Speaker 2>you what I'm saying, the guy who brings the hammer

627
00:28:40.279 --> 00:28:42.359
<v Speaker 2>and the other guys who kind of sues them. So

628
00:28:42.440 --> 00:28:44.599
<v Speaker 2>you're the good guy, and that's I'm.

629
00:28:44.400 --> 00:28:46.480
<v Speaker 5>The good guy. I threw there, I threwed it all over,

630
00:28:47.039 --> 00:28:48.720
<v Speaker 5>you know what I'm saying. But but when I do

631
00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:51.519
<v Speaker 5>get stern with them sometimes I have to, and they

632
00:28:51.680 --> 00:28:53.200
<v Speaker 5>know I mean business. You know what I'm saying, And

633
00:28:53.599 --> 00:28:55.799
<v Speaker 5>like I said, I believe I played the I played

634
00:28:55.839 --> 00:28:57.799
<v Speaker 5>the sport now out of ten. A lot of those

635
00:28:57.880 --> 00:28:59.759
<v Speaker 5>kids are out there because they want to be out there,

636
00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:01.480
<v Speaker 5>So why make it hard, you know what I'm saying.

637
00:29:01.759 --> 00:29:04.160
<v Speaker 5>The cutting them out and doing all that, they ain't

638
00:29:04.200 --> 00:29:06.519
<v Speaker 5>doing nothing for him. So I try to love on them.

639
00:29:06.559 --> 00:29:08.519
<v Speaker 5>I try to show them that, hey, I love you

640
00:29:08.599 --> 00:29:10.039
<v Speaker 5>out here. Man, I'm trying to push you to be

641
00:29:10.119 --> 00:29:11.799
<v Speaker 5>the best you are. And a lot of them they

642
00:29:11.880 --> 00:29:13.799
<v Speaker 5>respond to it, you know what I'm saying. They come

643
00:29:13.880 --> 00:29:15.960
<v Speaker 5>to me when a coach today is not today. Hey man,

644
00:29:16.000 --> 00:29:18.039
<v Speaker 5>take a day off today Today it might not be today.

645
00:29:18.119 --> 00:29:20.519
<v Speaker 5>Take today off, come back tomorrow. We'll try it again,

646
00:29:20.519 --> 00:29:22.000
<v Speaker 5>you know what I'm saying. So I'm just here trying

647
00:29:22.039 --> 00:29:23.599
<v Speaker 5>to love on them. And I think they respect that

648
00:29:23.720 --> 00:29:25.880
<v Speaker 5>I respect them as a person, you know what I'm saying.

649
00:29:25.920 --> 00:29:28.119
<v Speaker 5>And I think that that bond I have with my

650
00:29:28.240 --> 00:29:30.960
<v Speaker 5>kids is the reason why they keep coming out every year.

651
00:29:31.359 --> 00:29:33.000
<v Speaker 2>So let me go back to a question that we

652
00:29:33.119 --> 00:29:36.039
<v Speaker 2>asked and I'm hoping, well, you may have answered it.

653
00:29:36.279 --> 00:29:38.279
<v Speaker 2>So you're you're taking on South Point. You're going after

654
00:29:38.359 --> 00:29:41.759
<v Speaker 2>the guys to show them how good they are. And

655
00:29:41.880 --> 00:29:43.240
<v Speaker 2>you said, you know, in order to be the best,

656
00:29:43.319 --> 00:29:46.039
<v Speaker 2>you have to beat the best, but sometimes that Backfirst

657
00:29:46.279 --> 00:29:48.400
<v Speaker 2>you get to play the team and then you get

658
00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:51.480
<v Speaker 2>beat or whatever. You're not afraid apparently you're not afraid

659
00:29:51.519 --> 00:29:54.079
<v Speaker 2>of losing the kids right away. We talked about this

660
00:29:54.200 --> 00:29:56.880
<v Speaker 2>with the Penn State ninety eight. Yeah, where Arizona was,

661
00:29:56.920 --> 00:29:58.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, had reached the top and kind of felt

662
00:29:58.519 --> 00:30:00.200
<v Speaker 2>like they were in the top four, top five. We're

663
00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:02.160
<v Speaker 2>in the top four, top tip went to Penn State

664
00:30:02.240 --> 00:30:03.880
<v Speaker 2>and got their ass kind of to them and that

665
00:30:04.039 --> 00:30:06.039
<v Speaker 2>kind of just changed the trajectory of the season.

666
00:30:07.839 --> 00:30:10.200
<v Speaker 5>Well, yeah, what you do. And like, like you said,

667
00:30:10.200 --> 00:30:12.039
<v Speaker 5>I don't think it a backfire to me as a

668
00:30:12.119 --> 00:30:15.519
<v Speaker 5>teaching moment. Maybe we wasn't ready or what did we

669
00:30:15.720 --> 00:30:18.200
<v Speaker 5>do you know that cost us to lose that game?

670
00:30:18.279 --> 00:30:20.240
<v Speaker 5>Like last year we lost, and I think we lost

671
00:30:20.279 --> 00:30:22.839
<v Speaker 5>the next three or four games and then boom it clicked.

