1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.

3
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 2: He's Bruce Pearl Turner and CBS Sports college basketball analysts.

4
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 2: Three time National Coach of the Year. And in case

5
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 2: you didn't know, former Auburn head coach Bruce Pearl, what's

6
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 2: bothering you today?

7
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 3: Coach?

8
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 4: The life's good, Dan. It's great to see you. My

9
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:24,319
Speaker 4: heartbreaks or my son.

10
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 5: But you know what, you got a chance to win

11
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 5: your way in or lose your way out, and Auburn

12
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 5: probably was just one more win away from dancing.

13
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 3: How would you rate your week.

14
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 2: Or the last ten days or two weeks, let's say

15
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:45,840
Speaker 2: as an analyst.

16
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 4: That's a great question. Dad.

17
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 5: I was a basketball coach, head coach for thirty years

18
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 5: and been in basketball for forty eight years, and so

19
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 5: this analyst thing and being in the media's brand new.

20
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 5: So I am a rookie at that, even though I'm

21
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 5: sixty six years old now. And sometimes you don't know

22
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 5: how you're doing. I mean, when I used to play

23
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 5: or used to coach, there was a scoreboard. I get

24
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 5: I get off, and I'm like, I don't know, I

25
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 5: don't know how I did. I imagine some people think

26
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 5: I'm entertaining. I would imagine some think of people think

27
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 5: I'm an idiot, and but you never know whether you

28
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 5: winning or losing.

29
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 2: But does somebody tell you, I mean, you got headlines.

30
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 2: I don't know if you feel like that's part of

31
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 2: your job.

32
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 4: No, I don't think it's part of my job.

33
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 5: I think my job is to tell you what I

34
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 5: think based on my years of experience, and and I've never,

35
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 5: as you know, Dan, I've never been politically correct, so

36
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 5: I really don't worry about that stuff. And what I

37
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 5: did learn, though, is sometimes when you do give your

38
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 5: opinion about something you know, you can be it can

39
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 5: be taken out of context, or you can be taking

40
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 5: a task. And I really don't mind either one of them.

41
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 5: Right now, I'm the ugly stepmother because I asked the question,

42
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 5: are we looking for the thirty seven best teams or

43
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 5: the thirty seven most deserving teams? When it came to

44
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 5: a large and so that because became enemy number one again.

45
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 2: Okay, how much of the story of Miami, Ohio help

46
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 2: them get into the tournament?

47
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 5: I'd say about ninety five percent. And that's fine. There

48
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 5: is a human element that exists in that room, and

49
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 5: it should exist. You don't just go by the metrics.

50
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 5: You just don't come by the numbers of math. You

51
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 5: gotta have a little bit of a field. And so

52
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 5: as said, I said this from the very beginning, I

53
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 5: would put them in the field.

54
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 4: I would put them in the field.

55
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 5: If you want to tell me, do they qualify based

56
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 5: on these metrics? The answer is absolutely not. And it's

57
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 5: interesting Dan last night I asked the when I was

58
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 5: on CBS, I.

59
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 4: Asked Chairman Gill.

60
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 5: I said, okay, last two in first to out, what

61
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 5: were the metrics that you know.

62
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 4: It was sort of the defining factor for you.

63
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 5: You know that that's a fair question, right, yeah, And

64
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 5: he said, he said, quality wins. Quality wins was he said,

65
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 5: I said, And I did not follow up out of respects.

66
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 5: And you know, these are things we can talk about

67
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 5: the next day. Mayamaha doesn't have a quality win. Oklahoma

68
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 5: and Auburn, who are the last teams left out, have

69
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 5: a half a dozen quality wins each.

70
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 4: And so.

71
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 5: I think it's sort of just added to the drama

72
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 5: a little bit. But look, I'm happy they're in. They

73
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 5: deserve to be in the field. It's what the Cinderellas

74
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 5: are all about and so I think we need a

75
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 5: sort of adjust the metrics so we get more of

76
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 5: these mid major teams in a tournament. But the way

77
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 5: it's set up right now, you've got to make an exception.

78
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 2: I thought Stanford had a better argument than Oklahoma and

79
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 2: Auburn coach tell me why, well would they have five

80
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 2: quad one victories? They had twenty plus wins. I mean,

81
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 2: just start there. It feels like a pretty good resume.

82
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 4: I agree, No, it was a good resime.

83
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 5: And one of these I've said all along with I

84
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 5: don't think anybody got screwed here.

85
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 4: Nobody got screwed. I don't think it was anybody.

