Speaker 1: Skyline Chili feeling good. It's Skyline time and the original
Speaker 1: Montgomery In and the montgomery In at the boat House,
Speaker 1: home of the World's Greatest Dribs. Now here's Dan Horde,
Speaker 1: Terry Nelson and UC's head coach Wes Miller on the
Speaker 1: Home of the Bearcats seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 2: It is shell time. Very pleasant, good evening, everybody. Greetings
Speaker 2: from the original montgomery In, Home of the World's Greatest Ribs.
Speaker 2: Welcome to the West Miller Radio Show. I'm Dan Horbit,
Speaker 2: former Bearcats stand out Terry Nelson, and the star of
Speaker 2: the show. Let's hear it for you see men's basketball
Speaker 2: coach Wes Miller.
Speaker 3: I was hoping you weren't as efficient and proficient as
Speaker 3: last week because I rehearsed the opener.
Speaker 4: I was ready because you told me you're gonna.
Speaker 3: Have to start the show off, because you know I
Speaker 3: got the Bengals thing. Yeah, I'm gonna be a little
Speaker 3: bit late. So I'm over here in the mirror I'm doing.
Speaker 3: All my stuff is shoke Tom like the whole thing.
Speaker 2: Very Let me ask you this question, would you like
Speaker 2: to be the person that starts the show?
Speaker 4: No, I can't know.
Speaker 3: I can't.
Speaker 2: You just did it extremely well.
Speaker 3: It's got to be special. Let's got You can't just
Speaker 3: throw me out there like the wolves. You can let
Speaker 3: me work on it.
Speaker 4: I worked on it for a while.
Speaker 2: You looked in the mirror in order to do that.
Speaker 4: I try to look like you. I grab my mic
Speaker 4: Do I do that?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: But you don't have a glass of wine in front
Speaker 3: of you, so the coke wouldn't do it from me.
Speaker 2: That's true.
Speaker 4: That's true.
Speaker 2: I'm strictly a pepsi drinker here at the original Montgomery
Speaker 2: and So this is our last show before the season begins.
Speaker 2: We've got Bear Cap basketball coming up on Monday night
Speaker 2: and then again on Friday next week, a couple of
Speaker 2: home games. It begins on Monday night against Western Carolina.
Speaker 2: I guess so we always ask you a question along
Speaker 2: these lines at this time of year, But how are
Speaker 2: you feeling this close to the start of the season
Speaker 2: about your team's readiness to go.
Speaker 5: I think we're a lot more ready than we were
Speaker 5: the last we we got together for a radio show.
Speaker 5: It's been a productive preseason. I think that the players
Speaker 5: are ready to get out and do it for real
Speaker 5: against somebody with a different Jersey on and it. I
Speaker 5: always get excited this time of year as well, so
Speaker 5: you know, we're ready for the first game. We've had
Speaker 5: our probably most productive week of practice this week, our
Speaker 5: most spirited week of practice, and that's been good for
Speaker 5: all of us players, coaches included.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you got a haircutter, you just
Speaker 3: or up at night pulling your hair out. But after
Speaker 3: two non conference games, what are some things you say, Okay,
Speaker 3: we can build on this, and other things you say,
Speaker 3: you know, we gotta we gotta shortens up a little bit.
Speaker 4: Exhibition games, That's what I say. I'm kind of this
Speaker 4: will be.
Speaker 5: The first non conference but it's a laundry list. You know,
Speaker 5: there's there was in both exhibitions. There's there's certainly some
Speaker 5: things that we were able to point out that were
Speaker 5: positive that should give us some confidence.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 5: Honestly, it was more when we did the things we've
Speaker 5: been practicing and the things that we've spent time on,
Speaker 5: they were really good and that should give the guy's
Speaker 5: confidence to keep doing those things. When we straight away
Speaker 5: from those things, it was really bad and in both games,
Speaker 5: and obviously there was more, more good and more stuff
Speaker 5: to build on I think in the first exhibition against
Speaker 5: Michigan and not quite as much in the second. But
Speaker 5: I'd say that we got a lot more in terms
Speaker 5: of our preseason development in our second exhibition against Arkansas
Speaker 5: that was way more valuable than the first one.
Speaker 2: So you played exhibition games on the road against the
Speaker 2: number seven ranked team in the country Michigan and the
Speaker 2: number fourteen ranked team in the country Arkansas. Do you
Speaker 2: have any idea if any other team in the country
Speaker 2: tried to do anything like that. I can't imagine another
Speaker 2: team played two more difficult road games in exhibition play.
Speaker 5: I don't and I haven't looked at it, nor do
Speaker 5: I care not to. You know, throw your question to me.
Speaker 5: It just was opportunity to really develop our team in
Speaker 5: the preseason and tear you ask the question to really,
Speaker 5: you know, try to answer some questions when you have
Speaker 5: a bunch of new, new people that you're putting together,
Speaker 5: to find some real adversity that we can work on
Speaker 5: responding to right away, and then you know, obviously to
Speaker 5: take some of the positive things and build off of
Speaker 5: them or learn how to deal with them. You didn't
Speaker 5: you can't plan basketball out right. But what I'd liked
Speaker 5: is that we got a little bit of everything from
Speaker 5: those two games, and I think we felt pretty good
Speaker 5: driving back on the bus from ant Arbor. And you
Speaker 5: got to learn in the Big twelve. You know, winning
Speaker 5: is great and it feels good, and then it should
Speaker 5: on the nights you do it, but you wake up
Speaker 5: the next day and you turn the page and you
Speaker 5: focus on getting better, and you focus on winning the
Speaker 5: details that help you get better, and you have just
Speaker 5: as much intent after a win as you do at
Speaker 5: any other point. And then when you lose, you can't dwell.
Speaker 4: You got to learn from it.
Speaker 5: You deal with it, and you focus on getting better
Speaker 5: and you have that kind of intent to go win
Speaker 5: the next game. And we got to experience not just
Speaker 5: those dynamics, but a lot of stuff that comes.
