We are 3 00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:08.800 in the midst of the beginning of one of the 4 00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:12.560 biggest snowstorms that we've had all year up in the mountains. 5 00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:15.359 It's gonna be rainy and cold pretty much all day 6 00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:17.920 today and we'll see what happens over the weekend.

It looks like it's 10 00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:28.719 gonna warm up potentially on Sunday and Monday, and then 11 00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:31.199 drop back down in the thirties next week.

All right, 47 00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:25.280 we have got a busy, jam packed show today with 48 00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:29.879 a lot of topics to get to. BYU with a very, 49 00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:33.319 very impressive win earlier this morning. Did you miss it? 50 00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:35.879 Did you know that the game was being played? I 51 00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:39.639 believe it tipped off at ten thirty Mountain time. BYU 52 00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:42.639 ran into a little good fortune as Iowa State found 53 00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:45.800 themselves a little bit banged up today. They were without 54 00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:49.199 Keyshawn Gilbert, who's their second leading scorer, and they were 55 00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:52.159 without the Lipsey kid, who's a two time All Big 56 00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:54.960 twelve point guard. So you could say two of their 57 00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:58.159 three best players did not play, So BYU a little 58 00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:02.000 fortunate to run into a short handed Iowa State team. 59 00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:05.960 But it was a high level basketball game. It was 60 00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:08.599 a high level basketball game played by both teams, and 61 00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:13.479 VYU most likely will advance to play Houston, but Colorado 62 00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:16.759 might have some different ideas. Now, I would be surprised 63 00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:20.159 if this holds up, but Colorado is hanging in against 64 00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:23.319 Houston right now. Houston has a thirty eight to thirty 65 00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:26.800 three halftime lead over Colorado. We'll see what the second 66 00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:30.680 half brings. There's a bevy of college basketball action going 67 00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:32.800 on right now. We will keep you up to date 68 00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:35.520 throughout the course of the show today. One of the 69 00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:37.599 big pieces of news that came down a little bit 70 00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:41.800 earlier is Cooper Flag left Duke's game with a It 71 00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:44.560 looked the replays look horrible, not gonna lie. But Duke 72 00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:48.080 beat Georgia Tech today seventy eight to seventy. They pulled 73 00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:50.199 away in the second half after Tech had a halftime 74 00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:54.199 lead and Cooper Flag sprained his ankle and upon replay 75 00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:56.879 it looked like it was gonna be really bad. Excuse me, 76 00:03:57.439 --> 00:03:59.599 John Shire, the Duke head coach, came out and said, 77 00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:04.000 the rays are negative, so hopefully Cooper Flag's gonna be okay. 78 00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:06.520 Then we'll keep you up to date on all the 79 00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:10.280 basketball going on right now. As it is the madness 80 00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:12.360 of march on the Big twelve side of things. Like 81 00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:15.080 I said, Houston has a thirty eight to thirty three 82 00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:18.480 halftime lead over Colorado and the winner of that game 83 00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:22.319 will of dance on to play byu Utah Jazz with 84 00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:25.040 another loss last night, stop me if you've heard me before. 85 00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:27.600 And yes, they competed, they played hard, all the cute 86 00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:30.480 things were supposed to say. But they lost again. They've 87 00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:33.079 lost nine of their last ten. They've lost seven straight games. 88 00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:36.680 Grizzlies got them last night, one twenty two to one fifteen. 89 00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:41.399 The Jazz were actually up one fifteen to one fourteen, 90 00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:44.000 and then the Grizzly scored the final eight points of 91 00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:46.800 the game and the Jazz move on to yet another loss. 92 00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:50.639 Some more information has emerged about that one hundred thousand 93 00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:54.319 dollars fine that the Jazz were handed yesterday for not 94 00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:59.600 playing lowry marketing for nine straight games, and Jazz have 95 00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:02.959 lost of ten, so of course sitting marketing to help 96 00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:06.279 them achieve their goal of playing pathetic basketball and continuing 97 00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:09.199 to lose. But some more information about how it all 98 00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:11.319 came down and then what could happen next if they 99 00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:14.839 continue to try to kind of play with this rule 100 00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:18.240 that the league implemented back in twenty ten as a 101 00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:21.399 result of Greg Popovich and the San Antonio Spurs constantly 102 00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:24.079 sitting their stars. So we'll get to some of that. 103 00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:27.319 The NFL free agency news is kind of quieted down 104 00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:30.240 a little bit today, but we do know which Utah 105 00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:35.199 football players will be participating in Big twelve NFL Day 106 00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:38.720 coming up March eighteen through the twenty first, So we 107 00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:40.399 do have that list. We'll bring that to you, and 108 00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:42.959 there's one name on the list that a little bit 109 00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:46.199 disappointing if it means what I think it means, and 110 00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:48.079 we'll get to that list coming up a little bit. 111 00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:51.680 Utah Hockey Club was able to get a win last 112 00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:53.920 night again against the Ducks. They're going to take on 113 00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:58.040 the Kraken coming up tomorrow at eight o'clock Mountain time. 114 00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:01.000 That game is up in Seattle, so Utah Hockey Club 115 00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:04.680 trying to hang in that wildcard race. RSL on the 116 00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:07.560 road coming up this weekend at Houston, a road tilt 117 00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:10.639 for RSL after a really really bad start to the season. 118 00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:14.519 And then Utah State in action tonight Mountain West tournament 119 00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:18.279 style against a really really good, upstart Vegas team. You know, 120 00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:20.079 if he's played a lot better as of late. Utah 121 00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:22.040 States the favorite, but we'll see what they're able to 122 00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:25.319 do tonight. So a lot of local stuff going on 123 00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:28.480 on the basketball side, on the hockey side, little pro 124 00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:30.920 football with free agency and the draft on the way, 125 00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:35.560 Little college football with Big twelve Pro Day, Big twelve 126 00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:38.000 NFL Pro Day coming up in just about a week 127 00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:41.319 and a half, and several youth players will be represented, 128 00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:43.800 so we'll bring you that list coming up in a 129 00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:47.319 little bit.

We'll bring 133 00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:00.480 you the latest with that. And then Aaron Rodgers apparently 134 00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:03.120 debating between the Steelers and the Giants. So jam Pack 135 00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:07.120 Show on this Thursday afternoon, as we're live today with 136 00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:09.720 our good friends at Tim Dally.

Putting that on the table, all right. 153 00:07:56.759 --> 00:07:58.360 Our first guest right out of the gates will be 154 00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:01.680 Tony Jones. Tony covers the jazz in the NBA for 155 00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:04.000 the athletic He does do a lot of draft stuff. 156 00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:06.079 And when Tony joined us a couple of weeks ago, 157 00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:10.800 it was the day that Mark Carlin had announced that 158 00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:14.199 he had relieved Craig Smith of his duties, and Tony 159 00:08:14.279 --> 00:08:15.959 was one of the first who said, this has got 160 00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:18.480 to go to alex He's got to go to Alex Jensen. 161 00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:20.879 So we're bringing Tony today now that the news is official. 162 00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:24.000 We'll talk Alex Jensen of the Utes, and we will 163 00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:27.199 also get Tony's take on some of these young prospects 164 00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:30.480 that you guys can watch during March Madness to get 165 00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:33.240 a little bit more familiar as to why the Jazz 166 00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:36.559 are just doing what they're doing, which is unseeriously about 167 00:08:36.600 --> 00:08:39.320 winning to try to get a good pick. After Tony 168 00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:41.799 stops by, the last time we had Josh Grant on 169 00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:45.799 the show, our guy was very salient, He was very poignant, 170 00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:49.000 he was very honest. And now that Josh got his 171 00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:51.200 wish that Alex Jensen is high speed ahead to coach 172 00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:52.879 the Utes, what does he have to say today? He 173 00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:56.519 joins us after Tony stops by behind the Glass segment 174 00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:59.000 that we do every single week to talk some Utah 175 00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:02.080 Hockey Club and some many with Neil Smith, and then 176 00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:05.039 NBA Daily Assist style with one of the celebrity reporters 177 00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:07.840 that joins our show on a regular basis. He is 178 00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:10.639 Dave mcminnimon on a Thursday afternoon and talks some NBA 179 00:09:10.759 --> 00:09:14.840 kind of a lighter night in the NBA tonight last night, 180 00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:18.159 a couple of really fun games. OKC beat Boston and 181 00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:23.120 TD Garden and the Celtics did not play Christaps Porzingis, 182 00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:24.720 so we've got to kind of keep that in mind. 183 00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:27.840 But only five games in the NBA tonight, and that's 184 00:09:27.879 --> 00:09:32.240 really odd for a mid March tilt. The Lakers are 185 00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:34.200 in action, so we'll get with Dave about the latest. 186 00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:35.960 In Los Angeles.

How early do you start watching 209 00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:40.879 the madness this time of year when it's conference championship? 210 00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:43.679 Yeah, I tried to. I try to get all the 211 00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:47.519 games in as far as as conference and the NCAA 212 00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:48.159 Tournament goes. 213 00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:48.399 Now. 214 00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:50.399 Of course some of them are are going to overlap, 215 00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:52.960 a little bit, but pretty much the second my eyes 216 00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:56.519 crack open, man, if there's conference basketball, if there's postseason 217 00:10:56.600 --> 00:10:59.559 basketball on the college or the pro side, it's going 218 00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:03.279 to be at least up and on the television in 219 00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:07.039 some form. So yeah, I've been dialed in tightly. And 220 00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:08.799 of course we had the early tip off with BYU 221 00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:12.679 and Action this morning.

All right, 279 00:13:51.039 --> 00:13:57.080 BYU and Iowa State this morning played a terrific basketball game. 280 00:13:57.519 --> 00:13:59.639 It was high level shot making in the first half. 281 00:13:59.679 --> 00:14:02.919 I was could not miss and BYU did a great 282 00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:06.240 job just to hang in because Curtis Jones was out 283 00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:08.879 of his mind. Now, Iowa State it was announced about 284 00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:11.759 I don't know two hours before tip that they were 285 00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:14.120 going to be without their second leading scorer in Keithshwan 286 00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:17.519 Gilbert and a two time All Big Twelve point guard, 287 00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:20.720 and Tami and Lipsei both those players sat. They're probably 288 00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:24.080 two of Iowa State's three best players, so Brigham Young 289 00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:27.360 with a little bit of good fortune, Iowa State essentially 290 00:14:27.399 --> 00:14:31.320 only played seven dudes. The Damerian Watson kid got five minutes, 291 00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:34.559 but Iowa State was unconscious in the first half, putting 292 00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:37.720 up fifty three, and Byu just kind of held the 293 00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:40.720 fork down and waited for their shot making to kind 294 00:14:40.759 --> 00:14:44.360 of manifest. Richie Saunders is playing his way into the 295 00:14:44.360 --> 00:14:47.639 conversation as the Big twelve Player of the year, and 296 00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:51.720 that's not hyperbolic. Richie was great, he was patient, He 297 00:14:51.759 --> 00:14:54.600 had twenty three points, he had five assists, and he 298 00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:56.639 kind of let the game. What I love about Richie 299 00:14:56.679 --> 00:14:59.440 is he doesn't force anything. He takes what the defense 300 00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:01.960 gives him. He's he's got good size for a shooting guard. 301 00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:05.120 He can elevate as a jump shooter, and he can 302 00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:06.799 get to the ten and finish with force, and he 303 00:15:06.840 --> 00:15:09.159 can guard two or three positions. I now believe Richie 304 00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:12.000 Saunders is an NBA player. I don't think I believe 305 00:15:12.039 --> 00:15:14.080 that to start the year. That had a really nice 306 00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:16.360 game from Kaba Cato who had ten boards and he 307 00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:19.679 had four offensive rebounds, four of eight from the floor, 308 00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:22.200 nine points, a couple of cadd dunks, as you would expect. 309 00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:24.960 Trevin Nell hit all four of his three point shots. 310 00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:27.559 Good to have some shot making that direction. I'll tell 311 00:15:27.559 --> 00:15:31.360 you what though, Jegor Demon continues to struggle against pressure, 312 00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:35.320 and it's a good thing Byu has Dollon Hall as 313 00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:39.320 his backup because Byu had ten turnovers the entire game. 314 00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:42.679 Demon had four of them, and those four turnovers came 315 00:15:42.679 --> 00:15:45.039 in the first portion of the first half when I 316 00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:48.399 always stayed was intentionally pressuring him. I have to wonder 317 00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:51.360 if moving forward, because more likely than not, we'll keep 318 00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:52.879 you up to date on the game that's going on. 319 00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:57.039 BYU is about to play Houston in the semi finals. 320 00:15:57.080 --> 00:15:59.639 That game right now, Houston has a slight lead over 321 00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:03.480 Collar thirty eight to thirty three, and you know, my 322 00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:05.799 guess is Houston's gonna run away from them in the 323 00:16:05.799 --> 00:16:07.799 second half. We'll kind of keep you up to date there, 324 00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:11.639 but BYU is gonna most likely play Houston in the 325 00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:15.320 semi finals, and if they're not ready for that pressure. 326 00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:17.440 Like if Jeger is not ready for that pressure, Dallon's 327 00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:20.120 gonna have to play big minutes. Dallen was really good again. 328 00:16:20.720 --> 00:16:23.039 In twenty six minutes. He had seven assists and only 329 00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:26.799 one turnover. BYU taking care of the basketball last night 330 00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:29.759 like they did you know this morning, against a team 331 00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:32.240 with that type of pressure with only ten turnovers, to me, 332 00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:35.720 is the direct reason they won this basketball game. They 333 00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:37.799 made their free throws. They were eighteen of twenty one. 334 00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:40.240 They made fifty percent of their three point shots, which 335 00:16:40.279 --> 00:16:43.440 is eighteen of thirty six, shot fifty two percent from 336 00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:46.120 the floor, but Iowa State splits or nuts. They shot 337 00:16:46.200 --> 00:16:49.759 fifty six percent from the floor forty three percent from three. 338 00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:52.000 They only shot seven free throws, but they were shooting 339 00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:54.879 a lot of three point shots. The rebounding edge went 340 00:16:54.919 --> 00:16:57.559 to BYU, but only slightly, thirty one to twenty eight. 341 00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:01.399 Brigham Young with twenty four assists, eight steals, four blocks, 342 00:17:01.399 --> 00:17:05.279 and only ten turnovers. That was a high quality basketball game, 343 00:17:05.319 --> 00:17:08.279 and while Iowa State was short handed, they gave BYU 344 00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:11.000 all they wanted. And now you know, we'll have to 345 00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:13.839 kind of wait and see it's another quad win for BYU. 346 00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:16.599 It's their ninth straight win overall, their fifth straight win 347 00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:20.759 over a ranked opponent. Recently two wins over Iowa State, 348 00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:23.640 one on the road, one on a neutral site. They 349 00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:27.640 dumped Truck Kansas, and they beat Arizona at McHale. This 350 00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:29.359 is as good of a BYU team, I think as 351 00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:31.400 we've had here since the Ford stuff. I know, the 352 00:17:31.559 --> 00:17:34.000 twenty twenty team was good, the team last year was good, 353 00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:38.559 but since since Jim Or and that Brandon Davies situation 354 00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:41.559 that unfortunately kind of derailed the whole thing, This to 355 00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:44.440 me is the most talented BYU basketball team that we've 356 00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:47.720 seen in probably eleven or twelve years, if not even 357 00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:50.240 more than that. They've got two NBA guys. By the way, 358 00:17:50.599 --> 00:17:53.000 kenon catching and Sat today again, I think he's missed 359 00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:56.240 six straight games or something. Dawson Baker with some good minutes, 360 00:17:56.279 --> 00:17:59.519 four assists, no turnovers, knocked down a three point shot. 361 00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:02.559 Stewart came in, played good defense, knocked down a couple 362 00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:05.720 of threes. The Boscovi this kid continues to improve as well. 363 00:18:05.759 --> 00:18:09.119 He's in double figures ten points, five rebounds, and BYU 364 00:18:09.200 --> 00:18:12.480 has a rollin. If you're a BYU fan, get yourself excited. 365 00:18:12.519 --> 00:18:14.720 They're playing the right way at the right time of year. 366 00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:17.759 And for Utah fans, you look at this stuff and 367 00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:19.480 you just go, when are we ever going to get 368 00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:23.240 back there? It's been since twenty sixteen since Utah has 369 00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:27.200 made the NCAA tournament. BYU is a lock to make it, 370 00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:29.319 and as they continue to evolve, can they get a 371 00:18:29.359 --> 00:18:32.920 top four seed in the tournament? The only time will tell. 372 00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:36.240 The latest bracketology still has them on the five line, 373 00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:40.079 but BYU marches on to the Big twelve semi finals 374 00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:43.079 where they're most likely got to take on Houston, who 375 00:18:43.160 --> 00:18:45.279 right now has a forty two to thirty three lead 376 00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:48.920 over Colorado.