672
00:30:22.880 --> 00:30:24.519
<v Speaker 5>We went on a five game winn the Street still

673
00:30:24.559 --> 00:30:27.079
<v Speaker 5>make the playoffs, you know what I'm saying. So it

674
00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:28.920
<v Speaker 5>all depends on how you look at it. I looked

675
00:30:28.960 --> 00:30:30.960
<v Speaker 5>at as a teaching moment, what were the things that

676
00:30:31.039 --> 00:30:32.519
<v Speaker 5>we did right? A lot of the reason why we

677
00:30:32.599 --> 00:30:34.839
<v Speaker 5>lost that game last year. It wasn't what they were doing,

678
00:30:34.880 --> 00:30:36.839
<v Speaker 5>it was what we were doing to ourselves. You know,

679
00:30:36.960 --> 00:30:39.359
<v Speaker 5>the pymanties to self inflicted wounds. That's not going to

680
00:30:39.400 --> 00:30:41.440
<v Speaker 5>help you be a good team, you know what I'm saying.

681
00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:44.480
<v Speaker 5>Or doing your own thing out there, that's not going

682
00:30:44.559 --> 00:30:46.200
<v Speaker 5>to help us be the good team. You know, when

683
00:30:46.240 --> 00:30:47.759
<v Speaker 5>you want to be a good team, you got to

684
00:30:47.799 --> 00:30:50.720
<v Speaker 5>be structure. You got to be sound defensively and offensively.

685
00:30:50.839 --> 00:30:53.400
<v Speaker 5>And I'm trying. I believe that me and the coaching

686
00:30:53.440 --> 00:30:56.079
<v Speaker 5>staff were coaching our guys to be that way. So

687
00:30:56.960 --> 00:30:58.960
<v Speaker 5>you can't say it backfire, But I don't look at

688
00:30:59.000 --> 00:31:00.720
<v Speaker 5>his backflie. I think it was a teach moment and

689
00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:03.079
<v Speaker 5>I think we learned from it this offseason, and I

690
00:31:03.200 --> 00:31:04.839
<v Speaker 5>think we were ready this year to show the world

691
00:31:04.880 --> 00:31:07.400
<v Speaker 5>that dang Miranda is pretty good, you know, saying so.

692
00:31:09.799 --> 00:31:11.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, good for You're talking to Philip Stewart, head football

693
00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:15.039
<v Speaker 3>coach at Miranda High School. So you are the football coach,

694
00:31:15.160 --> 00:31:17.920
<v Speaker 3>but uh, we see you're doing a media day for

695
00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:20.599
<v Speaker 3>all of your all of your fall sports at Miranda.

696
00:31:20.640 --> 00:31:23.279
<v Speaker 3>Tell us a little bit about you know where that came,

697
00:31:23.319 --> 00:31:25.559
<v Speaker 3>about why you're doing that and what you expect to

698
00:31:25.680 --> 00:31:27.359
<v Speaker 3>get out of it, if any man anything.

699
00:31:27.400 --> 00:31:30.799
<v Speaker 5>So for me me, I don't ever just think about

700
00:31:30.799 --> 00:31:33.279
<v Speaker 5>my football players. I'm the te coach here. I also

701
00:31:33.400 --> 00:31:35.759
<v Speaker 5>coached track here, so I work with a lot of

702
00:31:35.920 --> 00:31:40.279
<v Speaker 5>different athletes daily. And my my me as a a

703
00:31:40.359 --> 00:31:42.720
<v Speaker 5>person is we have a lot of good athletes here

704
00:31:42.759 --> 00:31:46.720
<v Speaker 5>at Miranda, and I believe putting them on that pedal stool,

705
00:31:46.920 --> 00:31:49.279
<v Speaker 5>like come having guys come out for the media day

706
00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:51.920
<v Speaker 5>to interview all these different athletes that we have here,

707
00:31:52.279 --> 00:31:54.319
<v Speaker 5>it's not only good for their sport, but it's good

708
00:31:54.359 --> 00:31:56.680
<v Speaker 5>for them, you know what I'm saying. Like you wouldn't

709
00:31:56.720 --> 00:31:59.079
<v Speaker 5>even know that we have a top five swimmer in

710
00:31:59.160 --> 00:32:02.000
<v Speaker 5>the state, or top five golf player or top five

711
00:32:02.400 --> 00:32:05.079
<v Speaker 5>you know, cross country like team. Like people wouldn't even

712
00:32:05.079 --> 00:32:07.920
<v Speaker 5>know that because football overshadows a lot of it. So

713
00:32:08.160 --> 00:32:10.119
<v Speaker 5>me going into it, I'm like, how about we do

714
00:32:10.200 --> 00:32:12.000
<v Speaker 5>this for all the sports? You know what I'm saying.

715
00:32:12.039 --> 00:32:15.160
<v Speaker 5>Let's let everybody be on top. Let everybody be the

716
00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:16.920
<v Speaker 5>face of the Miranda, you know what I'm saying. So

717
00:32:17.079 --> 00:32:18.440
<v Speaker 5>that's kind of how I look at it. And even

718
00:32:18.440 --> 00:32:21.200
<v Speaker 5>the football players, like, hey invite the flag, football girls

719
00:32:21.240 --> 00:32:24.079
<v Speaker 5>and you know they always trying to include everybody, because

720
00:32:24.079 --> 00:32:25.839
<v Speaker 5>that's the one thing I always do. I don't ever

721
00:32:25.920 --> 00:32:29.440
<v Speaker 5>let nobody not include somebody. I'm all about the inclusion.

