All right, Jones, you know, 28 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 6: the Lucky Joe's.

We 31 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 6: got a great chance to connect with fans and had 32 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 6: a good turnout. And this is awesome.

Well, this is great. 38 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,680 Speaker 3: We'll have most of the shows all year Tuesday noon 39 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,559 Speaker 3: to one because basketball schedule, you know, it's a little 40 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 3: bit different than football, where it's usually you know, Thursday, 41 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 3: Friday or Saturday, almost always Saturday. Here, you've got Monday games, 42 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 3: Tuesday games, travel days, so most of the shows will 43 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 3: be Tuesday. You'll want to check your local listings each week. 44 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,559 Speaker 3: There's a few Monday, a few Wednesday shows to accommodate 45 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 3: the travel. 46 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 2: Schedule and the game schedule. 47 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 3: You guys got back from California, Palm Springs, Palm Desert, California, 48 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 3: and it too two losses and injuries started to take 49 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 3: the toll. So let's start with can you give us 50 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 3: an update on how your guys are doing health wise? 51 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 6: You know, unfortunately we did not get some good news, 52 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 6: you know after the trip. You know, we kind of 53 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 6: suspected it, but you know, clarified it yesterday that you know, 54 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 6: Chauncey Willis is going to have to miss the rest 55 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,919 Speaker 6: of the season unfortunately with a with a broken foot. 56 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 2: So that's a huge blow. It's a huge blow to him. 57 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 6: He's such a great, great young man and you know 58 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 6: he's got an incredible story and you know, huge blow 59 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 6: that way. So, uh, we confirm that Monday, which is 60 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 6: what we we thought had happened. You know, in the 61 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,119 Speaker 6: first game against Stanford. I think it was what three 62 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 6: minutes into the to the game. You know, Rob Fiela 63 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 6: is not making a little bit of progress, but but 64 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 6: still you know, Nie has bothered him. So we don't 65 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 6: know when, uh that will be back. We're still you know, 66 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 6: working on trying to get bj Ahmed back, you know. 67 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 6: So it's been a challenge. It's been a challenge. It's 68 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 6: a blow to our guys. It's been hard to practic this, 69 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 6: but hey, we're not the only team you know that 70 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 6: has injuries. I think it's important to acknowledge that sometimes 71 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 6: coaches get up here and you can be disingenuous and 72 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 6: not talk about. Of course, injuries play a factor, right 73 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 6: you do it, it changes the way you practice, the way 74 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 6: you prepare your guys who you're counting on you know 75 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 6: are not there. But at the same point in time, listen, 76 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 6: whining about it doesn't do anything. You know, we still 77 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 6: have to find a way with the guys that we 78 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 6: have to get the most out of them. No one's 79 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 6: going to feel sorry for you. We're not the only 80 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 6: team that deals with injuries, and so we just got 81 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 6: to go and buckle up and we will. 82 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 2: This group will keep fighting. 83 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 4: That's kind of where I was going to go next. 84 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 4: How do you handle it with the group and the team, 85 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 4: because they obviously know they've got a couple of guys down, 86 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 4: and I'm sure some are looking forward to opportunities that 87 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 4: maybe they wouldn't have had otherwise. But even before the 88 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 4: first coaches radio show, you're dealing with some pretty serious 89 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 4: injuries this early on, So how tough is that to 90 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 4: get that message across? 91 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 6: I think you know guys who are in it. It's 92 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 6: a reality of being in sports, right, of being on teams. 93 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 6: And you know, I tell them, and I told them 94 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 6: the other night too, you know, in the locker room. 95 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 6: And if they get one thing out of our program, 96 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 6: and they may roll their eyes, but if they heard 97 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 6: it once, they heard it a million times. You know, 98 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 6: you don't learn, you don't grow, and you don't learn 99 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 6: a lot about people when things are going great. You 100 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 6: learn when things are going tough. You learn a lot 101 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 6: about your circle. You learn a lot about yourself. Who 102 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 6: do you want in the foxhole with you? How are 103 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 6: you going to respond? And I tell my coaches that too. 104 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 6: As I've been fortunate to be in this business a 105 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 6: long time, the times that I've grown the most as 106 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 6: a coach is when things have been hard and so 107 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 6: we get an opportunity to do that and guys need 108 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 6: to step up. Some guys are going to have to play. 109 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 6: You know, it's not too bad to say, hey, you 110 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 6: got to play all forty minutes, right, There are worse 111 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 6: things right, Guys want to play, and so we'll have 112 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 6: to retool that way. But I think it's just how 113 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 6: you frame it, and like I told the guys, we 114 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 6: have to focus on playing to the best of our ability. 115 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 6: How can we become the best team that we can be, 116 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 6: And that's our journey right now. And these guys, we 117 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 6: got high character guys. They'll stay in the fight and 118 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 6: they'll keep battling and we'll improve. 119 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 3: From a logistical standpoint or a pragmatic standpoint, is, how 120 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 3: does the point guard situation now get uh normally resolved 121 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 3: with minutes? 122 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 2: I guess right, I. 123 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 6: Think you know, we've really got two guys, you know, 124 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 6: obviously Isaac Ossama in Langston Reynolds. I think you'll kind 125 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 6: of see those guys will start in the backcourt together 126 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 6: and that will be a little bit by committee, but 127 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 6: that's that's that's what it is, right And so as 128 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 6: a coach, I guess it kind of simplifies things, right, 129 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 6: you know, this is what what it is, and this 130 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 6: is what we've got, and those two guys are more 131 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 6: than capable, and they're gonna have to play more minutes. 132 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 6: They're gonna have to learn how to play really physical 133 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 6: and hard without fouling, play through fatigue, all those kinds 134 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,479 Speaker 6: of things. And so that's what we'll do at the 135 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 6: point guard. 136 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 2: Position, and I gotta I gotta get the timing right. 137 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 3: Were you were you on campus ship for the Iron 138 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 3: five or were you still in high school? 139 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,799 Speaker 2: I was still in high school that way. But it's funny. 140 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 6: I actually had a recollection of myself back to that, 141 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 6: you know. And and uh, you know, in some ways 142 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 6: that's kind of what it what it is, you know. 143 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 6: And and guys are gonna have to log a lot 144 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 6: of minutes, and that's okay, And we just have to rethink, 145 00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 6: you know, as coaches, how can we do this. Do 146 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 6: we have to play a little slower at times? How 147 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,359 Speaker 6: do we manage our timeouts? How can we get guys 148 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 6: in strategically before media timeouts to maybe get them a 149 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 6: little bit of a longer break, manage files? Guys are 150 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:11,799 Speaker 6: going to have to learn if they have two fouls 151 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 6: in the game. Sometimes I don't want to say giving 152 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 6: up a basket, but sometimes you can't put yourself in 153 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 6: harm's way, you know what I mean, to pick up 154 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 6: that third even if it means you maybe give up 155 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 6: something because we just can't afford to have you on 156 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:23,359 Speaker 6: the bench. 