First guest 400 00:19:55.839 --> 00:19:59.759 on a Thursday afternoon, Tony Jones from the Athletic covers 401 00:19:59.799 --> 00:20:02.559 a well these days a number of different things. In fact, Tony, 402 00:20:02.599 --> 00:20:05.200 how would you characterize your current role with our friends 403 00:20:05.200 --> 00:20:05.880 at the Athletic. 404 00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:10.240 I'm on award door with like in my hand. 405 00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:18.240 Like currently, what do you like? Currently? It seems like 406 00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:20.359 they're using you in a bunch of different ways. So 407 00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:22.039 what's the gig currently, Tony. 408 00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:26.720 Well, right now I'm with Denver, so I'll be with 409 00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:29.160 Denver for the rest of the year. The Jazz are 410 00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:31.720 tanking and Philly is. 411 00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:37.720 So yeah, yes, indeed, yes, indeed. Now, speaking of the 412 00:20:38.359 --> 00:20:42.240 Jazz tanking, yesterday during the show, news drops Tony that 413 00:20:42.279 --> 00:20:46.599 the Jazz have been fined one hundred thousand dollars directly 414 00:20:46.599 --> 00:20:50.799 for sitting lowry marketing, and new information has kind of 415 00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:54.440 emerged where you know, he sat nine straight games. There 416 00:20:54.480 --> 00:20:58.680 was some inconsistency I suppose on the injury report. I 417 00:20:58.680 --> 00:21:01.440 guess some team personnel said some things that the report 418 00:21:01.480 --> 00:21:05.279 said other things. I can understand why Jazz fans would 419 00:21:05.279 --> 00:21:07.599 be a little a little bit confused, Tony, because every 420 00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:10.880 night teams are sitting players. But what are your thoughts 421 00:21:10.880 --> 00:21:12.960 on this and have you been able to uncover exactly 422 00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:13.920 how this all went down? 423 00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:18.319 Well, I mean the thoughts on it are who cares? 424 00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:22.720 I mean, like, the Jazz have a singular goal in mind, 425 00:21:23.640 --> 00:21:26.839 and you know, honestly, if they get anywhere in the 426 00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:29.799 top three of this draft, they're going to be fine 427 00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:34.359 in terms of getting you know, a dynamic draft prospect. 428 00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:38.480 So if they have to incur the six figure fine 429 00:21:38.519 --> 00:21:40.319 to do it, and you know, it comes out of 430 00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:42.480 all it comes out of Ryan Smith's pockets. I don't 431 00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:45.559 want to pocket watch anybody but anything. But you know, 432 00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:47.920 my guess is that one hundred thousand dollars to Ryan 433 00:21:47.960 --> 00:21:52.799 Smith is not very much money. You know, the end 434 00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:56.640 justifies for me in that sense. So you know, I 435 00:21:56.680 --> 00:22:02.079 think Jazz fans. I think Jazz fans and frustration stems 436 00:22:02.079 --> 00:22:06.920 from this, and you know it's because of the infrastructure 437 00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:11.319 of the NBA. You know, how can the Jazz team 438 00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:16.599 build right? So it's hard to team build. It's hard 439 00:22:16.599 --> 00:22:20.039 to team build fundamentally through free agency because it's hard 440 00:22:20.079 --> 00:22:22.799 for a small market light you know, Salt Lake City 441 00:22:23.480 --> 00:22:25.839 or or the Jazz no matter how you know good 442 00:22:25.880 --> 00:22:29.559 the infrastructure of the team is to attract free agents 443 00:22:29.799 --> 00:22:32.680 or elite free agents or elite elite free agents, the 444 00:22:32.799 --> 00:22:37.200 kind of free agents that are programmed changing the trade market. 445 00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:40.519 At this point, it's hard for the Jazz to put, 446 00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:43.519 you know, all of the picks together to trade for 447 00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:47.960 let's just say, for for sake of argument, with Luka 448 00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:53.039 Dancic or Gianna Santetecunpo or whoever. They tried to trade 449 00:22:53.079 --> 00:22:55.920 for Drew Holliday, they tried to trade for Michel Bridges. 450 00:22:56.559 --> 00:23:03.000 You know, the politics behind the scenes. You know, Nick's 451 00:23:03.079 --> 00:23:06.400 at least one of those trades. And by that trade, 452 00:23:06.400 --> 00:23:09.039 I'm talking about the Drew Holiday trade because you know 453 00:23:09.079 --> 00:23:12.640 they were right there for Drew Holliday and Drew you know, 454 00:23:12.680 --> 00:23:14.400 and they were told that Drew Holliday wants to go 455 00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:17.359 to Boston. So it's hard to trade, you know, for 456 00:23:17.880 --> 00:23:22.599 elite guys as well. So now you know the jazz 457 00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:26.079 of finding out that the one avenue of really getting 458 00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:31.000 the guy on the roster is by going through the draft. 459 00:23:31.599 --> 00:23:35.359 And you know now that they're doing what they have 460 00:23:35.480 --> 00:23:38.519 to do, the good, the bad, the ugly in terms 461 00:23:39.079 --> 00:23:42.359 in terms of having to go through the draft. You know, 462 00:23:42.480 --> 00:23:46.400 the NBA has stepped in again and you know, find them, 463 00:23:46.680 --> 00:23:49.079 you know, one hundred thousand dollars, so you know, by 464 00:23:49.119 --> 00:23:51.319 the letter of the law is correct. Larry market and 465 00:23:51.480 --> 00:23:53.880 is has a star designation because he made the All 466 00:23:53.920 --> 00:23:58.839 Star team in twenty twenty three, so you know he 467 00:23:58.839 --> 00:24:01.359 he's not a guy you know by the NBA that 468 00:24:01.759 --> 00:24:04.680 designation that you know just can be sitting out games 469 00:24:04.680 --> 00:24:08.079 to sit out games, but it's still frustrating on some levels, 470 00:24:08.440 --> 00:24:10.680 you know. But like I said, you know, the Jazz 471 00:24:10.680 --> 00:24:12.960 will do it, you know, three or four times over 472 00:24:13.000 --> 00:24:15.440 again if that means getting Cooper Flag or Dylan Harper. 473 00:24:16.000 --> 00:24:19.160 So excuse me. A second offense, they'll be fine two 474 00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:22.240 hundred and fifty thousand. A third offense is one point 475 00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:25.319 two mill and then every offense after that is a 476 00:24:25.359 --> 00:24:27.559 million dollars on top of the one point twenty five. 477 00:24:27.680 --> 00:24:31.240 So the Jazz got wise pretty quick. About five minutes 478 00:24:31.279 --> 00:24:33.960 after the fine was announced, they announced Lowry was playing 479 00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:39.319 last night, and then the entire team wore headbands. So 480 00:24:39.440 --> 00:24:42.559 I believe that was because of Isaiah. I think I 481 00:24:42.640 --> 00:24:46.960 heard Lauren Green say Isaiah Collier took out his braids 482 00:24:48.119 --> 00:24:50.240 last night and then he needed to wear a headband, 483 00:24:50.319 --> 00:24:52.640 so the entire team decided to do that. I think 484 00:24:52.680 --> 00:24:55.160 a lot of people were wondering Tony if they were protesting, 485 00:24:55.200 --> 00:24:57.880 but I don't think that was the headband story. 486 00:24:57.640 --> 00:25:01.240 Right, No, I wasn't a protest. It was definitely it 487 00:25:01.319 --> 00:25:04.640 was definitely Isaiah call you thing, you know, Isaiah waterheadband 488 00:25:04.640 --> 00:25:08.559 and didn't. And then one of the teammates wore headband. 489 00:25:08.599 --> 00:25:11.000 I forget which one, and then everybody just decided to 490 00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:14.440 wear a headband. But it was fun watching Kyle Philipowski 491 00:25:14.519 --> 00:25:18.599 wear a headband because he's got perfect hair, and you know, 492 00:25:18.680 --> 00:25:22.200 to see the hair kind of flying under the headband, 493 00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:24.759 you know, as you flying, you know through the lane 494 00:25:24.799 --> 00:25:26.640 of dunk, you know, and stuff like that. That was 495 00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:28.680 kind of fun as well. And it was kind of 496 00:25:28.720 --> 00:25:30.920 fun watching Lowry wear a headband as well. 497 00:25:32.039 --> 00:25:35.920 I'm trying to picture a young TJ running point back 498 00:25:35.920 --> 00:25:39.559 in the day. I'm thinking, like maybe a Bonzie Wells type. Look, 499 00:25:39.599 --> 00:25:41.880 were you a headband guy at all back in the day? 500 00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:44.799 I never want I've never once to my entire basketball 501 00:25:44.839 --> 00:25:45.720 career warhead band. 502 00:25:45.920 --> 00:25:48.559 Yeah, I is that because it didn't look good or 503 00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:49.200 you didn't want to. 504 00:25:50.079 --> 00:25:51.680 Well, I'm too pretty for that. I didn't even know 505 00:25:51.759 --> 00:25:52.359 her bath. 506 00:25:52.839 --> 00:25:55.839 Red Hot Lover Tone makes his reappearance on the Drive 507 00:25:55.920 --> 00:25:59.000 on a Thursday. I gotta love that, man, gotta love that, 508 00:25:59.039 --> 00:26:02.480 all right. Yeah, I know that we have done this before, 509 00:26:02.519 --> 00:26:05.720 but let's revisit it because I think, you know, jazz 510 00:26:05.799 --> 00:26:09.039 fans clearly understand the deal, even if they don't like it. 511 00:26:09.119 --> 00:26:11.640 They know what the deal is. So let's talk about 512 00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:14.559 some of these prospects that the Jazz are hoping to land, 513 00:26:14.599 --> 00:26:17.200 and we'll just start at the top now. Cooper Flag 514 00:26:17.279 --> 00:26:20.880 left Duke's win today with a sprained ankle. John Shire said, 515 00:26:21.640 --> 00:26:24.039 X rays are negative. And I think since you and 516 00:26:24.079 --> 00:26:28.799 I last spoke, Tony, Cooper has really separated himself even more. 517 00:26:28.839 --> 00:26:30.920 And we'll get to Dylan and Ace and everybody else. 518 00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:34.039 But for Jazz fans, they keep hearing the name Cooper 519 00:26:34.079 --> 00:26:37.279 Flag as they continue to tank to lose on purpose. 520 00:26:37.400 --> 00:26:40.079 What sort of player is he and what would he 521 00:26:40.119 --> 00:26:42.079 mean to the Jazz if they can grab him? 522 00:26:42.960 --> 00:26:47.480 Well, I will say this, he he made a couple 523 00:26:47.519 --> 00:26:52.640 of of real He's got a couple of real accomplishments 524 00:26:52.920 --> 00:26:57.640 this year. You know, you could still be the number 525 00:26:57.640 --> 00:26:59.960 one player in the draft and not be the best 526 00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:04.160 college basketball player in the country. Cooper Flag is the 527 00:27:04.200 --> 00:27:09.079 best college basketball player in the country by miles and 528 00:27:09.240 --> 00:27:16.359 miles and miles and miles and miles. He's had as 529 00:27:16.400 --> 00:27:20.799 good a freshman year as any kid that I've seen, 530 00:27:21.359 --> 00:27:24.039 uh in the last ten years. I think he's had 531 00:27:24.039 --> 00:27:28.039 a better freshman year than than even Zion Williamson did 532 00:27:28.680 --> 00:27:33.400 back in twenty eighteen. You know, every so often the 533 00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:38.240 kid comes along and it's playing college basketball, and you're 534 00:27:38.240 --> 00:27:41.480 looking at that kid and you watch him play and 535 00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:45.200 you think to yourself, he's wasting his time playing college basketball. 536 00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:47.640 He's too good for this level. And Cooper Flag is 537 00:27:47.680 --> 00:27:51.640 too good for this level. He's you know, six foot nine, 538 00:27:52.440 --> 00:27:56.759 he can guard, you know, throughout a lineup. His on 539 00:27:57.000 --> 00:28:04.200 ball skills have improved exponentially over the season. Over the 540 00:28:04.240 --> 00:28:09.160 course of the season, he's you know, figuring out ways 541 00:28:09.200 --> 00:28:11.640 to get a shot off. He's playing the spots. 542 00:28:12.079 --> 00:28:12.240 Uh. 543 00:28:12.440 --> 00:28:16.880 He affects, you know, a game on almost every and 544 00:28:17.319 --> 00:28:20.400 on almost every possession on both ends of the floor. 545 00:28:21.599 --> 00:28:24.200 I think that, you know, he's a guy that I 546 00:28:24.559 --> 00:28:28.480 that that's going to be a perennial All Star in 547 00:28:28.519 --> 00:28:31.119 this league. I think you're going to get him into 548 00:28:31.519 --> 00:28:35.680 two NBA spacing. And you know, truthfully, you know, I 549 00:28:35.720 --> 00:28:40.720 said this earlier in the college basketball season, and you know, 550 00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:43.559 I was kind of flaming for it a little bit 551 00:28:43.599 --> 00:28:47.119 on Twitter. But I'll say it again, and I believe 552 00:28:47.119 --> 00:28:50.759 it now more than even more than I believe that 553 00:28:50.880 --> 00:28:53.720 when I said it in November. He reminds me a 554 00:28:53.920 --> 00:28:57.200 ton of Kawhi Leonard. That's who he reminds me of. 555 00:28:57.279 --> 00:29:00.119 He reminds me of a young Kawhi Leonard. And and 556 00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:03.559 it'll be interesting to see what his journey is because 557 00:29:03.599 --> 00:29:06.000 I think that he's a guy that can be a 558 00:29:06.079 --> 00:29:07.920 very significant player at the NBA level. 559 00:29:08.880 --> 00:29:10.799 All right, excuse me, let's kind of go down the 560 00:29:10.799 --> 00:29:13.200 list a little bit. If the Jazz do not get 561 00:29:13.240 --> 00:29:15.160 the luck that we're all hoping they get and they 562 00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:18.720 snag number one, let's say they fall to two. It 563 00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:22.519 feels like most of the consensus is Dylan Dylan Harper. 564 00:29:23.240 --> 00:29:26.000 He's got a teammate for Rutgers named Ace Bailey, who 565 00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:28.759 will get to in a moment. But let's start with 566 00:29:29.559 --> 00:29:33.400 your thoughts for Jazz fans. If they don't get Cooper 567 00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:35.799 and they fall to number two, do you feel like 568 00:29:35.839 --> 00:29:37.920 it's Dylan Harper? And if so, what kind of player 569 00:29:37.960 --> 00:29:38.160 is he? 570 00:29:39.279 --> 00:29:42.160 No, it would definitely be Dylan Harper if the Jazz 571 00:29:42.799 --> 00:29:46.359 fall to number two. You know, he's a guy that 572 00:29:47.079 --> 00:29:48.960 you know, plays a little bit like Shay gives with 573 00:29:49.039 --> 00:29:52.640 Alexander in terms of the pace that he plays at. 574 00:29:53.440 --> 00:29:56.240 He you know, he knows angles He's a six or five, 575 00:29:56.319 --> 00:29:59.799 six or six left handed point guard, scores it all 576 00:29:59.799 --> 00:30:05.559 three levels, really understands the game, you know, uh, from 577 00:30:05.599 --> 00:30:07.440 an IQ level at a high level. 578 00:30:07.880 --> 00:30:08.000 Uh. 579 00:30:08.079 --> 00:30:11.799 He's the son of Ron Harper. Uh, so we know 580 00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:14.680 how Jazz stands still about those Bulls teams, so that 581 00:30:14.799 --> 00:30:18.319 that would be fun. But he's you know, like I said, 582 00:30:18.359 --> 00:30:21.319 he's left handed. He's a terrific, terrific pick and role player. 583 00:30:21.920 --> 00:30:22.079 Uh. 584 00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:25.000 Plays the game in his own pace. You know, it 585 00:30:25.400 --> 00:30:29.640 doesn't get sped up, which is really rare for a 586 00:30:29.720 --> 00:30:33.759 kid his age, and you know, knows how to to 587 00:30:33.839 --> 00:30:36.319 play the angles, and he knows how to play the spots. 588 00:30:36.799 --> 00:30:37.000 Uh. 589 00:30:37.079 --> 00:30:39.519 He's a He's a guy that you know, I also 590 00:30:39.559 --> 00:30:42.400 think can be a really significant player in this league. 591 00:30:42.400 --> 00:30:44.880 I don't think, you know, I think that Cooper flag 592 00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:49.799 Is is in his uh on his own island as 593 00:30:49.839 --> 00:30:52.960 a prospect in his draft. But I also think that 594 00:30:53.160 --> 00:30:56.440 Dylan Harper is also on his own island as the 595 00:30:56.480 --> 00:30:58.319 second best prospect of his draft. 596 00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:02.599 So then we move over to Dylan's teammate. And it's 597 00:31:02.640 --> 00:31:05.079 just wild that Rutgers has two of the top three 598 00:31:05.160 --> 00:31:08.240 NBA players and they've had a very subpar season. So 599 00:31:08.400 --> 00:31:12.200 recently Dylan missed some time, was out for a few games, 600 00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:14.720 and so Ace Bailey. In one of the games Dylan 601 00:31:14.759 --> 00:31:17.119 was out, Ace put up thirty. And the more and 602 00:31:17.160 --> 00:31:19.319 more you watch Ace Bailey, the more and more you 603 00:31:19.480 --> 00:31:22.279 like him. And he's all sorts of six'. Ten he's 604 00:31:22.279 --> 00:31:25.319 every bit of six.' ten it feels like he's locked 605 00:31:25.359 --> 00:31:29.559 in At. Three tony so If the jazz remain where, 606 00:31:29.599 --> 00:31:33.680 they are they will be in the. Bottom, three therefore 607 00:31:33.680 --> 00:31:36.480 they'll have a fourteen, percent chance like the other, two 608 00:31:36.519 --> 00:31:39.680 teams to grab the number one. Overall pick so we've already. 609 00:31:39.720 --> 00:31:43.319 Talked one now we move, To two so let's move. 610 00:31:43.359 --> 00:31:45.680 To three If the jazz fall, to three do you 611 00:31:45.680 --> 00:31:47.960 Feel like ace is? The pick and, if so what 612 00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:49.160 sort of prospect does He. 613 00:31:50.960 --> 00:31:53.680 Could jazz get the? Three pick that that pick will 614 00:31:53.759 --> 00:31:56.640 be What the jets do is a lot a lot 615 00:31:56.680 --> 00:31:58.720 more ambiguous than what they would do at number one and. 616 00:31:58.799 --> 00:32:00.839 NUMBER two i think that if, they obviously if they get, 617 00:32:00.920 --> 00:32:04.720 number one they're gonna Get take cooper. Number two i'm 618 00:32:04.799 --> 00:32:07.759 ninety percent sure that They'll Take. Dylan harper if they get, 619 00:32:07.799 --> 00:32:09.240 NUMBER three i don't know who they're going to TAKE 620 00:32:09.319 --> 00:32:15.480 because I think i think that, you know the organization 621 00:32:15.680 --> 00:32:20.119 is a lot more torn on a, spelly than, you 622 00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:23.759 know than they are on the. First two and, YOU 623 00:32:23.799 --> 00:32:27.160 know i would agree with. THE organization i think that 624 00:32:27.240 --> 00:32:36.559 there are real positives and negatives towards Taking. As bailey and, you, 625 00:32:36.559 --> 00:32:39.599 KNOW truthfully i, really really really really really Like, dj 626 00:32:39.720 --> 00:32:44.960 ashkhim the Kid from baylor. As well and, you KNOW 627 00:32:45.079 --> 00:32:48.640 so i, think that, you know it would be, you 628 00:32:48.680 --> 00:32:50.960 know kind of a photo finish to who would be 629 00:32:51.000 --> 00:32:54.680 the number three guy? For Me now i'll say This With. 630 00:32:54.880 --> 00:32:57.839 Ace bailey, YOU know i look at, the positives. THE 631 00:32:57.880 --> 00:33:01.319 positives i don't think think there's a better shot maker 632 00:33:01.920 --> 00:33:05.319 in the draft in, terms of, you know in terms of, 633 00:33:06.720 --> 00:33:13.880 contested shots taking, contested shots making. Contested, shots obviously he like, 634 00:33:13.920 --> 00:33:17.960 you said he's every bit of six. Or ten he's 635 00:33:18.119 --> 00:33:21.559 going to score at some point in. His career he's 636 00:33:21.599 --> 00:33:25.880 going to score, twenty five twenty eight points the game 637 00:33:26.200 --> 00:33:27.160 over the course of an. 638 00:33:27.279 --> 00:33:28.279 Entire season. 639 00:33:29.720 --> 00:33:32.200 So we know that the kid can put the ball in, 640 00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:37.359 the basket super athletic for, his size, you know can 641 00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:42.079 really get above the rim and play above. The rim and, 642 00:33:42.559 --> 00:33:44.799 you KNOW and i think. HE tries i think he, 643 00:33:44.920 --> 00:33:48.880 tries DEFENSIVELY and i think, that that's, you know SOMETHING 644 00:33:49.119 --> 00:33:52.000 that i like about him. As well the, problem is 645 00:33:52.559 --> 00:33:54.920 you know that twenty five to twenty eight points per 646 00:33:54.960 --> 00:33:58.079 game that he's going to score at whatever point in, 647 00:33:58.079 --> 00:34:01.480 his career whether it, be two, three seasons, three seasons, 648 00:34:01.480 --> 00:34:05.440 four seasons it's going to come on forty shooting from, 649 00:34:05.440 --> 00:34:08.679 the field and it's going to come on about thirty 650 00:34:08.760 --> 00:34:11.719 to thirty two percent shooting from from three. Point range 651 00:34:12.239 --> 00:34:16.360 he's never going to be an effishing kid because he 652 00:34:16.480 --> 00:34:19.400 takes a ton of, difficult SHOTS and i mean a 653 00:34:19.519 --> 00:34:22.039 ton of, difficult shots and he takes a ton of. 654 00:34:22.079 --> 00:34:27.119 Bad shots he takes a ton of shots from from 655 00:34:27.440 --> 00:34:30.920 eighteen to twenty feet to where he should just, step 656 00:34:31.000 --> 00:34:34.800 back uh two or three feet and, take three or 657 00:34:35.000 --> 00:34:37.920 he should figure out a way to get into the 658 00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:41.320 lane to where his athletics isn't gonna work. For him 659 00:34:41.360 --> 00:34:45.320 the problem is that he doesn't handle the ball very 660 00:34:45.360 --> 00:34:53.039 well for, his size and you know that's why, you 661 00:34:53.079 --> 00:34:56.719 know when you see, social media you see, you know 662 00:34:56.800 --> 00:35:00.239 Comparisons To Michael. Porter junior so, you know people. Like 663 00:35:00.320 --> 00:35:07.199 that so it's going to be interesting to see how 664 00:35:07.239 --> 00:35:10.840 he develops, his game whether he stays the same player 665 00:35:10.840 --> 00:35:14.119 as he, is now or whether he figures out a 666 00:35:14.119 --> 00:35:17.199 way to become a better player than he. Is now 667 00:35:17.760 --> 00:35:20.119 his swing skill for me is going to be his. 668 00:35:20.199 --> 00:35:22.960 Ball handling if he can figure out a way to 669 00:35:23.119 --> 00:35:26.239 get more dynamic off the dribble to where he can 670 00:35:26.280 --> 00:35:30.440 actually start beating people off, the dribble then his efficiency 671 00:35:30.840 --> 00:35:35.599 is going to is going to be better. For it 672 00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:40.239 the other question for me is whether he's a small 673 00:35:40.280 --> 00:35:44.239 forward or whether he's a, shooting guard which is actually 674 00:35:44.320 --> 00:35:46.320 a good, thing because like, you said he's six, foot ten, 675 00:35:47.400 --> 00:35:50.880 you know so he's not a. Basketball kid he's not a. 676 00:35:50.920 --> 00:35:54.119 Shy kid any other thing for me is he never 677 00:35:54.159 --> 00:35:57.000 passes the ball like he's he's. Cam whit more like 678 00:35:57.760 --> 00:36:00.599 in the fact that, you know he doesn't really passed, 679 00:36:00.599 --> 00:36:03.920 the ball. You know so he's got he's got hold 680 00:36:04.039 --> 00:36:07.360 real holes in, his game and he's got real, you 681 00:36:07.400 --> 00:36:12.320 know positives and negatives to his game to where to 682 00:36:12.400 --> 00:36:15.159 where his. Talent level his talent level dictates that he 683 00:36:15.159 --> 00:36:17.400 should probably be the third best player in, this draft 684 00:36:18.400 --> 00:36:20.360 but there are enough holds in his games to where 685 00:36:20.440 --> 00:36:22.000 to where there's a serious question. 686 00:36:22.079 --> 00:36:22.280 Is that. 687 00:36:23.800 --> 00:36:26.280 Excuse me one more jazz. Thing tone then we'll move 688 00:36:26.320 --> 00:36:29.320 on to your thoughts Now That alex jensen is officially 689 00:36:29.320 --> 00:36:32.480 the dead coach Of. The utes Our Friend sarah todd 690 00:36:32.480 --> 00:36:34.960 from The desertt news stopped by the show yesterday and 691 00:36:35.000 --> 00:36:38.920 she wrote a really, good piece but it was also 692 00:36:38.960 --> 00:36:43.599 pretty depressing for. Jazz fans where. Paraphrasing here she described 693 00:36:43.719 --> 00:36:47.639 the past three years as a tear down and essentially 694 00:36:48.559 --> 00:36:53.239 was implying that the rebuild is really, beginning now if not. 695 00:36:53.400 --> 00:36:56.400 Next year and her, assertion IS and i want to 696 00:36:56.400 --> 00:36:59.199 see if. You agree Even If lady luck shines on 697 00:36:59.239 --> 00:37:02.440 the jazz and they Grab a, cooper flag next year 698 00:37:02.599 --> 00:37:05.599 most likely will feel and look a lot like this 699 00:37:05.719 --> 00:37:07.760 year did for. Jazz fans what are your thoughts? 700 00:37:07.760 --> 00:37:13.679 On, that oh she's. Absolutely right you know the, jazz thought, 701 00:37:14.320 --> 00:37:18.719 you know and we talked about this earlier in, this 702 00:37:18.840 --> 00:37:25.559 conversation you know a little. Bit indirectly, you know the jazz, Were, 703 00:37:25.639 --> 00:37:30.280 like okay we have this real collection. Of picks let's 704 00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:33.960 make some trades and let's get some significant guys. In 705 00:37:34.000 --> 00:37:36.639 here and they found out that they weren't able to 706 00:37:36.639 --> 00:37:39.480 do that because, you know there are a lot of 707 00:37:39.519 --> 00:37:45.920 politics being played behind. The scenes so, you know you 708 00:37:46.039 --> 00:37:48.320 had To Trade, mike conley had to Tread With, leak 709 00:37:48.400 --> 00:37:51.800 beasley had to get a lot of the veterans off. 710 00:37:51.840 --> 00:37:54.119 The roster there's still a lot of veterans on. The 711 00:37:54.199 --> 00:37:56.880 roster john cond is still on. The Roster jordan clarkson 712 00:37:56.920 --> 00:37:59.400 is still on. The roster. You know so there's still 713 00:37:59.519 --> 00:38:05.000 veterans on. The roster and this is the first year 714 00:38:05.840 --> 00:38:09.559 of the rebuild Because the, jazz realized, all right we're 715 00:38:09.639 --> 00:38:11.480 just gonna have to do this through. The draft so 716 00:38:11.559 --> 00:38:15.559 this is this is, year one and, YOU know i 717 00:38:15.559 --> 00:38:17.840 don't even think. IT'S depressing i don't think it's the. 718 00:38:18.079 --> 00:38:21.480 Depressing thing what they're doing right now is putting themselves 719 00:38:21.519 --> 00:38:23.639 in position to get the best player in. The draft 720 00:38:24.519 --> 00:38:28.519 and whatever happens with those, lottery balls whether They get 721 00:38:28.519 --> 00:38:34.760 COOPER flag dj Ask Them, Eighth Barey, dylan, harper Whoever Kan, kin, 722 00:38:34.840 --> 00:38:41.519 Nipple Whoever, trey, johnson whoever they should one hundred turn 723 00:38:41.599 --> 00:38:43.119 around to do the exact same thing. 724 00:38:43.199 --> 00:38:43.840 Next year. 725 00:38:46.280 --> 00:38:51.000 And that is because next year's draft class is one 726 00:38:51.039 --> 00:38:53.360 of the best draft classes at the top of the 727 00:38:53.480 --> 00:38:58.480 DRAFT that i have. Ever seen You Have. Daron peterson You, 728 00:38:58.559 --> 00:39:03.079 have ajdabansa and you have and You Have, cameron boozer 729 00:39:03.639 --> 00:39:07.760 and You Have. Kareem lopez you have four guys that 730 00:39:08.440 --> 00:39:13.760 project as franchise guys in. This draft there's one Guy That's. 731 00:39:13.760 --> 00:39:17.599 Cooper flat there are four guys in next year's draft 732 00:39:17.639 --> 00:39:22.760 that project projected as as potential. Franchise GUYS and i 733 00:39:22.800 --> 00:39:28.079 think That the jazz should figure out a way to 734 00:39:28.519 --> 00:39:31.199 get whoever they can in this, year's draft and then 735 00:39:31.239 --> 00:39:32.760 figure out a way to get one of those four 736 00:39:33.119 --> 00:39:37.239 guys in next, year's draft and then go try to 737 00:39:37.239 --> 00:39:42.000 be good because you'll have, you know two potentially really 738 00:39:42.079 --> 00:39:47.000 dynamic guys on the roster That the jazz have figured 739 00:39:47.039 --> 00:39:49.760 out that the only way for them to get the 740 00:39:49.760 --> 00:39:54.480 guy onto, the roster like the, guy guy is to 741 00:39:54.559 --> 00:39:57.280 do it through. The draft and they have a golden 742 00:39:57.320 --> 00:40:00.480 opportunity to get two of. Those guys, You know so 743 00:40:01.119 --> 00:40:04.719 whatever happens with this, year's draft it is my belief 744 00:40:04.719 --> 00:40:06.920 that they should turn around and do the exact same 745 00:40:06.920 --> 00:40:09.559 thing next year and get one of those guys in 746 00:40:09.599 --> 00:40:13.239 the twenty sixth draft, and then, you know, whatever happens, 747 00:40:13.320 --> 00:40:17.519 go ahead, be good be good. Right away maybe, you 748 00:40:17.559 --> 00:40:21.000 know here's. The thing maybe They Get. Cooper flag and 749 00:40:21.079 --> 00:40:23.880 if You Have cooper Flag And walk Kessler and lowry, 750 00:40:23.920 --> 00:40:27.280 market in, you know maybe you're good. Right away, you 751 00:40:27.320 --> 00:40:32.280 know my my suspicion is you're probably not good right 752 00:40:32.320 --> 00:40:35.039 AWAY because i think that there's the roster really needs some. 753 00:40:35.079 --> 00:40:38.280 Guard play and if there's guard PLAY that i don't 754 00:40:38.280 --> 00:40:41.400 think that's currently on. The roster but, you know you 755 00:40:41.400 --> 00:40:43.639 could do a lot worse as a front court AT 756 00:40:43.639 --> 00:40:47.639 the nba Level Than, Cooper Flag, Walker kessler lowry. Marketing 757 00:40:47.639 --> 00:40:50.840 In and i'm Gonna Throw kyle philipowski in there too, 758 00:40:50.960 --> 00:40:54.840 as WELL because i think that he's a, terrific talent. You, 759 00:40:54.880 --> 00:40:57.960 know so but if, you can if You're, the jazz 760 00:40:59.199 --> 00:41:00.760 you should go and get trying to get one of 761 00:41:00.800 --> 00:41:02.599 those four guys in the twenty sixth draft. 762 00:41:02.639 --> 00:41:06.280 As well, all right moving over now to the news 763 00:41:06.320 --> 00:41:08.679 that YOU and i discussed a couple of, weeks Ago 764 00:41:08.760 --> 00:41:10.400 and i've said it on the show a. Few times 765 00:41:10.440 --> 00:41:13.960 You Dropped alex jensen's name the Day that craig decided 766 00:41:14.000 --> 00:41:15.679 to move on or cheat Me that mark decided to 767 00:41:15.719 --> 00:41:18.880 move On From. Craig smith and now. It's Reality, alex 768 00:41:19.199 --> 00:41:23.639 jensen the seventeenth head Coach in utah men's. Basketball, history 769 00:41:23.679 --> 00:41:25.519 tony what's your reaction and how do you think he's 770 00:41:25.519 --> 00:41:27.320 going to go about filling out? That, BENCH. 771 00:41:28.840 --> 00:41:31.880 Yeah I mean i, think that, YOU know i think 772 00:41:31.920 --> 00:41:37.360 that the the you needed to, you know it's so 773 00:41:37.480 --> 00:41:42.360 cliche about winning the, press conference but in, THIS sense 774 00:41:42.719 --> 00:41:44.639 i really think that they needed to hire somebody that 775 00:41:44.719 --> 00:41:47.199 was going to win the. Press Conference And alex jensen 776 00:41:47.280 --> 00:41:49.559 is going to win the. Press conference now we'll see 777 00:41:49.599 --> 00:41:51.639 what happens after he wins the, press conference but he's 778 00:41:51.679 --> 00:41:55.000 certainly going to win the. Press conference and the REASON 779 00:41:55.000 --> 00:41:59.800 why i say this, is because, you know that program 780 00:42:00.159 --> 00:42:06.039 needs somebody at the top of it that every that that, 781 00:42:06.159 --> 00:42:09.679 has belief real belief you know within the, fan base 782 00:42:09.760 --> 00:42:14.559 real belief from, the players real belief from, the administration 783 00:42:14.719 --> 00:42:17.719 and real belief from the people who write. The checks and, 784 00:42:18.679 --> 00:42:22.559 you know one of the biggest Reasons Why craig smith 785 00:42:22.719 --> 00:42:24.880 is no. Longer HERE and i think that he is a. 786 00:42:25.000 --> 00:42:28.480 Terrific COACH and i still think he's a. TERRIFIC coach 787 00:42:28.519 --> 00:42:31.719 i thought he was Terrific At. UTAH state i think 788 00:42:31.760 --> 00:42:34.239 he's really good at the actual. Coaching part but one 789 00:42:34.320 --> 00:42:37.519 of the reasons why he is no longer here is 790 00:42:37.559 --> 00:42:41.559 because he lost belief within the people who write, the 791 00:42:41.639 --> 00:42:45.159 Checks and alex is going to have. 792 00:42:45.280 --> 00:42:46.159 That belief. 793 00:42:47.480 --> 00:42:50.559 Is my belief that, You know, alex is, you know 794 00:42:50.639 --> 00:42:56.280 one of the best player development guys that You know. 795 00:42:56.400 --> 00:42:59.880 I'VE seen i saw Him work Wonders With. RUDY gobert 796 00:43:00.440 --> 00:43:04.480 i Saw worked Wonders in Dallas With. Derek lively, you 797 00:43:04.519 --> 00:43:08.760 know he's really he really knows hows has developed the 798 00:43:08.800 --> 00:43:12.360 guys that he, works with whether they, be bigs whether whether. 799 00:43:12.480 --> 00:43:14.639 OR not, I mean i know that he gets a 800 00:43:14.679 --> 00:43:18.559 lot of credit for for, developing bigs but, you know 801 00:43:18.679 --> 00:43:21.639 big aren't the only people that he's that he's developed 802 00:43:22.400 --> 00:43:25.360 over over his time as. A, coach so, YOU know 803 00:43:25.440 --> 00:43:29.239 i think that he's definitely had that going. For him, 804 00:43:29.639 --> 00:43:33.199 you know what he has, to do in my eyes, 805 00:43:33.239 --> 00:43:36.840 to me is figure out a way to gain a 806 00:43:36.880 --> 00:43:41.760 foothold on the local. RECRUITING scene i think the State, 807 00:43:41.800 --> 00:43:45.239 of utah the class of twenty twenty six is probably 808 00:43:45.239 --> 00:43:48.239 one of the best high school classes in the last 809 00:43:48.280 --> 00:43:52.639 twenty years to come out in, this state particularly. Among guards, 810 00:43:53.119 --> 00:43:55.599 you KNOW so i think that he's got to get 811 00:43:55.599 --> 00:44:00.639 a foothold on, the local on the. Local guys and, 812 00:44:01.519 --> 00:44:04.559 you know we'll see how he. Fills out we'll see 813 00:44:04.559 --> 00:44:08.719 how he fills out. His STAFF and i believe that 814 00:44:08.760 --> 00:44:12.000 he's going to have a lot of nil money to 815 00:44:12.079 --> 00:44:14.719 go after. Real DUKES and i think that he's going 816 00:44:14.760 --> 00:44:17.840 to go after real dudes because he's going to have 817 00:44:17.880 --> 00:44:19.719 the ammunition financially to be able to. 818 00:44:19.719 --> 00:44:22.760 Do so, all right tell him last Thing and i'll set. 819 00:44:22.800 --> 00:44:26.440 YOU loose byu little bit fortunate today to Run Into, 820 00:44:26.760 --> 00:44:29.159 iowa state who was without two of their three best 821 00:44:29.159 --> 00:44:32.639 Players In Keith shawn gilbert And the Tammy and. Lipsei 822 00:44:32.719 --> 00:44:35.559 kid he's Been all big. Twelve twice that was a 823 00:44:35.639 --> 00:44:38.760 high level. Basketball Game and BYU's now won. Ninth straight 824 00:44:39.199 --> 00:44:42.920 they've got Wins, Over, arizona McHale they Dump trucked Kansas, 825 00:44:42.920 --> 00:44:46.239 and provo and They Beat iowa. State twice this to 826 00:44:46.320 --> 00:44:49.760 me is THE best byu Team that i've seen play 827 00:44:49.880 --> 00:44:52.280 Since the. Furdet stuff and when you look at the 828 00:44:52.360 --> 00:44:55.559 roster top, TO bottom i think this roster is more 829 00:44:55.599 --> 00:44:58.400 talented than Any team dave Had when jimmer. Was here that's. 830 00:44:58.440 --> 00:45:01.840 My opinion what is their ceiling as they continue to 831 00:45:01.840 --> 00:45:03.519 play like this looks like they're going to Run in 832 00:45:03.559 --> 00:45:06.320 houston IN. THE semis i don't know that they can 833 00:45:06.360 --> 00:45:08.639 get past the, five line but they continue to. Play 834 00:45:08.679 --> 00:45:11.280 well so your thoughts on what You Think brigham young 835 00:45:11.320 --> 00:45:12.840 can do come. Tournament time. 836 00:45:14.400 --> 00:45:16.440 So that twenty eleven team would have gone to the. 837 00:45:16.440 --> 00:45:19.920 Final Four Have brandon davis been not been suspended or 838 00:45:20.320 --> 00:45:22.559 what was? He suspended or was? He inevitable? 839 00:45:23.440 --> 00:45:28.760 He was he was he was encouraged to take some 840 00:45:28.880 --> 00:45:32.159 time off after a honor code violation. WAS uncovered I 841 00:45:32.199 --> 00:45:32.679 think i'll leave. 842 00:45:32.679 --> 00:45:37.840 It, There yeah i'm still kind of heated. About that. 843 00:45:38.480 --> 00:45:40.480 For sure, it's wild but, you know that's the gal. 844 00:45:40.559 --> 00:45:44.760 DOWN there i knew that kid really well from covering 845 00:45:44.840 --> 00:45:49.519 high Schools And brandon david was one of the. Best 846 00:45:49.920 --> 00:45:53.360 guys well he's not a, kid anymore but you know 847 00:45:53.440 --> 00:45:58.880 he's he's. Terrific, PERSON anyway. I digress that team would 848 00:45:58.880 --> 00:46:01.440 have gone to the final four in, my Opinion have brandon, 849 00:46:01.519 --> 00:46:08.880 BEEN there i would say that THIS is i don't 850 00:46:08.920 --> 00:46:12.360 know IF it's i don't know if it's the most 851 00:46:12.400 --> 00:46:16.639 talented team at. The top because that twenty eleven Team 852 00:46:16.719 --> 00:46:20.199 had Gimmer. AND brandon, i mean those are two, you 853 00:46:20.239 --> 00:46:25.639 know long, time pros. You know, but THIS this dye 854 00:46:25.800 --> 00:46:29.360 team right now is certainly the deepest Team that i've 855 00:46:29.400 --> 00:46:34.719 seen in the, most balanced, you know and it's a two, 856 00:46:34.719 --> 00:46:37.199 way team by, the way like it's, you know A 857 00:46:37.199 --> 00:46:39.400 lot there are a lot OF d. Yu teams, you 858 00:46:39.440 --> 00:46:41.239 know they put the ball in, the basket but they 859 00:46:41.239 --> 00:46:44.880 can't defend you. Or me this. Team defends this team 860 00:46:44.960 --> 00:46:48.960 is more athletic than. They look i'm sorry to, be 861 00:46:49.079 --> 00:46:56.320 cliche but they're tough. As, Hell uh, they're nasty. You 862 00:46:56.360 --> 00:47:00.360 know uh they, you know they have bookend the booking 863 00:47:00.440 --> 00:47:06.440 bigs Inside with Trori And Cada. Gallum hall.

