1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: When Donovan Mitchell came came to me and I watched

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 1: him in summer basketball and I loved him. I thought

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 1: he was a freak athlete but couldn't shoot. So I

4
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:10,239
Speaker 1: called him up and I said, I want you to

5
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: visit Louisville. I can, I can really help you. Watch

6
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: the player development session. I'm going to put you on

7
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: a split screen with Steph Curry. I'm gonna show you

8
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: Steph Curry's ARC. I'm gonna show you your ARC. So

9
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 1: we did it, went through it on Sunday. He's getting

10
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,319
Speaker 1: ready to leave with his mom. Saturday night we have

11
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: we have dinner. I don't know what he said, Coach,

12
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: where's the restroom? I said in the back and my

13
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: phone is blowing up in my pocket and my kids

14
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: are telling me that Donovan Mitchell just committed. He went

15
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 1: in the bathroom. He went on Twitter and committed to Loisville.

16
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 1: He came back and said, coach, stand up. I said, why,

17
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: He said, give me a hug. I'm a Louisville Cardinal.

18
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: Stay for you to my vein.

19
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 2: All of this came up by love, got you crazy

20
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 2: in the stay in the city.

21

Speaker 3: What's up everybody, and welcome to another episode of The

22
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 3: Roommate Show, presented by Bett MGM. Obviously as all the

23
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 3: ways you have young Matthew over here, we got the

24
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,320

Speaker 3: We appreciate you blessing our podcast with with the visit.

28
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me.

29
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 3: First off, you know, good good start to the season,

30
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 3: did you guys?

31
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 1: Yeah? One, and we play playing Alabama on Saturday m HM.

32
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: And they did a number one tempo team. They shoot

33
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: the ball within fifteen seconds every time down the corn

34
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 1: I put it out.

35
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 4: I'll tell you what.

36
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 3: They're the opposite of the New York Knicks. Last year

37
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 3: we tried to shoot the ball in the last five seconds.

38
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 4: Percentage in the last five seconds was like abnormally high

39
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 4: for what you would think.

40
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 3: It was. It was kind of high. But it was

41
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 3: just the fact that I was in the top ten

42
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 3: in the league of shots with like four or less,

43
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 3: and it was like it was like Jalen, James, Harden,

44
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 3: Katie Shay, all these like scores ISO players and then

45
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 3: me like number seven. I'm just like I'm not supposed

46
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 3: to be in this list, but hey, you know, we

47
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 3: got a fast paced team this year, so things are good.

48
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 3: But yeah, good start to the year. Obviously, expectations are

49
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 3: are high. How do you taper that?

50
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: Obviously with you know, we've got a really good team.

51
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: We have an older team. I've got about four or

52
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: five guys that are twenty three years of age, so

53
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: they're experienced, they've they've played, they've one guy's been in Kansas,

54
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 1: the other guy's been in Arizona State. Another person's been

55
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: in two schools at Stanford. So we've got a lot

56
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: of older players. Ian Jackson was at North Carolina. Got

57
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,079
Speaker 1: a couple of young guys that are really good. But

58
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,679
Speaker 1: we're playing a great schedule. We play Alabama on Saturday,

59
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: then we're going to play Kentucky and in the CBS

60
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,959
Speaker 1: Classic in Atlanta. We go out to Las Vegas and

61
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 1: play at Ioways, Stay Bailing, possibly Houston. We play All

62
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: miss in the Garden as well, and then of course

63
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: the Big East.

64
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 4: So it's a it's a tough schedule, but that's a

65
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 4: crazy non conference. Yeah, that's I like it.

66
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: But we need to sell you know, for US Madison

67
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 1: Square Garden, we have to get twelve thousand fans to

68
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: break even and after that we make money. So for years,

69
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: even when you guys were playing, you know, they were

70
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: drawing six seven, eight thousand people, they were hemorrhaging every

71
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: they were losing two hundred thousand a game. So now

72
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: we sold out the last six to seven games and

73
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: we're finally starting to make some good money.

74
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 4: Is that that go straight to anil stuff?

75
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: No, it goes It goes to the school, and our

76
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: NIL is a little different.

77
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 5: I was gonna say, when you're recruiting and you're potentially

78
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 5: recruiting against guys or against schools with bigger budgets, like,

79
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 5: do you feel that on a day to day basis?

80
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 4: Like how does that manifest?

81
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: Well, they're not going to have a bigger budget. The structure, Yeah,

82
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: there's nobody. If we want a player will get them.

83
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: We'll get it only maybe Kentucky probably could spend more

84
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: than anybody in the business. But outside of that, if

85
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,359
Speaker 1: we really want a player, we'll go out and raise it.

86
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 4: I remember seeing you talk about how you're not recruiting

87
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 4: like incoming freshmen. I don't know about it all, but

88
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 4: you're just your it's not your priority, right.

89
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: Can you explain that to us, well, we take freshman

90
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: each year, but I want older players. I want veteran players,

91
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 1: no different than the NBA rookies. Unless they're really really special,

92
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: are not going to play a lot in the beginning.

93
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: So we go after older players who have been through it.

94
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: I know how to play the game, they understand to

95
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 1: play that type of schedule, and I don't deal financially.

96
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: I'm one of the few coaches that enjoys the players

97
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 1: being paid. It hasn't bothered me at all. The transfer

98
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: portal doesn't bother me because I'm at Saint John's. Saint

99
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: John's without the NIL would struggle basketball wise because we

100
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: don't We don't have football, we don't have a campus

101
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: where a lot of students live on campus is not

102
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 1: an active social life too much. It's about Madison Square Garden,

103
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 1: the Big East, and we have our strengths and we

104
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 1: have our weaknesses. So the NIL for us in the

105
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: transfer portal is a great thing. So we have a

106
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: general manager that goes out there and speaks to agents

107
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 1: all year long. He'll negotiate the contract. I'll ask him

108
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 1: at the end, what are you thinking of paying him?

109
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 1: And then I'll in disbelief I can't believe that we

110
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: would pay, but I have at it, well, we'll raise it.

111
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 3: I'm curious, because you know, you just touched on a

112
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 3: little bit of your view of the NIO stuff. What

113
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 3: was your initial thoughts, because you know a lot of

114
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 3: the great coaches are no longer doing it. I feel

115
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 3: like NIO is a part of it, obviously, what Lauren Nega,

116
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 3: you know retired beginning of the year or right before.

117
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 3: To see Tony Bennett, Tony Bennett, Tony Bennett, I'll see

118
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 3: coach rise gone or what's this a laundry list of

119
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 3: amazing coaches that are just.

120
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: Well, I look at it a little bit differently. You know,

121
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: I've made a lot of money. I'm a wealthy man

122
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: today at seventy three because of my players. You know,

123
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: I entered the Hall of Fame because my players put

124
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:27,359
Speaker 1: me there. So I'm excited that they can get some wealth.

125
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: And I would say probably fifty to sixty percent of

126
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: my players give most of the money to the have families.