157 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, you also mentioned to us just before we came 158 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 3: on the Earth, it's you don't have you can't even 159 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 3: have a five on. 160 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 2: Five practice with all scholarship. 161 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 3: Guys now right, you're using managers and maybe not even 162 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 3: getting a full ten. 163 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,679 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that's you know, that's coaches stuff fans, 164 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 6: But that's that's been really hard for me. Practice is 165 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 6: my favorite thing about coaching. I love practice. We put 166 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 6: a lot of time into it. That's really where you improve. 167 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,559 Speaker 6: And that's been a challenge, you know, because we need 168 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 6: to practice our execution at both ends. But it's been 169 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 6: really hard. We don't have enough numbers to do it. 170 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,919 Speaker 6: And then two, when you have to play guys so 171 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 6: many minutes, you're just you know, we can't get anyone 172 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 6: else hurt. You know, how hard do we practice you 173 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 6: know today and for having these seven guys, the amount 174 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 6: of time what we put you know, almost three hours 175 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 6: this morning into what we're going to do here today 176 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 6: for about an hour and fifteen minutes after this. But 177 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 6: you just got to try to be you know, creative 178 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 6: and maximize it any way you can. 179 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, what do you come up with? That was kind 180 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 4: of going to be my question. If you can't really 181 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 4: do what you want to do practice wise, how do 182 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 4: you get the closest to it. 183 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 6: I think, you know, you can double down at some 184 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 6: of the skill in teaching stuff, you know, small groups, 185 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 6: the the two on two, the three on three, you know, 186 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 6: really really using your coaches and stuff as IDs you know, 187 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 6: in offense and defense. So you're just kind of doing 188 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 6: a lot more breakdown, you know that that way, maybe 189 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 6: some of the five on five the coach don't have 190 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 6: enough guys to go live, but maybe we can do 191 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 6: more of like pseudo walkthroughs, you know, at speed almost 192 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 6: like they do in football. And that's really it, you know, 193 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 6: four and four, three on three, just really try to 194 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 6: get creative that way and put them in similar situations 195 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 6: and actions that they're going to see in the game. 196 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:58,119 Speaker 6: There's nothing that replaces the five on five. But again, 197 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 6: you got to control the controllables. That's all he can do. 198 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 6: And and somehow there's going to be a way that 199 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 6: you know, I always look back and say, man, I 200 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 6: became a better coach through this because I had to 201 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 6: get creative. 202 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 2: You know, guys will become better players having. 203 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 6: To you know, maybe play a bigger role, play through fatigue, 204 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 6: do some things that are maybe out of their comfort zone. 205 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 2: And that's what we build on. 206 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 4: If you if one of your coaches needed to give 207 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 4: you a few trips up the floor in practice, who's 208 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 4: most likely on your staff to be able to do 209 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 4: that well, at least likely Power rankings for the fitness 210 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 4: of your coaching status. 211 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:26,239 Speaker 2: So ability. 212 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 6: Yeah, So first of all, Joe Desmonds sitting over there 213 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 6: is as good as anyone we've got on. 214 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 2: Our He could give you some trips. 215 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 6: Yeah, but he's not technically you know, the coach so 216 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 6: to be out there. But he is a oh man, 217 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 6: he's a I mean three and d. He is a 218 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,079 Speaker 6: college version of like a Jaden McDaniels. I love it, 219 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 6: kind of deal, a better shooter, you know, not as long, 220 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 6: not as good of a defender, but he's he's good. 221 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 6: Out of our coaches right now, it's tough. They're all 222 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 6: bad right now. They're too old. I can't do it. 223 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 6: I mean, armand tried to get you know the other day, 224 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 6: get out there. 225 00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 2: It's not good really anymore. 226 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 6: And I've seen too many coaches and they get older, 227 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 6: they get out there and you know, it's an achilles 228 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 6: for sure. 229 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 2: And that's the last thing. 230 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 3: We need. 231 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:06,959 Speaker 2: One of those little tricycle things for. 232 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,439 Speaker 6: Your But no, we got enough guys on the eye. R. 233 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 6: I don't need an assistant on the eye. 234 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 4: Well, there was one year where I think a manager 235 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 4: popped an a cl Right, what are we doing here? 236 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 4: We had guys that were hurt, and a manager's got 237 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 4: to have certain minutes. 238 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 6: I want to tell you what though, it was bad enough, 239 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 6: like we we were down whatever guys, and there's like, 240 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 6: I don't know, eight minutes left in the Santa Clara 241 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,959 Speaker 6: game the other night, and I look down, I look 242 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:30,439 Speaker 6: back and there's Jalen Crocker. 243 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 2: Johnson, you know, limping up the court and Aaron he. 244 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 6: Goes to He goes, coach, you can't make this up, man, 245 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 6: you know, And I was like, oh my god, did something. 246 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 2: You know he's dealt with an ankle. 247 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 6: You thank god it was just you know, resprained it 248 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 6: again and whatever. But yeah, we just we can't have 249 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 6: a coach go down either. 250 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 3: You can't have that. That said a little bit shorthanded. Obviously, 251 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 3: the first part of the Santa Clair game didn't go 252 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 3: the way you wanted. 253 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 2: They hit everything. 254 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 3: You guys can understand, Yeah, you guys could you guys 255 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 3: couldn't need anything. They hit everything, and that that's spells, 256 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 3: you know, not the way you wanted to go, but 257 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 3: the closing factor when you only had seven guys, you know, 258 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 3: it was a good a good effort in terms of, 259 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 3: you know, closing the gap, finishing strong, hitting some shots. 260 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 6: I don't know, yeah, I think again, listen, let me 261 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 6: be clear, Like if people you get to know me, 262 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 6: I'm the most competitive guy you've been around. I hate losing. 