COLLEGE basketball i don't 867 00:47:15.800 --> 00:47:17.880 think he's one of the best players in, college BASKETBALL 868 00:47:18.360 --> 00:47:21.079 but i think he's one of. My favorites and, you, 869 00:47:21.119 --> 00:47:26.639 Know Quietly, richie saunders, TO me i think is playing 870 00:47:26.719 --> 00:47:31.960 himself into having a chance to play IN the nba in. 871 00:47:32.000 --> 00:47:35.280 Some capacity. You know so, you know they have a lot. 872 00:47:35.320 --> 00:47:40.400 Of guys, You know i'm really impressed with the Developments 873 00:47:40.960 --> 00:47:45.360 Of trey stewart uh into, you know a, key guy. 874 00:47:46.199 --> 00:47:50.480 Especially defensively he has some big, Plays. Today, TREVOR now, 875 00:47:50.599 --> 00:47:54.199 i mean they just have guy after guy, after guy and, 876 00:47:54.559 --> 00:47:58.719 you KNOW and i think. IT'S good i don't think 877 00:47:58.760 --> 00:48:03.280 that their matchup proof in the IN the, ncaa tournament so, 878 00:48:03.760 --> 00:48:07.440 You know i'd like to see what. Their DRAWS but 879 00:48:08.000 --> 00:48:10.440 i do think that if they get the, correct draw 880 00:48:12.000 --> 00:48:16.519 they can go a long way in. THE tournament i 881 00:48:16.639 --> 00:48:21.480 STILL have ptsd from, you know them going out in 882 00:48:21.519 --> 00:48:23.920 the first round. LAST year i do think that they're a, 883 00:48:24.039 --> 00:48:27.280 lot better uh this time around than they were. Last 884 00:48:27.360 --> 00:48:28.960 YEAR and i don't think that they're going to go 885 00:48:28.960 --> 00:48:32.199 out in the. First round but, You know i'll, SAY 886 00:48:32.239 --> 00:48:36.079 this i think that they're one of the most dangerous 887 00:48:36.119 --> 00:48:38.559 teams in. The COUNTRY and i would not be shocked 888 00:48:38.599 --> 00:48:39.079 if They beat. 889 00:48:39.079 --> 00:48:43.400 Houston tomorrow who predicting a Win.

