Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Our two.
Speaker 2: Dan and the Dan Edge Dan Patrick Show, and we'll
Speaker 2: talk to Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo. It's our
Speaker 2: annual get together with coach Izzo. Usually when he's in
Speaker 2: the Sweet sixteen or the Elite eight, he will join us.
Speaker 3: Coming up here in a little bit.
Speaker 2: Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America
Speaker 2: Official Trading Cards of the program SA. Good morning, those
Speaker 2: watching on Peacock, Thank you for downloading the app, our
Speaker 2: streaming partner and our radio affiliates around the country, Danpatrick
Speaker 2: dot com. Everything is on sale. Go take advantage of
Speaker 2: all of the great offers there. You knew it when
Speaker 2: you saw it, if you watched it live, you knew
Speaker 2: Juju Watkins had suffered a severe knee injury. Now we're
Speaker 2: finding out that she did tear her acl. USC did advance,
Speaker 2: but they will have to advance without Juju Watkins as
Speaker 2: she will be out for the rest of the tournament
Speaker 2: and for quite a few months of rehab. Show have
Speaker 2: surgery immediately and they'll try to move on without her.
Speaker 2: And you know, the selection committee did set it up
Speaker 2: that USC was going to play Connecticut in the Elite eight.
Speaker 2: And you know, this was the same philosophy with IOWA
Speaker 2: and LSU last year, where why not wait and let
Speaker 2: them play in the National Champion You want to ensure
Speaker 2: that they get to play. And Iowa and LSU lived
Speaker 2: up to that billing, and we were hoping for another
Speaker 2: rematch with USC and Yukon. Yukon won big last night
Speaker 2: and Paige Becker's her last game, her home game, and
Speaker 2: you know, you start to see because the women are
Speaker 2: there for four years, sometimes five years if they get injured.
Speaker 2: Paige Becker's gone through a couple of surgeries and you
Speaker 2: could see the emotion on Geno Orim's face and I
Speaker 2: you know, it kind of came out of nowhere, but
Speaker 2: he realized right there that she he was saying goodbye
Speaker 2: to her on her home turf at Yukon. And you know,
Speaker 2: when you we see college athletes now, certainly in basketball,
Speaker 2: you're wont and done. So there's not that relationship with
Speaker 2: the fans of the coaches. It's a six month process.
Speaker 2: There you're dealing with years and everything, the highs and
Speaker 2: lows that go into that, and that's where it is
Speaker 2: a business. But then there's still that personal attachment that
Speaker 2: you see with some coaches, some players, a community. Then
Speaker 2: you saw that with Paige Becker's last night. But she
Speaker 2: gets to continue to play while Juju Watkins is out
Speaker 2: for well quite some time. You know, it's probably seven
Speaker 2: months having torn an acl but I wasn't coming back
Speaker 2: to anything.
Speaker 3: You know, it's a long, long process.
Speaker 2: And as great as she's been the face of the sport,
Speaker 2: all of these commercials. You know, I'm watching this morning,
Speaker 2: she's there with the you know, they're they're promoting March
Speaker 2: Madness for the women. She's got a State Farm commercial,
Speaker 2: got a Nike commercial. I mean, she is a This
Speaker 2: is one of those not just a basketball player, She's
Speaker 2: more than that. And playing in Los Angeles, she had
Speaker 2: become the face of the sport and she brought out celebrities,
Speaker 2: you know, Jayden Daniels coming out this year. You know,
Speaker 2: she's that kind of magnetic personality talent. Yes, Marvin, if
Speaker 2: you're the.
Speaker 4: Head of women's college basketball at the NCAA, what do
Speaker 4: you guys do as far as focusing your attention on
Speaker 4: another player like Hadalo from Notre Dame, Like, what do
Speaker 4: you guys? Doo just focus on South Carolina as a whole.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean, do you change your focus to go more
Speaker 2: Connecticut centric?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 2: South Carolina doesn't have that one. They have a lot
Speaker 2: of players that's really their coach LSU. It's about their
Speaker 2: coach for the most part, although they do have the Johnson. Yeah,
Speaker 2: she's a talent, she's personality, got a music career. You know,
Speaker 2: she's a good basketball player. You know, bets at UCLA.
Speaker 2: But you know, I don't know how ESPN is going
Speaker 2: to sell this spin this now and be because it
Speaker 2: was going to be about Juju Watkins that she was
Speaker 2: going to be leading her team to a national championship.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Pauline, Yeah, FLA J.
Speaker 6: Johnson for LSU. She's on a lot of ads. She's
Speaker 6: in like a financial services ad and like how to
Speaker 6: manage your money And it's not in theory. She's actually
Speaker 6: dealing with this at at twenty years old.
Speaker 2: All right, age seven seven three d P show email
Speaker 2: address Dpadanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle at dp show. We
Speaker 2: stumbled upon a is your school a basketball school or
Speaker 2: a football school? You may want your school because I
Speaker 2: was thinking of Arkansas. Arkansas they want to be a
Speaker 2: football school, but they're a basketball school. You're in SEC
Speaker 2: country and you desperately want to be a football school.
