19
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 3: Ronnie Fossio, our executive producer, the one and only Tim Kats.

20
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 3: Ronnie had to padd some stats on the way out today,

21
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 3: I don't want to I don't want to concentrate on it. Well,

22
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 3: much like Lebron James, Fred is old and sometimes he

23
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:42,199
Speaker 3: has a hard time finishing the game, and he pulls

24
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 3: the trigger early, he hits the eject button and we

25
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 3: can't get to the top of the hour. Now we

26
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 3: have to get to the top of the hour, so

27
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 3: we have to play the station. I d you know,

28
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 3: we're gonna pause for our stations to identify himself. And

29
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 3: Fred doesn't make it. He doesn't make it, Like he

30
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 3: just doesn't make it. Would be like running a marathon

31
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 3: and just collapsing ten yards ten meters before the tape.

32
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 3: And Ronnie has to swoop in and play an extra

33
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 3: because everybody wants to hear Cars for Kids one more time.

34
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 3: Ronnie has to play an extra Cards for Kids and

35
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 3: and an Amco fifty two was the target for today, Petros.

36
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 2: I'm sure the Cars for Kids people are pleased though.

37
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, I mean that's a great it's a great charity.

38
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,520

132
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 2: The Big Ten is a really good league. Always is,

133
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 2: but this year it's really good. It's going to be

134
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 2: good theater coming down the home stretch here of the

135
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 2: regular season into the Big Ten Tournament.

136
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 3: Remember how we used to talk this time of year.

137
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 3: We used to say the things every you know, it's

138
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 3: a really down year for the Pac twelve. All they

139
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 3: have is Arizona, maybe Ucla.

140
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 2: It's so much different. And granted I don't go, I'm

141
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 2: going to the Big Ten Tournament. Well I went last year.

142
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 2: I'm going to get this year.

143
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 3: Are you gonna go? You're gonna go have a drink

144
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 3: with Matt Smith. We'll see.

145
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 2: But it is interesting in the difference when because I

146
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 2: only do Oregon, Washington, this Ucla, when these Big ten

147
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 2: teams come this way and how they travel, it's it's incredible,

148
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 2: it really is. Like the amount of fans, it's incredible,

149
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 2: Like Purdue, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan Mission, all these teams you

150
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 2: go to, like game in Seattle. The Michigan game in

151
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 2: Seattle was the first sellout at U dub in three

152
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 2: years and it was more than half Michigan fans.

153
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,719
Speaker 3: That's hard to believe. Yeah, in Seattle, which is a

154
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 3: great sports town and they love Washington basketball, but they

155
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 3: haven't been very good, as you know, and a lot

156
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 3: of these West Coast teams, the men's are having a

157
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 3: hard time in the Big Ten winning in the other

158
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 3: time zones don which is of course something we could

159
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,599
Speaker 3: all see coming. Is that about the state and the

160
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 3: fans and the home court advantage? Is it about the travel?

161
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 3: Is it about just being not as good? I think

162
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 3: it's all of that. I think you know, if you

163
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 3: talk to the coaches, they will tell you that. And

164
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 3: it is because you know, M's a good coach. He's

165
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 3: a really good coach. So's Muscleman, and so is a

166
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 3: great coach. It's so like.

167
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 2: But it is unfair if you think about it. And

168
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 2: I'm not making excuses for anybody, but if you have

169
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 2: to go that way three times, but those teams only

170
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 2: have to come this way one time. And oh, by

171
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 2: the way, they're leaving minus ten win chill to come

172
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 2: to seventy degrees, so they're happy to come this way

173
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 2: versus leaving seventy to go to minus ten win chill.

174
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 2: So it's it's imbalanced for the West Coast teams, which

175
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 2: is why I've said, and I've said it since last

176
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 2: year I don't think any of the four West Coast

177
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 2: teams will ever win the Big Ten regular season title.

178
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 3: They won't.

179
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 2: They can't unless they are just so overwhelming better than everybody.

180
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 3: Right now, they don't have that much money to pay

181
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 3: guys as much as the other.

182
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 2: Not as the Michigan's and the Illinois of the world.

