Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Final Hour on this Monday, Best and Worst
Speaker 1: of the weekend.
Speaker 2: What you saw that you liked you didn't like. Yukon
Speaker 2: Husky's head coach Dan Hurley will join us on the program.
Speaker 2: If you miss last hour, Gino Oriema joined us fresh
Speaker 2: from his twelfth national championship. You can always go back
Speaker 2: listen to it on the app. Danpatrick dot com eight
Speaker 2: seven to seven three DP show email address Dpadanpatrick dot
Speaker 2: com Twitter handle a DP show. The Yukon women roll
Speaker 2: to a national title tonight. It's Florida against Houston. Florida
Speaker 2: is a slight favorite, and Alex Ovechkin passes Wayne Gretzky
Speaker 2: the same number of games that it took Waino to
Speaker 2: get to his number. Ovechkin breaks the record, and the
Speaker 2: Blue Jays quietly give Vlad Guerrero Junior five hundred million dollars.
Speaker 2: Not sure how you quietly give somebody five hundred million dollars,
Speaker 2: but it seemed like that they were Negotia for a while.
Speaker 2: Good morning, if you're watching on Peacock, thank you for
Speaker 2: downloading the app, and we say good morning to our
Speaker 2: radio affiliates around the country, best and worst of the weekend.
Speaker 2: What you saw that you liked, you didn't like. I've
Speaker 2: been keeping an eye on this story because everybody is
Speaker 2: focusing on the Brotherly Shove, and I think the commissioner
Speaker 2: wants to get it out of the game. That's why
Speaker 2: they tabled it. They're going to vote on it again
Speaker 2: in May. I think he's going to do sort of
Speaker 2: some background negotiating arm twisting here to make sure that
Speaker 2: they and maybe you modify it, or maybe just says,
Speaker 2: you know what, we never should have allowed this. We're
Speaker 2: going to go back to the way it was in
Speaker 2: two thousand and five. The other thing is the league
Speaker 2: office ask the Detroit Lions to propose playoff seating based
Speaker 2: on record, regardless of a divisional championship. The commissioner wants this,
Speaker 2: so the commissioner the teams have to make the request.
Speaker 2: Here's the commissioner saying to the Lions. Reportedly, I would
Speaker 2: like for you to make this request. According to multiple sources,
Speaker 2: it became clear during last week's league meetings that Roger
Speaker 2: Goodell wants to eliminate the guaranteed home playoff Game four. Somebody,
Speaker 2: if you have a losing record and win your division,
Speaker 2: or your record is not as good as the team
Speaker 2: that you're going to be facing. According to Pro Football Talk,
Speaker 2: one source in the room for the session said the
Speaker 2: commissioner became visibly irritated at the resistant to the measure.
Speaker 2: The goal is to make more late season games interesting,
Speaker 2: but there's no guarantee that will happen. In twenty twenty four,
Speaker 2: for example, the final game of the regular season between
Speaker 2: the Vikings and Lions would have had lower stakes since
Speaker 2: the loser still would have host to the playoff game
Speaker 2: the following weekend. The Lion's proposal was tabled to May.
Speaker 2: Tabled is good in a way that if you want
Speaker 2: to wait another month and then you go, oh, that
Speaker 2: got passed. Do I think this is going to get passed,
Speaker 2: just like the Tush push. Yes, I do. Yes, And
Speaker 2: according to Pro Football Talk, the compromise would be that
Speaker 2: divisional winners with sub five hundred records won't host a
Speaker 2: wildcard game, and other possibility is to recede after the
Speaker 2: wildcard round.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think that's what they should do. After the wildcard round.
Speaker 2: Just recede. Be fair to the teams that played well
Speaker 2: during the regular season and your record should count. Now,
Speaker 2: I know it's not balanced with who you're facing in
Speaker 2: your division, and the NFC West may play the AFC East.
Speaker 2: I understand all of that, but I still think if
Speaker 2: you had thirteen wins but you're not hosting a playoff
Speaker 2: game and you're hosting somebody who had ten wins or
Speaker 2: they're hosting you, I don't think that's right. But the
Speaker 2: commissioner wants to recede. But the fact that he would
Speaker 2: say to the lines, hey you guys, you guys must
Speaker 2: be bothered about that playoff format, right, No, no, no,
Speaker 2: we're all right. You know, we take care of business. No, no, no,
Speaker 2: you're not happy with it? Oh that yeah, that's right,
Speaker 2: we're not happy. What do he want us to do?
Speaker 2: I want you guys to bring this up. Maybe we
Speaker 2: could vote on it, and let's recede in the tournament. Okay, sure,
Speaker 2: And all of a sudden you bring it up. Then
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, it's like, you know what, we're
Speaker 2: gonna table this until May next order of business. Here,
Speaker 2: the toush push the idea of like you know, and
Speaker 2: not right now, table it. Let's table this. You know what,
Speaker 2: I don't know that I have the patience for this
Speaker 2: right now. Why don't we just kick that can down
Speaker 2: the road? A minute stat of the Day brought to
Speaker 2: you by Panini America, the official trading cards of the
Speaker 2: Dan Patrick Show. Let me see James in New Mexico.