127
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: So the only thing I want from them is I

128
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: bring somebody in to tell them how to invest it,

129
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: how to make money grow, how to pay your taxes,

130
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: how to do to write things with their wealth, and

131
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 1: I'm fine with it. The more they make, the happier

132
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: I am. We never discuss it. I'm not interested in

133
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: discussing it. I'm happy about it. If I can help

134
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: you from an investment standpoint, I'm here for you, But

135
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 1: outside of that, I'm happy for them.

136
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 4: Have you had a player like after the season, just say, hey,

137
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 4: you guys did well. I don't know you guys did well,

138
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 4: and all of a sudden, coach sike, I really appreciate you.

139
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 4: I love being here or whatever whatever, but I'm gonna

140
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 4: enter the chance to Portal. Like does it like is

141
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 4: it like a question rush in your head? Like we

142
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 4: just had a great year. We have a chance to

143
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 4: just on the special the next year, and now I

144
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 4: gotta recruit you all over again.

145
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: I haven't had had it happen yet. I'm sure it will.

146
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: Generally speaking, If if they said to me, I'd like

147
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: to get a better contract and you'll work, I said,

148
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: you have it. Don't even don't even worry about that.

149
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 4: Now.

150
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: I had a couple of players I told to go

151
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: into Portal because they weren't playing enough and I thought

152
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: they could do better financially and playing time by leaving

153
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: one with Brady Dunlap. He wound up going to Saint Louis.

154
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: It was a much better situation for him. He wasn't

155
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: going to play a whole lot for me, so it

156
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: was it was it was a way for him to

157
00:07:55,760 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: grow basketball wise and to make more money.

158
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 4: Hearing like how upfront you are, I feel like it's

159
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 4: very rare refreshing. Yeah, it's efficient, obviously, but it's like rare.

160
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 4: You don't hear like, hey, at least I haven't. I

161
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 4: haven't seen it, Like, hey, this is I think a

162
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 4: situation for you could be better elsewhere, And like I

163
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 4: feel like you're the way you've explained it, like you're

164
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 4: not like being disrespectful with like you're not going to

165
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 4: play here, so I think you should go Like like no,

166
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 4: like there's gonna be another situation for you where you

167
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 4: can make more money. I had better experience playing elsewhere,

168
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 4: Like how did you get to that? How'd you be

169
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 4: able to do that? I feel like it's very tough,

170
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 4: especially in this day and age.

171
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: Well, my background is, you know, I was the nick

172
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 1: coach for an assistant for two years, head coach for

173
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: two years, Celtics for four years, Punett the Nikos in

174
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: Greece for two years in the EuroLeague. So I was

175
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: used to dealing with one year contracts in the euro League.

176
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: That's the EuroLeague. If you get two or three, you're

177
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: you're in a strong minority of maybe five percent. So

178
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: everybody in the euro League is on a one one

179
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 1: year contract. So I was used to that in dealing

180
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: with that and with the players now it's I know

181
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: who's coming back, I know who's out there. There's only

182
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 1: one thing about the business I don't like. So my

183
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: general manager will come to me and say, oh, I

184
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: hear his player from Maryland's thinking I'll leaven at the

185
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: end of the year. I said they have. They've only

186
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: played one game, and it's not the player saying it,

187
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: but it's the agent saying it. The other thing I

188
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: don't like about it the agents are taking ten and

189
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: fifteen percent of the player's money ten and fifteen percent

190
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: of the nil money.

191
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 5: Which for people that don't know, is three to four

192
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 5: times what it would be taken in the NBA.

193
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: Marketing do yes, basically, but all they're doing is going

194
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 1: in and saying is what we want and that's it.

195
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: They're not Then these kids aren't being they're not getting commercials,

196
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: they're not getting marketing money. So they're just negotiating the

197
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: nil contract. And my opinion is they should get no

198
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 1: more than two percent of that.

199
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll think for us, the max MBA as and

200
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 3: can get is four percent. That's the the max. And

201
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 3: then obviously you have like a marketing deal, which is

202
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 3: that's a different piece of pot.

203
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 4: But yeah, you get four percent like the NBA content money.

204
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 4: The marketing is that's basically what they're doing. That's a

205
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 4: little more like twenty. Yeah, yeah, you can negotiate it,

206
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 4: but like it's I've had that twenty at one point. Yeah.

207
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:17,839
Speaker 1: What I what I tell the kids they asked me

208
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: about it. I tell them, Okay, how much do you

209
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: want to get paid? You tell your agent if you

210
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: want five hundred thousand dollars, you get me five hundred

211
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: thousand and you could take the rest whatever's over that.

212
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: I tell them that I said, But don't don't give

213
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: them any fifteen to twenty percent.

214
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 3: I would say, obviously, no. JB on like how upfront

215
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 3: you are. There was the video last year, that one

216
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 3: that kind of went by you know you, I think

217
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 3: it was, Yeah, it was it was going going crazy,

218
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 3: But I feel like it's it's super dope. Obviously, you know,

219
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 3: I didn't play against you, obviously, you know always heard

220
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 3: you heard about you just being around. But your coaching

221
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 3: style hasn't. It seems like it's still that kind of

222
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 3: like tough, gritty, you know, hold guy's accountable, is it.

223
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 3: Do you feel like it's hard at times now to

224
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 3: do that just with the nil and the yeah.

225
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 1: So you're a halftime and you're getting on the guys

226
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: because they were hanging their heads by being down. They

227
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: wouldn't take the open shots because they do have a

228
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: lot of freedom offensively, I expect them to play hard

229
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: and they all do, and I tell, why are you

230
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: getting down? And I swore too much, but we wound

231
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: up winning the game and it did go viral. But

232
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: I can get on my guys hard as a unit.

233
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: I can't get on you hard in practice. I can't

234
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: get home. I can't do it because they get embarrassed

235
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 1: too easily. But collectively, like today, in practice, I'm getting

236
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: on them about the transition defense. I said, we can't

237
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: beat Alabama playing this transition defense. And I got on

238
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: them hard, but I didn't individualize my criticism so you

239
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: can get on guys really And if I want to

240
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 1: get on somebody individually, I just call him in. We

241
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: have a long talk. And the one thing I've learned

242
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 1: is I listened four times that he man I speak.

243
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 1: I said, Okay, tell me why why you're practicing like this,

244
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 1: tell me what you're thinking. Where's your head at? And

245
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: I listened to him And after about listening four times,

246
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 1: then I said, okay, and I'm going to tell you something.

247
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 1: You're not playing hard enough. You're just not playing hard enough.

248
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: You're not reaching your potential. I have a young man,

249
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 1: Bryce Hopkins, who could be the best player in the country,

250
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:33,319
Speaker 1: but he takes possessions off Providence and he takes possessions

251
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 1: off and he could dominate the game. And I said,

252
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: if you want to reach your potential, you got to

253
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 1: do it all the time. When Donovan Mitchell came came

254
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: to me, and it was funny because he was down

255
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: to Villanova, Indiana and Providence and I watched him in

256
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: summer basketball and I loved him. I thought he was

257
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: a freak athlete but couldn't shoot. So I called him up.