Speaker 2: I get it, but you're not. You know, Kentucky is
Speaker 2: a basketball school. If they've had success in football, they
Speaker 2: want to be a basketball school. They're fine with being
Speaker 2: a basketball school. Indiana would like to be a basketball school.
Speaker 3: Again.
Speaker 2: It's sort of like, wait a minute, come on, football team,
Speaker 2: don't get too good because we don't even make the
Speaker 2: tournament here. But yeah, so everybody getting territorial here. I
Speaker 2: don't want to hear about. Well, Arkansas back in the
Speaker 2: sixty you know, nineteen sixty nine playing for a national
Speaker 2: championship in football, Yeah, I got it. Or Jerry Jones
Speaker 2: and Jimmy Johnson played for I get it. With that,
Speaker 2: I would say, Nolan Richardson, you know Eric Musselman now
Speaker 2: coach Cown. I mean that was the point. You're looking
Speaker 2: at Arkansas in the sweet sixteen and they're a basketball school.
Speaker 2: I mean, there's no shame in it. Like you have
Speaker 2: to cut an Oregon. Oregon to me is a football school,
Speaker 2: even though they're having more success. It feels like basketball wise,
Speaker 2: USC football school but not having great success as a
Speaker 2: football school. But historically I'm talking about now like it
Speaker 2: is Utah. Utah's a football school, right, Arizona basketball school,
Speaker 2: Florida State football school, even though they haven't been. Here's
Speaker 2: one North Carolina. North Carolina basketball school or football school.
Speaker 3: Marvin basketball.
Speaker 4: Okay, they've won national titles in the last ten years.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Paul, overwhelmingly basketball, but the coverage lately is about
Speaker 6: their football team positively.
Speaker 2: South Carolina women's basketball. No, I know that's what they
Speaker 2: might be known for. But are they a football scho
Speaker 2: or a basketball school?
Speaker 7: Well, just you don't need to say women's it's just
Speaker 7: a basketball school, okay, because that would include the women's.
Speaker 4: Okay, Well, they're terrible in men's basketball, so that's why
Speaker 4: I only said the women they're average.
Speaker 2: They although they were one of the two teams out
Speaker 2: of the SEC that didn't make the tournament. Jamie, that's embarrassing,
Speaker 2: Jamie in Iowa. I mean, yes, of course, everybody made
Speaker 2: it but us.
Speaker 8: Hey Jamie, Hey, morning fellas.
Speaker 9: That was my question.
Speaker 10: That's ironically, you guys are talking about juju and then
Speaker 10: you bring up women's basketball, because that's what I was
Speaker 10: going to ask. I wanted to hear your opinion is
Speaker 10: like South Carolina when you think of Don Staley, do
Speaker 10: you think of South Carolina as a football school or
Speaker 10: a women's basketball school? Or like last year when our
Speaker 10: women went on a couple runs. Were we a football
Speaker 10: school in Iowa? Or were we a women's basketball school?
Speaker 2: You were a women's basketball school the last couple of years.
Speaker 2: Uh plus you were seeing so much offense on the
Speaker 2: women's basketball team and no offense on the football team.
Speaker 3: No way, too soon? Yeah, all right, thank you? Vin
Speaker 3: in Kansas? Hi, Vin, Hey, good one, guys.
Speaker 11: How are you doing so? I'm calling as a Kansas
Speaker 11: State graduate. You know, up until Bill Schneyer, K State
Speaker 11: was just a basketball school, and now I consider it's
Speaker 11: probably a football school. Likewise, my arch enemy KU hasn't
Speaker 11: really been able to produce a football team, even though
Speaker 11: they spent money on it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Kansas is still a basketball school, you know, as
Speaker 2: long as Bill self is there k State, I'd say
Speaker 2: a football school.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I m'd say a football school. Shuffles in Phoenix
Speaker 3: High Shuffles, Morning.
Speaker 5: Morning, Pat. I've never called into the Pat Patrick Show,
Speaker 5: but this is awesome and I want to I'm here
Speaker 5: to say it was which I'm a fan of and
Speaker 5: I know Dan, you and Marvin want to disparage them,
Speaker 5: but I think Arizona is a football school during football
Speaker 5: season and a basketball school during basketball season.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, you can't do it that way. Shuffles and
Speaker 2: I don't disparage Arizona. Arizona does a good job disparaging
Speaker 2: themselves when it comes to basketball.
Speaker 5: We should have three national championships. I don't know what
Speaker 5: happened in nineteen ninetyears and in nineteen and two thousand
Speaker 5: and one, Mike Dunleavy Junior went off on the Steph
Speaker 5: Curry before Steph Curry, I don't even know where Mike
Speaker 5: Dunleavy Junior. It is not that that should have never happened.
Speaker 5: We should have had three national championships.
Speaker 3: No, but you, but you don't. You don't.
Speaker 2: Mike Dunleavy Junior is the GM of the Golden State Warriors.
Speaker 3: Yes, Tod, I think they stopped giving up.