MORE money i don't have a shore, 1060 00:56:56.159 --> 00:56:59.280 known FACT but i also have a belief that this 1061 00:56:59.440 --> 00:57:01.800 is something you have. TO build i don't think somebody's 1062 00:57:01.840 --> 00:57:04.239 showing up with ten million dollars, to, Say, hey alex here, 1063 00:57:04.280 --> 00:57:06.719 you go go and do with this ten million what. 1064 00:57:06.840 --> 00:57:09.400 YOU want i think he might be a Situation where 1065 00:57:09.480 --> 00:57:12.840 alex has to kind of prove that that he's utilizing 1066 00:57:12.920 --> 00:57:16.119 the funds effectively and that he's putting together a good 1067 00:57:16.159 --> 00:57:19.400 team with. Good PEOPLE and i, KNOW that i, know that, 1068 00:57:20.440 --> 00:57:23.960 You know britain has some crazy ideas about how it 1069 00:57:24.440 --> 00:57:26.880 is completely, nil MONEY and i know a lot of people. 1070 00:57:27.000 --> 00:57:29.440 Think that but and this was one of my ISSUES 1071 00:57:29.440 --> 00:57:31.760 when i would hear you say things about former coaches 1072 00:57:31.840 --> 00:57:32.159 here that. 1073 00:57:34.079 --> 00:57:34.360 That we're. 1074 00:57:34.400 --> 00:57:38.280 Good coaches if you can't coach players that don't demand high, 1075 00:57:38.440 --> 00:57:41.840 nil money how are you expected to coach players that 1076 00:57:42.000 --> 00:57:46.000 do demand high. Nil money AND so i Think that 1077 00:57:46.159 --> 00:57:47.880 alex is a. Good coach he's going to be, a 1078 00:57:48.000 --> 00:57:51.159 COACH and i think that he's going to recruit the. 1079 00:57:51.280 --> 00:57:55.559 Proper people and it's it's a little bit about. The 1080 00:57:56.480 --> 00:57:59.559 personality if you look Back at utah, basketball history and 1081 00:57:59.599 --> 00:58:01.400 that's kind OF how i always gauge a lot of 1082 00:58:01.719 --> 00:58:03.800 THINGS that, i say is what has happened. 1083 00:58:03.840 --> 00:58:05.559 In history and you look Back. 1084 00:58:05.480 --> 00:58:08.320 At andre and you look Back at keith and doleyak 1085 00:58:08.800 --> 00:58:11.800 look Back At.