86
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 5: Oh my god, how did this team get in or

87
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 5: not get in? You can make an argument Stanford, you

88
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 5: can make an argument for They said to me, if

89
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 5: VC you didn't win their tournament, they were going to

90
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 5: be out. And I would have made an argument for VCU.

91
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 5: The argument for Auburn was they played seventeen quad one games.

92
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 4: Seventeen.

93
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 5: I don't know how played one quad two. I mean,

94
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 5: it's very difficult when you talk about apples and oranges.

95
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 5: Auburn beat Saint John's, who was the biggest champion. They

96
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 5: beat Florida. At Florida, it was the SEC regular season champion.

97
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 5: They beat Arkansas by twenty who was the SEC tournament champion.

98
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 5: So when it came to quality wins, I thought that

99
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 5: that was something that could have pushed them over the top.

100
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 5: They had the number four straighten the schedule. I'm not

101
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 5: sure where Stanford's was. And a lot of that has

102
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 5: to do with.

103
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 3: Intense Can you look at Auburn objectively?

104
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 5: Yes, on one hundred percent, ken Like, I think it's okay.

105
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 4: That Auburn and Oklahoma, for example, aren't the field.

106
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 5: I think it's okay they should have won one more game,

107
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 5: and so there's nobody complaining about it. But I prided

108
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 5: myself on telling you what I really think was a

109
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 5: rooting for my son. Of course I was rooting for

110
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 5: my son. People say, well, you got your son the job. No,

111
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 5: I didn't get my son the job. My son played

112
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 5: for me. My son was an assistant for me for

113
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 5: eleven years. He's the associated coach, he was the defensive coordinator.

114
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 4: Did I help him? Absolutely? I did. As a dad,

115
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 4: of course I did.

116
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,239
Speaker 3: But you look at are you paid by Auburn?

117
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 4: You know what I'm in an ambassador's position. And not

118
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 4: many Jewish guys.

119
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 5: Who walk away from thirty million dollars, but this one did.

120
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 4: And you know who does that.

121
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,799
Speaker 5: My wife was like, honey, why couldn't you just stink

122
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 5: for a couple of years, let him fire you and

123
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 5: pay you ten million dollars to do what you're doing now.

124
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 5: But no, you go ahead and quit, leave all that

125
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 5: on the table. Yeah, no, Dan, I objectivity for me

126
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 5: not an issue.

127
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 2: Okay, But I don't know if you have to disclose

128
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 2: that that. Hey, I'm still paid as an ambassador for Auburn.

129
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 2: If it felt like you were kind of dinging Miami,

130
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 2: Ohio because Auburn was going to be on the bubble.

131
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 2: So that's the appearance, Okay, that's that's how a lot

132
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 2: of people look. So the appearance of that, the optics

133
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 2: didn't look good.

134
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 4: Well, that's that's fair.

135
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 5: And it certainly as a former Auburn basketball cook, what

136
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 5: former coach or former athlete.

137
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 4: Charles Barkley roots for Auburn, he does. But Charles Barkley

138
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 4: is always going to keep it real and.

139
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 3: And but he was paid at Auburn, not after Auburn.

140
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 4: That's very enough.

141
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 5: Hey, hey, listen, what if if, if I wasn't able

142
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 5: to be objective, I wouldn't continue to be at Auburn.

143
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 5: It's it's sort of a uh, it's sort of the

144
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 5: best of both worlds. I would give that up in

145
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 5: a heartbeat. If if it, if optics became such an

146
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 5: issue that I couldn't be an analyst. You know, Jay

147
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 5: Wright works were in Villanova for all those years. He

148
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 5: still worked there, and nobody questioned whether or not Jay

149
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 5: Wright would have been objective.

150
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 3: Are you retired as a coach?

151
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I am. I thought about coming. I thought about it.

152
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 5: I got a few phone calls even this year, but

153
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 5: then head coach for thirty years and it was enough.

154
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 4: We had a great run, and I do want to

155
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 4: do some other things. As you know.

156
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 5: You know, I'm a huge advocate for this country. I

157
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 5: want to coach America. I'm being a Jewish American. I

158
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 5: work really hard to bring Jews and Christians and Muslims together.

159
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 5: Abraham's a father of all nations. As the coach, I

160
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 5: love to bring people together. Religion divis us and separates us.

161
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 5: And of course I love my country and I also

162
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 5: love my ancestral home on Israel. So those are the

163
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 5: areas that I'm working in right now, and I think

164
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 5: that in many ways I had the success I had

165
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 5: and to give me this platform I am.

166
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 4: I want Jewish.

167
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 5: Americans to be this country's greatest patriots because this country

168
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 5: saved us from the Holocaust and gave us this opportunity

169
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 5: and we are hopefully making most of it.

