Speaker 2: and talk about it. And that was That was a

16
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 2: fun day Sunday at the Barn. It was a fun day.

17
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 3: Guys kind of came out of the gates early and

18
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 3: made some shots and we had a couple we had

19
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 3: some great performances, you know, as a team and in

20
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 3: jewels and crowd got into it a little bit. So yeah,

21
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 3: it was a fun way to go into finals.

22
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 4: Twenty seven assists on like what twenty eight field goals,

23
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 4: twenty nine field goals. If you had numbers like that

24
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 4: ever at any stop, that's pretty good.

25
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 3: That's pretty efficient. That's pretty efficient.

26
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,559
Speaker 2: And it was like twenty five or the first twenty

27
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 2: five field goals, Yeah, it was.

28
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, we've had a lot of games where we've had

29
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 3: a really high, you know, assist rate. I didn't know

30
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 3: at that point, you know that we had. It was

31
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 3: one hundred percent for most of the game until the end.

32
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 3: I gave Bobby dirk in a hard time after the game,

33
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 3: and the only unassisted field goal we had was his steal, yeah,

34
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 3: for a layup, And I'm like, if Dirk hadn't screwed

35
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 3: that up, we would have won one hundred percent. And

36
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 3: I don't think or something, you know, somebody had to

37
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 3: pass it to or whatever. But no, that was pretty

38
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 3: encouraging to see.

39
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 2: And you mentioned a lot of the great performances that

40
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: The headliner, of course was a cade Tyson thirty eight points,

41
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 2: eighth most points scored ever in a game for any

42
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 2: Gopher and eight three point baskets tied for most. I

43
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 2: think six guys now have made eight three point baskets

44
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 2: in the game, he had a ninth in the air.

45
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 2: It was right online, just a little strong. It would

46
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 2: have been him all alone at nine three pointers. I

47
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 2: normally don't don't do this. I was gonna take him out.

48
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 3: You know, we don't have a lot of subs obviously,

49
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 3: so he had to play. And there was about three

50
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 3: and a half minutes to go, and I was just

51
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 3: gonna gonna take him out. And somebody on our staff said, hey,

52
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 3: you know, kid's only one three away from they said,

53
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 3: setting the school record for threes. I'm like, all right, well,

54
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 3: I'm gonna dial up something for him here the next time.

55
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 3: And then of course the game started, we had the

56
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 3: play up. He said, well, we'll just tie the record.

57
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 3: So he ends up we running the play. He makes

58
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 3: it for number eight, and I'm like, you know, they're like,

59
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 3: take him on my you know what. We came down

60
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 3: the floor and I'm like, shoot it, just shoot it,

61
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 3: you know, shoot it whatever. And I normally don't do that,

62
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 3: but I'm like, the kid's just given us so much.

63
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 3: I'm like, you know, you don't get this opportunity very often.

64
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 3: And he kind of shoots that step back and I

65
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 3: thought it was down. Yeah, it was right on lines.

66
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 3: I told him after the game, like, geez, Kate, I

67
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 3: mean you choked your opportunity, you know what I mean

68
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 3: in a way I have that Minnesota sarcasm, you know,

69
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 3: going on. But he's such a great young man. But yeah,

70
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 3: what a an unbelievable performance.

71
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 2: That was gonna be on my list of questions was

72
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 2: were you aware of what the situation was for him

73
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 2: trying to keep him in? And do you have a guy,

74
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 2: so to speak, on staff that can can keep you,

75
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 2: you know, abreast of that.

76
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,679
Speaker 3: I had no idea and us I don't even pay

77
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 3: attention to that stuff, and most of the time, you

78
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 3: know you're you're, you're not. But I'm like, well, we

79
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 3: don't really have many subs, so we'll leave him in.

80
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 3: And I literally I did not know until about the

81
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 3: three minute game, you know, uh Mark in the game

82
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 3: to go. So I don't even remember who it was

83
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 3: on staff that that told me so, But yeah, it's

84
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:34,839
Speaker 3: one of those things that they're aware. And I don't

85
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 3: know if even Michelle had said something to She probably

86
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 3: did right to somebody else getting the conference. Oh yeah, yeah,

87
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 3: it was probably Michelle set it to somebody on staff

88
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 3: or Joe, and then it just kind of went uphill

89
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 3: and yeah, got to me in the time out well

90
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 3: along the lines of giving you everything. So the women

91
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 3: had a game that day.

92
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 4: I was at the barn, Grim I saw you in

93
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 4: the media room at seven forty five, seven fifty and

94
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 4: Caid's there are getting his shots up. And that's not

95
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 4: like totally a typical guys have their routines, but it

96
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 4: takes what it takes sometimes, right Like I told my

97
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 4: kids that, I said, hey, this dude had thirty eight points.

98
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 4: You know what he was doing at seven thirty in

99
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 4: the morning before their noon game. He was working on

100
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 4: his game. And I imagine that's not rare for him.

101
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 3: There is not a day that goes by. Usually I

102
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 3: get up pretty early, but then I kind of wait,

103
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 3: I have breakfast with my kids, and then when they

104
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 3: go off to school, I come in cause that's kind

105
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 3: of my time to see him. And there's not a

106
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 3: day that I haven't walked in the office and he's

107
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 3: already in there in the morning, you know, getting up

108
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 3: his early shot routine. And he's just got an incredible routine,

109
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 3: you know, incredible work ethic. He's so disciplined on what

110
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 3: he does, and honestly, like a lot of the great

111
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 3: ones that I've had, you almost have to try to

112
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 3: encourage him to dial it down sometimes, you know, hey man,

113
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 3: you're gonna need to play forty minutes here. But it

114
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 3: just builds confidence. And you know, I was there's one

115
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 3: characteristic of every great shooter I've ever seen. They all

116
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 3: have one thing in common. And I asked that to

117
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 3: players and this, well, you know, it's a footworkers follow

118
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 3: through And I'm like, no, they shoot all the time,

119
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Like they practice like they're

120
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 3: in there. And obviously there's there's intentional practice and great

121
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 3: reps and all that stuff like that, but these guys

122
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 3: are constantly in the gym working at their game. And

123
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 3: he's he works as hard as any player I've been around.

124
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 4: What's the ballpark of Like how long on a game

125
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 4: day he's going, or even just on an off day,

126
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 4: like what what is his day to day? And we

127
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 4: probably asked him, but I'm sure you have it some aware.

