21
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 4: No, I can't know.

22
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:08,360

25
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 3: throw me out there like the wolves. You can let

26
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 3: me work on it.

27
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,119
Speaker 4: I worked on it for a while.

28
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 2: You looked in the mirror in order to do that.

29
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 4: I try to look like you. I grab my mic

30
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 4: Do I do that?

31
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 5: Yeah?

32
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 3: But you don't have a glass of wine in front

33
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 3: of you, so the coke wouldn't do it from me.

34
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 2: That's true.

35
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 4: That's true.

36
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 2: I'm strictly a pepsi drinker here at the original Montgomery

37
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 2: and So this is our last show before the season begins.

38
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 2: We've got Bear Cap basketball coming up on Monday night

39
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 2: and then again on Friday next week, a couple of

40
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 2: home games. It begins on Monday night against Western Carolina.

41
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 2: I guess so we always ask you a question along

42
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 2: these lines at this time of year, But how are

43
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,559
Speaker 2: you feeling this close to the start of the season

44
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 2: about your team's readiness to go.

45
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 5: I think we're a lot more ready than we were

46
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 5: the last we we got together for a radio show.

47
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 5: It's been a productive preseason. I think that the players

48
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 5: are ready to get out and do it for real

49
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,679
Speaker 5: against somebody with a different Jersey on and it. I

50
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 5: always get excited this time of year as well, so

51
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 5: you know, we're ready for the first game. We've had

52
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 5: our probably most productive week of practice this week, our

53
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 5: most spirited week of practice, and that's been good for

54
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 5: all of us players, coaches included.

55
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 3: I don't know if you got a haircutter, you just

56
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 3: or up at night pulling your hair out. But after

57
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 3: two non conference games, what are some things you say, Okay,

58
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 3: we can build on this, and other things you say,

59
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 3: you know, we gotta we gotta shortens up a little bit.

60
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 4: Exhibition games, That's what I say. I'm kind of this

61
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 4: will be.

62
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 5: The first non conference but it's a laundry list. You know,

63
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 5: there's there was in both exhibitions. There's there's certainly some

64
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 5: things that we were able to point out that were

65
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 5: positive that should give us some confidence.

66
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 4: You know.

67
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 5: Honestly, it was more when we did the things we've

68
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 5: been practicing and the things that we've spent time on,

69
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 5: they were really good and that should give the guy's

70
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 5: confidence to keep doing those things. When we straight away

71
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 5: from those things, it was really bad and in both games,

72
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 5: and obviously there was more, more good and more stuff

73
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 5: to build on I think in the first exhibition against

74
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 5: Michigan and not quite as much in the second. But

75
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 5: I'd say that we got a lot more in terms

76
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 5: of our preseason development in our second exhibition against Arkansas

77
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 5: that was way more valuable than the first one.

78
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 2: So you played exhibition games on the road against the

79
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 2: number seven ranked team in the country Michigan and the

80
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 2: number fourteen ranked team in the country Arkansas. Do you

81
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 2: have any idea if any other team in the country

82
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 2: tried to do anything like that. I can't imagine another

83
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 2: team played two more difficult road games in exhibition play.

84
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 5: I don't and I haven't looked at it, nor do

85
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 5: I care not to. You know, throw your question to me.

86
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 5: It just was opportunity to really develop our team in

87
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 5: the preseason and tear you ask the question to really,

88
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 5: you know, try to answer some questions when you have

89
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 5: a bunch of new, new people that you're putting together,

90
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 5: to find some real adversity that we can work on

91
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 5: responding to right away, and then you know, obviously to

92
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 5: take some of the positive things and build off of

93
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 5: them or learn how to deal with them. You didn't

94
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 5: you can't plan basketball out right. But what I'd liked

95
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 5: is that we got a little bit of everything from

96
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 5: those two games, and I think we felt pretty good

97
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 5: driving back on the bus from ant Arbor. And you

98
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 5: got to learn in the Big twelve. You know, winning

99
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 5: is great and it feels good, and then it should

100
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 5: on the nights you do it, but you wake up

101
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 5: the next day and you turn the page and you

102
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 5: focus on getting better, and you focus on winning the

103
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 5: details that help you get better, and you have just

104
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 5: as much intent after a win as you do at

105
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 5: any other point. And then when you lose, you can't dwell.

106
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 4: You got to learn from it.

107
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 5: You deal with it, and you focus on getting better

108
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 5: and you have that kind of intent to go win

109
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 5: the next game. And we got to experience not just

110
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 5: those dynamics, but a lot of stuff that comes.

111
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 4: With it all.