258
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: He just narrowed his list down from six to three,

259
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,559
Speaker 1: and I said, I want you to visit Louisville. I

260
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: can I can really help you. I want you to

261
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: watch every morning I do play A development sessions nine

262
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 1: to night forty five. I take four guys ten to

263
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: ten forty five. I take four guys in eleven to

264
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: eleven forty five and all I do is work on

265
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: offensive moves. So I said, I can really help you.

266
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: Your jump shots broken And he said, well, what do

267
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: you mean my jump SHOT's broken? I said, well, you,

268
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure that Jay Wright and the coach of Indiana

269
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: and the coach of Providence told you that. He said, no,

270
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: nobody's ever told me I had a broken jump shot.

271
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: I said. He said, Coach, I'm down to three schools

272
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: and I just went from six to three. I said,

273
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 1: just visit. Watch the play a development session. I'm going

274
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: to put you on a split screen with Steph Curry.

275
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 1: I'm going to show you Steph Curry's ARC. I'm gonna

276
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 1: show you your ARC. So we did it, went through it,

277
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: and on Sunday he's getting ready to leave with his mom.

278
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: Saturday night, we have dinner at Jeff Rubies and Louisville

279
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: and he's winking at his mom, winking at his mom.

280
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 1: And I don't know what he said, Coach, where's the restroom?

281
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,079
Speaker 1: I said, in the back goes in back in. My

282
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,439
Speaker 1: phone is blowing up in my pocket, but I don't

283
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 1: want to take it out. Finally it won't stop. And

284
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: my kids are telling me that Donovan Mitchell just committed.

285
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: He went in the bathroom, he went on Twitter and

286
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 1: committed to Loivlle. He came back and said, coach, stand up.

287
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: That's why he said, give me a hug. I'm a

288
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: loi vocrdinal And it was all because he felt he

289
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: could look himself in the mirror and say his jump

290
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: shot was broken. He shot a line drive shot line drive.

291
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: But he worked his ass off And I was telling

292
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: Bryce the story of it. I said, Bryce, it's not

293
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: just me working with you in the morning. Man, you

294
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: got to live in the gym if you want to

295
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: get to where you want to go. And so one

296
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: on one you can tell him that and he'll go

297
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: out the next few days and kill him. But then

298
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: he reverts back.

299
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 4: Josh got Donovan drafted to you.

300
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 3: About to say, about to say, so you're you're You're

301
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 3: the reason why I didn't get drafted Utah, so I

302
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 3: appreciate it. He was in my draft workout and we

303
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 3: had Eric Pascal, who was at Nover in there. You know,

304
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 3: child a best friend. So like I was cool with

305
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 3: Donovan and you know, know him a little bit. But

306
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 3: that's all. I'm like, Oh, it's jump like jump shot

307
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 3: like trash right, I'm gonna like give him space. We're

308
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 3: gonna do all that. I don't think he missed a shot. Yeah,

309
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 3: his whole workout, it was the three on three portion,

310
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 3: the spot shots, movement shots. He just he did not miss.

311
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 3: And it was that. I think they had got drafted

312
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 3: fourteen or twelve. Twe twelve. He had that, and I

313
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 3: think they had another like late first round pick that

314
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 3: they would thinking about like drafting me, and yeah, he

315
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 3: cooked me so bad that they were just like, yeah,

316
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 3: we're gonna we're for sure going to get this guy.

317
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 3: I don't know if we're gonna take that this guy.

318
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 3: I don't know if we're going to wear the draft

319
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 3: pick on him.

320
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: So I called him the Nicks they had the seventh pick.

321
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: I called him up and said, listen, take take my

322
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: guy Downovan Mitchell. He's going to kill it. Don't pay

323
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: attention to what to what you think some of this weekends.

324
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: So he's going to kill it. Take him? And they said, no,

325
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know if we could take

326
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: him that high. Seven. They wound up taking Frank Nicolette

327
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: or Nico Nicolina.

328
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 3: Nicolina right, yeah, something like that, Yeah, yeah, ni kea. Yeah.

329
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: Just think about that. They could have had done him

330
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: in seven. They couldn't take him, it was too hot,

331
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: but they took Frank.

332
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 3: That was so obviously what drafted this Thursday, I think

333
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 3: it is. Me and him had to work out in

334
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 3: New York the Knicks Wednesday morning, day before the draft,

335
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 3: the day before the draft, like I was, I was done.

336
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 3: And then I guess they like they called I guess

337
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 3: they called like a couple of guys agents because they

338
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 3: only they had the seventh pick and then that was it.

339
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 3: They had nothing else, and they were like, so I

340
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 3: guess they were telling guys like, oh, you know, they

341
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 3: might trade, you know, they might basically like get another pick,

342
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 3: you know, in the late first or whatever. So I

343
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 3: just remember and the funniest part about that whole thing,

344
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 3: I left my pall try bag. We got to the

345
00:16:58,240 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 3: gym we did the work out. I'm like, dah, I

346
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 3: got palltr bag at the hotel, so all right, cool.

347
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 3: So we pull up after the workout and we pulled

348
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,360
Speaker 3: into you know whatever, like the Holiday Inn or whatever,

349
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 3: you know spot. We were in Terrytown, and Donovan just

350
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 3: turned and looked at me. He's like, is this when

351
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 3: you stayed up looking, I'm like, hike Comb, I'm like like, yeah,

352
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 3: well you say that I said at the Ritz.

353
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,679
Speaker 6: I was like, yeah, I'm not getting I'm not getting

354
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 6: drafted here. But yeah, shout out to Dawn man. He uh,

355
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 6: you just messed up my thought process.

356
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 1: I was at that game where you guys played played them,

357
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: and Donovan came to practice the next day and spoke

358
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 1: to the guys and he didn't even attempt to shoot

359
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: the basketball in the first quarter, and he said, I

360
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: knew they were gonna come after me, and they would

361
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 1: come after me hard, and uh, I had I was

362
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: trying to get everybody else's shot. And uh then then

363
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter he said, we're gonna get blown out

364
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: unless I do something.

365
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was beginning of the second half.

366
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 3: He scored, like start cooking. Yeah that was because yeah,

367
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 3: that was the first game. I was sick. I didn't

368
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 3: play that game. I was saying, I'm like, but then

369
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 3: he was like he was on twenty nine for a while.

370
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 4: While, and we found a way. But they were they're

371
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,880
Speaker 4: gonna be good, They're gonna be really good. And then

372
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:27,880
Speaker 4: there's seriously, they.

373
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: Came back last night last night.

374
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, So back to the beginning of the conversation.

375
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 3: Do you think the holding guy's accountable aspect is Do

376
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 3: you think it's different because of and I or just

377
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,360
Speaker 3: because of how I think I think.