Appreciated them and, so yes you're gonna 1089 00:58:24.119 --> 00:58:27.400 have to pay those guys, nil money but you've got 1090 00:58:27.480 --> 00:58:30.760 to find those good. Kids first don't just throw, your money, 1091 00:58:31.519 --> 00:58:33.599 you know, willy nilly to just go get somebody kind 1092 00:58:33.639 --> 00:58:35.360 of lived by, the sword you die by. The sword 1093 00:58:35.960 --> 00:58:38.920 and if you're gonna just chase after kids who who 1094 00:58:39.039 --> 00:58:42.400 are demanding this high, nil money is that really the 1095 00:58:42.480 --> 00:58:45.159 culture that you want to build Here. At utah, and, 1096 00:58:45.519 --> 00:58:47.800 so yes he's going to have more money FROM what, 1097 00:58:47.880 --> 00:58:51.440 I UNDERSTAND but i still think that it's just people 1098 00:58:51.480 --> 00:58:54.480 are just barely starting to wake up again to the. 1099 00:58:54.519 --> 00:58:57.280 Basketball program they've been asleep for a little while because 1100 00:58:57.320 --> 00:59:00.679 the program just hasn't been. So STELLAR but i think 1101 00:59:00.840 --> 00:59:03.519 at least their eyes are open and they're very interested 1102 00:59:03.599 --> 00:59:06.320 to see what's going to. Happen next, i'm. 1103 00:59:06.199 --> 00:59:08.519 Sorry did you say that you had take an issue 1104 00:59:08.559 --> 00:59:10.920 with me saying the coaches here in the past had been, 1105 00:59:10.960 --> 00:59:14.800 good coaches. Genuinely, churious, yes yes. 1106 00:59:14.719 --> 00:59:18.320 You're you're, too nice and now, YOU know I hope craig's. 1107 00:59:18.360 --> 00:59:21.639 Not listening craig was a, nice guy but nobody said 1108 00:59:21.679 --> 00:59:24.159 Anything about larry being a. Nice guy the attitude of 1109 00:59:24.199 --> 00:59:26.920 That was larry. Didn't coach and so it's a little 1110 00:59:26.960 --> 00:59:29.559 bit of an unfair comparison when we're are we gaging 1111 00:59:29.599 --> 00:59:32.119 people by? Their niceness are we gaging people by their? 1112 00:59:32.159 --> 00:59:36.559 Coaching ability and so you can you can see obviously that, 1113 00:59:36.920 --> 00:59:40.239 you know we had some disparity in how our guy 1114 00:59:40.320 --> 00:59:42.320 were they prepared well enough when they came out on 1115 00:59:42.400 --> 00:59:45.239 the floor that they had confidence in knowing what they. 1116 00:59:45.280 --> 00:59:47.800 Were doing and, TO me i didn't, See that and 1117 00:59:47.920 --> 00:59:50.519 you could you could say that by, You Know gabe 1118 00:59:50.559 --> 00:59:53.480 madson is a, great shooter a.

To come i'm pretty sure. 1148 01:01:16.119 --> 01:01:18.960 Of that he may be just trying to get the 1149 01:01:19.039 --> 01:01:22.599 final parts and pieces together so that he'll, be COMFORTABLE 1150 01:01:22.639 --> 01:01:25.800 but i hear it's. VERY close i don't know if 1151 01:01:25.840 --> 01:01:27.840 the deal has, been SIGNED but i hear. It's Close 1152 01:01:28.559 --> 01:01:33.079 and andre will bring such an. Amazing presence from a, 1153 01:01:33.159 --> 01:01:37.320 RECRUITING standpoint, i mean who Wouldn't If andre miller showed 1154 01:01:37.400 --> 01:01:40.000 up at your front door and you LIVE. In la who's, 1155 01:01:40.079 --> 01:01:43.239 Not thinking, Holy Cow andre miller is standing on my doorstep, 1156 01:01:43.320 --> 01:01:45.599 right now and he could actually teach me how to 1157 01:01:45.679 --> 01:01:49.159 get TO. The nba AND so i think from a, 1158 01:01:49.199 --> 01:01:52.199 recruiting standpoint. It's amazing just from his feel for the game. 1159 01:01:52.320 --> 01:01:54.400 Is amazing you hear a lot of these pros on 1160 01:01:54.480 --> 01:01:58.760 these YouTube channels and podcasts talk About How andre miller 1161 01:01:58.920 --> 01:02:00.960 was such a great meant to them and he would 1162 01:02:00.960 --> 01:02:03.119 ask questions just simple like well what do you? See 1163 01:02:03.159 --> 01:02:05.920 here and he wouldn't just tell. People stuff he would 1164 01:02:05.960 --> 01:02:07.960 make them think and learn and figure things out. For 1165 01:02:08.039 --> 01:02:10.880 THEMSELVES so i think that's that would be an amazing 1166 01:02:11.000 --> 01:02:15.280 partnership with he and al. AFTER that i, YOU know 1167 01:02:15.360 --> 01:02:16.800 i don't. Even know back in the, OLD days i 1168 01:02:16.840 --> 01:02:19.079 think you had three coaches and you had one graduate 1169 01:02:19.119 --> 01:02:22.280 assistant and nobody else could be on. The, FLOOR nowadays 1170 01:02:22.320 --> 01:02:24.719 I think, i counted like what ten coaches on the 1171 01:02:24.800 --> 01:02:28.559 bench the, Other DAY so i think you just have 1172 01:02:28.719 --> 01:02:32.039 to be the number one higher or not the number one. 1173 01:02:32.119 --> 01:02:35.519 Higher somebody that's really important is getting somebody who can 1174 01:02:35.559 --> 01:02:37.599 act as your. General manager you've got to be able 1175 01:02:37.599 --> 01:02:39.840 to keep track of nil and make sure that values, 1176 01:02:39.880 --> 01:02:42.679 are maintained and how much money do, you have and 1177 01:02:42.800 --> 01:02:46.360 how do we kind of put the, players together which 1178 01:02:46.440 --> 01:02:48.519 is kind of new for. College basketball it's more OF an. 1179 01:02:48.599 --> 01:02:50.719 Nba THING but I think alex has got to get 1180 01:02:50.760 --> 01:02:53.519 somebody in that position that would be helpful to him 1181 01:02:54.079 --> 01:02:56.519 and just kind of keep an eye out on him 1182 01:02:56.559 --> 01:02:59.880 and make sure that he doesn't hit any. Big pothole, 1183 01:03:00.119 --> 01:03:02.280 you know he's as he's kind of figuring all this. 1184 01:03:02.400 --> 01:03:04.719 Stuff out so you've got to get got a good 1185 01:03:04.800 --> 01:03:09.159 general manager who understands kind. Of, everything uh and then 1186 01:03:09.199 --> 01:03:11.400 you've got to get somebody who can recruit the State. 1187 01:03:11.440 --> 01:03:14.920 Of utah, You, KNOW britain. I can't i can't.