183
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 2: I mean, they're in il budgets or a lot more,

184
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 2: and so you know, that's that's what it is in

185
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 2: college basketball. So you know, I don't think it's complaining,

186
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 2: it's it's stating the facts of those four teams choosing

187
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,559
Speaker 2: to break up the Pac twelve and go to the

188
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 2: Big Ten. This is for football. It was all for

189
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 2: football that you're not going great for them either, right,

190
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 2: but this is the fallout for our decision. Is the basketball,

191
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 2: and I'm sure the baseball and the women's soccer and

192
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 2: all that stuff. It's way harder and the competition's way better,

193
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:46,719
Speaker 2: and so you're not going to have the success. And

194
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 2: I even look at like Colorado, Arizona State, Utah, they're

195
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 2: all at the bottom of the Big twelve in basketball,

196
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 2: same thing, and they don't have to travel as far.

197
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 3: It's just like the Pac twelve you know, Arizona's pretty good. Yeah, right,

198
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 3: but they got Kansas and Texas Tech, and I was

199
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 3: staying in all them in the Big twelve. It is

200
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 3: really interesting, don because I remember when I started doing

201
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 3: radio in the year two thousand and one. Two thousand

202
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 3: and two was when I started trying to do or

203
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 3: struggling to do daily radio in the city of Los Angeles,

204
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 3: and I started talking to you every week. It became

205
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,319
Speaker 3: a fixture on the old radio show, and after a

206
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 3: couple of years I started working here. I mean, bottom line,

207
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,839
Speaker 3: you and I have been working in college sports since

208
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 3: well you've been doing it since what the late nineties,

209
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 3: early two thousands, and I've been at it since about

210
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 3: one so it's about the same amount of time I started.

211
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 2: I retired in two thousand and two.

212
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you were sticking your nose around the media

213
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 3: stuff a little bit. Yeah, I was shuffling your nose

214
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 3: into the slop of the media. But now it's kind

215
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,199
Speaker 3: of unrecognizable if you look back then and you look

216
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 3: at where we are now in college sports. And I'm

217
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 3: not saying it's terrible. I'm not saying it's so bad,

218
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 3: and oh my god, we lost what we had because

219
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,959
Speaker 3: what we had was flawed and weird, and there was

220
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 3: always something going on, was a different time. Everything was

221
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 3: on regional cable most of the time, some games were

222
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 3: only on the radio, things of that nature. So as

223
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 3: far as visibility and all that, everything is so much better.

224
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 3: I mean, you go to Tulsa, every one of your

225
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 3: games is on TV, if you're playing football or women's

226
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 3: basketball or men's or whatever. But it's like, we couldn't

227
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 3: have left it up much worse, could we in the

228
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 3: last twenty five years. Not that it's our fault, but

229
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,199
Speaker 3: following this stuff for twenty five years and just the

230
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 3: what the conversations are about, the way they've changed, how

231
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 3: it's it's uncommon to know who's on any team going

232
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 3: into every year because it changes and turns over so quickly.

233
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 3: It's crazy. How much like the reason we're in it

234
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 3: is to make money still, And I guess that makes

235
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 3: us hypocrites because now everybody's making more money and that's

236
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 3: probably a good thing. But I could have never foreseen

237
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 3: where we are doing this kind of stuff a long

238
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 3: time ago.

239
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 2: What's funny, p is I was having a conversation last night.

240
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 2: Illinois this year hired a GM, which all of I'm

241
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 2: sure every football team has a GM.

242
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 3: Now USC's GM is Chad Boden, Jim Boden, the famous

243
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 3: old Cincinnati Reds GM. Oh yeah, the Marge shot Era.

244
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:40,599
Speaker 3: That's his son. And Chad came from Notre Dame and

245
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 3: now he's at USC.

246
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 2: But I said to him, because I had never met

247
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 2: him and we were just talking, I said, it's pretty

248
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,439
Speaker 2: crazy that here we are, in twenty twenty six in

249
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 2: every high major basketball, not football, basketball program has a GM. Like,

250
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 2: who would have ever thought that twenty years ago or

251
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 2: when we started early two thousand. He's like, well, you know,

252
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 2: it makes sense. You know, let the coaches just coach

253
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 2: and I kind of handled the roster and recruiting and all.

254
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 2: I'm like, No, the reason there's a GM position is

255
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 2: because of money and players making nil money. That's why

256
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 2: there's a GM position. Yeah, that guy used to be

257
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 2: called a recruiting court exactly, and the money he gave

258
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 2: out was illegally given exactly, yet it was still given out.

259
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 2: I just I can't believe that we were probably in

260
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 2: a better place in our sports in this country, college wise,

261
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 2: when the players got paid under the table, when things

262
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 2: weren't above which is so weird to say. It's kind

263
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 2: of like talking about Las.