263 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 6: I hate losing. I have the that's what we're here 264 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,199 Speaker 6: to do. But I think sometimes when you're in those situations, 265 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 6: you know, we knew Santa Clair was going to press 266 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 6: pressure us down to point guard down bodies back to back. 267 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 2: It really just they just got jumped us, you know. 268 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,199 Speaker 6: And so what halftime, You're like, Okay, we just got 269 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 6: to focus on playing a good twenty minutes. You know, 270 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 6: how do we reframe this right now? How do we 271 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 6: find a way to go out there and try to 272 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 6: win this half and let's get better? I think so 273 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 6: we can have something to build on. And I thought 274 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 6: they did that. I thought the guys, you know, did 275 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 6: what we needed to do in the second half. They 276 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 6: showed me something. They never quit. I was really proud 277 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 6: of a guy like Kais Shinholster. You know, freshman gets 278 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,719 Speaker 6: an opportunity. He's flying around on the offense glass, he's 279 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 6: diving on the floor. Really brought us some energy. Guys 280 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 6: like cade Tyson. Typically in a game like that, we 281 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 6: might take him out. He couldn't come out, you know, 282 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 6: because there's no we don't do, having else to play. 283 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 6: And he's almost you know, in the second half, you know, 284 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 6: throwing up in the time because he's given you everything 285 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 6: he has, you know, And so there's there's some toughness 286 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,439 Speaker 6: in that group, and that's something to build on. And 287 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,079 Speaker 6: like I told him, I said, you know, you look 288 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 6: around the room right now, and you learn a lot 289 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 6: about your teammates and yourself. 290 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 2: Who's going to stay in the fight when things are tough? 291 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 6: And and I think that's a big thing that you know, 292 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 6: you're about building the culture and everything that we want 293 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 6: to do that can be bigger than winning and losing. 294 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 4: Did it confirm to you like these last couple of weeks. 295 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 4: Obviously you kind of microwave this team right in twenty 296 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 4: twenty five. You get here, you get the job, you 297 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 4: get get a lot of new faces. You probably knew 298 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 4: something about their character beforehand, but it's probably hard to 299 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,680 Speaker 4: really truly know that it confirmed to you kind of 300 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 4: the guys that you thought you brought in. 301 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think again, Yes, I mean I think you 302 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 6: learn a lot about people and you know, and not 303 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 6: good and bad, but you also learn, Okay, man, there's 304 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 6: a way we got to try to help this young 305 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 6: man grow, right, here's something that we can really help 306 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 6: him improve on. 307 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 2: But yes, you do. 308 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,319 Speaker 6: You don't no matter how many guys you have, whatever 309 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 6: they've done before. 310 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 2: Every team's different. 311 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 6: You don't really learn about your team until you go 312 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 6: through it. And every team's going to go through about 313 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,079 Speaker 6: what your response is going to be. And so I 314 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 6: thought they did show that in the in the second half. 315 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 6: And now at least there's clarity, right, Like we know 316 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 6: it really stinks for Chance, but he's out right now, 317 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 6: you know, And so we know these guys are out. 318 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 6: These are the seven guys that we have right now, 319 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 6: and maybe in a way that just gives them clarity 320 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 6: of Okay, this is it. 321 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 2: We got to go out there and find a way 322 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:35,959 Speaker 2: to make the most of this. 323 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,679 Speaker 3: A couple more just with the situation is it as 324 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 3: it is injury wise, It's not like the NBA where 325 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 3: you just call up a couple of dudes from G 326 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 3: League or find a guy you know on the waiver 327 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 3: wire that's not there. But are there things now with 328 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 3: the transfer portal that maybe you could add a guy 329 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 3: in the middle of the season or a semester or 330 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 3: something like that, or no, Well. 331 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 6: It's funny, I wish. I mean, there's a couple of 332 00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 6: guys finches and't playing right. If we can take those guys, 333 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 6: you know, it's it's challenging at the semester. There could be, 334 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 6: you know, a possibility, you know, there's was there an 335 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 6: international players or somebody else you know, who could come 336 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 6: at this semester. I think you need to be cautious though, 337 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 6: because again, sometimes the short term band aid might feel 338 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 6: good for a little bit, but that's not what we're 339 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 6: aiming to do, right. We're aiming to be a great 340 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 6: prom and so anyone that we would want to add 341 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 6: would be somebody that that we would envision could be 342 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 6: here for the long term, not just for you know, 343 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,199 Speaker 6: the last few months of the season, but somebody who 344 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,559 Speaker 6: we think long term we could really you know, build with. 345 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 6: And so I think that's what all options have to 346 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 6: be on the table. 347 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 2: You're always looking to add guys. 348 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 6: We would have flexibility to do that, but it's it's 349 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 6: really got to make sense. 350 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 3: And then lastly, for at least for me on that 351 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 3: part of it. And again you just got the news yesterday. 352 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 3: But with Chauncey, I know he had a junior college 353 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 3: year that I don't know what that means. I think 354 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,199 Speaker 3: there's still rulings on that has he played too much 355 00:13:58,240 --> 00:13:58,839 Speaker 3: at eight games? 356 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,319 Speaker 2: Or is this a chance he could get a meal? 357 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 6: He should have no problem getting a medical and so 358 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 6: you know, like I told him, and obviously he's a 359 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 6: he's a young man I would really want to have 360 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:08,560 Speaker 6: back in the program. 361 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:09,959 Speaker 2: He's about all the right things. 362 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 6: He is tough as nails, he's so coachable, and you know, 363 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 6: you look at his journey and like I, he's been 364 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 6: at all, you know, these different places. And I told him, 365 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 6: as much as this stinks for you, you know he's 366 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 6: going to look back on this and he'll be cleared 367 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 6: in the spring. At some point, you get to be 368 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 6: where your feet are. You know, you've learned a lot 369 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 6: already from playing. Being here in the summer, you get 370 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 6: an opportunity to watch and learn and kind of see 371 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 6: the game from a different side right away. In the spring, 372 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 6: he has a full spring, full summer. And I said, 373 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 6: you'll have a much better season next year than you 374 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 6: would have had this year, you know, just with your 375 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 6: experience and being in the same place, and you'll look 376 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 6: back on this next year at this time and you'll realize, Man, 377 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 6: in some way, that was meant to be for me. 378 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 2: And as hard as it was at the time, I 379 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 2: grew through that.