128
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 3: You know. I mean, he's he's going to come in

129
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 3: and probably do about forty five minutes to an hour

130
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 3: of intentional work. You know, this his shot prep his

131
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 3: shot routine, you know, a certain amount of makes from

132
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 3: different spots, you know, working on some things maybe individually

133
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 3: needs to get get get better at, you know, and

134
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 3: some of it for him too. I mean he's really

135
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 3: learning how to score even at another level, draw getting

136
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 3: to the free throw line, scoring in the lane, improving

137
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 3: his footwork, and so it's all those things. But he's

138
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 3: doing that every day, you know, on top of practice,

139
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 3: and then you know, you're lifting, and then I think

140
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 3: what those guys do too. It's it's all the prehab

141
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 3: and rehab stuff, right. It's it's taking care of your body,

142
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 3: what you eat, how you sleep, and just having that

143
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 3: room team. You know, those habits build confidence. And so

144
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 3: I'm saying he's putting in at lease an extra hour

145
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 3: a day, you know, no matter what day it is.

146
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 3: And some days, you know, we'll have we've been going

147
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 3: for a long time, we'll have an off day and

148
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 3: I'm like, heid, you got to stay out of the

149
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 3: gym today, you know, any probably, Yeah, I got you, coach.

150
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 3: And my guess is if I came in, he'd be

151
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 3: in there anyway, right, Which.

152
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 2: Is a good problem to have and to kind of

153
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 2: take a right hand turn on this, I would you know,

154
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 2: when these guys shoot, sometimes they may shoot by themselves

155
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 2: and rebound themselves. But as a guy who yourself was

156
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 2: a student manager, oftentimes these great shooters need someone to

157
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 2: come in and to get up more shots in an hour.

158
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 3: You don't want to be chasing basketballs all over the place.

159
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 2: So I'm guessing there's some student managers that he's buddied

160
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:43,359
Speaker 2: up with that come and help.

161
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 3: With that as well. And in a lot of times

162
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 3: it's coaches. I mean, we really pride ourselves a lot

163
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 3: on being a development program and like, hey, if players

164
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 3: want to put in work, we're there to help them

165
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 3: do it. That's what they're here for. And so he's

166
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 3: got a great routine with guysers. But yeah, I mean

167
00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 3: managers are a part of that, you know, coming in

168
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 3: and help thing and with rebounding, passing on different situations,

169
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 3: whether it's you know, dummy defense so to speak of

170
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 3: reading a screen or or whatever that looks like. So

171
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 3: it's all hands on deck. Yeah, were you a rebounder

172
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 3: as a manager? I was there to shoot man. Yeah, No,

173
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 3: I mean you do a little bit of of everything

174
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 3: at that point in time, right to try to get

175
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 3: in and to try to help the guys in any

176
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 3: situation that they can. So, yeah, I've done I've done

177
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 3: all this. I tell like John Thomas, you guys remember John, Yeah,

178
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 3: such a big physical guy and he was here. He

179
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 3: was no fun when you had to like go against

180
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 3: him with the pad, you know what I mean, and

181
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 3: like sometimes you got to use a pad, right sometimes,

182
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 3: I mean he didn't. I mean, he was so strong.

183
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 3: I mean you just had to, you know, the brute

184
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 3: force and stuff. But it was kind of fun sometimes

185
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 3: you know, coach who just let us Hay hit him

186
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 3: as hard as you want. But he was the one

187
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 3: guy who like it never affected him.

188
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I still see him at a lifetime of Paramounty.

189
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 4: You need a big pad to affect him.

190
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,119
Speaker 3: Still, Oh my god, I mean, oh man, I remember

191
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 3: by the time he got to be like a sophomore

192
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 3: you know here, he was so strong and anchored and like, yeah,

193
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 3: he was no fun to go against you.

194
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 2: And mentioned there a couple of other nice performances when

195
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 2: you look at the box score, and one was and

196
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 2: we talked about it in the postgame show, Langston rentals

197
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 2: three points. You're like, okay, three points, but ten assist

198
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 2: and really, you know, and I know it's more positionless

199
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 2: basketball that you guys kind of play once you gets set.

200
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 2: But Isaac has been basically the guy mostly bringing the

201
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 2: ball up the floor, and Langston's been off the ball.

202
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 2: But to get ten assists playing mostly off the ball

203
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 2: speaks one to you know, what he sees in the

204
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 2: offense and too kind of how that offense is set up.

205
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, everybody has an opportunity to make plays,

206
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 3: you know, in our offense. And yeah, I thought he

207
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 3: did a great job. He was so unselfish and m

208
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 3: kay to be the first to tell you. And that's

209
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 3: like any team. I mean, yes, he made shots, but

210
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 3: he also had guys help him first, like shots and

211
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 3: to find him when he's open. And I thought Langston

212
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 3: created a lot of opportunities for us that way. And yeah,

213
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 3: I thought it was. It was so valuable for him,

214
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 3: especially early in the game too, And I guess this

215
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 3: is the game kept going on. He kept finding guys

216
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 3: for good looks and didn't score a basket. You know,

217
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 3: I think it's a couple of free throws, right and

218
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 3: the three free throws I believe in the second half,

219
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,079
Speaker 3: but had a huge impact on the game, and that's

220
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 3: what it's about. It's about affecting winning. And Isaac I

221
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 3: thought was terrific too. You know what, the thirteen points, what,

222
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 3: six rebounds, six assists? Thought he played really good defense

223
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 3: and I think he's really really growing.

224
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, he had I think it was five assists, a

225
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 2: six assists, five rebounds at half and I'm like, maybe

226
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,199
Speaker 2: toying with a triple double here, depending on how the

227
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 2: second half goes. But there weren't a lot of rebounds

228
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 2: to be had because Kate Dyson had eleven, which was

229
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 2: nice at the double double, and you guys were making

230
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 2: a bunch of shots.

231
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I said this after the game, and again,

232
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 3: it's kind of what you're trying to build here. I mean,

233
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 3: obviously with Kate, it's like the shot making speaks for itself.

234
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 3: That's what everyone notices and you get recognition for. But honestly,

235
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 3: the thing that impressed me the most was the rebounding

236
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 3: and the effort. I mean, he's got a bloody lip,

237
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 3: the game had already been decided and he's still in

238
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 3: there trying to fight for every rebound and playing physical

239
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 3: and battling, and that's just a mindset that you have,

240
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 3: and I just thought that was so awesome to see.

241
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 3: I don't think the score didn't change anything. The fact

242
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 3: that he had already made seven threes or whatever didn't

243
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 3: change at all. You know how he played on both ends,

244
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 3: and so I just thought his effort on the boards

245
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 3: was awesome.

246
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 4: You mentioned the last game before the finals break, which

247
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 4: is now I think finals technically started last week.