264
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 3: Vegas, like the argument they meant made at the end

265
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 3: of the movie Casino, Like, hey, this town was a

266
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 3: lot better when the mob ran the town. Everybody knew

267
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 3: everybody's name, nobody messed around. It wasn't just a bunch

268
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 3: of drunk frat boys throwing up in a fountain. People

269
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 3: wore suits, people had dinner, people went to shows, people

270
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 3: had class. And now the corporations have taken over and

271
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 3: it's bastardized and it sucks, and it kind of feels

272
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 3: like that in a weird way. It's just crazy to think, Wow,

273
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 3: now that everything is more above board, things suck even.

274
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 2: That because in basketball pe everyone's getting paid. It used

275
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 2: to be just the top, top guys were getting paid

276
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 2: under the table. Now everyone's getting paid. And I look

277
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 2: at Dana Altman, who has been a fantastic college basketball

278
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 2: coach for years. In years, they're like nine and seventeen

279
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 2: this year, and that's unacceptable for Oregon basketball. Dana Altman

280
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 2: didn't forget how to coach. Okay, so what's in play

281
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 2: or what's at play here is that and they have

282
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 2: a lot of resources Oregon because the Nike right, so.

283
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 3: Happen.

284
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 2: So they're paying players, and this is just my opinion.

285
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 2: I don't have facts on this, but I just know

286
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 2: what I know being around it that when you start

287
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 2: getting paid, these kids don't understand that. If they got

288
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 2: five hundred thousand dollars, they think they're set, yeah, for good,

289
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 2: and they're not.

290
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 3: If you gave me a two thousand dollars. When I

291
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 3: was eighteen on the stipend game, I was Daddy Warbucks

292
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 3: for two days, right, and then on the third day

293
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 3: I was back to being Mahatma Gandhi.

294
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 2: Right. So these kids that are getting half a million dollars,

295
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 2: if the season isn't going their way, or they think

296
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 2: they should be playing twenty five minutes a game and

297
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 2: they're only playing eight, they're like, they just go home

298
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 2: and whip out their iPad and look at their bank

299
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 2: account and they don't care. They don't care anymore. Not

300
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 2: across the board, but certain instances this money. And I'm

301
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 2: all for players getting money. This is not what I'm saying,

302
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 2: But what I'm saying is the effect of these kids

303
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 2: getting money and what it's done to their will, their competitiveness,

304
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 2: their toughness to really dig in. That's why all these

305
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 2: like college players. I don't have date on this either,

306
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 2: but college players are sitting out way more than they

307
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 2: ever have, way more, not playing with injuries, not playing

308
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 2: with injury, but also the season's not going great for me,

309
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,679
Speaker 2: I'm gonna set out so I can get a medical

310
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 2: red shirt and get another year to get paid next year.

311
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:16,959
Speaker 2: And that's happening all over them.

312
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 3: It used to be people couldn't wait to get done

313
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 3: with college right to get onto the next level so

314
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,360
Speaker 3: they can get paid exactly. Now we got a bunch

315
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 3: of twenty eight year old dudes with gray and their

316
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 3: beard bonking around down below the basket because there's money

317
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 3: to be paide.

318
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 2: A lot of money. Like these guys. Well, there's so

319
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 2: many players. First of all, every guy that plays in

320
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 2: high major Division one college basketball thinks they're playing in

321
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 2: the NBA, which is wrong obviously. But like, and I

322
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 2: think we've talked about this. You're a second round pick

323
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 2: in the NBA draft. There's only sixty picks total. Okay,

324
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 2: if you're a second round pick, you are more than

325
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 2: likely on a two way contract the next year. You

326
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 2: know what a two way contract pace fifty grand much.

327
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 2: These guys are making a million million, five two million,

328
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 2: so they'd be taking a pay cut. And here's the

329
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 2: kicker that just don't understand.

330
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 3: That used to be a joke, a joke. You know,

331
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 3: they'd be like Reggie Bush took a pay cut when

332
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 3: he left you as see, now it's not a joke,

333
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 3: this reality. And not only that, you don't have to

334
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 3: pay for anything when you're in college, all your your

335
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:29,199
Speaker 3: dorm or your apartment, all everything's paid for. And if

336
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 3: you're making the money, and if you don't play, they

337
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 3: still have to pay you the nil or you're.

