Speaker 2: who will submit their brackets later on today that we
Speaker 2: will give you hours by the end of the day.
Speaker 2: I think by tonight we have to have our brackets
Speaker 2: in stat of the day. Rod To was always by
Speaker 2: Panini America, the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show.
Speaker 2: We have covered a lot of ground here. The first
Speaker 2: two hours of the show. Spend some time talking about
Speaker 2: baseball's opening day in South Korea, the Dodgers five to
Speaker 2: two winners over the Padres. Also, the First four continues tonight,
Speaker 2: and you have Colorado versus Boise State, Grambling versus Montana
Speaker 2: State Virginia. They didn't go in like a lamb, out
Speaker 2: like a lion. They got kicked to the curb by
Speaker 2: Colorado State last night. And Wagner gets its first ever
Speaker 2: NCAA Tournament win as they hold on to beat Howard
Speaker 2: don Staley, the South Carolina head basketball coach, will join us.
Speaker 2: Coming up a little bit. Spend some time with RG three,
Speaker 2: the former NFL quarterback. He explained his logic behind saying
Speaker 2: to Caleb Williams, don't go to the Bears. And I
Speaker 2: think the biggest reason why was Matt eber Loose is
Speaker 2: in the final year of his contract the head coach
Speaker 2: of the Bears. You don't want to put him in
Speaker 2: a situation like that. And RG Three's right. If I'm
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams, you want to go in with some kind
Speaker 2: of stability there. You don't have that unless you extend
Speaker 2: your coach. He's going in and you Caleb Williams will
Speaker 2: decide if he keeps his job. If they go seven
Speaker 2: and ten, Matt Eberflus probably gets fired. If they go
Speaker 2: ten and seven, Matt Eberflus probably gets an extension. Can
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams be to the Bears what CJ. Stroud was
Speaker 2: to the Texans last year? Can you get him to
Speaker 2: the playoffs?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 4: Seven wins last year?
Speaker 2: But they had the number one pick because of the
Speaker 2: trade with Bryce Young in Carolina, and Bryce Young was
Speaker 2: in a situation that is reminiscent of what Justin Fields
Speaker 2: was in. You know, you get this guy, you give
Speaker 2: up stuff to get him, and then he failed. It's
Speaker 2: difficult you get rid of his top receiver and you
Speaker 2: expect him to be the savior. And Bryce Young is
Speaker 2: a complimentary kind of quarterback. He will need help. But
Speaker 2: with that help, he as we saw when he was
Speaker 2: at Alabama, he can make plays and he has poise.
Speaker 2: But without it, it doesn't matter. You know, just didn't matter.
Speaker 2: They weren't threatening, and that's the Bears will be a
Speaker 2: good team, I think Now would they be a playoff team?
Speaker 2: I think that will probably decide if their coach gets
Speaker 2: a contract extension or not. But phone calls are welcome
Speaker 2: eight seven to seven to three. DP show email address
Speaker 2: Dpatdanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle at dp show. The Jets
Speaker 2: snagged wide receiver Mike Williams and it's a one year
Speaker 2: deal for Aaron Rodgers. The college football playoff deal with
Speaker 2: ESPN that is finalized yesterday. Clemson is suing the ACC.
Speaker 4: What a mess this is.
Speaker 2: Now, Florida State. You know, college football landscape looks a
Speaker 2: whole lot different than it did a decade ago. So
Speaker 2: you got Big ten SEC, Big twelve ACC dominant conferences.
Speaker 2: But the ACC agreed to this new contract for the
Speaker 2: college football playoffs, but they get twelve percent less than
Speaker 2: the Big ten in the SEC. And maybe it's panic
Speaker 2: mode time in the ACC. The exit fees for Florida
Speaker 2: State and Clemson. Now there's a lawsuit. They're suing their
Speaker 2: own conference. And you know, the PAC twelve has already
Speaker 2: fallen victim to other larger conferences gobbling up their teams
Speaker 2: with USC, Oregon, UCLA, and Washington. The ACC is facing
Speaker 2: some real concerning issues here. But as I've said before,
Speaker 2: if I know, my conference gets two automatic bids to
Speaker 2: be in the twelve team or fourteen team playoff. Why
Speaker 2: would I want to leave that? Granted they're getting twelve
Speaker 2: percent more money in these other conferences, the Big ten
Speaker 2: in the SEC. What is an easier path trying to
Speaker 2: win the ACC or trying to win the Big Ten
Speaker 2: or the SEC. Surviving in the Big ten in the
Speaker 2: SEC or the ACC. I'd stay in the ACC. I'm
Speaker 2: in the playoffs every year I can dominate. Maybe my
Speaker 2: seed will be even higher. We could go undefeated, get
Speaker 2: a first round by then you get a home playoff game.
Speaker 2: That to me makes a whole lot of sense. But
Speaker 2: it felt like Florida State got snubbed. Therefore Florida State
Speaker 2: wants out. Well, Florida State's not going to get snubbed.
Speaker 2: If they have that kind of year this next year,
Speaker 2: they would make the playoffs. Clemson, make the playoffs. That's
Speaker 2: all you want to do, and what gives you an
Speaker 2: easier path playing in the ACC as opposed to the
Speaker 2: SEC of the Big Ten. A couple of phone calls
Speaker 2: in here zul ten in Florida. Hopefully I got that right.