722
00:32:29.519 --> 00:32:32.319
<v Speaker 5>So I think the football players just rubbing off on them, like, hey,

723
00:32:32.400 --> 00:32:34.920
<v Speaker 5>let's include everybody for our media day and make it

724
00:32:35.000 --> 00:32:37.559
<v Speaker 5>a big Morana thing, you know what I'm saying. Eventually,

725
00:32:37.640 --> 00:32:40.079
<v Speaker 5>I'm hoping it grows that big. But like I said,

726
00:32:40.079 --> 00:32:42.000
<v Speaker 5>I can only do so much. And I got a

727
00:32:42.039 --> 00:32:44.759
<v Speaker 5>few people that's gonna come out on Thursday and do

728
00:32:44.880 --> 00:32:46.480
<v Speaker 5>the media day. And I have a few coaches that's

729
00:32:46.480 --> 00:32:48.359
<v Speaker 5>going to send a few players to try to put

730
00:32:48.400 --> 00:32:50.680
<v Speaker 5>their players voice out there, like you know what I'm saying,

731
00:32:50.720 --> 00:32:53.640
<v Speaker 5>hopefully draw bigger crowds to their games or to their sports. So,

732
00:32:54.119 --> 00:32:56.319
<v Speaker 5>like I said, we all work together here, and I

733
00:32:56.519 --> 00:32:59.720
<v Speaker 5>trained all these different athletes here, so why not want

734
00:32:59.799 --> 00:33:01.079
<v Speaker 5>all let him to be a part of this.

735
00:33:01.279 --> 00:33:02.680
<v Speaker 3>All you have to do is give him that look

736
00:33:03.079 --> 00:33:04.839
<v Speaker 3>and say come and.

737
00:33:06.359 --> 00:33:09.000
<v Speaker 5>Give it in the class. Now they think I'm hard

738
00:33:09.039 --> 00:33:11.759
<v Speaker 5>on them. My boys think I'm so easy on all

739
00:33:11.759 --> 00:33:14.759
<v Speaker 5>the other players. So I'm hard on all of them.

740
00:33:14.920 --> 00:33:16.440
<v Speaker 3>So let me ask you. I could be wrong.

741
00:33:16.920 --> 00:33:19.559
<v Speaker 2>You have somebody going big time to the Division one.

742
00:33:19.640 --> 00:33:21.359
<v Speaker 2>Did someone commit for your program?

743
00:33:22.279 --> 00:33:24.759
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, so Dednel Roebuck right now is committed to the

744
00:33:24.880 --> 00:33:29.119
<v Speaker 5>University of Washington. You know, I still don't believe a

745
00:33:29.200 --> 00:33:32.079
<v Speaker 5>lot of people understand how big that is, you know

746
00:33:32.119 --> 00:33:34.039
<v Speaker 5>what I'm saying. I think they just launt just another

747
00:33:34.079 --> 00:33:37.039
<v Speaker 5>offer because he has a few of them, but then

748
00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:40.200
<v Speaker 5>offered to one of those P five schools. It's huge,

749
00:33:40.480 --> 00:33:43.200
<v Speaker 5>and I don't think a lot of people really understand that,

750
00:33:43.279 --> 00:33:45.359
<v Speaker 5>you know what I'm saying. Me growing up in Texas,

751
00:33:45.880 --> 00:33:47.920
<v Speaker 5>you know, having those offers like that, it was like

752
00:33:48.160 --> 00:33:49.960
<v Speaker 5>it's huge, Like you send to go get your school

753
00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:52.759
<v Speaker 5>paid for, You're you're putting yourself in a rim with

754
00:33:52.880 --> 00:33:56.559
<v Speaker 5>other players that you know what I'm saying. To be honest,

755
00:33:56.839 --> 00:33:59.160
<v Speaker 5>I don't even think the people out of school understand

756
00:33:59.720 --> 00:34:02.240
<v Speaker 5>what's happening right now. They're walking with a guy that

757
00:34:02.400 --> 00:34:04.720
<v Speaker 5>can potentially go play in the NFL, and they're looking

758
00:34:04.759 --> 00:34:07.240
<v Speaker 5>at him every single day, speaking and talking to him

759
00:34:07.240 --> 00:34:09.199
<v Speaker 5>every single day, and I don't even think they know

760
00:34:09.360 --> 00:34:12.280
<v Speaker 5>this guy is gonna be one of those guys one day.

761
00:34:13.559 --> 00:34:16.480
<v Speaker 3>Awesome, that's that's terrific, But it's.

762
00:34:16.480 --> 00:34:19.400
<v Speaker 5>Very oftome and I tell him all the time, like, hey, dude,

763
00:34:19.440 --> 00:34:21.400
<v Speaker 5>it's not a lot of people that gets this. It's

764
00:34:21.480 --> 00:34:25.000
<v Speaker 5>not something that happens every day for people. Because I said,

765
00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:27.159
<v Speaker 5>if you think about it, it's almost for twenty five

766
00:34:27.239 --> 00:34:29.639
<v Speaker 5>hundred kids here, and we got one guy going to

767
00:34:29.760 --> 00:34:32.480
<v Speaker 5>the University of Washington. That's how hard it is. You

768
00:34:32.519 --> 00:34:34.559
<v Speaker 5>know what I'm saying, Like, that's how rare it is, right,

769
00:34:34.679 --> 00:34:35.840
<v Speaker 5>And like I said, I don't think a lot of

770
00:34:35.880 --> 00:34:38.679
<v Speaker 5>people really understand how rare that is for him to

771
00:34:38.800 --> 00:34:40.679
<v Speaker 5>have that. So I always tell him to like, hey,

772
00:34:41.119 --> 00:34:42.880
<v Speaker 5>keep working, because you're going to be one of them

773
00:34:42.920 --> 00:34:44.760
<v Speaker 5>guys that we look back, like, hey, I went to

774
00:34:44.840 --> 00:34:47.519
<v Speaker 5>school with him, right, Like I used to coach that guy.

775
00:34:47.559 --> 00:34:49.000
<v Speaker 5>He's going to get dressed in their.