Speaker 12: They should have awards a long time ago.
Speaker 2: That we should have won quite a few sports that man, right, Yeah, yeah, Paul.
Speaker 6: The job you want is a football coach at a
Speaker 6: basketball school. So let's say you're the full Paul coach
Speaker 6: of Kentucky. You win eight games, everyone's happy. No one's
Speaker 6: gonna get upset. Mark, Stoops, how long has he He's
Speaker 6: been there twelve years? Stoops. There it is at Kentucky.
Speaker 6: And he'll go five and seven, seven and six. Then
Speaker 6: he'll throw out a ten and three. Yeah, everyone's happy
Speaker 6: and he gets an extension.
Speaker 3: It's like being the head football coach at Duke.
Speaker 2: Yes, you know, it's like, oh, look at you what
Speaker 2: you guys did, like, you know, you pat him on the.
Speaker 3: Head, look at what you did? Just be above five hundred.
Speaker 7: Yeah, those schools are like, hey, I think we got
Speaker 7: a guy this year that's actually pretty good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, like it's nice.
Speaker 12: Bubbled up like I think we got a guy this year.
Speaker 3: I think we got a guy named Danny Dimes. Yeah, yes, yes, Mark.
Speaker 4: Remember a few years back, Kansas went to the Orange
Speaker 4: Bowl and I was like, Kansas, Oh, get out of here.
Speaker 4: Give that guy a lifetime extension please.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like you got to go back to the
Speaker 2: Gaels Sayers days like Kansas, Yeah, heck you uh, let
Speaker 2: me see Aiden in Utah, Aiden in Utah.
Speaker 13: Hey, man, how's it going? First and foremost, University of
Speaker 13: Utah is a ski school. Okay, sixteen national championship, yeah,
Speaker 13: I do. We want seventh straight. Okay, My bad.
Speaker 2: Aid Aiden, My apologies, My apologies. I didn't realize how dominant, yeah,
Speaker 2: that they've been in skiing.
Speaker 13: Thank you.
Speaker 2: Okay, I think he accepted my apology. They're the UCLA
Speaker 2: basketball of skiing, Utah, My bad should have known that.
Speaker 2: Although if you ask the athletic director, what do you
Speaker 2: want to be known as? You know, we're the skiing school,
Speaker 2: or do you want to be known as a football school.
Speaker 2: We want we're going to change our name to ski
Speaker 2: You Jim in Michigan and people are getting territory oriel here.
Speaker 2: Hey Jim, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 13: Not too much?
Speaker 14: Dan, A good morning. Uh, you know Michigan, and I'm
Speaker 14: gonna say Michigan Football school. And not even just because
Speaker 14: you know, even though we're playing great basketball right now,
Speaker 14: when you hear the word Michigan, you automatically think of
Speaker 14: the big House.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think of the helmets. Yeah. Absolutely. Let me
Speaker 3: see Caleb in Augusta.
Speaker 9: Hi, Caleb, Hi, Dan six two two sixty And question
Speaker 9: for you and the boys, how many championships would Bill
Speaker 9: Belichick have to win at UNC for it to be
Speaker 9: considered a football school over a basketball school.
Speaker 3: One, thank thank you, k Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yes, if Bill Belichick wins a championship in North Carolina,
Speaker 2: they're a.
Speaker 3: Football school.
Speaker 4: Out of Carolina.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, they may not want that, but they would be
Speaker 2: viewed as they would be viewed as a football made.
Speaker 12: Michael Jordan that they're never going to be a football school.
Speaker 3: Ever, they didn't make Michael.
Speaker 12: The football team is wearing a Jordan logo.
Speaker 3: They kept Jordan down. Yes, they didn't make him. They
Speaker 3: kept him down.
Speaker 4: Never will Carolina be a football Never.
Speaker 12: They could win three straight and they're still If.
Speaker 2: North Carolina won three straight national titles in football, yes, yeah.
Speaker 2: But the basketball team, you know, they just barely they
Speaker 2: limped in. They trickled into the first four, yes, mark, But.
Speaker 4: They went to the final four in twenty twenty two,
Speaker 4: so it's not like they've been on a forty year downside.
Speaker 3: Okay, So when's their last national title.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say twenty seventeen.
Speaker 6: Okay, yes, Paul, Yeah, North Carolina in the past twenty
Speaker 6: five years had two seasons with ten or more winks.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: If they won a title in football, they'd be like
Speaker 6: renting themselves as like a temp as a football and
Speaker 6: like a holding pattern til basketball took over.
Speaker 3: Be a pretty big deal.
Speaker 2: If they won a national title at North Carolina, You
Speaker 2: got that right.
Speaker 7: I'm I'm just putting it would be a pretty like
Speaker 7: a devastating blow to nil. Actually, we'd be like, oh, okay,
Speaker 7: now nil has gone too far.
Speaker 3: If these dudes are winning.
Speaker 7: If this school is winning a national championship in football,
Speaker 7: we need to curb nil right now.