338
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 2: Going to court, right And so these guys that want

339
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 2: extra year, they're thank god the COVID year's done, because

340
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 2: that added a year to everybody's thing. But the fact

341
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 2: that you're gonna leave college thinking you have all this money,

342
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 2: which even if you have a million, now you got

343
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 2: to pay for everything. You got to pay for your

344
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 2: but you got like a normal person. And most of

345
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 2: these guys aren't playing in the NBA. Some might play overseas,

346
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 2: might play in the G League. But the point is

347
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 2: is you are extending college basketball players careers and they're

348
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:12,880
Speaker 2: earning potential or their earnings, and you're not getting You're

349
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 2: not getting what you're paying them for. That's why all

350
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 2: these coaches are so mad all the time. They're mad

351
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 2: that they're not getting they're not getting a return on

352
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 2: their investment in these players. Because the players don't care

353
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 2: as much because they're getting paid. There's no there's no

354
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 2: urgency to play every night, get better in the offseason,

355
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 2: play hard every night so that maybe I can impress

356
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 2: NBA people and play in the NBA. They think that's

357
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 2: a given. But the fact that they're getting paid, they

358
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 2: don't care anymore. You know, it might surprise you.

359
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 3: Don but a lot of people don't call me overnight

360
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 3: and ask me for advice regarding basketball knowledge. I'm not

361
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 3: an expert in that regard. I know you think of

362
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,640
Speaker 3: me as a pretty smart guy in a lot of regards,

363
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 3: but I I'm not a basketball expert. But I do

364
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 3: know that over the years, what's always attracted me to

365
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 3: college basketball, and I think a lot of people is

366
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 3: the coach. The coach is the guy who's there, and

367
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 3: he's the one that carries over you're behimes you played

368
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 3: for Jim Herrick. We all love Jim Herrick, Larry Brown,

369
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 3: a Patinos still out there running around. Bill self is

370
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 3: still doing it at a very high level. The bench jockey,

371
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 3: Larry Eustaci, Dick Bennett, Tony Bennett. I mean, we have

372
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 3: great names over the years and some that are still

373
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 3: doing it. That is really the star of the sport.

374
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 3: The coach is the star of college basketball, right, and

375
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 3: it makes it fun there Bobby Knight throwing his chair.

376
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 3: I mean, that is the leg Geene Katie with his

377
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 3: shoe polish head, That is the legend. Tom Penders, the

378
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 3: Tan Man. I could go on and on, right, that's

379
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 3: what makes college basketball cool. The money that these guys

380
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 3: are getting now, or or the fact that everybody's getting it,

381
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 3: and the fact that you have to recruit with money

382
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 3: and all these different things more than you did before.

383
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 3: And it seems like it makes it a lot even

384
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 3: harder for these coaches to coach.

385
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 2: And I think that's why. And I'm sure we'll talk

386
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 2: about Mick in a minute, but not just missing. All

387
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 2: these coaches are frustrated by having to pay these guys

388
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 2: more than their assistance are making and not getting the

389
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 2: return on what they have to pay them. To Feeld

390
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 2: a competitive roster. They're mad about it. I would be

391
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 2: to anyone, would be that you have to compete. You

392
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 2: have to give a kid a certain amount of money

393
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 2: thinking you're going to get a certain amount back, and

394
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,679
Speaker 2: when you're not, that's frustrating.

395
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 3: I mean, just in my experience in football when I

396
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 3: was a player, if they missed on a guy, we

397
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 3: got eighty five scholarships. But if they on a guy

398
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 3: and he showed up at USC and it happens, and

399
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 3: it's just clear that he wasn't This isn't the guy.

400
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 3: And maybe if they poured into him for two and

401
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 3: a half years, maybe he might be able to be

402
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 3: serviceable in one way or another. But they ain't going

403
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 3: to do that. They find a way to get rid

404
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 3: of them.

405
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 2: You know.

406
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 3: Now they don't even have to do that. They just

407
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 3: say they just push him out. I mean they don't

408
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 3: even like they used to have to strategically be like, hey,

409
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 3: you're not doing good in school. You know, they'd find

410
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 3: a way. And if the guy was a good student

411
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 3: and he didn't f up, you'd be screwed. You'd be

412
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 3: stuck with that guy for four years. Now it feels

413
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 3: like a two way street for everybody, and it's just

414
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 3: amazing how much it's changed. Because I think if you

415
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 3: were a guy like us and you started covering college

416
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 3: sports the revenue sports men's basketball, and football in nineteen

417
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 3: eighty and you're sitting around in two thousand and five,

418
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 3: not much has changing, you know, I mean, not much

419
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 3: has really changed in that time. Well, you get the

420
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 3: SMU scandal, you got your get the usc U and

421
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 3: LV like, not much has changed. And then you think, Okay,

422
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 3: you started in two thousand and now it's twenty twenty six.