776
00:34:50.639 --> 00:34:53.599

831
00:37:27.679 --> 00:37:32.079
<v Speaker 2>Jay Jay, this is football, the same backgammon. There was

832
00:37:32.119 --> 00:37:34.239
<v Speaker 2>a fight, Yeah, there was a There was a fight

833
00:37:34.320 --> 00:37:38.199
<v Speaker 2>this weekend. Fantastic fight Saturday night on ESPN, uh and

834
00:37:38.440 --> 00:37:41.639
<v Speaker 2>UFC two and somewhere else, uh that I saw and

835
00:37:41.920 --> 00:37:44.119
<v Speaker 2>it was. It went twelve rounds. It was a brutal one.

836
00:37:44.159 --> 00:37:46.880
<v Speaker 2>It was fun to watch. I'm sure one dude didn't

837
00:37:46.920 --> 00:37:49.239
<v Speaker 2>have his his left hand. He hurt his left hand

838
00:37:49.280 --> 00:37:51.559
<v Speaker 2>like in the fifth round, so he's slugging with one hand.

839
00:37:51.800 --> 00:37:53.519
<v Speaker 2>And one of the great lines from that fight at

840
00:37:53.559 --> 00:37:59.480
<v Speaker 2>the end was you don't play boxing. You don't play boxing.

841
00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:03.159
<v Speaker 2>You don't play boxing. Right, this is a job, man,

842
00:38:03.320 --> 00:38:05.280
<v Speaker 2>And if you're getting your ask kick there, you're kicking

843
00:38:05.320 --> 00:38:08.760
<v Speaker 2>somebody else's ask. That's what you're paid to do. You

844
00:38:08.840 --> 00:38:11.280
<v Speaker 2>don't play boxing. What a fantastic line.

845
00:38:11.599 --> 00:38:16.599
<v Speaker 3>That is kind of funny. You know, I stopped boxing,

846
00:38:16.639 --> 00:38:18.599
<v Speaker 3>so I don't really you know, pay much attention you know,

847
00:38:18.800 --> 00:38:20.960
<v Speaker 3>I was again one of those guys who loved the Heyday.

848
00:38:21.239 --> 00:38:23.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah right, yeah, well it was great. And I think

849
00:38:23.360 --> 00:38:25.679
<v Speaker 3>the last time I really watched a lot of boxing

850
00:38:25.920 --> 00:38:28.599
<v Speaker 3>was as far back as when you know, Marvin Hagler's

851
00:38:28.599 --> 00:38:31.559
<v Speaker 3>Sugar Ras and that's been a while. Tommy, hearns all

852
00:38:31.559 --> 00:38:31.920
<v Speaker 3>those guys.

853
00:38:32.519 --> 00:38:34.639
<v Speaker 2>I run into certain things. So I told you about

854
00:38:34.719 --> 00:38:37.800
<v Speaker 2>all the Tyson thing, right to take a look at that.

855
00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:40.039
<v Speaker 2>For that, I'm trying to get one of the documentary

856
00:38:40.119 --> 00:38:42.559
<v Speaker 2>guys on the show. He went to New Mexico State.

857
00:38:42.599 --> 00:38:44.760
<v Speaker 2>He's in New York down. Uh. He was at New

858
00:38:44.800 --> 00:38:46.679
<v Speaker 2>Mexicoated about six years before I was, So I'm trying

859
00:38:46.679 --> 00:38:47.119
<v Speaker 2>to get him on.

860
00:38:47.480 --> 00:38:47.599
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

861
00:38:47.920 --> 00:38:50.639
<v Speaker 2>And then they had the Muhammad Ali PBS Muhammad Ali

862
00:38:50.800 --> 00:38:53.400
<v Speaker 2>kind of feature, which was fantastic too. There were certain

863
00:38:53.400 --> 00:38:56.760
<v Speaker 2>things that I followed him forever, just about him and

864
00:38:56.880 --> 00:39:00.360
<v Speaker 2>his his life and you know, the Parkinson stuff, and

865

868
00:39:08.920 --> 00:39:11.679
<v Speaker 2>Interesting, yeah, to the very end. Yeah, you know, he

869
00:39:11.800 --> 00:39:15.079
<v Speaker 2>became a humanitarian at the end, and he probably shouldn't

870
00:39:15.079 --> 00:39:17.960
<v Speaker 2>have fought maybe half a dozen times after he was done.

871
00:39:18.079 --> 00:39:21.199
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but he did. Yeah, you know, the only time

872

915
00:41:17.800 --> 00:41:20.920
<v Speaker 3>impact for not just Phoenix, but the state of Arizona,

916
00:41:21.599 --> 00:41:26.559
<v Speaker 3>according to a study done by an Asu. An ASU

917
00:41:27.679 --> 00:41:34.880
<v Speaker 3>study ye in the Sidemen Research Institute at ASU. It

918
00:41:35.079 --> 00:41:38.000
<v Speaker 3>was four hundred twenty nine million dollars, which was more

919
00:41:38.119 --> 00:41:44.079
<v Speaker 3>than one hundred million dollars more than what the twenty

920
00:41:44.159 --> 00:41:48.000
<v Speaker 3>seventeen Final Four, which had an impact of three hundred

921
00:41:48.000 --> 00:41:50.840
<v Speaker 3>and twenty four million. It's when it was held here,

922
00:41:51.039 --> 00:41:51.280
<v Speaker 3>So what.