170
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 4: That comes with a responsibility.

171
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 2: Talking to Bruce Pearl, CBS Sports college basketball analyst, former

172
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 2: Auburn head coach, best pro prospect in the tournament is

173
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 2: who aj debansta.

174
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 5: I think both on and off the court, Dan, if

175
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 5: you're going to invest in somebody that is gonna be

176
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 5: your number one pick and you want to build your

177
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 5: franchise around that, I think the stuff both on and

178
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 5: off the court work ethic.

179
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 4: Although this year is a great draft.

180
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 5: It'll be the best freshman in the history of the

181
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 5: NBA Draft. This year it is. It is talented top,

182
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,079
Speaker 5: It's very very deep. I don't think you can go wrong.

183
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 4: I love.

184
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 5: I love several other players in there. I love Boozer

185
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 5: Peterson is an incredible talent. Caleb Wilson is amazing.

186
00:08:58,440 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 4: UH.

187
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 5: The point guards A Cuff, Yeah, A Cuff is Uh

188
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 5: is a great great story, Kingston Fleming. It is absolutely,

189
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 5: absolutely loaded, and that's why all these NBA teams are

190
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,559
Speaker 5: tanking because they want to they want to improve their

191
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 5: position in the draft.

192
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 3: When you see Patino still doing it, what do you think?

193
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 4: Amazing? Amazing?

194
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 2: How does he have the energy? Though, Bruce, it feels

195
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 2: like that's what leaves you first.

196
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know. I mean everybody ages differently. I

197
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 5: think it's I think my guess is it's it's it's

198
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 5: just it's it's his. His family and basketball are his

199
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,319
Speaker 5: two major passionate interests.

200
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 4: A little bit of horse racing. Dan, he was the

201
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 4: best I ever went up against.

202
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 5: He he knew what I wanted to do and how

203
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 5: I wanted to do it. He knew how to take

204
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 5: it away. He's not getting older, He's getting better. Tom Iszoe'

205
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 5: is the same way. I mean, Tom iszou is getting better.

206
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 5: If it's it's hard to believe he has got uh

207
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,079
Speaker 5: he has got good teams that he makes.

208
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 4: He makes it a great eight teams.

209
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, and so uh, I got Patino at Saint John's

210
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 5: making a little bit of run this year in my bracket.

211
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 5: I think there, I think uh Zubi edge of four

212
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 5: is terrific. They guard really really well and and they're

213
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 5: starting to shoot the basketball better.

214
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 3: How many teams can win it?

215
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 5: I think, uh, there's certainly everybody that's on the one

216
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 5: line can win it. I think Saint John's as a five.

217
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 5: How to Saint John's. How are they a five? I mean,

218
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,119
Speaker 5: that's just like they're a three seed.

219
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 4: In my house? How can you come be a two

220
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 4: and Saint John's be a five?

221
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:36,959
Speaker 5: I know it's the body to work, and Saint John's

222
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 5: wasn't playing great early in the season. I'd say there

223
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 5: are seven or eight teams I think that will winning.

224
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 5: I think it's gonna be a lot of chalk well.

225
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 2: You know, and we talk to different people about this

226
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 2: that it used to be the last ten games of

227
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 2: your schedule meant the most going into the tournament, and

228
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 2: I don't think that's the case now. They look at

229
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 2: your body of work. I don't care what you did

230
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 2: in October or November what you're doing now. And Saint John's,

231
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 2: you you win the regular season, you win the Big

232
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 2: Eiast tournament, you won what's six in a row, you

233
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 2: blow out Yukon.

234
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 3: I got a factor that in Yeah, Dan.

235
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 4: Let me give you one something to think about.

236
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 5: I agree how how you're playing lately is more important,

237
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 5: but the schedule because people are more interested in late

238
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 5: February and early March. You notice how the best teams

239
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 5: play against the best teams like crazy. That's because there

240
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 5: are more eyeballs on college basketball after college football are over.

241
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 5: So the last ten I don't think is a great

242
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 5: metrics just because of the toughness of the schedule for

243
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 5: the best teams. I mean, if you're on you know,

244
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 5: so that would be just an issue. That's that's why

245
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 5: I would not lean in that direction.

246
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 3: Good to talk to you. Keep stirring it up.

247
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 4: Appreciate you, brother, Thank you always.

Speaker 2: Nashville at the Nashville Airport, joins us on the program.

265
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 2: How many people are asking you for tips on how

266
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 2: to fill out their brackets?

267
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 8: Just a cup ball? It hasn't been too bad. It's early,

268
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 8: so I'm sure i'll get more.