Speaker 5: Good morning, Dan, how are you on this beautiful morning?
Speaker 4: Great? What do you have for me?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Just a quick question. How come a year or so
Speaker 5: against baseball starting in Korea, but Dublin was awesome for
Speaker 5: college football.
Speaker 4: Well, they don't have an opening day in college football.
Speaker 3: All right, don't comeback now.
Speaker 4: I don't know what he was taking a drink of.
Speaker 2: Take that, Patrick, Yeah, I mean this is there's baseball's
Speaker 2: opening day. College football, you have schools that start earlier
Speaker 2: than others. Notre Dame wanted to play over there against Navy. Okay,
Speaker 2: but baseball. How many times do you go, oh, I
Speaker 2: remember who you know opening day and who played the
Speaker 2: first game. In football, chances are you probably don't. But
Speaker 2: with baseball, the fact that it's over there, at least
Speaker 2: you could watch it when it was in Ireland.
Speaker 4: I mean time on this.
Speaker 2: You couldn't three am West Coast time playball six am
Speaker 2: East Coast time. That's all just I think if you're
Speaker 2: if you're going to do it, do it for the
Speaker 2: right reasons. He's a Dodger. Have it available for the
Speaker 2: West coast and they didn't.
Speaker 4: That's him.
Speaker 2: So I've said my piece on it, and maybe I'm
Speaker 2: in the minority here. I would just I think we
Speaker 2: got to be careful with what we do and trying
Speaker 2: to have global expansion while we forget about you know,
Speaker 2: the people here, the people who buy the tickets here
Speaker 2: all the time. Let's see Mitch and Michigan. I'm Mitch,
Speaker 2: what's on your mind?
Speaker 7: Hey?
Speaker 8: But hey, the first time six foot two and twenty
Speaker 8: five pounds a twisted steal sex appeal? Okay, and hey,
Speaker 8: I've gone off topic here, but I know everybody steals
Speaker 8: your show ideas I was learning about you steal somebody else's.
Speaker 8: And with your retirement here in a couple of years,
Speaker 8: what about you hosting on Mondays and letting the dan
Speaker 8: Nettes do Tuesday Wednesday, Thursday Friday, kind of like what
Speaker 8: The Daily Show does with John Stewart.
Speaker 4: Haven't even thought of that, Mitch.
Speaker 2: I just knew that I was going to retire on
Speaker 2: Christmas Eve of twenty twenty seven. But as far as
Speaker 2: what I do after that, I have no idea. I
Speaker 2: just I'll move aside and somebody else can take up
Speaker 2: the airspace here, whether it's the dan Nets and another
Speaker 2: host or they go their separate waves waves. I don't
Speaker 2: think anybody's at that point making that decision, but I
Speaker 2: made the decision. I wanted to make sure I was
Speaker 2: going out on top or at least what I perceive
Speaker 2: is going out on top and you know other things
Speaker 2: that I'd like to do.
Speaker 9: Yeah, poem John Stewart, he left the Daily Show for
Speaker 9: quite a few years decade ors right, and then he
Speaker 9: he's coming back in a not emeritus. That's not fair
Speaker 9: to him, but ay once a week's status.
Speaker 4: Yeah, very cool of him.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I don't know.
Speaker 2: We will see how this all plays out, see how
Speaker 2: I feel, see if we still like each other. Four
Speaker 2: years long time, Lebron James has got a podcast, Mind
Speaker 2: the Game podcast with him and JJ Reddick and Lebron
Speaker 2: James talked about a couple of players and why they're
Speaker 2: so influential.
Speaker 7: Alan Iverson and Steph They were just so relatable and
Speaker 7: kids felt like they could be them. They were there.
Speaker 7: They were guys that was not always counted on. They
Speaker 7: were small in stature and they just defined the odds.
Speaker 7: So you got Ai, who's like unbelievable crossover corn rolls armsleeve.
Speaker 4: We wear armsleeve. Everyone wears arms.
Speaker 7: Sleeve now because Alan Iverson and now you have Steph
Speaker 7: who's shooting over the Empire State Building. Those two are
Speaker 7: the two most influential. When you say the game, how
Speaker 7: they changed the game and the kids, and like, those
Speaker 7: are two guys that you just wanted to watch every
Speaker 7: single night.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we've talked about that. Culturally, Alan Iverson
Speaker 2: he related to a lot of people and was probably
Speaker 2: idolized by a lot of these kids growing up.
Speaker 4: And saying, oh, you know, I can relate to that.
Speaker 2: Having tattoos, the way he played, the way he dressed
Speaker 2: post game, he'd have throwback jerseys on corn Rose. And
Speaker 2: then Steph Curry maybe the most influential modern day player.
Speaker 2: I'll factor in Jordan or maybe I just take him
Speaker 2: out because that's been cultural as well and performance, but
Speaker 2: Steph changed the way people think about playing the game.
Speaker 2: You can want to jump like Michael Jordan, but you can't.