923
00:41:51.400 --> 00:41:53.760
<v Speaker 2>Well in today's dollars too. I mean you you were

924
00:41:53.800 --> 00:41:57.039
<v Speaker 2>able to see it differently than I saw it. And

925
00:41:57.159 --> 00:41:59.519
<v Speaker 2>I say that because I stayed in the Glendale area

926
00:41:59.559 --> 00:42:02.039
<v Speaker 2>for four day whatever it was, and you know how

927
00:42:02.119 --> 00:42:05.239
<v Speaker 2>much I didn't like. I don't like the separation right

928
00:42:05.360 --> 00:42:08.119
<v Speaker 2>with the fund down there downtown and the games over here.

929
00:42:08.519 --> 00:42:10.639
<v Speaker 2>For the game is you were able to you had

930
00:42:10.679 --> 00:42:11.159
<v Speaker 2>a place.

931
00:42:11.440 --> 00:42:16.599
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we stayed out and uh yeah, and uh you know,

932
00:42:16.679 --> 00:42:18.840
<v Speaker 3>went into Temp a couple of times for dinner and stuff.

933
00:42:18.840 --> 00:42:20.880
<v Speaker 3>And the place was it was hopping.

934
00:42:21.400 --> 00:42:21.559
<v Speaker 5>You know.

935
00:42:22.000 --> 00:42:24.039
<v Speaker 3>Now we didn't go into any of the Final four events,

936
00:42:24.480 --> 00:42:26.719
<v Speaker 3>but the place was you know, the whole place was hopping.

937
00:42:27.480 --> 00:42:29.639
<v Speaker 3>You know. We went to a sports bar and watched, uh,

938
00:42:30.840 --> 00:42:34.559
<v Speaker 3>the the Iowa women's women's game. The place was jammed.

939
00:42:34.800 --> 00:42:34.920
<v Speaker 10>You know.

940
00:42:35.000 --> 00:42:37.159
<v Speaker 3>It took us, I mean it took us forty five

941
00:42:37.199 --> 00:42:40.920
<v Speaker 3>minutes to get a to get a table, and then uh,

942
00:42:41.159 --> 00:42:43.480
<v Speaker 3>it was it was and then it took service was

943
00:42:43.559 --> 00:42:45.559
<v Speaker 3>slow because it was so damn busy. Right, well, they

944
00:42:45.599 --> 00:42:46.280
<v Speaker 3>were busy as hell.

945
00:42:46.519 --> 00:42:48.760
<v Speaker 2>And my kind of point was too is because the

946
00:42:48.920 --> 00:42:51.519
<v Speaker 2>distance it took you almost an hour to get across town.

947
00:42:52.280 --> 00:42:54.639
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, sometimes to get to the game, to get

948
00:42:54.679 --> 00:42:56.840
<v Speaker 3>to the games, we would hit we were we were

949
00:42:56.920 --> 00:43:00.360
<v Speaker 3>staying not far from the airport, really north of the airport.

950
00:43:02.079 --> 00:43:03.840
<v Speaker 3>We got on the when we hit the freeway, when

951
00:43:03.840 --> 00:43:06.440
<v Speaker 3>we got on the on the ten. It was slow

952
00:43:06.519 --> 00:43:08.559
<v Speaker 3>from there all the way out to all the way

953
00:43:08.599 --> 00:43:10.199
<v Speaker 3>out to the freeway and coming back.

954
00:43:10.400 --> 00:43:14.920
<v Speaker 2>But no, and and people came perdue. Yeah, Purdue came

957
00:43:22.519 --> 00:43:27.480
<v Speaker 3>of seventy four the third largest ever in the final four.

958
00:43:27.480 --> 00:43:29.719
<v Speaker 2>Which were the first two was the first one in Phoenix.

959
00:43:29.800 --> 00:43:33.639

<v Speaker 3>Obviously I had these. I had pretty good seats at

962
00:43:35.960 --> 00:43:36.360
<v Speaker 3>this one.

963
00:43:36.519 --> 00:43:39.559
<v Speaker 2>And my and my first two there at Phoenix. We're

964
00:43:39.639 --> 00:43:41.920
<v Speaker 2>away from the you know court and blah blah blah.

973
00:44:08.920 --> 00:44:11.719
<v Speaker 2>I just wish they all play it in Glendale. And

974
00:44:11.760 --> 00:44:13.039
<v Speaker 2>I don't see why they couldn't have.

975

<v Speaker 3>All everything in Glendale. Well I know, I mean, I

976
00:44:17.920 --> 00:44:19.800
<v Speaker 3>guess Glendale has a convention center. I just don't know

977
00:44:19.880 --> 00:44:20.960
<v Speaker 3>it's big enough to handle.

978
00:44:21.119 --> 00:44:23.280
<v Speaker 2>And there has the football field as a football field

979
00:44:23.360 --> 00:44:26.440

00:44:29.199 --> 00:44:34.559
<v Speaker 2>about that with with our girl Jamie Jamie J Jay

982
00:44:34.639 --> 00:44:35.760
<v Speaker 2>J Perry, Yah J Perry.

983
00:44:35.840 --> 00:44:36.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

984
00:44:36.039 --> 00:44:38.960

985
00:44:39.119 --> 00:44:42.119
<v Speaker 2>to uh Bagnano and yeah, but that was beyond her

986
00:44:42.199 --> 00:44:46.000
<v Speaker 2>control obviously. Yeah, but you all want to stay centralized

987
00:44:46.360 --> 00:44:50.599
<v Speaker 2>New Orleans, San Antonio, Indianapolis. Everything was downtown and everything's fun.