378
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 1: I think you've got to be a teacher, and you

379
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: you've got to build character in people, regardless of what

380
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: age you are. I think they're gonna go out there

381
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: and you've got to build character in them. And what

382
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: I'm trying to do is get everybody to reach that potential,

383
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,679
Speaker 1: whatever that potential may be. And I tell players all

384
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: the time in recruiting, I can't when coaches say I'll

385
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: get you to the NBA, they're feeding you nonsense. I said,

386
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: the NBA is going to pick who they want. I said,

387
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 1: all I can tell you is I'll get you to

388
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: reach your potential. You will reach your potential, whatever that

389
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: potential may be. If it's euro League, if it's Europe,

390
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 1: if it's the NBA. I've had over twenty five NBA

391
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: basketball players. I'll get you to reach your potential. It's

392
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: up to the NBA to choose you, and that's all

393
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 1: you can do. But I am a big believer in

394
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 1: working hard. Just give me one hundred percent. I'll give

395
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 1: you one hundred percent. Don't take plays off, and just

396
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 1: give it everything you have to make it. And look,

397
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: that's what you two guys are all about. You don't

398
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 1: take plays off. You play your asses. So if you

399
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: did in college, you're doing it now and that's why

400
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,439
Speaker 1: you are where you are. But players don't always do that,

401
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: you know, and some take I had a young man,

402
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: you guys probably remember Russ Smith, who is a two

403
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: two time All American for me, and he's still playing.

404
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 1: He plays overseas and he scored, you know, he scored

405
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 1: like sixty points the game and we're very close. I

406
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 1: gave him the nickname Russ Stickiells. But Rust hated practice,

407
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: hated it, and I used to tell him, I said, Russ,

408
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:16,880
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna come to an end unless you get

409
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 1: better at this game. Now, Russ did reach his potential,

410
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: but he was six foot, one hundred and sixty pounds.

411
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: I mean, there's only so much he could do. But

412
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: he was a great college player.

413
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 4: You know, was hated practice.

414
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 5: I was gonna say, could you play with those you know, well,

415
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 5: you played with coach right, Yeah, but I don't know

416
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 5: I played for coach right, I don't know.

417
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 3: If I coulda play, he probably would have. Yeah, I

418
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 3: don't know if I could have done it.

419
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 4: Notorious practice heter Allegedly.

420
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 3: I practiced hard kind of because I had no I know.

421
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 4: You practiced hard because you had to.

422
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 3: Coach made me.

423
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 4: Coach made you practice hard.

424
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: Now, but do you guys, You guys don't practice, I

425
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: mean real practice. Your dad told me that even with Tibbs,

426
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: you guys didn't really get after it too much.

427
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 4: In Bronte, we would. We did a lot, but nothing contact. Ye,

428
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 4: nothing contact. So it was like just making sure like

429
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 4: we obviously got a lot of players and all that stuff,

430
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 4: technique stuff, but it was never like We're never like

431
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 4: throwing the ball up and playing. Yeah, especially during the season.

432
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 3: I think, I mean kind of to where you were

433
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 3: talking about. Obviously, for all these guys, the end goal

434
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 3: is like the NBA, like they want to make it,

435
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 3: they want to do that, and they see mostly the

436
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 3: top guys like there's certain possession, like they can take

437
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 3: possession off, like they're they're that good. But they got

438
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 3: to they growing up, they didn't take possessions off. They

439
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,360
Speaker 3: had to figure out where where they could take possession off,

440
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 3: how they could use their body. And I think that's

441
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 3: one thing that obviously you're kind of attesting to, is

442
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,679
Speaker 3: like you have to learn that and you have to

443
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,919
Speaker 3: get to that. And then when you get to that level,

444
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 3: at times, you know, as you're great enough, you can

445
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 3: pick and choose, you know, how to take certain possessions

446
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,199
Speaker 3: off or do that or you know, make sure you

447
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 3: get your body right.

448
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 4: You know.

449
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:13,400
Speaker 3: For for guys I can it's like you're we need

450
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 3: you to go out there and score twenty five points,

451
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 3: like I don't. We don't need you to go crazy

452
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 3: and be defensive player of the year, Like that's not

453
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 3: your role. So but I feel like sometimes it's hard

454
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,199
Speaker 3: for young guys to understand that because they see it.

455
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 3: They see the like the glitz and the glamor, but

456
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 3: they don't realize the progression it takes to get to.

457
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: Know, like I want the young man Bryce Hopkins. I

458
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: tell them, I said, Bryce, getting six seven rebounds is

459
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: not going to do it. I said, everybody's into so

460
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: much the analytics and the statistics of how many rebounds

461
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: permitted are you going to get? I said, you got

462
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: to come down with thirteen fourteen rebounds. This is this

463
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: is it for you. And I said, the NBA scouts

464
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: they don't like older players. You know they don't. I

465
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 1: think last year with two seniors drafted, Walter Clayton junior

466
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: from Florida and one other player, so they're at a disadvantage.

467
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,120
Speaker 1: When you're a senior in college, you better have those numbers.

468
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: And you know, I want my players to get there.

469
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 1: If you can get twelve thirteen rebounds, you're going to

470
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 1: stick out, go get it.

471
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,880
Speaker 3: That was I mean rebounding. Well, I mean I'm not sure.

472
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,239
Speaker 3: You know, obviously you know your pre pre draft, you know,

473
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 3: workouts and conversations were probably totally different than mine. But

474
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 3: that's what I'm just trying to like the conversation role

475
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 3: and all, because like how they looked at me. They

476
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 3: look I think like my senior year, I average like

477
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 3: eighteen points or like nineteen points or whatever. But they

478
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 3: were like, m that won't really translate. But like they

479
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,479
Speaker 3: looked at the rebounding number, They're like, that's not like

480
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 3: that will translate to the next level. I think probably

481
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 3: like nine.

482
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:52,120
Speaker 1: Damn for your size, that's great, appreciate it, right, But yeah,

483
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 1: like when year difference in school too too?

484
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, he left senior I left the junior one year

485
00:23:58,600 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 4: draft class difference?

486
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: Were you were you you unless you when you beat

487
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:03,199
Speaker 1: Carolina or was it just you?

488
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:03,719
Speaker 4: That was?

489
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 3: That was?

490
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 4: That was my freshman year, his junior junior year.

491
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: It was in the top part of the one hotel

492
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 1: in Miami with my kids. And obviously I'm a close

493
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: friend to Jason. When when when you won that game,

494
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: we went crazy.

495
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 4: That ship was crazy.

496
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 5: Do you think it's the greatest March Madness finished ever?

497
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 5: It was pretty special. It was pretty special. Yeah, it

498
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:27,919
Speaker 5: really was.

499
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 4: I don't know. Everything happened so fast, like we were

500
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 4: up ten, then we were tied. Yeah, And then I

501
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 4: asked coach right like when we had him on the

502
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 4: show when we went back to Nova, I was like,

503
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 4: do you remember what you said like in the in

504
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 4: the huddle. He's like, no, not at all. So yeah,

505
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 4: me neither like it was. It was a complete blackout moment,

506
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,360
Speaker 4: but somehow, some way we were I just remember being focused.