Speaker 4: With it all.
Speaker 5: And I thought that was important to do with the
Speaker 5: team that hadn't been through the battles together. I've said
Speaker 5: this a bunch about this team. We have to be
Speaker 5: intentionally connected as a group on and off the court,
Speaker 5: and we want to play in February like a team
Speaker 5: that's played together for two or three or four years,
Speaker 5: even though we just came.
Speaker 4: Together this year. That doesn't just happen.
Speaker 5: You got to go through some stuff, and so the preseason,
Speaker 5: whether it's the exhibitions or some stuff we did that
Speaker 5: nobody could see, we have taken them through a little
Speaker 5: bit of adversity.
Speaker 4: That's been positive for us.
Speaker 3: Speaking of improvements from game to game from last year
Speaker 3: to this year, halveing Zalt.
Speaker 4: Has been amazing. His growth.
Speaker 3: Last year, if you asked him, what do you want
Speaker 3: for dinner, he'll say yes, he didn't know them, only English.
Speaker 4: But he's speaking fluently.
Speaker 3: He's conversing on the sideline with his teammates, and when
Speaker 3: he's in the game, the game has slowed down to
Speaker 3: him to the point where you can put him in
Speaker 3: in in crunch time or in minutes where you need
Speaker 3: baskets and productivity from the post players, and he's coming
Speaker 3: through for you.
Speaker 5: Well, I'm glad when you asked him last year he
Speaker 5: said something because I thought there was time he's supposed
Speaker 5: to call out of pick and roll covers and practice
Speaker 5: and I don't hear a damn thing. And you know,
Speaker 5: I thought maybe it was a French thing or something,
Speaker 5: because he's also very soft spoken. And I went over
Speaker 5: to France in May to meet his family because that's important.
Speaker 4: You know that you get to know everybody's family that
Speaker 4: you're coaching.
Speaker 5: I met his brother and sister, and they are the
Speaker 5: most outgoing, like you know, and and how beings.
Speaker 4: So reserved in an introvert.
Speaker 5: So I don't know where he got it from, okay,
Speaker 5: because his family's not that way. But he is talking better.
Speaker 5: But even more importantly, he's really improved. I would say this,
Speaker 5: and I'm gonna joke a little bit, but I'm dead serious.
Speaker 5: At the same time, he has so much value because
Speaker 5: he knows who he is as a player, like he
Speaker 5: understands his role, He understands the things that he does well,
Speaker 5: and he embraces those things very very much, unlike Terry Tonight,
Speaker 5: who knows his role isn't to do the introduction but right,
Speaker 5: very much like Layer exactly exactly. But you know, and
Speaker 5: I think there's there's so much value in players understanding
Speaker 5: who they are where they can be successful.
Speaker 4: We say it all the time.
Speaker 5: We're not saying you're not capable of doing that, but
Speaker 5: you're not as good at doing that as you are
Speaker 5: something else. And you're not as good at doing that
Speaker 5: as somebody on your team is. So let's play to
Speaker 5: our strengths. Halving's improved a lot, and he's also playing
Speaker 5: to his strengths.
Speaker 2: By the way, Terry, if you ask an offensive lineman
Speaker 2: what they want for dinner, they say yes as well,
Speaker 2: much like hel being So at the very beginning of
Speaker 2: the show, coach, you said, this has been your best
Speaker 2: week of prap this. Do you think that's because of
Speaker 2: the Arkansas exhibition game?
Speaker 5: Well, when I say our best week, it's been the
Speaker 5: most important week because to me, we've we've had their
Speaker 5: attention in a different way. I thought after the Michigan
Speaker 5: week or the Michigan game the following week, I thought
Speaker 5: their attitudes were good and their work ethic was good.
Speaker 5: I think I said that to you guys in here
Speaker 5: that week, but the intention and the focus that that
Speaker 5: wasn't where it needed to be. And after I said
Speaker 5: this to our staff, I think it was like Tuesday
Speaker 5: that week, and I started the bark and holler and
Speaker 5: I said, you know what, why for what?
Speaker 4: And I'm gonna let them figure this out the hard way.
Speaker 5: And then I told him, I said, you guys are
Speaker 5: gonna learn, and I wanted to get our butts kicked
Speaker 5: down there.
Speaker 4: I really did.
Speaker 5: I told I told coach Calipari that we talked a
Speaker 5: couple of nights for the game. I said, Coach, we're
Speaker 5: not ready.
Speaker 4: I just watched you. We've been watching your game, you know.
Speaker 5: And then after I talked to him something I really
Speaker 5: get our butts kicked because they were seeming pretty ready.
Speaker 4: But I didn't want to get kicked that bad now
Speaker 4: beyond milk.
Speaker 5: But it was in all in all seriousness, like it's
Speaker 5: different than than a regular season game. I mean, it
Speaker 5: was an opportunity to learn a lesson. We didn't do
Speaker 5: a lot to try to prepare them forward or correct.
Speaker 4: What was going on.
Speaker 5: And and that's that's been a good way for us
Speaker 5: to get their attention this week and they and fairness
Speaker 5: to the kids, they've they've responded. And we had a
Speaker 5: wild film session on Sunday followed by a practice that
Speaker 5: only ended because we ran out of countable athletic related
Speaker 5: activity hours. You know where you know, Bill Komar comes out,
Speaker 5: go coach, we have to stop right now. You know
Speaker 5: that type of thing, Yeah, exactly, you know, it was.
Speaker 4: Just blue past stop signs. They were like yield.
Speaker 5: Then we came out the next day and it did again,
Speaker 5: and we we did a morning thing and then a
Speaker 5: night thing and Coach, we have to stop right now.
Speaker 4: So it was it was good. Uh, it was good.
Speaker 5: And then you know they I think we've improved this
Speaker 5: week a lot, and that's the goal of the preseason.