Speaker 2: Joins us, Hi, James, what's on your mind? By the way,
Speaker 2: I got DraftKings odds to win March Madness next year,
Speaker 2: just to let you know, we haven't even crowned this
Speaker 2: year's champ with the men's and I've got the odds
Speaker 2: to win the national championship for next year. Given the
Speaker 2: fact that Duke is going to lose three, They're going
Speaker 2: to lose four of their starters, I'm guessing, but they're
Speaker 2: the favorites to win the national championship next year. Bennett's Houston, Connecticut,
Speaker 2: b YU and Purdue. Hey James, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 4: Hey Darren, thanks for getting the call. I was just
Speaker 4: calling to see in all of sports, has there.
Speaker 5: Been anything coaching wise as dominant as Gino and what
Speaker 5: he's done. And it may not be fair to judge
Speaker 5: across all sports, but just so impressive. I don't know
Speaker 5: if we'll really see anything like it ever.
Speaker 2: Again, well, you've had and you have to go back
Speaker 2: in sports what John Wooden did, what ten titles, twelve years,
Speaker 2: what Red Arbach and the Celtics did as well. But yeah,
Speaker 2: modern day and even Gino addressed this that he has
Speaker 2: players who stay there for three four years. Nobody's transferring.
Speaker 2: He lost one player, what is it, Deleadon and she
Speaker 2: was a Hall of Fame player and she went to Delaware,
Speaker 2: but she went to Yukon and she was a wonderful player,
Speaker 2: but she didn't want to for whatever reason. She was
Speaker 2: homesick and she went to Delaware. Still became a great
Speaker 2: WNBA player. But they don't lose players and they're staying.
Speaker 2: And as Gino said, look, you would have had one
Speaker 2: and donners with Breonna Stewart. I mean, go down the
Speaker 2: lit Maya Moore, he was Diana Tarrossa. They'd be one
Speaker 2: and done. But they're staying four years. So it's a
Speaker 2: decided advantage for him in the sport that he coaches in.
Speaker 6: Yeah, poling, he's won twelve of the last thirty NCAA tournaments.
Speaker 6: That's nutty, twelve of thirty.
Speaker 2: But he's been in twenty four final fours, twenty four
Speaker 2: uh Lucas in Texas. Hi, Luke, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 2: Hey d Ay, good morning, Good morning.
Speaker 7: Say on a weekend like this, there's nothing but best.
Speaker 7: I have a best of the weekend, and who had.
Speaker 3: The best weekend?
Speaker 7: In that hour one pole question. My best of the
Speaker 7: weekend has to be Houston and Duke Q Town as
Speaker 7: one of your day has to refer to it just
Speaker 7: a great game. I thought it was so telling that
Speaker 7: Helvin Sampson said when they made this three pointer to
Speaker 7: make it a three point deficit, that's when they knew
Speaker 7: they had a game. It just shows the telling, you know,
Speaker 7: the thing you've been hammering home for such a long time,
Speaker 7: the amount of emphasis that experience and being together as
Speaker 7: a team for multiple years has over a roster full
Speaker 7: of super talented freshmen. And then who had the best weekend?
Speaker 7: I'm actually gonna go off the board and throw a
Speaker 7: far man, mister Marvin Prince. You know it's easy to feel,
Speaker 7: you know, a little disappointed that your Yukon Husky's lost
Speaker 7: a great game to Florida in the second round in
Speaker 7: the men's program, and I guess he just has to
Speaker 7: wipe his tears with parade.
Speaker 3: Confetti from the women's team.
Speaker 7: So you know, life is life is good for one
Speaker 7: of our one of our day nets.
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna I'm gonna throw him up, all right, Well,
Speaker 2: thank you, Lucas. Would you have rather had the men
Speaker 2: win a national championship? Go three pete or that the
Speaker 2: women win a national championship again?
Speaker 8: Marvin taking the women because page it never won. And
Speaker 8: like you said, it's been nine years. That's a long time.
Speaker 8: That's the longest drought for Yukon. It's a long time
Speaker 8: since Gino's first national championship from his last championship so yesterday,
Speaker 8: that was the longest drought of his career since he
Speaker 8: started winning national championships.
Speaker 2: Here is Cooper Flagg, the Duke forward, talking about his
Speaker 2: final season.
Speaker 5: I mean, it was an incredible season, incredible people, incredible
Speaker 5: relationships that I'm going to have for the rest of
Speaker 5: my life.
Speaker 3: Didn't and the way we wanted to, but still an
Speaker 3: incredible year.
Speaker 2: And then here's his coach, John Shier on what happened.
Speaker 3: Well, it's hard to process still.
Speaker 9: And you know, I thought our guys did an incredible
Speaker 9: job the whole game, and you know, I thought we
Speaker 9: had some good looks didn't finish. You have to give
Speaker 9: Houston a ton of credit. And then still even with that,
Speaker 9: you know we have the lead and with under a
Speaker 9: minute ago, and I couldn't be more proud.
Speaker 3: I'm not I'm not about to hang our head. I mean,
Speaker 3: this is part of it.