423
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 3: Everything is changed. Nothing changed for a long ass time,

424
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 3: and we got complacent.

425
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,719
Speaker 2: You know who the real losers in college basketball are?

426
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 2: And I only know it. And I'm not saying this

427
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,439
Speaker 2: because of that, but I talked to all these coaches

428
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 2: assistant coaches at length all the time. Is good high

429
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 2: school player? Yeah, high school players.

430
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 3: It's screwed that because now you're going to have to

431
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 3: do something that you didn't have to do in the past.

432
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 3: Go play at a JC prep school, can continue to develop,

433
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,160
Speaker 3: stay hungry for old.

434
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 2: That's what they want. If you're old, if you're twenty three,

435
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 2: twenty four, they want you. They do not have time

436
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,679
Speaker 2: to develop a kid that's like a top one fifty kid.

437
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 3: And I remember being recruited by USC. My brother was

438
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,919
Speaker 3: there and they said, look, your grades suck, and they did,

439
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 3: which is why trying to trip me out that I

440
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 3: could get into CAL but not SC. But they were like,

441
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 3: your grades suck. You got to go to a JC free,

442
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 3: you know, just go to a JC for a semester

443
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 3: and then we'll take you in the spring, which is

444
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 3: actually what I ended up doing anyway when I left Cow.

445
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 3: But I remember being devastated. I don't want to do that.

446
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 3: You don't want everybody to think of me as a failure.

447
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 3: I'm supposed to be a big baller. I'm supposed to

448
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 3: be in D one. I'm supposed to have the shorts

449
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 3: and the shoes and the hat, and I'm better than everybody.

450
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 3: That's your mentality. And to tell, like a guy who's

451
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 3: a league MVP or something in high school who would

452
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 3: normally be going somewhere in a red shirt, that he's

453
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 3: not good enough and he's got to continue to chase

454
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 3: it like a desperate dog. That's what That is the

455
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 3: part of it that is hard, and I don't want

456
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 3: to watch twenty four year old guys fart around out there.

457
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 2: Baker bizarre at USC's twenty six.

458
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 3: Damn excuse me, don I think you just said he's

459
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 3: twenty six? Yeah, my god, twenty six. I had to

460
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 3: take a medical red shirt because I got hurt and

461
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 3: I had that one weird year where I transferred. So

462
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 3: I was twenty three my last year at SE, and

463
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 3: I was considered Yeah, ancient.

464
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 2: You're in the wheelhouse now if you're twenty three, Yeah,

465
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 2: twenty three, you're like a junior softboy. It's unreal.

466
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 3: It has changed, but we could still cover it. Yeah,

467
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 3: we're very spry. Wait, don you said he's twenty six?

468
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, my god.

469
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 3: I mean we played against Florida State when I was playing,

470
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 3: and they had Wankie who had played a minor league

471
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:41,919
Speaker 3: and he was like twenty six, twenties. He was an

472
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 3: old dog.

473
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 2: There was a guy he was bald. There was a

474
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 2: guy last year at Minnesota. I forget his name, but

475
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 2: he was in his eighth year of college basketball. Eighth year.

476
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 3: So the only thing I.

477
00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 2: Wish, look, the nil's unless Congress steps in, nothing's going

478
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,880
Speaker 2: to change with that. The one thing I do hope

479
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 2: that the NCAA does is limit the transferring in the portal.

480
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 2: You get one time transfer. If you want to transfer again,

481
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 2: you got to sit out of here. That's that's the

482
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 2: only rule I wish that they would change because that

483
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 2: would stop some of this stuff.

484
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 3: Put your fingers in the die, stop the bleeding. Yeah,

485
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 3: we'll be back with more Petros and money. We'll talk

486
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 3: about what is actually raising your voice and if that's

487
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 3: okay and if it's different if you raise your voice

488
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 3: and there's cameras around, or if you raise your voice

489
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 3: and there's no cameras. If there's no cameras, how does

490
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 3: anybody know you raise your voice? If a tree falls

491
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 3: in the forest and no one's around, does it make

507
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 2: I don't think it's weird.

508
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,920

Speaker 3: got up into their attic.

512
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 4: The people my age who collected in the eighties and

513
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 4: nineties those cards are worth nothing because they were so

514
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,400
Speaker 4: mass produced. But now they're back into it and they're

515
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 4: seeing what's out there. And these cards are so expensive

516
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 4: on I mean, you're talking thousands of dollars for the card.