248
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 3: There's some stuff now early this week.

249
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 4: Do you worry about that as a coach when there

250
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 4: are like looming breaks, because I'm sure the player, especially

251
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 4: once they've been playing a long time, they're human, They're like, oh,

252
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 4: we get a break for a minute or two after

253
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 4: this before our next game.

254
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 3: Do you address that with them? Do you dress that?

255
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 4: As a staff? How do you handle just the ebbs

256
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,199
Speaker 4: and the flows of these breaks. I think there's two things.

257
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,719
Speaker 3: I think. You know, sometimes a break is good, you

258
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 3: know what I mean, taking a chance to kind of

259
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 3: regroup a little bit. And maybe in our situation too,

260
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,839
Speaker 3: we've got a couple other guys banged up. You get

261
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 3: a little bit of time. But you know what I've

262
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 3: told them, and I really believe this. I think the

263
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 3: next month here is where the teams that really play

264
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 3: well at the end of the year kind of can

265
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 3: make their move. So last time in the season where

266
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 3: we have we don't eventually we're not going to have class. Now,

267
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:58,959
Speaker 3: got a lot more practice time, So what I think

268
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 3: we come back January twentieth, I believe somewhere around there

269
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 3: in school. So you get a time to spend a

270
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 3: lot of time connecting with your teammates, a lot of

271
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 3: time getting in the gym, getting in extra work time,

272
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 3: practicing and all that stuff, and so I think you

273
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 3: can really improve. And so I think that's been the mindset,

274
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 3: and you got to treat it like, hey, now you

275
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 3: well they already kind of are professionals anyway, but now

276
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 3: you really are right. You don't even have school here

277
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 3: for the next month. So I think this is a

278
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 3: critical time, you know, for us, and it is for

279
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 3: every team. Our team last year at Colorado State, I thought,

280
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,079
Speaker 3: really embrace this next month to get better. And I

281
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 3: thought that's where we took that to heart. That's where

282
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 3: we made our move. And you know, after the new year,

283
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 3: we started to play like a different team.

284
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 2: Let's take a break because I want to go more

285
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 2: down that storyline, because I think there's some interesting.

286
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 3: Things to talk about in regard to get a week.

287
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 2: You know, it's basically four games in four weeks here,

288
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 2: which means there are a lot of practice days. And

289
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 2: you mentioned once January tenth or so hits practice days

290
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 2: start slimming down because you've got travel, you got days off,

291
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 2: all that stuff. So we'll do that when we come back.

292
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 2: We want to thank Buffalo Wild Wings. They have Go

293
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 2: for Basketball Weekly with Nico Medved every week during the

294
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 2: basketball season. It's the University of Minnesota location right next

295
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 2: to Williams Arena. Buffalo Wild Wings a proud sponsor of

296
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 2: Go for Athletics and the official sports bar of March Madness.

297
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 2: Next week, we have an interesting docket for you because

298
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 2: of the floating schedule and the holiday week. Next week,

00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 2: we will have kind of a studio show next Monday.

300
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 2: It's next Monday noon until one here I think live.

Speaker 2: on Monday, and then Tuesday you can hear it live

304
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,679

Speaker 3: So that will be the holiday schedule next week.

306
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,560

Speaker 3: Here you go.

308

Speaker 2: the show.

430
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 3: All right, so it's Campbell coming up on Sunday.

431
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 2: You played this past Sunday, so you've got a full week,

432
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 2: and you talked about the importance of practice because, as

433
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 2: you know, you get into that January February time, between

434
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,640
Speaker 2: the mandatory days off, the travel days, games two times

435
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 2: a week, usually.

436
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,120
Speaker 3: The practice time does shrink. So now is the time.

437
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 2: I think you even use the term to make hey,

438
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 2: when we talked in the pregame show, you know, even

439
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 2: going back to last week where there was you know,

440
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 2: just one game on Wednesday from Wednesday.

441
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I think it's a critical time and obviously

442
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 3: we've got our challenges still with some guys out, you know,

443
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 3: and probably not being able to do it the way

444
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 3: we'd love to do it. But there's still a huge

445
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 3: opportunity to grow and get better. I think the other

446
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 3: thing that happens is now that you've played, you know,

447
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 3: whatever it is amount of games, you're able to look

448
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 3: at your team and say, okay, this is where we're at.

449
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,439
Speaker 3: Maybe there's some areas we need to improve at. How

450
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 3: can we utilize you know, what we have to its max?

451
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 3: You know, all those things. So you have a little

452
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 3: bit better intel on your team and maybe that gives

453
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 3: you an opportunity to grow.

454
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 2: Is there you know obviously you say what you want

455
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 2: in terms of injuries, Are there any good news updates

456
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 2: you had on the horizon?

457
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 3: Say what you want about the injuries. I wish I did.

458
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 3: I really don't you know at this at this point,

459
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 3: so it's still kind of a wait and see, you

460
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 3: know approach. I don't. I'm not looking at anybody obviously,

461
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 3: you know, Chauncey will have surgery here, But as far

462
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 3: as you know, Rob or BJ. I'm not looking at

463
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 3: it and saying, hey, a return is imminent at this

464
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 3: POINTKA Unfortunately.

465
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 4: Can guys get individually better during the season, Like, is

466
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 4: this a time where if it's going to happen, they

467
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 4: can do it as opposed to the offseason one hundred percent.

468
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 3: I think, you know, it's one of the things we

469
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 3: talk about too in recruiting. I think it's like we

470
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 3: call them daily vitamins. It's guys like Cad and these

471
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 3: other guys continuing even throughout the season to just put

472
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 3: in this extra work, whatever it is footwork, finishing, shooting,

473
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 3: reading screens or situations defensively, I mean, you name it,

474
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 3: and just putting in those daily vitamins in those work

475
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,199
Speaker 3: and even if it's an extra twenty minutes per year

476
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 3: post practice, those things add up. And I think throughout

477
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 3: the year, those things continue to add up, and you

478
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 3: can become a dramatically better player, you know, from November

479
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 3: until in February and in March, and I think that's

480
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 3: a critical component. Your team gets better as individuals, you know,

481
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 3: continue to grow and get better. So that's a big

482
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 3: part of it. You know, every day you're out there,

483
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 3: you're trying to get better. You're trying to put together

484
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 3: a plan for these guys to get individually better. It's

485
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 3: the film too, I mean you you name it. And

486
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 3: sometimes those guys are just helping them change even habits.

