1
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: It is to goat to Cup, but he presented by

2
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 1: FanDuel and the FanDuel sportsbook, Phil Martelly.

3
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:13,159
Speaker 2: Junior is going to join us.

4
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 1: The VCU head coach. I did not do this to punish.

5
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 2: Taylor mike Ya. I did it so Taylor.

6
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: Can thank the VCU coach because he doesn't like Ubert Davis.

7
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 2: I mean about that.

8
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: VCU comes back on the first day of March, and yes,

9
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: yesterday was the first day of March.

10
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 2: I don't care what anyone tells me. I put it

11
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 2: on the pole.

12
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: Taylor was yesterday, the first day of March. Bob, Caroline

13
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: is up nineteen in that game. I am laughing at

14
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 1: Taylor because he's been blasting Ubert Davis, and I'm thinking

15
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: Ubert Davis is going to take this target team on

16
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 1: a run through the NCAA tournament. But not so fast,

17
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: my friends, Taylor put us there. What was going on

18
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: with you?

19
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 3: So everybody is doing this victory lap when Caroline is

20
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 3: up nineteen points at halftime, and I say, hey, guys,

21
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 3: buck Lynn, because I've watched this Carolina team, I know

22
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 3: what's about to come right. VCU starts Klawn Back, starts

23
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 3: Klawn back and I'm like, okay, this is this is

24
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 3: just a predictable ending now, and I'm watching this game

25
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 3: in the final seven forty four of game time, in

26
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 3: a game that went to overtime, yep, Carolina did not

27
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 3: make a single field goal. No, they did not make

28
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 3: a single field goal. They scored only three points in overtime.

29
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 3: And people are coming today and saying, oh, well, Hubert

30
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 3: Davis has to get another year because he didn't have

31
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 3: Caleb Wilson. We need a top five pick as North

32
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 3: Carolina to beat a school from the A ten.

33
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 2: Apparently you do.

34
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: Yes, Yeah, Wait a minute, So are you going to

35
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: thank Phil Martelli Junior, as dad was a legendary coach

36
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: I know is dead very very well.

37
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 2: Are you going to.

38
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: Thank him for knocking off the North Carolina and Ubert Davis?

39
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 2: Are you upset with him? So it's conflicted.

40
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 3: I'm upset because I want North Carolina to win, but

41
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 3: I also I'm not entirely sure that like this is

42
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 3: the move that's gonna get North Carolina off Hubert Davis.

43
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 3: It kind of seems like they've dug their heels and

44
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 3: giving Hubert Davis more time. But at the same time,

45
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 3: you're watching this and being like, how much more time

46
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 3: do you need?

47
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 2: This was a big body blow.

48
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 4: This was a battle you have to lose in order

49
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 4: to lose the war or win the war. But it

50
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 4: wasn't only that North Carolina loss, because I mean that's bad.

51
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,679
Speaker 4: You know, it's a big upset. That was some of

52
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 4: the ugliest basketball I've ever watched in my life. I mean,

53
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 4: there wasn't a score in the first like three and

54
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 4: a half minutes of overtime where everything is like so

55
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 4: compounded and nobody could score.

56
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 2: March so stupe.

57
00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 3: The nineteen points. It's the largest comeback ever in the

58
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 3: first round of the NCAA tournament. And then this is

59
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 3: this is where Hubert Davis needs to get up in

60
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,399
Speaker 3: his postgame press conference and to say, hand up, I'll

61
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 3: take accountability. This was a bad performance, the problem and

62
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 3: why my frustration has grown with Hubert Davis.

63
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 2: He refuses to do that.

64
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 3: Ask what went wrong for North Carolina in the second

65
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 3: half against VCU, Hubert Davis said, what do you mean?

66
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 2: Shots just didn't fall?

67
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 1: It's a maker, miss league Taylor. I mean, you're falling

68
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: in the first half of it.

69
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 3: Just because you miss a shot doesn't mean something is wrong.

70
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: Right, people were criticizing all of them, right, every shot,

71
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: put it on the poll. If you miss every shot

72
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: is something off. How about people criticizing Hubert Davis and

73
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: the Carolina team for not being in good enough shape?

