Does it 9 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:16,920 Speaker 1: feel like right smack the middle of the season for you? 10 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:19,600 Speaker 2: You know, it really does, and you go the hard 11 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,479 Speaker 2: part that you really don't get off season anymore. But no, 12 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,600 Speaker 2: we're we're in it. And you know, we yesterday we'd 13 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,480 Speaker 2: had a stretch where we've gone ten days just because 14 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 2: of the schedule. So the guys needed a break and 15 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 2: we'll get back out of here this morning. But yeah, 16 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 2: it's were we were hot and heavy. There's no doubt 17 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:36,880 Speaker 2: about that. Coach. 18 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,239 Speaker 3: You transition here a little bit at SMU. Coming up 19 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 3: on Saturday, you guys go to Greenbrier for a couple 20 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 3: of other Power four games coming up next week. How 21 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,520 Speaker 3: do you kind of go about the non conference schedule 22 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 3: when it comes to you know, where do you put 23 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 3: you know, the non con games in terms of a 24 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 3: you know, power standpoint? Trying to build a resume for March. 25 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 3: How do you kind of view the non conference schedule? 26 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 2: Well, you know, scheduling is one of the hardest parts 27 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 2: of college basketball, to be honest with you, I mean it. 28 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 2: You know, we knew, like in the SMU deal them 29 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 2: being an ACC school, we were trying to do a 30 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,400 Speaker 2: home at home. We needed somebody that would start at 31 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 2: Hinkle last year, which they did. So this is a 32 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 2: return game there, you know, in terms of the event 33 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,759 Speaker 2: and at the Greenbrier, you know that's a multi team event, 34 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 2: I think is what it is called. And you know 35 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 2: you're playing two quality opponents on the neutral court, which 36 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 2: works itself out. Well, you know, the other team in 37 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 2: there is we play South Carolina. Virginia in Northwestern is 38 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 2: also in the tournament, and we won't play them, play 39 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 2: them downtown in December, I believe. So that's why we 40 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 2: already know our two opponents down there. 41 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 3: And then you guys, it was announced a few weeks back, 42 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 3: but you guys have agreed to a home at home 43 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 3: with North Carolina. So I think it's too Chapel Hill 44 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 3: if I'm not mistaken, next December, and then they'll come 45 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 3: to Hinkle in twenty twenty seven. How did that one 46 00:01:59,480 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 3: come about? 47 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 2: You know, that one. It's funny because Grant Line Decker 48 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 2: Athletics are kind of facilitated that one just because of 49 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 2: his ties to North Carolina and you know, he was 50 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 2: down there for I don't know how many years, but 51 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,079 Speaker 2: he sort of got with their A D and got 52 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,799 Speaker 2: that one done. So that'll be a a great, great 53 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 2: game for us next year. 54 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 4: That obviously your team off to a pretty impressive start. 55 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,239 Speaker 4: How do you assess progress when you're playing competition that 56 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 4: may not be on the same level as you, but 57 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 4: you look at the results and you're trying to, I guess, 58 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 4: glean little things from it versus just the outcome of 59 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 4: the score. 60 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's funny because I've been pretty pleased 61 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 2: with how we've handled our business in the first three games, 62 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 2: and we've been able to do a lot of teaching 63 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 2: from those because, you know, playing the two exhibition games 64 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 2: against Notre Dame in Indiana State, you know, I thought 65 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 2: we grew and I've seen growth and development with our guys. 66 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 2: You know, my biggest thing is I don't want to 67 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 2: see guys make the same mistake twice in a game. 68 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 2: And we've had a little bit of that and trying 69 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,839 Speaker 2: to get that cleaned up and knowing you know, your 70 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 2: your offensive defense is always going to be a work 71 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 2: in progress. And you look at the last two games 72 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 2: that we played, just with how I Undy and Chicago 73 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 2: State played, you know, we really haven't had to execute offense. 74 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,639 Speaker 2: Has been more of making basketball plays. And so I think, 75 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 2: you know, Saturday, we'll get back to having, you know, 76 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 2: just a little bit more where we got to call sets, 77 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,399 Speaker 2: we got to execute them and which hopefully we're ready 78 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 2: for that. 79 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: Dad Mauda head coach basketball, head basketball coach at Butler. 80 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: And it's brought to you by Thompson Furniture and Mattress 81 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: and Columbus in business since the year before hinkle Field 82 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: House opened in nineteen twenty seven.