487
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 3: It's like, hey, you got to get to sleep a

488
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 3: little bit earlier, you know, eat a little bit better,

489
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,360
Speaker 3: just have a little bit better focus on what you're

490
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 3: doing every every day in your approach and trying to

491
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 3: help young guys do that, and you know, over the

492
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 3: course of time, that's where improvements really happen.

493
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 4: I'm sure we over dramaticize the exit interviews for the

494
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 4: season because you see these guys a lot. It's not

495
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 4: like they go off for six months in the summer

496
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 4: and you never see him. But how often are you

497
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 4: checking in with guys during the year of saying are

498
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 4: there regular you know check ins or is it just

499
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 4: more case by case basis on what you can improve on.

500
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 4: Here's a couple of things maybe we should be looking

501
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 4: at right now.

502
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 3: That's a great question. I think one of the things

503
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 3: is a coach, you're always are going to say, gosh,

504
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 3: I you always want even if you're spending a lot

505
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 3: of time with them, you even want to spend more.

506
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 3: You can't spend enough. And you know, I try to

507
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 3: do intentional one on ones with them too, but a

508
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 3: lot of times it's just these these random check ins,

509
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 3: you know, about different things, or maybe you feel like

510
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 3: a player, whether it's something you really want to encourage

511
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 3: them about or something you can kind of see, Okay,

512
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 3: the last few days, maybe something's going on, you know

513
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 3: with this guy. Let's just kind of sit down and

514
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 3: have a conversation. So I think those things are constant.

515
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 3: You know, we try to maybe you know, early in

516
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 3: the year, you do middle of the year, and late

517
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 3: you maybe have more of that intentional you know, one

518
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 3: on one where you're like, all right, we're kind of

519
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 3: kind of go through a debrief of kind of where

520
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 3: you're at some of the things you're really doing. Well,

521
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 3: here's something that we can you know, help you get

522
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 3: better with. And you really want to get them talking

523
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 3: too and kind of see if they can understand where

524
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 3: they're at and kind of what their plan is to

525
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 3: get better. And a lot of those things guys too,

526
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 3: it's just what's going on with them off the court.

527
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 4: Right right, So last one, this one's selfish grimmer because

528
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 4: I've had you know, I'm a coach as well, fifth

529
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 4: grade traveling. I think we're kind of on the same

530
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 4: level here for sure. It's all coaching at that I

531
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 4: saw some of those games on huddle. Yeah, the game

532
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,719
Speaker 4: Changer incredible. You can watch the game. We watch film too,

533
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 4: don't think we don't. Yeah, I've had two kids in

534
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,719
Speaker 4: the last week and a half cry because they're missing shots.

535
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 4: Do you have any advice for me on how to

536
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 4: help that through that has three guys on the roster? Now, yeah,

537
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 4: what you're doing better than I am? Like, yeah, And

538
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 4: I come up and I go, what's wrong? I'm missing shots?

539
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 4: I can't make anything. What's your best advice for me

540
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 4: to relate to the fifth graders?

541
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 3: That's a great one. That's what I'm here for.

542
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 9: You know.

543
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 3: It's it's funny you go, guys who have shooting slumps

544
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 3: and and all that stuff, and you know you tell

545
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 3: them too, the best shooters in the world, you know,

546
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 3: only make four out of ten threes, do you know.

547
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:35,479
Speaker 10: What I mean?

548
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean the best shooters in the world

549
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 3: are missing six of every ten threes they take. So

550
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 3: you know that's that's the best, right, So you've got

551
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 3: to you've got to try to get you got to

552
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:46,959
Speaker 3: try to get over that. And it's a hard thing

553
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 3: emotionally right for young people to uh to understand and

554
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 3: encourage them about the other things that they can do

555
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 3: too that are are helpful when they're not, you know,

556
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 3: making shots. But you know that's the best one that

557
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 3: that that that I can come up with. And then

558
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,679
Speaker 3: you know, hey, well if you're miss some shots, are

559
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 3: you how much you're practicing? Yeah for sure.

560
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,880
Speaker 4: But you know, even at your level though, everybody wants

561
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 4: to score, right, I mean, I'm sure you've had to

562
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 4: have those conversations about Look, Kate, Tyson's going to take

563
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 4: a lot of shots. Maybe here we need you to

564
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,919
Speaker 4: re You're great rebounder, you're a great defender. You can

565
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 4: help us here. There's a lot of different ways you

566
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 4: can impact the game.

567
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, and and sometimes too guys like Kate, I mean,

568
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 3: it's not listen. I mean these coaches are good. I mean,

569
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 3: at some point, you know, I have a Purdue in

570
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 3: the second half and stuff. They're going to make you

571
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 3: do something different. They're not just going to let you

572
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 3: shoot shots. And so then you've got to be willing

573
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 3: to grow as a player. And be willing to do

574
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 3: different things, see the game differently, maybe have a little

575
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 3: bit of patience. Every game is a little bit different.

576
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 3: You know, you got to lose yourself sometimes in the game,

577
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 3: and what does the game require you to do to

578
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,120
Speaker 3: be successful? And then I think as a coach, it's

579
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 3: just how can you really celebrate those things? You know,

580
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 3: how can you make those things really really important in

581
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 3: your program? And we show up the next day and

582
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 3: watch film. We're not showing the film. Oh there's another

583
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 3: made three, you know, it's it's it might be the

584
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 3: hard cut that Bobby Dirkin may that opened up, you know,

585
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 3: the opportunity, and that's the stuff you're praising. You know,

586
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 3: guys getting on the floor for a loose ball or

587
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 3: maybe something that doesn't show up in the statue. You know,

588
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,360
Speaker 3: that guy really went and like blocked him out off

589
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 3: the glass and that allowed Isaac, you know, to get

590
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 3: the rebound. But it was because of that effort or

591
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 3: you running the floor really hard and transition you didn't

592
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 3: get the ball, but that opened up the opportunity for

593
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 3: somebody else. And I think as a coach, the more

594
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 3: you can encourage those kind of behaviors and make that

595
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 3: a big thing in front of your team, because one

596
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 3: thing that young people you go up probably us too

597
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 3: at our age. You walk into a to a session

598
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 3: and boy, you can show a player doing something really

599
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:37,959
Speaker 3: well in front of their peers. I mean you can

600
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 3: just see their bodies. Sure's you know, pick up And

601
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 3: if you want you want to encourage the things that

602
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 3: you want more of, and if you want those things

603
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 3: to keep showing up, you've got to keep making a

604
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 3: big deal and encourage and that to your team and

605
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 3: especially among their peers you mentioned and guards you ask

606
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 3: you can guys get better in season.