Speaker 4: All right, We're going to take a time out.
Speaker 2: We are live at the Original Montgomery in Home of
Speaker 2: the World's Greatest Drips. It's the West Miller Radio Show
Speaker 2: on seven underd WLWA. We're back at the Original Montgomery
Speaker 2: in How of the World's Greatest Drips and the West
Speaker 2: Miller Radio Show. I am eating Montgomery in Saratoga Chips
Speaker 2: the best. I apologize if that's obvious on the air.
Speaker 2: So I was looking at the EP top twenty five.
Speaker 2: Six teams from the Big Twelve are ranked in the
Speaker 2: preseason poll. Three others, including Cincinnati, are getting votes. Depending
Speaker 2: on which pole that you look at. None of this
Speaker 2: is surprising to me. We know how good the league is,
Speaker 2: but it did underscore to me that no matter how
Speaker 2: hard you work to build a great roster, it's always
Speaker 2: just going to be difficult to rise to the top
Speaker 2: of this league.
Speaker 5: Well, I think number one, it's doable. That's the first
Speaker 5: thing I'd say. So I'm not gonna sit here and
Speaker 5: try to paint some picture that it can't be done.
Speaker 4: That's why we're here. It's what we do. What we do,
Speaker 4: and while we do the work we.
Speaker 5: Do, we'reng But we are in a league where there's
Speaker 5: a commitment. There's a commitment collectively from every program in
Speaker 5: this league to try to do that. So you have
Speaker 5: sixteen teams. I can't even keep up anymore, sixteen core.
Speaker 4: We have sixteen programs that all.
Speaker 5: In the Big sixteen, in the Big sixteen, Big twelve
Speaker 5: plus four right four. But you have a bunch of
Speaker 5: programs that are very, very committed and value basketball success historically.
Speaker 5: And obviously there's different levels of that, but you know,
Speaker 5: and that's different than being in the league where there's
Speaker 5: historical difference or different buy in from a resource standpoint.
Speaker 5: This entire league is brought in, which is why and
Speaker 5: we say this in recruiting all the time, this isn't
Speaker 5: a pitch. If you take a ten year snapshot of
Speaker 5: the best basketball league in America in every single metric
Speaker 5: over the last ten years, whatever one you want to go,
Speaker 5: look at that that could have any value it's been
Speaker 5: the Big Twelve. If you take a five year snapshot,
Speaker 5: it's been the Big twelve. If you take a three
Speaker 5: year snapshot, it's been the Big Twelve. And I know
Speaker 5: the SEC had a banner year last year, but in
Speaker 5: any in recent history, it's been our league. And I think, yeah,
Speaker 5: it's going to be difficult to rise up in a
Speaker 5: league or to be at the very top of the
Speaker 5: league when it's been that dang good. But won't that
Speaker 5: make it that much more sweet type of thing?
Speaker 3: Then you bring routinely, you bring in officials to come
Speaker 3: in and officiate your scrimmages, and you tell them, hey,
Speaker 3: officiate us like you're going to do in a game,
Speaker 3: call the hand checks. Call this with new rules being
Speaker 3: implemented with the continuation rule, Now, guy if on the gather,
Speaker 3: if he's hit and he gathers that thing, you're going
Speaker 3: to see an NBA continuation, which more fans don't understand
Speaker 3: because they didn't they didn't know it's a new rule.
Speaker 3: A guy is gonna take two steps after he got
Speaker 3: touched and he's gonna put the ball in and normally
Speaker 3: you're used to the wave off, and it's gonna be
Speaker 3: a basket and now you get a chance to use
Speaker 3: your challenge, where in other times they would they would challenge.
Speaker 4: No, that's what you're wrong. We can't challenge that.
Speaker 3: Not that challenge I'm telling you get you get challenges now.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but we can't challenge that.
Speaker 3: We can't challenge the gather now.
Speaker 5: We can't challenge anything we got. We do get a challenge,
Speaker 5: you get one.
Speaker 4: If you win it, you're gonna If you win it,
Speaker 4: you get it back.
Speaker 5: And then way if you want them both, you're still out.
Speaker 4: Can you challenge.
Speaker 5: Basically nothing, to be honest.
Speaker 2: I mean you can inbound like out of bound, inbound.
Speaker 4: You can challenge.
Speaker 5: You can challenge an out of balance call, and you
Speaker 5: can challenge a restricted area.
Speaker 4: Call, meaning.
Speaker 5: Or somebody called a block charge based on the circle.
Speaker 5: So it has to be a secondary defender. You can
Speaker 5: challenge that call.
Speaker 3: Kirk Chris, I would have got two of those in
Speaker 3: the Michigan.
Speaker 5: No, because that wasn't a just a block charge. You
Speaker 5: can't you can't challenge block charge. But you can challenge
Speaker 5: a block charge that was based on the restricted area.
Speaker 5: So if they call a block and they point to
Speaker 5: the restricted area, you can challenge that not.
Speaker 4: A block point.
Speaker 5: It has to be that specific thing, which I mean
Speaker 5: that didn't even have like so but really and then
Speaker 5: you can challenge goaltending, but only if they call it
Speaker 5: like you can't challenge a play that.
Speaker 3: But that was normally they would go to the monitor
Speaker 3: on a goltend anyway.
Speaker 4: That was that was that was fairly new where they So.
Speaker 5: Now they won't just like they would go to the
Speaker 5: monitor in the last two minutes on out of bounds,
Speaker 5: they're not doing that. So what the reason they're doing
Speaker 5: this is to try to speed up the play so
Speaker 5: there's not as much stoppage at the end of the game.
Speaker 3: Stop the three man huddles after they went to the monitor,
Speaker 3: and then the one of them leaves, another one comes
Speaker 3: back in, and then they look and they get in
Speaker 3: in a little tripod and it we're scratching your head
Speaker 3: and what the hell's going?
Speaker 2: Don't why don't they start with all three? That's migrape.