517
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 4: It's ridiculous, and.

518
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 3: And Kate's loves it, and so does Vast say.

519
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,200

Speaker 4: and then they ripping open and they go through the cards.

543
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:49,520

Speaker 4: cards looking for gold ones or numbered ones or ones

545
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,720

Speaker 3: Just like a patch of somebody's underwear in it.

547
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,800

00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 3: the USC game. The Don's calling on Saturday. Maybe that's

553
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 3: where he's going. I doubt it. What do you mean, Don?

554
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 3: Why would you say that? Don?

555
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 2: Well? USC Organ isn't exactly you know, Organ's having a

556
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 2: tough year.

557
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 3: I will put you out. This is the flip top

558
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 3: story of the day. Marcus Johnson came on yesterday and

559
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 3: I was gonna ask you him about it, but then

560
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 3: he just brought it up himself. He said his pastor

561
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 3: called him and said he's done with Mick Cronin, and

562
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 3: Marcus Johnson said he's not ready to say that. Mc

563
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 3: cronin got upset the other night in East Lansing. I've

564
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 3: been upset in East Lansing. I know what it's like,

565
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 3: I am never ever going to turn my back on

566
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 3: Mick Cronin unless he murders somebody, and it would have

567
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 3: to be cold blooded murder, like really bad. You know

568
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 3: what my bar is, Sharon Moore. If Mick Cronin breaks

569
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 3: into a fat white girl's apartment and holds a knife

570
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 3: to his neck and threatens everybody's life, I'm done, okay,

571
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,479
Speaker 3: But beyond that, I love Mick Cronin. I don't care

572
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 3: if he throws his oat player out of the game.

573
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 3: And I don't care Bill plashk who We love you, Bill,

574
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 3: But I do not care that he embarrasses some student.

575
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 3: Is it a great look? No, you be the judge, Cass.

576
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 3: We'll get a pre run for Cooper gets found hard

577
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 3: for me, I'm by.

578
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 4: Jamerson, and Cooper gets right in Jamerson's face because of

579
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 4: the hard fell Jamerson stood his ground.

580
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 3: I remember Jamerson a student here at Michigan State. McK

581
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 3: conin says, I want you out, will nicklest want you out?

582
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 3: Want him into the locker room.

583
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 2: Because it Cooper's way out there, right. You don't want

584
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 2: to hurt anybody this late in the game, all right,

585
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,719
Speaker 2: DoD So first, we don't want to hurt anyone at

586
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 2: any time of the game, first of all.

587
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 3: But especially this late as Tracy's.

588
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 2: Here's what I would say, and you just said it.

589
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 2: It's not a great look to do what he did

590
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 2: because as far as I know, it's never happened to

591
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 2: coaching it's own player out of the game. Although he

592
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 2: did have five fouls, did he not Hatton he already

593
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 2: fouled out? Was it that his fifth foul?

594
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 3: I don't know.

595
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 2: I'll have to look into that, but here's what I

596
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 2: would say about it. And look, Mick s Bennett UCLA enough.

597
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 2: We've heard enough of his press conferences.

598
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 3: This is who he is. That's what I said. This

599
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 3: is who he is.

600
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 2: Okay, that's first. Second, if you're around Mick and you

601
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 2: talk to Mick, the word that comes up most is toughness.

602
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 2: It comes up in every conversation when talking about his team,

603
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 2: when talking about other players, you go to practice toughness.

604
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 2: That's what he likes to hang his hat on and

605
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 2: his players being tough, and not just physically tough, mentally tough,

606
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 2: but toughness is a real thing. And so Jamerson, who

607
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 2: look had a pretty good year at San Diego, that

608
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 2: was it he's not the toughest guy in the world.

609
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 2: And I think when you aren't the toughest guy in

610
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 2: the world, which is fine, not for Mick, but it's

611
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 2: fine in general, and you try and you make a

612
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 2: play at the end of a game when you're down

613
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 2: twenty five or whatever they were down, and then try

614
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 2: and act tough after. I'm pretty sure that's what set micoff.

615
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 2: That's what set him off, as Okay, you're not very

616
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 2: tough to begin with, You're getna foul a guy late

617
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 2: in the game for no reason, and now you're gonna

618
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 2: act tough when you haven't been being tough the whole game.

619
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 2: So yes, not a great in how it played out.