607
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 2: I think I ask you this in the post game,

608
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 2: but I think we can go down a deeper conversation

609
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 2: on it. One of the guys was Bobby Dirkin, and

610
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 2: I remember specifically a few weeks ago you mentioning that

611
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 2: that maybe Bobby's not laterally as quick as as some

612
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 2: other guys on the team or in the Big ten.

613
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 2: But he's six seven and he's got long arms, and

614
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,159
Speaker 2: we have to try to get him to learn to

615
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 2: play defense, utilizing those skills and doing some things. And

616
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 2: he had four steals on Sunday in that game, including

617
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 2: the one that's screwed up one hundred percent on the

618
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 2: on the field goal to assist ratio.

619
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 3: But what are you know?

620
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 2: How do you how do you how is he kind

621
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 2: of adjusting to that, saying all right, I've got to

622
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 2: play defense differently, utilizing you know, my long arms, my length,

623
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 2: my heighty six seven, and there's ways to be good

624
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 2: defensively even if you don't have that, you know, that

625
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 2: step that you can get shuffle over.

626
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you know, humility is a position of strengths.

627
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 3: Got to know who you are, got to know who

628
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 3: you're not. Then the biggest thing has got to be

629
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 3: comfortable with that. Okay, So here's here's who I am.

630
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 3: Here in my strengths. How do I use those things

631
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 3: to my advantage? And Bobby's an unbelievably humble, you know,

632
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 3: young man. And then I think what starts to happen

633
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,879
Speaker 3: you start to understand that, and then I think defense

634
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 3: is about anticipation. You know, obviously having length and athleticism,

635
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 3: you know, you can't it's hard to make up for that.

636
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 3: But when you can anticipate what's going to happen, you're

637
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 3: in a stance, you're in the right position, you're playing angles,

638
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 3: the right way, you start to get a feel for

639
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 3: what the offense is doing. Now elson you find yourself

640
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 3: in the right spots. You know, if you're always reacting

641
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,640
Speaker 3: to what the offense is doing, it's difficult to play

642
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,880
Speaker 3: defense even when you're athletic. You know, you see guys

643
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 3: at every level they come up to it's harder and harder.

644
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 3: It's one of the biggest things I think in the

645
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,120
Speaker 3: NBA when you watch and Chris Finch might even say

646
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 3: the same thing about some of his young guys. They've

647
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 3: gotten away with some habits that aren't going to translate

648
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 3: to the NBA and guys who come to this level

649
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 3: of college it's the same thing. But he's really getting

650
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 3: better at anticipating what's going to happen, and I think

651
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 3: that allows him to play at a higher level. In

652
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 3: four steals man, he's turned into Larry Bird. Yeah, no doubt.

653
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, that'd be great, That would be great. Keep pushing

654
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,640
Speaker 2: that way, for sure. We're going to take a break.

655
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,240

00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 3: So what's interesting is the NAP Center underwent a renovation

675
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 3: after I left, so I'd be curious to see what

676
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 3: it looks like now from when I was there. But yeah,

677
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 3: des Moin's a good city, it is.

678
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, we were there a few years ago, I

679
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 4: think wn No, actually it was a regular season game

680
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 4: a couple of Decembers ago. And yeah, the arena's nice.

681
00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 4: They did a good job with the upgrade. Where should

682
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 4: I go Eataturday night? Where would if you were in

683
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 4: moin right now?

684
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 3: Man, you're gonna put me on the on the spot,

685
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 3: I think somewhere up by that Jordan Creek mall. You

686
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 3: know one thing, it's it's not like the fancy, but

687
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 3: the place we would go, like, I don't know, five

688
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 3: times a week was the either the Drake Diner, which

689
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 3: is right there. Jethro's Barbecue right there is pretty oh yeah,

690
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. Yeah, So those were kind

691
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 3: of the staples that we ate all the all the

692
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 3: time that were right there by campus. Pretty good. All right,

693
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 3: I'm in on that. All right. You've got the long

694
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 3: contested too.

695
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 4: Yes, it is finals week, and I'm curious if there

696
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 4: is a final that still gives you nightmares or haunts

697
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 4: you or that you remember from your time as a

698
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 4: student here at the University of Minnesota.

699
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 3: Boy, you really put me up. That's the long contested too. Yeah,

700
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 3: make you think the spotlight is on you know, i'd

701
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 3: be and my children aren't listening, so that's good. I

702
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 3: was one of those guys that, like I always got

703
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 3: it done, do you know what I mean? I figured

704
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 3: out how to get it done. But if I needed

705
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 3: a be I was getting the beat. I wasn't going

706
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 3: to get to a if I interested this, you know

707
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 3: what I mean. That's kind of not proud to say that,

708
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 3: but that's how I was. But the one thing I

709
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 3: am proud to say is whatever was required, I was.

710
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 3: I was. I was willing to do it. Okay, job,

711
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 3: I don't even know if there was a class, you know,

712
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 3: in particular. I think probably the hardest class I took

713
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 3: here was exercise physiology. That was difficult. What was difficult

714
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 3: about science? You know and all that stuff that yeah,

715
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 3: all that stuff now and it's just like, you know,

716
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 3: you know, I didn't really care for it that much

717
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 3: and like it, but that was a difficult one for me,

718
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 3: and somehow I was able to make it through. The

719
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 3: one thing I still understand, I think I took four

720
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 3: and a half years of Spanish in high school and

721
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 3: I came here and I had my you know, the

722
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 3: exam just to to foreign language requirement, right, So I

723
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 3: remember taking my my my Spanish stuff, and I remember

724
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 3: walking like, oh my god, like I didn't learn anything

725
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 3: high school, you know, and I tested out of all

726
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 3: of it. Oh really, yes, I still don't know how

727
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 3: I did it. I didn't even have to do my

728
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 3: foreign language requirement. So I guess I'm just brilliant that way.

729
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 10: Were you?

730
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 3: Did you go to high school for four and a

731
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 3: half years? Well, well that's a great and it was

732
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 3: the three and a half. Maybe I could go for four. Yeah,

733
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 3: thanks for checking me on. I was just you know,

734
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 3: I took Spanish every year and some in some former

735
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 3: fashion in high school and like I never, I never

736
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 3: for I had to go and I had to do

737
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,479
Speaker 3: my entry, you know, the test, and I thought, well,

738
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 3: I don't know anything here. This is hard, and somehow

739
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 3: I tested that. Yeah, I did get out of it.

740
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 4: I'm not sure if that speaks highly have like Roseville

741
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 4: prepared you, or that you was not that strenuous.

742
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 2: I'm not.