Speaker 2: It's always the two guys and then come on over
Speaker 2: now have all three discuss it.
Speaker 3: And he's pulling his pants up and you know, talking
Speaker 3: about what happened and what you're eating tonight. I don't
Speaker 3: know what the hell were eating and that's just called
Speaker 3: a block all right, Cool, you know twenty three on
Speaker 3: the block, Derek Cat's out outside. Let's stop it. I'm
Speaker 3: getting frustrated.
Speaker 5: I'm getting more frustrated. Number one, what you just described
Speaker 5: it sounds about exactly right.
Speaker 4: I can think it, singing it a lot.
Speaker 5: But in seriousness, you're not you know, the block charge
Speaker 5: thing in the restricted area, like there's two calls a year,
Speaker 5: and you're not going to challenge that and lose your
Speaker 5: one challenge?
Speaker 4: Okay, out of bounds? Right, this is what this is
Speaker 4: what I brought up.
Speaker 5: So what happens if I'm standing on the sideline in
Speaker 5: the first half with ten minutes left in the first
Speaker 5: half and I watched the player on the other team
Speaker 5: step out of bounds.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry they called.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry they call out of bounds on us, and
Speaker 5: I saw that we didn't step out.
Speaker 4: Of bounds like that kind of a challenge.
Speaker 5: What if the camera angle can't see what I saw, Well,
Speaker 5: then they're gonna say, not enough evidence, you lose your
Speaker 5: challenge and you better save that for the last two minutes.
Speaker 5: And now all the stuff they would go just get
Speaker 5: right to get the play right. Now you have to
Speaker 5: have a challenge to do it. And what if they
Speaker 5: make two or three bad calls on a deflected ball
Speaker 5: or something and they can't go to the monitor.
Speaker 4: All they've done, in my opinion, is make it.
Speaker 5: More difficult on the referees right and make it more
Speaker 5: likely that they don't get the play right.
Speaker 4: And to me, that is idiotic.
Speaker 5: And I find the whole process do things to make
Speaker 5: the game better, not make the game worse. And so
Speaker 5: I loved the idea of a challenge like the NBA
Speaker 5: where you could really challenge real calls, you know, and
Speaker 5: then you could get your challenges back if you get
Speaker 5: them right. And then so album was like, yeah, that's great,
Speaker 5: that's fun new strategy. But I'll tell you what, whatever
Speaker 5: they rolled out, it's worse.
Speaker 4: It doesn't make it. It doesn't make sense.
Speaker 5: You're not even gonna use a challenge because you you
Speaker 5: better save it for that into game scenario where they
Speaker 5: used to review it on their own. And so that's frustrating,
Speaker 5: and it's not fair to the officials either.
Speaker 4: Fairness down. You know, it's easy to pick them on
Speaker 4: the radio show, but.
Speaker 5: It's it's not fair. It makes their jobs harder. Too,
Speaker 5: just like the freedom of movement thing. I've said this
Speaker 5: to officials before when they started, you know, talking about
Speaker 5: freedom of movement before and the and the gather. I've
Speaker 5: asked them, do you understand the rule? And a lot
Speaker 5: of them that they're honest, will say, Hell, we don't
Speaker 5: understand it. We just call blocks because we don't.
Speaker 4: We don't even know what it's not.
Speaker 5: We're making it more difficult on the people officiating the game,
Speaker 5: and so then we're more frustrating when the games have
Speaker 5: officiated and it doesn't go our way. And so again
Speaker 5: we've made some big mistakes with the rules. Uh in
Speaker 5: college basketball, these changes I know you might you may
Speaker 5: have seemed excited, but as you look into them, they're
Speaker 5: actually not real exciting.
Speaker 2: So here's the deal, though, with every league that has replay,
Speaker 2: it always starts with just a little bit, and that
Speaker 2: it increases in order to get the calls right ultimately,
Speaker 2: So that's what's going to happen. You'll put up with
Speaker 2: it this year and it's going to stink, and there'll
Speaker 2: be games where they get it wrong and it hurts
Speaker 2: one team.
Speaker 4: Or the other. Well, next year they'll fix it.
Speaker 5: I'll be all anything this year if it favors Cincinnati,
Speaker 5: I'm with you there, yeah.
Speaker 3: And you would know that you started on Triple A ball,
Speaker 3: they didn't have instant replay back where you were on buses.
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, definitely, But in many sports, I mean it's
Speaker 2: not that wasn't that long ago that Major League Baseball
Speaker 2: did not have replay And now they're you know, doing
Speaker 2: the signal to go to the headphones and check the reviews,
Speaker 2: and they do get the calls have been better. It
Speaker 2: slows down the game a little bit, but they get
Speaker 2: it right.
Speaker 3: Coach, In these two exhibition games, you played up to
Speaker 3: twelve players that are capable of playing. So we know
Speaker 3: that you may or may not trim that down. But
Speaker 3: how do you determine that When guys are having good practices.
Speaker 3: It's spirited and you know at some point you're gonna
Speaker 3: have to trim it down. But you have to use
Speaker 3: these non conference games to sort of get everybody up
Speaker 3: to speed.
Speaker 5: Or we played eleven guys minutes, right, I mean, I
Speaker 5: think we played two guys minutes. At the very very
Speaker 5: end of the Arkansas we were playing eleven guys. Significantly
Speaker 5: in both trimmage. I'll tell you what we had that
Speaker 5: that that film session after the Arkansas game, and the
Speaker 5: first comment that I made was all this equal opportunity.
Speaker 4: That's done now, so you know.
Speaker 5: You know, we basically for the most part, we're playing
Speaker 5: guys equal minutes. I didn't I made a couple of
Speaker 5: subs in the Arkansas game to get people out because
Speaker 5: of plays that I just thought were unacceptable.
Speaker 4: To make a point, but I didn't even sub in
Speaker 4: the games. I didn't care.