Speaker 2: Look, if Belichick's girlfriend is running the collective, they're going
Speaker 2: to win. She's gonna make some deals. She's gonna get
Speaker 2: some things done there behind the scenes, guaranteed. I mean,
Speaker 2: if you get Bill Belichick to lie on his back
Speaker 2: on the beach and hold you up like you're an airplane,
Speaker 2: she can do anything. It's like, hey, Bill, Yeah, how
Speaker 2: about you lie on your back and we let something
Speaker 2: go viral?
Speaker 3: What's viral? No, it'll go all around the internet. Oh
Speaker 3: so it's not something I have wrong with me? A condition?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 3: No, no, you wanted to go viral.
Speaker 2: Okay, you lie on your back in the sand with
Speaker 2: your shorts on and those big muscular thighs and then
Speaker 2: you hold me up and then I'm gonna be like,
Speaker 2: I'm flying.
Speaker 3: Okay if she can get him to do that, come on, Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 6: Bill's girlfriend would be like, who's Michael Jordan is that?
Speaker 3: It seems you know his name is the same as
Speaker 3: the Jordan brand. Imagine that you played basketball.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, let me take a break. Tom Iszo
Speaker 2: is going to join us.

Speaker 2: see Pat in South Carolina? Hi, Pat, what's on your
Speaker 2: mind today?
Speaker 5: Hello?
Speaker 8: Man six four hard two thirty hard. I am also
Speaker 8: a three time dd C club member and want to
Speaker 8: wait in on the Tennessee being definitely a football tool.
Speaker 8: But I have a Sat of the Day boy too.
Speaker 3: Okay, here we go with the stat of the Day.
Speaker 8: Tennessee is the only program in the country with a
Speaker 8: top ten in football, basketball, and baseball.
Speaker 2: All right, Sat, They brought to you by a Panini America,
Speaker 2: the official trading cards of The Dan Patrick Show sixteen
Speaker 2: times to the Sweet sixteen his yearly visit with The
Speaker 2: Dan Patrick Show. He is Hall of Famer Tom Izzo
Speaker 2: joining us on the program. What's your schedule today?
Speaker 16: My schedule. I got in here about seven, seven thirty
Speaker 16: and had a little film work, answered some texas and
Speaker 16: then talk to my staff about what we're going to
Speaker 16: do in practice and get a press conference in a
Speaker 16: little bit, some more staff meeting and then practice. That's
Speaker 16: my day.
Speaker 3: How's the voice?
Speaker 16: It's great? Great. Get a little sleep. He got a
Speaker 16: little sleep last night for the first time night before.
Speaker 16: Not much. But it's the same as every other coach,
Speaker 16: and just I'm a little older than some of them.
Speaker 2: The balance of coaching this week and the transfer portal,
Speaker 2: how do you focus on one when you need to
Speaker 2: and the other one when you need to.
Speaker 16: Yeah, you know, I'm putting everything towards my team. I
Speaker 16: owe them to that. I think, you know, recruiting is
Speaker 16: very important. The transfer portal to me isn't as important yet,
Speaker 16: but recruiting is very important. And yet my old boss
Speaker 16: used to have a theory says, problem with young assistants.
Speaker 16: They spend so much time getting the next player, they
Speaker 16: forget to take care of the one they got. And
Speaker 16: I think there's some validity to that. You know, there's
Speaker 16: a happy medium. My happy medium when you get to
Speaker 16: the sweet sixteen and on is you know, you don't
Speaker 16: always get here. So everything's going to be from my team,
Speaker 16: the players on my team. We'll let everybody else worry
Speaker 16: about the transfer portal. Hopefully winning helps somebody, even though
Speaker 16: you and I know it doesn't. It's all about the
Speaker 16: money now. But that's okay too.
Speaker 2: But help me with the philosophy of recruiting, because you
Speaker 2: don't have many one of don's, like Jason Richardson, was
Speaker 2: a one and done. I don't do you go at
Speaker 2: you know, do you try to go after the one
Speaker 2: and donners or do you have that philosophy of I'll
Speaker 2: take the guy who might stay here three or four years.
Speaker 3: No, I'd love to.
Speaker 16: Have Jared Jackson, Miles Bridges, you know, where guys Gary
Speaker 16: Harris that we're one in two years and done, and
Speaker 16: you know, you got to have some those kind of
Speaker 16: talented players, you know, to do that. But no, I
Speaker 16: don't shy away from that at all. It's just they're
Speaker 16: not as easy to get, you know, for the most part,
Speaker 16: A lot of those programs, you know, Duke and Kentucky
Speaker 16: has had more of those kind of players. Maybe Kansas some,
Speaker 16: but I don't think there's as many programs as you
Speaker 16: think there are that are getting those kind of players.
Speaker 3: How do you coach differently in March than November?
Speaker 16: You know, I don't think I coached that much differently.
Speaker 16: I just think that there's kind of a culture and
Speaker 16: a feel here that when it comes to February, everybody
Speaker 16: knows the NCAA tournament. We've had some success in it,
Speaker 16: and I think I think the players that come here
Speaker 16: expect everything to be ratcheted up a little bit as
Speaker 16: you get to the end of the year, and it's exciting.