A while, i mean 1271 01:06:35.119 --> 01:06:37.880 he was just working as an average Joe when rick 1272 01:06:37.960 --> 01:06:41.639 mccheris brought. Him back AND so i, think that, you 1273 01:06:41.719 --> 01:06:43.400 know there was a TIME when i had to DECIDE 1274 01:06:43.440 --> 01:06:45.159 did i want to turn left and go, into COACHING 1275 01:06:45.239 --> 01:06:47.039 do i turn right and try to get into, you 1276 01:06:47.119 --> 01:06:50.280 know Work. Force america and JUST because i decided to 1277 01:06:50.320 --> 01:06:53.400 go right and To Work, force america the information and 1278 01:06:53.480 --> 01:06:56.159 the KNOWLEDGE that i had learned over my, you know 1279 01:06:56.639 --> 01:07:00.199 fifteen year career or seventeen. Year career it didn't, just 1280 01:07:00.360 --> 01:07:04.320 disappear so it's always been, in THERE and i think 1281 01:07:04.360 --> 01:07:05.800 it would be a lot of fun to just be 1282 01:07:05.880 --> 01:07:09.079 able to help in. Some way whatever, THAT means i, 1283 01:07:09.159 --> 01:07:12.599 don't KNOW but i, think that, YOU know i do 1284 01:07:12.760 --> 01:07:14.639 have some things to offer for in. STATE kids i 1285 01:07:14.679 --> 01:07:16.559 could go and tell them how awesome it is to 1286 01:07:16.639 --> 01:07:21.320 be a, hometown boy because really that played such a 1287 01:07:21.400 --> 01:07:24.599 big part of, my life just kind of, being here 1288 01:07:24.679 --> 01:07:28.239 Being An east.

Be, Qualified josh 1295 01:07:41.199 --> 01:07:43.239 but let me move over HERE before i set, you 1296 01:07:43.320 --> 01:07:45.800 loose because you referenced and We had tim McMahon on 1297 01:07:45.880 --> 01:07:48.679 the show who Covers the MAVs, or Espn and tim 1298 01:07:48.880 --> 01:07:51.679 Reported it alex would finish off the season With, the 1299 01:07:51.760 --> 01:07:55.400 MAVs but MAVs ownership has given him complete carte blanche 1300 01:07:55.559 --> 01:07:58.400 to go start doing what he's doing to lay the 1301 01:07:58.480 --> 01:08:00.920 found work for his. New Job and i'm just gonna 1302 01:08:00.920 --> 01:08:02.840 read off the names of the players that are eligible 1303 01:08:02.880 --> 01:08:04.159 to come back, next year AND then i want to 1304 01:08:04.159 --> 01:08:06.400 get your thoughts and we'll say. You Lose So ezra 1305 01:08:06.599 --> 01:08:09.519 star as a Junior And. Kanu DAEs, You Know coach 1306 01:08:09.599 --> 01:08:12.079 Eiler played kanu more Minutes than, craig Did and kana 1307 01:08:12.159 --> 01:08:14.639 had three double doubles in the five Games coach. Eyler 1308 01:08:14.760 --> 01:08:18.119 coached so We've, Got ezra We've Got, kana dawes We Got. 1309 01:08:18.199 --> 01:08:22.680 Mira little we Also Have jake Wallen and Mike shrab 1310 01:08:22.760 --> 01:08:26.319 jams are the main candidates to, come back at least. 1311 01:08:26.359 --> 01:08:29.439 On paper so what do you make of that list? 1312 01:08:29.479 --> 01:08:32.039 Of names and who do You think alex should look 1313 01:08:32.079 --> 01:08:32.880 at to try to get back? 1314 01:08:32.920 --> 01:08:36.760 Next year, YOU know i love all those guys. YOU 1315 01:08:36.880 --> 01:08:40.960 mentioned i honestly think that you. Know all this is 1316 01:08:41.000 --> 01:08:43.960 the difference of opinion between Me And. Coach SMITH but 1317 01:08:44.439 --> 01:08:46.279 i think that you take either one of those point 1318 01:08:46.319 --> 01:08:51.159 guards and then you add the other the other three 1319 01:08:51.760 --> 01:08:55.199 and then if you have Somebody Like Caleb, caleb loher 1320 01:08:55.279 --> 01:08:57.920 it was such a beast. ON defense i think if 1321 01:08:57.920 --> 01:09:00.159 you started those five guys just to kind and to 1322 01:09:00.199 --> 01:09:03.359 set the, tone defensively they really will get after it 1323 01:09:03.439 --> 01:09:05.680 and they would set a good, tone defensively AND so 1324 01:09:06.199 --> 01:09:08.079 i think you win some games if you just give 1325 01:09:08.119 --> 01:09:10.039 them the opportunity to just go and get. 1326 01:09:10.079 --> 01:09:11.239 After IT so. 1327 01:09:11.439 --> 01:09:13.359 I do i'm a Fan, Of waleen i'm a Fan. 1328 01:09:13.439 --> 01:09:17.680 Of DAWs i'm a Fan. OF ezra I think miro's 1329 01:09:17.720 --> 01:09:19.399 in there and he can get in there. And compete he's, 1330 01:09:19.439 --> 01:09:23.319 very Athletic, and mike for his lack of athletic ability is. 1331 01:09:23.399 --> 01:09:25.000 SO long i think that makes up for a lot. 1332 01:09:25.079 --> 01:09:29.199 Of THINGS so i really Believe that alex should go 1333 01:09:29.279 --> 01:09:32.319 and try to keep all of them because they do kind. 1334 01:09:32.319 --> 01:09:35.439 Of understand they played with each other. A year, You 1335 01:09:35.520 --> 01:09:37.800 know DAWs is starting to show what he's capable of 1336 01:09:37.920 --> 01:09:40.159 if you just kind of let him play through and gain. 1337 01:09:40.239 --> 01:09:43.079 Some confidence walleen is the. Same thing he needs to 1338 01:09:43.119 --> 01:09:45.199 get some work with, his shot with his shot and 1339 01:09:45.880 --> 01:09:48.239 being able to maybe have some other options. TO score 1340 01:09:49.159 --> 01:09:51.760 I think mike just needs to get his feet set 1341 01:09:51.800 --> 01:09:53.680 a little bit better when he shoots his. Jump Shot, 1342 01:09:54.239 --> 01:09:57.399 and miro, you know he's just an. Athletic kid maybe 1343 01:09:57.439 --> 01:09:59.600 give him a little bit, more direction but make defense 1344 01:09:59.600 --> 01:10:01.920 the price already. For HIM and i think with those guys, 1345 01:10:02.039 --> 01:10:04.920 right there sure you need a big center, or something 1346 01:10:05.000 --> 01:10:07.319 but with those guys, right there you have a pretty 1347 01:10:07.399 --> 01:10:10.439 solid TEAM and i just need, to build, you know 1348 01:10:10.600 --> 01:10:11.600 some some some. 1349 01:10:11.720 --> 01:10:17.119 Good, Subs, WELL josh i appreciate, the TIME and i 1350 01:10:17.199 --> 01:10:19.359 didn't mean to cause problems between you and, My, guy 1351 01:10:19.479 --> 01:10:22.920 britt so hopefully we're gonna.

The blues but as we as we 1449 01:14:42.880 --> 01:14:46.279 rolled down, the stretch is it still realistic to believe 1450 01:14:46.399 --> 01:14:49.119 that this could? Actually Happen The Utah hockey club could 1451 01:14:49.199 --> 01:14:52.880 qualify as a wildcard team IN The Nhl stanley. 1452 01:14:52.920 --> 01:14:56.920 Cup, playoffs yeah they're Very much still they're not the 1453 01:14:57.039 --> 01:15:00.319 favorites to get into to those wild card SPOTS because 1454 01:15:00.319 --> 01:15:04.279 i think That's more Vancouver. And calgary but they do have. 1455 01:15:04.399 --> 01:15:07.000 A chance and we were talking about it today and 1456 01:15:07.600 --> 01:15:11.199 if you, you know you can say that to get 1457 01:15:11.239 --> 01:15:13.399 to the ninety two points or whatever it's going to 1458 01:15:13.439 --> 01:15:15.680 take to make, the playoffs you've got to play at 1459 01:15:15.720 --> 01:15:17.960 a seven hundred average or a six hundred average. Or 1460 01:15:18.000 --> 01:15:21.560 something but, you know if you if a team can 1461 01:15:21.640 --> 01:15:23.920 get on a, winning streak Either the blues or the, 1462 01:15:24.000 --> 01:15:27.119 hockey club to get on a, winning streak they can jump. 1463 01:15:27.239 --> 01:15:29.720 Over teams but it's going to take a. Winning streak 1464 01:15:29.760 --> 01:15:31.479 it's not going to you're not going to be able 1465 01:15:31.520 --> 01:15:35.319 to win one, lose one win one. Lose one that that. 1466 01:15:35.479 --> 01:15:38.199 Won't work and when you, play TEAMS and i said this, 1467 01:15:38.399 --> 01:15:41.439 last week when you, aren't on you've got to get 1468 01:15:41.520 --> 01:15:43.640 the two points and don't leave any on the table 1469 01:15:43.720 --> 01:15:45.960 for the. Other team in, other words you don't win in, 1470 01:15:46.239 --> 01:15:48.720 over time you don't win in a, shoot a try 1471 01:15:48.760 --> 01:15:51.720 to win, in regulation and of course if that's, not 1472 01:15:51.840 --> 01:15:53.920 possible then go ahead and win any. Other ones but 1473 01:15:54.399 --> 01:15:56.119 it's important that you get the points and that you 1474 01:15:56.159 --> 01:15:56.920 don't leave any for. 1475 01:15:57.039 --> 01:16:00.159 Other teams so let me ask you if you just 1476 01:16:00.319 --> 01:16:04.159 had to, Guess again minnesota seems to have separated themselves 1477 01:16:04.279 --> 01:16:08.079 for the first, wildcard spot but the second, Wildcard, Spot, 1478 01:16:08.239 --> 01:16:12.479 Calgary Vancouver, saint Louis and utah are all in the 1479 01:16:12.560 --> 01:16:15.720 mix for that. Second wildcard so who would you kind 1480 01:16:15.760 --> 01:16:17.720 of handicap is the favorite as, Of, NOW. 1481 01:16:17.720 --> 01:16:21.840 Neil i Would handicap vancouver as. A favorite that's What, 1482 01:16:22.199 --> 01:16:27.439 most yeah that's what most sites are Saying that vancouver 1483 01:16:27.600 --> 01:16:29.319 is the one that's the favorite to. Get in and 1484 01:16:29.479 --> 01:16:32.800 that goes by strength of schedule the rest of. The way, 1485 01:16:33.800 --> 01:16:35.560 you know teams that they've got, to play how many 1486 01:16:35.600 --> 01:16:38.159 home games, they have how many, road games how many 1487 01:16:38.199 --> 01:16:40.560 teams above five hundred that they had left, to play 1488 01:16:40.640 --> 01:16:44.560 how many blow? Five hundred and on that strength of 1489 01:16:44.640 --> 01:16:48.520 schedule and on, the team that's who people are giving the. 1490 01:16:48.640 --> 01:16:51.159 Edge to BUT as, i said that all goes out 1491 01:16:51.199 --> 01:16:54.319 the window if somebody goes on a, winning streak even 1492 01:16:54.399 --> 01:16:56.960 though you're only two, points apart it'll take a winning 1493 01:16:57.039 --> 01:17:00.920 streak and beating teams that people have, handicapped you not 1494 01:17:01.159 --> 01:17:03.880 the beat to give you a chance to, get in 1495 01:17:04.000 --> 01:17:05.760 and crazier things, have happened that's. 1496 01:17:05.840 --> 01:17:11.760 For sure so what sort of what sort? Of experience 1497 01:17:12.399 --> 01:17:15.079 because we're doing this a lot With the, jazz here 1498 01:17:15.119 --> 01:17:18.279 A local, nba team as they play a lot of 1499 01:17:18.359 --> 01:17:23.199 these really good teams in very, close games it's giving 1500 01:17:23.239 --> 01:17:25.600 these young players a lot of good experience because they're 1501 01:17:25.680 --> 01:17:28.319 not going to make. The playoffs and the only way 1502 01:17:28.399 --> 01:17:30.439 for these young players to understand what it's like to 1503 01:17:30.520 --> 01:17:34.119 play against really really good players and really good teams 1504 01:17:34.159 --> 01:17:36.600 in pro basketball not get their doors, blown off is 1505 01:17:36.720 --> 01:17:39.560 be able to make these, games competitive and even if they, 1506 01:17:39.640 --> 01:17:42.039 fall short they're getting some good experience because they're playing. 1507 01:17:42.079 --> 01:17:45.319 Teams closely what sort of experience can a young team 1508 01:17:45.439 --> 01:17:48.880 Like The Utah hockey club just be able to garner 1509 01:17:49.520 --> 01:17:52.119 being in the fight That coach torney talks about all, 1510 01:17:52.159 --> 01:17:54.479 the time being in, the race even if they don't 1511 01:17:55.199 --> 01:17:57.159 get in and if they. Fall short what sort of 1512 01:17:57.239 --> 01:17:59.000 experience can be gained in a race, Like. 1513 01:17:59.039 --> 01:18:02.079 THIS neil i think just what you just said is 1514 01:18:02.159 --> 01:18:05.479 the experience of being in a situation finally where they 1515 01:18:05.560 --> 01:18:08.279 are going right down to the wire to try to 1516 01:18:08.359 --> 01:18:13.119 get in and they're not Eliminated. In february if you 1517 01:18:13.239 --> 01:18:15.520 look at the team, last year the same team which 1518 01:18:15.720 --> 01:18:18.680 was Based, in arizona they weren't in the fight right 1519 01:18:18.760 --> 01:18:21.479 till the. Very END and i think that that's what 1520 01:18:21.560 --> 01:18:23.920 the coach is, talking about is that stay in, the fight. 1521 01:18:24.159 --> 01:18:26.840 Keep fighting if they're going to beat us and go 1522 01:18:27.000 --> 01:18:29.000 in and we're not going to, make it let's not. 1523 01:18:29.159 --> 01:18:32.600 Make it let's not make it on the, last weekend 1524 01:18:32.720 --> 01:18:35.279 not on the lot of month ahead of the end of, 1525 01:18:35.319 --> 01:18:36.960 the season if you KNOW what, i mean keep fighting 1526 01:18:37.039 --> 01:18:39.359 right till the. Very END and i got to say 1527 01:18:39.920 --> 01:18:42.399 spend since we've, been talking, you know in. The summer 1528 01:18:43.079 --> 01:18:45.239 this IS what i envisioned for, this team that they 1529 01:18:45.279 --> 01:18:48.119 would be in, and around knocking on the door to 1530 01:18:48.199 --> 01:18:50.600 try to get into the wild. Card spot and they 1531 01:18:50.720 --> 01:18:52.880 still are doing it and they can. 1532 01:18:53.039 --> 01:18:53.319 Get in. 1533 01:18:55.880 --> 01:19:00.239 Are you surprised, At, all neil THAT the nhl trade 1534 01:19:00.279 --> 01:19:03.760 deadline Came in wentz without the hockey club being. Very 1535 01:19:03.840 --> 01:19:06.319 active does that surprise you? At all or did You 1536 01:19:06.359 --> 01:19:09.199 Anticipate bill armstrong to stay in the course regardless of where. 1537 01:19:09.199 --> 01:19:13.880 They're at, YOU know i anticipated that he would trade 1538 01:19:13.920 --> 01:19:16.359 a couple, of UFAs but he re signed guys that, 1539 01:19:16.479 --> 01:19:18.720 were UFAs so that sort of took them off. The 1540 01:19:18.800 --> 01:19:21.960 Market and buffalo did the. Same Thing and i'm Not 1541 01:19:22.079 --> 01:19:25.520 comparing Buffalo, in Utah but buffalo a non. Playoff team 1542 01:19:26.000 --> 01:19:29.800 they ended up signing guys so that they didn't walk away. 1543 01:19:29.880 --> 01:19:32.119 For nothing and that's the thing at this time of 1544 01:19:32.159 --> 01:19:35.199 the year is the gms don't want to lose a guy, 1545 01:19:35.279 --> 01:19:37.319 for nothing so they come to the deadline and, they, 1546 01:19:37.359 --> 01:19:40.600 say look we either sign them or we. Trade them 1547 01:19:40.760 --> 01:19:43.000 but we're not just going to have him hang in 1548 01:19:43.159 --> 01:19:45.239 for the rest of the regular season and then walk 1549 01:19:45.279 --> 01:19:47.880 away and go. Somewhere else we've got to get something for. 1550 01:19:48.000 --> 01:19:51.119 These Guys So bill armstrong signed a couple of guys 1551 01:19:51.159 --> 01:19:53.199 and that took them off.