269
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 2: Okay, But do you have a standard response when people go, hey,

270
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 2: I need some help?

271
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, I tell them to turn endo the show. I

272
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:01,839
Speaker 7: gave them on the show.

273
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 2: Got any problems with Let's start at the top four seeds?

274
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 3: You good?

275
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 7: No, that was an easy call. I think.

276
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 8: You know, there might have been a little bit of

277
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 8: discussion maybe a week ago about does Yukon get the

278
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 8: number one seed? But once they lost Saint John's, I

279
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 8: think it was Florida without question.

280
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 3: How many teams can win?

281
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 8: I think there are probably seven maybe that can win.

282
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 8: We're reaching a final four, as you know, is a

283
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 8: lot different. You know, you win four games something happens

284
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 8: in your bracket, but once you get to the final four,

285
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 8: that's a different animal. So I think the list of

286
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 8: teams that can reach a final four is a long one,

287
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 8: but the list that can win it, I think.

288
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 7: Is a lot shorter. But this is a different year

289
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 7: than last year.

290
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 8: You know, last year we let into selection Sunday going okay,

291
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 8: I mean there's a list of four teams that can

292
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 8: win it. And when many of us, myself included, picked

293
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 8: all four number one seeds to make the final four,

294
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 8: you know, we got critics. It's like, come on, man,

295
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:02,959
Speaker 8: you guys are going chalk and all that stuff. You're

296
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 8: going no, Like, this is different and it's happened before.

297
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 8: It happened two thousand and eight, the first time since

298
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 8: seeding began, But this feels a lot different. I think

299
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 8: there's going to be more disruption and more upsets.

300
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 2: The difference that NIL is making in college football to

301
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 2: college basketball today is what it's similar.

302
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 8: I think we're seeing across the power conferences the talent

303
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 8: is spread out more.

304
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 7: You can't stockpile like you used to.

305
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 8: I don't think there's enough data to make a conclusion

306
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 8: on what's going on with the lower conferences. Coaches complain

307
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 8: a lot, and I get why they complain, But the

308
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 8: smaller conferences, when a player does really well, that player

309
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 8: is likely to go to a bigger stage.

310
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 7: But tell me how that's bad.

311
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 8: Like the coaches go to a bigger stage, they go

312
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 8: to the NCAA tournament for Miami, Ohio, and they leave

313
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 8: for a bigger job, So you expect the players not

314
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 8: to have the same ambitions.

315
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 7: I actually think the portal works really well there.

316
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 8: I don't know about you, but you know, I had

317
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 8: heard of Dalton connect and seen him play at Northern Colorado,

318
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 8: but I only saw him play because I was I

319
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 8: was looking at another NBA prospect that he was playing against,

320
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 8: and so was he required because he was under recruited

321
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 8: out of high school to stay at Northern Colorado. Because

322
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 8: it makes all the pearl clutching college people feel better.

323
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 8: It's stupid, And you know, I don't think it's a

324
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 8: loyalty issue, like were we loyal? You know, guys like

325
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 8: you and me and our age, Were we loyal or

326
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 8: did we just have no choice?

327
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 7: I think it's more of the latter than the former.

328
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 2: But I'm not surprised when I hear this guy started

329
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 2: at this college and then he went to this college,

330
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 2: and now he's at this college.

331
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 3: Would you limit the number of times you could transfer?

332
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 7: I would limit it by contract.

333
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 8: So what you would do is sign a player to

334
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 8: a multi year contract and put significant buyouts in it.

335
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 8: So the choice, the choice there is does the player

336
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 8: sign weigh that right in in an arms length bargaining position,

337
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 8: and maybe you take more money to stay or less

338
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 8: money to have the option to leave after a certain

339
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 8: period of time. But it's got to be negotiated, and

340
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 8: if you wanted to do something different, you do it

341
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 8: by collective margaining. You know, people often say to me, well,

342
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 8: there's a salary cap in the NBA. Well, yeah, the

343
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 8: players agreed to it, and it's for the betterment of

344
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 8: the whole.

345
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 7: But the players are part of it. There's choice involved.

346
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 8: We've lived in a system, at least people of our age,

347
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 8: lived in a system where it was unilaterally imposed on

348
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 8: the players, and you know, that's that was never right.

349
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 7: It was never.

350
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 8: Legal, And now that it's been ruled illegal by the

351
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 8: Supreme Court, you know, people have gotten a little more

352
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 8: rational about it.

353
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 2: Talking to Jay billis so the mothership we were talking

354
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 2: about Rick Patino earlier today, his ability to evolve or change.