There's no question 92 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 2: about that. I mean, SMU is extremely talented. They're they're 93 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,039 Speaker 2: you know, their little point guard maybe one of the 94 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 2: best in the country. They ever in twenty one points 95 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 2: seven assistant three games right now, and we had some 96 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 2: trouble with them last year, but they're they're an extremely 97 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 2: talented team. There's no doubt. I think it'll be good 98 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 2: for us to get on the road and and you know, 99 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 2: to sort of see what we're made out down there, 100 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 2: and you know, come home, got a few days to 101 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 2: prepare and then you know, South Carolina and like said, 102 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 2: Virginia over the course the next weekend. So yeah, it's on. 103 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 2: There's there's no doubt about that. And I think our 104 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 2: guys are excited to go on the road. I think 105 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 2: we're in a good place right now. We just go 106 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 2: down and play well. 107 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 3: Coach, I want to go back to something you said 108 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 3: a few minutes ago, and I think you touched on 109 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 3: this after the Chicago State game of like calling no 110 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 3: sets on most from the sideline. We have Rick Carlisle 111 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 3: on every Tuesday, and you know, he obviously has shared 112 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 3: about their offensive sort of approach, and I get the 113 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 3: tyrese Haliburton helps the situation, but you know, just kind 114 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 3: of the whole hey, freedom of flowing and just kind 115 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 3: of play the game and maybe not call as many 116 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 3: as stationary sets looking over the sidelines typically for you 117 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 3: over the course of a forty minute game. Are you 118 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 3: a coach that likes to call a lot of sets 119 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 3: and kind of how does that evolve depending on what 120 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 3: your point guard situation is. 121 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, a lot of it is is we 122 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 2: want to go on on miss field goals when we 123 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 2: got opportunity, you know, of turnovers or miss field goals 124 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 2: we've got, we'll get into our flow offense through transition 125 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 2: and at that point we're playing. I mean, and you 126 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 2: know we've worked a lot on that of knowing putting 127 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 2: guys in position to have their strengths and weaknesses, you know, 128 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 2: dead balls, maybe a made field goal where we may 129 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,600 Speaker 2: call something that we've seen that we think could be 130 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 2: advantageous for us to score. But a lot of it 131 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 2: now is is you know, you want your guys playing 132 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 2: freely also with a lot of discipline, knowing what they 133 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 2: can do and what they can't do. 134 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 4: One more for me, coach, and I was looking at 135 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 4: Finley Bizjacks bio. He's got a lot of three on 136 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 4: three background. How much do you work on those types 137 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 4: of looks in practice? And know it's a five and 138 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 4: five game, but how much do you think three on three, 139 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 4: two on two, those types of drills can help you 140 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 4: make quicker decisions when you're in the half court. 141 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:36,840 Speaker 2: That's a great question. I know this, you know, we 142 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 2: we go part whole a lot, but but you've got 143 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 2: to have the riffs with the five guys out there, 144 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,600 Speaker 2: just for spacing and those types of things. I think 145 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 2: the three on three that Finiy did for USA Basketball 146 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 2: has really helped him because it's I don't know if 147 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 2: you guys have ever seen that, but it's such a 148 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 2: fast paced game, is a twelve second shot clock, and 149 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 2: I think that's helped Friendly tremendously in his decision making 150 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 2: and you know, seeing things quicker because of the pace 151 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 2: they have to play it. He's played it all over 152 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 2: the world as for sure. 153 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 3: Coach. 154 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: Always good to talk to you. You know, nice start 155 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: so far, keep it wrong, Your team heads out on 156 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: the road. Some big games coming up. We're looking forward 157 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: to to hearing them and watching them. 158 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 2: Thanks all right, guys, Thank you.