74
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:56,839
Speaker 5: Yeah?

75
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 2: See that?

76
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, VCU ran a side of the gym.

77
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 2: They did. My problem. My problem.

78
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: Listen, a Martelli led team, they can run, they can

79
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: play for days.

80
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 2: I am telling you I know the Martelli's.

81
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: The Martelli's will go out on a concrete basketball court

82
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: and they will play you and fight you to the death. Okay,

83
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: that team is in shape, I promise you.

84
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 3: My bigger problem with Hubert Davis is just STU, Where

85
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,799
Speaker 3: would you consider the North Carolina job in the landscape

86
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 3: of college basketball?

87
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 2: Top five job, top five easily.

88
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 3: And Hubert Davis if every coach suddenly became available in

89
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 3: a weird world where every coach's contract got erased, I

90
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 3: don't think a single school in the top forty would

91
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 3: even give Hubert Davis a call.

92
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 2: Put it on the ball.

93
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 1: Would VC you give Hubert Davis an opening head coaching job?

94
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 2: They have their guy.

95
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 3: And then the other defense. Oh, Hubert Davis made a

96
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 3: Final four in twenty twenty two. Look at some of

97
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 3: the teams that have made final fource since twenty twenty two.

98
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jim Laernega, who.

99
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 3: Just basically quit Miami, was like, I'm not the guy

100
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 3: for this job anymore.

101
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 2: Right.

102
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 3: Kevin Keats from NC State, who even n C State

103
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 3: was like, hey, Kevin Keats, thanks, thanks for making that

104
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 3: Final four for us, but you're kind of not that

105
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 3: good of a coach.

106
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 2: We have to find somebody new.

107
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 3: But no, Hubert Davis, he's untouchable as a Carolina guy.

108
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 1: You said yesterday you were preparing yourself for the loss

109
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: of ECU.

110
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 2: It seems like you prepared yourself well.

111
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 3: I mean, it was so predictable. I didn't even let

112
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 3: myself get excited. When they were up nineteen. People are

113
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 3: texting me, Oh, Carolina ninety eight point seven win probability.

114
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,679
Speaker 3: I'm like, you want to see one point three percent

115
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 3: right now?

116
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: You're about to Yeah, Taylor knows when you have Yubert

117
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: Davis up to nineteen in the second.

118
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 2: Half, you have them right where you want them.

119
00:05:54,880 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 1: I mean, is that essentially what you're saying. Yeah, they

120
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: were up nineteen, Taylor nineteen points against the team from

121
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: the A dead.

122
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 2: This is part of a bigger problem.

123
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 4: When like Hubert Davis is a North Carolina guy, you

124
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 4: shouldn't hire guys that were like great for your school

125
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 4: or your program before, because it makes it that much

126
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 4: harder to get rid of them. You should only hire

127
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 4: people from your rival. This way, you're like, no, I'll

128
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 4: easily fire that guy.

129
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 2: Right, hire a Duke guy?

130
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: Yes, like Duke right, Penny orway essentially right, ridd my guy?

131
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 2: How easy is it is to fire him? Today?

132
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 4: You lost and you went to Duke get out?

133
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 1: But do you know how badly Carolina fans would revolt

134
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: at the notion of them signing a Duke guy to

135
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: be their head coach.

136
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 2: They would like it? Am I wrong?

137
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 5: Taylor?

138
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 3: No, it would never have to get to that. But

139
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 3: we don't have to keep hiring people in the family

140
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 3: like right now. When I say Hubert David needs to

141
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 3: be replaced, the first question is always, well, who are

142
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 3: you going to replace them with?

143
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 2: Top that job? There's whatever you want, whoever you want.

144
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 2: It's the top five job. I mean, Patina would leave

145
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 2: for it.

146
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 3: There are about twenty head coaches in college basketball that

147
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 3: would have to tell me no before I even start

148
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 3: to panic. Before I even have some doubt in my mind,

149
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 3: and I see some Carolina fans who, again, the family

150
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 3: hires have been a problem for Carolina in the past,

151
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 3: and it's again a problem where I'm seeing people saying like, oh,

152
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,559
Speaker 3: if you get rid of Hubert Davis, why not hire

153
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,679
Speaker 3: Wes Miller who played at Carolina and just got fired

154
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 3: from Cincinnati, or hired Jerry Stackhouse who got fired from Vanderbilt.