A deal and 1603 01:22:37.279 --> 01:22:41.359 you ran hockey teams IN the nhl in, the nineties 1604 01:22:41.479 --> 01:22:45.720 very successfully Winning A. Stanley cup was were points of 1605 01:22:45.800 --> 01:22:49.680 emphasis like this even part of the fabric of your 1606 01:22:49.840 --> 01:22:51.479 job back in. The nineties and what do you make 1607 01:22:51.520 --> 01:22:53.960 of kind of how this stuff has changed a. Little, bit. 1608 01:22:55.880 --> 01:22:58.840 Well a whole society has changed for the better and 1609 01:22:59.039 --> 01:23:03.600 become more open about and and and recognizing that mental health. 1610 01:23:04.319 --> 01:23:05.279 Is health it's not. 1611 01:23:06.840 --> 01:23:07.159 It's not. 1612 01:23:07.359 --> 01:23:09.680 Made up It is it's just the same as any 1613 01:23:09.840 --> 01:23:12.920 kind of. Other disease if you have a mental, health 1614 01:23:12.960 --> 01:23:16.199 issue you have a type of disease that has to. 1615 01:23:16.319 --> 01:23:20.960 Be fixed AND so i think in our day in, 1616 01:23:21.000 --> 01:23:25.239 the nineties we had. A psychotherapist i'm not sure if 1617 01:23:25.279 --> 01:23:29.159 he was clinically a certified, or not but we had a, 1618 01:23:29.239 --> 01:23:32.159 person that, you know talk to the players from time 1619 01:23:32.239 --> 01:23:34.239 to time to see how they, were doing and was 1620 01:23:34.560 --> 01:23:37.960 was around the team. A, lot so but it wasn't 1621 01:23:38.039 --> 01:23:41.600 to the extent it is Now where i'm sure that 1622 01:23:41.720 --> 01:23:45.439 the player can go, and, Say look i'm struggling because 1623 01:23:45.520 --> 01:23:47.680 of this, or this and, YOU know i need, some 1624 01:23:47.840 --> 01:23:51.239 help and the team would, accommodate that just as an 1625 01:23:51.279 --> 01:23:55.359 employer would accommodate hopefully if one of their employees came 1626 01:23:55.399 --> 01:23:58.000 to them, And said i'm really struggling at my Job 1627 01:23:58.079 --> 01:24:00.119 because I'VE got X y z. 1628 01:24:00.279 --> 01:24:00.600 GOING on. 1629 01:24:02.079 --> 01:24:04.760 I wonder one more. Question here it feels like once 1630 01:24:04.880 --> 01:24:08.840 upon a time there may have been a fear for 1631 01:24:08.960 --> 01:24:11.359 a player, to, SAY yes i need a break because 1632 01:24:11.399 --> 01:24:15.359 he could lose. HIS job i wonder if that's anything 1633 01:24:15.640 --> 01:24:17.920 that you, ever saw whether it was mental health or, 1634 01:24:18.000 --> 01:24:21.039 just injuries, players, LIKE no i can't take. A break 1635 01:24:21.079 --> 01:24:22.960 i have. A family i need. THIS job i don't 1636 01:24:23.000 --> 01:24:24.920 want some young upstart taking. My, gig. 1637 01:24:26.319 --> 01:24:28.960 YEAH well i got to get. Another contract i'm trying 1638 01:24:29.000 --> 01:24:31.319 to play for. Another contract i'll, Play hurt i'll play. 1639 01:24:31.960 --> 01:24:34.680 IN grief i mean in the old days of the, 1640 01:24:35.319 --> 01:24:38.399 let's say when the players played in the sixties and, 1641 01:24:38.560 --> 01:24:41.600 THE seventies, i mean they didn't even go home when, 1642 01:24:41.600 --> 01:24:44.760 their child when their wife was giving, child firth they 1643 01:24:44.840 --> 01:24:45.079 had to. 1644 01:24:45.119 --> 01:24:45.880 Stay on the road with. 1645 01:24:46.000 --> 01:24:46.359 The team. 1646 01:24:47.760 --> 01:24:50.119 You know now it's a common thing that players leave 1647 01:24:50.640 --> 01:24:51.960 when they're going to have the birth of. 1648 01:24:52.000 --> 01:24:52.640 A child so. 1649 01:24:54.840 --> 01:25:00.600 It's very much that players will play. Through things but 1650 01:25:00.960 --> 01:25:05.239 with concussions and. So on the leagues have all become 1651 01:25:05.399 --> 01:25:11.039 more ultra conscious of head injuries which lead to, mental 1652 01:25:11.399 --> 01:25:15.800 issues because if you get, a concussion you know you're 1653 01:25:16.039 --> 01:25:20.159 going to have various mental issues during the time that, 1654 01:25:20.199 --> 01:25:24.000 it's healing and clubs have become more aware. 1655 01:25:24.039 --> 01:25:27.520 Of this so what this Does do AND again i 1656 01:25:27.600 --> 01:25:30.680 don't want to diminish, You know connor's bravery and we 1657 01:25:30.840 --> 01:25:32.720 all wish him well and hope he's. Back soon but 1658 01:25:32.840 --> 01:25:36.119 now there's no debate about who the first choice. Goalie 1659 01:25:36.319 --> 01:25:40.520 is It, is mamalka who statistically is had a better Year, 1660 01:25:40.720 --> 01:25:42.520 than connor and we've talked about it all. Year long 1661 01:25:42.640 --> 01:25:45.359 so what sort of dynamic does? That bring is it, 1662 01:25:45.640 --> 01:25:48.840 just again, you know good Wishes, to connor but Knowing 1663 01:25:48.960 --> 01:25:51.479 that mamelka is the, guy now is that something that 1664 01:25:51.560 --> 01:25:53.760 could maybe free him up when he knows the job 1665 01:25:53.880 --> 01:25:54.680 is his no, Matter WHAT. 1666 01:25:56.479 --> 01:26:00.119 Oh, i THINK so i think he'll. PLAY better A 1667 01:26:00.279 --> 01:26:03.880 normal nhl team has a set number one and a, 1668 01:26:03.960 --> 01:26:07.039 set backup and they certainly have that Now With jackson 1669 01:26:07.159 --> 01:26:10.520 stober being the backup and Of the milica being clearly. 1670 01:26:10.600 --> 01:26:13.279 Number One and vimilica was rewarded with a new contract 1671 01:26:13.359 --> 01:26:17.199 Too By, bill armstrong so he showed him that he 1672 01:26:17.359 --> 01:26:20.000 is definitely, number one and that's another player they took 1673 01:26:20.079 --> 01:26:23.880 OFF the ufa market by giving him a, New contract so, 1674 01:26:24.640 --> 01:26:27.199 he said a. Good year connor struggled, this year as we, 1675 01:26:27.279 --> 01:26:29.600 all know but now maybe we know one of the 1676 01:26:29.680 --> 01:26:36.199 reasons why, he struggled and that's with his. Personal situation, All. 1677 01:26:36.159 --> 01:26:39.760 Right neil kind of a, broad picture, you know, big 1678 01:26:39.840 --> 01:26:43.920 picture broader question about the league, right NOW because i 1679 01:26:43.960 --> 01:26:46.359 haven't talked to you Since that march seventh, trade deadline 1680 01:26:46.359 --> 01:26:49.279 which was. Last week of all the moves that, were 1681 01:26:49.359 --> 01:26:51.760 made and there were, a ton which one did you like? 1682 01:26:51.840 --> 01:26:53.880 The most which one left you scratch in? Your, head. 1683 01:26:55.279 --> 01:26:57.560 Well the one that made me scratch my head and 1684 01:26:57.680 --> 01:27:01.640 probably every other part of me Was the carolina Trading 1685 01:27:01.720 --> 01:27:04.920 for ranton and then not knowing whether they could, sign 1686 01:27:05.000 --> 01:27:06.880 him and then not being able to, sign him and 1687 01:27:06.880 --> 01:27:10.479 then turning around and trading Him to dallas and it 1688 01:27:10.720 --> 01:27:14.439 ended up that They Lost jack Drury And marty Neckish 1689 01:27:14.600 --> 01:27:19.600 to colorado and Got Back taylor hall and a bunch. 1690 01:27:19.640 --> 01:27:23.840 Of picks so that made me, really, wonder like what 1691 01:27:23.920 --> 01:27:25.720 do you do and you're supposed to know you could 1692 01:27:25.760 --> 01:27:28.640 sign these guys before you trade. For them that's the 1693 01:27:28.920 --> 01:27:32.720 common that's common operations to do it. That way the 1694 01:27:32.840 --> 01:27:34.760 other ONE that i was startled BY was i didn't 1695 01:27:34.800 --> 01:27:38.119 Think that boston would ever trade, Their captain Brad, marsha 1696 01:27:38.199 --> 01:27:40.319 on and when they couldn't come to a deal, with 1697 01:27:40.479 --> 01:27:43.840 him they ended up trading Him, to florida which Has 1698 01:27:43.960 --> 01:27:49.199 been boston's nemesis the last. Few Years and Brad marshaw 1699 01:27:49.199 --> 01:27:52.319 on now plays with two guys that terrorized each Other 1700 01:27:52.960 --> 01:27:56.720 In sam Bennett And matt Kuchuck on florida will now 1701 01:27:56.840 --> 01:28:00.079 Play with Brad marsha on on the. Same team so 1702 01:28:00.159 --> 01:28:03.159 you're going to have three very irritating guys now On The. 1703 01:28:03.239 --> 01:28:06.640 Florida panthers they, had two but now you're going to 1704 01:28:06.680 --> 01:28:09.600 have the third One in marshaunson does a good job 1705 01:28:09.680 --> 01:28:09.800 of that. 1706 01:28:09.920 --> 01:28:14.720 As well so after, The deadline Vegas believes Florida and 1707 01:28:14.960 --> 01:28:18.399 dallas are The Top stanley. Cup contenders now do you agree? 1708 01:28:18.439 --> 01:28:18.640 WITH that. 1709 01:28:21.079 --> 01:28:23.760 I think florida is a. Top contender i'm not Sure 1710 01:28:23.800 --> 01:28:27.840 that dallas is because they got RANT and i think they're. 1711 01:28:27.880 --> 01:28:31.279 REALLY good i Would say winnipeg is the TEAM that 1712 01:28:31.359 --> 01:28:35.880 i would put my two cents on because they've. 1713 01:28:35.720 --> 01:28:36.159 Done it all. 1714 01:28:36.239 --> 01:28:38.359 Year long i'm not sure when you go out in 1715 01:28:38.399 --> 01:28:41.520 the trade deadline and you get a, big fish that 1716 01:28:41.720 --> 01:28:45.239 the big fish can get into the school and swim 1717 01:28:45.319 --> 01:28:48.039 with the other fish, right away because it's a big 1718 01:28:48.199 --> 01:28:52.359 change in the in the dynamic of the big change 1719 01:28:52.399 --> 01:28:54.359 the dynamic of the team when you put a guy 1720 01:28:54.479 --> 01:28:56.319 in that lineup that takes that much. 1721 01:28:56.479 --> 01:28:58.600 Ice time, all right. 1722 01:28:58.560 --> 01:29:00.359 My friend where can all of our?