Speaker 16: It's not a you know, like my players after we
Speaker 16: won on Sunday, The first thing they said in the
Speaker 16: locker room, because usually we give them Monday off, is
Speaker 16: let's practice Monday. That came from the players, you know,
Speaker 16: so they know what time of year it is and
Speaker 16: they know what they got to do.
Speaker 2: Is Michigan State a football school or a basketball school?
Speaker 16: It's a football school, which I think ninety percent of
Speaker 16: these schools are. You know, we all I have such
Speaker 16: a great relationship with all the football guys here. I've
Speaker 16: always had a great relationship with them because I realized
Speaker 16: that they're still making seventy percent of the money. What
Speaker 16: I think is unique about Michigan State, and there's a
Speaker 16: couple of schools that have this, is we've been pretty
Speaker 16: successful in both. You know, nine years ago we both
Speaker 16: went to a Final four. Those are what's really exciting
Speaker 16: about schools like this.
Speaker 2: Ever coached again a coach that you don't like, Like.
Speaker 16: Sure, sure you do, even though I get along with
Speaker 16: most of the coaches, But there's coaches I wouldn't say
Speaker 16: don't like. Maybe I didn't respect as much because the
Speaker 16: things that were going on. Now that's changed now because
Speaker 16: we don't have any rules anymore. So you know, it's
Speaker 16: easier now I can like everybody.
Speaker 2: Okay, but if you know such, so are we talking
Speaker 2: about if somebody was cheating, Like you're going to face
Speaker 2: somebody and you know they were cheating, that's when you
Speaker 2: have that.
Speaker 3: I don't respect you.
Speaker 16: That's what I have privately. I don't share that publicly
Speaker 16: very often.
Speaker 2: But I mean, but what's it like in the handshake line?
Speaker 2: You don't walk by and go cheater and then just
Speaker 2: good game, good game, good game, cheater, good game, good game.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 16: I don't do that at all. I think I respect
Speaker 16: every coach I go against because even the guys that
Speaker 16: I thought were doing stuff back in the day, I
Speaker 16: know how hard these jobs are. And Judge used to
Speaker 16: say the game makes fools of us all. Well, that
Speaker 16: there's some truth to that.
Speaker 2: When's the last time you ask Magic Johnson to help
Speaker 2: you with the recruit.
Speaker 16: I'll ask them all the time, but I really don't
Speaker 16: have to ask him. You know, he's always tweeting out
Speaker 16: something or he's saying something, and you know, now they're
Speaker 16: actually allowed to help you legally. Yeah, if you come
Speaker 16: to campus and they get there. It used to be
Speaker 16: where you know, if you had a football game and
Speaker 16: just happened a Magic seats were behind the recruit seat,
Speaker 16: but now you can sit them right with them as
Speaker 16: long as they're on campus. But you know, Magic's been great.
Speaker 16: I mean a lot of the former players that I
Speaker 16: coached have been great with it, and it helps when
Speaker 16: you have but Jason Richardson, Jace Richardson, the son of
Speaker 16: a player that's getting good. I'm going for grandsons though.
Speaker 2: Now, yeah, how much longer you got these coaches who
Speaker 2: are saying I can't, I don't want to do it anymore.
Speaker 2: You know, it's transfer portal nil and it's just not
Speaker 2: the way it once was. So what's motivating you to
Speaker 2: continue to do this stubbornness?
Speaker 16: To be honestly, it's total stubbornness. I still love what
Speaker 16: I do. I don't like what has gone on. I
Speaker 16: don't think anybody does, to be very honest with you,
Speaker 16: and you know, some say it, some don't say it.
Speaker 16: But right now I've taken a better, better stance with myself.
Speaker 16: For a couple of years, I was on all those
Speaker 16: committees and I just kind of gotten off where I
Speaker 16: don't worry about my team and not worry about all
Speaker 16: the things that I can't control. And unfortunately, nobody can
Speaker 16: control what's going on right now. There is no control.
Speaker 16: That saddens me for our profession. But it is what
Speaker 16: it is. So I when in Rome do like the Romans.
Speaker 2: You know, it sounded like a grumpy old man, get
Speaker 2: off my lawn. Where you were talking about playing games
Speaker 2: after ten o'clock on the West coast.
Speaker 3: In the tournament, it was rumty.
Speaker 16: I just think it's very difficult to do that. You know,
Speaker 16: we do, Dan, I don't know what you did at Dayton,
Speaker 16: but we do go to school here too. You know
Speaker 16: we are a student athlete.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we never did that at Dayton.
Speaker 16: I know, I know, I understand that. But when you
Speaker 16: get back at three in the morning, now you gotta prep.
Speaker 16: It's just more difficult. I understand that TV pays the bills.
Speaker 16: I love all the TV people, so I got I
Speaker 16: got no problem. But it does get to wear on
Speaker 16: you sitting there all day and that it's one part
Speaker 16: I'd like to see changed a little bit. But it
Speaker 16: is what it is. So I I don't think I
Speaker 16: sounded grumpy about it. I expressed my opinion, but you
Speaker 16: express your opinion all the time.