507
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 4: We were all like, damn, we just flew a temper only,

508
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 4: but we were like, we'll figure something out.

509
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: Never forget those moments March madness. You know, I've lost

510
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: in the first round. I've been to seven final fours

511
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: and people always say you have a team to go to.

512
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 1: I said, you just don't know. You just don't know.

513
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,159
Speaker 1: You get the wrong matchup. You the worst game we

514
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: played in ninety six, we had a team that I

515
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: really thought my second unit of Ron Mercer and Derek

516
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 1: Anderson and those could have won the national championship. We

517
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 1: had eight NBA players. A thirteenth man was Nazi Muhammed,

518
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 1: who played eighteen years in the league. So we had

519
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,159
Speaker 1: a great team. But we played Syracuse in the final

520
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 1: game with John Wallace and the two three zone really

521
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,679
Speaker 1: stimied what we were trying to do. We wound up

522
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: winning by nine, but it was the worst game of

523
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: the season. So you can get the wrong matchup in

524
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: the NCAA tournament and you're out.

525
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 4: Absolutely.

526
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 3: I haven't replayed see about to say that's what Wisconsin.

527
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 4: Wisconsin, it would be lost. But there were eight seeds

528
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,919
Speaker 4: or not eight seeds, but they were second the big ten. Yeah,

529
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 4: but there are eight seeds. So it was just like

530
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:02,919
Speaker 4: it was.

531
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 1: And they had a different style of play too.

532
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, they had Nata Hayes and Bronson Kig Coen Kania.

533
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,239
Speaker 3: I think so. Yeah. Yeah, they had a tall they

534
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 3: had got a tall white guy.

535
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 4: They definitely cooked us. Yeah, definitely.

536
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 3: Yeah. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna talk too much

537
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 3: about that.

538
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: So you were all four years with Jay.

539
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 3: Barely made it, but I did.

540
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 4: When you when you were talking about like they kind

541
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 4: of believed a part of how you like you. You

542
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 4: went like at your team collectively. I feel like Coach

543
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 4: White went out as collectively, but he definitely went on

544
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 4: as individually.

545
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 3: He he was and obviously it was obviously a little

546
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 3: bit different time, but yeah, he would. Obviously his biggest

547
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 3: thing is, Okay, I want to make sure practice is

548
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,360
Speaker 3: so like it's so much harder than the game that

549
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,919
Speaker 3: you know, the game is easy. So he he for

550
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 3: sure would go at us, especially if he saw we

551
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 3: were like on that fence of like snapping, he would

552
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 3: He's like, okay, like I'm I'm gonna push I'm gonna

553
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 3: push your limits. He definitely, and I would give him

554
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 3: his credit. He always gave everybody one time to snap.

555
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 3: He didn't get more than one. He take the coach,

556
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 3: you probably you probably used your one time.

557
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 4: I never snapped, but you definitely snapped more than one.

558
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, snap at him. You couldn't. You can only

559
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 3: snap at him one time, Like you could snap at him,

560
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:48,159
Speaker 3: curse him out, do whatever. I'm just saying, like I

561
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 3: don't know if i'd use my one time. I mean

562
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 3: I probably more so snapped on y'all, but I didn't

563
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 3: really snap at him.

564
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 4: He would. He would one time albumim in the face,

565
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 4: just like kind of like creating space. And like I

566
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 4: definitely said this on the show before, but like if

567
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 4: I passed the ball and like being Joshua some middle

568
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 4: of the court and it felt like everything around was

569
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 4: going in slow motion, I just feel Josh like beaming

570
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 4: at me somehow. Shit. So I cut to the basket

571
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 4: and I catched the ball, and I just knew that

572
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 4: josh was about to like fuck me up. He like

573
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 4: pushes me into like the sliding like the door right

574
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 4: the ball drops, he gets to he throws the ball

575
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 4: at me and he just like just walks away like

576
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 4: nothing happened. I'm just like, like.

577
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 3: Are you good?

578
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 4: So he made us not a stand at that coach,

579
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 4: But I mean you broke Darryl Sternam or his chest,

580
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 4: you broke you beat him Michale every day before I

581
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 4: got there, I dontestly beat up you and Dante fought

582
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,719
Speaker 4: in the weight room everything. He was a common denominator

583
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 4: and everything. So his like you snapped like more than

584
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 4: ten times.

585
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, but like I'm sure you've had guys. I was

586
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 3: like this right, like that that was like because obviously

587
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 3: you a coach rider very similar terms of coaching style,

588
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 3: and you know how you guys are as men and

589
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 3: like teaching us obviously as young men. But I sought

590
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 3: I know you've had guys that were like that, Like

591
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 3: they were, you know, a little rough around edges, but

592
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 3: like by Yeah.

593
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: I had Ellis Miles from Compton. I was worried every

594
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: single day with him, every single day.

595
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 4: Josh from Silver Spring, Maryland.

596
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 5: A little differently, yeah, Josh, well, friends, Well.

597
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 4: The Obama's talking about comparing him to Compton. No, No,

598
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 4: you were just a troubled human being.

599
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 1: Still, are are.

600
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 5: There any similarities between the next teams that you were

601
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 5: a part of and this current team.

602
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 1: Well, we were. We would notice the Bombinos. We would

603
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 1: averageing one hundred and seventeen point eight points per game.

604
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: We were pressing a lot, so these guys don't press

605
00:29:56,480 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: like that. But offensive we shot a lot of threes.

606
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: This you guys are a better better offensive team than us.

607
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: But we had Patrick and we were a very good

608
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: defensive team. And but the game was different back then.

609
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: I mean, everybody's playing five out right. Now you have

610
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: Karl Anthony Town's coming in off the bounce and shooting threes.

611
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 1: We you know, Patrick and Oak never shot a three,

612
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: so it's a lot different. But I think, I think,

613
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: I really think you guys have the potential to do

614
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: great things this year. This is, in my opinion, a

615
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: much better team than last year. Nothing to do with

616
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 1: coaching or anything. I just think you were a much

617
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: better basketball team. I think you have all the answers.

618
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 1: If the big guy can stay healthy, yeah, I think

619
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: another year under our belt will help.

620
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 4: I think that chemistry was is there. That's not a

621
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 4: problem for us, Like chemiscry is not not a problem

622
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 4: for us. I just think that, uh it's a long ear,

623
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 4: so like you can't you can't look too far ahead. Yeah,

624
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 4: no question for everyone's like, oh, this is our year,

625
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 4: this is our year. Like we keep hearing that and like,

626
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 4: well we gotta get through the year, yep, right, And

627
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 4: so just making sure when I listen to the outside

628
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 4: noise positive negative.

629
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: And you have one thing that's as you know, because

630
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: you guys go to every arena, but the home court

631
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: advantage at Madison Square Garden is not like a normal

632
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: professional environment. These people are living. I'm sitting at courtside

633
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 1: and I'm watching these people and every single professional play,

634
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: they're on the edge of the seat going crazy. And

635
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: you know, you don't you see that some college games,

636
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: but you don't see that too often in the pros

637
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: now Is Oklahoma. Do you like that?