He's kind 524 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 3: of developed into the go to player that I'm sure 525 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,119 Speaker 3: when you talked him into becoming a Golden Gopher. You 526 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 3: were hoping to see, I mean, twenty plus points each night. 527 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,440 Speaker 3: He mentioned how hard he was working late in that 528 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 3: game against Santa Clara. Just talk us through, maybe take 529 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,680 Speaker 3: us all the way back to the recruitment process and 530 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 3: what you liked about him and how it all worked 531 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 3: out for him to end up here in the Twin Cities. 532 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 2: You know, we were. 533 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,360 Speaker 6: Familiar with him when he played at Belmont. Obviously, I've 534 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 6: told the story two years ago. You know, he was 535 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:33,199 Speaker 6: one of the top transfers available. He's a North Carolina kid, right, 536 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 6: so I see the lure of going back home and 537 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 6: playing for Carolina. It's a team he grew up cheering for. 538 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 6: Just didn't work out for him. But I think, you know, 539 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 6: fit matters. We really thought he'd be great in our system, 540 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 6: kind of his versatility, kind of the things that he 541 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 6: could do. We knew he was a high character guy. 542 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 6: He was tough, he would work, and it's all played 543 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 6: out that way. I mean, he's been everything and more 544 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 6: to be honest to what we thought. He's a team guy, 545 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 6: all about the right things, really tough. He's the first 546 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 6: guy in the gym in fact, he's probably to the point, 547 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 6: like most of the great ones I've ever had, you 548 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 6: kind of have to try to Hey man, you know 549 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 6: what I mean, Like I get the you know, seven 550 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 6: forty five or whatever in the morning, getting up your 551 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 6: shots every day and then coming back and some of 552 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 6: that's what makes you what But I think, you know, 553 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 6: having a plan of how do I you know, maximize 554 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 6: But again, having guys that you have to to scale 555 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 6: back is is what you want because it means so 556 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 6: so much to them. And so it's been really fun 557 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,879 Speaker 6: to watch him and I think you know, fans are 558 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 6: realizing too. He's obviously an exceptional shooter, but he does 559 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 6: a great job, you know, cutting, does a great job, 560 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,959 Speaker 6: you know, getting to the free throw line. He has 561 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 6: a really quick first step, you know, playing off his 562 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 6: shot fake. I think this is really great for his 563 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 6: development too. He's drawing more attention now on the scouting 564 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 6: report than he's ever had in his career, so he's 565 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 6: going to have to continue to to learn how to 566 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 6: play through that. 567 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 2: You know, they're not helping off him. 568 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 6: So how do you become a better screener, you know, 569 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 6: how do you find ways to give your off up 570 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 6: on cuts? Sometimes, you know, for the betterment of the team. 571 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,640 Speaker 6: And so think all those things playing through maybe more 572 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 6: help in a post up or a drive situation than 573 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 6: he's had to in his career. So I think, you know, 574 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 6: as we keep attacking it with him, how do we 575 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 6: continue to help him grow as a as a player. 576 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 2: But yeah, he's been a fun one to be around. 577 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:17,400 Speaker 2: Well it's fun. 578 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,120 Speaker 4: I go back to the North Dakota State game, being 579 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 4: at that game, and you remember the first handful of 580 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 4: minutes nobody was scoring, and then all of a sudden, 581 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 4: it felt like Kate hit like ten shots in a row, 582 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 4: and go, oh, that's how they're going to do it. 583 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:29,200 Speaker 2: Okay, got it. 584 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 4: But guys, we're finding him as well, right, And that 585 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 4: that I thought was the cool thing is that the 586 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 4: guys understood, like, this guy's on a heater, let's let's 587 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 4: find him. And that's sometimes it was a great stretch 588 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 4: there that really just took that game and put it 589 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:42,159 Speaker 4: totally in control. 590 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 6: Yeah, and you know, he hasn't he hasn't looked back, 591 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,920 Speaker 6: you know, as far as that confidence of you know, 592 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 6: being that guy, you know, you miss three shots, you 593 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 6: got to take the fourth one like you made the 594 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 6: first three. You know, that's what's how you have to play, 595 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 6: and I do. I think we have an unselfish group, 596 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 6: you know, guys looking for each other. 597 00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 2: I think it's become harder. 598 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 6: You know, again, as you get scouted, it becomes harder 599 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 6: to get you know, easy shots. It's just going to 600 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,400 Speaker 6: get harder and hard as we get into conference play. 601 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 6: You just have to be more committed than ever right 602 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 6: of trying to get great shots as a team. But yeah, 603 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,440 Speaker 6: he's been He's been really fun to coach, and I 604 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 6: think he's going to continue to get better as the 605 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 6: season goes on. And you know, how is he going 606 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 6: to respond to be in the top of the scouting 607 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,680 Speaker 6: report every night? How is he going to have to 608 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 6: do that playing you know, basically never coming out of 609 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 6: the game, you know, sometimes guarding bigger guys, maybe have 610 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 6: to guard bigger, more bigger guys now just based on 611 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 6: you know, numbers of what we have. But how is 612 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 6: he going to respond to that? He really showed me 613 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 6: he's going to give you everything he has. But that's 614 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,120 Speaker 6: going to be a challenge for him. And that's one 615 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 6: that like I've tried to tell him, is like this 616 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 6: will help you crow as a player and become better 617 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,160 Speaker 6: and better for now obviously, and then I think he's 618 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:45,440 Speaker 6: got a career at the next level. 