And THAT was his, Like, 2144 01:50:06.479 --> 01:50:11.159 i said earlier ZAMBO he, had three nba guys maybe 2145 01:50:11.199 --> 01:50:13.119 a fourth in me who dipped HIS toes, in the 2146 01:50:13.239 --> 01:50:15.960 nba waters And a fifth with alex, himself a little 2147 01:50:16.000 --> 01:50:19.079 bit but you get. Three just absolute studs and we've got. 2148 01:50:19.159 --> 01:50:21.800 To find a way the university has to find A, 2149 01:50:21.880 --> 01:50:25.359 way to, give alex you know a. Budget TO do that, 2150 01:50:25.720 --> 01:50:29.159 and i, think again you know everyone can say, they're 2151 01:50:29.159 --> 01:50:31.359 a good coach but there really are just some that 2152 01:50:31.560 --> 01:50:34.840 get the game. AT an INTELLIGENT level i apologize i, 2153 01:50:34.960 --> 01:50:37.119 keep using football terminology but there's just some of those 2154 01:50:37.159 --> 01:50:40.920 special coaches out there right that you see that know 2155 01:50:41.119 --> 01:50:43.960 how to take whatever Roster They have a nick saban 2156 01:50:44.520 --> 01:50:47.800 right and turn it into a championship caliber team Because 2157 01:50:47.800 --> 01:50:50.600 it's not the texas and though, it's culture as well 2158 01:50:51.399 --> 01:50:54.319 and you you create a culture that's like when you, 2159 01:50:54.520 --> 01:50:57.199 come into this practice no one's better. Than the other 2160 01:50:57.279 --> 01:50:59.800 person everyone treats, each other the same everyone works just 2161 01:50:59.840 --> 01:51:02.159 as hard. As the, Other person you. KNOW i'll never 2162 01:51:02.199 --> 01:51:04.399 forget i think IT was you and i were either 2163 01:51:04.520 --> 01:51:07.760 questioning or Asking questions to coach papovich or We Were 2164 01:51:07.800 --> 01:51:12.000 listening to david locke Ask him questions and Papovich said something. 2165 01:51:12.039 --> 01:51:13.800 That i'll, NEVER forget he said I Can yell at 2166 01:51:13.880 --> 01:51:16.239 tim DUNCAN the same way i can. Yell at a 2167 01:51:16.319 --> 01:51:19.359 rookie and that's culture that he Created there at the 2168 01:51:19.439 --> 01:51:22.800 spurs that made them such, a Winning franchise forever, and, 2169 01:51:23.439 --> 01:51:27.319 mitjeris created that right, Winning coaches Create that that's what 2170 01:51:27.479 --> 01:51:31.640 alex will. Be able, to create so again three to 2171 01:51:32.079 --> 01:51:34.800 if you can, get four yeah studs but, THE rest 2172 01:51:34.880 --> 01:51:37.359 of them i think he'll be able To recruit players 2173 01:51:37.399 --> 01:51:41.800 From Utah or the mountain west area and just make 2174 01:51:41.920 --> 01:51:44.239 up for what he doesn't have in a depth of 2175 01:51:44.319 --> 01:51:48.359 seven players with really good, coaching with. Team BASKETBALL you 2176 01:51:48.439 --> 01:51:51.760 Know so I hope spans and i believe that they're, 2177 01:51:51.840 --> 01:51:53.800 capable of doing it that they can come up with 2178 01:51:53.880 --> 01:51:55.479 a budget, to take, care of you know some. Of 2179 01:51:55.479 --> 01:51:58.439 those big stars it might, not, happen NEXT year right 2180 01:51:58.520 --> 01:52:01.239 but i Think as you give alex a chance to 2181 01:52:01.319 --> 01:52:03.640 prove himself and he brings in some awesome assistance that 2182 01:52:03.720 --> 01:52:05.720 can go out there and, FIND the right players. 2183 01:52:06.239 --> 01:52:08.119 I think, it's doable all right. 2184 01:52:08.079 --> 01:52:10.479 Let me move in this, DIRECTION because you know i 2185 01:52:10.560 --> 01:52:16.640 can remember talking with you and some Other Alums as 2186 01:52:16.760 --> 01:52:20.680 the larry kroscoviac era, was kind of unfolding and it 2187 01:52:20.760 --> 01:52:22.279 FELT like there were i don't want, to Speak for 2188 01:52:22.319 --> 01:52:23.800 you so i'm just gonna ask the question and. Give 2189 01:52:23.800 --> 01:52:25.520 you the space it felt like there were maybe some 2190 01:52:25.640 --> 01:52:30.119 alums That didn't feel. Like larry, was embracing you know 2191 01:52:30.239 --> 01:52:33.640 That element of. WHAT utah basketball is, i Don't fully 2192 01:52:33.720 --> 01:52:36.359 recall but i'm bringing It up because Then i'm gonna 2193 01:52:36.359 --> 01:52:38.840 play devil's advocate, Here, A little bit, Brent and then 2194 01:52:38.880 --> 01:52:40.479 again i'm just gonna lay back and. Give you THE 2195 01:52:40.560 --> 01:52:44.079 space because when, i add josh on he referenced that 2196 01:52:45.039 --> 01:52:48.880 a lot of Alums attempted to contact craig, during the 2197 01:52:48.920 --> 01:52:53.239 four years and he wasn't necessarily. Amenable to those. Connections 2198 01:52:53.800 --> 01:52:55.880 paraphrasing a bit you can Go Listen to the josh 2199 01:52:56.399 --> 01:52:59.840 grant interview up. On our, podcast PAGE and look while 2200 01:53:00.119 --> 01:53:03.199 i look AS much as anybody i respect and Appreciate 2201 01:53:03.279 --> 01:53:06.600 the history of utah basketball and guys like you and 2202 01:53:06.720 --> 01:53:09.039 that team THAT was around when i was in school with, 2203 01:53:09.119 --> 01:53:12.560 YOU as your peer i don't know that it really 2204 01:53:12.680 --> 01:53:15.600 is the job of the head coach to answer every 2205 01:53:15.640 --> 01:53:17.880 alumni phone call when you have. A, job to do, 2206 01:53:18.439 --> 01:53:21.439 SO to be clear i think there is a, role. 2207 01:53:22.079 --> 01:53:25.119 FOR past, utes certainly I mean now that, Alex is 2208 01:53:25.159 --> 01:53:27.640 the coach i'm. Sure it will change but what's fair 2209 01:53:27.760 --> 01:53:32.119 to say about what portion of the job description says 2210 01:53:32.800 --> 01:53:35.199 that that's something that You need to do and how do, 2211 01:53:35.279 --> 01:53:39.119 You balance that line britt between appeasing the alums and. 2212 01:53:39.199 --> 01:53:42.359 Also doing your job?

Level That i don't 2330 01:58:57.239 --> 01:58:59.960 AND alex is what i would describe as a little. 2331 01:59:00.159 --> 01:59:02.279 BIT of an introvert i don't think, that's a, Bad 2332 01:59:02.439 --> 01:59:05.399 thing per se and don't mistake his quiet nature for 2333 01:59:05.479 --> 01:59:08.920 anything other.

Bacata had ten boards he. 2657 02:14:19.560 --> 02:14:21.960 Also had nine points trevinell hit all four of, his 2658 02:14:22.079 --> 02:14:25.840 three point shots he Had fourteen and fustre ori off 2659 02:14:25.880 --> 02:14:29.079 the bench had fifteen points on. Five OF six shooting 2660 02:14:29.199 --> 02:14:32.439 so byu was able to advance now to the semi 2661 02:14:32.600 --> 02:14:36.720 finals where they Are. Going to play houston houston actually 2662 02:14:36.800 --> 02:14:40.640 had a little bit of a More difficult TIME with 2663 02:14:40.840 --> 02:14:44.920 colorado than i. Think anybody was expecting houston went into 2664 02:14:44.960 --> 02:14:47.640 the locker room at half with, A five, point lead 2665 02:14:47.720 --> 02:14:50.399 i believe but ultimately was able to hold Off a 2666 02:14:50.439 --> 02:14:52.840 pretty pesky colorado team that may have been the worst 2667 02:14:52.840 --> 02:14:55.479 team of, the Conference all year and houston gets to 2668 02:14:55.520 --> 02:14:57.960 win seventy. Seven to sixty Eight so NOW it's houston 2669 02:14:58.079 --> 02:15:02.159 And Byu in the. Big twelve semi finals AND if you're, 2670 02:15:02.199 --> 02:15:05.159 a byu fan man this is the team that's playing 2671 02:15:05.279 --> 02:15:09.840 AS well as any byu, team In my opinion, since 2672 02:15:09.960 --> 02:15:12.479 furdet was around Since It was the jimmer. Jimmer years 2673 02:15:12.520 --> 02:15:14.399 they've had they had Some Good, teams under mark pope 2674 02:15:15.239 --> 02:15:17.279 but when you look at, this team on paper maybe 2675 02:15:17.279 --> 02:15:20.239 they don't have the. TOP end Pro talent i think 2676 02:15:20.279 --> 02:15:21.920 diegor demon is going to be, a very good pro 2677 02:15:22.079 --> 02:15:23.479 but he's got a lot of work to. Do On, 2678 02:15:23.600 --> 02:15:26.960 his game kennon catchings who is their other thought to, 2679 02:15:27.000 --> 02:15:31.079 be legit pro prospect actually. Did not play TODAY he 2680 02:15:31.199 --> 02:15:31.680 has missed i. 2681 02:15:31.720 --> 02:15:31.840 Think. 2682 02:15:31.920 --> 02:15:35.479 Five STRAIGHT Games now so byu houston Tomorrow at, five 2683 02:15:35.520 --> 02:15:39.319 o'clock mountain time And it is The Phillip Sixty six 2684 02:15:39.439 --> 02:15:43.479 Big twelve championship semi final for the chance to Go 2685 02:15:43.600 --> 02:15:46.600 play In. THE big twelve final byu at this point 2686 02:15:46.720 --> 02:15:51.079 obviously is a LOCK to. Make the ncaa tournament can 2687 02:15:51.159 --> 02:15:53.680 they get higher? THAN a five. SEED i, don't know 2688 02:15:53.800 --> 02:15:55.279 i mean If they, WIN the big twelve i think 2689 02:15:55.279 --> 02:15:56.680 you have to make an argument they might be a 2690 02:15:56.720 --> 02:15:59.600 top three or.

Can Actually get excited the 2759 02:19:31.399 --> 02:19:36.600 jazz were fine one hundred thousand dollars yesterday for violating the, 2760 02:19:36.680 --> 02:19:41.120 league's player participation policy and it came As a result 2761 02:19:41.799 --> 02:19:44.799 of lowry market and missing nine games when according to what, 2762 02:19:44.920 --> 02:19:48.120 The league found. Out lowry was healthy. That's not breaking 2763 02:19:48.200 --> 02:19:50.520 News we know that walker's been healthy when. They've held 2764 02:19:50.600 --> 02:19:52.360 him out we know that. Marketing has been healthy we 2765 02:19:52.440 --> 02:19:55.559 know that most of the players they hold out. Incrementally 2766 02:19:55.639 --> 02:19:59.159 Have been healthy but lowry falls into what is categorized. 2767 02:19:59.200 --> 02:20:02.879 As a quote player and the reason he falls into 2768 02:20:02.920 --> 02:20:06.000 that category Is He. Was an all star now a, 2769 02:20:06.079 --> 02:20:08.680 couple of years, ago not this, year not last year 2770 02:20:08.680 --> 02:20:10.040 but the year before when the Game Was, Here in 2771 02:20:10.120 --> 02:20:12.879 salt Lake Larry was an all star and that's recent 2772 02:20:13.079 --> 02:20:15.639 enough for him to fall into this category that IF 2773 02:20:15.680 --> 02:20:17.920 you are an nba team and you have a star player, 2774 02:20:18.040 --> 02:20:22.840 quote unquote star player if you hold him out consecutively 2775 02:20:23.440 --> 02:20:26.319 during a stretch, in which he's healthy and they also 2776 02:20:26.440 --> 02:20:29.520 lean into road games. And Nationally televised games the jazz 2777 02:20:29.520 --> 02:20:31.920 don't have any nationally televised games because nobody. Wants to 2778 02:20:31.959 --> 02:20:35.000 watch them but this is this is the deal As 2779 02:20:35.040 --> 02:20:37.360 a result of Larry Actually Making, the all star game 2780 02:20:37.920 --> 02:20:41.319 and under these stipulations and, guidelines in pro basketball if 2781 02:20:41.360 --> 02:20:43.520 you have one of those players on your roster and 2782 02:20:43.639 --> 02:20:46.879 you make the decision to hold him out more than 2783 02:20:46.920 --> 02:20:49.399 a few games when all indications, are that he's healthy. You, 2784 02:20:49.440 --> 02:20:52.319 will be fine, now a Second offense if the, jazz 2785 02:20:52.399 --> 02:20:55.559 do THIS again and, the nba, finds them, you know 2786 02:20:56.360 --> 02:20:59.600 you know breaking these. Protocols the second offense the second 2787 02:20:59.639 --> 02:21:02.280 offense will be a two hundred and, Fifty thousand dollars 2788 02:21:02.360 --> 02:21:05.319 fine the third offense is a one point two, five 2789 02:21:05.440 --> 02:21:08.760 million dollar fine and then every defense after that it's 2790 02:21:08.799 --> 02:21:11.440 a million dollars. On TOP of it So i, know 2791 02:21:11.559 --> 02:21:13.520 the jazz ownership they've.