638
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 4: Okay, sees atmosphere our officer is really good. Like when

639
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 4: we get like the beginning of the game, it may

640
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 4: not be as loud, but the fourth quarter of the

641
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 4: garden close game, it's loud.

642
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's loud.

643
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 4: Okay. See from the moment the jump ball is tossed,

644
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 4: it's loud.

645
00:31:59,120 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

646
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 4: Okay, See like that.

647
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 3: I would say there's Portland when when Portland's good, Portland, Indiana, Indiana, Boston. Ah, yeah, but.

648
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 4: Okay, this this last last year was different because usually

649
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 4: as Boston would be like Boston's a great crowd for them,

650
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 4: But we just came from Detroit and Detroit yeh when

651
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:29,719
Speaker 4: I say it was deafening, like deafening. So we went

652
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 4: to Boston like it wasn't as loud as Detroit, Like

653
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 4: Detroit was loud as hell.

654
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 3: Like that might have been the loudest that might NBA

655
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 3: Arena ever.

656
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was loud every single game we played there.

657
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 3: There was one point it was probably like fourth quarter.

658
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 3: I don't know if there was channing f you or

659
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 3: he's a flopper or whatever.

660
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 4: It was.

661
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 3: Well, I I swore like my chest was shaking. I

662
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 3: was like, and he was going to the free throw line.

663
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 3: I'm like, he made I'll give him credit because he

664
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 3: made both Compson and I'm like, a, no, he's gonna

665
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 3: miss one. And because I'm saying it like it was,

666
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 3: I think it was like their first time going to

667
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 3: the playoffs in like ten years, the fifteen years something

668
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 3: a long time, and they I'll get them credit. They

669
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 3: showed out.

670
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 4: Detroit loud, but usually Boston, yes, usually Boston, yes, But

671
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 4: Detroit Troy was loud.

672
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 5: What do you think they're a loud as college arenas

673
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 5: that that you've coached.

674
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 1: Kansas is is tough. Rupp aerena is tough. In the

00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: Big East, Big East, you go to Marquette, it's you know,

691
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 3: New Big East. I'm like, it's a good conference. But

692
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,240
Speaker 3: when I committed, it was like it was the Big East.

693
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 3: It was all like the Syracuse the Connecticut hit and

694
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 3: then y'all know how sick. I was like, got committed

695
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 3: on hyped three months.

00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 4: Later, dismantled. Big East is dismantled.

697
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 3: I'm saying, I'm like, dog, I don't get to play

00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: What year is that?

700
00:34:53,440 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 3: So I committed twelve and got there. Yeah, it's the

701
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 3: thirteen fourteen with my freshman year. That was like the

702
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 3: first year of like.

703
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 1: The Louisville was in the Big East. No, we went

704
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 1: went to the Yep, Yeah, I was.

705
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 3: I was sick. Oh boy what I was. I'm just like,

706
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 3: all right, especially you know when you go to Nova

707
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 3: and you're you know, I wasn't that hoty prove it.

708
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 3: So I didn't have that many biggest Yeah, I wasn't

709
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 3: like you you know what I mean. So you know,

710
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 3: you go to Wells Fargo obviously they always had the

711
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 3: big games of Wells Fargo something. I'm like, I'm hype.

712
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 3: I went to the one where they like upset Syracuse.

713
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 3: I hit the game winner. I think they had a

714
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 3: game that with a pit they played. I went to

715
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 3: and I'm sitting there watching. I'm like, I can't wait

716
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 3: to play this. I can't wait for this, and then

717
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 3: it's it's it got totally different. Damn football money, bro,

718
00:35:55,719 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 3: But how was your thoughts of that? What was that

719
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 3: process like of like that that change of that. So

720
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 3: it was like Catholic seven.

721
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I really enjoyed it. We went back

722
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 1: to back Big East championships in twelve and thirteen, and

723
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: it was great with the teams that were in it.

724
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: I was really disappointed when everybody left for football, and

725
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: I was happy that Connecticut came back into it. I

726
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 1: would like to I'm a big proponent of combining the

727
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 1: Big East with the ACC. Coach Skryzhewsky recommended that I

728
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: think it would be great to have a super Conference

729
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 1: for basketball, because you know, back when I first started coaching,

730
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 1: the NBA and the NFL were like this, college football,

731
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 1: college basketball were like this. Today, an NBA playoff game,

732
00:36:54,719 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 1: Miami of Ohio playing playing a mid major in football

733
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: out draws in NBA game on TV. Football has taken

734
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 1: over television, and it's all because of gambling, you know,

735
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 1: it's all gambling one you know, one game a week,

736
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 1: and every if you turn on ESPN, they're talking about

737
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 1: football from when you get up in the morning to

738
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 1: first take to that McAfee show. That's all they're talking

739
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 1: about is football. They're not once in a while, they'll

740
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,359
Speaker 1: talk about the NBA once in a while though, they'll

741
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 1: bring the Baseball World Series up, but they're talking football NonStop.

742
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 1: And every member of their staff is football. So football

743
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:42,359
Speaker 1: is dominating. And so I would love to see us

744
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: combined with the ACC and have this super conference to

745
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 1: build up the statue of college basketball.

746
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:51,240
Speaker 3: Again, it's a cool idea. That'd be really dope.

747
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 4: Would it be called the a scy of the Big East?

748
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, it's all revenue driven.

749
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 4: Probably, and then what have the conference room's still at MSG.

750
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: I think they would want that, Yeah, gotta be.

751
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, so that's a So what's that gonna be.

752
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 4: That's gonna be like what twenty five, twenty six?

753
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 1: So we so it would be eleven probably twenty two

754
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 1: teams and you'd split it up and then you play

755
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: different teams every other year. Yeah, but it would be

756
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 1: it would just the television package would be amazing. Yeah, yeah,

757
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:34,359
Speaker 1: because you know North Carolina Duke is still Duke. North

758
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 1: Carolina right now is Duke is on an island by

759
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,239
Speaker 1: themselves in that conference. Right But when you look at

760
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: Florida State, you look at Clemson, and you look, they're

761
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,800
Speaker 1: not drawing. We still have a lot of drawing power

762
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: because we're in major cities.

763
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 4: All right, Before we get into it, quick heads up.

764
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 4: If you're trying to stand in your backy the season,

765
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 4: you need to be on door Dash. That's facts.

766
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 5: Whether you're watching for the highlights, the telefits, or just

767
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 5: trying to see if Josh finally makes your fantasy team.

768
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 3: That's crazy, buddy, that's crazy.

769
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 4: I'm just messing with you.

770
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:04,399
Speaker 3: Anytime a player drops fifty in a game, you get

927
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:12,400
Speaker 1: the Knicks. Is the end of his career?

928
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:16,400
Speaker 4: Oh rc man r C.

929
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:17,960
Speaker 3: That's the guy.