155
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 3: I'm like, guys, everybody, take a deep breath right now, right, yeah,

156
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 3: and remember how we got here.

157
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: M hm, yes, yeah, with Dean Yeah, Roy Williams. There

158
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: are listen, it's a top five job, and there are

159
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: guys who are coaching right now, big names. You're right, Taylor,

160
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: if you opened that job up to just about anyone,

161
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: the resumes that are going to come across your desk

162
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: to be the next next head coach at the University

163
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: of North Carolina, a storied program of blue blood I

164
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: mean they are It would be absurd the amount of

165
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: interest that that job would Gardner, Hell, they opened up

166
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: their football job at Belichick came there.

167
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 2: I mean that. Yeah that was a disaster too, Yeah

168
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 2: it was.

169
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: But I'm serious, Like, guys like I'm not certain Danny

170
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: Hurley would sit down with his agent and at least contemplation,

171
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: I leave Yukon for North Carolina. Seriously, that's how big

172
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: of a job it is. I mean, Mike, you are

173
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: you disagreeing?

174
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 2: No?

175
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 4: I mean he didn't take the Lakers job, so I

176
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 4: have a hard time thinking.

177
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 2: And he's going to go to North Carolina. Wants to

178
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 2: coach Luca.

179
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, Lebron, they're so good now. Coach of

180
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: the Year, Lebron James. I'll put it on then put

181
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: it on the Bowl handler should Lebron James be the

182
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,439
Speaker 1: NBA Coach of the Year, Lebron would consider Carolina. NBA

183
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: coaches would consider Carolina. I'm just telling you, like Rick

184
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,839
Speaker 1: Patino slam dunk, if you're like, hey, the job is

185
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: open to anyone, anyone, come get it. Rick Patina would

186
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: leave Saint John so quickly if he knew that North

187
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: Carolina was going to hire.

188
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 2: Him to be the next head coach.

189
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: Taylor, you agree with that, right, It's just a bigger

190
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: and better job.

191
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

192
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 3: And you know you can't spell coach Cow without Carolina.

193
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 2: Steve Belichick.

194
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: Maybe Cow would definitely leave Arkansas Steve, It's why you

195
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: were still there.

196
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 2: It's the unknown part of Bill's contract.

197
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: If the basketball coach gets fired, Steve is his replacements.

198
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Taylor, I'm sorry, but I'm not because

199
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: this is it's what's best.

200
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 2: For the ship.

201
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 3: The part that makes it a compounding problem, too, is

202
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 3: that Duke is lapping North Carolina right now, like Stu.

203
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 2: I don't know if you watched.

204
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 3: The uh A couple of a couple of days ago

205
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 3: when they were in the A Tournament, when North Carolina

206
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 3: lost to Clemson, they had a look aheadline. If North

207
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 3: Carolina played Duke in the semi finals of the ACC Tournament,

208
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 3: Duke would have been an eighteen and a half point

209
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 3: favorite over North Carolina.

210
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: Jesus, they're supposed to be equals.

211
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 3: Just for context, I think Miami of Ohio is an

212
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 3: eleven and a half point underdog today against Tennessee. So

213
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 3: Caroline's almost double that against Duke on a neutral court.

214
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: Unbelievable. Yesterday is what March was all about. I mean, listen,

215
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out if it was a good

216
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: day or a bad day for you. I guess it's

217
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: a bad day. You lost, and you know your coach

218
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: is coming back again. The coach that you don't want

219
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: coaching your team is still going to be back for

220
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: another year. But man, was that a great opening day

221
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 1: of the NCAA tournament.

222
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 2: That's what it's all about. It's why we love it.

223
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 2: It's why we.

224
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: Don't pay attention to the entire regular season and start

225
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: paying attention in March.

226
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 2: I mean, single elimination, nothing like it. Let's get to the.