743
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 3: I'm trying to figure out which way to go. It's

744
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 3: probably all of it, It's probably, yeah, it was probably

745
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 3: all of it. Could you speak Spanish in the pinch?

746
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 12: Now?

747
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 3: Did any of it?

748
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 9: Not?

749
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 13: Not?

750
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 3: Really? We poke it? Yeah I could. I could do

751
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 3: that enough to enough to maybe get by. You got

752
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 3: to go and immerse yourself in it to be able

753
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 3: to do it. Yes, that's what they say. That's what

754
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 3: they said.

755
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 4: I took Spanish to at like five different colleges, didn't

756
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 4: thought of any of them.

757
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I had to. I had to keep still working

758
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 3: on it, Yeah, still working on it. All right.

759
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 4: So it's college football season, and it's college football playoff season,

760

762
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 4: guy who's been through it, how do you how do

763
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 4: you not focus on the outside noise, whether at any

764
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 4: of your different stops or I'm sure you came up

765
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 4: for different jobs.

766
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:05,080

00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 3: and you know, whenever this this run is done.

771
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 4: What's the Because you get asked about it, fans know what,

772
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 4: players probably know it. What's your best advice to coaches

773
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 4: that are going through right now being asked about some

774
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 4: pretty high profile jobs.

775
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 3: I think you know, for me, you know, the the

776
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 3: the longer you do it, you kind of understand what

777
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 3: the noise is and everything. I think it's probably important

778
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 3: for other people to remember too. I mean, players are

779
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 3: pretty they they get it, you know what I mean,

780
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 3: they read it too. They they understand the way that

781
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 3: the business works. You know, there had there been a

782
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 3: time where you know, you maybe even addressed it, like

783
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 3: with your team and and and in the right way.

784
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 3: But I think for me, the players just always appreciated that.

785
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 3: It never changed my approach every day and what you're doing.

786
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 3: I think every season in every team, no matter what

787
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 3: it is, even if you have a lot of guys returning,

788
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 3: you have that one moment in time r right, And

789
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 3: I think just focusing on that, on the one moment

790
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 3: in time that we have right now, here's our opportunity.

791
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 3: This team will never be together this way and this

792
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 3: circumstance ever again. So let's just pour our hearts into that.

793
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 3: And you just realize how fleeting all of this is.

794
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 3: So you try to put your energy there. You know,

795
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 3: you answer the questions the right way. But you know,

796
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 3: a funny thing is that I would always tell people is, listen,

797
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 3: you know our business usually one of two things is happening.

798
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 2: Right.

799
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 3: There's either rumors about you losing your job or or

800
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 3: the rumors about you maybe getting another one is kind

801
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 3: of isn't that true? Yeah, what it feels like. And

802
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 3: so I'd rather be part of a program that you're

803
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 3: winning a lot, where you know people are looking at

804
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 3: what you're doing and the success that you're having and

805
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 3: people maybe want to find ways to be a part

806
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 3: of that or see what you're doing. And so I

807
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 3: think that's the blessing in it. But it isn't it.

808
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 3: It's a tricky thing to navigate, especially with the schedule

809
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 3: you know that we have right now with the portal

810
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,239
Speaker 3: window and the bowls and our case to turn them

811
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 3: in in March. But it is what it is. But

812
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 3: I think players probably understand the business more than we

813
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 3: give them credit for.

814
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 9: Well.

815
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,280
Speaker 4: Lane Kiffin even said this year players same things happening

816
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 4: for them. In some cases that might be a cynical

817
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 4: thing to say, right, but there's there's there's that thing going.

818
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 4: So I'm curious about you mentioned the longer that you've

819
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 4: been in it, is that something you had to learn

820
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 4: to make the main thing the main thing and and

821
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:23,879
Speaker 4: just be present with the group.

822
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, yeah, I just think you continue to

823
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 3: get better at it. You know, as time goes by,

824
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 3: you understand what it is. Like you said, keeping the

825
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 3: main thing the main thing, after you've been through it

826
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 3: for for several times in several years, it's just kind

827
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:38,320
Speaker 3: of you know what I mean, you don't really let it,

828
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 3: You don't really let it phase you. You know that

829
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,919
Speaker 3: that that way, And and so I never really had

830
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 3: much of an issue doing that. I'd never changed how

831
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 3: I coached or how I approach the guys. And you

832
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 3: get a read for them. If you feel like there's

833
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 3: something you need to address, you know you you do.

834
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 3: But I think that's your foundation. And again it's just

835
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 3: this year, this moment in time, this is what we're

836
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 3: focused on right here. And I think the people would

837
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 3: say that the places that I've been and the people

838
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 3: that I've worked with, I think they to appreciate how

839
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,240
Speaker 3: we've always handled that. There's no good way to answer

840
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 3: the question publicly, is there?

841
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 9: No?

842
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 3: I mean, and like people, you know, can you comment,

843
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 3: and like, no, I can't comment, you know, I mean,

844
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 3: I don't And people are doing their jobs right, you

845
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 3: know for asking about it, and there is no way

846
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 3: to answer. But I'll say this, and you know that

847
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 3: the media folks in Colorado last year, you know, I

848
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 3: had a great relationship with them. You know, they were

849
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 3: critical when they needed to be, but I know they

850
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 3: knew I was always going to answer the questions. I

851
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:37,240
Speaker 3: was a stand up guy. They had every reason last

852
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 3: year to keep asking me questions during the Mountain West

853
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 3: Tournament and the NCAA Tournament, and you know what, they

854
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 3: never did. I noticed that, and I thank them all after.

855
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 3: I called them all personally and I said, thank you

856
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 3: for doing that. And I think everybody knew what it was,

857
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 3: but they also knew that, Man, this team is just

858
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 3: having a magical run and I'm enjoying it too. And

859
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 3: I don't want to take away from that he's getting

860
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 3: asked what they knew, what they probably too, because in

861
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 3: years past there have been rumors about jobs or whatever,

862
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 3: and so I think I just really appreciated them handling

863
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 3: that that way. And that doesn't mean that they had

864
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 3: to or that, you know, but they they did. And

865
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 3: but you're right, going back to your original question, there's

866
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 3: no way to really answer those questions to anybody satisfaction. Yeah.

867
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 4: Well, and it's a weird dynamic in that people take

868
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 4: different jobs all the time, and we're not asking them

869
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 4: Hey what.

870
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 3: Do you think about this gig? Or hey your name.

871
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 3: It's a unique profession in that way. And you know,

872
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:36,280
Speaker 3: for me personally, I mean, and I hope the fans

873
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:40,839
Speaker 3: understand this. Like you know, I loved Colorado. I wasn't

874
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 3: taking you know, any job. This is not any job, right.