112
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 5: And I thought that was important to do with the

113
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 5: team that hadn't been through the battles together. I've said

114
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 5: this a bunch about this team. We have to be

115
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 5: intentionally connected as a group on and off the court,

116
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 5: and we want to play in February like a team

117
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,559
Speaker 5: that's played together for two or three or four years,

118
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 5: even though we just came.

119
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 4: Together this year. That doesn't just happen.

120
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 5: You got to go through some stuff, and so the preseason,

121
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 5: whether it's the exhibitions or some stuff we did that

122
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 5: nobody could see, we have taken them through a little

123
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 5: bit of adversity.

124
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 4: That's been positive for us.

125
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 3: Speaking of improvements from game to game from last year

126
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 3: to this year, halveing Zalt.

127
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,799
Speaker 4: Has been amazing. His growth.

128
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 3: Last year, if you asked him, what do you want

129
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 3: for dinner, he'll say yes, he didn't know them, only English.

130
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 4: But he's speaking fluently.

131
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 3: He's conversing on the sideline with his teammates, and when

132
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 3: he's in the game, the game has slowed down to

133
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,799
Speaker 3: him to the point where you can put him in

134
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 3: in in crunch time or in minutes where you need

135
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 3: baskets and productivity from the post players, and he's coming

136
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 3: through for you.

137
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 5: Well, I'm glad when you asked him last year he

138
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 5: said something because I thought there was time he's supposed

139
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 5: to call out of pick and roll covers and practice

140
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 5: and I don't hear a damn thing. And you know,

141
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 5: I thought maybe it was a French thing or something,

142
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 5: because he's also very soft spoken. And I went over

143
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 5: to France in May to meet his family because that's important.

144
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 4: You know that you get to know everybody's family that

145
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 4: you're coaching.

146
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 5: I met his brother and sister, and they are the

147
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 5: most outgoing, like you know, and and how beings.

148
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 4: So reserved in an introvert.

149
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 5: So I don't know where he got it from, okay,

150
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 5: because his family's not that way. But he is talking better.

151
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 5: But even more importantly, he's really improved. I would say this,

152
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 5: and I'm gonna joke a little bit, but I'm dead serious.

153
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 5: At the same time, he has so much value because

154
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 5: he knows who he is as a player, like he

155
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 5: understands his role, He understands the things that he does well,

156
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 5: and he embraces those things very very much, unlike Terry Tonight,

157
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 5: who knows his role isn't to do the introduction but right,

158
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 5: very much like Layer exactly exactly. But you know, and

159
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 5: I think there's there's so much value in players understanding

160
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 5: who they are where they can be successful.

161
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 4: We say it all the time.

162
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 5: We're not saying you're not capable of doing that, but

163
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 5: you're not as good at doing that as you are

164
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 5: something else. And you're not as good at doing that

165
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 5: as somebody on your team is. So let's play to

166
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 5: our strengths. Halving's improved a lot, and he's also playing

167
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 5: to his strengths.

168
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 2: By the way, Terry, if you ask an offensive lineman

169
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 2: what they want for dinner, they say yes as well,

170
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 2: much like hel being So at the very beginning of

171
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 2: the show, coach, you said, this has been your best

172
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 2: week of prap this. Do you think that's because of

173
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 2: the Arkansas exhibition game?

174
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 5: Well, when I say our best week, it's been the

175
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 5: most important week because to me, we've we've had their

176
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 5: attention in a different way. I thought after the Michigan

177
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 5: week or the Michigan game the following week, I thought

178
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 5: their attitudes were good and their work ethic was good.

179
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 5: I think I said that to you guys in here

180
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 5: that week, but the intention and the focus that that

181
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 5: wasn't where it needed to be. And after I said

182
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 5: this to our staff, I think it was like Tuesday

183
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 5: that week, and I started the bark and holler and

184
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 5: I said, you know what, why for what?

185
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 4: And I'm gonna let them figure this out the hard way.

186
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 5: And then I told him, I said, you guys are

187
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 5: gonna learn, and I wanted to get our butts kicked

188
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 5: down there.

189
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 4: I really did.

190
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,839
Speaker 5: I told I told coach Calipari that we talked a

191
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 5: couple of nights for the game. I said, Coach, we're

192
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 5: not ready.

193
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 4: I just watched you. We've been watching your game, you know.

194
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 5: And then after I talked to him something I really

195
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,319
Speaker 5: get our butts kicked because they were seeming pretty ready.

196
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 4: But I didn't want to get kicked that bad now

197
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 4: beyond milk.

198
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 5: But it was in all in all seriousness, like it's

199
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 5: different than than a regular season game. I mean, it

200
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 5: was an opportunity to learn a lesson. We didn't do

201
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 5: a lot to try to prepare them forward or correct.