620
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 2: And I'm not speaking for Mick, but I could almost

621
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 2: guarantee you that's what he was thinking, Like, now you're

622
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,720
Speaker 2: gonna act tough after you foul a guy that's already

623
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 2: up in the air and like could have been a

624
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 2: flagrant whatever you're down twenty five. I'm fairly certain that's

625
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 2: why Mick did what he did. That's something I mentioned

626
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 2: that's very great perspective that we didn't have. It was

627
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 2: mentioned here that I'm sure this didn't happen in a vacuum,

628
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:33,319
Speaker 2: something about that player and that particular circumstance that set

629
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,320
Speaker 2: make off, and he was still pissed and the press

630
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 2: conference his podcast, east landsy reporter asked him about the

631
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 2: student second.

632
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 5: The student section, chanting, I could give a rats ash

633
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 5: about the other team student.

634
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 3: Section, about the overall the way that I would like

635
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 3: to give you a the kudos for the worst question

636
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:56,240
Speaker 3: I've ever been asked?

637
00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 5: Did you like you should take it preparation of the

638
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 5: Do you really think I care about the other I

639
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 5: don't think you care about the other your voice? No,

640
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,439
Speaker 5: I'm here, you are there, you are Come on, dude,

641
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 5: come on, yes you were. Everybody's standing here listening to you.

642
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 5: Everybody this is on camera, they can hear you. I

643
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 5: answered the question. I could give a rat's ask about

644
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 5: the other team students section. I coach UCLA. I don't

645
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:22,840
Speaker 5: care about Michigan State students.

646
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 3: I mean, who cares your thoughts? What in that exchange? Everybody?

647
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 2: Well, I would say, people that make comments about Mick

648
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 2: Cronin's press conferences, I think they're funny.

649
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 3: Yes, I cannot afford to lose mc cronin, not while

650
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 3: we do a four hour show. You want to make

651
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 3: this a three hour show. I can afford to lose

652
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 3: mc cronin in town selfish.

653
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 2: But here's my here's my problem with all the people

654
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 2: conte the content machine. He's funny, His rants are funny.

655
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 3: You know.

656
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 2: People are on both sides of that, I guess. But

657
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:04,720
Speaker 2: then when he gets asked literally one of the dumbest

658
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:06,800
Speaker 2: questions I've heard, if you put it into context, he

659
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 2: just lost by twenty five at Michigan State. You really

660
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 2: think he cares about what the student section's doing to

661
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 2: a guy that played there for two years, and oh,

662
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 2: by the way, a guy that's underperforming, like I just

663
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 2: talked about Jamerson and Booker, who on the Michigan trip

664
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 2: had four total rebounds, oh at seven feet nosed. So

665
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 2: you're going to ask about the student section, which no

666
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 2: one cares about except for Michigan State. And then you're

667
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 2: you're asking about a player who I'm sure he's frustrated

668
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:38,959
Speaker 2: with him as well, and then you raise your voice,

669
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 2: and then you're frustrated with all the other stuff that

670
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 2: Mick is talked about, and it's frustrating. Look, Pee, you

671
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 2: and I have talked about it.

672
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:45,320
Speaker 3: With Matt.

673
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 2: Basketball moving to the big ten became a very hard thing.

674
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,320
Speaker 2: Who you're competing against, the travel, the schedule, all of it.

675
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 2: And when you go to a trip at Michigan and

676
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 2: get beat by twenty five or thirty in both games,

677
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 2: who isn't going to be frustrated? And then you get

678
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 2: asked a dumb question. I would have popped off in

679
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 2: that situation too, But I don't get how everybody thinks

680
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 2: he's so funny all the time, and now all of

681
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 2: a sudden, you know, John Wooden's turning over in his grave.

682
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 3: Really what I said? I said, have you heard him?

683
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 3: Pepper Josh Lewin? He Pepper's Josh Lewin like a pepper

684
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 3: steak in Las Vegas at that place under the Four Queens.

685
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 3: It's a great restaurant that makes a pepper steak. I

686
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 3: forget its name. Anyway, The point is I feel I

687
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,760
Speaker 3: feel like it was a slow news day and people

688
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 3: got on it and got all riled up about it.

689
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 3: I will never turn my back on Cronin unless you

690
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 3: know what my bar is, fat white girl holding the

691
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 3: steak knife to your neck. Just ask the questions.

692
00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 2: I mean, we everyone everyone college basketball is competitive. Mick

693
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:08,399
Speaker 2: Cronin is no different. Highly competitive guy. Expectations are high

694
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 2: at UCLA, his expectations of his team are high, and

695
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 2: they're fighting to make the NCAA tournament. And so if

696
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 2: he's willing to wear his emotion on his sleeve, which

697
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 2: a lot of coaches don't, he does, so be it.