875
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 3: This is a really really special job and a special

876
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 3: opportunity for me here and one that I can't even

877
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 3: begin to explain how excited I am. I know what

878
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 3: the challenge is, but it's just something that means the

879
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 3: world to me. And so this isn't any job. And

880
00:36:56,680 --> 00:37:00,040
Speaker 3: I'm here because this is where I feel like I

881
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 3: meant to be and I'm so excited about it, and

882
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 3: the people have been unbelievable, and so this isn't just

883
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 3: oh it's a big time job. This is the University

884
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,760
Speaker 3: of Minnesota. This is the job that I've always wanted,

885
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:11,800
Speaker 3: and I'm ready to rock. I like it.

886
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:12,320
Speaker 9: I like it.

887
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 3: You can clap for that, by the way, I don't

888
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 3: have to sit.

889
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:19,879
Speaker 4: I mean, all right, lastly rate yourself because I'm gonna

890
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 4: be gone next week. I'll be at the bowl game,

891
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,760
Speaker 4: so Christmas will be a few days away. Rate yourself

892
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 4: as a gift giver.

893
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:31,919
Speaker 3: Oh man, B, I would say, you know what I mean,

894
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 3: it's like the finals you needed to be Yeah, B.

895
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:36,919
Speaker 3: I mean, every once in a while I'll come. I'm

896
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 3: curious to see what my wife thinks to the present.

897
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 3: I'm getting her right now. I think it's pretty good.

898
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 3: But you believe it.

899
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 13: I do.

900
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 3: I believe in it. You think she'll give you a

901
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:49,320
Speaker 3: B though, well, she'll probably give me an a but

902
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 3: deep inside she might say, be you know what I mean,

903
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,360
Speaker 3: actually did put some thought into it, you know. So

904
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,240
Speaker 3: I think it's pretty good. But I'm just I'm just okay,

905
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 3: and like for some people to you know, like what

906
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 3: I or you know, I staff other people out, you know,

907
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 3: just go with the gift card. Make it easy.

908
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, well yeah, I've kind of bailed and done

909
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 4: the gift card route.

910
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:10,240
Speaker 3: I don't think there's anything wrong with it. No, I agree,

911
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 3: but it's like I kind of thought about you, but

912
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:15,280
Speaker 3: not a ton.

913
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:17,240
Speaker 4: You know, like I could have got you something specific

914
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 4: check the box. But also gift card you can get

915
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 4: whatever you want with it. So there's that freedom of

916
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:23,320
Speaker 4: choice too, which I think is important.

917
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 3: It's kind of like politics. It's it's you're checking the box.

918
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 3: Do you know what I mean? But you really can

919
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 3: plausibly say, but I really wasn't listen. This is good

920
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 3: for you. You can this is really good for you.

921
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 3: You can get whatever you want. That's how much I

922
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 3: care to give me the freedom get you what I

923
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 3: thought you wanted. You can go ahead and get with

1012

1013
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 2: one to ten, went to the NCAA a whisker away

1014
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 2: from making the Sweet sixteen, all kinds of success. Do

1015
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 2: you know what your team's record was one year ago today?

1016
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:51,399
Speaker 2: I don't, but it wasn't very good. Six and five,

1017
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 2: five and five, five and five, And then a year

1018
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:56,399
Speaker 2: ago tomorrow you beat Radford to go to six and five,

1019
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 2: which is the record that you currently own with the

1020
00:42:58,560 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 2: golden goal.

1021
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 3: Oh is that where we're going? So that's where I

1022
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 3: headed with that. So you know, I mean, nothing major,

1023
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 3: but can you win? You know, twenty of the next

1024
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:11,360
Speaker 3: twenty five, anything's possible, right, all right? I It is

1025
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,400
Speaker 3: funny the other day we were talking about that. I

1026
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:15,839
Speaker 3: was looking at some old practice plans and stuff from

1027
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 3: last year and just kind of digging around and like,

1028
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 3: I can't make we went sixteen and four in the

1029
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,280
Speaker 3: Mountain West, like you want eleven straight eleven or eleven

1030
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 3: strade ifebru It was crazy how we just kind of

1031
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 3: kind of kicked it in gear. But yeah, we had

1032
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 3: a huge win. I remember right around right after Christmas

1033
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 3: we won at Nevada and a huge game, and yeah,

1034
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:36,320
Speaker 3: we really kicked it and kicked it in gear after that.

1035
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 3: So you're trivia, Can I tell you this about grim

1036
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,399
Speaker 3: This is why love Grimm's always got all this great

1037
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 3: like trivia. Yeah, we're getting ready to play Texas Southern,

1038
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 3: right and we're sitting there in the morning, we're doing

1039
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:50,720
Speaker 3: the raises. Hey, Nico, do you remember like Texas Southern

1040
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:53,440
Speaker 3: If you remember this or not, you know, Texas Southern

1041
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:55,320
Speaker 3: came in here and we're making fifteenth in the country

1042
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 3: and they came in here and beat us by twenty,

1043
00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 3: you know, and it's kind of going through all these stats. Well,

1044
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 3: thanks for my morning here, Greg. We're getting ready to

1045
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:05,880
Speaker 3: play Texas Southern or whatever. But that, no, that was

1046
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:08,440
Speaker 3: a remarkable turnaround. And I don't know if we've got

1047
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:10,440
Speaker 3: twenty of twenty five in US, but the whole idea

1048
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:12,279
Speaker 3: is we've just got to keep growing. We've got to

1049
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:13,439
Speaker 3: get better. Yeah.

1050
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:15,840
Speaker 4: And by the way, my morning was also ruined, not

1051
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 4: because I was on that team or part of that team,

1052
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:20,320
Speaker 4: but because Grim told me that same story like thirty

1053
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 4: minutes before he told you, because I was also at

1054
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 4: the barn, and he told me way more details than

1055
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 4: I ever needed to know and made me late for

1056
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 4: coach plixel Light in our pregame interview, Yeah, well, hey,

1057
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:30,719
Speaker 4: but I know about the ninety four Texas Southern team.

1058
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 4: If you ever ever comes up in Buffalo wild Wings trivia.

1059
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, you've had all the info you need, no no

1060
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 2: doubt about it. That was an NCAA tournament team. Oh boy,

1061
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:40,360
Speaker 2: and on I'm just kidding. I mean they were. But

1062
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:43,400
Speaker 2: anyway down the road we go, what was it last year?