619 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,399 Speaker 3: Some other guys that have come in, I mean, obviously 620 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:53,439 Speaker 3: most of your team is is our transfers. Bobby Durkin 621 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 3: was a guy you brought in from Davidson Too to 622 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 3: be a shooter. And he was hitting some shots in California. 623 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 3: And when he's hitting shots, that's that's that that is 624 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 3: his purpose. 625 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 6: Right, Yeah, I mean he's a he uh, he's he's 626 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 6: got a toughness about him. He's a shot maker. You know, 627 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,120 Speaker 6: he went through that stretch there a couple of weeks 628 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 6: or man, he could not make one. I felt bad 629 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,159 Speaker 6: for him, but like I just said, listen, ye I 630 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 6: don't care how many you miss. You got to keep shooting. 631 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 2: They're gonna come. He puts in the work and he 632 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:24,959 Speaker 2: just needed to see one go down. And so it's 633 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 2: been fun. 634 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 6: You know, last few games, he's really you know, playing 635 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 6: with a lot more confidence. And yeah, he's just got 636 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:31,920 Speaker 6: to continue to grow. I I think it's been fun 637 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:36,399 Speaker 6: for him to he's taking a step on the defensive end. 638 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,400 Speaker 6: You know, he's got to learn to use his length 639 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,120 Speaker 6: more he's not the quickest guy in the world. He's 640 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 6: gonna have to guard smaller, quicker guys he's got and 641 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 6: I think he's been doing better that way. But one 642 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,119 Speaker 6: thing about Bobby Dirkin, I mean, he's gonna do everything 643 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 6: you ask him to do. You know, if you ask him, Hey, 644 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 6: you know, Dirk, you're gonna have to this is what 645 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:53,920 Speaker 6: you what's got to take place, He's gonna do it 646 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 6: almost to a fault. Sometimes, you know, you almost wish 647 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 6: sometimes you'd have a little bit more, you know, screw off, coach, 648 00:26:58,640 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 6: You know. 649 00:26:58,800 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 2: What I mean, I'm gonna go do it. 650 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,440 Speaker 6: You got to have a little bit of that. Sometimes 651 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 6: you need coachable guys. But there's sometimes you know, you 652 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 6: can't be overthinker. You got to go and play the game. Yeah, 653 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:10,920 Speaker 6: speaking of that, you mentioned his where he went through 654 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:12,680 Speaker 6: that stretch. The team went through a little bit of 655 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 6: a stretch where it was hard to buy a three. 656 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,119 Speaker 6: You guys, when you recruited these guys, you look at 657 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,680 Speaker 6: the career percentages, they were all pretty good shooters. 658 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 3: So as a coach, how do how do you live 659 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:24,440 Speaker 3: with that? It isn't like you went and recruited a 660 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 3: bunch of guys that were shooting eighteen percent at their 661 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,959 Speaker 3: previous stops. So you're missing a bunch of shots as 662 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 3: a team for two or three straight games. 663 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,160 Speaker 6: I think, you know, you go through that. Sometimes those 664 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,159 Speaker 6: are just the ebbs and flows of basketball. I think 665 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 6: the first thing you always look at his shot selection. Okay, 666 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 6: are you taking good shots? And you know, there are 667 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:43,640 Speaker 6: times when it's like, hey, maybe we could have taken 668 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,639 Speaker 6: a better shot than that. You know that we're not 669 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 6: unique to this, but I think I don't know. A 670 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,879 Speaker 6: few games ago, we had a paint touch, you're shooting 671 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,919 Speaker 6: sixty percent. Non paint touch, you're shooting twenty eight percent. Okay, well, 672 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:55,920 Speaker 6: are we taking too many shots where the ball doesn't 673 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 6: touch the paint. But then sometimes if you're taking great 674 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,359 Speaker 6: shots and they're not going in, you just got to 675 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,160 Speaker 6: keep shooting, you know. And when teams are paint collapsing 676 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 6: and and they're and they're and they're you're kicking it 677 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 6: out and you're wide open, you've got to be winning 678 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 6: to shoot the ball. And sometimes you go through a 679 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,399 Speaker 6: little bit of a slump, you can hesitate, you know 680 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 6: what I mean, and you shoot sometimes excuse me, should 681 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 6: I shoot that shot? I guess I'm open, I'm gonna 682 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 6: shoot it, or you start driving it, you know when 683 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:18,920 Speaker 6: you're open, and then you end up getting a worse 684 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 6: shot later in the in the in the shot clocks. 685 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,119 Speaker 6: So it's a combination of all those things. And and uh, 686 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 6: but usually guys go back to the mean, right, whatever 687 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 6: that is, and if they prove that they can make shots, 688 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 6: they're they're gonna make shots. And so hopefully we've hit 689 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 6: a little bit of me, We've shot a little bit 690 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 6: better here when you do the same thing from the 691 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 6: free throw line. And because you know, the margin for 692 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 6: aer shrinks now, right, so you've got to make up 693 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 6: margins any place you can. 694 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 4: Have you picked up speaking of free throws, the baggage 695 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 4: that Minnesota fans have about free throw shot. 696 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 2: Have you picked that? 697 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 1: Yeah? 698 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 2: People, it's like, look, got a Nico. 699 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 4: The guy there is like eighty percent for fifteen years, 700 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 4: the last fifteen years, and now it's happening. 701 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 2: What's going on? 702 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 6: Post traumatic stressing? Them are for this free throws or whatever? 703 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 6: I get it, you know, and you know, and no 704 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 6: I do, but you just got to kick that thing 705 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 6: right in the in the rear. You can't, you know, 706 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 6: the worst thing I could do is pay attention to that, 707 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 6: to be honest. You know, listen, there's guys that have 708 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,240 Speaker 6: to continue to work at free throw shooting. There's guys 709 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 6: who are really good free throw shooters. But it's a balance. 