Speaker 5: I just wanted to see us put some different lineups
Speaker 5: out and have a chance to learn our team and
Speaker 5: let guys play. That's over now, Like we're going to
Speaker 5: try to be strategic about minutes and lineups, and I
Speaker 5: think that does make practice a little more competitive when
Speaker 5: people feel like that's real.
Speaker 2: Jalen Celestie missed some time due to injury, but he
Speaker 2: played in the Arkansas game. How is he coming along
Speaker 2: in terms of you know, his stamini and his ability
Speaker 2: to be a significant role players.
Speaker 4: He's coming along.
Speaker 5: I think we've done a nice job as a staff
Speaker 5: and made this clear to him.
Speaker 4: You have to put in perspective, right.
Speaker 5: He didn't play basketball from you know, the basically the
Speaker 5: early July until two weeks ago, and so when you
Speaker 5: haven't played live basketball for that long a period of time,
Speaker 5: even if you're a fifth year senior and a terrific
Speaker 5: player like Jalen Is, it's gonna take a little time
Speaker 5: to get back in the flow. It's been great to
Speaker 5: have him in practices the last couple of weeks. It
Speaker 5: was great to get him some minutes in our in
Speaker 5: a real exhibition game. But he is not, in my opinion,
Speaker 5: thirty percent of the effectiveness that he's going to be
Speaker 5: as a player, and we're gonna have to kind of
Speaker 5: work him through it here over the next month because
Speaker 5: when we get to Big twelve play, he's got to
Speaker 5: be a major part of what we're doing. He's, you know, versatile,
Speaker 5: he's six' seven, plus he's got a plus wingspand he's really.
Speaker 4: Bright he's really.
Speaker 5: Skilled everybody because of his experience At baylor last, year
Speaker 5: knows about his.
Speaker 4: Shooting. Right he was a great, shoot one of.
Speaker 5: The better catch and shoot shooters in our. League he's
Speaker 5: really good with the. BASKETBALL i think we can put
Speaker 5: him in pick and. ROLL i think in, space he's
Speaker 5: really good. Downhill he can guard three or four. Positions
Speaker 5: now he's going to be incredibly important to our. Team
Speaker 5: but you're looking at a guy right now that's just
Speaker 5: not quite there.
Speaker 4: Yet he knows. It we're going to work him back
Speaker 4: in over. Time.

Speaker 5: dealing with and what they're capable of.
Speaker 4: Becoming and it's Gonna i've said this a.
Speaker 5: Bunch this, is by, far without a, doubt the most
Speaker 5: Fun i've had coaching Since i've been At cincinnati is

Speaker 2: from the. Audience elliott has removed the sling this. Week
Speaker 2: that's good to, see and he's ready with a.
Speaker 1: Question, so a lot of the guys that come to
Speaker 1: your program were probably the best on their high school,
Speaker 1: team so they think they they're that.
Speaker 4: Guy how do you get rid of them?
Speaker 1: Mentality if you have to move them to like a
Speaker 1: role player bench.
Speaker 4: Position good.
Speaker 5: QUESTION a lot of the guys now transferred right or,
Speaker 5: in Like Jeordie rodriguez's place is playing high level professional
Speaker 5: basketball In. Europe so it's not as much as maybe
Speaker 5: it used to Be. Elliott but there are are true.
Speaker 5: Freshmen you, Know sean And, keishawn they were in that
Speaker 5: role a year, ago and SO i think that's for
Speaker 5: a true freshman that that's just a process of, learning
Speaker 5: and you can see true freshmen going through. That but
Speaker 5: it's not as much as it used to be with
Speaker 5: all the.
Speaker 2: Transferring time for question from the assistant coach from what
Speaker 2: section is it? Again to seven the assistant coach in
Speaker 2: section TWO o seven, COACH i appreciate.
Speaker 6: THAT i have two. Questions one with My elise hat,
Speaker 6: on just because it's the day Before, HALLOWEEN i just
Speaker 6: have to, ask And i'm sure your mother is, Listening
Speaker 6: so any texted proof would be. Great Best halloween costume
Speaker 6: you had as Young.
Speaker 4: Wes, oh that's a good. Question that is a good.
Speaker 4: Question there's somewhere my brain hadn't gone in a long long.
Speaker 4: TIME i was Crocodile.
Speaker 2: Dundee, WOW i would give good money for that.
Speaker 5: PHOTO i used to just love that WHEN i was really.
Speaker 5: LITTLE i used to love the, knife you, know like
Speaker 5: that's not a, knife that's not?
Speaker 2: Right, YEAH i. Did that was it was a pretty
Speaker 2: Good it was his, Name Paul. Hogan, yeah that was.
Speaker 2: GOOD i wasn't.
Speaker 4: Bad that's probably.
Speaker 6: Attention wes's. Mother if you could send that To, lauren
Speaker 6: we'd appreciate it, Anyways nona or so basketball related, now so,
Speaker 6: transfers we obviously had. That we had somebody come in From,
Speaker 6: Butler Dan skillings Or, baylor, sorry came in From, baylor
Speaker 6: and Then Dan skillings went To. Baylor we have somebody
Speaker 6: coming From West. Virginia is there some given Like Dan
Speaker 6: skillings doesn't Tell baylor what all we are schemes And
Speaker 6: jalen doesn't Like.
Speaker 2: Team l from the top.
Speaker 6: Row if the person remembers the, schemes what is the
Speaker 6: un given about that from moving from team to.
Speaker 5: TEAM i think there's a lot of sharing that, occurs,
Speaker 5: RIGHT i, mean it's just human. Nature it's. Goods it's
Speaker 5: actually a good. Question i've done that with With jalen for.
Speaker 5: Sure hey tell me about how they do things, there
Speaker 5: AND i do that with all of our. Transfers you,
Speaker 5: know how do they run practice where you came from
Speaker 5: or how did they handle this. SITUATION i think IT'S i,
Speaker 5: MEAN i love, INFORMATION i love learning, things and you
Speaker 5: KNOW i was doing that today where we were installing
Speaker 5: A i shouldn't say that on.