Speaker 3: Grumpy. Yes, I'm gonna get off my line.
Speaker 2: Guy, I think this had to do with your bedtime,
Speaker 2: and that's what you were bothered by.
Speaker 1: Now, I don't go to sleep now listen with the
Speaker 1: Dratsford Bortal.
Speaker 16: You don't go to sleep everthon, you got to You've
Speaker 16: got to go over and sit with your players, make
Speaker 16: sure nobody's flying.
Speaker 2: Do you have your phone on vibrate? Yeah, by your bed? Yeah,
Speaker 2: okay after midnight? Oh yeah, all the time. I mean,
Speaker 2: you never know what's going to happen. You know, there's
Speaker 2: a lot of things that happened. But but if you
Speaker 2: had to bail somebody out of jail or anything like that,
Speaker 2: have I had to in the past.
Speaker 16: There's things like that that happened. Yeah, you know, sometimes
Speaker 16: it's not always for bad things, you know, parking tickets
Speaker 16: and he gets picked up or something. But yeah, any
Speaker 16: coach that tells you they don't have their phone on
Speaker 16: at night or they sleep probably lying to you.
Speaker 2: Single best player you ever coached against was who.
Speaker 16: Ah boy. You know, when I was an assistant shack,
Speaker 16: we played against I played against grand Hill. I thought
Speaker 16: was one of the greatest players. But boy, that's a
Speaker 16: loaded question, and I'm not saying that against anybody they're
Speaker 16: just man when you're at this level. He played against
Speaker 16: a lot of great players.
Speaker 3: What was the scouting report on Shock? Really big? I
Speaker 3: was just a GA back then.
Speaker 16: That was in my early days, and I remember telling
Speaker 16: jud Boy, that guy's a big guy, you know. But
Speaker 16: he was good.
Speaker 10: He was good.
Speaker 3: I like Shack, but you knew who was so good?
Speaker 3: Was Chris Jackson?
Speaker 16: He was?
Speaker 3: He was good more more my size too.
Speaker 16: That's why I should like a lot more.
Speaker 3: But he was.
Speaker 2: I mean, imagine him in today's game. He would he
Speaker 2: would break you off the I mean off the dribble crossover.
Speaker 2: And he was so quick with that jumper.
Speaker 16: Yeah, and he could shoot it from long range. So
Speaker 16: he probably would fit in since the three is more
Speaker 16: prevalent now. I don't even think the three had just
Speaker 16: come in then. It was right around that time because
Speaker 16: I know we had Scott Skyles and we didn't have
Speaker 16: a three point shot then that was an eighty six.
Speaker 2: Now, help me, is the story true about Scott Scounds
Speaker 2: and John Thompson?
Speaker 16: Uh?
Speaker 3: The it was Actually it was in Dayton yet that
Speaker 3: at the tournament, right.
Speaker 16: Yeah, there was nothing bad with John Thompson, but they
Speaker 16: really got after him. The first half, and uh, I
Speaker 16: think Scott was zero for nine and I just remember
Speaker 16: that halftime. He was sitting in there and uh, We're
Speaker 16: playing Georgetown, and I mean he was seating, you know,
Speaker 16: and he played really good the second half. He woned.
Speaker 16: So you know, Scott had a tendency to talk stuff,
Speaker 16: but uh, tell you what, he was a help player?
Speaker 3: Did he did?
Speaker 2: He say to Thompson while dribbling the ball to John
Speaker 2: on the sidelines, why didn't you get somebody bleeping out
Speaker 2: here who can guard me?
Speaker 16: Did he guard me?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 16: You know, I didn't hear it. I heard about it,
Speaker 16: but I do believe it. I do believe it. It was.
Speaker 16: It was one of the things that Scott was. He
Speaker 16: was good at but he backed up what he said.
Speaker 16: So you got to give him credit there.
Speaker 2: Uh, great to talk to you again. I'll talk to
Speaker 2: you next year at this time, all right.
Speaker 11: You and I'm still going to be here.
Speaker 3: I will be were you to be in a transfer portal?
Speaker 16: Are you going somewhere else?
Speaker 3: I got three more years? Do you have three more years?
Speaker 16: I got seven?
Speaker 3: You're gonna be there seven more years?
Speaker 16: Oh? I got seven on my contract?
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you guys don't live up to those contracts.
Speaker 16: Well, do you live up the years?
Speaker 3: Yes, I'm my boss.
Speaker 16: You know what, my money because I do enjoy you.
Speaker 16: You're crazy in your own way, but so am I. Someday,
Speaker 16: when we're done, we'll play golf and get along.
Speaker 2: I would like to play one on one with you
Speaker 2: in basketbare you go. I'm going to slap the floor
Speaker 2: just to let you know I'm gonna lock you down.
Speaker 3: Coach.
Speaker 2: You can bring in Steve Maryuci if you want to.
Speaker 2: I don't care.