Speaker 2: You can want to shoot like Steph Curry, and chances
Speaker 2: are you got a better chance at that. I can
Speaker 2: attempt where Steph shoots. I can't attempt what Mike was doing.
Speaker 4: Just can't.
Speaker 2: But culturally, Alan Iverson left a you know, a long,
Speaker 2: solid impact that's still being felt on the game. It's
Speaker 2: like there's certain teams and there's certain players like Georgetown basketball.
Speaker 2: I mean, that was that was an impression that was
Speaker 2: left and what John Thompson and Patrick Ewing and the
Speaker 2: way they played and you know, took no prisoners. That
Speaker 2: left a lasting imprint on the sport. UNLV the running rebels,
Speaker 2: you know, Duke with Leytoner and Hurley, that left a
Speaker 2: lasting impression. Like there's certain teams where you go not
Speaker 2: going to forget them for a while because the way
Speaker 2: they play or how they played or who was playing
Speaker 2: for them. And I think when you have players like this,
Speaker 2: what Mahomes is doing now is going to change how
Speaker 2: players play that position, just like Steph Curry. Not everybody
Speaker 2: can do it, but that doesn't mean they won't try
Speaker 2: to do it. Because Mahomes doesn't have the strongest arm,
Speaker 2: he's not the fastest guy, not the biggest guy, but
Speaker 2: he has this nuanced ability to be able to figure
Speaker 2: out what to do, when to do it, how to
Speaker 2: do it. He's clutch and there's something to be said
Speaker 2: for that. Are you born with it? Can you develop it?
Speaker 2: Does it take experience? But he is one of those
Speaker 2: guys culturally who's left an impact on his sport different
Speaker 2: than Tom Brady. Brady is recognized the greatest quarterback of
Speaker 2: all time, but I don't know, if you have quarterbacks going,
Speaker 2: I want to be like Tom Brady, they want to
Speaker 2: be like Patrick Mahomes. Even quarterbacks in this draft. Caleb Williams, Oh,
Speaker 2: he's the next Patrick Mahomes. Jaden Daniels, he can be
Speaker 2: like Patrick Mahomes. So that athleticism and really it's just
Speaker 2: enough athleticism with Mahomes. He has just enough. You know,
Speaker 2: it's almost like Luca from a standpoint of man, how
Speaker 2: does he do that?
Speaker 4: You're watching and you're going, He's not fast, not.
Speaker 2: Strong, but he does everything in an intelligent way, and
Speaker 2: there's something to be said for that. The way you know,
Speaker 2: kids are playing the game now and the way they
Speaker 2: want to play now. You've had quarterbacks who've had, you know,
Speaker 2: side arm deliveries. Rogers has been doing that for his
Speaker 2: entire career. But Mahomes throwing left handed across the field.
Speaker 11: No.
Speaker 2: Look, I mean some crazy things that he's done. But
Speaker 2: it helps when you win, because then Michael Jordan, he's
Speaker 2: not selling these shoes. If he doesn't win those championships,
Speaker 2: he'd be like, he'd be Vince Carter, He'd be like, man,
Speaker 2: that guy is unbelievably athletic. You go okay, and then
Speaker 2: he wouldn't be playing for a championship, but playing for
Speaker 2: a championship and then dominating winning those championships.
Speaker 4: People want to be like Mike. One of the great
Speaker 4: ad campaigns of all time. Be like Mike.
Speaker 2: Let me see Matt in Iowa. Hi, Matt, what's on
Speaker 2: your mind today?
Speaker 12: Yeah, first time caller, six foot two hundred, I figured this.
Speaker 12: This is my first time calling into your show, and
Speaker 12: no better time than to correct an Iowa fan about
Speaker 12: that Caden kid. They did collect one hundred thousand dollars,
Speaker 12: but they did not pay him any. The president of
Speaker 12: the Swarm was actually on the leading show, the local
Speaker 12: leading show for you on KX and O, talking about
Speaker 12: how they did raise the money, but he had to
Speaker 12: go to events and at tend events before they would
Speaker 12: actually pay him out any of the money. So the
Speaker 12: Proctor kid didn't actually get paid anything from this warm Okay.
Speaker 4: Let me get and thank you.
Speaker 2: I know this a big deal in Iowa today, but
Speaker 2: Caden Proctor was a big deal. Early commit to Iowa
Speaker 2: and then last minute decided he was going to go
Speaker 2: to Alabama to play for Nick Saban. Saban retires, then
Speaker 2: he gets in the Portal. Now he's coming back to Iowa.
Speaker 2: Gets back to Iowa. The report was he was offered
Speaker 2: one hundred thousand dollars. He goes on spring break with
Speaker 2: some of his friends at Alabama. They committed, convincing to
Speaker 2: stay at Alabama come back to Alabama. So now he's
Speaker 2: going back to Alabama. So people are up at arms saying,
Speaker 2: what about the one hundred thousand dollars? If you sign
Speaker 2: an NIL deal, it should be a contract. It should
Speaker 2: be year to year. In what you're signing. There should
Speaker 2: be a legal bonding between you two, between the school
Speaker 2: and the athlete. I think that's only fair to both sides.