Speaker 4: Them we were stolling something.
Speaker 5: Today we were stalling some kind of defense today AND
Speaker 5: i was Asking jalen in the question about it because
Speaker 5: it was similar to something he played. BEFORE i probably
Speaker 5: Have Western carolina trying to research defenses. Tonight but but,
Speaker 5: YEAH i think you, know, hey, listen we remember you
Speaker 5: played something like that when you Were.
Speaker 4: Baylor what were the, rules what you like about, it
Speaker 4: what was?
Speaker 5: Difficult, yeah that stuff's for sure goes, on And i'm
Speaker 5: sure the same thing goes on when kids leap our.
Speaker 4: PROGRAM i think the same. Conversations you're, Natural brian.
Speaker 7: Coach you've mentioned several times that you really like the
Speaker 7: exhibition games for what you get out of, them and
Speaker 7: you would actually be a fan.
Speaker 4: Of more so if LIKE i think you said four
Speaker 4: in your, presser but you, know.
Speaker 5: We have like five weeks of true. PRESEASON i mean
Speaker 5: four or five is what i'd. Say if you could
Speaker 5: play one a, week and maybe not the first week
Speaker 5: because you're trying to you're not probably ready physically to
Speaker 5: handle a real. Game but if we could play one a,
Speaker 5: WEEK i just think there's so Much we get so
Speaker 5: much out of, that and the product would be so
Speaker 5: much better at the start of the season for college,
Speaker 5: basketball because you're not going to get a competitive advantage
Speaker 5: if everybody can do, it AND i think all the
Speaker 5: players and coaches would. Agree you, know you get to
Speaker 5: this point after think about, this, guys in what in
Speaker 5: what professional league in the world do you go through
Speaker 5: five weeks of preseason and barely play against anybody? ELSE
Speaker 5: i mean THERE'S i, mean so what what what sense
Speaker 5: does it make what we're.
Speaker 4: Doing you, know if we follow the same rules of
Speaker 4: how we.
Speaker 5: Evolve in college, athletics we'll go from from two to
Speaker 5: thirty five or something.
Speaker 4: Like you, know there'll be no.
Speaker 5: Bridge, right but but but but, NO i think it
Speaker 5: would make college basketball better In november And. DECEMBER i
Speaker 5: think it would make the preseason more. PRODUCTIVE i know
Speaker 5: it would be better for players and coaches.
Speaker 4: To follow that. Up how would YOU.
Speaker 7: I know you say that there's no real like design
Speaker 7: of what you're looking. For you kind of have to
Speaker 7: take teams that are willing to do what you're trying
Speaker 7: to do as. Well but how would you handle if
Speaker 7: you were able to have four? Games would you have
Speaker 7: would you be going more road games for the? Adversity
Speaker 7: would you mix a home game? In would do you
Speaker 7: have any ideas of how you would like it to?
Speaker 5: Go, yeah it would make sense to probably just break
Speaker 5: into two and.
Speaker 4: TWO i mean if.
Speaker 5: You have had your way and try to play against
Speaker 5: different styles like when WE i didn't get into this,
Speaker 5: much you know in press, conferences but you Know michigan switches,
Speaker 5: everything you, Know dusty the last couple of years when
Speaker 5: It's Florida atlantic and At, michigan you know they've they've
Speaker 5: been a great switching team and sometimes switch all five,
Speaker 5: ways like they switch with the five. Man sometimes they
Speaker 5: do some creative stuff that's almost like a match zone
Speaker 5: to keep the five at. Home you know that you're
Speaker 5: going to see that throughout the. Season maybe not all the,
Speaker 5: time BUT i was excited to scrimmage him Because i'm,
Speaker 5: like that'd be great to see and that's so much
Speaker 5: different than how we. Play it'd be great to go
Speaker 5: against that. Early so when we see that in our
Speaker 5: league and there's at least one team in our league
Speaker 5: that plays that, way but probably. More that's not the
Speaker 5: first time we prepared for, that you, know, like give
Speaker 5: you an, example we Played. Baylor baylor played that way last.
Speaker 5: Year they were switching five ways at, times like and
Speaker 5: similar to What dusty does At. Michigan we had a
Speaker 5: one day prep For baylor because of the way the
Speaker 5: schedule was laid, Out so the first time we'd really
Speaker 5: been able to dive into that since the preseason we
Speaker 5: did it in practice a little, bit was with one
Speaker 5: day before a league.
Speaker 4: Game you, know that's.
Speaker 5: Difficult but being able to Play michigan this, year Whether
Speaker 5: baylor plays that way again or somebody else in the
Speaker 5: league or multiple now we've.
Speaker 4: Seen that kind of.
Speaker 5: Defense LIKE i think you maybe you'd want to play
Speaker 5: against somebody that plays a lot his, Own like there's
Speaker 5: there's some benefits to. That you, know when we play
Speaker 5: against ourselves every, day you try to every, coach we're
Speaker 5: all trying to find an element of playing against different
Speaker 5: pick and roll, coverages playing against different screening, coverages playing
Speaker 5: against different styles of.
Speaker 4: Defense but you're also.
Speaker 5: Trying to build who you, are and so you end
Speaker 5: up planning it's the same thing all the, time and
Speaker 5: when you play against people that are, different you learn
Speaker 5: a lot and grow a, lot and so, again i'd
Speaker 5: love to be able to do that every.
Speaker 4: Week Karen Good, evening.