698
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 2: I've never had a pride look I went to when

699
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 2: he first got the job. I went to practice and

700
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 2: I saw, you know what, practice looked like. He's getting

701
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 2: after guys. He expects a lot. I got no problem

702
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 2: with that. This world has become a little bit soft.

703
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 2: I little we would all agree a little bit. So

704
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 2: anytime that they see something like this, everybody's got a

705
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 2: big problem with it.

706
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 3: He should have seen how my thirteen year old reacted

707
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 3: the other day to a sunburn. I've never been so

708
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 3: imbarrassed in my life.

709
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 5: Losers though about we were winning at halftime.

710
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 3: We love Mick Cronan's press conferences so much here on

711
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 3: a radio show, Dawn, because we're an audio medium, as

712
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 3: you know, we even have an intro for them. Porey,

713
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 3: welcome in the coach. I'm not sugarcoating it. I ain't

714
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 3: messing him around. It's Cronin talk. When Mick speaks. We

715
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 3: all listen. I got prine. Some people don't.

716
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 5: I do.

717
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 3: It's Cronin talk. That's three years old. We've been doing

718
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 3: that for three years. So with all due respect to

719
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 3: our friend Bill Plashki, waking up and realizing Mick Cronan

720
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:33,879
Speaker 3: has a little bit of an edge to him, Yeah,

721
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 3: not much of a revelation to most though. And I

722
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 3: don't think John wouldn't be would be turning over in

723
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 3: his grave. I think John wouldn't coach a little bit

724
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 3: harder than you might imagine, especially against Pete Noule.

725
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 2: There was no camera phones back then.

726
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:58,240
Speaker 3: You're not all right, well, we're all on the same page.

727
00:39:58,239 --> 00:39:59,840
Speaker 3: Here's what's going to be best, you guys are.

728
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 2: And that's the other thing everybody likes to jump on

729
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 2: when when you know people, you know they have a

730
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 2: bad road trip to Michigan, what if they beat Illinois

731
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 2: on Saturday, then what everyone wants them fired still because

732
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 2: if they beat Illinois on Saturday, they're for sure in

733
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,279
Speaker 2: the NCAA tournament for sure.

734
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 3: That's how quick the trip, how quick it is in

735
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:20,359
Speaker 3: the Big ten.

736
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 2: Well, just in general, like people want to pile on

737
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 2: because they lost two games bad, but back in the

738
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:27,279
Speaker 2: same stuff in the press conference, and all of a

739
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:30,320
Speaker 2: sudden everybody wants them fired. But if they win this Saturday,

740
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:32,239
Speaker 2: he's the greatest coach ever. Again.

741
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:34,399
Speaker 3: Back in the day, though we talk about the Pac twelve,

742
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:35,800
Speaker 3: it'd be like, you know, I don't see anybody on

743
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 3: their schedule that they could beat that it would make

744
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 3: a difference, you know. But so they can do that

745
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 3: very quickly, change the narrative by beating the Baltic six,

746
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 3: the Balkan five, balk And five. I'm sorry, we'll be back.

747
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 3: The Big ten is no joke. Everybody's big, everybody's strong.

748
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 5: Every game you play, find me the biggest nastiest fo

749
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 5: could drink in Eastern European. You can't just find some

750
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:04,839
Speaker 5: guy it used to like wrestle.

751
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 3: Bears that ain't Booker or Jamison. No interesting conversation, and

752
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 3: thank you Don for the perspective. Yeah, I don't. Yeah.

753
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:26,840
Speaker 2: The immediate reaction and overreaction to everything in this world

754
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 2: is shocking to me.

755
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 3: Steve and A even had something to say about this.

756
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,759
Speaker 3: What did he say? I think he towed the line.

757
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:36,319
Speaker 3: I like mc cronin, but this is bad.

758
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 4: You know, hey, Don, if these are transactional deals, and

759
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:41,359
Speaker 4: I know there are one year deals. These guys are

760
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 4: get an I l you should be able to just

761
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 4: pay them off and tell them to go, you know,

762
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 4: cut the.

763
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 3: Guy, release them, then we'll see what happens. But he

764
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:49,840
Speaker 3: used to be the nil doesn't work like you have

765
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 3: to pay them, pay them get odd here. I don't

766
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:53,800
Speaker 3: like get my roster anymore. I know it's February, but

767
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 3: you're gone. Well that you gotta have somebody playing center.

768
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,680
