You talked about the 127 00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:23.319 door hitting your ass. We had to say, you know, 128 00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:26.040 Dad said, you know, Ken, Yeah, made your decision that 129 00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:26.560 you make. 130 00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:27.680 Is a good one, good one. 131 00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:31.720 But if it isn't, don't come crying to me, don't 132 00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:33.279 you don't hope you don't have any regrets. 133 00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:36.240 I hope it's a good decision for him, you know 134 00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:38.600 if if they want him over there, and you know, 135 00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:42.680 then they they they've got a plan for him. 136 00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:44.279 Let me ask you because I've been saying that the 137 00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:49.480 last two three days. Uh, I've been saying this that 138 00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:52.800 I think that the kJ thing was an ongoing thing 139 00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:54.920 that you know, he kind of already knew and they 140 00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:58.439 had already pursued, and and Henry too, that this was 141 00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:02.199 this was an ongoing thing for you months that you 142 00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:04.279 know they're they're pursuing, but behind. 143 00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:08.639 The scenes, right, Well, you know how if you know no, 144 00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:10.279 you know, I well, I was going to tell you, 145 00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:12.240 you know how you always hear things after the fact, 146 00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:16.959 right and not nothing related to Henry, But you know 147 00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:18.879 you just heard a few mumblings that you know that 148 00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:20.519 Tommy and kJ, but it heads a bit. 149 00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:22.160 Oh, I would have I would have seen that and 150 00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:23.879 you could see that Okay, so you can you see 151 00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:26.360 that I didn't didn't see it, but you could. 152 00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:29.079 kJ is a strong personality, and then you know and 153 00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:30.680 then you have the coach the text. 154 00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:33.120 Don't forget about the text sending amount to taking them out. Well, 155 00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:35.680 let me say this, because you've been in the business, uh, 156 00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:36.959 and I've been in the business. 157 00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:37.040 A long time. 158 00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:39.560 I'm talking about the newspaper, which is different than this. 159 00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:41.360 And you go to a coach, or you go to 160 00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:45.639 people officials, and you ask because you hear things and 161 00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:50.920 they deny things, right, which is what they do. So so, uh, 162 00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:54.680 do you think that moving to the bench, the story 163 00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:57.680 of moving to the bench because he requested it is legit. 164 00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:01.279 I'm not gonna say Tommy's wrong or kJ is, but 165 00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:02.920 now in retrospect. 166 00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:05.240 In retrospect, to me, it's maybe a little less of 167 00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:09.040 a mutual decision than we were led to believe. 168 00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:11.040 I have to think that me too. 169 00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:13.759 And does it matter not anymore? Not not even then? 170 00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:16.680 But you know what I'm saying, sure, because we hear 171 00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:17.319 all the time. 172 00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:19.720 Right again after the fact, and now that you've got 173 00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:21.639 everything right, you've got all the facts that you know, 174 00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:24.720 you've got the outcome. Now you look back and see, Okay, 175 00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:27.560 what things led to this outcome? And I do believe 176 00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:30.920 that maybe that wasn't as mutual as as we thought, 177 00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:33.480 and maybe kJ wasn't happy about it. 178 00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:35.959 And you, well, you said you've heard things, right, Yeah, 179 00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:38.920 I haven't heard things. I haven't really pried into that situation. 180 00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:43.480 But what you see is what you see, and after 181 00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:44.560 effects is what you see. 182 00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:46.519 Right and then and then you know, you also have 183 00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:49.000 to consider that, you know, Tommy's got this recruiting class 184 00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:52.240 coming in. It looks like it's unbelievable, and so where 185 00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:54.079 does kJ think he fits in there? 186 00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:54.879 Right? 187 00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:56.959 The one thing, the one thing is, and I'll say 188 00:07:56.959 --> 00:08:00.639 this to you because we covered this forever, it seems 189 00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:06.079 like nobody's happy anymore, and not that happiness is. 190 00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:06.040 Is the key to stain or whatever. 191 00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:10.560 There's money, there's happiness, there's playing time, YadA, YadA, But everybody. 192 00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:11.519 Wants to jump anyway. 193 00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:17.600 I would I would characterize it more as nobody's satisfied anymore. 