00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 2: appreciate it. I know coach does too. After two really tough,

16
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 2: heartbreaking losses where you were in position to win and

17
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:07,839
Speaker 2: just weren't able to pull it out in the final

18
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 2: three or four minutes of those games. Players are resilient.

19
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 2: High level athletes have to be tell us about kind

20
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 2: of the emotional tenor of the team right now.

21
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 3: Well, first, guys, i'd like to apologize for the way

22
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 3: I came out of the locker room the other night,

23
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,639
Speaker 3: apologize that you obviously talked to you guys off.

24
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 4: Air yesterday, but I want to say it on air.

25
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 3: None of my emotions or anger or frustration was directed

26
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,559
Speaker 3: at you. None of it was directed at any body

27
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 3: of people in particular.

28
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 4: You guys are the best. You guys know how I feel.

29
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 4: I don't think you' all took it that way.

30
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 2: We did not for the record, and it's completely unnecessary,

31
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 2: but I appreciate the thought.

32
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 3: No, it needs to be said, and then listen, there's

33
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 3: a lot of there's so many awesome people. I love

34
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 3: our fan base that there's standards here, there's expectations.

35
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 4: When we don't meet.

36
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 3: Those, it's extremely frustrating. I pride myself on being professional,

37
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 3: handling it the right way when you're supposed to when

38
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 3: you lead a program like this. At that moment, I did,

39
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 3: and then for that, I'm sorry. But now it's time

40
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 3: to move on and let's let's reach those standards.

41
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 5: One of the things I love about it is you

42
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 5: always come to face the music. H winter loss. You all,

43
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 5: you don't send an assistant. You come now conferences. Conference

44
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 5: term is different because you have media obligations, so you'll

45
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 5: send one of that, but you always come out. My

46
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 5: question is do you think you should take a.

47
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 4: Moment to gather yourself?

48
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 5: Because when I went and interviewed you down after the

49
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 5: Clemson game, I believe it was I said take a moment.

50
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:43,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, absolutely, yeah, And again I needed.

51
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 5: Because you're so invested in the game.

52
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 3: Well, I think I think people appreciate this the because

53
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 3: people care a lot, which is what makes this place

54
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 3: so special, this program special. But I care as much

55
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 3: as you could care about our program winning the basketball game.

56
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 3: So when we lose the way that we did Saturday,

57
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 3: or the way that we did at West Virginia, where

58
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 3: you feel like you have the game in hand and

59
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 3: have control of the game, you know, the emotions and

60
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 3: the heartbreak and that what you feel for the players

61
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 3: in the locker room. You know, that's real raw emotion,

62
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 3: and yeah, you got to take a step back and

63
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 3: take a breath, and then you know you can do

64
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 3: what you have to do.

65
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 4: But I was very frustrated. I was very hurt for

66
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 4: our players.

67
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 3: And just trying to figure out solutions for them, you know,

68
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 3: to make sure that we're moving forward the right way together.

69
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 2: So driving back from Morgantown yesterday, I had this thought

70
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 2: about end of games. Anybody can play good defense for

71
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 2: four minutes. It's hard to play great defense for forty

72
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 2: but anybody can play good defense for four minutes. And

73
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 2: now we're talking about the Big Twelve with incredible athletes,

74
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 2: So it's really hard to get easy shots in the

75
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 2: last four minutes of a tight game. West Virginia didn't

76
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 2: get any, but they made two tough threes, including one

77
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 2: that was borderlined impossible that they put into the kid's credit.

78
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 2: How would you describe that challenge of trying to run

79
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: offense and get the best shot you can get in

80
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: the last few minutes of a tight Big Twelve game.

81
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 4: Well, I think you said it.

82
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 3: You're gonna try to generate an easy basket or the

83
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 3: easiest possible basket you.

84
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 4: Can, but you want to get a shot.