202
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 4: What was going on.

203
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 5: And and that's that's been a good way for us

204
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 5: to get their attention this week and they and fairness

205
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 5: to the kids, they've they've responded. And we had a

206
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 5: wild film session on Sunday followed by a practice that

207
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 5: only ended because we ran out of countable athletic related

208
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 5: activity hours. You know where you know, Bill Komar comes out,

209
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 5: go coach, we have to stop right now. You know

210
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 5: that type of thing, Yeah, exactly, you know, it was.

211
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,239
Speaker 4: Just blue past stop signs. They were like yield.

212
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 5: Then we came out the next day and it did again,

213
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 5: and we we did a morning thing and then a

214
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 5: night thing and Coach, we have to stop right now.

215
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 4: So it was it was good. Uh, it was good.

216
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 5: And then you know they I think we've improved this

217
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 5: week a lot, and that's the goal of the preseason.

218
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 4: All right, We're going to take a time out.

219
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 2: We are live at the Original Montgomery in Home of

220
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 2: the World's Greatest Drips. It's the West Miller Radio Show

221
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 2: on seven underd WLWA. We're back at the Original Montgomery

222
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 2: in How of the World's Greatest Drips and the West

223
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 2: Miller Radio Show. I am eating Montgomery in Saratoga Chips

224
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 2: the best. I apologize if that's obvious on the air.

225
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 2: So I was looking at the EP top twenty five.

226
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 2: Six teams from the Big Twelve are ranked in the

227
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 2: preseason poll. Three others, including Cincinnati, are getting votes. Depending

228
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 2: on which pole that you look at. None of this

229
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 2: is surprising to me. We know how good the league is,

230
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 2: but it did underscore to me that no matter how

231
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 2: hard you work to build a great roster, it's always

232
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 2: just going to be difficult to rise to the top

233
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 2: of this league.

234
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 5: Well, I think number one, it's doable. That's the first

235
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 5: thing I'd say. So I'm not gonna sit here and

236
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 5: try to paint some picture that it can't be done.

237
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 4: That's why we're here. It's what we do. What we do,

238
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 4: and while we do the work we.

239
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 5: Do, we'reng But we are in a league where there's

240
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 5: a commitment. There's a commitment collectively from every program in

241
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 5: this league to try to do that. So you have

242
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,319
Speaker 5: sixteen teams. I can't even keep up anymore, sixteen core.

243
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 4: We have sixteen programs that all.

244
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 5: In the Big sixteen, in the Big sixteen, Big twelve

245
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 5: plus four right four. But you have a bunch of

246
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 5: programs that are very, very committed and value basketball success historically.

247
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 5: And obviously there's different levels of that, but you know,

248
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 5: and that's different than being in the league where there's

249
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 5: historical difference or different buy in from a resource standpoint.

250
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 5: This entire league is brought in, which is why and

251
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 5: we say this in recruiting all the time, this isn't

252
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 5: a pitch. If you take a ten year snapshot of

253
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 5: the best basketball league in America in every single metric

254
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 5: over the last ten years, whatever one you want to go,

255
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 5: look at that that could have any value it's been

256
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 5: the Big Twelve. If you take a five year snapshot,

257
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 5: it's been the Big twelve. If you take a three

258
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 5: year snapshot, it's been the Big Twelve. And I know

259
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,319
Speaker 5: the SEC had a banner year last year, but in

260
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 5: any in recent history, it's been our league. And I think, yeah,

261
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 5: it's going to be difficult to rise up in a

262
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 5: league or to be at the very top of the

263
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 5: league when it's been that dang good. But won't that

264
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 5: make it that much more sweet type of thing?

265
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 3: Then you bring routinely, you bring in officials to come

266
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 3: in and officiate your scrimmages, and you tell them, hey,

267
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 3: officiate us like you're going to do in a game,

268
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 3: call the hand checks. Call this with new rules being

269
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 3: implemented with the continuation rule, Now, guy if on the gather,

270
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 3: if he's hit and he gathers that thing, you're going

271
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,319
Speaker 3: to see an NBA continuation, which more fans don't understand

272
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 3: because they didn't they didn't know it's a new rule.

273
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 3: A guy is gonna take two steps after he got

274
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 3: touched and he's gonna put the ball in and normally

275
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 3: you're used to the wave off, and it's gonna be

276
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 3: a basket and now you get a chance to use

277
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 3: your challenge, where in other times they would they would challenge.

278
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 4: No, that's what you're wrong. We can't challenge that.

279
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 3: Not that challenge I'm telling you get you get challenges now.

280
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, but we can't challenge that.

281
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 3: We can't challenge the gather now.

282
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 5: We can't challenge anything we got. We do get a challenge,

283
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 5: you get one.