194 00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:23.759 Everybody thinks that there's something more out there, right, meaning money, 195 00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:28.680 playing time, uh, you know, opportunity to get into the 196 00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:32.600 NBA by putting yourself in a better situation, combined with 197 00:08:32.679 --> 00:08:34.759 the ability to do that anytime you want. 198 00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:37.519 And that's kind of life now. Yeah, that's that's what 199 00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:40.200 the kids have grown up with. That, that's that's college 200 00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:42.879 athletics now. And and you know, everybody's got to get 201 00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:44.200 used to it. We say that all the time. 202 00:08:44.679 --> 00:08:48.320 But I think that what you have is that everybody's 203 00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:52.039 got one eye out there looking to see what else 204 00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:54.799 is there for me and if there's something comes along, 205 00:08:55.679 --> 00:08:58.279 you know, loyalty is about tenth on the list of 206 00:08:58.320 --> 00:08:58.679 things that. 207 00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:01.200 Matter to those guys. And that's part of the it's about. 208 00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:03.399 Me, yeah, and that's part of the problem with a 209 00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:05.960 lot of things out there. Yeah, right, you know, do 210 00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:08.039 you really want to go I haven't made here. Maybe 211 00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:10.919 I should stick out, that's not gonna say. 212 00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:13.559 And then let's not forget about the aspect of you know, 213 00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:16.679 people who are whispering in your ear right, you know. 214 00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:18.159 And that's always been the situation. 215 00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:21.120 The funny thing about it is just this week when 216 00:09:21.159 --> 00:09:23.960 you talk about other agents are helping the right and 217 00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:27.480 think back when we did this, you couldn't talk to anybody. 218 00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:28.039 Couldn't talk to an agent. 219 00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:30.080 If you got talk, if you were caught talking to 220 00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:33.759 an agent, you got suspended, You got agents, you got family, 221 00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:37.600 you got friends, you got all kinds of people that 222 00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:39.759 are talking in your ear. So there's so many there's 223 00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:42.279 so much noise out there. I guess what you would 224 00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:42.559 call it. 225 00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:44.720 Well, let me talk to you about this, because because 226 00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:47.440 we when we covered it the way we covered it, 227 00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:50.600 you heard noise, the fan noise. It wasn't unsocial or whatever, 228 00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:53.480 but now there was noise. KG got a lot of noise, right, 229 00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:56.320 Caleb got a lot of noise. Do you think that 230 00:09:56.360 --> 00:09:58.600 plays a little factor? Is that these guys don't appreciate me? 231 00:09:58.600 --> 00:09:59.039 What the hell though? 232 00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:01.559 I want to be here? Of course it does. Kurk 233 00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:03.720 Creefs is a perfect example, you know. 234 00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:05.279 I mean, all the crap that he had to take 235 00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:08.039 from social media and whatnot, why would he stick around? 236 00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:08.679 You know? 237 00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:13.600 And so it's again, it's it's it's life in college athletics, 238 00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:17.360 not particularly football and basketball. And that's what that's what 239 00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:19.799 it is. And what you have to do as a 240 00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:22.879 fan is just understand that's where it is. 241 00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:25.320 Deal with it. Just deal with it. 242 00:10:25.759 --> 00:10:28.279 I was gonna ask you about you talked about kerr 243 00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:31.159 oh oh the kid so a. Now they're making well 244 00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:35.120 eight hundred million dollars. So we talked about this before 245 00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:38.080 when you were here. Most of the time, they're not 246 00:10:38.159 --> 00:10:41.519 they're not amateur athletes, they're not at all. I don't know. 247 00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:44.120 And then I've still held them with kid gloves because 248 00:10:44.120 --> 00:10:47.960 you know, you know, as you do, you do. But 249 00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:50.559 but but I think that's going to start to change. 250 00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:53.759 Well, the line is moved a little bit enough where 251 00:10:54.759 --> 00:11:00.960 you know, I still don't like you know, uh, whoever 252 00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:04.200 it is, you know, a pod a podcaster or a 253 00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:07.360 radio person or something like that, jumping on these guys 254 00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:09.840 in a in a really petty kind of crappy way, 255 00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:13.799 you know, But I think he can be a little 256 00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:15.120 more critical of. 257 00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:20.440 The performance the performance personals, you know, kind of how. 258 00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:24.360 They represent, right. But I think the line on that 259 00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:27.559 has moved. Am I going to go on and rip 260 00:11:27.639 --> 00:11:30.960 a Kylon Boswell because he played blackjack, you know, during 261 00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:32.000 the PAC twelve tournament? 