Speaker 2: So let's say you get there and you're not as
Speaker 2: good as advertised, they want to demote you, they still
Speaker 2: can't take away your NIL money. Or if you go
Speaker 2: there and then decide you don't want to stay and
Speaker 2: you want to leave after three games, then they should
Speaker 2: be able to collect the rest of the money. I
Speaker 2: mean a lot of this is just grown up stuff,
Speaker 2: But there are no grownups now. It's just like we're
Speaker 2: learning something new every day. Where you go, well, what
Speaker 2: do we do or how did that happen? Yeah, Paul
Speaker 2: on KXNO Radio.
Speaker 9: This morning, the CEO of Iowa Swarms Collective, the people
Speaker 9: who handle the NIL, said that this young man, Caden Proctor,
Speaker 9: was never paid anything from them. They had an agreement
Speaker 9: in place, but he had certain things he had to meet,
Speaker 9: whether be going to a charity event or doing something
Speaker 9: for a local business. He did not do those yet
Speaker 9: because he really hadn't got into being an Iowa player yet,
Speaker 9: so he did not get paid by them.
Speaker 2: And that's what I wanted to know. You know, when
Speaker 2: somebody comes up, they got an opinion. I'm like I
Speaker 2: said to Paulie, I said, well you should get some
Speaker 2: context here, just to be fair to the kid. And
Speaker 2: you know, we're finding out, you know, some other details
Speaker 2: there that people are leaving out. Got to be tough
Speaker 2: for that kid to go back to Iowa. I mean,
Speaker 2: just to go back home. I imagine Hawkaie fans got
Speaker 2: to be a little frosty about that. You were going
Speaker 2: you go to Alabama, Now you're coming back, okay, And
Speaker 2: now you decide you're going back to Alabama. That Christmas
Speaker 2: break has to be a little difficult if you're going
Speaker 2: back home.
Speaker 4: Hey, Cayden, how are you? Eh?
Speaker 8: Yah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, pul and.
Speaker 9: That Iowa offense needs every bit of ca. Yeah, doctor,
Speaker 9: they need like him a couple more of them.

Speaker 10: Yeah, yes, Marvin, Oh no, I was just ready for Dawn.
Speaker 10: She was on an episode of Martin.
Speaker 4: Oh she was. How long ago was that?
Speaker 10: Probably ninety five ninety six? I want to say, okay,
Speaker 10: probably ninety six. Okay, the Olympic team.
Speaker 2: But is that one of those where somebody's at the
Speaker 2: door and then everybody applause when they see him like that?
Speaker 4: Do you have the episode there? Yeah?
Speaker 9: So when down Staley was a star player, she was
Speaker 9: on Team USA. Bunch of times whatever. All right, and
Speaker 9: so there's an episode of Martin and Martin. Martin's character
Speaker 9: it's gonna played basketball versus his girlfriend and her friends,
Speaker 9: and all of a sudden, her friends open the door say,
Speaker 9: let's welcome the Olympic to women's Olympic team, and here
Speaker 9: comes Don Staley and Rebecca Lobo and other players.
Speaker 4: Okay, it was awesome.
Speaker 2: Don Staley head coach South Carolina women's team. What do
Speaker 2: you remember about that episode.
Speaker 15: That I'm that I'm more famous for that episode than
Speaker 15: actually my my basketball career.
Speaker 4: No, it's not, but do you.
Speaker 11: Absolutely I actually spoke with Presbyterian, a team that's going
Speaker 11: to play in set a Sacred Heart in the playing
Speaker 11: game tonight. That will be our opponent on Friday. I
Speaker 11: met with I'm actually met with both teams. But when
Speaker 11: I met with Presbyterian, the Martin Show came up.
Speaker 4: And what did they ask you about?
Speaker 15: They asked me, did I appear on it?
Speaker 11: Number one, they knew I did, and then they just
Speaker 11: asked me about, you know, the whole production of it,
Speaker 11: because it's a lot.
Speaker 15: Different than what we do every day.
Speaker 11: It's it's a sitcom, so you're there the entire week
Speaker 11: and then you're just one day you're you're reading your
Speaker 11: lines and that's it, and the next day you just
Speaker 11: you get into different segments of the sitcom. And I
Speaker 11: just thought it was a pretty who processed when when
Speaker 11: we were on that show Martin, it was by far
Speaker 11: the number one show in the country. So that's that's
Speaker 11: one of my highlights.
Speaker 15: Of my career.
Speaker 2: Well, you've been a Hall of Fame coach and basketball player.
Speaker 2: So your second career, you've done a pretty good job there.
Speaker 4: What do I need to have? The one thing that
Speaker 4: I absolutely have to have if I'm going to play
Speaker 4: for you is what.
Speaker 15: Discipline?
Speaker 4: How do you know if I have it or not?
Speaker 11: I mean, just a conversation with with your parent, Okay,
Speaker 11: that's how you tell. Is that relationship that you have
Speaker 11: with your parent is a tell tale sign of whether
Speaker 11: or not a young lady can play for us here
Speaker 11: at South Carolina.
Speaker 15: Because we we're going to ask you to do some
Speaker 15: things that.