85
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 3: And I think there's this balance of making sure that

86
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 3: you're doing everything you can to execute to get a

87
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 3: great shot, to get the ball in the right spot,

88
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 3: but you don't want to turn it over. And I

89
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 3: think some of the things you've seen in the last

90
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 3: four minutes, we failed to even get the ball to

91
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 3: the rim on possessions. That's extremely frustrating because if you

92
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 3: get a shot, you still got a chance to go

93
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 3: rebound the dang thing late in the game.

94
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 4: So you're trying to get a shot. But you said it.

95
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 2: You know, we.

96
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 3: Lost two games here in the last four minutes. Houston

97
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 3: got the layup in transition and that they got to

98
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 3: put back on the dunk on the offensive rebound.

99
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 4: But it wasn't like they were.

100
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 3: Just coming down running a play and getting a great shot.

101
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 3: They were having to really work and made a big

102
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 3: isolation play late in the game to shoot it over

103
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 3: the top. I mean, in our league, you're gonna run

104
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 3: good action, it's probably gonna be defended in a close game,

105
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 3: and then you have to be able to go make

106
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 3: the next play.

107
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 4: We worked at that.

108
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 3: We worked at that going into the West Virginia game,

109
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 3: and then we worked at that again today in practice.

110
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 5: One of my partners sent me something where he did

111
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 5: the percentages of shots from three that you guys take

112
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 5: when it's guard to guard and the percentages when it

113
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 5: touches the post or there's a paint touch and the

114
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 5: and the percentage is almost double when the ball is

115
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 5: touched in the paint, whether it's a post player or

116
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 5: guards penetrating and kicking out and getting feet set in

117
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 5: the whole.

118
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 2: Nine over there.

119
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 5: And I know you talk about this paint touches.

120
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 2: And all the other things.

121
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 4: Is that something that's.

122
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 5: Discussed in your in your circles as you are preparing

123
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 5: that we have to touch the paint to be better shooters.

124
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, we talk about inside out shots, you know, and

125
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 3: we do chart paint touches. We don't share the paint

126
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 3: touch number with the players during the game, but we

127
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,359
Speaker 3: do have them. But we talk about inside out shots.

128
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 3: And you're right, I mean, think about it. Every kid

129
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 3: growing up.

130
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 4: What the ball?

131
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 3: You know, it got passed to you from somebody rebounded

132
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,559
Speaker 3: it and passed it out right, you're stepping into the shot,

133
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 3: you're in rhythm, you're square to the rims.

134
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 5: Like managers, it's rebounding and passing it back to what

135
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 5: you're saying about us is not exclusive to us.

136
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 3: That's basketball, right, When the ball comes inside out, it's

137
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 3: a higher percentage shot. There's exceptions to that because there's

138
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 3: there's guys like Dayda Thomas, that it's hard for them

139
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 3: to even get a look because the way they're being defended.

140
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 3: And if they can get one on a swing or

141
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 3: a pitch ahead, yeah, that's a great shot.

142
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 4: For a guy like Dada and some others.

143
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 3: But some guys need to just take the inside out

144
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 3: ones and that's something we've been talking about showing film

145
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 3: and holding accountable for In practice.

146
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 2: Tyler McKinley came back the other night, first time he

147
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 2: had played in five games. I thought he played well.

148
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 2: He scored a career high six points, but he only

149
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 2: played nine something minutes. Was that about all he was

150
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 2: ready for. He hasn't really practiced much either over the

151
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:02,239
Speaker 2: last few weeks.

152
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 3: His first day of practice since our Georgia game the

153
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 3: day before our Georgia game was the day before the

154
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 3: West Virginia game. So he went through that practice, not

155
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 3: even every aspect of it, but for the most of it,

156
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 3: and then we kind of didn't know how it would go,

157
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 3: but he felt really good.

158
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 4: I thought our our medical staff did a.

159
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 3: Really nice job over from the Georgia game on of

160
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 3: not just getting him to where maybe he could practice

161
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 3: or play, but trying to get him back to being

162
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 3: confident and feeling healthier about his knee. And so you know,

163
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 3: he practiced again today and he looks good. He's he's

164
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 3: obviously tremendously important to our team.