Speaker 9: You got to you gotta handle the wins and you
Speaker 9: got to handle the losses too. And in a moment
Speaker 9: like this, you know we're this close, and you know
Speaker 9: we felt we were the best team. The best team
Speaker 9: tonight was Houston.
Speaker 2: You're up six with a little over thirty seconds to
Speaker 2: go with the ball and you're Duke. That's collapse, that's claps.
Speaker 2: But you can say, if you look at this a
Speaker 2: forced collapse because Houston, there's only so much they can do.
Speaker 2: If Duke doesn't turn the ball over, If Duke makes
Speaker 2: their shots, if they hit a free throw, then it
Speaker 2: doesn't it doesn't matter what Houston does. It takes two
Speaker 2: to collapse, two to tango. It takes two to collapse.
Speaker 2: We'll talk to Dan Hurley, the men's coach, coming up
Speaker 2: here in a little bit. The Lakers had a win
Speaker 2: against Oklahoma City, and they had a great night shooting,
Speaker 2: but the reason why I bring this up with the win,
Speaker 2: the Lakers have now won four their last five and
Speaker 2: they're in third place in the Western Conference. So if
Speaker 2: the playoffs started today or let's say Sunday, they would
Speaker 2: host the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round. The Thunder
Speaker 2: had the number one seed in the West. But the
Speaker 2: Lakers proved, at least for a game, that we can
Speaker 2: go toe to toe with the best team in basketball
Speaker 2: right now. But they did shoot the ball extremely well.
Speaker 2: Jake and Buffalo Hi, Jake, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 4: CDP?
Speaker 10: That's North Luica, no worse, but the best was my utskin.
Speaker 10: It's really cool to see that being able to witness history.
Speaker 10: I wasn't old enough to seecrets get the time, so
Speaker 10: getting lots of that sharing it with my kids was
Speaker 10: pretty cool. And a stat around that the lowly Buffalo
Speaker 10: Sabers are tied with the Jets for the longest active
Speaker 10: playoff drought and since the last time the Sabers had
Speaker 10: made the playoffs, Ovechkin had scored four hundred and ninety four.
Speaker 3: Of its goal.
Speaker 2: Staut of the Day brought to you by Benini America,
Speaker 2: the official trading cards to the Dan Patrick Schew who
Speaker 2: knew the Sabers were going to be catching strays today
Speaker 2: with Alex Ovechkin Terry in Rochester, Hi, Terry, what's on
Speaker 2: your mind?
Speaker 4: How are you doing today?
Speaker 2: Darren Good Terry?
Speaker 4: Long time I wanted to I've been one to say this, man,
Speaker 4: I couldn't. This is the first time I've been on
Speaker 4: this year. Man that that Minnesota record was a perfect
Speaker 4: example of what I've been talking about. I don't think
Speaker 4: you should, you know, really, you know, have a home
Speaker 4: field game if you're the division winner. But I would
Speaker 4: say it is if you have three to four, we
Speaker 4: can make it three. If you got three more wins
Speaker 4: than the division winner, you should have to go to
Speaker 4: the house. I think they would agree with that more
Speaker 4: than just oh we got a better record.
Speaker 3: So we go to their house.
Speaker 2: What do you think, Dan Well, I'm okay with receding,
Speaker 2: I am, But then we talked about that with college football,
Speaker 2: it's tougher with college football with the playoffs. To reced
Speaker 2: I think they got to take out the automatic qualifiers,
Speaker 2: the aqs, and let's just go buy record instead of
Speaker 2: you won the Big Twelve or you won the Mountain West.
Speaker 2: You should not get an automatic berth into the second round.
Speaker 2: But with the NFL playoffs, I'm fine with that. You
Speaker 2: want to reseed it great, you win your division, how
Speaker 2: many wins do you have? I think this will make
Speaker 2: the games later in the season mean more because you
Speaker 2: know you could host a playoff game. You know, if
Speaker 2: you're in Minnesota and you go, we're not going to
Speaker 2: be able to have the number one seed. Detroit will,
Speaker 2: but we're going to be able to host a playoff game.
Speaker 2: I think the added importance, and especially when we go
Speaker 2: to eighteen games. I just don't want to have a
Speaker 2: team have nothing to play for in the final three
Speaker 2: weeks of the season, and if you have to make
Speaker 2: sure that you have the best record, then you know,
Speaker 2: maybe these games will mean a little bit more.
Speaker 6: Yes, pulling while the NFL is making tweaks to the playoffs.
Speaker 6: Would you guys be in favor of this? And I
Speaker 6: have not seen it pose or suggested a team with
Speaker 6: a losing record cannot play in the playoffs. If you
Speaker 6: have a losing record, you don't qualify for the playoffs.
Speaker 6: Would you guys be in favor of that?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 6: Really, no, it doesn't happen often. Twenty ten Seattle. I
Speaker 6: think fourteen. It's happened like five times the past fifteen years.
Speaker 2: I don't think you should host a playoff game if
Speaker 2: you win your division and you have a losing record.
Speaker 8: Yes, yes, marm, because that means you would have to
Speaker 8: get rid of divisions. What good is it being a
Speaker 8: division champion if you can't get into the playoffs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but receding it, I'm fine with that. I
Speaker 2: don't have an issue with that. Eddie in New York,
Speaker 2: hy Eddie, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 11: A five eleven, two, twenty five, first time, longtime big fan.