1063
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:45,800
Speaker 2: Do you think that that that you probably you know,

1064
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 2: I looked you lost a riverside, right, you see Riverside.

1065
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:50,799
Speaker 2: That couldn't have been the brightest day of the season

1066
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 2: last year for you. And then what was it do

1067
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 2: you think at this time of year that that flipped it?

1068
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 2: I think, you know, I'll give our team a ton

1069
00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 2: of credit. I think really embracing the things we were

1070
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:01,279
Speaker 2: talking about out as Hey, we just kind of needed

1071
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:05,439
Speaker 2: to let go of any expectations of what anyone else

1072
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 2: thought or them and we just need to dig in

1073
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 2: and work. Got an opportunity here in this next month

1074
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 2: to just focus on getting better every day, you know,

1075
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:15,920
Speaker 2: individually and as a team, and you know, as coaches

1076
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:17,840
Speaker 2: and all of us. We had the right group of guys,

1077
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 2: and you know, guys starting to kind of get comfortable

1078
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 2: with maybe their role and what we needed to do,

1079
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:25,360
Speaker 2: maybe changed a couple of things up in practice, focused

1080
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 2: a lot more on ourselves than who we were playing.

1081
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:31,880
Speaker 2: And then sometimes it's just it's funny how you just

1082
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 2: kind of need one of those games to go your way.

1083
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 2: Right You're you're in a dog fight with somebody and

1084
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 2: you know, guy makes a couple of big plays, We

1085
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 2: drill a huge critical shot, you know, with the minute

1086
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 2: to go, and you steal a huge win, and all

1087
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:46,719
Speaker 2: of a sudden, you just sort of feel like, all right,

1088
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 2: here we go, you know, and you don't flinch.

1089
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 3: And so I think all those things, you know, play

1090
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:55,400
Speaker 3: into it. Every team, every situation's different. The one thing

1091
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:57,640
Speaker 3: that just never changes is you've just got to continue

1092
00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:00,279
Speaker 3: to focus and get better. Even if we were ten

1093
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 3: and one, I mean, you start resting on your laurels

1094
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 3: at all and start thinking, oh, boy, we're really good.

1095
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 3: Listen to all these people tell us how good we are,

1096
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 3: and boy, you know we're gonna we're gonna, we're gonna

1097
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:11,440
Speaker 3: go to the NC Double A's and oh, this team's

1098
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:13,279
Speaker 3: got a chance to go to this sweet sixteen. And

1099
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:15,799
Speaker 3: you start listening to that the same way you start

1100
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:18,400
Speaker 3: listening to everybody telling you you're no good. It just

1101
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:20,759
Speaker 3: what does Nick Saban call it? Rend poison? You know

1102
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:24,759
Speaker 3: that's not the way this stuff works. Things change very

1103
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:27,040
Speaker 3: very quickly in either direction, and so you've really got

1104
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:28,920
Speaker 3: to try to spee where your feet are, you know,

1105
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:30,880
Speaker 3: stay in the moment and get better. And you know

1106
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:33,800
Speaker 3: that's our charge right now. We've got to improve. And

1107
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 3: I'm no different I listen. I know these guys no

1108
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 3: different than what Matt Painter or Tom Izzo or those

1109
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:41,399
Speaker 3: guys are trying to do the same thing. But it's

1110
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 3: easier said than done.

1111
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:44,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, my question isn't gonna make any sense down

1112
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 4: because you said where your feet are? My question was

1113
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 4: gonna be how aware are you at this point of

1114
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 4: the year of everything else that's going on in the

1115
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:53,239
Speaker 4: Big ten like, how are you checking in? Obviously you

1116
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 4: know the records, you know who's playing, but like, do

1117
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 4: you have staff members that are that are grabbing stuff

1118
00:46:57,640 --> 00:46:59,279
Speaker 4: on your first couple of Big Ten opponents once you.

1119
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:01,480
Speaker 3: Get back that we've got Yeah, I mean, we've got

1120
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:03,800
Speaker 3: all that. But it's funny you asked that. I just

1121
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 3: I said, maybe that's another thing even last year, just

1122
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:09,359
Speaker 3: kind of even like, I don't know who we're playing

1123
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:11,840
Speaker 3: in two weeks. I really don't care what San Diego

1124
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:14,600
Speaker 3: State's doing or what Michigan State's doing right now. That

1125
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 3: has no impact on us today. Sure, you know what

1126
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 3: I mean. I don't control what they're doing, or who's playing,

1127
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 3: how well they're playing, or anything like that. The only

1128
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:24,480
Speaker 3: thing we control is how we're doing. And I think

1129
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 3: sometimes allowing yourself to just let go of all those

1130
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:29,840
Speaker 3: things and just focus on your own house, you know

1131
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:32,479
Speaker 3: what I mean, I think that that's really empowering. Listen,

1132
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:34,719
Speaker 3: I watch the games. I mean I have a chance

1133
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 3: to watch most of the teams in the Big Ten

1134
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 3: and kind of have an understanding of what's going on.

1135
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 3: But again, I don't know who these guys are. Most

1136
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 3: of them are on finals play in the next game.

1137
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 3: But whatever happens in the you know, Michigan State, whoever game,

1138
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:49,759
Speaker 3: has no impact on what's going to happen with us

1139
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 3: in practice tomorrow or against Campbell on Sunday. And so

1140
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:55,279
Speaker 3: we've just got to worry about that, and then as

1141
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 3: we get ready to play these teams, we'll turn our

1142
00:47:57,719 --> 00:47:58,440
Speaker 3: attention that way.

1143
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 2: Just a few seconds left here, half a minute or so.

1144
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 2: Have you guys dived into Campbell yet or will that

1145
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:04,839
Speaker 2: come later in the week.

1146
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:07,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I again, they're all difficult, you know,

1147
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 3: on paper, this will be the most difficult of the

1148
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 3: quote unquote by games. I think they do a really

1149
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:15,359
Speaker 3: really good job.

1150
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:16,400
Speaker 9: You know.

1151
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:18,840
Speaker 3: They give West Virginia a game. They were in it

1152
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 3: with Wisconsin, and people at that they're going to look

1153
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:22,840
Speaker 3: at the score and they say Wisconsin, you know, but

1154
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 3: that was a close game until the last six seven

1155
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:28,960
Speaker 3: minutes of the game. They're very well coached, they're very physical,

1156
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 3: they've got a plan. So it will be a challenge

1157
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 3: for us. They all are, Yeah, no doubt. All right,

1158
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 3: we'll see you Sunday. See Sunday at five o'clock, four thirty.

1159
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:37,799
Speaker 3: We will take air.