710 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 6: Everybody's different, every team's different. Guys do practice free throws. 711 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 6: Some guys maybe need to have a better routine. We 712 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 6: do pressure free throws in practice. But it's been weird 713 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 6: this year. There's been some games where we've shot it 714 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 6: great from the free throw line. It almost seems like 715 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 6: it's one or the other, and it's been we've been great, 716 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 6: or we've just kind of gone off the deep end 717 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 6: in a couple of these games, and a few of 718 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 6: them really hurt us, obviously. You know, the Stanford game 719 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 6: I thought was right there. You know, the San Francisco 720 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,640 Speaker 6: game was right there. I thought for the taken and clearly, 721 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 6: you know, we miss too many front ends of one 722 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 6: on ones. 723 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 2: Those things kill you. 724 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 6: You know, you run a good possession, you get fouled 725 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 6: in a close game, miss the front end and they 726 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 6: go down and score. Those are huge swing plays and 727 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 6: players know that. So you've got to cash in on 728 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 6: those opportunities. 729 00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 4: It is funny because fans wonder, well, are they practicing 730 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 4: free throws? 731 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, every pressure free throws. 732 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 4: At the end of practice, everybody's running, if or not 733 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,240 Speaker 4: got speakers, like they've they've considered it. 734 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 2: The coaches is considered free throws. 735 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 6: We do, and I think sometimes you know, I talked 736 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 6: to a great coach who's a mentor of mine too, 737 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 6: and he's like, you know, an ECO, go through that 738 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 6: and warn team whatever, it's struggle a little bit from 739 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 6: the free throwing. 740 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 2: You know what I tell my guys about free throws. 741 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 2: He's like, nothing, you know what I mean, Like, listen, 742 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 2: the players are self aware. Hey, A'll no, you know 743 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 2: what I mean. 744 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 6: Like like, and sometimes you make a bigger deal out 745 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 6: of it. It just makes you even tighter total ow. 746 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 6: And so you just got to get your routine and 747 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:36,720 Speaker 6: got to do your deal and and and it is 748 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 6: what it is. And again certain guys maybe you have 749 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 6: certain things they have to work on more. But but 750 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 6: but you know that that's where we're at, and hopefully 751 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 6: it's something that will continue to get better at and 752 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 6: we trend more towards the games that we've shot it. 753 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 3: Well, you mentioned shot selections, So I'm curious philosophically, what 754 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 3: your view is of a wide open three by people 755 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 3: that you think can shoot him? Do you want that 756 00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 3: to even if it's five seconds into the possession If 757 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 3: a guy is all alone and it's a guy that 758 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 3: can shoot threes, are you are you saying fire that 759 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 3: thing or do you want to move the ball some more? 760 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 6: If Caid Tyson's wide open one second into the shot 761 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,479 Speaker 6: clock and he doesn't shoot it, that's a problem for us, 762 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 6: you know what I mean? No, I mean a wide 763 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 6: open three for anyone who can shoot it, you know, 764 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 6: even at a mid thirties percent, you know, should take 765 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 6: that shot every time. I mean, I you know again 766 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 6: analytics one oh one. Right, if a guy, if you're 767 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 6: a forty say you're a forty percent three point shooter, 768 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:29,719 Speaker 6: and you shoot it from behind the line, okay, that's 769 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 6: one point two points at possession right, shot inside just 770 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,480 Speaker 6: three feet inside along too with the same shooters point 771 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:37,719 Speaker 6: eight points of possession right. 772 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 2: You know, So threes open threes are are huge, right, 773 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 2: And that's. 774 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:43,960 Speaker 6: Why you know, the NBA has probably almost gone too 775 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:45,640 Speaker 6: far in my opinion a little bit. You know, the 776 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 6: animal we got to get up this many threes. I 777 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 6: just think to get I got to get up good shots. Still, 778 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 6: the highest valued shot is still we call him rack 779 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 6: zone two shots at the rim, you know, getting filed 780 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 6: doing that. 781 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:58,640 Speaker 3: But open threes are like gold. Yeah, and if guys 782 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 3: that have good percentage can can are open. And I 783 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 3: think you're getting in your offense a lot of open threes, 784 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:05,760 Speaker 3: which is nice. 785 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:06,240 Speaker 2: See we do. 786 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 6: I mean there's sometimes I think guys are maybe a 787 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,600 Speaker 6: little bit you know, ill advised, or maybe take them 788 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 6: without a paint touch a little bit too early. 789 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 2: And again it's a it's a gray area thing. 790 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 11: You know. 791 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 6: You can't be over there overthinking every possession, and you 792 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 6: gotta be talking about good shots, great shots. And I 793 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 6: always tell you guys, my job is to not teach 794 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 6: them what to do. It's teach them how to think, 795 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 6: you know. And I try to don't say, don't you know, 796 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 6: don't take that shot, Hey, maybe what could have been 797 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 6: a better one, you know, and try to teach him 798 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 6: how to how to think that way. But yeah, I 799 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 6: think we've been been getting good shots. And you know, yeah, 800 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:39,800 Speaker 6: you got to it's a pretty simple game. You know, 801 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 6: you got to make shots. This team we're going to 802 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,160 Speaker 6: play tomorrow night.