355
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 2: I mean, you go back to you know, when he

356
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 2: started embracing the three, when he was at Providence and

357
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 2: you know, Louisville and Kentucky and Iona over in Greece.

358
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 2: I mean, most of the guys his age have bowed

359
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 2: out because they don't want to deal with all of this.

360
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 3: Like, how do you explain Patino?

361
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 8: I think, first and foremost, he's just a basketball junkie,

362
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 8: Like he has to have the game, and he's one

363
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,120
Speaker 8: of the best teachers that has ever lived. I put

364
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 8: Huge Brown up there in that category of understanding and

365
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 8: teaching the game, and I just don't think he can

366
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 8: imagine a life without it.

367
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 4: You know.

368
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 8: I know he plays golf and he has other interests.

369
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 8: You know, you've been the horse field and stuff like that,

370
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 8: but he's not willing to go do that full time

371
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 8: and just sort of enjoy the later stage of the life.

372
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 7: He still wants to be in the in the fray.

373
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 7: And I really like that.

374
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 8: I mean, you know, can you imagine Dan when we

375
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 8: were younger, Like I grew up in la in the

376
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 8: shadow of UCLA, and John wouldn't retire when I was

377
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 8: like in fifth grade in nineteen seventy five, he was

378
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 8: sixty five years old, and I thought he was the

379
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 8: oldest man that ever lived. And now these guys are

380
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 8: going into their mid to late seventies, and I think

381
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 8: it's great. But man, if you're a younger coach wanting

382
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 8: to work your way up, you're going, geez, how old

383
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 8: do I have to be to get a head coaching

384
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 8: job that I want?

385
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 2: The coverage of Miami of Ohio, how do you explain it?

386
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 7: You know, I think it's been largely fair.

387
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 8: I applaud Miami Ohio being in the field, but the

388
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 8: committee is doing something they've never done before. They've gone

389
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 8: essentially against their principles of strength of scheduling and having

390
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 8: to play people like who did you play and who

391
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 8: did you beat?

392
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 7: Like, look, Miami's really good.

393
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 8: So I would not argue with any basketball person that says, look,

394
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 8: I think they're one of the best teams in the

395
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 8: at large pool and they deserve to be in.

396
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 7: That's a fair judgment to make.

397
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 8: But if we're going to sit here and say, like

398
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 8: the chairman of the committee and I'm forgetting his name,

399
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 8: and I apologize, but was talking last night saying, well,

400
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 8: Miami went in the field before, uh, you know, NC

401
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 8: State or Texas or all that. But when they really scrubbed,

402
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 8: you know, they call it scrubbing. When they really scrubbed,

403
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 8: the resumes.

404
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 7: Then Miami of Ohio has moved to actually the last

405
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:16,400
Speaker 7: team in the.

406
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 8: Field, and you're like, well, did you scrub them against

407
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 8: the teams that you left out?

408
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 7: Like, you know what, what's the what's the metric here?

409
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,640
Speaker 8: Because if you go buy Kenpom dot com, which does

410
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 8: all the all the per one hundred possession metrics, they're

411
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 8: in the nineties and and look they're.

412
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 7: Good, but they didn't play anybody.

413
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 8: And I don't buy this thing about we couldn't get

414
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 8: better games, Like I'm not saying that that Duke would

415
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:45,719
Speaker 8: come and play. You use those things are difficulty.

416
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 7: Come on, man, you could play a better schedule.

417
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 8: But now they're in the tournament, they're going to Dayton,

418
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 8: and they have an opportunity to prove themselves and I

419
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 8: think that they're going to quit themselves really well, because they're

420
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 8: really they're they're very very good.

421
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, it's basically a home game from Miami, Ohio

422
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 2: because in Dayton, you know, that's forty minutes away. Would

423
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 2: you have if you were on the committee, would you

424
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 2: have argued to keep them out with their resume.

425
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 8: I wouldn't have argued that, but I would have said,

426
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 8: what are our principles here, Like, you know, we're looking

427
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 8: at these other teams with different metrics than we're looking

428
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 8: at this team. And look, I think it's great, Like

429
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 8: I think it's a great story. It makes everybody feel good,

430
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 8: it's great, and so I'm in favor of them being

431
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 8: in the tournament. But there's nothing in the committee's principles

432
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 8: that say, hey, we got to have a feel good

433
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 8: story here, because you know, there seems to be this

434
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:43,919
Speaker 8: feeling that the little guy kind of deserves a chance,

435
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 8: and they have a chance. Everybody has the same chance.