165
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 4: Gisel James back in the starting lineup.

166
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 5: He came out with a great first game, but his

167
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 5: last two games, his shots have been He was one

168
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 5: of seven in the Houston game, three of thirteen. The

169
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 5: floor game has been good, but he is You're starting

170
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 5: to see some I don't know if it's fatigue or

171
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 5: just not having his legs under him yet, but the

172
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 5: percentages are not there.

173
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 3: You know, he has a small sample size right now,

174
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 3: so I think let's just give it some time.

175
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 4: He's he settles us down.

176
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 3: We're a different offensive team with him back in the fold.

177
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 3: A big picture of the numbers are saying that in

178
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 3: our analytical stuff, we feel it, the players feel it.

179
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 3: I know he'd like to have some of those opportunities

180
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 3: back in the game, especially that pitch ahead turnover.

181
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 4: We got a five point lead and we you know, we.

182
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 3: Get the rebound and you know we got a chance

183
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 3: to have a great offensive possession at three fifteen.

184
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 4: I know that when he'd love to have back some

185
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 4: of those looks.

186
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 3: But listen, Gisel James Is being back is very good

187
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 3: for Cincinnati basketball. It's been very good for our team

188
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 3: and it'll really help us moving forward.

189
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 2: Seannabiev was one for five in the game. He made

190
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 2: one three, but I thought his shots were good. They

191
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 2: were not from several steps behind the line. They were

192
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 2: on the line, they were in rhythm. I feel like

193
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 2: if those are the shots he takes going forward, he's

194
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 2: going to make a bunch. Did you like the shots

195
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 2: that he took in that game?

196
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,599
Speaker 4: Sure, he needs to play confidently. We need him to

197
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 4: shoot the ball.

198
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 3: You Terry talked about or maybe you did Dan, In

199
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 3: the last four minutes of games, people are gonna be

200
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 3: guarded and there's gonna be chances where guys have to

201
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 3: go make a tough shot and make a play. Shawn's

202
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 3: a guy that can go do that. We're gonna need that.

203
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 3: Knowing the time to do it is important. But he's

204
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 3: got We got a lot of big basketball ahead of us,

205
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 3: and Shawn's gonna really break out.

206
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 4: I really believe that.

207
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 5: I'm a power forward that played with the land of

208
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 5: power forwards back in the nineties when power forwards had

209
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 5: value or big man had value. But Nick never threw

210
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 5: me the ball. If I never wanted the ball, you know,

211
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 5: he would look at me and if I didn't call

212
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 5: for the ball with my hands, if I didn't say Nick,

213
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 5: you know, I didn't call his name, if I didn't

214
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 5: have my hands look excited, he would look at me

215
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 5: and wave and I would, you know, go sitting on

216
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 5: the ball screen and get out the way. But he

217
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 5: would say. Hugs said, you know who shoots the ball

218
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 5: the most? White, Nick shoots the ball the most. And

219
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 5: then Corey said, because he's a ball hog, and he

220
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 5: goes no, because he calls for the ball the most.

221
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 5: I say that because I don't see Mustafa Child calling

222
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 5: for the ball when you guys need a basket down low.

223
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,319
Speaker 5: And he's so good, his touch is so good, and

224
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 5: it seems to me he allows defenders to easily front

225
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 5: him and to negate him from a play without him

226
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 5: trying to establish himself and get the ball. It's important

227
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 5: for him to catch the ball for everything that the

228
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 5: offense runs around, post paint, paint, touches, his turnaround jump shot,

229
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 5: how the offense runs.

230
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 2: If he catches the ball on the block, it's a

231
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 2: different team.

232
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:32,119
Speaker 3: You know, I'm I'm I'm probably the hardest on Mustafa

233
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 3: every day, you know, because I just think there's so

234
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 3: much ahead of him. I think there's so much more

235
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 3: room for growth, and he's still so young. He is

236
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 3: in that in basketball, he's a baby still, you know.