Speaker 16: I'm breaking Mooch.
Speaker 3: He didn't scare me. Mooch doesn't scare me either.
Speaker 16: Well, I appreciate you having me on Dan, and you
Speaker 16: have a good rest of the tournament. I'll try to
Speaker 16: do the same.
Speaker 2: All right, coach. That's tom Is Hall of Famer. They
Speaker 2: got ole miss or what was it who called it
Speaker 2: olay miss? Somebody back at ESPN. Their mother was in
Speaker 2: a bracket challenge and maybe it was it feel the
Speaker 2: show Killer's mom. It was who said, oh, I'm going
Speaker 2: to take Olay miss Olay.
Speaker 3: Olay, Olay.
Speaker 2: Let me see Peter in Colorado. Yeah, I've known Izzo
Speaker 2: a long long time.
Speaker 17: Hey Pete, Hey guys, so I have not called into
Speaker 17: your show probably ever, but I've been listening to you
Speaker 17: since you were for thirty years or something like that.
Speaker 17: So I called in and it brought me to an
Speaker 17: automated message and I asked if I was fifty years
Speaker 17: or older, and I was like, that seems weird, but okay.
Speaker 17: And then there was another automated voice that came on
Speaker 17: and asked me if I told me I could get
Speaker 17: a medical alert bracelet for a great price right now.
Speaker 17: So I called eight eight eight three DP show and
Speaker 17: I thought maybe you were fritzy, because.
Speaker 3: I might enjoy that. But my real question was, yes.
Speaker 17: My real question, I'm from Minnesota, So what what school
Speaker 17: is Minnesota?
Speaker 3: I didn't even know.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna take hockey. They're known for hockey. But
Speaker 2: if you say if this is basketball or football, I
Speaker 2: would probably say football. Got a charismatic coach there, but yeah,
Speaker 2: you're a hockey school.
Speaker 3: Definitely. Chris in New Jersey, Hi, Chris, what's on your mind?
Speaker 13: Hey Dan?
Speaker 17: Thanks for taking my call?
Speaker 18: Yep, I got to bring up the Florida Gators. You
Speaker 18: know they go back they go football, two titles with
Speaker 18: Tim Tebow and then you go back to back with basketball,
Speaker 18: not to mention he and then he threw in baseball
Speaker 18: I think within like a five year period there and
Speaker 18: then plus al Horford is still repping that Florida Gators
Speaker 18: championship at a high I mean, come on, thanks thinking
Speaker 18: my call.
Speaker 8: Guys.
Speaker 2: Wait, I didn't dispute anything with Florida, Chris, what what's
Speaker 2: the argument on?
Speaker 11: No?
Speaker 18: No, I was just saying, because that seems like everyone's
Speaker 18: getting a little heated bringing up like different sports, So
Speaker 18: I just had to throw in Florida there that they're
Speaker 18: kind of they did like a powerhouse move there for
Speaker 18: all three sports at one point.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, we brought that up with Urban and
Speaker 2: Billy Donovan. Now are they more of a basketball school
Speaker 2: than a football school? I mean, you still think of Florida,
Speaker 2: I think of Florida football. But it's and it's you
Speaker 2: can be too close to it. You can be an
Speaker 2: alum and you can say, oh no, we're this. I'm
Speaker 2: just saying from a national perspective from the outside looking in.
Speaker 2: When you say this school, you think of what athletically.
Speaker 2: If I say UCLA, you think.

Speaker 2: Gotta have your name end in a vow? Marvin, what
Speaker 2: about you?

Speaker 3: Eight?
Speaker 6: Paul, this is a toughie and I wrote it. Calipari.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say Calipari two. I think.
Speaker 2: So I'm trying to figure where am I going to
Speaker 2: have some fun? I mean, really, that's what it's come
Speaker 2: down to.
Speaker 3: Yes, you know.
Speaker 7: Two like, uh, he just seems to be a father
Speaker 7: figure that I'm comfortable with. Count Berry, Yeah, okay, yeah,

Speaker 7: If you're going to sort of help me raise my son,
Speaker 7: I'm cool with you doing that.
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, I just don't want to get yelled at.
Speaker 2: That's all I got yelled at when I went to
Speaker 2: Eastern Kentucky.
Speaker 3: I don't want to get yelled at anymore.
Speaker 2: Yukon is a blank basketball school. Todd Renown, Okay, Seaton
Speaker 2: very good, Marvin the best. I think Paul was going
Speaker 2: for something else here was yes.
Speaker 3: Good out of us.
Speaker 2: Nobody took the bait, nobody took debate. If it's a
Speaker 2: when men's are women's basketball school, Paul, let me ask
Speaker 2: you your question. Yukon is a blank basketball school.
Speaker 6: I was going to go women's, but I'm going to
Speaker 6: go underrated basketball school.
Speaker 3: Underrated.
Speaker 6: The men's program is actually underrated because of the women's program.
Speaker 6: When they still talk about blue bloods as if North
Speaker 6: Carolina and Indiana, they never throw you CON's name in
Speaker 6: or generation in.