227
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: Polls before we get to Phil Moore, Telly Junior. No

228

Speaker 1: radio today, We're just doing the pods. We will have

229
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: Robert Parrish the chief later on. I'm excited for that

230
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 1: and Bill Barnwell. But since we're not going to be

231
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: on radio and not going to have the ability to

232

Speaker 1: update the polls live, we will do it here on

233
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: the pod.

234
00:11:58,080 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 2: So Taylor take it away.

235
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 3: Should the MLB replace its regular season with more World

236
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 3: Baseball Classic?

237
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,040

00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 3: Ninety percent of the audience said, no, we're not making

321
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 3: batting cages like we used to. If you went to

322
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 3: USA's clubhouse at Lone Depot Park right now, when you

323
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 3: find all those silver.

324
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: Medals just sitting there in a little bott on the corner.

325
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 4: If I could name a Marlin's player, I'd say one

326
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 4: is in his locker, but I can't.

327
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 2: Jeff Conine's still there, Ahn, mister Marlin.

328
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 3: Eighty one percent of the audience said yes. This one

329
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 3: comes also courtesy of Salacato when he was talking about

330
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 3: how bad Mark de Rosa's interview was with the Mets.

331
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 3: When you say I don't want to rip the guy,

332
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 3: does that mean you're just about to rip the guy?

333
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 2: Yes, he did. He said I don't want to rip

334
00:16:58,720 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 2: the guy.

335
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: I said, yeah, but you're about ripped the guy, and

336
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: he ripped the guy.

337
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 2: Of course. That's undred percent right.

338
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 3: As close as we've come this week. Ninety seven percent

339
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 3: of the audience said yes, all.

340
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:12,640
Speaker 2: Right, we'll take it. That's consensus.

341
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 3: And then the final poll question this week, if you

342
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 3: put Austin Reeves on a sixteen seed, now, would they

343
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 3: win the NCAA Tournament. This one comes courtesy of think

344
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 3: about It Thursday.

345
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, that segment that you created that you're very

346
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 1: proud of because you're counter programming a national show with

347
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 1: a local show down here on five sixty in Miami.

348
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 2: Yes, this one is close.

349
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 3: I think Austin Reeves was the perfect person to get

350
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 3: a litmus test on Yes, fifty four percent of the

351
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,679
Speaker 3: audience said yes, Austin Reeves would be cutting down.

352
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: Netso really, I mean, Jesus, have they seen VCU?

353
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 2: Those are the false.

354
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: Bill Martelly Junior, the head coach of VCU, will join

355
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: us coming up next. It was an upset for the

356
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: Agies yesterday. It was in large bar because Taylor, our

357
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 1: executive producer, went to North Carolina. Carolina was up nineteen,

358
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: but VCU came storming back in. They advance in the

359
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 1: NCAA tournament, and their coach nice enough to join us.

360
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: Phil Mortelly Junior. I have known his dad for a

361
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: very long time. I'm super happy for this family. I

362
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: told him right before we started. After you beat Carolina,

363
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: you should get out of the NBC.

364
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 2: Suites and get into a four seasons hotel. Good morning

365
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 2: to your coach.

366
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 6: Yeah we're still here. Well, we stick to our roots.

367
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 6: You know, we're still at that EMBSC suites. But it's

368
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 6: been good to us.

369
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 5: Watch.

370
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 6: I'm a you know, I come from places like Bryant,

371
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 6: where I was like, what's the cheapest rate? Okay, yeah,

372
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 6: you're staying at that place, Like I don't know if

373
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 6: we can stay here, and.

374
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 5: Like, no, that's keep his right to your thing.

375
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:01,919
Speaker 2: Yeah I do.

376
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 6: I do, see Taylor give me that evil eye, like

377
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 6: this freaking guy right, Like, I keep seeing that.

378
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 5: It is a little distracting, but.

379
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 2: It's fair Carolina helmet right beyond you.

380
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, said it was a great upset. I am

381
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 3: upset today. I called the a D and I said,

382
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 3: I want Martelly next season at Carolina.

383
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,959
Speaker 1: That's making Martelly's happy where he is.

384
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 5: He's very happy where I am.