436
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 8: This is the fairest thing possible that everybody, every school,

437
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 8: every team has the same chance to get in the

438
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 8: tournament when you're automatic bid against your peers in a

439
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 8: league you've chosen to be in. If you can't do that,

440
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 8: you go in the pool with everybody else, and they

441
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,439
Speaker 8: take the best teams out first. Now, if they're one

442
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 8: of the best teams, then take them out. I'm fine

443
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 8: with that.

444
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:04,880
Speaker 7: But you know, we.

445
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 8: Act like the players that are at some of the

446
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,479
Speaker 8: teams that were left out from major conferences, that they

447
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 8: don't have feelings, that they don't care and that they

448
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 8: don't want to be in the tournament.

449
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 4: You know.

450
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 8: And if we're going to say, hey, you know, you

451
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 8: had plenty of chances, I'm good with that. If we

452
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 8: say you lost too much, that's fine, But you know,

453
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 8: I don't know how to exactly how to measure did

454
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 8: you play enough quality games? Because they you know, Miami

455
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 8: Ohio played only one one game against the Quad two team,

456
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 8: No Quad one games, everything was Quad three and Quad four.

457
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 8: If if a team out of the Atlantic ten did that,

458
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 8: they'd be dismissed in no time.

459
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 7: And to me, like I've heard people say this if.

460
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 8: Miami and Ohio had lost just one game this year,

461
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 8: but or well, I guess they wouldn't be in that

462
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 8: large if they had lost to Akron and then lost

463
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 8: in their tournament, now they'd be out. Like that's what

464
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,199
Speaker 8: that's the difference. You know, to me that the make

465
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 8: a whole lot of sense.

466
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 2: Best pro prospect that we'll see in the tournament is who.

467
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 8: Aj debonsa of BYU and then Darius A Cuff, junior

468
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 8: at Arkansas.

469
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 4: I mean, this.

470
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,880
Speaker 7: Tournament is loaded with great players.

471
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 8: Like this draft is as good as I can remember,

472
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 8: especially a freshmen. And I've never seen a freshman class

473
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 8: this deep of really really good players. And there've been

474
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,880
Speaker 8: there obviously been great drafts before where the top five

475
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 8: were just as good or something like that, but we've

476
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 8: never had a draft like this where you go twenty

477
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 8: deep of freshmen that are eighteen nineteen years old, that

478
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 8: they're this good. I mean, think about this, Dan, Like

479
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 8: you know, on the day that you know, again the

480
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 8: pearl clutching college basketball people were losing their minds over

481
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 8: Charles Bettioco coming in from the G League. Charles Vedioco

482
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 8: scored I think twelve points that day, and we had

483
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 8: three freshmen that went for over forty, and we were

484
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 8: all worried about Charles Bettioco.

485
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,919
Speaker 3: I got to get a duke question in, don't I am?

486
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 7: I required to yes, as am I?

487
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 2: Is that a North Carolina blue that you have on

488
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 2: or is that a Duke blue?

489
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 8: No, that's a great question because I think it's important

490
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 8: for everybody to understand this, especially North Carolina people. North Carolina,

491
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 8: the color light blue was invented before the University of

492
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 8: North Carolina was established. And I went to Rolling Hills

493
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 8: High School in Los Angeles, Go Titans and the colors

494
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,959
Speaker 8: were blue and gold, and I am a loyal, loyal

495
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:36,439
Speaker 8: supporter of my high school.

496
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,199
Speaker 7: Even though they changed the name of it.

497
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,120
Speaker 8: It is no longer Rolling Hills High School is now

498
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 8: Peninsula High School because our arch rival Pallas Verdes we

499
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 8: smelled dead.

500
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 7: Fish closed down for a period.

501
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 8: They combined the schools and they didn't want to hurt

502
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 8: PV's feelings, and then PV opened up again. It was

503
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 8: a conspiracy, Dan, But I think I'm still the all

504
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 8: time leading score at Rolling Hills High School because the

505
00:23:58,160 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 8: Peninsula numbers don't.

506
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 3: Count that UH should be the favorite.

507
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 7: Yes, but they got some injury issues.

508
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:07,439
Speaker 4: You know.

509
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 8: Caleb Foster, their starting guard, has a foot injury, and

510
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 8: I don't know when he's gonna be back. If he'll

511
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 8: be back, I'm hopeful that he will for their sake.

512
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 8: And then Patrick Dunba, their center, didn't play in the

513
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 8: a SEC tournament.

514
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 7: They held him out with another foot issue.

515
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 8: So if they're not one hundred percent, that certainly limits

516
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:31,199
Speaker 8: their ceiling. But they've got the most consistent and productive player.