284
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 4: If you win it, you're gonna If you win it,

285
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 4: you get it back.

286
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 5: And then way if you want them both, you're still out.

287
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 4: Can you challenge.

288
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 5: Basically nothing, to be honest.

289
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 2: I mean you can inbound like out of bound, inbound.

290
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 4: You can challenge.

291
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 5: You can challenge an out of balance call, and you

292
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,719
Speaker 5: can challenge a restricted area.

293
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 4: Call, meaning.

294
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 5: Or somebody called a block charge based on the circle.

295
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 5: So it has to be a secondary defender. You can

296
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 5: challenge that call.

297
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 3: Kirk Chris, I would have got two of those in

298
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:04,599
Speaker 3: the Michigan.

299
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 5: No, because that wasn't a just a block charge. You

300
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 5: can't you can't challenge block charge. But you can challenge

301
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 5: a block charge that was based on the restricted area.

302
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 5: So if they call a block and they point to

303
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 5: the restricted area, you can challenge that not.

304
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 4: A block point.

305
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 5: It has to be that specific thing, which I mean

306
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 5: that didn't even have like so but really and then

307
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 5: you can challenge goaltending, but only if they call it

308
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 5: like you can't challenge a play that.

309
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 3: But that was normally they would go to the monitor

310
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 3: on a goltend anyway.

311
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 4: That was that was that was fairly new where they So.

312
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 5: Now they won't just like they would go to the

313
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 5: monitor in the last two minutes on out of bounds,

314
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 5: they're not doing that. So what the reason they're doing

315
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 5: this is to try to speed up the play so

316
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 5: there's not as much stoppage at the end of the game.

317
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 3: Stop the three man huddles after they went to the monitor,

318
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 3: and then the one of them leaves, another one comes

319
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 3: back in, and then they look and they get in

320
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 3: in a little tripod and it we're scratching your head

321
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 3: and what the hell's going?

322
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 2: Don't why don't they start with all three? That's migrape.

323
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 2: It's always the two guys and then come on over

324
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 2: now have all three discuss it.

325
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 3: And he's pulling his pants up and you know, talking

326
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 3: about what happened and what you're eating tonight. I don't

327
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 3: know what the hell were eating and that's just called

328
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 3: a block all right, Cool, you know twenty three on

329
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 3: the block, Derek Cat's out outside. Let's stop it. I'm

330
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:29,119
Speaker 3: getting frustrated.

331
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 5: I'm getting more frustrated. Number one, what you just described

332
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 5: it sounds about exactly right.

333
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 4: I can think it, singing it a lot.

334
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 5: But in seriousness, you're not you know, the block charge

335
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 5: thing in the restricted area, like there's two calls a year,

336
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 5: and you're not going to challenge that and lose your

337
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 5: one challenge?

338
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 4: Okay, out of bounds? Right, this is what this is

339
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 4: what I brought up.

340
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 5: So what happens if I'm standing on the sideline in

341
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 5: the first half with ten minutes left in the first

342
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 5: half and I watched the player on the other team

343
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 5: step out of bounds.

344
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 4: I'm sorry they called.

345
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 5: I'm sorry they call out of bounds on us, and

346
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 5: I saw that we didn't step out.

347
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 4: Of bounds like that kind of a challenge.

348
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 5: What if the camera angle can't see what I saw, Well,

349
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 5: then they're gonna say, not enough evidence, you lose your

350
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 5: challenge and you better save that for the last two minutes.

351
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 5: And now all the stuff they would go just get

352
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 5: right to get the play right. Now you have to

353
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 5: have a challenge to do it. And what if they

354
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 5: make two or three bad calls on a deflected ball

355
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 5: or something and they can't go to the monitor.

356
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 4: All they've done, in my opinion, is make it.

357
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 5: More difficult on the referees right and make it more

358
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 5: likely that they don't get the play right.

359
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 4: And to me, that is idiotic.

360
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 5: And I find the whole process do things to make

361
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 5: the game better, not make the game worse. And so

362
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 5: I loved the idea of a challenge like the NBA

363
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 5: where you could really challenge real calls, you know, and

364
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 5: then you could get your challenges back if you get

365
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 5: them right. And then so album was like, yeah, that's great,

366
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 5: that's fun new strategy. But I'll tell you what, whatever

367
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,120
Speaker 5: they rolled out, it's worse.

368
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 4: It doesn't make it. It doesn't make sense.

369
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 5: You're not even gonna use a challenge because you you

370
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 5: better save it for that into game scenario where they

371
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 5: used to review it on their own. And so that's frustrating,

372
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 5: and it's not fair to the officials either.