988
00:44:50.719 --> 00:44:52.960
<v Speaker 3>Here's a here's an interesting thing that so the the

989
00:44:53.079 --> 00:44:56.159
<v Speaker 3>one in Houston you have before twenty twenty three, there

990
00:44:56.280 --> 00:45:02.159
<v Speaker 3>was not there was not blown economic impact study, but

991
00:45:02.280 --> 00:45:05.360
<v Speaker 3>it was estimated that the economic impact in Houston was

992
00:45:05.400 --> 00:45:08.079
<v Speaker 3>two hundred and seventy millions. Yes, compared to the four

993
00:45:08.119 --> 00:45:10.920
<v Speaker 3>twenty four, twenty four for twenty nine.

994
00:45:11.760 --> 00:45:14.199
<v Speaker 2>I think the site means something too. You know, Phoenix

995
00:45:14.280 --> 00:45:17.760
<v Speaker 2>people go in March. Yeah, it's not hot, it's nice. Yeah,

00:45:17.960 --> 00:45:19.400
<v Speaker 2>Scott stals around the corner. It was.

997
00:45:19.559 --> 00:45:21.119
<v Speaker 3>You know, it was beautiful the whole the whole week

998
00:45:21.159 --> 00:45:23.440
<v Speaker 3>in there. You know that the Monday of the game,

999
00:45:23.920 --> 00:45:26.079
<v Speaker 3>my son and I went golfing that morning at a

1000
00:45:26.119 --> 00:45:28.280
<v Speaker 3>great time. It was good. It was very cool and

1001
00:45:28.400 --> 00:45:30.519
<v Speaker 3>so yeah, you know, we did a lot of stuff there.

1002
00:45:30.559 --> 00:45:32.360
<v Speaker 3>It was It was a fun weekend, you know, the

1003
00:45:32.400 --> 00:45:34.800
<v Speaker 3>first time, the first Final four that that I worked

1004
00:45:34.880 --> 00:45:37.840

1006
00:45:40.079 --> 00:45:41.599
<v Speaker 3>but we decided we wanted to take it all in,

1007
00:45:42.119 --> 00:45:44.280
<v Speaker 3>got a hotel room and stayed in the area, and

1008

<v Speaker 3>it was it was way more fun. We had a

1009
00:45:45.800 --> 00:45:48.320
<v Speaker 3>great time doing it. I know when they'll do it again, but.

1010
00:45:48.719 --> 00:45:52.039
<v Speaker 2>Probably another five years because they're realizing exactly the numbers

1011
00:45:52.239 --> 00:45:54.440
<v Speaker 2>right when you're making four to fifty four sixteen.

1012
00:45:54.599 --> 00:45:58.199
<v Speaker 3>It was they said again in the story says whatever

00:47:15.039 --> 00:47:18.039
<v Speaker 2>time since, and we know how difficult it is. You

1044
00:47:18.119 --> 00:47:19.960
<v Speaker 2>gotta be lucky, you gotta be healthy, you gotta be good,

1045
00:47:20.000 --> 00:47:23.760
<v Speaker 2>all that stuff, and it just hasn't happened for whatever reason.

1046
00:47:23.920 --> 00:47:26.199
<v Speaker 2>You can go back and dissect every game the last

1047
00:47:26.320 --> 00:47:26.960
<v Speaker 2>five ten years.

1048
00:47:27.039 --> 00:47:29.480
<v Speaker 3>Just gotta get hot, Steve, teams get hot. I mean

1049
00:47:29.559 --> 00:47:30.639
<v Speaker 3>who you said?

1050
00:47:30.840 --> 00:47:30.880
<v Speaker 2>Just?

1051
00:47:31.960 --> 00:47:33.440
<v Speaker 3>I mean, who would have thought San Diego State was

1052
00:47:33.480 --> 00:47:35.679
<v Speaker 3>gonna get to a championship game two years ago? And

1053
00:47:35.760 --> 00:47:38.320
<v Speaker 3>they did? True? It just there's just an episode players,

1054
00:47:38.639 --> 00:47:40.079
<v Speaker 3>I know. But a lot of things have to fall

1055
00:47:40.119 --> 00:47:42.159
<v Speaker 3>into place, you know that, and they fall into place

1056
00:47:42.239 --> 00:47:47.199
<v Speaker 3>for someone. Right And now, last year, yes, arguably the

1057
00:47:47.320 --> 00:47:51.800
<v Speaker 3>best team won the championship, right, But did you think

1058
00:47:51.920 --> 00:47:54.920
<v Speaker 3>that the year before when Yukon won it? Yeah, and

1059
00:47:55.159 --> 00:47:57.039
<v Speaker 3>you know, I don't know that you did. I don't

1060
00:47:57.079 --> 00:47:59.639
<v Speaker 3>know that you thought Yukon's the team going in Well

1061
00:48:00.039 --> 00:48:03.719
<v Speaker 3>them in Houston, Houston. So it's it. You know, you

1062
00:48:03.840 --> 00:48:06.480
<v Speaker 3>gotta be good, which Arizona has been. Yeah, all right,

1063
00:48:06.960 --> 00:48:09.159
<v Speaker 3>but then all the things, all the things have to

1064
00:48:09.239 --> 00:48:11.119
<v Speaker 3>fall into place. You got to not have an off

1065
00:48:11.239 --> 00:48:14.599
<v Speaker 3>shooting night by your shooting guard, you know, to to

1066
00:48:14.920 --> 00:48:18.400
<v Speaker 3>to keep winning games and those kinds of things. You know,

1067
00:48:18.559 --> 00:48:21.840
<v Speaker 3>so it and look, you know you didn't think Arizona

1068
00:48:21.920 --> 00:48:24.360
<v Speaker 3>was gonna win it a ninety seven. You know, they

1069
00:48:24.440 --> 00:48:26.639
<v Speaker 3>had first round loss written all over them, and they

1070
00:48:27.000 --> 00:48:29.199
<v Speaker 3>had first and then they and then they almost had

1071
00:48:29.199 --> 00:48:30.519
<v Speaker 3>the first round loss then won damn.