Speaker 11: So I'm calling about the dynasty gino Oriema twelve championships
Speaker 11: in thirty years, Penn State Wrestling twelve championships in fifteen years.
Speaker 11: Cale Sanderson.
Speaker 2: All right, well, thank you, Eddie. Yeah, it's different. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's a secondary sport. They're really good at it. There's
Speaker 2: five schools that are really good at it. It feels
Speaker 2: like year in and year out, kind of decade in and
Speaker 2: out where you know you're gonna have Oklahoma State is
Speaker 2: always good and Penn State's always good, and I always
Speaker 2: always good. Uh, but yeah, there's there's a few more
Speaker 2: schools involved with this that are playing at a high
Speaker 2: level with the other sports. So yes, you do have
Speaker 2: I'm sure somebody's going to bring up, you know, waterpolo
Speaker 2: or baseball, and you know, fine, great, you can recognize them.
Speaker 2: It's just different when you're talking about different sports. All right,
Speaker 2: we'll take a break. Dan Hurley, the men's basketball coach
Speaker 2: at you come, will join us. Coming up next here,

Speaker 2: tomorrow or late tonight. Dan Hurley joining us on the program.
Speaker 2: Good to talk to you again, coach, did you watch
Speaker 2: the games? The semi final games?
Speaker 13: I did, unlike uh, you know, unlike after the twenty
Speaker 13: two season where you know where where we had that
Speaker 13: first round exit and I ignored the rest of the tournament. Uh. I,
Speaker 13: I've watched as many of the games as as I
Speaker 13: possibly could since we've been eliminated.
Speaker 2: You lose to Florida second round, But do you take
Speaker 2: any solace with the fact that Florida is here playing
Speaker 2: for a national championship?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do.
Speaker 13: I think it's a Uh, it's more honorable that, you know,
Speaker 13: kind of at the run we've been on, uh, you
Speaker 13: know where where we kind of fell at the hands
Speaker 13: of uh, you know, of a championship level team that's,
Speaker 13: you know, one game away from experiencing the championship glory.
Speaker 13: So yeah, I mean if we would have lost to
Speaker 13: like a lower seeded team or a team that, you know,
Speaker 13: it was not of the the championship caliber, I guess, uh,
Speaker 13: it feels more honorable. Uh you know, have a one
Speaker 13: thirteen in a row in that tournament. Uh, in the
Speaker 13: fashion we did, you.
Speaker 3: Know, to have it all uh, you know, to have
Speaker 3: it all.
Speaker 13: End at the hands of of the Gators, There's there's
Speaker 13: probably some honor in that.
Speaker 2: How do you explain what happened with Duke and Houston
Speaker 2: at the end of that game.
Speaker 13: I mean, I mean, I can't you know, imagine, you know,
Speaker 13: just kind of well, no, I can't imagine you know
Speaker 13: what what John and his.
Speaker 3: Staff and those players are feeling.
Speaker 13: I mean, it felt like, you know that they were
Speaker 13: the best team, you know, the best team in the
Speaker 13: country this year. I think their roster, the way they
Speaker 13: put it together was, uh, it was meticulous.
Speaker 3: I think the.
Speaker 13: Quality at both ends of the court, you know, was
Speaker 13: they were playing basketball at an incredibly high level, you know,
Speaker 13: with high level NBA players, But just the fact that
Speaker 13: they were not in enough close games, I think, you know,
Speaker 13: I think the fact that they dominated so much throughout
Speaker 13: conference play, I think, you know, the separation between them
Speaker 13: and the other teams and their conference really hurt them.
Speaker 13: When they got to those end of game situations where
Speaker 13: they haven't had to shoot a lot of pressure, want
Speaker 13: to pressure free throws, one on ones, they had to
Speaker 13: ind down the ball versus full denial. With a three
Speaker 13: point lead or a one point lead, they were you
Speaker 13: know that they were in a type of game that
Speaker 13: Houston had been in a bunch, you know, because of
Speaker 13: you know, playing in the Big twelve.
Speaker 3: Afforded them more opportunities, and I think that came back
Speaker 3: to haunt them.
Speaker 2: I brought this up a long time ago. I brought
Speaker 2: it up. Subsequently, you go back to you and l
Speaker 2: V when you and LV blew out Duke, your brother's team,
Speaker 2: and then that following year and we thought they were invincible.
Speaker 2: And I remember talking about you want to see a
Speaker 2: team play a close game. You just want to have
Speaker 2: that feeling you know what you're doing. And this isn't
Speaker 2: all on the freshman at Duke, but still you got
Speaker 2: young players, and you got a veteran Houston team, and
Speaker 2: sometimes freshmen act like freshmen, no matter how great they are.
Speaker 2: But as a coach, what role would you play in
Speaker 2: a situation like that?
