Speaker 2: I know I feel a little bit of uncomfortable, as

10
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 2: too many people right now.

11
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:21,319

00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: Oh lord, you know our next guest is on the phone.

13
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,479
Speaker 1: You can hear everything. It's the head coach for the

14
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: Butler Bulldogs. I don't know what it's like sometimes around

15
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,480
Speaker 1: where you're at, But who knows what's going to happen

16
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 1: here at that who knows. We like it that way.

17
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 4: It's a good thing, right, I mean, there's there's nothing

18
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 4: better than the unknown, that's for sure.

19
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 1: We're starting to find out a little bit more about

20
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: the Butler Bulldogs.

21
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 4: They.

22
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: I think you've played well so far. What are your

23
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: thoughts been over these first couple of weeks.

24
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 4: Well, you know, we've had some good moments. There's no

25
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 4: question about that. And I think as the whole teams

26
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 4: in college basketball, we're still a work in progress, and

27
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 4: you know, just sort of getting guys experience at certain

28
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 4: positions and and you know, kind of looking at our

29
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 4: rotations and seeing what guys are bringing to the table

30
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 4: with the bringing to the table. And you know, the

31
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 4: hard part is no opponents the same. And you know

32
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 4: from for instance, you know, you play Boys, you stayed

33
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 4: on on Saturday, and you got Providence this Saturday, and

34
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 4: there are two completely different basketball teams, and so trying

35
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 4: to get your guys to understand the preparation that goes

36
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 4: into what we have to do and and how we

37
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 4: have to do it. I think that's the biggest things

38
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 4: in terms of the teaching and the coaching that we

39
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 4: have to do.

40
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 2: FA What did you see particularly, I guess that second

41
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 2: half when you know it's a pretty close game on

42
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 2: Saturday there with Boise and then they made that run

43
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 2: and you guys couldn't get back in it.

44
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I tell you what. You know, it's uh when

45
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 4: you play a team like Boys stayed and I said

46
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 4: this last week, they're really really good team, and you know,

47
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 4: we had some some breakdowns defensively and you know they

48
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 4: just say they made us pay for him. And then offensively,

49
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 4: you know, it is one of those games where we

50
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 4: really really struggle to put the ball in the basket.

51
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 4: You know, we miss stop dunks at the beginning of

52
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 4: the game, and uh, we're one for eleven for three

53
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 4: at halftime, and and you know, had some that were

54
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 4: great looks that went in and out, and uh, you

55
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 4: know when that happens, you got to you got to

56
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 4: keep defending. You can't tie your your offense to your defense.

57
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 4: And uh, every you know, in a game like that,

58
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 4: every possession is vitally important.

59
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 3: Dad, I'm very curious about this when it comes to

60
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 3: college basketball schedule. You all have quite the gap in

61
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 3: between now and your next game, and you've had quite

62
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 3: the gap. Rather, what does that look like? How do

63
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 3: you plan for that when you know you're gonna have

64
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 3: your guys off probably a little healthier, but you want

65
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 3: them to stay in that competitive mind frame for a

66
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 3: big game coming up against Providence.

67
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know this catching is is crazy to be

68
00:02:58,320 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 4: host with you, And this is kind of a slow

69
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 4: week and college basketball and then next week is finals week.

70
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 4: You know, I remember Peggy the day. We it was

71
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 4: taboo to play a game during the finals week we

72
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 4: got We're at yukon next Wednesday. I know we got

73
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 4: the guys taking finals out there, but no, we've taken

74
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 4: this week and you know, really tried to hone in

75
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 4: on us as well as prepared for Providence. But you know,

76
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 4: knowing that that we got, we got a lot of

77
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 4: areas and that we need to get better at and

78
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 4: we've addressed those. And you know, we've also gotten some rest.

79
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 4: We've we've been sick this week. We haven't had a

80
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 4: full roster. Hopefully today we've got everybody back, but we've

81
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 4: been missing like four guys and practice this week.

82
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: That makes it makes it tough, no question about it.

91
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: From the bottom of your roster up. Who are some

92
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: of the guys that really impressed you and have worked

93
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: hard and are making a contribution for you on the

94
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: floor right now that people don't always see.

95
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, let me start with Jamie KUIs. I think

96
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 4: Jamie's is having a heck of a season. We need

97
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 4: him to uh get more shots up throughout the course

98
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 4: of the game, but you know, defensively, he's had some

99
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 4: some really really good moments for us. You know, I

100
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 4: think you see Drayton Jones is kind of coming into

101
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 4: uh the player that we were hoping he was going

102
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 4: to be the luck four shots the other day, which

103
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 4: we need the rim protection. I think Xavier and is growing.

104
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 4: I mean, he's nine college games into his career and

105
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 4: you know, folks that who missed five weeks, uh is

106
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 4: uh getting more and more game experience. You know. Johann

107
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 4: we I like the way when he's when he's on,

108
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 4: he's playing really well. We get even more consistent throughout.

109
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 4: But I think he's doing a heck of a job

110
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 4: for so you know, just really across the board, and

111
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 4: you know, the freshmen are coming along. We've we've been

112
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 4: able to get them a lot of experience early in

113
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 4: the season, so you know, hopefully, and that's that's one

114
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 4: of our things. Man. We got to keep developing these

115
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 4: guys all the way through. We never stopped with the

116
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 4: skill instruction and and all the film work that we

117
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 4: do on the side and just trying to get him

118
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 4: be the best they can be.

119
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,000

123
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,680

124
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,200