373
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 4: Fairness down. You know, it's easy to pick them on

374
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 4: the radio show, but.

375
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 5: It's it's not fair. It makes their jobs harder. Too,

376
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:35,719
Speaker 5: just like the freedom of movement thing. I've said this

377
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 5: to officials before when they started, you know, talking about

378
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 5: freedom of movement before and the and the gather. I've

379
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 5: asked them, do you understand the rule? And a lot

380
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 5: of them that they're honest, will say, Hell, we don't

381
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 5: understand it. We just call blocks because we don't.

382
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 4: We don't even know what it's not.

383
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 5: We're making it more difficult on the people officiating the game,

384
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 5: and so then we're more frustrating when the games have

385
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 5: officiated and it doesn't go our way. And so again

386
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 5: we've made some big mistakes with the rules. Uh in

387
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 5: college basketball, these changes I know you might you may

388
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 5: have seemed excited, but as you look into them, they're

389
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 5: actually not real exciting.

390
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 2: So here's the deal, though, with every league that has replay,

391
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:20,199
Speaker 2: it always starts with just a little bit, and that

392
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 2: it increases in order to get the calls right ultimately,

393
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,199
Speaker 2: So that's what's going to happen. You'll put up with

394
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 2: it this year and it's going to stink, and there'll

395
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 2: be games where they get it wrong and it hurts

396
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 2: one team.

397
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 4: Or the other. Well, next year they'll fix it.

398
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 5: I'll be all anything this year if it favors Cincinnati,

399
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 5: I'm with you there, yeah.

400
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 3: And you would know that you started on Triple A ball,

401
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,679
Speaker 3: they didn't have instant replay back where you were on buses.

402
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, definitely, But in many sports, I mean it's

403
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 2: not that wasn't that long ago that Major League Baseball

404
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 2: did not have replay And now they're you know, doing

405
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 2: the signal to go to the headphones and check the reviews,

406
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 2: and they do get the calls have been better. It

407
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 2: slows down the game a little bit, but they get

408
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 2: it right.

409
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 3: Coach, In these two exhibition games, you played up to

410
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 3: twelve players that are capable of playing. So we know

411
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 3: that you may or may not trim that down. But

412
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 3: how do you determine that When guys are having good practices.

413
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 3: It's spirited and you know at some point you're gonna

414
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 3: have to trim it down. But you have to use

415
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 3: these non conference games to sort of get everybody up

416
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:29,199
Speaker 3: to speed.

417
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 5: Or we played eleven guys minutes, right, I mean, I

418
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 5: think we played two guys minutes. At the very very

419
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,360
Speaker 5: end of the Arkansas we were playing eleven guys. Significantly

420
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 5: in both trimmage. I'll tell you what we had that

421
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 5: that that film session after the Arkansas game, and the

422
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 5: first comment that I made was all this equal opportunity.

423
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 4: That's done now, so you know.

424
00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 5: You know, we basically for the most part, we're playing

425
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 5: guys equal minutes. I didn't I made a couple of

426
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 5: subs in the Arkansas game to get people out because

427
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 5: of plays that I just thought were unacceptable.

428
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 4: To make a point, but I didn't even sub in

429
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 4: the games. I didn't care.

430
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 5: I just wanted to see us put some different lineups

431
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 5: out and have a chance to learn our team and

432
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 5: let guys play. That's over now, Like we're going to

433
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 5: try to be strategic about minutes and lineups, and I

434
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,959
Speaker 5: think that does make practice a little more competitive when

435
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 5: people feel like that's real.

436
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 2: Jalen Celestie missed some time due to injury, but he

437
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 2: played in the Arkansas game. How is he coming along

438
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 2: in terms of you know, his stamini and his ability

439
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 2: to be a significant role players.

440
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 4: He's coming along.

441
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 5: I think we've done a nice job as a staff

442
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 5: and made this clear to him.

443
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 4: You have to put in perspective, right.

444
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 5: He didn't play basketball from you know, the basically the

445
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 5: early July until two weeks ago, and so when you

446
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 5: haven't played live basketball for that long a period of time,

447
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 5: even if you're a fifth year senior and a terrific

448
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 5: player like Jalen Is, it's gonna take a little time

449
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 5: to get back in the flow. It's been great to

450
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 5: have him in practices the last couple of weeks. It

451
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 5: was great to get him some minutes in our in

452
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 5: a real exhibition game. But he is not, in my opinion,

453
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 5: thirty percent of the effectiveness that he's going to be

454
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 5: as a player, and we're gonna have to kind of

455
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 5: work him through it here over the next month because

456
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 5: when we get to Big twelve play, he's got to

457
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 5: be a major part of what we're doing. He's, you know, versatile,

458
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 5: he's six' seven, plus he's got a plus wingspand he's really.