Speaker 11: Are are hard, hard, hard, And if you have a
Speaker 11: disciplined parent, they've asked you to do some things that's
Speaker 11: hard that you don't like, but you do it because
Speaker 11: they're asking you to do it, and somewhere down the line,
Speaker 11: you'll appreciate it. Like I had a disciplined mother that
Speaker 11: I didn't like growing up. I didn't like her, but
Speaker 11: I am more like my mother right now than anything,
Speaker 11: And now that I'm responsible for eighteen to twenty two
Speaker 11: year olds, I'm incredibly grateful for the way I grew
Speaker 11: up and the way my mother handled me.
Speaker 4: What did you learn from last year's loss to Iowa.
Speaker 11: I learned sometimes you gained by losing, and that's hard,
Speaker 11: that's hard to take. Last year was hard to take.
Speaker 11: But then you come back this year and we're in
Speaker 11: the same position as far as being undefeated and having
Speaker 11: undefeated under regular season and then conference championship tournament season.
Speaker 11: I mean, basketball is a game that you know it's
Speaker 11: it gives, It gives to those who's loyal to it,
Speaker 11: and I've sacrificed friendships, I've sacrificed a lot, and the
Speaker 11: game continues to give me and how it's God given
Speaker 11: uncommon favor like I couldnt have scripted any better than
Speaker 11: how our team turned out this year until the third
Speaker 11: weekend of the third weekend of our tournament.
Speaker 4: Of course, how do you explain Caitlin Clark?
Speaker 15: How do I explain it?
Speaker 11: I think she's the greatest of her time, of her
Speaker 11: time now, and I don't I don't want to rough
Speaker 11: for anybody's feathers, but I also don't want to. You know,
Speaker 11: we got a rich history of women's basketball, rich rich
Speaker 11: We got to play in Brandon Stewart who won four
Speaker 11: national titles, and you cannot you cannot forget it. Well,
Speaker 11: all the contributors of our game, like Kitlyn Clark's got
Speaker 11: brought a lot of eyes to our game.
Speaker 15: And I'm really grateful for her talent. And I do
Speaker 15: think she's.
Speaker 11: Incredible, like remarkable, eye catching. I mean, she's got great IQ.
Speaker 11: So I got to give it to her, like she
Speaker 11: is definitely a woman that continues continues to grow our game.
Speaker 2: And I go back to Ann Meyer, I go back
Speaker 2: to Nancy Lieberman, Cheryl Miller, you know, Shamik Holds Claw.
Speaker 2: I mean, they're Cynthia Cooper. There's just so many of
Speaker 2: those players. But I do think because of Caitlyn Clark,
Speaker 2: like we're bringing back some of those names because now,
Speaker 2: which is good and they should be. So when somebody
Speaker 2: says is she's the greatest of all time, Well, if
Speaker 2: I'm going to take the person who wins Breonna Stewart
Speaker 2: won four titles and was the most outstanding player in
Speaker 2: all four years, you can't do any better than that.
Speaker 14: You can't.
Speaker 11: So And it's nothing against Caitlyn Clark and all the
Speaker 11: people that love her. Like I'm a basketball enthusiast, I
Speaker 11: love her like I love what she's doing for the game.
Speaker 11: I love when she hits logo threes. I love when
Speaker 11: she hits game winning shots. I mean, all that is
Speaker 11: is tremendous. I watch like I spend a lot of
Speaker 11: time watching Big ten basketball because of her, And that's
Speaker 11: got to be a lot of responsibility for her and
Speaker 11: a lot of pressure for her, and she's handled it
Speaker 11: incredibly well.
Speaker 4: Did you think you could play in the NBA?
Speaker 15: The NBA?
Speaker 4: Yeah, for how long.
Speaker 15: I can play a game like I can play a
Speaker 15: game and hold my own.
Speaker 11: It's just the long stretch of an eighty two game
Speaker 11: season and the wear and tear. Those guys are big
Speaker 11: and strong, and they're the very best for a reason.
Speaker 4: But you had to play against these guys, I'm going
Speaker 4: to guess yeah.
Speaker 11: I mean I played a bit against some NBA guys,
Speaker 11: And I mean you you go up in Philly, you
Speaker 11: think you can do anything in North Philly particularly so.
Speaker 15: So I can say that now sitting here being over fifty.
Speaker 15: You know, after be an Urban Legends.
Speaker 2: Uh, the skirmish with LSU, what role like in the moment,
Speaker 2: what role do you play as a coach?
Speaker 8: You know, I.
Speaker 11: Obviously look at the skirmish a number of times, and
Speaker 11: I looked at myself and I something's off about me,
Speaker 11: because I was totally shocked and I stood there and
Speaker 11: I didn't do anything, and I'm looking at like activate
Speaker 11: like this is kind of you're you're You're supposed to
Speaker 11: be the protector and the peace maker of all things.
Speaker 11: And I was like, it's called off guard.
Speaker 15: I mean, it happens. It happens. It happens in every
Speaker 15: every sport, every sport.
Speaker 11: It just got heightened a little bit because of it
Speaker 11: was a championship, it was on ESPN, and and and
Speaker 11: the officials had to assess the situation and come up
Speaker 11: with a solution. For for me, I just have to
Speaker 11: make sure that one in the moment we had to
Speaker 11: go with what the official said, and then you and
Speaker 11: then you Monday morning quarterback it.