237
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 3: And I say that there's a compliment. Listen, the last

238
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 3: let's go back to the second half against Houston, he

239
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 3: was terrific.

240
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 4: He was that game was great. He didn't call for

241
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 4: the first second end of the game against Clemson. He's terrific.

242
00:10:58,880 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 4: In the Houston game.

243
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 3: An the West Virginia game, he's getting doubled in the post,

244
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,959
Speaker 3: and I think that's the next step. Right, he's starting

245
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,959
Speaker 3: to have success scoring back to the basket, and he's

246
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,079
Speaker 3: found his touch and we're allowing him now to shoot

247
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 3: the jumper and the turnaround that I think has just

248
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 3: helped his confidence. But the next step is then embracing

249
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 3: that double team, you know, because that might mean you

250
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 3: don't score down there, Terry, but it might mean you

251
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 3: create offense for our team.

252
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 4: All the double in the bat.

253
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think he got doubled twice and the

254
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 3: last game wins a turnover one.

255
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 4: He hits Gisel for in the first half, so I.

256
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 3: Think we'll continue to build on that. But when they

257
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 3: start doubling you, that's that's a good sign. That means

258
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 3: people are worried about you. And then, as you said,

259
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 3: and this has been the emphasis with him since the

260
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 3: day he got the campus, when you catch it in

261
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 3: the post box and you catch it at three or

262
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 3: four feet, you can't be doubled because you're gonna shoot

263
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 3: it before the double team gets there. And that part

264
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 3: of his game he shows flashes of it. But when

265
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 3: that becomes consistent, it's all over. Right, it's all over.

266
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 3: He's going to be just completely dominant. So it's coming.

267
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 3: But the effort and the approach every day is what

268
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 3: it should be. There's not a day I come out

269
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 3: of the gym and I'm frustrated with new working at it.

270
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 3: And when you're that young and that gifted and you

271
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 3: work at it like that is a coach, you're fine

272
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 3: because you know what's coming. And I've seen improvement even

273
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 3: here in the first part of the year.

274
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 2: All Right, we're gonna take our first time out. We

275
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 2: are alive with the original Montgomery in Home of the

276
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 2: World's Greatest Ribs it's the West Miller Radio Show. Got

277
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 2: a bunch of stuff to give away at the end

278
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 2: of the show. We appreciate the bear Cat fans who

279
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 2: are here on seven hundred WLW. We are back at

280
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 2: the original Montgomery In home of the world's greatest Ribs

281
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 2: and the West Miller Radio Show. Appreciate our engineer Joe Strucker,

282
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 2: appreciate Joe Idel back in the studio, and really appreciate

283
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 2: the Bearcat fans who are with us here tonight. We've

284
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 2: got a bunch of stuff to give away. At the

285
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 2: end of the show. We were talking about Mustafa chob

286
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 2: prior to the commercial break. He will be going back

287
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 2: to where he played last year on Sunday Cincinnati taking

288
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 2: on UCF in Orlando. I would imagine he's probably not

289
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 2: going to get the kindest greeting after transferring to a

290
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 2: school within the conference. Do you even say anything to

291
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 2: him about something like that, just prepare him for what

292
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 2: he might face.

293
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think previously, you know, maybe a couple of

294
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 3: years ago, stuff like that, I wouldn't say much to

295
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 3: any of these guys. But I think after you know,

296
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 3: last year's conference season, seeing how you know, things affected

297
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 3: our guys been way more proactive this year about, you know,

298
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 3: trying to to just talk.

299
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 4: About things with them because they're young people.

300
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 3: And I think the thing that we have to remember

301
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,959
Speaker 3: about this generation is different than mine, different than Terry's, is.

302
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,559
Speaker 4: They don't just hear it in person, that hear it on.

303
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 3: Their phones, you know, And I think that's a different

304
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 3: that's an entirely different dynamic and paradigm, and so trying

305
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 3: to find solutions for that, I think is very important.