930
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 4: He jumps out of my career one hundred percent like

931
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 4: I he was at Dallas. He's definitely a goofy guy.

932
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 4: He's just goofy. But one thing that he knows about

933
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 4: he knows excess, Like he's really good with this stuff

934
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 4: and like no matter what, Like there are times where

935
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 4: obviously I got d m pas where I played, but

936
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 4: when I was out there, he was just like, go

937
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:46,880
Speaker 4: be aggressive, could just do you.

938
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:49,800
Speaker 1: And it's got a great mind. He tells a story

939
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 1: about me when I was with the Knicks and uh

940
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:54,920
Speaker 1: we were in bed foul trouble with playing the Phoenix

941
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:58,720
Speaker 1: Suns and he gets up and tells people this. Everybody

942
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:01,719
Speaker 1: embellishes their stories. And I put him in the game

943
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:03,319
Speaker 1: and I said, Rick, I'm going to tell you right now,

944
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 1: don't let the guys go by you like the last game.

945
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:08,799
Speaker 1: Just keep him in front. Don't let him go by you.

946
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 1: Guys goes by him, all right, Rick, don't let it

947
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 1: happ Don't let him go by you again. Time out.

948
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:18,759
Speaker 1: Let him go by I'm telling you tomorrow you're going

949
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 1: on a peta Pan bus back home. I'm not even

950
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 1: going to pay for your flight. Don't let this get

951
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 1: He tells everybody story, and I kept him in the game.

952
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:30,359
Speaker 1: I had Kiki Vandaway at the end of his career.

953
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:33,720
Speaker 1: I had Rick Carlile. But Rick, he could really play.

954
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:37,239
Speaker 1: He could really play. He was really, really intelligent. It

955
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:39,320
Speaker 1: does not shock me that he's a great coach today

956
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:41,800
Speaker 1: because he really understood how to play. He could shoot

957
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:44,880
Speaker 1: and pass with anyone. But defense was and he had

958
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:46,719
Speaker 1: great size. You know, he has good size for a

959
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:52,239
Speaker 1: backcourt play yep. And but he defensively, he was at

960
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 1: the end of his career. And Rick, just don't let

961
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 1: him go by you. It's all. Just keep him in

962
00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 1: front of you.

963
00:47:58,440 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 3: One question for you.

964
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 5: So we had joking know on the pod, and he

965
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:04,319
Speaker 5: talked about how unsurprised he was that Billy Donovan has

966
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:07,080
Speaker 5: had such a successful NBA career. I'm curious from your

967
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:09,279
Speaker 5: perspective of someone who's coached at the pro level as

968
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 5: well as college. Why you don't really see some like

969
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 5: a lot of amazing college coaches make the leap, and

970
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:17,080
Speaker 5: what the biggest difference is between.

971
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:18,480
Speaker 1: I had a little advantage because I worked for you,

972
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:22,359
Speaker 1: b Brown as an assistant. I don't ever recommend any

973
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:25,400
Speaker 1: college coach to go to the NBA unless they're an assistant,

974
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 1: because it's it's a totally different brand of coaching. Totally

975
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:33,359
Speaker 1: different brand. You know, you have to manage people, you

976
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:37,480
Speaker 1: have to keep the player's legs fresh, and you have

977
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:39,279
Speaker 1: to strategize about the game.

978
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:42,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you can't talk maybe talk to a thirty

979
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 5: five year old the same way you talk to a twenty.

980
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:46,440
Speaker 1: Well so much that it's a coaching in practice, you know,

981
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:51,520
Speaker 1: you can't. Everything with us is practice. In the pros,

982
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:55,200
Speaker 1: it's not practice, And you've got to get that mindset.

983
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 1: Like John Beeline going through the it's not going to

984
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:03,759
Speaker 1: be that way with Billy. What I'm shocked about is

985
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:05,840
Speaker 1: how much he I never thought he would like the

986
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:08,440
Speaker 1: pros as much as he does because he has that

987
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 1: he looks like a college coach, you know, he goes

988
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:15,760
Speaker 1: about it, but he loves the NBA, loves the NBA.

989
00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 1: Didn't want to go back to college at all. I

990
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:21,759
Speaker 1: called him about the Indiana job, at the Kentucky job.

991
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:23,840
Speaker 1: He could have had them all and no, he is

992
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:27,600
Speaker 1: so he loves the NBA, gets along with his play

993
00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 1: is great. He he had Maury's cheeks with him for

994
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:34,080
Speaker 1: a long time and Maurice helped him a lot.

995
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 4: So you know, he.

996
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 1: He's adjusted really, really well. But some of the other

997
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 1: guys don't adjust to it. They they need to be

998
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 1: an assistant first and find out what it's all about.

999
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:54,920
Speaker 1: And dealing with the NBA athlete. Yeah, are easy to

1000
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:55,279
Speaker 1: deal with.

1001
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 3: All the guys, Uh, well, pretty easy.

1002
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:03,800
Speaker 4: I mean yeah, I gu we have no like actual assholes. Yeah,

1003
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:07,279
Speaker 4: he's an asshole, but not really like we have a

1004
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:10,279
Speaker 4: bunch of good dudes. I mean we have moments so

1005
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 4: that guys like teams do you have moments, but we

1006
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:18,200
Speaker 4: have no like troublemakers.

1007
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:19,479
Speaker 1: One.

1008
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:23,880
Speaker 4: But he's he's he's right. You can you can handle him.

1009
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 1: I mean because eighty two games and playoffs, it's a

1010
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:27,799
Speaker 1: long year with guys.

1011
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 3: It's a lot.

1012
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:32,719
Speaker 4: I mean, you're seeing each other every day, Yeah, and

1013
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 4: it's just not going well. You're knowing to each other.

1014
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:39,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, on the road, you go out with each other sometimes.

1015
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, it just it just all it just all depends

1016
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 3: and it's like we're not like when I got in

1017
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 3: When I first got into the league, I feel like

1018
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 3: it was how's that guys started like like a lot

1019
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:56,960
Speaker 3: of like the older guys were kind of like, you know,

1020
00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:59,720
Speaker 3: it was like that the generation was it was changing.

1021
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:01,799
Speaker 3: Know now like everyone like we just kind of like

1022
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:04,759
Speaker 3: hang out a little bit. A lot of dudes have

1023
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:06,919
Speaker 3: like these things called pogas, which is like you put

1024
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:10,080
Speaker 3: your your PlayStation or whatever, your little gaming council. Then

1025
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:13,759
Speaker 3: you bring that on the plane, you go to your room,

1026
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:16,920
Speaker 3: you're playing video games. I feel like like in the bubble,

1027
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:19,560
Speaker 3: in the bubble, it was there was a couple like

1028
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:23,960
Speaker 3: JJ Mellow, some of like the older guys Caller Quinn,

1029
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 3: like they would go hang out and drink wine and

1030
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:28,319
Speaker 3: then like everyone else was just like in the room

1031
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 3: playing video games. So like now, like the generations, it's different.