459
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 4: Bright he's really.

460
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,640
Speaker 5: Skilled everybody because of his experience At baylor last, year

461
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 5: knows about his.

462
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 4: Shooting. Right he was a great, shoot one of.

463
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 5: The better catch and shoot shooters in our. League he's

464
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 5: really good with the. BASKETBALL i think we can put

465
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 5: him in pick and. ROLL i think in, space he's

466
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 5: really good. Downhill he can guard three or four. Positions

467
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 5: now he's going to be incredibly important to our. Team

468
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 5: but you're looking at a guy right now that's just

469
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:01,760

573
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 5: Difficult, yeah that stuff's for sure goes, on And i'm

574
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 5: sure the same thing goes on when kids leap our.

575
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 4: PROGRAM i think the same. Conversations you're, Natural brian.

576
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,479
Speaker 7: Coach you've mentioned several times that you really like the

577
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 7: exhibition games for what you get out of, them and

578
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:34,679
Speaker 7: you would actually be a fan.

579
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 4: Of more so if LIKE i think you said four

580
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 4: in your, presser but you, know.

581
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 5: We have like five weeks of true. PRESEASON i mean

582
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 5: four or five is what i'd. Say if you could

583
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 5: play one a, week and maybe not the first week

584
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 5: because you're trying to you're not probably ready physically to

585
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 5: handle a real. Game but if we could play one a,

586
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 5: WEEK i just think there's so Much we get so

587
00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 5: much out of, that and the product would be so

588
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:02,919
Speaker 5: much better at the start of the season for college,

589
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 5: basketball because you're not going to get a competitive advantage

590
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 5: if everybody can do, it AND i think all the

591
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,679
Speaker 5: players and coaches would. Agree you, know you get to

592
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 5: this point after think about, this, guys in what in

593
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 5: what professional league in the world do you go through

594
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 5: five weeks of preseason and barely play against anybody? ELSE

595
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 5: i mean THERE'S i, mean so what what what sense

596
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 5: does it make what we're.

597
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 4: Doing you, know if we follow the same rules of

598
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 4: how we.

599
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 5: Evolve in college, athletics we'll go from from two to

600
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 5: thirty five or something.

601
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 4: Like you, know there'll be no.

602
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 5: Bridge, right but but but but, NO i think it

603
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 5: would make college basketball better In november And. DECEMBER i

604
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 5: think it would make the preseason more. PRODUCTIVE i know

605
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 5: it would be better for players and coaches.

606
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 4: To follow that. Up how would YOU.

607
00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 7: I know you say that there's no real like design

608
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 7: of what you're looking. For you kind of have to

609
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 7: take teams that are willing to do what you're trying

610
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 7: to do as. Well but how would you handle if

611
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 7: you were able to have four? Games would you have

612
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 7: would you be going more road games for the? Adversity

613
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 7: would you mix a home game? In would do you

614
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 7: have any ideas of how you would like it to?

615
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 5: Go, yeah it would make sense to probably just break

616
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 5: into two and.

617
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 4: TWO i mean if.

618
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 5: You have had your way and try to play against

619
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 5: different styles like when WE i didn't get into this,

620
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 5: much you know in press, conferences but you Know michigan switches,

621
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 5: everything you, Know dusty the last couple of years when

622
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 5: It's Florida atlantic and At, michigan you know they've they've

623
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 5: been a great switching team and sometimes switch all five,

624
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 5: ways like they switch with the five. Man sometimes they

625
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 5: do some creative stuff that's almost like a match zone

626
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 5: to keep the five at. Home you know that you're

627
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 5: going to see that throughout the. Season maybe not all the,

628
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 5: time BUT i was excited to scrimmage him Because i'm,

629
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 5: like that'd be great to see and that's so much

630
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 5: different than how we. Play it'd be great to go

631
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 5: against that. Early so when we see that in our

632
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 5: league and there's at least one team in our league

633
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 5: that plays that, way but probably. More that's not the

634
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 5: first time we prepared for, that you, know, like give

635
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 5: you an, example we Played. Baylor baylor played that way last.

636
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 5: Year they were switching five ways at, times like and

637
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 5: similar to What dusty does At. Michigan we had a

638
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 5: one day prep For baylor because of the way the

639
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 5: schedule was laid, Out so the first time we'd really

640
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 5: been able to dive into that since the preseason we

641
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 5: did it in practice a little, bit was with one

642
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 5: day before a league.

643
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 4: Game you, know that's.

644
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 5: Difficult but being able to Play michigan this, year Whether

645
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 5: baylor plays that way again or somebody else in the

646
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 5: league or multiple now we've.