385
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 6: I'm at a great place, a great university, right, you know,

386
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 6: that's that's that's it. I would like to have to

387
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 6: sit down with Belichick though, I would like to sit

388
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,679
Speaker 6: there and pick his brain, you know, because obviously the

389
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,959
Speaker 6: amount of games that guy's won. But yes, I'm at

390
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 6: a great place. Carolina is a great university, obviously a

391
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 6: great program. But I am very fortunate to be at VCU.

392
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 6: It is an incredible university and with great leadership. So

393
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 6: I'm thankful to all of them.

394
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: If Taylor was being honest, he would tell you, Belichick

395
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 1: about you.

396
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 2: Win some of those games at North Carolina.

397
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, I get that, I understand that.

398
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: I understand mikey A had a great idea if you win,

399
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: if you beat North Carolina and your VCU, you should

400
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 1: get to take their hotel rooms.

401
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 2: How about that.

402
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 5: Offered some awkward encounters.

403
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 6: I think one team's getting off the bus with their bags,

404
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 6: the others getting.

405
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 5: On with their bags.

406
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 6: Yes, I don't know where they stayed. They must have

407
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 6: been right down here. I'll tell you this. I like Greenville,

408
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,640
Speaker 6: South Carolina. What a great place, great little city, great

409
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 6: little town. You know, we're right downtown here. It's a

410
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 6: good spot. It's a good spot.

411
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: It's a very nice spot. Underrated spot. Yes, what do

412
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: you tell your kids? I'm wondering when you're down nineteen

413
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 1: first round of the NCAA Tournament, is there a moment?

414
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 2: What do you say to your kids?

415
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,959
Speaker 1: How do you keep them going and moving forward and

416
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: inspiring a comeback like the one they had last night.

417
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 6: Well, they've been really resilient from the get go, and

418
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 6: the story I keep telling is our second game of

419
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 6: the year. We played Utah State. Utah State's in an

420
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 6: eight nine game today. Really good team. They had done

421
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 6: what we did, you know, what we wanted to do.

422
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 5: Last year.

423
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 6: They had a new coach, won a million games, went

424
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 6: to the nca tournament. They had a group that came back,

425
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 6: so they were going to be really good. So the

426
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 6: second game of the year, it was a Friday night,

427
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 6: that first Friday in November, November seventh. I think maybe

428
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 6: we went and played them on the neutral floor in Texas,

429
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 6: and same type of deal. We went down early in

430
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 6: the second half. We got down seventeen, maybe even a

431
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 6: little bit later. It might have been like with ten

432
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 6: or eleven minutes left, and we stormed all the way back,

433
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 6: tied the game, had a chance to win.

434
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 5: They wanted on the last possession, and obviously disappointed to lose.

435
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 6: But I walked out and I was like, man, this

436
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 6: group's got something, and you know, we battle We tested

437
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 6: ourselves all the way through. We were battle tested from

438
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,880
Speaker 6: the get go, and you know, played a really tough

439
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 6: non conference to be able to win these types of games.

440
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 6: We had that happen in a couple of times throughout

441
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 6: the season where like we got down and there was

442
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 6: never a oh my god, what's going to happen?

443
00:21:58,119 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 5: Especially the second game of the year. Right, it's easy

444
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 5: to go like, all right, new coach, like what's he doing?

445
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 6: And he didn't play me, I didn't play not if

446
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 6: this guy did that guy whatever, And they never did that.

447
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 5: And it was the same last night. You could feel it.

448
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 6: They were just like, we just needed to make the

449
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 6: next play, you know, whether it was offensive defense, just

450
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 6: make the next play, you know, and just let it

451
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 6: snowball from there.

452
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 2: Is there a point in that game where you don't.

453
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 1: Say it outwardly, but are you thinking, man, this is

454
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: how the season's going to end? Or can a head

455
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: coach nothing like that at any moment of any game?

456
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 5: Yeah? I really didn't think like that.

457
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 6: I just I kept thinking, like, what's the what haven't

458
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 6: we tried that we can we can go to We

459
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 6: went to our three smaller guards, you know, our wings

460
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 6: were they were battling the defensive end, but couldn't get

461
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 6: anything going on the offensive end.

462
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:42,199
Speaker 5: You know.