306
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 3: That's not just at Cincinnati, that's at any elite program

307
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 3: or in any professional sports leader.

308
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 5: Kishan Tiller got nine minutes in the previous game, and

309
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 5: he was I thought his minness were really good. He

310
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 5: came in and steady. You played a lineup I haven't

311
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 5: seen before. You had three point guards on the floor

312
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 5: with Daddy Thomas, Gisel James and Kishaan.

313
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 4: Is that something that you'll see more going forward.

314
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 3: I think it's just Terry about putting the most competitive

315
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 3: guys that we can out there that are gonna play like,

316
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 3: regardless of size, play bearcat basketball and play with some

317
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 3: edge and toughness. And I've loved Keishawn's attitude and approach

318
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 3: since we came back from Christmas, It's been what you.

319
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 4: Want it to be.

320
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 3: And you know, with Kerr going down with the shoulder,

321
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 3: there's some opportunity there. I thought he made that made

322
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:58,239
Speaker 3: the most of that opportunity. In Morganton, Kerr.

323
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 2: Tried to come back and play in the huge game

324
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 2: after separating his shoulder in the first half. Gave it

325
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 2: a you know, gave it the college try, played a

326
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 2: few minutes and then absolutely had to come out and

327
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 2: did get a three before he would he's crazy and

328
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 2: that had to sit out the West Virginia game. How

329
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 2: do things look for him going forward?

330
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 4: You know, I hope sooner rather than later. Dan that

331
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 4: that hurt, you know.

332
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 3: I think the lineup of you talk about lineups, did

333
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 3: lineup of dayDay Kerr and Gisel analytically was like our

334
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 3: best offensive lineup that we've we've played in years, you know,

335
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 3: in a very short burst. But we were feeling that

336
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 3: in practice too. We're really excited about the moments that

337
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 3: we had those guys together. So I can't wait to

338
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 3: get back to that. But hopefully he'll be back soon.

339
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 3: But as I told you guys, I think the last

340
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 3: time we were up here when it comes to the

341
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 3: doctor stuff.

342
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 4: I'm the last guy to talk to.

343
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 3: I know he wants he was He's so emotional, you know,

344
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 3: in the Houston game when he couldn't play. He was

345
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 3: emotional at halftime, emotional after the game. And you can

346
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 3: tell it's just not quite himself because he wants to

347
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 3: be out there.

348
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 4: Watching Jalen Celestine.

349
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 5: Every time he checks in the game, he's gotta it

350
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 5: takes him like thirty seconds to unwrap stuff, and he's

351
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 5: pulling stuff off, and he's got a heating pad on

352
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 5: his back and he keeps leaving it in front of

353
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 5: Dan and I and the managers.

354
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 2: I'm looking like, are you guys gonna.

355
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 4: Come get this stuff?

356
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 5: Every time he comes out, he's like he's in a

357
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 5: geriatric unit or something walking out, you know, there's some

358
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 5: old man walking out. Then he comes in there and

359
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 5: he's knocking down three after three. He's five to nine

360
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 5: from three, and it's like, man, this dude is when

361
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 5: we talk about him being a late shot clock maker

362
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 5: and you didn't, like you kind of like surprised, and

363
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 5: I'm like no. Then he comes right out and hits

364
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 5: the late of the end of the shot clock shot

365
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 5: and I'm like this guy just has a different level

366
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 5: of focus at the end of clock situations.

367
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 4: Are you noticing that? What I notice? All the crap

368
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 4: that he has all?

369
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 3: And then you know, this is this has been a

370
00:16:55,200 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 3: strange thing, but I've never had this occur. We'll be

371
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 3: in the time out and we're sitting there, right he's

372
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 3: in the game, so he's sitting in one of the

373
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 3: five chairs. He'll just stand up because you know, he's

374
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 3: trying to keep his back from stiffing it up.

375
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 4: And I'm sometimes I'm.