1072
00:48:30.599 --> 00:48:32.320
<v Speaker 2>So what would you take if I give you five

1073
00:48:32.400 --> 00:48:32.719
<v Speaker 2>to one?

1074
00:48:33.320 --> 00:48:37.159
<v Speaker 3>You wouldn't take three to one? Probably not.

1075
00:48:37.840 --> 00:48:40.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's not enough. Yeah, I think it's maybe four

1076
00:48:40.719 --> 00:48:42.480
<v Speaker 2>to one, five to one, five years.

1077
00:48:42.480 --> 00:48:45.239
<v Speaker 3>And five years, Yeah, I think I I yeah, I

1078
00:48:45.480 --> 00:48:47.400
<v Speaker 3>would be I'd I'd be willing to bet the time

1079
00:48:47.480 --> 00:48:48.920
<v Speaker 3>it can get a Final four in the next five

1080
00:48:49.000 --> 00:48:52.960
<v Speaker 3>years because he's what he's what he's established Steve, is

1081
00:48:53.079 --> 00:48:55.960
<v Speaker 3>that he's gonna have good players every year. Yeah, right now,

1082
00:48:56.039 --> 00:48:58.320
<v Speaker 3>the question is does it all come together.

1083
00:48:58.639 --> 00:49:01.599
<v Speaker 2>Well, he's always gonna have anchest chance, always gonna have

1084
00:49:01.639 --> 00:49:04.119
<v Speaker 2>that bunch of chance. And it's funny because last year,

1085
00:49:04.559 --> 00:49:06.679
<v Speaker 2>after after remember he talked to Ball, he talked about

1086
00:49:06.679 --> 00:49:08.519
<v Speaker 2>bollowing what he meant to him, and he was like

1087
00:49:08.679 --> 00:49:10.599
<v Speaker 2>raising his son. He was important to remember that. It

1088
00:49:10.679 --> 00:49:12.800
<v Speaker 2>was a great press conference. I was walking out with

1089
00:49:12.880 --> 00:49:14.280
<v Speaker 2>him with Nate and I said, you know what, you're

1090
00:49:14.280 --> 00:49:16.400
<v Speaker 2>a smart man. I said, you're a smart man. Tommy

1091
00:49:16.719 --> 00:49:18.599
<v Speaker 2>kind of joking with it because he was. He was

1092
00:49:18.719 --> 00:49:20.480
<v Speaker 2>being a dad, pretty much being a dad, and he says,

1093
00:49:20.519 --> 00:49:22.599
<v Speaker 2>you know what, Steve, We're gonna break through this one

1094
00:49:22.599 --> 00:49:23.079
<v Speaker 2>of these days.

1095
00:49:23.119 --> 00:49:23.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

1096
00:49:24.280 --> 00:49:26.320
<v Speaker 2>I think he thought it was gonna happen this year, right,

1097
00:49:26.599 --> 00:49:29.280
<v Speaker 2>And it didn't happen obviously, but but I think so too.

1098
00:49:29.880 --> 00:49:31.880
<v Speaker 2>Over time, it's going to take some patience.

1099
00:49:31.840 --> 00:49:35.199
<v Speaker 3>Right, and again, you know the way teams changed now too.

1100
00:49:35.679 --> 00:49:37.519
<v Speaker 3>You can, as you've said, you can get lightning in

1101
00:49:37.559 --> 00:49:39.480
<v Speaker 3>a bottle, you know, for one year because you got

1102
00:49:39.519 --> 00:49:41.719
<v Speaker 3>the right guys from the portal, you got the right

1103
00:49:41.760 --> 00:49:42.519
<v Speaker 3>guys who stayed.

1104
00:49:42.719 --> 00:49:42.880
<v Speaker 5>You know.

1105
00:49:43.000 --> 00:49:45.639
<v Speaker 3>I as at my breakfast club this morning and there's

1106
00:49:45.639 --> 00:49:48.920
<v Speaker 3>a guy in the club who played basketball in Indiana,

1107
00:49:49.320 --> 00:49:51.039
<v Speaker 3>so he's a big Indiana fan. But he's a big

1108
00:49:51.159 --> 00:49:52.960
<v Speaker 3>u of a fan too. We were talking about doing

1109
00:49:52.960 --> 00:49:55.960
<v Speaker 3>more Bollo and whether or not he fits with, well,

1110
00:49:56.360 --> 00:49:59.800
<v Speaker 3>just just get ready to you know, to grip the

1111
00:50:00.280 --> 00:50:03.000
<v Speaker 3>anytime Bala goes to the free throw line. Right, That's

1112
00:50:03.039 --> 00:50:04.320
<v Speaker 3>not really what I said, but you know what they

1113
00:50:04.320 --> 00:50:08.760
<v Speaker 3>probably said. But you know, and then we got to talk.

1114
00:50:08.880 --> 00:50:10.639
<v Speaker 3>He goes, do you think you know? He asked me,

1115
00:50:10.920 --> 00:50:13.960
<v Speaker 3>are you happy Caleb Love is back? And I said,

1116
00:50:14.000 --> 00:50:15.840
<v Speaker 3>you know, And I sat there and I thought, I said,

1117
00:50:15.840 --> 00:50:18.280
<v Speaker 3>you know, I'm about fifty to fifty on that, because

1118
00:50:18.719 --> 00:50:22.559
<v Speaker 3>how can you not be welcome back to Pack twelve

1119
00:50:22.559 --> 00:50:24.360
<v Speaker 3>Players of the Year. But on the other hand, we

1120
00:50:24.440 --> 00:50:27.760
<v Speaker 3>think about how he finished last year. You know, is

1121
00:50:27.840 --> 00:50:31.800
<v Speaker 3>that Caleb Love gonna come out this year again? Right? Sure?