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think you know some of the I would
Speaker 13: say the situational things that you experience in a you know,
Speaker 13: with that true game pressure, you know, and and you know,
Speaker 13: Duke goes in as the favorite, just kind of like
Speaker 13: we were last year, where you know, we're playing at such
Speaker 13: a high level. They had, uh, you know, dominated the
Speaker 13: first you know, four rounds of the tournament. Obviously, the
Speaker 13: Arizona game ended up being an eight point game or
Speaker 13: an eight point win. But you know, at times in
Speaker 13: that game, they they they look dominant. But I just
Speaker 13: think that they You could practice situational basketball all you want,
Speaker 13: but you cannot simulate the game pressure that you feel,
Speaker 13: you know, when your inbounder has got to run the
Speaker 13: baseline and throw a pass through a narrow window to
Speaker 13: a player being face guarded by a wolf. I mean,
Speaker 13: Houston's got some wolves out there, you know, making it
Speaker 13: really tough on you.
Speaker 3: And you know, for us.
Speaker 13: Last year, we weren't very good in close games, you know,
Speaker 13: the games during the course of the year. I don't
Speaker 13: think we were great in one possession games the last
Speaker 13: two years. But there was a window I think for
Speaker 13: duking that game to keep that game double figures, keep
Speaker 13: that game twelve fourteen, back down to ten, get it
Speaker 13: back up to fifteen, you know, but they just they
Speaker 13: stop scoring.
Speaker 2: The difference in coaching a freshman and coaching a junior,
Speaker 2: what's the biggest difference.
Speaker 13: I just think, you know, repetitions, game experiences, you know,
Speaker 13: just having been in those positions you know before, you know,
Speaker 13: more practices under their belt, more uh, you know, more
Speaker 13: life experiences. You know, just you know a little bit
Speaker 13: more you know maturity a little more. Uh, you know,
Speaker 13: worldliness a little bit. You know, just a little bit more,
Speaker 13: you know, prepared to have experienced more failures, have experienced uh,
Speaker 13: you know, different types of successes, just a little little uh,
Speaker 13: a little more.
Speaker 2: Grizzled talking to Dan Hurley, You're still the reigning national
Speaker 2: champs at least for twelve more hours.
Speaker 3: That's why I got.
Speaker 13: I'm wearing it today, Dan, I'm wearing it.
Speaker 2: Uh. There's a trophy behind you. There's a pair of
Speaker 2: shoes on top of that trophy. Whose shoes are those?
Speaker 3: Oh? J R. Smith? Uh? You know j R. Swish?
Speaker 13: That was my first great player that played for me
Speaker 13: at at say Benleix and uh the first I went
Speaker 13: to the NBA out of high school, so was Uh.
Speaker 3: That was his rookie year shoe with the hornets.
Speaker 2: Okay, any other memorabilia that might surprise us?
Speaker 14: Uh, I got, Well, I think a lot of people
Speaker 14: like the underwear over Those are my underwear. Not many
Speaker 14: men have their underwear on a plaque in their office.
Speaker 3: Uh. Obviously the gladiator health that explains a lot.
Speaker 13: About me right there, the lion head behind it.
Speaker 2: You haven't gotten in trouble in a while have you.
Speaker 3: No, I've I've got a lot of self aware. Well
Speaker 3: I don't have a lot of self I have enough.
Speaker 13: I have enough self awareness and situational awareness that I
Speaker 13: skipped San Antonio, and uh I decided not to parade
Speaker 13: myself around the final four and to uh, you know,
Speaker 13: to take a break, to let people have a little
Speaker 13: bit of a break.
Speaker 3: For me, and then uh, you know, just to you know,
Speaker 3: reflect on the.
Speaker 13: Year, the run we've been on, and uh, obviously, uh
Speaker 13: it was the first real chance Dan I've had really
Speaker 13: since we were eliminated for the tournament twenty two, you know,
Speaker 13: through to that Florida loss in the tournament.
Speaker 3: You know, your lot, my life's been a whirlwind.
Speaker 13: Uh of some incredible moments and and some moments that
Speaker 13: uh you know are art is uh arnest art is great.
Speaker 2: But I remember when you turned down the Lakers and
Speaker 2: we talked and you said you weren't mature enough yet
Speaker 2: for a job like that. Your words, Yeah, all right,
Speaker 2: how do you mature?
Speaker 7: Like?
Speaker 2: What do you what do you what are are you
Speaker 2: doing anything to mature?
Speaker 3: You know that That's a tough one.
Speaker 13: I think Number one, I'll say this, A lot of
Speaker 13: I feel like, the biggest mistake I made this year
Speaker 13: was not being able to uh, you know, put together
Speaker 13: uh and develop a championship team. You know, I when
Speaker 13: I look at this year for me, you know that
Speaker 13: that's the thing that I regret the most is that
Speaker 13: I wasn't able to uh, you know, to put together
Speaker 13: another team that was could experience championship glory. You know,
Speaker 13: some of the things I think that uh, you know,
Speaker 13: whether it's you know, my relationship with officials, or you know,
Speaker 13: some of the fan interactions or the different things that
Speaker 13: that come with me. Part of what makes me successful
Speaker 13: is uh is my passion, it's my intensity. It's it's
Speaker 13: this you know, when when you're winning it, when you're
Speaker 13: winning championships, these these same things have gone on when
Speaker 13: you're winning championships.