376
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 3: Like, what the hell's he standing up for? Like we're

377
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:16,239
Speaker 3: only twenty seconds into this time out, but he's you know,

378
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 3: he's I'll give him credit. The back surgery was serious

379
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 3: this summer. You know, he basically didn't practice or he

380
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 3: didn't do anything for three months or so, and then

381
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 3: he was completely limited in practice. And you know, he's

382
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 3: trying to do everything he can to get himself ready

383
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 3: to play every night, and he's getting better and better

384
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 3: and getting more up to speed what we're doing.

385
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 4: But you know, there's one point.

386
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 3: I thought, we we put together this team with all

387
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 3: this experience, right, all these older guys and experience, and

388
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,679
Speaker 3: we put the team together, and then we looked up

389
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 3: in a game right after a Thanksgiving week and there's

390
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 3: like Key Shawn and Tyler McKinley and Sean and.

391
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 4: Somebody else on the court.

392
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,360
Speaker 3: I'm like, there's like four In Moustapa there was there

393
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 3: was three freshmen and the sophomore out there in a lineup,

394
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 3: and I'm going, you know, And then the other side

395
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 3: of it is, you know, the old guys are coming

396
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 3: out with all their contraptions and stuff now.

397
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 4: But you know, but I think, yes, we like the

398
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 4: mix of it. But getting the ability.

399
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 3: To have the oldest, most experienced guys on the court

400
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 3: is important thing in the Big twelve.

401
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 2: Let's talk about your game coming up on Sunday. UCF

402
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 2: was not a team that was widely expected to be

403
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 2: great this year. Their top twenty five got some really

404
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 2: good wins to this point of the season. Now they

405
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 2: lost their last game on the road at Oklahoma State.

406
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 2: No shame in losing there, certainly, What do you make

407
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 2: of UCF and the season they've had to date?

408
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 3: Done a great job. It's it's like us, it's a

409
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 3: completely new roster. You know, you're going to see that

410
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 3: in college athletics now with all the changing around you.

411
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 4: Know, sometimes you don't.

412
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 3: Know do they get there right, But they did a

413
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 3: great job of putting the team together, and they're so long,

414
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 3: like they're huge. They they make other teams on tape

415
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 3: look small that aren't small. I mean they're starting three.

416
00:18:58,800 --> 00:18:59,360
Speaker 4: Man is six'.

417
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,760

Speaker 3: of getting downhill and putting pressure on the rim getting.

422
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 3: Fouled they're shooting a great percentage from three and not

423
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 3: taking a ton of, them but they're shooting a great

424
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,640
Speaker 3: percentage when they. Do and it seems like it comes

425
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 3: from different places with a bunch of different guys in double.

426
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,440

503
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,240

510
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 3: try to find ways to remind guys of. That and

511
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:25,440

515
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:33,240

Speaker 3: MUCH i don't want to be the, commissioner BUT i

625
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 3: WISH i could tell the mission or what to. Do

626
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 3: and then WHAT i would tell them to do Is number,

627
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 3: one we have to Be i'd have multi year. CONTRACTS i,

628
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 3: mean this is professional. Sports we need to have professional,

629
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 3: contracts uh where they they're tied down for, two, three four,

630
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 3: Years so we can have and, if like, anybody they

631
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 3: can get bought out of those, contracts like. Right but

632
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 3: then there's the like all of us that are, professionals

633
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 3: we signed contracts and we're bound to those.

634
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 4: CONTRACTS i think that.

635
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 3: Has to happen so there's continuity and we can get

636
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 3: back to some similar to.

637
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 4: That that that'd. Be that's the main. THING i. Think

638
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 4: there has to be a real.

639
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 3: Cap whatever they call a cap now that is it

640
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 3: is completely irrelevant and non. EXISTENT i mean nothing nothing

641
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 3: can hold up in a in a in a court

642
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 3: of law right. Now, uh you know it's all anti trust.

643
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 3: Stuff so you, Know i'm no. LAWYER i live with,

644
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 3: one which is scary. Times but you know you're gonna

645
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 3: have to collectively. Bargain AND i know that that that

646
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 3: causes a lot of problems in other areas for other.