517
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 8: I think in the tournament in Cameron Boozer, Like the

518
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:39,439
Speaker 8: numbers he's been putting up are outrageous. You know, for

519
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 8: John Shire to have Cooper Flag and Cameron Boozer back

520
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 8: to back, that's uh, that's pretty pretty good recruiting.

Speaker 9: Yes, Dan Missouri came to Howard this year to open

565
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 9: the season up.

566
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 11: It was amazing much.

567
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 9: I want to shout out coach Gates for doing that,

568
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 9: to bring in an SEC team to an HBCU. More

569
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 9: of that should happen, then there wouldn't be these inequities

570
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 9: come time for the NCAA tournament, and hell would job

571
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 9: by Henny Blakeney at Howard after his best player was

572
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 9: stolen by Creighton.

573
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,719
Speaker 12: Don't let me get started, let him get started, man,

574
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 12: let him cook.

575
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 3: No, no, we got I want to know whether any any.

576
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 2: Surprises last night, like there was no surprises on selections,

577
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,640
Speaker 2: A lot of surprises, like biggest surprise was won.

578
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 12: Biggest surprise, you know. I think the biggest joy of

579
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 12: the night was Michael B.

580
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 10: Jordan winning Best Actor.

581
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 12: I don't know if it was necessarily a surprise because

582
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 12: he had kind of the tide started turning in that race.

583
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 12: I think in the last few weeks where I.

584
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 9: Think even after the Golden Globe, you could see it

585
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 9: moving even though he.

586
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:43,880
Speaker 12: Was Timothy Salomet and uh, you know, so people were saying, well,

587
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 12: maybe Michael B. Jordan could win this, and then I

588
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 12: think in the last week it was like, well he

589
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 12: could now be the favorite.

590
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 3: Wait, but win are the votes in? Like all the

591
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 3: VAULTA was like.

592
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 12: No, it was like like two weeks ago, last Thursday

593
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 12: on a Thursday was the closing of the vote.

594
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 9: I think that's why you also saw Amy Madigan move

595
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 9: up so dramatically in the end.

596
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,120
Speaker 11: I mean she played a hell of a role in Prisoners.

597
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,640
Speaker 11: Gladys is an all time character.

598
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 12: Yes, absolutely, but I think a lot in that race,

599
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 12: a lot of the other people canceled each other out

600
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 12: and so but I also think, I mean, she was

601
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 12: incredible in that movie. But yeah, I don't know that

602
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 12: I would say surprises. The only thing, Dan, is that

603
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 12: all the races were up in the air going in,

604
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 12: so not really a surprise, but just like what's gonna happen,

605
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 12: what's gonna what's gonna go on here?

606
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 2: How many movies will be labeled a classic of this

607
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 2: year too?

608
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 10: Yeah, one battle after another in Centers.

609
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 3: Will both wow.

610
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 11: See we disagree, I say Hamnet and Sinners.

611
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 12: Oh well, Hamlet's pretty much a perfect movie.

612
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 10: I don't know if you've seen it.

613
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 2: Dan, My wife watched it and I told her to

614
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 2: download me on it.

615
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 10: So she gave you that you will cry, You will cry.

616
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 2: I was watching Weekend at Bernie's and I told her

617
00:28:59,200 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 2: one hundred.

618
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 11: And seventy.

619
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 3: And you know, he's dead. He's actually dead.

620
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 9: Dan was actually reading his script for the next Adam

621
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 9: Sandler movie.

622
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 10: That's what he was was, of course what he was doing.

623
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 12: I think actually one of the big surprises Dan is

624
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 12: that your boy Adam Sandler didn't get nominated for an Oscar.

625
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 10: Maybe that was the biggest surprise of this movie.

626
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 2: No, it was the previous uncut gems that to me

627
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 2: was was criminal.

628
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 10: He was great, Yeah, he was great.

629
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 12: Well, the safties, you know, and the Safti's made Marty supreme,

630
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 12: and it was very much in that vein.

631
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 10: Of being manic.

632
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 12: And weird and crazy and great and all of those

633
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 12: things and maddening.

634
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 9: And I mean Marty Supreme went from oh my gosh,

635
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 9: everybody loves this movie too, Like no one was talking

636
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 9: about I still love them time we got to the Oscars.

637
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 9: But I'm saying, the talk, the chatter, the buzz died

638
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 9: was there?

639
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 2: What is there, Timothy Chalomet fatigue in Hollywood.

640
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 12: I don't know if it's fatigue.

641
00:29:58,440 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 10: I think the.

642
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 12: Way that they went about marketing the movie started to

643
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 12: tank near the end because they did this unconventionally.

644
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 10: So what he did was he marketed.