Speaker 15: And I just thought that that that they got some
Speaker 15: things wrong.
Speaker 11: I do all of it because Camilla Cardoso, it's the
Speaker 11: only one that is really paying the price for it,
Speaker 11: when there should have been a you know, a dark
Speaker 11: cloud on a couple of other people as well. If
Speaker 11: we're gonna deem what she was disqualified for, because you
Speaker 11: just can't be disqualified, uh, just as a one woman show.
Speaker 11: If there's if it's deemed the fight. Then the fight
Speaker 11: is not just with one person, it's with the with
Speaker 11: the at least another person, and then you got to
Speaker 11: find out who incited it. But I'm speaking more about
Speaker 11: it than I than I have since the incident, and
Speaker 11: I really want to put it behind. But I also
Speaker 11: want to address the fact that it happens in every
Speaker 11: other sport.
Speaker 15: Don't don't hold women's.
Speaker 11: Basketball to a higher standard than the other sports because
Speaker 11: it's happening there. Unless unless you want to hold us
Speaker 11: in a unless you want to hold us as a sport,
Speaker 11: because a lot of people don't think we are a sport.
Speaker 11: If you're going to hold us to the level of
Speaker 11: everybody else.
Speaker 15: Then it's then it's just what.
Speaker 11: It is, an incident that happened in a highly competitive,
Speaker 11: physical basketball game.
Speaker 2: Talking to Don Staley, Hall of Fame head coach, uh
Speaker 2: a former college player of the Year, Nate Smith coach
Speaker 2: of the Year, I think three times, that's a hell
Speaker 2: of a resume you got there. South Carolina will win
Speaker 2: the national title.
Speaker 4: If what.
Speaker 15: If we don't beat ourselves?
Speaker 4: Did you beat yourself last year?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 11: Yes, I mean listen and again, as coaches we debrief,
Speaker 11: we talk about all the things that contributed to a
Speaker 11: win and a loss. Okay, and I'm gonna bring up
Speaker 11: some things that people probably don't know about. Like we
Speaker 11: were the number one overall seeded. We played on Saturday Monday.
Speaker 11: The other number one seed, which was Virginia Tech, played
Speaker 11: on Saturday Monday. The final four is played on Friday,
Speaker 11: Saturday Monday. In the Sweet sixteen Elite eight, the final
Speaker 11: four and National championship game, they're played on Friday Sunday.
Speaker 11: So those other teams playing on Friday Sunday, they got
Speaker 11: one extra, one extra day of rest going into the
Speaker 11: biggest weekend win. If there's if there's any advantage, it
Speaker 11: should go to at least the number one overall seed
Speaker 11: and at least the number one seed if they're if
Speaker 11: those are the only two that's left.
Speaker 15: So I we did get a rule change with that.
Speaker 11: Now the overall number one seed will play. If there's
Speaker 11: an advantage, we'll play Friday Sunday throughout the entire tournament. Now,
Speaker 11: we we gracked about that, not knowing if we will
Speaker 11: ever beat the overall number one seed again, and we
Speaker 11: find ourselves in that position. So that's that's one thing.
Speaker 11: Another thing, Caitlin Clark did what exactly what we were
Speaker 11: supposed what she was supposed to do in our game plan. Now,
Speaker 11: who who killed us is and I'm probably gonna jack up.
Speaker 11: Her name is sir Na News, sir the big I mean,
Speaker 11: she had about eighteen points and we just didn't factor
Speaker 11: in her being that that productive against us. And and
Speaker 11: then and then Aliah Bossy got in a little bit
Speaker 11: of foul trouble that that to play without her for
Speaker 11: any significant time really hurts our basketball team.
Speaker 4: How's your jumper?
Speaker 15: Fifteen feet? I'm deadly, yeah, fifteen feet, don't know, ask
Speaker 15: me to go further than that.
Speaker 4: But if but if I have to leave you open too, no, no, no,
Speaker 4: I can.
Speaker 15: Create my own shot fifteen feet and then I'm good.
Speaker 4: Are you breaking ankles? Still done? Nokay?
Speaker 7: No no.
Speaker 11: I don't even get in competitive competition with our team
Speaker 11: because they don't.
Speaker 15: They can't control their bodies. You could get hurt easily, easily.
Speaker 2: Good luck in the tournament. Great to catch up with you,
Speaker 2: Thanks for joining, Thank you, appreciate you. That's Don Staling,
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame head coach. She won three gold medals,
Speaker 2: three as a player, one is a coach. WNBA All
Speaker 2: Stars six times, College Player of the Year twice, College
Speaker 2: Coach of the Year three times. It's up to find
Speaker 2: a resume that's better than that in the history of basketball, Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 4: And she's still adding to it.
Speaker 6: Yes he is.
Speaker 4: That team is legit.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 2: They lost every their starting five from last year and
Speaker 2: got a whole new starting five and here they are undefeated,
Speaker 2: number one seed. Be interesting though, if they do run
Speaker 2: into LSU again or IOWA again.