463
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 6: We went to the three smaller guards just to give

464
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,120
Speaker 6: them a different look and see if that was something

465
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 6: that would kind of shake things up, and it did.

466
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 6: You know, I was worried about our rebounding, but those

467
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 6: guys were in there a rebound and then once they rebounded,

468
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 6: we were able to get out and play in the

469
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 6: open floor, which is where we're really good. So yeah,

470
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 6: it was always just like, all right, what else can

471
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 6: we do? Can do we try something different, Try something

472
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,479
Speaker 6: different defensively, try something different on offense, a different lineup.

473
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 5: It really was just that all the way through.

474
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 2: Coach is a former broadcasting student.

475
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,000

490
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 6: I'm like you, like, where are you guys staying tonight?

491
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,440

492
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,120
Speaker 6: they did have a place to stay. I mean they've

493
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,360
Speaker 6: flown out the different places again on their own dime.

494
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 6: You know, they are doing it on their own dome.

495
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:01,880

498
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 6: practices covering our guys writing stories. So I'm really happy

499
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 6: that they get to experience this and be part of this.

500
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 6: And you know, somebody somewhere, whether it's radio, whether it's TV,

501
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 6: whether it's thinkers, whatever, they're going to hire those kids

502
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 6: and they're going to be really thankful they did, because

503
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 6: they are they are thoughtful, they are genuine.

504
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 5: Uh, they are thorough with.

505
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 6: What they do and I'm really grateful for what they

506
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 6: do for us.

507
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: Tonight they should say in Youbert Davis's room, how about that?

508
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 2: I mean I did say he did say that he

509
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:39,679
Speaker 2: wasn't even thinking it. That was me. It was my

510
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 2: dumb joke. Yes, no, not you.

511
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: You are a humble advancer and c double a jornament.

512
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 1: I am wondering here as the as the son of

513
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 1: a legendary coach when you were born at Phil Martelly

514
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 1: is his name. But when you're born and you get

515
00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:00,239
Speaker 1: to a certain age and realize I'm Phil Martelly junior, Like,

516
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 1: what age did you know you were going to be

517
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 1: a head coach because of the name and the heritage

518
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: and and because of what your dad did well?

519
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 6: When I was in uh, probably somewhere around seventh grade,

520
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 6: you know, like anybody, I wanted to I wanted to

521
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 6: play in the NBA, right, So I wanted to play

522
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,439
Speaker 6: in the NBA. Got to seventh grade, you start looking around.

523
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 6: I'm like, I don't see a whole lot of unathletic

524
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 6: you know, five eleven white guys. John Stocktram was kind

525
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 6: of the only one. So does then you start going like,

526
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 6: what's my backup plan here? And ironically, the two things

527
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 6: that I wanted to do. I loved sports talk radio.

528
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 6: I loved w IP in Philadelphia Nice listened to that religiously.

529
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 6: So I either wanted to do that or I wanted

530
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 6: to coach. And coaching went out pretty quick after that.

531
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:48,719
Speaker 5: From that point on, I started any chance I had.

532
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:49,679
Speaker 5: When I wasn't playing.

533
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:51,679
Speaker 6: You know, when I was in high school, I was

534
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 6: helping coach my my grade school cyo team. You know,

535
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 6: when I was in college, I was coaching you know,

536
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 6: the local high school summer league, the Sunny Hill League,

537
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 6: which every Philadelphia basketball player played in, the Narvith Basketball League,

538
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 6: which every Philadelphia basketball player. I was coaching those legs,

539
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,919
Speaker 6: and yeah, I loved it from the get go.

540
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 5: And now I'm on the other side.

541
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 6: My sixteen year old Philip Stephen, he is like he

542
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 6: knows more than I do. Like there's most of the

543
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 6: time he tells me things and I'm like, yeah, I

544
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 6: already knew that.

545
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 5: And then I'm like looking at my phone, like.

546
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 6: Right, like know that, and he sees things and you know,

547
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 6: he's still playing, but you know he's already talking about

548
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 6: when he's done, he wants to coach. He wants to coach.

549
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 6: So you know, it's really cool to see that and

550
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 6: kind of pass that along. It's it's in our blood.