1122
00:50:32.079 --> 00:50:33.880
<v Speaker 3>But it gets back to the things of all the

1123
00:50:33.920 --> 00:50:35.880
<v Speaker 3>things that have to come together. If Caleb Love doesn't

1124
00:50:36.719 --> 00:50:40.920
<v Speaker 3>shoot as poorly as he did over the last few games,

1125
00:50:41.159 --> 00:50:44.320
<v Speaker 3>five or six games of the season, maybe they win

1126
00:50:44.360 --> 00:50:46.960
<v Speaker 3>a national championship. And so if that doesn't happen this year,

1127
00:50:47.159 --> 00:50:49.079
<v Speaker 3>maybe they do win a national championship. I'm not putting

1128
00:50:49.079 --> 00:50:51.480
<v Speaker 3>it all on him, I'm saying, but you know, all

1129
00:50:51.480 --> 00:50:54.960
<v Speaker 3>those things have to come together, and when they do,

1130
00:50:56.280 --> 00:50:58.239
<v Speaker 3>and you've got the talent to win a national championship,

1131
00:50:58.239 --> 00:51:00.559
<v Speaker 3>then you'll win one. But if they don't, you know,

1132
00:51:01.440 --> 00:51:03.360
<v Speaker 3>it hasn't been coming together for Duke, It hasn't been

1133
00:51:03.400 --> 00:51:06.119
<v Speaker 3>coming together for Michigan State. It hasn't been coming together

1134
00:51:06.199 --> 00:51:08.880
<v Speaker 3>for all these programs. You know, it came together twice

1135
00:51:08.920 --> 00:51:09.320
<v Speaker 3>for Yukon.

1136
00:51:09.519 --> 00:51:11.639
<v Speaker 2>I do think that your fifty to fifty is about

1137
00:51:11.800 --> 00:51:14.679
<v Speaker 2>consistent with the regular general public. Yeah, I believe, because

1138
00:51:15.599 --> 00:51:18.760
<v Speaker 2>he's polarizing. Yeah, he very and that's about fifty to fifty.

1139
00:51:19.000 --> 00:51:21.960
<v Speaker 3>There are people who feel that the way he played

1140
00:51:22.000 --> 00:51:23.639
<v Speaker 3>at the tail end of the season kind of let

1141
00:51:23.679 --> 00:51:27.079
<v Speaker 3>everybody down. And I'm sure he feels bad about letting

1142
00:51:27.159 --> 00:51:30.320
<v Speaker 3>everybody down. It wasn't like he was trying to play bad,

1143
00:51:30.559 --> 00:51:32.760
<v Speaker 3>he just didn't. He went into a slum.

1144
00:51:32.960 --> 00:51:36.079
<v Speaker 2>I do think that because he was told he couldn't

1145
00:51:36.079 --> 00:51:38.119
<v Speaker 2>make it in the NBA this year and maybe done,

1146
00:51:38.800 --> 00:51:41.719
<v Speaker 2>he's got some incentive to be better, right, and not

1147
00:51:42.039 --> 00:51:45.199
<v Speaker 2>better by what he shows, but overall better, right, you know,

1148
00:51:45.519 --> 00:51:48.239
<v Speaker 2>blore games and pru more game exactly because we know

1149
00:51:48.360 --> 00:51:51.159
<v Speaker 2>he can score. Right now, it's maybe score more efficient.

1150
00:51:51.239 --> 00:51:54.039
<v Speaker 2>What else can you get everybody else involved? Because there's

1151
00:51:54.119 --> 00:51:57.239
<v Speaker 2>there's gotta be more to his game, right, That isn't.

1152
00:51:56.920 --> 00:51:59.119
<v Speaker 3>Right he's shown that he's not a good enough shooter

1153
00:51:59.760 --> 00:52:01.719
<v Speaker 3>just just to be like, to be able to be

1154
00:52:02.199 --> 00:52:04.000
<v Speaker 3>able to get in the nbaker. You can improve his

1155
00:52:04.000 --> 00:52:05.480
<v Speaker 3>shooting a little bit, but he's got to be able

1156
00:52:05.480 --> 00:52:08.440
<v Speaker 3>to do other things. He's got to create more and

1157
00:52:08.559 --> 00:52:11.840
<v Speaker 3>better shots. Right, He's got to get open. He's gotta

1158
00:52:12.239 --> 00:52:13.920
<v Speaker 3>he's got to create a little bit.

1159
00:52:13.960 --> 00:52:16.000
<v Speaker 2>And become more of an a sist guy. If I

1160
00:52:16.079 --> 00:52:17.039
<v Speaker 2>see this guy open.

1161
00:52:19.719 --> 00:52:21.039
<v Speaker 3>Right, and guess who has to do that too.

1162
00:52:21.119 --> 00:52:21.320
<v Speaker 10>I know.

1163
00:52:24.159 --> 00:52:29.679
<v Speaker 3>He laughed at that question about because he goes downhill exactly. Okay,

1164
00:52:30.519 --> 00:52:32.079
<v Speaker 3>all right, let's take our break. Where to come back.

1165
00:52:32.119 --> 00:52:33.639
<v Speaker 3>Breaking news coming out to here at the top of

1166
00:52:33.639 --> 00:52:39.920
<v Speaker 3>the hour with Ryan. Sorry I'm rubbing off, so stick around.