Speaker 10: Yes, Marv, Now, would you be offended if you were
Speaker 10: her and your most known for a cameo on a sitcom?
Speaker 2: I think she's joking a little bit there, I think so.
Speaker 2: I hope so, because she is well decorated and one
Speaker 2: of the greatest player coaches combination of all time comes up.
Speaker 4: Though. Yeah, you know, you know.
Speaker 2: John Wooden was an All American as a player and
Speaker 2: then became one of the greatest coaches of all time,
Speaker 2: but his resume is not the same as Don Staley's.
Speaker 2: We'll take a break last call for phone calls, what
Speaker 2: we learn, what's in store tomorrow after this.
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in
Speaker 1: the nation. Catch all of our shows at foxsports radio
Speaker 1: dot com. And within the iHeartRadio app search FSR to
Speaker 1: listen live, last.
Speaker 2: Call for phone calls, what we learn, what's in store tomorrow,
Speaker 2: all of that in the next fifteen minutes. Here we
Speaker 2: were talking about when proathletes would appear on a sitcom,
Speaker 2: they you would always open the door and they'd be
Speaker 2: there at the door, and then the crowd would start applauding,
Speaker 2: and then they.
Speaker 4: Say, look, it's Joe Namath of the Jets.
Speaker 2: Who's here? Who are some of the other cameos that
Speaker 2: we saw. Yeah, Paul, well, exactly what you said.
Speaker 9: Like when Don Staley and the other players from the
Speaker 9: team Martin Lawrence and is going to go, I'm gonna
Speaker 9: take you down to the court, and I brought some
Speaker 9: of my friends with me.
Speaker 4: It's the USA.
Speaker 9: National basketball team, and the place goes berserved, and so
Speaker 9: the players have to wait to their opening, like Rebecca
Speaker 9: Lobo has We're here, you know, but she has to
Speaker 9: wait till the applause dies down.
Speaker 10: Yes, Marv, And there's a difference between when people know
Speaker 10: you and when they don't. Because if it was the
Speaker 10: Notorious Big had a cameo Martin, he could just open
Speaker 10: up the door. Market just opened up the door and
Speaker 10: they would see that it's Biggie and you start to
Speaker 10: get applause. But for the women's team, it's like, all right,
Speaker 10: we don't know them, so we have to announce who
Speaker 10: they are so they can get an applause.
Speaker 2: Get some phone calls in here Bob and Seattle, Hi, Bob,
Speaker 2: what's on your mind today?
Speaker 16: Ady b.
Speaker 17: Right lead microfracture surgery survivor.
Speaker 8: Okay, and.
Speaker 17: Great interview. By the way, the Caleb Williams subject is
Speaker 17: very interesting, especially by RG three, because he was drafted
Speaker 17: in a really great organization and I don't think he
Speaker 17: was utilized all that great. So I have to respect
Speaker 17: the Bears for actually trying to put a structure in
Speaker 17: place for him. I think it's not such a bad
Speaker 17: place for him to go.
Speaker 7: Well.
Speaker 4: RG three was going to Washington.
Speaker 2: That wasn't a great organization because you start with the
Speaker 2: ownership there and then he remember, he got hurt and
Speaker 2: they played him and I don't think he ever really
Speaker 2: recovered from that. So he was in an organization that
Speaker 2: was dysfunctional. The Bears that the problem I have is
Speaker 2: the same as RG three had, and that's your head
Speaker 2: coach is in the final year of his contract. If
Speaker 2: I'm a rookie quarterback going into a situation, is that
Speaker 2: guy going to be around for, you know, the first
Speaker 2: three or four years of my career. Bill in Chicago, Hi, Bill,
Speaker 2: what's on your mind today?
Speaker 16: Hey Dan? Thanks for having me on.
Speaker 4: Sure.
Speaker 16: Oh great interview with Don Staley. That was interesting. Her
Speaker 16: take on MBA. She could put in one game. So
Speaker 16: will I love your take on Opening Day in Korea?
Speaker 16: Because I mean, why are we growing the sport in
Speaker 16: a country where it's bigger, a bigger sport than in
Speaker 16: the US. Like they don't need growing baseball. We need
Speaker 16: to grow baseball. I think you're ready.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it is big.
Speaker 2: It's their national pastime, and it's truly their national pastime.
Speaker 2: But look, maybe I'm in the minority. I know I've
Speaker 2: been ranting about this, and I shouldn't be ranting. It's
Speaker 2: about global expansion. I understand all of that. That's why
Speaker 2: part of the reason why the Dodgers signed him, because
Speaker 2: he is a global superstar and you want to take
Speaker 2: advantage of that.
Speaker 4: I just play a couple of spring training games over there.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers deserve, the Dodger fans deserved to have opening
Speaker 2: day in La Wish show. Hey with Tunning and so
Speaker 2: Anthony and Florida. Hi Anthony, what's on your mind?
Speaker 6: First time?
Speaker 18: Long time one eighty.
Speaker 1: So I'll tell you.
Speaker 18: I'll tell you one person that agrees with you.
Speaker 12: Damn mad Dog.