645
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:11,239
Speaker 12: He didn't do interviews with traditional media. He went to

646
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 12: he went the sports route though, and he went to

647
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 12: all like this. He went to Mellows podcast and he

648
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 12: did you know, the ESPN shows, and he did that.

649
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 12: And so I don't think his campaign was targeted to

650
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 12: the Oscar voters as much as it should have been.

651
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 12: Although I thought the marketing of the movie, he was everywhere,

652
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 12: he just wasn't where.

653
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 9: The voters were, right. I think that's the perfect point

654
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 9: that the traditional media. He walked by the traditional media

655
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 9: at every one of the awards shows, did not stop

656
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 9: to talk, did not do the interviews. And I think

657
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 9: we talked to him in Palm Springs, but I mean

658
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 9: literally after Palm Springs.

659
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 11: What did he say?

660
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 10: He did nothing?

661
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, this is wild to watch. Is it a

662
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 3: sports movie?

663
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 11: No?

664
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 10: No, I think it is.

665
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 7: No.

666
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 10: Absolutely, I'll disagree with you on that.

667
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 12: It's a movie about p it's a movie about life,

668
00:30:58,280 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 12: it's a movie about ambition.

669
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 10: It's the movie a.

670
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 12: Little bit about narcissism and and you know how you

671
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 12: show up in the world, but it definitely is a sportsman.

672
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 9: Or the love of the game, Bingo Long's Traveling All

673
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 9: Stars and Motor Kings. I mean, you can name a

674
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 9: lot of movies that are about sports.

675
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 11: I don't think this one.

676
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 9: Ping Pong feels like the backdrop almost to the manic craziness.

677
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 2: All of these sports movies, Kevin, are not about sports.

678
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 2: Durham is not about minor league baseball, is about dreams,

679
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 2: is not about baseball.

680
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 9: But it weaves the sport in in a way that

681
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 9: is different in this movie the sport of I think

682
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 9: spink Ping Pong in. I think that when you sit

683
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 9: down and you watch, I mean, look, I still every time,

684
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 9: every time I watch for the love of the game,

685
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 9: I still I love it watching you know him on

686
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 9: the mound and the way they weave the game and

687
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 9: the names.

688
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:57,959
Speaker 11: And all that stuff. I think that's different than how

689
00:31:58,000 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 11: Marty's sopri.

690
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 12: Evean's a traditionalist in that way, Dan and I see

691
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 12: we can think outside the box.

692
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 3: Why didn't Sean Pinn show up?

693
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 12: Well? The New York Times reports that he went to Ukraine.

694
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 12: Our reporting from his rep was just that he's out

695
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 12: of the country. Some people think he just didn't want

696
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:21,959
Speaker 12: to show it. You know, he hasn't really showed up

697
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 12: for much since the Golden Globes this season. But I

698
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 12: will stand Tinto's down on the fact that Sean Pinn

699
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 12: gave the best performance on camera in any movie this year.

700
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 12: It was that good and he deserved the Oscar. I

701
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,959
Speaker 12: think it was ridiculous. He wasn't there, but he deserved

702
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 12: the Osa.

703
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 2: The best acting role, and it's not even close in

704
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 2: my opinion.

705
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, go ahead, Ethan Hawk.

706
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 12: We carried that movie from start to finish, and he.

707
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 3: Was He was incredible.

708
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 9: It was the best performance of the year. Her expressions

709
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 9: in Hamnet were incredible. With her face the end of

710
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 9: that movie, that five minutes of her standing at that

711
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 9: stage watching that was incredible art.

712
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 3: It was You couldn't, Kevin.

713
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 9: You literally could not pull yourself away from discoven that movie.

714
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 10: Blue Moon.

715
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Blue Moon was awesome. I know you guys

716
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,479
Speaker 2: gotta go, Kevin. How many movies have you go for

717
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 2: it like I'm an actor?

718
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, I'm just saying I mean over twenty

719
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 3: twenty movies. I'm just saying, Well, I will.

720
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 9: Say this Dan, Clearly you haven't seen Juana man and

721
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 9: my great work in that and some of the other

722
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,959
Speaker 9: movies where I've made cameos. I mean I thought I

723
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 9: was I thought I was incredible in Girls Trip.

724
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 11: I mean, I don't know, Dan, I'm just telling you, man.

725
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 9: I mean, and from those moments of being on screen

726
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 9: and being just pure magic in my eyes, I think

727
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 9: that I understand a great performance when I see, well.

728
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 12: None of you can touch a runaway bride for Christmas.

Speaker 11: That's true.

730
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 9: Hold on, she's had a lead before, she's been a leader.