551
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 6: I mean, I'm you know, we're a basketball family. My

557
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,240

00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,280

559

00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 6: and the joy in his eyes, you know.

583
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 5: And I actually didn't see it till very recently had it.

584
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 6: My brother is my associate head coach, my brother Jimmy,

585

Speaker 6: and so he's on our staff, and they had a

586
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,160
Speaker 6: huge embrace, you know, tears in their eyes.

587
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 5: It's just really cool.

588
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 3: Coach, How does your game plan kind of go out

589
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 3: the window when somebody like Terrence Hill Junior off the

590
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 3: bench scores thirty four and he is just anything he

591
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 3: throws up is seemingly going in.

592
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 5: Yeah.

593
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:25,719
Speaker 6: We've had that a number of times this year with Terrence.

594
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 6: You know, he's just one of those guys. You know

595
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 6: that is that is part of the game plan. It's

596
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 6: not the whole game plan, but it is part of

597
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 6: the game plan. What I say all the time is this,

598
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 6: I want to get hoopers and I want to let

599
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 6: them hoop. I don't want to turn them into robots.

600
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 6: I'm not trying to get them into like cyborgs. Right,

601
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 6: I'm not a scientist. I don't know anything about that.

602
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 6: I don't you know. I want to get hoopers. I

603
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 6: want to let them hoop, and he's a hooper. And

604
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 6: you know, at that point time, it's just all right,

605
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 6: he's got it going. We got to get the ball

606
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 6: in his hands in the right spots, you know, and

607
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 6: trust he's going to make the right play because he's

608
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 6: done that. He started the year he was shooting the

609
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 6: ball at like a ridiculous pace, so it became like shooter, shooter, shooter,

610
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:05,239
Speaker 6: and everybody's trying to run him off the three point line. Well,

611
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 6: then he's able to score around the rim, and then

612
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 6: it was like, all right, he's a scorer. We got

613
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 6: to get the ball of his hands. And then he

614
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 6: turns into you know, having games of seven, eight, nine assists,

615
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 6: no turnovers, and you're like, the dude's just a player,

616
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 6: and I trust him, and he trusts me that I'm

617
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 6: going to put him in the right spots and I

618
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 6: trust that he's gonna you know, he's going to make

619
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 6: the right play.

620
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 5: If it's for him, he'll get the shot.

621
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 6: If it's he comes off and there's two guys on him,

622
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 6: he's going to make the right play and get somebody

623
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 6: else's shot.

624
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: You chose wisely by choosing coaching. But if you want

625
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 1: the offseason, I know it's a year round job, but

626
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: if you want to get some sports radio.

627
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 2: When you I mean, we will offer you a job

628
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 2: right now.

629
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:38,920

00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 5: you well.

662
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 6: But at the same time, like, right, come on, dude,

663
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 6: like you're eight, Like, just be excited about Bryce Harper.

664
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 2: Uh, well you were. You all jacked up with that

665
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 2: home run in the World Baseball.

666
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 6: Send it to send it to him. The next morning

667
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 6: we were here in the embassy. Is the beautiful MBSC.

668
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 2: Suite of course.

669
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 6: Yes, When Nate woke up, that was the first thing

670
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 6: I showed him. I said, yeah, I said, Harper hit

671
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 6: a home run last night. I said, they lost, but

672
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 6: he hit a home run, right.

673
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 3: I was impressed with Aaron Nolan in the World Baseball Classic.

674
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 3: I think he has a bounce back year this year.

675
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 6: That I mean, we need that. We need that big time, Yeah,

676
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,959
Speaker 6: big time. He's right, Sanchez is the monster. You know,

677
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 6: Romero is really good. Like you know, if if you

678
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 6: get Nola on the bounce back, Wheeler comes back healthy

679
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 6: hopefully you know those four guys that that's a hell

680
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 6: offul lineup for there.

681
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: It was bullshit though, right that Team Italy was all

682
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: born in the United States.

683
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 2: I mean, what are we doing here? Come?

684
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 6: It's the whole thing's crazy now, I mean, that's well,

685
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 6: we see that in uh, we've seen that in the Olympics,

686
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 6: in basketball a little bit. I mean Joe he played

687
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 6: for Team USA the last Olympics, you know what I mean.