Speaker 3: It's called relentlessness.
Speaker 13: You know, I've been called relentless the past two years,
Speaker 13: even though I've been experiencing the same types of interactions
Speaker 13: with fans and officials. You know, this year it's been called, uh,
Speaker 13: you know, immature, It's been called a lot of things
Speaker 13: because you know, my team isn't on top. I haven't
Speaker 13: changed a whole lot that way.
Speaker 2: If you had a little earpiece and your wife was
Speaker 2: allowed to talk to you on the sideline during a game.
Speaker 2: How do you think that would go.
Speaker 3: I think that I'd be here stop shut up.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean I would say that from a I
Speaker 13: think that my relationships with officials. Now you know the
Speaker 13: Florida You know the Florida post game. I regret that
Speaker 13: one greatly. You know that that was I There was
Speaker 13: literally one play call.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 13: There was one drive to the rim that I felt,
Speaker 13: if we clearly got fouled on, that would have kept
Speaker 13: that game in a two possession game. That was just
Speaker 13: it was ringing in my mind. And it wasn't like
Speaker 13: multiple calls I felt were miss dan. It was just
Speaker 13: this one play, uh that I could not get out
Speaker 13: of my mind as I was heading through that tunnel
Speaker 13: and as I saw the Baylor players. I deeply regret that.
Speaker 13: I mean we we we missed a lot of open shots.
Speaker 13: And credit Florida and Clayton. I mean this, Uh, you
Speaker 13: know the their their championship level, but you know.
Speaker 3: That one I regret deeply. I didn't believe.
Speaker 13: That, and then that was embarrassing when I look at
Speaker 13: other ones that were, you know, embarrassing that I'm the
Speaker 13: best coach in the country. That was embarrassing. I wish
Speaker 13: somebody could have stopped me from having that moment.
Speaker 3: A lot of some of the fan interactions.
Speaker 13: I've got to get somebody I think that maybe could
Speaker 13: just walk me on and off the court. Maybe like
Speaker 13: college football has those guys that walk the coach to
Speaker 13: the other coach and then just get them off the court.
Speaker 13: Maybe I need to get somebody that could just when
Speaker 13: the game ends, just get me on and.
Speaker 3: Off the court.
Speaker 13: Because I don't think that my in game coaching I
Speaker 13: want to change a lot because we've been really successful.
Speaker 2: But what is it about officials?
Speaker 13: Though I don't think it's as bad as it's made
Speaker 13: out to be. I I've watched these other officials, and listen,
Speaker 13: I've earned you, earn your reputation.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 13: I'm definitely a tough coach to officiate because I'm very demanding,
Speaker 13: uh And I value every single possession in the game
Speaker 13: because I know how important they are, you know. And
Speaker 13: and but I've also modeled myself after maybe an older,
Speaker 13: you know, generation of coaches. You know, I'm just an
Speaker 13: intense coach, and I think I'm intense in a very
Speaker 13: similar way. To Coach Sampson tonight. I think if you
Speaker 13: watch Coach Sampson closely tonight, he's a very intense coach
Speaker 13: and he's going to be very demanding of the officials.
Speaker 2: Well you're like your dad, though you would.
Speaker 3: Hate my father, I mean everyone and my dad.
Speaker 2: I know. I like being around your dad socially. When
Speaker 2: he puts his teeth in and he you know, you know,
Speaker 2: we we have a conversation. I enjoyed being around him.
Speaker 2: We were I don't know what we were watching, like,
Speaker 2: I don't know, some sitcom or not even a sitcom,
Speaker 2: is some cop show. When I went to his apartment
Speaker 2: in Jersey City, and I'm going, it seems really nice.
Speaker 2: He's just a nice guy. Then you hear these horror
Speaker 2: stories about how demanding your dad was.
Speaker 13: Yeah, well, I mean, Dan, you know, it's like you've
Speaker 13: got to be able to separate the competitor, you know,
Speaker 13: the combatants.
Speaker 2: But could you coach like this like you are right now? No,
Speaker 2: you couldn't. Just be like, it.
Speaker 13: Doesn't line up with our play style. It doesn't lie okay,
Speaker 13: with the intensity that we play with. It doesn't. It
Speaker 13: doesn't line up with how we attack the offensive. Glass
Speaker 13: or you know how hard we played defensively. And it's
Speaker 13: not just me, it's our whole bench. I mean, we
Speaker 13: leave the country in warnings from officials to have everyone
Speaker 13: sit down. I mean everyone on my bench is like
Speaker 13: out of pocket, like I'm it's it's just we're an
Speaker 13: emotional program. We're a passionate program. And I don't think
Speaker 13: I'm gonna change a whole lot of that. I would like,
Speaker 13: but I do you know, upon reflection, I think that
Speaker 13: the interaction with you know, people not on my team
Speaker 13: or you know, I would like to probably have less
Speaker 13: of that.
Speaker 2: When do you walk down the hall to congratulate Geno?
Speaker 3: I guess I'm gonna wait for him, maybe to sober up.
Speaker 3: I mean I wouldn't remember.
Speaker 2: I talked to him last hour.
Speaker 3: How did he look?