Speaker 2: I wish the school I went to were a big
Speaker 2: time blank school god.
Speaker 19: Stand up comedian training. It would be less nervous and
Speaker 19: more likely to go on stage and.
Speaker 3: In New York City.
Speaker 19: I know thanks to you, I got on stage I
Speaker 19: had no business being on. But that being said, it
Speaker 19: would have been nice to have maybe honed my craft
Speaker 19: at an earlier at age it and be more brave.
Speaker 19: I don't think you're coachable, but hey, yeah, Ny, you
Speaker 19: didn't offer that. They had a film school, in law,
Speaker 19: school of medicine, everything. I don't think they had to
Speaker 19: stand up comedy classes.
Speaker 3: Adam Sandler went there. Oh he did that, Yes, he did, Seaton.
Speaker 2: I wish the school I went to were a big
Speaker 2: time blank school.
Speaker 7: Uh yeah, yeah, that's a tricky one because I went
Speaker 7: to West Virginia. Good football, good basketball, great parties. It's
Speaker 7: actually got a great education. I wish that it was
Speaker 7: a big time how about.
Speaker 12: This better for me at that moment in my life school?
Speaker 3: Okay, okay.
Speaker 12: I always said I.
Speaker 7: Was more prepared for West Virginia than West Virginia was
Speaker 7: prepared for me. I was well versed in many of
Speaker 7: the wrong sides of collegiate life, and I was a honors.
Speaker 3: Student Marvin.
Speaker 12: Great Weather School.
Speaker 3: Okay, oh all right, Paul.
Speaker 6: I wish the school I went to a big time
Speaker 6: basketball school, heavyweight.
Speaker 2: I wish the school I went to were a big
Speaker 2: time past fail school that would have been nice.
Speaker 12: I would have graduated.
Speaker 3: Yes, sure, like Brown University. It's past fail.
Speaker 2: I think I could pretty I could navigate that retiring
Speaker 2: at okay, this is the Puka Nakua story. Puka Nakua
Speaker 2: says that he wants to retire at.
Speaker 20: And that's what I want to retire at the age
Speaker 20: of thirty. I'm twenty three right now, I'm going into
Speaker 20: year three. I think of Aaron Donald, like man, like
Speaker 20: to go out at the top.
Speaker 4: I think it would be super cool.
Speaker 20: But then also be like yo, like I want to
Speaker 20: I want to have a big family, just like I want.
Speaker 20: I want to have at least the starting five. I'm like,
Speaker 20: I came from a big family. He said, thirty five boys.
Speaker 20: I need five boys for sure, that's cool. But also
Speaker 20: be like man, I want to be able to be
Speaker 20: a part of their lives and like like be as
Speaker 20: active as I can with them. So from like I
Speaker 20: don't want to be the injuries are something that you
Speaker 20: can't control. Part of the games. Like I'm man, like
Speaker 20: you never know. Hopefully like the rest of our career
Speaker 20: go healthy. But I'm like, man, you have shoulder surgery,
Speaker 20: you have knee surgery, you have ankle and be like, yo, like,
Speaker 20: by the time my kids could be eighteen, I'm like,
Speaker 20: I could be very walking if I like, if you
Speaker 20: play the game, and like you sustain all the injuries.
Speaker 12: I want to retire early.
Speaker 2: Okay, it's early to be talking about retiring early, But
Speaker 2: when you're twenty three, thirty sounds really old. He's going
Speaker 2: to be twenty four. Aaron Donald retired at thirty, and
Speaker 2: I understand that you want to be able to retire
Speaker 2: and and raise a family. And at that position, he's
Speaker 2: just seeing Cooper cup uh, you know, kind of get
Speaker 2: kicked to the curb by the rams at that age.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you're he's going to get one
Speaker 2: big contract, he might not get another one. There, So,
Speaker 2: retiring at thirty sounds blank. Todd wonderfully odd, Okay.
Speaker 3: Seaton.
Speaker 12: Like science fiction or a fairy tale, not even real.
Speaker 2: Marvin rich as hell, Paul uncomfortable. Retiring at thirty sounds regretful. Regretful.
Speaker 2: That's fill in the blank.
Speaker 3: We did it.
Speaker 2: We did another episode of filling the blank. Congratulations job
Speaker 2: well done. No really, round of applause for all you guys.
Speaker 3: Then I like.
Speaker 2: Calling the black It's fun yeah, Paul gives great thought
Speaker 2: to that. Oh, you don't a medium amount of it. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 2: but nobody took the bait. Connecticutte is a blank basketball school.
Speaker 2: A very good yes, yes, very well rounded topical. Final
Speaker 2: hour on the way more phone calls eight seven to
Speaker 2: seven to three DP show operator sitting by taking your
Speaker 2: phone calls. I still got to get you back on
Speaker 2: stage to do stand up one more time in the
Speaker 2: next three years.
Speaker 12: I love making people laugh.
Speaker 19: It just gets a little nervous.
Speaker 3: Sometimes that's not called for at all.