You grew up in Minnesota, and 834 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:03,920 Speaker 4: you went to the University of Minnesota. So I just 835 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:05,800 Speaker 4: want to get that cleared up in case anybody had 836 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:06,800 Speaker 4: any confusion about that. 837 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 2: But I'm curious. 838 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:12,000 Speaker 4: I remember when I was here twenty ish years ago, 839 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:16,200 Speaker 4: maybe thirty, how much the campus has changed? How much 840 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,359 Speaker 4: has it changed from when you were here ninety two 841 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 4: to ninety six right around there, right, So it has 842 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:23,560 Speaker 4: to be unrecognizable in some ways. 843 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,239 Speaker 2: It does. It's funny you say that. 844 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:25,920 Speaker 4: So I'm in this. 845 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:28,359 Speaker 2: This is my first time in this BW three. 846 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,800 Speaker 6: This used to be Station nineteen, sure did, yeah, okay, 847 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:35,160 Speaker 6: Station nineteen. That was the hangout for better or worse, 848 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,120 Speaker 6: you know what I mean? This was the hangout. And 849 00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:40,400 Speaker 6: so I'm I'm looking everybody nodding. Everyone is bad that, 850 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,920 Speaker 6: you know. I'm looking around this place and there used 851 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,359 Speaker 6: to be like a little I think upstairs thing here 852 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,239 Speaker 6: and whatever. So this in and of itself where we're 853 00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 6: saying it has changed dramatically from what I've hear. The 854 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 6: barn hasn't changed at all. Right, it's the same as 855 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,200 Speaker 6: I remember it, for better or worse. Yeah, I'll clumb 856 00:34:56,280 --> 00:35:00,360 Speaker 6: Haskin's desk. The thing there is still a landline phone, 857 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:04,279 Speaker 6: okay in the desk on there. We actually dialed the 858 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,960 Speaker 6: number when it first got there. It still rings, you 859 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 6: know what I mean, that's number, yes, I think so, yeah, 860 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,560 Speaker 6: it's the bat phone, you know, or whatever if we 861 00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,880 Speaker 6: if we need it. So that hasn't changed. On campus 862 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,080 Speaker 6: has I mean the biggest thing that's changed. I mean 863 00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:18,280 Speaker 6: that the athletes village. 864 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:19,080 Speaker 14: It is. 865 00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:21,759 Speaker 6: It's tremendous. I mean that the facility we get to 866 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:25,320 Speaker 6: be in every day is just spectacular. For our guys, 867 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 6: for our coaches. Boy, they did a phenomenal job. You know, 868 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,799 Speaker 6: give Mark and his team credit for you know, they 869 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:33,800 Speaker 6: really had the vision of doing that and whoever that 870 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,520 Speaker 6: started and raising the money, they really did it first class. 871 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:38,960 Speaker 2: So that part has changed dramatically. 872 00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,320 Speaker 6: Where our players live, you know, across the street, and 873 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,000 Speaker 6: now they've even got new housing that continues to go 874 00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,359 Speaker 6: up that our guys are are are living in. It's 875 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:50,919 Speaker 6: just everything is first class that way, you know, walking 876 00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,160 Speaker 6: on the mall of campus and around there, a lot 877 00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,920 Speaker 6: of that is is similar to what it was. But 878 00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,360 Speaker 6: you know, you you do remember my wife comment in 879 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,520 Speaker 6: this too, and she ben here before. We are in 880 00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:05,239 Speaker 6: a city. But really the campus is really nice. You know, 881 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,759 Speaker 6: when you get on campus, you really feel like in 882 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,880 Speaker 6: this metropolitanary, like you really are on a college campus. 883 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,239 Speaker 6: So some things have really changed, but some things are 884 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,279 Speaker 6: the same, and I think all the changes that I've 885 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:16,719 Speaker 6: seen are further better. 886 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:20,120 Speaker 4: You mentioned the living situation. What was your living situation 887 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 4: like in college? Where did the team live? And I 888 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:24,120 Speaker 4: know you roomed with a couple of the guys on 889 00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:26,799 Speaker 4: her so what was it like? Probably not as nice 890 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:28,839 Speaker 4: as the as the apartments that I see across from 891 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:29,880 Speaker 4: Athletes Village. 892 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,160 Speaker 2: Oh man. They were kind of all over the place. 893 00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:35,640 Speaker 6: Six sixteen tenth Avenue Southeast, right down there down the 894 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:40,520 Speaker 6: street from Evan Scholars was the apartment. Chad Colander was 895 00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:44,479 Speaker 6: my roommate for for several years Watana Zone. 896 00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,439 Speaker 2: We had a lot of fun there. 897 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:51,239 Speaker 6: All those guys, you know, remember how many times you 898 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,600 Speaker 6: know Trevor and Heidi Winter. Now we're over at our 899 00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:56,560 Speaker 6: place and it's hard to see him playing for the 900 00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:58,000 Speaker 6: Badgers right now. 901 00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:00,319 Speaker 4: We don't talk about We don't talk about that. Yeah, 902 00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:02,000 Speaker 4: you can still be friends with them if you want. 903 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,280 Speaker 4: We used to text a lot. Yeah, it's not happening anymore. 904 00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:07,800 Speaker 2: That's fine if that's what he wants to do. 905 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:11,399 Speaker 4: Yeah, let's have their own thoughts and feelings. That's fine. 906 00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:12,399 Speaker 4: I'm not going to do it that way. 907 00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:12,880 Speaker 3: But whatever. 