Speaker 2: He looked like a million bucks, hair was calmed. I
Speaker 2: mean he looked like Gino.
Speaker 3: I mean he he he.
Speaker 13: I mean, we we text, we talk, you know, we
Speaker 13: were texting before you know, all of his games and
Speaker 13: and I mean he he saved my season from completely
Speaker 13: unraveling in November. So I owe a lot to Gino.
Speaker 13: And what did he do?
Speaker 3: I mean, right when we.
Speaker 13: Got back from Maui as as I as I had
Speaker 13: erupted like a volcano in Maui and and come back
Speaker 13: to try to pick the pieces up.
Speaker 3: I was in a bad, bad place. I was coaching, angry,
Speaker 3: I was coaching frustrated.
Speaker 13: You know, I knew I didn't have deep down, I knew,
Speaker 13: you know, I didn't have a team that could compete
Speaker 13: for a championship. And I was trying to come to
Speaker 13: grips with that, and and he helped kind of talk
Speaker 13: me through, you know, like if all you're in this
Speaker 13: for is to win championships, and and like if that's
Speaker 13: the only joy that you get from coaching, you've become
Speaker 13: basically a monster.
Speaker 2: How's the transfer portal by the way.
Speaker 13: Oh my god, Yeah, I mean like no one is
Speaker 13: I mean when I that Monday, when when you come
Speaker 13: to the realization that like literally no one is on
Speaker 13: your team, you know, like that Monday, Because even if
Speaker 13: you're not in the portal, because it's now a lot
Speaker 13: of it is being conducted by agents, you know, so
Speaker 13: even if you're not in the portal, you're you're you're
Speaker 13: in the portal because schools now, you know, they they
Speaker 13: reach out for the agent and you know, the these
Speaker 13: agents are representing the players. So even if a player
Speaker 13: hasn't kind of formally gotten in the portal, schools will
Speaker 13: now reach out for agents and make offers to players,
Speaker 13: you know, that way indirectly, and and a lot of
Speaker 13: deals I guess are agreed upon before players even go in, uh,
Speaker 13: which is not the way that that we do business.
Speaker 2: We you know, it's it's a mess how many players
Speaker 2: are officially on your roster.
Speaker 13: I think right now I could sit here and say
Speaker 13: that we definitely have eight players on our team, you know,
Speaker 13: and we could have as many as ten. I think,
Speaker 13: you know, maybe two potentially or are are undecided whether
Speaker 13: that's you know, going to the NBA. Obviously, Alice Caraban's
Speaker 13: got to make a decision what he wants to do
Speaker 13: with this last year, you know, I'd imagine he'll be
Speaker 13: deciding at some point soon here, maybe this week, and
Speaker 13: then you know, then we have another player who's you know, deciding.
Speaker 13: So yeah, I mean right now and listen, it's better
Speaker 13: than it was. You know, last week, I think there
Speaker 13: was a point where I think I felt like I
Speaker 13: had like one guy plus the high school guys, and
Speaker 13: we got three McDonald's all Americans and a Tasmanian dude
Speaker 13: who I think is gonna be really good.
Speaker 3: So we're excited about that.
Speaker 2: If you need help and filling out the roster like practicing,
Speaker 2: just let me know. Wait, don't laugh like that.
Speaker 3: We're used to deep.
Speaker 13: When you get used to deep runs, Dan, I feel
Speaker 13: like I gotta do better.
Speaker 3: You do.
Speaker 2: Good to talk to you. Thank you, coach. That's Dan Hurley,
Speaker 2: eleven hours that he's still the defending national champs. Two
Speaker 2: time defending national champs. All right, we'll take a break.
Speaker 2: Last call for phone calls, What we learn, what's in
Speaker 2: store tomorrow? After this, be sure to catch the live
Speaker 2: edition of The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine am
Speaker 2: Eastern six am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the
Speaker 2: iHeartRadio WAPP. Last call for phone calls, What we learn,
Speaker 2: What's in store tomorrow. If you're expecting Dan Hurley to
Speaker 2: be different on the sidelines next year, think again. You know,
Speaker 2: he'll apologize for these moments that he has and he did,
Speaker 2: but I don't think he can change. And also, this
Speaker 2: is who he is, this is how he coaches, this
Speaker 2: is how his team plays. And I think if he's
Speaker 2: going to try to be a watered down version. Then
Speaker 2: he's cheating himself and he's cheating his team. And I
Speaker 2: don't know if he was serious about having a guy
Speaker 2: who would be there to say, hey, let's get off
Speaker 2: the court, don't engage with the fans. But he does
Speaker 2: say things like, you know, I never should have said,
Speaker 2: you know, on the face of college basketball, even if
Speaker 2: it's true or not, but you know, engaging with fans,
Speaker 2: and you know, mentioning he won two national titles. And
Speaker 2: the area where he's talking about the officials bleeped them
Speaker 2: when the Baylor players were taking the court. You know,
Speaker 2: that's usually where reporters aren't supposed to be. And somebody
Speaker 2: caught him in that moment. But I think he's apologizing
Speaker 2: for moments, but he's not going to change, and I
Speaker 2: understand that. Let's see, how about this day in sports history.