688
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 5: Like it's like kim.

689
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 6: Oaiswall played for the USA back in whatever it was

690
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 6: ninety six.

691
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 2: Like right, Right's it's weird.

692
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I guess there's a lot of really

693
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 6: good Italian baseball players.

694
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 5: Like I love baseball. I can. I wasn't a good hitter.

695
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 5: I wasn't a great hitter. I was an okay hitter.

696
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 6: I could bunt, though, so if they needed a bunner,

697
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 6: I'd gladly put on Italy's colors and go out there

698
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 6: and try to bunt against one of these guys.

699
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 2: You were great to get that guy from first a second.

700
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 6: Just just trying to lay one pay out and get

701
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 6: it over and feel like I did something.

702
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 2: Where are you on, Nick Sirianti and we'll get you

703
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 2: out of here in a second.

704
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 5: Oh, I mean, come on that guy again.

705
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,959
Speaker 6: Like that's why Philadelphia's crazy, right, Like you look at

706
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 6: that record and you go everybody else in the country

707
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 6: is like, wait a second, you're winning ten, eleven, twelve,

708
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 6: thirteen games, but it's like everything's the biggest controversy.

709
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 5: In the world, right. I mean, that dude is just

710
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 5: a winner. He's found a way to win.

711
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 6: He's got that bravado out about him that that definitely

712
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 6: plays well in Philadelphia.

713
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: Just won the Super Bowl, right, like we're yea whatever the.

714
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 5: Like, and we're talking about like is his job? Like

715
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 5: come on, what are we doing? Right?

716
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 2: Yes?

717
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 5: What is crazy?

718
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 6: Because you know, being down in Richmond, I walked by

719
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 6: the TV and all the national media.

720
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 5: That's all they're talking about too, is like Eagles and what's.

721
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 6: What's the what's the problem. They're dysfunctional and like they

722
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 6: just won seven in a row.

723
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 1: Like that Sports Radio though, Man, I mean, that's it,

724
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: that's that's that's where we're at.

725
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 6: And they are certainly a lightning bolt for that. But now, Sirianni,

726
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 6: that dude, I think he's a great coach. He's doing

727
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 6: great things in Philadelphia. I hope you know, my my,

728
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 6: my brethren in the City of Brotherly Love understand, like

729
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 6: they did the same thing Andy Reid.

730
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 5: Like all that dude dude did was win. Like he's

731
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 5: a great coach.

732
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 6: He's one of the best, if not the best, all

733
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 6: the time, won a million games. And it was like, well,

00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 6: he's you know not doesn't do this well, it doesn't

735
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 6: do that, Like come on, give me a break, Like

Speaker 2: I love that.

757
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,399
Speaker 1: I know you you're not here just to win one game.

758
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 1: You want to win the whole damn tournament. So how

759
00:34:58,239 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 1: do you protect your team? Like, what do you tell

760
00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 1: you your team after the game? Hey, nice win, but

761
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 1: we did win a national championship last night. What's the

762
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: message to the team will be forward?

763
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, We've been talking really down the stretch here about

764
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 6: focus and refocus, right like, focus on what do we

765
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 6: have coming up here? So through all these games, even

766
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 6: back to the middle of February, right like, focus on

767
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 6: what we need to do in this game, block out

768
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 6: all the extra noise, and then once those games were over,

769
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 6: it was refocused.

770
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:23,800
Speaker 5: We did that with the.

771
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 6: Conference tournament, right we won, you know, we win in

772
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 6: the quarterfinals and we're walking through the hall, you know,

773
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 6: the you know, go to the locker room, and I'm

774
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 6: yelling to them up ahead, refocus, refocus, and then I

775
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 6: hear them saying it amongst themselves, right, And.

776
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 5: So it's really that.

777
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 2: So yes, just that, and.

778
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 6: We talk about numbers. So right now we're just talking

779
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 6: about number two. You know, how do we get number two?

780
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 6: You know, and just being ready with whatever it takes,

781
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 6: and you know, not getting caught up in you know,

782
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 6: all these people that want to tell you they love