908 00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:14,880 Speaker 6: They kind of lived all over the place though it 909 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:16,800 Speaker 6: was kind of spread out. It was different, but not 910 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:20,520 Speaker 6: nearly what these guys have now. I mean, the furnished apartments, 911 00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:23,120 Speaker 6: everything's there. It's literally across the street. I mean, the 912 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,239 Speaker 6: amenities that these guys have is just unbelievable, really really 913 00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:26,800 Speaker 6: first class. 914 00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,879 Speaker 4: Is there a place that you wish was still here 915 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,960 Speaker 4: on campus, like a restaurant or a store or something 916 00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,440 Speaker 4: that from the nineties that maybe we wouldn't know about 917 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:36,520 Speaker 4: or remember. 918 00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:39,520 Speaker 2: The subs at the Big Ten. Oh yeah, that's a 919 00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:41,520 Speaker 2: great answer, do you know, I mean. 920 00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:44,160 Speaker 6: I for whatever reason, I you know, at that place, 921 00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:47,600 Speaker 6: Sallies is still here. It's a new Sallies yeah, it's okay. 922 00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:48,400 Speaker 2: I remember that. 923 00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:50,360 Speaker 6: I haven't been back to Stubborn Herbs yet. But the 924 00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:53,000 Speaker 6: Big ten, So that was a that was a classic. 925 00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,000 Speaker 6: You're walking back from class and you wanted to get 926 00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:56,759 Speaker 6: one of those. You just went with the whole big 927 00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:58,239 Speaker 6: so good. Wasn't it good? 928 00:37:58,560 --> 00:37:58,719 Speaker 12: You know? 929 00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,040 Speaker 6: And so I don't that something that you know, I 930 00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:02,520 Speaker 6: haven't had it every once in a while. It'd be 931 00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:03,120 Speaker 6: kind of cool to. 932 00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,800 Speaker 4: Go over what would your order be? Because did you 933 00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,360 Speaker 4: rotate sandwiches or were you one sandwich? So this is 934 00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,120 Speaker 4: what the long contested too is. I mean, this is 935 00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:13,799 Speaker 4: the hard you got to learn more about Nico. You're 936 00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:15,800 Speaker 4: putting me on the spot. But it was the turkey 937 00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:17,800 Speaker 4: and you had like kind of the mayo and the 938 00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,239 Speaker 4: vinegar right and the thing. And I can't remember that 939 00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,200 Speaker 4: the whole was it a foot or was it even 940 00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:24,000 Speaker 4: better than a foot? 941 00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:24,359 Speaker 18: The whole? 942 00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:26,799 Speaker 4: I'm not sure. I don't remember because we had one 943 00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,319 Speaker 4: in Hopkins for a really really somebody is still trying 944 00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,720 Speaker 4: to make them well. So this is way in the weeds. 945 00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:33,719 Speaker 4: And thanks again to Buffalo Wild Wings for hostings for 946 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,360 Speaker 4: the show every week. But Hopkins used to have a 947 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:38,640 Speaker 4: Big ten and then the owners split up. It's a 948 00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,240 Speaker 4: new place now. But because of the set the subs, 949 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,719 Speaker 4: everybody loves them. They brought them back during COVID for 950 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,040 Speaker 4: a brief time, and now they're trying to bring them 951 00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:49,359 Speaker 4: back again. So it's still the vision of the sub 952 00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,080 Speaker 4: is still living on in downtown Hopkins, but it's not 953 00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:53,440 Speaker 4: something totally consistent. 954 00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:54,960 Speaker 2: I'd be careful though. I want to say that. 955 00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:56,600 Speaker 6: You know that the wings at BW three are pretty 956 00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,279 Speaker 6: good here too, right, you know, and we're every time like, yeah, 957 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,399 Speaker 6: we're gonna have them every every Tuesday. So yeah, there's 958 00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,560 Speaker 6: no Big ten down here anymore. No Big ten, No 959 00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:06,279 Speaker 6: Station nineteen, no Station nineteen. That's probably better for me. 960 00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:08,879 Speaker 4: Yeah, people could come, as the story goes. You could 961 00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:10,960 Speaker 4: come here during like halftime, an intermission. Back in the 962 00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:13,360 Speaker 4: day when they played hockey Mariucchi like, you got a 963 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,279 Speaker 4: little ticket, you came here, and I'm sure that went well. 964 00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:17,680 Speaker 2: There's no issues with that. I know what else has changed. 965 00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 2: That's good. 966 00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:20,359 Speaker 6: When I first went to college here, I guess when 967 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,920 Speaker 6: it came back. You know, the old Maryuchi was connected, right, 968 00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:24,960 Speaker 6: So I'll tell you what Some of those times you 969 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,680 Speaker 6: would go down in the Hallway and this oh the smell. 970 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:31,920 Speaker 6: Oh man, the pads from the old hockey that was tough. 971 00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:34,839 Speaker 6: So what they've done now and having their own little 972 00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,120 Speaker 6: area over there is a lot better for everybody. 973 00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:40,759 Speaker 2: Yeah that makes sense. Yeah, yeah, anything else, I mean 974 00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:42,399 Speaker 2: that was like three or four. That was nice. 975 00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:44,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, that was that was That was excellent, good where 976 00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:46,279 Speaker 3: we waited a long time for it, and I think 977 00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,319 Speaker 3: you hit it now.