262 00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:41.159 No, but you're not know what because that's not an answer. Well, 263 00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:43.600 what I mean, he was on his own time, so why. 264 00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:44.799 He was under twenty one? 265 00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:48.080 Okay, I'm not going to give him any crap for 266 00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:49.720 anything I did myself. 267 00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:53.639 That's the bottom line. 268 00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:55.000 I did it. 269 00:11:55.080 --> 00:11:57.000 I'm not doing. I'm not giving him you know, I'm not. 270 00:11:58.360 --> 00:11:58.639 I'm not. 271 00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:03.200 I'm not the podcasting cattle, all right, So you know, 272 00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:06.360 but that was just an example, you know I'm talking about, 273 00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:08.360 you know, the type of stuff that that's that I 274 00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:09.279 think is fair game. 275 00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:12.200 Is it fair game to say he hasn't played very well? 276 00:12:12.679 --> 00:12:14.960 You know, you know what's going on, you know, those 277 00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:16.240 kinds of things. 278 00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:18.759 Yeah, right, that's all. That's okay. 279 00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:21.399 But I'm not gonna you know, there aren't going to 280 00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:23.120 be death threats and that kind of stuff. But what 281 00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:25.519 I'm saying is that you're just going the line has 282 00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:27.480 moved a little bit where you can get on them 283 00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:30.799 a little more about performance, because they are getting paid 284 00:12:30.799 --> 00:12:31.240 to perform. 285 00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:33.240 Yeah, and not just a little, I mean a lot. 286 00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:35.080 They're getting pad quite a bit. Some of them game 287 00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:35.799 quite so. 288 00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:37.840 Table For what's going to come up, I think it's 289 00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:39.080 gonna be a pretty good show. Well, I know it's 290 00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:44.720 gonna be. Yeah, yeah, Brian Jeffries today, in the next 291 00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:47.000 five minutes, six minutes, he's gonna be He's gonna be 292 00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:49.360 on the road. He's an issue, a busy, busy man 293 00:12:49.480 --> 00:12:53.080 going from football to basketball to now baseball, baseball. Uh 294 00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:55.159 in Tempe. Uh, So we'll have him with that. We'll 295 00:12:55.159 --> 00:12:57.679 talk a lot about all this stuff. Spring practice. We 296 00:12:57.720 --> 00:13:00.679 have been talking about that spring practice hoops that he's 297 00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:03.279 just finished in another good baseball team that he's now 298 00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:06.759 announcing on. So there's that, and the next hour we're 299 00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:10.120 going to get our old friend Josh Pasner, who last 300 00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:12.639 time we had him on, he was an announcer. 301 00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:12.879 For ESPN. 302 00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:16.440 What we used to think was one of the premier 303 00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:17.879 basketball programs in the country. 304 00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:19.879 I was so happy for him because that seems like 305 00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:23.919 such a perfect fit for him in terms of, you know, 306 00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:27.720 a program it's it's it has a chance to be 307 00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:30.159 a really good program. But he's not going to have 308 00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:33.279 the pressure maybe that you had it say a Memphis 309 00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:36.440 or Georgia Tech. Yes, they want to win, but that 310 00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:38.919 program hasn't been in good shape in quite a while. 311 00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:40.679 It's funny, I was going to ask you if they 312 00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:44.480 can give him some patience or they them being patient right, 313 00:13:44.600 --> 00:13:45.960 that this could work out. 314 00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:48.080 And see, And that's the thing. He's such a likable guy. 315 00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:52.679 You can't even begin to question his work ethic. You know, 316 00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:54.919 he's going to work with his ass off, right, So 317 00:13:55.840 --> 00:13:57.840 you know this is the type of job for him 318 00:13:57.879 --> 00:14:00.039 where it's a great opportunity for him, but it's a 319 00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:01.960 great opportunity for U n LV to get a guy. 320 00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:04.440 He come in, he's already got some chops. He's been 321 00:14:04.440 --> 00:14:07.919 at some some good some good programs, and now he 322 00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:12.200 comes to your program that needs somebody to work at 323 00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:14.120 hard and he will do that. 324 00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:16.679 And we know that he can and he will do that. 325 00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:19.200 I'm christ about his staff. I ask him about his 326 00:14:19.200 --> 00:14:22.960 staff because that's important. That's important, I thought, and we 327 00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:25.440 we know we cover lut right, we followed him forever. 328 00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:27.679 I think one of the things that lut had for 329 00:14:27.759 --> 00:14:29.799 Luke because he could be the hammer and he had 330 00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:33.159 ros as his assistant, who was the sooths there. Right, 331 00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:37.080 I think Josh needs either the hammer or that guy. 332 00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:38.600 You know if I, if I'm here, might have gone 333 00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:46.720 to get Mike Bibby.