647
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 4: Seen that kind of.

648
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 5: Defense LIKE i think you maybe you'd want to play

649
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 5: against somebody that plays a lot his, Own like there's

650
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 5: there's some benefits to. That you, know when we play

651
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 5: against ourselves every, day you try to every, coach we're

652
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 5: all trying to find an element of playing against different

653
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 5: pick and roll, coverages playing against different screening, coverages playing

654
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 5: against different styles of.

655
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 4: Defense but you're also.

656
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 5: Trying to build who you, are and so you end

657
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 5: up planning it's the same thing all the, time and

658
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 5: when you play against people that are, different you learn

659
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 5: a lot and grow a, lot and so, again i'd

660
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 5: love to be able to do that every.

661
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,280

688
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 2: we've got a few more questions from the. Audience brian

689
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 2: is back for round.

690
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:51,239
Speaker 7: Two, coach you said something at the end of your

691
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 7: answer to my last question that actually sparked another. Question

692
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 7: you're talking about how you're trying to change things when

693
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 7: you practice against, yourself you're seeing you don't face your

694
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 7: own defense all year, long so you have to try

695
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 7: to prepare for other. Things how do you balance that

696
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 7: so that you're not setting yourself back for what you're

697
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 7: trying to do and implement for your own, defense you,

698
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 7: know and.

699
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 5: It goes both, ways, right because you're also trying to

700
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 5: defend things you don't.

701
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 4: Do that's a delicate balancing. Act, AGAIN i think in the.

702
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 5: Preseason the first thing you're trying to do is establish your.

703
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 5: Identity you're trying to build your, foundation and you don't

704
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 5: ever want to veer away from. That but you, know

705
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 5: whether we're in shell and we play out of a

706
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 5: certain sequence.

707
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 4: That we're not going to run on, offense but it.

708
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 5: Can help build offensive habits of screening or passing or,

709
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 5: movement but you are going to have to guard those

710
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 5: sequences throughout a basketball. Season like that's something that that's

711
00:33:56,720 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 5: very common in what we. Do we try to, get

712
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 5: like that scout team to maybe run different offense against

713
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 5: us than we run against each. Other we try to

714
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 5: get them to play different, defense but sometimes they can't

715
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 5: give the real kind of. Resistance so we don't do

716
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:14,760
Speaker 5: a lot of, it but we try to do enough

717
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 5: so when you're in that one day prep for a

718
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 5: league game and you see something that you don't see,

719
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,880
Speaker 5: often you've at least addressed it at some, point like

720
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 5: it's not the first time they've heard this is how

721
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 5: we ATTACK, x or this is how we defend why you.

722
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,959
Speaker 4: Know that type of. Thing and so that's the.

723
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,879
Speaker 5: Fun part of coaching is putting that puzzle. Together when

724
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 5: you build out a thirty practice.

725
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 3: Preseason you've built a roster full of superheroes when they

726
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 3: all get their own, superpower but multiple positions they can.

727
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 3: Play WHEN i see a guy Like Bobba miller who

728
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 3: literally can bring the ball, up initiate, offense make plays

729
00:34:56,680 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 3: for other, guys how will you use him going? Forward

730
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,359
Speaker 3: when it seems like he's a guy that you can

731
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 3: basically run offense, from if not for the whole, game

732
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 3: stretches of the game where you can run it through.

733
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 5: Him he's been fascinating to, coach and you, know to,

734
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:14,800
Speaker 5: DATE i really commend his work. Ethic he's been getting

735
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 5: up in the mornings and doing extra work over the

736
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 5: last month with our, Staff like we were able to

737
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,399
Speaker 5: identify a couple of things that were holding him back

738
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 5: that were kind of fundamental, things and our staff has

739
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 5: been in the gym with him almost every morning as

740
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 5: long as you, know we're within rules, right that type of.

741
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 5: Thing but and he's really embraced, that and you can

742
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 5: see his game. Improving you can see him embracing some

743
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 5: of the things we do, defensively and he's really. Improving

744
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:44,439
Speaker 5: but one of our challenges with the guy that it's six'

745
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 5: eleven and can feasibly do everything on. The court is

746
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 5: figuring out the things that he can do the best

747
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 5: and figuring out how he can be in position to

748
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 5: do those. Things consistently and that's been a PROCESS that i,

749
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 5: You know i've been open about with him and his

750
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 5: representatives in the summer and certainly throughout this process is

751
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:10,360
Speaker 5: like the, summer terry we tried him in like different

752
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,319
Speaker 5: every week we did something, DIFFERENT today i want you

753
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 5: to play this, this week you're playing, this position or focus.