Speaker 6: Paul nineteen fifty five, fort Wayne beat Syracuse seventy four
Speaker 6: to seventy one, lowest scoring NBA playoff game since the
Speaker 6: shot clock was introduced the twenty four second shot clock.
Speaker 6: Bob Coosey nineteen fifty nine nineteen assists in a playoff
Speaker 6: game against Minneapolis, and.
Speaker 2: He couldn't stop him he was a genius. He's a magician.
Speaker 6: Nineteen sixty three, at the age of twenty three, Jack
Speaker 6: Nicholas became the youngest golfer to win the Green jacket
Speaker 6: at the Masters Tournament.
Speaker 2: First of his six Masters on this date in nineteen
Speaker 2: sixty nine. This pitcher is credited with baseball's first official save,
Speaker 2: first official save in nineteen sixty nine, Bill Singer of
Speaker 2: the Dodgers, I didn't know that, Ernie Else? What sorry,
Speaker 2: Ernie Else? In twenty sixteen, seven puts from two feet away,
Speaker 2: he had a ten on the par four first hole
Speaker 2: at the Masters. Seven punch from two feet away. Now
Speaker 2: I've put it on that first green. I didn't need
Speaker 2: seven putts.
Speaker 3: I think I.
Speaker 2: Bogate it both times I played it. Shot in eighty one,
Speaker 2: eighty three, eighty one. Yeah, I improved by two shots.
Speaker 6: He has bo I'm watching the video of Ernie l
Speaker 6: seven putting, and the first one he sets up like
Speaker 6: a normal putt. Then he starts like nonchalantly tapping it
Speaker 6: and getting more and more frustrated. It's surreal.
Speaker 2: Seven punch from two feet away. I had a ten.
Speaker 2: I'm watching it. I can't watch it.
Speaker 6: And he's like a great player.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he's a Hall of Famer. Dang, dang, it's tough.
Speaker 2: What else happened on this date? Carmelo twenty ten and
Speaker 2: seven assists as Syracuse beats Kansas for the National Championship
Speaker 2: two thousand and three. Carmelo Anthony Hall of Famer, great player,
Speaker 2: Jersey should been retired, put up in the rapters. Dwight
Speaker 2: Howard going into the Hall of Fame. Yes, Tom, He's
Speaker 2: expected to join us sometime this week. Okay, yeah, Dwight Howard.
Speaker 2: He had an incredible run in Orlando. Okay. Jonathan and Phoenix, Hi, Jonathan,
Speaker 2: what's on your mind today?
Speaker 15: Hey, Dad's second time callers. So I just wanted to
Speaker 15: talk about how I also suffer from affliction just like you.
Speaker 15: But I think we need to give a voice and
Speaker 15: the outlet to all of us. I think there's more
Speaker 15: of us out there than we realized.
Speaker 4: But I also.
Speaker 15: Enjoy watching sub five hundred and be a basketball on
Speaker 15: a Tuesday night, and so it's called on it. She's
Speaker 15: my watch and family. But I think we need a voice,
Speaker 15: and I have a T shirt idea. I need some
Speaker 15: help workshopping with the dnets, but something along the lines
Speaker 15: of you know, I watched sub five hundred basketball Tuesday
Speaker 15: or bad basketball? Watch is anonymous something like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I'm not anonymous. I'm proud to be somebody
Speaker 2: you know that I did watch. I watched G League basketball?
Speaker 2: Was it live last night? Marvin? It was okay because
Speaker 2: it was playoff basketball at its best, the Ociola Magic
Speaker 2: and you had the Main Celtics formerly the Main Red Clause. Yes,
Speaker 2: and I was watching that as if I'm watching March
Speaker 2: Madness and it was great.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 8: Time, Well, the Main Celtics played for Boston.
Speaker 3: These are the other Celtics.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Todd, Yes, Maine Celtics, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2: Would you prefer G.
Speaker 12: League teams to be affiliated with NBA teams like they
Speaker 12: are like a minor league system, or to be completely independent?
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. I'm still gonna watch and it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: I made it sad. It really was sad.
Speaker 1: It's not.
Speaker 2: It's not sad. You just love the game. I do
Speaker 2: love the game. I just I always feel like, if
Speaker 2: I'm not watching, is anybody else watching? And they deserve
Speaker 2: to be watched because I would want somebody to watch
Speaker 2: me if I was playing, And something like that, Yes, marm.
Speaker 8: It gets weird when you're watching high school basketball and
Speaker 8: your wife's like, you got to pick up a hobby
Speaker 8: or something.
Speaker 2: This is my hobby.
Speaker 3: I want to watch the Boozer twins.
Speaker 2: I know, and now are they both going to duke
Speaker 2: or just one?
Speaker 8: They're both going to do okay losing the final four.
Speaker 2: Next year if they look good, they are good in
Speaker 2: that All Star game, Todd, what did I learn?
Speaker 8: Marvin reminds us those not watching the other Celtics and
Speaker 8: Magic last night the G League playoff, it just means more.
Speaker 2: Thanks for the phone calls, emails, tweets, they all around support.
Speaker 2: We'll try to do better tomorrow. Have a great day, everybody,