Speaker 8: COACH i looked at the schedule for the non conference,
Speaker 8: games especially the first three, ones and it is nice
Speaker 8: to see that we're going to be challenged and this
Speaker 8: will help us when we get To big twelve. Play
Speaker 8: Western carolina is, Great Georgia state is, great coached by
Speaker 8: Coach hayes who was AT xaber for four years and
Speaker 8: he was the interim head coach. There he won an
Speaker 8: n championship. There And i'm very familiar with Coach grant
Speaker 8: up In. Dayton you got THE i seventy Five Crossout
Speaker 8: Crosstown Interstate shootout this. Year SO i think we're gonna
Speaker 8: be challenged in those first three, games and Then Mount
Speaker 8: Saint mary's and then of, course of Course louisville with
Speaker 8: on The river and that's A cincinnati connection. There SO
Speaker 8: i think that we would be challenged and prepared going
Speaker 8: Into big twelve.
Speaker 5: Play, yeah thank, you And Good, Evening, hey it was by, design,
Speaker 5: Right you're trying to use non con to, Prepare you're
Speaker 5: trying to make sure non conference games give you put
Speaker 5: you in the best position for Selection, sunday and so
Speaker 5: there's very strategic for.
Speaker 2: Sure All, right we're going to take a time. Out
Speaker 2: more questions from the audience when we. Continue this is
Speaker 2: The West Miller Radio. Show we're live at the Original Montgomery,
Speaker 2: en home of the world's greatest rips in seven HUNDRED
Speaker 2: wlw the. Show thanks To Joe, strecker our, engineer for
Speaker 2: setting everything up. Tonight greatly appreciate. It let's see if
Speaker 2: we've got a few more questions from the. Audience brian
Speaker 2: is back for round.
Speaker 7: Two, coach you said something at the end of your
Speaker 7: answer to my last question that actually sparked another. Question
Speaker 7: you're talking about how you're trying to change things when
Speaker 7: you practice against, yourself you're seeing you don't face your
Speaker 7: own defense all year, long so you have to try
Speaker 7: to prepare for other. Things how do you balance that
Speaker 7: so that you're not setting yourself back for what you're
Speaker 7: trying to do and implement for your own, defense you,
Speaker 7: know and.
Speaker 5: It goes both, ways, right because you're also trying to
Speaker 5: defend things you don't.
Speaker 4: Do that's a delicate balancing. Act, AGAIN i think in the.
Speaker 5: Preseason the first thing you're trying to do is establish your.
Speaker 5: Identity you're trying to build your, foundation and you don't
Speaker 5: ever want to veer away from. That but you, know
Speaker 5: whether we're in shell and we play out of a
Speaker 5: certain sequence.
Speaker 4: That we're not going to run on, offense but it.
Speaker 5: Can help build offensive habits of screening or passing or,
Speaker 5: movement but you are going to have to guard those
Speaker 5: sequences throughout a basketball. Season like that's something that that's
Speaker 5: very common in what we. Do we try to, get
Speaker 5: like that scout team to maybe run different offense against
Speaker 5: us than we run against each. Other we try to
Speaker 5: get them to play different, defense but sometimes they can't
Speaker 5: give the real kind of. Resistance so we don't do
Speaker 5: a lot of, it but we try to do enough
Speaker 5: so when you're in that one day prep for a
Speaker 5: league game and you see something that you don't see,
Speaker 5: often you've at least addressed it at some, point like
Speaker 5: it's not the first time they've heard this is how
Speaker 5: we ATTACK, x or this is how we defend why you.
Speaker 4: Know that type of. Thing and so that's the.
Speaker 5: Fun part of coaching is putting that puzzle. Together when
Speaker 5: you build out a thirty practice.
Speaker 3: Preseason you've built a roster full of superheroes when they
Speaker 3: all get their own, superpower but multiple positions they can.
Speaker 3: Play WHEN i see a guy Like Bobba miller who
Speaker 3: literally can bring the ball, up initiate, offense make plays
Speaker 3: for other, guys how will you use him going? Forward
Speaker 3: when it seems like he's a guy that you can
Speaker 3: basically run offense, from if not for the whole, game
Speaker 3: stretches of the game where you can run it through.
Speaker 5: Him he's been fascinating to, coach and you, know to,
Speaker 5: DATE i really commend his work. Ethic he's been getting
Speaker 5: up in the mornings and doing extra work over the
Speaker 5: last month with our, Staff like we were able to
Speaker 5: identify a couple of things that were holding him back
Speaker 5: that were kind of fundamental, things and our staff has
Speaker 5: been in the gym with him almost every morning as
Speaker 5: long as you, know we're within rules, right that type of.
Speaker 5: Thing but and he's really embraced, that and you can
Speaker 5: see his game. Improving you can see him embracing some
Speaker 5: of the things we do, defensively and he's really. Improving
Speaker 5: but one of our challenges with the guy that it's six'
Speaker 5: eleven and can feasibly do everything on. The court is
Speaker 5: figuring out the things that he can do the best
Speaker 5: and figuring out how he can be in position to
Speaker 5: do those. Things consistently and that's been a PROCESS that i,
Speaker 5: You know i've been open about with him and his
Speaker 5: representatives in the summer and certainly throughout this process is
Speaker 5: like the, summer terry we tried him in like different
Speaker 5: every week we did something, DIFFERENT today i want you
Speaker 5: to play this, this week you're playing, this position or focus.
Speaker 5: On this the next week we do something. Totally different
Speaker 5: and we were trying to. Learn him AND then i
Speaker 5: was able to Go to spain to watch him play
Speaker 5: For the spanish national Team, in august and My girlfriend
Speaker 5: LAUREN and i were there and watched two games in,
Speaker 5: three DAYS and i got to watch all his practices
Speaker 5: over that time, as WELL and i learned a, lot
Speaker 5: there like trying, to learn, you know seeing him comfortable
Speaker 5: in that environment and where why he. Was comfortable so
Speaker 5: it's been a process, with him but he does have
Speaker 5: this ability to affect the game on both ends in
Speaker 5: like so many. Different ways he's going to be really
Speaker 5: fun for our fans. To watch and then it's going
Speaker 5: to be fun to watch how he continues to evolve throughout.
Speaker 2: The year you've got quite a few players with internet.