647
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 3: Sports but if it's just about basketball and you, WANT

648
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 3: i don't see another. Way i'd love it to be another.

649
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 3: Way but you're gonna have to collectively. Bargain you're gonna

650
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 3: have to have a real cap with real. Teeth you're

651
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 3: gonna have to get exemptions from From congress and from

652
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 3: the federal.

653
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 4: Government there's already.

654
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 3: Models they're Called Professional Sports, league and that's that's that's

655
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 3: the only way that this thing is going to get

656
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 3: back to being something that has some level of fairness

657
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 3: across the. Board it's never been. Fair it's not fair

658
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 3: in THE, nfl it's not.

659
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 4: Fair in THE. Nba but at least the rules.

660
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 3: Are everybody knows the, rules everybody's got to play by the,

661
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 3: rules and we have to get back to some level of.

662
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 2: That it's the only way you can have competitive balance

663
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 2: in professional. Sports THE nfl has a, cap THE nba

664
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 2: has a, cap THE nhl has a. Cap baseball doesn't

665
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 2: have a. Cap but you are committed to your original

666
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 2: team for your first six years of your, career and you,

667
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 2: have you, know a tax for the teams that spend

668
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 2: over the spending limit, essentially so there are ways to

669
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 2: make it fair for, everybody whether you have a cap or.

670
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 2: Not college sports doesn't have any of that right. Now

671
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 2: it's unlimited free, agency unlimited. Spending it makes no sense.

672
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 3: None and this is the part that you, know bothers

673
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 3: me the most is people, say.

674
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 4: The, kids the, kid the, kids the kids are no.

675
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 3: Different the adults screwed this one. UP i mean, seriously,

676
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 3: like the adults screwed this. Up the kids are just,

677
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 3: kids and you know they're they're being now directed to

678
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 3: do all these different things to improve their you, know

679
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 3: like improve their personal. Situation but they're they're being directed

680
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 3: by because adults.

681
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:57,239
Speaker 4: Changed all these.

682
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 3: Rules they're doing what any of us would have. Done

683
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 3: and it's it's not fair to them to blame. Them

684
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 3: it's the adults that screwed this.

685
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 5: Up is there a level of frustration amongst college coaches

686
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 5: about the portal timeline opening up when the season's not.

687
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 3: Over the truth IS i try not to get too

688
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 3: involved in, it BUT i couldn't tell you one college

689
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 3: coach not one that is happy with the way things,

690
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 3: are not.

691
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 4: One there's not one coach that, goes, oh this is.

692
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 3: GREAT i think every single college, coach whether they'd say

693
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 3: it publicly or, not is privately very frustrated because, again

694
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 3: there's no Like dan, said there's no there's no rules

695
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 3: or understanding of what the playing field. Is AND i

696
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 3: think that's chaos and nobody likes, living you, know twelve

697
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 3: months a year in that chaotic.

698

702
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 4: Now but it's short, first but they shortened it. Again

703
00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:59,280

Speaker 3: chamberlain stopped doing it.

841
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:50,560

842
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 2: style and made a good, percentage and then he was

843
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 2: so embarrassed and so many people mocked him that he

844
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:59,280

846
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,319

Speaker 5: So they had a guy on the team that is

864
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 5: he was the background of the of the movie his

865
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:54,399
Speaker 5: name was Set. Shot he only got in the game

866
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 5: to take the charge and get ran over and then

867
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 5: he would make a free throw to win the. Game

868
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 5: but he never got in the, game and it was

869
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 5: like one possession game and the coach would, say, okay

870
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:05,400
Speaker 5: you know what you gotta, do go let and run you,

871
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:07,520

872
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:10,200

873
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:13,680

Speaker 5: wipe off the, sweat get to the free thom line

875
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 5: and he'd be the star of the. Game do you

876
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 5: think that you would ever put a guy in the

877

Speaker 5: game in a situation that he didn't touch the floor

878

880
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:28,759