754
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 5: On this the next week we do something. Totally different

755
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 5: and we were trying to. Learn him AND then i

756
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 5: was able to Go to spain to watch him play

757
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 5: For the spanish national Team, in august and My girlfriend

758
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 5: LAUREN and i were there and watched two games in,

759
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 5: three DAYS and i got to watch all his practices

760
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 5: over that time, as WELL and i learned a, lot

761
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 5: there like trying, to learn, you know seeing him comfortable

762
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 5: in that environment and where why he. Was comfortable so

763
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 5: it's been a process, with him but he does have

764
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 5: this ability to affect the game on both ends in

765
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,800
Speaker 5: like so many. Different ways he's going to be really

766
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 5: fun for our fans. To watch and then it's going

767
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 5: to be fun to watch how he continues to evolve throughout.

768
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 2: The year you've got quite a few players with internet.

769
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 2: National backgrounds excuse me on. The roster were they simply

770
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 2: the best available players that you were able to get

771
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 2: to Commit to cincinnati or is there something about the

772
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 2: way the game is being played in other parts of

773
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 2: the world that you thought would be good for.

774
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 4: Your, TEAM well i think for a.

775
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 5: LONG time i don't want to, put exact but over

776
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 5: a decade and. Some change, you know we started looking

777
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 5: into the international market for recruiting back before you got

778
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 5: real popular like it did the last, two years, you

779
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 5: know before everybody was, doing that because we were trying

780
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 5: to just find a way to, be different not to just,

781

784
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:53,479
Speaker 5: a confidence there in a comfort of kind of where

790
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 5: from and how. It translates but the real answer to

791
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,319
Speaker 5: your question, is no there's not wasn't some strategic let's

792
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 5: go get as many. International players we're just looking for

793
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 5: the right players That pitt cincinnati and the international recruiting

794
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,439
Speaker 5: is something we're, familiar with but by, the way now

795
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 5: it's becoming so much more prevalent because of. The money

796
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 5: all these kids that weren't coming over before all, coming

797
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:36,800
Speaker 5: now and so, you see it's not just, our roster

798
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 5: but just look at, international basketball throughout our international players throughout.

799
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 5: College basketball it's like it's multiplied by. Enormous amounts, so.

800
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 2: Well it's also one of the Reasons why gonzaga has

801
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 2: been so good for. So long typically they've kind of

802
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 2: had their pick of some of the best, international players

803
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 2: and it's one of the reasons why they have consistently

804
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 2: BEEN an ncaa turn team and in some seasons one

805
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 2: of the very best teams in.

806
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 5: The country they would be the Example Of saint mary's

807
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 5: would be another one example of teams that invested in

808
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:10,799
Speaker 5: that a long.

809
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 4: Time ago and have been.

810
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 5: Very consistent but again in today's world the last couple,

811
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 5: of years it's not as much of an advantage anymore

812
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 5: because it's Common The, big twelve, for examples Recruiting, in

837
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:35,399

839
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 5: two games and, SHE went I think i'm good now,

840
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 5: right right.

841
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:48,400
Speaker 4: She went shopping, Or something, but.

842
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 5: No it was.

843
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 4: Very important.

844
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:53,280
Speaker 5: You know, number one, you know the scouting, is important

845
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 5: so you got to make the efforts to get over

846
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 5: there and. See guys and then, number two like getting

847
00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 5: out to meet families and see where players. ARE from

848
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 5: i think it allows you to coach them on a.

849
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 5: Different level as, you mentioned, you know you want to

850
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:10,880
Speaker 5: be able to drive and coach guys extremely hard so

851
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:12,880
Speaker 5: that you can get the most out. Of THEM then

852
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:16,359
Speaker 5: i found with today's, young person it's no different than

853
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 5: YOU and i, you know but today's young person wants

854
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:21,360
Speaker 5: to know that you're invested in.

855
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 4: You care where in our.

856
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 5: Generation it was, just you your your parents told you

857
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 5: do what the heck. To, coach period you found that

858
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 5: you care because they know that that's.

859
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 4: That's right so like it's not that you can coach any.

860
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 5: Less, Hard, now uh you might not be able to

861
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 5: do some of the same things because you'll get run

862
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 5: run out of, the program, you know that type. Of

863
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:43,880
Speaker 5: thing but, but uh but they still want it to

864
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 5: be held the. High standards they want a lot demanded,

865
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:47,800
Speaker 5: of them but they want to know that you care and.

866
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 4: You're INVESTED and i think.

867
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 5: Going and meeting people and understanding where, THEY'RE from i

868
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:54,320
Speaker 5: think it allows you to coach them a.

869
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 4: Little harder that's just that's just.

870
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:58,360
Speaker 2: One reason the university put out a news release today