1032
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:34,200
Speaker 3: You might go out to dinner or something like this

1033
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:36,960
Speaker 3: kind of hang out, but a lot of time people

1034
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:37,960
Speaker 3: just kind of do their own things.

1035
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:42,239
Speaker 4: I haven't felt the it's to like really go out though, yeah,

1036
00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:49,759
Speaker 4: get tired. I stopped playing because we had a couple

1037
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:53,440
Speaker 4: a couple of dudes cheating, so I was I'm not playing.

1038
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:57,839
Speaker 3: They're playing boo and you know how boo worg gets,

1039
00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:01,560
Speaker 3: so people lose a lot of money. I'll stay away

1040
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:03,160
Speaker 3: from I'll just be chilling on the plane.

00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:34,839
Speaker 5: North Side ne Bille. Favorite moment of your coaching career.

1094
00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:38,560
Speaker 1: Favorite moment I would I would say every single day.

1095
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:42,520
Speaker 1: I just loved coaching. Love. I can't say it's a

1096
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:48,320
Speaker 1: special game, a special moment because every year there's always

1097
00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:52,960
Speaker 1: special moments, there's always down moments. But because my window

1098
00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:55,120
Speaker 1: is closing in. You know, I'm seventy three, I'm not

1099
00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:59,080
Speaker 1: gonna go forever, and I just take every single day

1100
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:01,759
Speaker 1: as if it's special. It's a blessing to me.

1101
00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:07,120
Speaker 4: Thomas Usaka, Rick, would you ever consider coaching in the

1102
00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:10,560
Speaker 4: NBA again? After all these ideals became a factor and

1103
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:14,240
Speaker 4: then next question, do you see Josh or me becoming

1104
00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:15,440
Speaker 4: a head coach at any level?

1105
00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:19,880
Speaker 1: So I I couldn't coach in the pros again. I

1106
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:23,120
Speaker 1: couldn't coach one hundred games again. I don't think I'm

1107
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:25,919
Speaker 1: physically able to do that. I would like to coach

1108
00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:29,440
Speaker 1: back in the euro League again because I love to travel.

1109
00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:32,839
Speaker 1: You know, I've been to Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Berlin. I

1110
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:36,240
Speaker 1: love to travel. I think you guys can just about

1111
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:39,640
Speaker 1: do whatever you want to do coaching wise. You know,

1112
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:42,520
Speaker 1: there's certain guys that I said would never be my

1113
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:49,239
Speaker 1: My graduate assistant from New Jersey called me up and said, look,

1114
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:50,799
Speaker 1: I want to come to Kentucky and be a GA.

1115
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:52,200
Speaker 1: I want to learn the style of play. I want

1116
00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:55,319
Speaker 1: to be a coach, I said, Frank, listen man, go

1117
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:58,880
Speaker 1: to Rutgies, go to Villanova, go to Saint Joe's. Be

1118
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:01,840
Speaker 1: a GA there. I met him at the five Star camp.

1119
00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:05,160
Speaker 1: He decided to no, I want to come. He played

1120
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:08,120
Speaker 1: on a JV team with me. I started a JV team.

1121
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:12,440
Speaker 1: Then he became a manager, a video guy. And it's

1122
00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:13,080
Speaker 1: Frank Vogel.

1123
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:14,280
Speaker 4: Wow.

1124
00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:20,319
Speaker 1: So you know it's it's you be surprised today. You know,

1125
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:22,680
Speaker 1: it's it's from Rick call out to Billy Donovan, to

1126
00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:26,880
Speaker 1: Frank Vogel. Guys that I've been with, uh I drafted

1127
00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:29,920
Speaker 1: Chauncey Phillips and uh, he became a head coach. And

1128
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:34,400
Speaker 1: you never know, you say, some people know they're not

1129
00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:36,960
Speaker 1: going to go into coaching, and they do because they

1130
00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:39,480
Speaker 1: still have a love for the game and it beats

1131
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:42,239
Speaker 1: it beats what they're doing at the time. So I

1132
00:56:42,239 --> 00:56:44,400
Speaker 1: think both of you guys would be terrific coaches because

1133
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:48,480
Speaker 1: you know the game and you're unselfish. You play to win,

1134
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:52,279
Speaker 1: and that's that's most of the keys about coaching. You've

1135
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:54,880
Speaker 1: got to you gotta put winning above everything else, and

1136
00:56:55,200 --> 00:56:57,480
Speaker 1: you do whatever you can to win, even if it's

1137
00:56:58,200 --> 00:57:00,239
Speaker 1: you know, I remember right all back, I'll leave just

1138
00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:02,960
Speaker 1: the red Aback said to me, you know, I'm watching

1139
00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:06,239
Speaker 1: those time outs, your pens going one hundred miles an hour,

1140
00:57:06,320 --> 00:57:09,600
Speaker 1: and why don't you do what I did? Have them

1141
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:12,640
Speaker 1: all stand up in a huddle and say to them,

1142
00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:16,040
Speaker 1: what do you think, guys? What should I run? I said,

1143
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:18,600
Speaker 1: that's what you did. I'd say to Russell, what do

1144
00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:20,480
Speaker 1: you think, Russ? What should we run? I say to Kuzi,

1147
00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:28,800
Speaker 1: they would give it, give it to me, let cuz

1148
00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:31,360

1200
00:59:57,960 --> 01:00:02,080
Speaker 3: don't bring the kids gifts. Everyone gets one gift that

1201
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:05,920
Speaker 3: they get to give the twins and that's it because

1202

01:14:33,840 --> 01:14:37,920
Speaker 5: This is the perfect episode, perfect episode if you asked

1494
01:14:37,920 --> 01:14:41,439
Speaker 5: this question, because we're joined by Stevie and ConA and Set.

1495

Speaker 3: We have Jalen's furry furry friends with us today now.

1496
01:14:45,280 --> 01:14:50,479

1497
01:14:50,520 --> 01:14:51,320
Speaker 4: the lax one.

1498
01:14:51,560 --> 01:14:54,519
Speaker 3: She's very chill, as you can tell if you're watching

1499

Speaker 3: this on YouTube.

1500
01:14:55,400 --> 01:14:58,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, she's very chill as she decides to sit up.

1501
01:14:58,840 --> 01:15:06,680
Speaker 4: But she is the cuddler. She is the lover. She's

1502
01:15:06,760 --> 01:15:10,479
Speaker 4: kind of protector too, So that's ConA. Stevie is a

1503
01:15:10,520 --> 01:15:13,759
Speaker 4: wild card. You didn't ever know what you're gonna get,

1504
01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:16,519
Speaker 4: but he's getting He's almost two, so he's starting to

1505
01:15:16,520 --> 01:15:20,599
Speaker 4: calm down a little bit. But he has the most

1506
01:15:20,720 --> 01:15:23,360
Speaker 4: energy in the world, the most.

1507
01:15:23,880 --> 01:15:27,599

1512
01:15:52,479 --> 01:15:53,560
Speaker 3: to them.

1513
01:15:53,280 --> 01:15:56,280