Speaker 18: He was on a rant yesterday about the Dodgers playing
Speaker 18: over in Korea. He was on a rant like he so,
Speaker 18: mad Dog's in your corner. So they So I want
Speaker 18: some tickets to the Masters. I won the lottery thing
Speaker 18: where I get the ticket four.
Speaker 16: Tickets to go to the Master.
Speaker 4: I've never been awesome.
Speaker 18: So what's the one thing. What's the one thing I
Speaker 18: need to look at? Go do around the course?
Speaker 2: Well, if you can get there early and set up
Speaker 2: your chair, I would go to one hole. Now, if
Speaker 2: you're there for the entire weekend, I would walk around
Speaker 2: the first day. And it's a lot hillier than what
Speaker 2: you think. It's not flat, and just be prepared. You're
Speaker 2: going to put in steps. If you want to go
Speaker 2: walk the entire course, you'll be tired by the end
Speaker 2: of the day. But I would encourage you. I would
Speaker 2: always put a chair over on sixteen the part three
Speaker 2: and then you saw everybody come in coming through. They
Speaker 2: were important shots because it was the sixteenth pole. You
Speaker 2: could see them teeing off on the seventeenth and you know,
Speaker 2: a friend of mine, you know, we would get there
Speaker 2: early and set up shop there. There's restaurants. T Bones
Speaker 2: was always a favorite of mine. I don't know if
Speaker 2: you can get in. It's always crowded. There's always celebrities there.
Speaker 2: Golfer's there. But I would say get there early, set
Speaker 2: up shop, and load up on souvenirs because they don't
Speaker 2: price gounge you on souvenirs. Everything is really really reasonable
Speaker 2: there Brooks in South Carolina, High Brooks.
Speaker 4: What's on your mind?
Speaker 6: Good morning DP. First of all, that's sexpal music while
Speaker 6: you're on hold, that's just jamming.
Speaker 3: That's great.
Speaker 6: Definitely adds to the show there, but just a different
Speaker 6: perspective on the Clinton Sue and the ACC. Yeah, they
Speaker 6: do have kind of a quasi automatic path to the CFP.
Speaker 6: But just think about a pitch to the recruits. You know, Hey,
Speaker 6: you know the three biggest schools around us in South Carolina,
Speaker 6: South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee. South Carolina's possibly playing Alabama on Saturday.
Speaker 6: Georgia's possibly playing Texas, on Saturday, Tennessee's play in Texas
Speaker 6: A and M. Well, Clinton, you're playing Wake Forest and
Speaker 6: I don't know, just it just seems like jay V
Speaker 6: to me just to kind of stay in the ACC
Speaker 6: if FSU is going to leave.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well how does it sound to recruits when they
Speaker 2: go did you make the playoffs last year?
Speaker 4: And you go, no, we didn't.
Speaker 2: If you're in the ACC, you're making the playoffs. These
Speaker 2: kids are playing in the playoffs, maybe playing for national championship.
Speaker 2: You may not get that opportunity because of the competition
Speaker 2: in the SEC or the Big Ten. Yeah, Florida State
Speaker 2: one's out. Okay, good luck with that. You're going to
Speaker 2: be more highly regarded if you go have that kind
Speaker 2: of season. You go undefeated and you're playing in the
Speaker 2: SEC of the Big Ten. But you're not going to
Speaker 2: go undefeated in the ACC. With the new playoffs, you're
Speaker 2: going to be in the playoffs, the expansion you'll be in,
Speaker 2: so there won't be any more. Hey, we didn't get
Speaker 2: any respect because we play in the ACC. You're guaranteed
Speaker 2: two spots. Pauli dis Day and sports history.
Speaker 9: Got a few. Nineteen sixty eight, Will Chamberlain became the
Speaker 9: first center in NBA history to lead the league with
Speaker 9: assists eight point six average for the season. Nineteen eighty nine,
Speaker 9: it was announced that Cincinnati Reds manager Pete Rose was
Speaker 9: under investigation for gambling doom. Nineteen ninety, the LA Lakers
Speaker 9: retired Kareem Abduljabar's thirty three tough decision there, sure they will,
Speaker 9: that's one of the how how long is that meeting?
Speaker 9: And then last, Lebron James in two thousand and five,
Speaker 9: at age twenty and eighty days, scored fifty points in
Speaker 9: a game. Fifty six points in the game, youngest player
Speaker 9: to fifty.
Speaker 4: You know who the first guard?
Speaker 2: Well, he's not the first guard to lead the league
Speaker 2: in scoring, but in nineteen sixty eight, this guard became
Speaker 2: the first in twenty years to lead the NBA in score.
Speaker 2: It was Dave Bing, one of my favorite players. Underrated
Speaker 2: the average twenty seven a game, Syracuse guy. On this
Speaker 2: date in nineteen sixty five, Gail Goodrid scored forty two.
Speaker 2: UCLA beat Michigan. The Bruins went back to back with
Speaker 2: national championships. And let me see, Oh here's one I
Speaker 2: did not know. Babe Diedrichson Zaharias in nineteen thirty four,
Speaker 2: pitched a hitless inning for the Philadelphia As in a
Speaker 2: preseason game against the Brooklyn Dodgers. Alrighty you go, babe.
Speaker 2: Another babe who was a great athlete, Todd would you