Speaker 2: National backgrounds excuse me on. The roster were they simply
Speaker 2: the best available players that you were able to get
Speaker 2: to Commit to cincinnati or is there something about the
Speaker 2: way the game is being played in other parts of
Speaker 2: the world that you thought would be good for.
Speaker 4: Your, TEAM well i think for a.
Speaker 5: LONG time i don't want to, put exact but over
Speaker 5: a decade and. Some change, you know we started looking
Speaker 5: into the international market for recruiting back before you got
Speaker 5: real popular like it did the last, two years, you
Speaker 5: know before everybody was, doing that because we were trying
Speaker 5: to just find a way to, be different not to just,
Speaker 5: recruit internationally but to look for a difference there in my,
Speaker 5: previous job and so we build. Inroads there we feel very,
Speaker 5: confident Recruiting especially europe and some. Other areas so there's
Speaker 5: a confidence there in a comfort of kind of where
Speaker 5: these guys, have Played Like jeordie rodriguezho's coming straight FROM
Speaker 5: The acb League. IN spain i MEAN that's i watched
Speaker 5: those games live over, The years i've watched them. ON
Speaker 5: television i know players and coaches in, that league like
Speaker 5: you know. HE'S played i understand the level he's coming
Speaker 5: from and how. It translates but the real answer to
Speaker 5: your question, is no there's not wasn't some strategic let's
Speaker 5: go get as many. International players we're just looking for
Speaker 5: the right players That pitt cincinnati and the international recruiting
Speaker 5: is something we're, familiar with but by, the way now
Speaker 5: it's becoming so much more prevalent because of. The money
Speaker 5: all these kids that weren't coming over before all, coming
Speaker 5: now and so, you see it's not just, our roster
Speaker 5: but just look at, international basketball throughout our international players throughout.
Speaker 5: College basketball it's like it's multiplied by. Enormous amounts, so.
Speaker 2: Well it's also one of the Reasons why gonzaga has
Speaker 2: been so good for. So long typically they've kind of
Speaker 2: had their pick of some of the best, international players
Speaker 2: and it's one of the reasons why they have consistently
Speaker 2: BEEN an ncaa turn team and in some seasons one
Speaker 2: of the very best teams in.
Speaker 5: The country they would be the Example Of saint mary's
Speaker 5: would be another one example of teams that invested in
Speaker 5: that a long.
Speaker 4: Time ago and have been.
Speaker 5: Very consistent but again in today's world the last couple,
Speaker 5: of years it's not as much of an advantage anymore
Speaker 5: because it's Common The, big twelve, for examples Recruiting, in
Speaker 5: europe the way that we Recruit The nike peach jam in.
Speaker 5: THE summer, i, mean yeah you're you're gonna see international
Speaker 5: players all over our.
Speaker 4: League busy summer.
Speaker 3: This SUMMER if i wanted to catch up, with YOU
Speaker 3: there's i can Either text ashley and find out what's
Speaker 3: going on, with you your. PERSONAL assistant i Can Text,
Speaker 3: bill komar your chief, of staff or there's a, C
Speaker 3: option i can Get on lauren's face of, her Page
Speaker 3: her instagram and notice that she's like toasting on some
Speaker 3: beach somewhere because you took. Her somewhere she did her own,
Speaker 3: women's stress but you took her with you.
Speaker 2: To go to all.
Speaker 3: These places you have seven people that, are international and
Speaker 3: why was it important for you to visit all of
Speaker 3: these places and actually go sit in the living rooms
Speaker 3: of the parents that, You recruited and she was sitting,
Speaker 3: over there, you know.
Speaker 4: Making sure she's documenting everything. For, you yeah she's laughing
Speaker 4: pretty good. Right now he called. Her out you got. Her,
Speaker 4: terry no.
Speaker 5: Uh yeah she went with me, three times uh internationally
Speaker 5: for work Trips and i'd work and.
Speaker 4: She'd play, you know it. Was good.
Speaker 5: It was we Were in switzerland for the Unit Teen
Speaker 5: world championships In early july and she did come to
Speaker 5: two games and, SHE went I think i'm good now,
Speaker 5: right right.
Speaker 4: She went shopping, Or something, but.
Speaker 5: No it was.
Speaker 4: Very important.
Speaker 5: You know, number one, you know the scouting, is important
Speaker 5: so you got to make the efforts to get over
Speaker 5: there and. See guys and then, number two like getting
Speaker 5: out to meet families and see where players. ARE from
Speaker 5: i think it allows you to coach them on a.
Speaker 5: Different level as, you mentioned, you know you want to
Speaker 5: be able to drive and coach guys extremely hard so
Speaker 5: that you can get the most out. Of THEM then
Speaker 5: i found with today's, young person it's no different than
Speaker 5: YOU and i, you know but today's young person wants
Speaker 5: to know that you're invested in.
Speaker 4: You care where in our.
Speaker 5: Generation it was, just you your your parents told you
Speaker 5: do what the heck. To, coach period you found that
Speaker 5: you care because they know that that's.
Speaker 4: That's right so like it's not that you can coach any.
Speaker 5: Less, Hard, now uh you might not be able to
Speaker 5: do some of the same things because you'll get run
Speaker 5: run out of, the program, you know that type. Of
Speaker 5: thing but, but uh but they still want it to
Speaker 5: be held the. High standards they want a lot demanded,
Speaker 5: of them but they want to know that you care and.
Speaker 4: You're INVESTED and i think.
Speaker 5: Going and meeting people and understanding where, THEY'RE from i
Speaker 5: think it allows you to coach them a.
Speaker 4: Little harder that's just that's just.
Speaker 2: One reason the university put out a news release today
Speaker 2: Saying That jalen haynes had accessible knee. Surgery recently h
Speaker 2: how do things stand with him?
Speaker 5: GOING forward i wanted to give a shout Out To brett,
Speaker 5: rye back our sid.
