Speaker 1: You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Hour two on this Monday, Best and worst
Speaker 1: of the weekend.
Speaker 2: What you saw that you liked? You didn't like? The
Speaker 2: SEC they can also play basketball. Seven teams in the
Speaker 2: Sweet sixteen, breaking the tournament record for most teams from
Speaker 2: one conference in the sweet six team. The ACC had
Speaker 2: six back in twenty sixteen, and the previous high for
Speaker 2: the SEC was four. They did that three times. You
Speaker 2: have the Big Ten, you have the SEC, and you
Speaker 2: have the rest of the college basketball world. Jay Billis
Speaker 2: will join us coming up here in a little bit.
Speaker 2: John Caliperi in an hour from now, the Arkansas head coach,
Speaker 2: and Bill Simmons with his documentary on the Celtics, Bill
Speaker 2: of course, with the Ringer.
Speaker 3: Eight seven seven to three.
Speaker 2: DP show email address Dpatdanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle it
Speaker 2: DP show poll question from our one Seaton was what
Speaker 2: and what are we going to go with an hour two?
Speaker 3: We got a couple up there now.
Speaker 4: We also have sort of curating people's suggestions. What word
Speaker 4: better describes the tournament other than madness? So far, the
Speaker 4: leader in the clubhouse on that one is march mehness. Okay,
Speaker 4: that's pretty good. I don't know that we're going to
Speaker 4: be able to beat that. We also have March Blandness,
Speaker 4: which is sort of along the Todd line of things,
Speaker 4: but March mehs okay, it's pretty good, pretty good. We
Speaker 4: also have up there, Old Please, Old Please.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: By the way, DraftKings has the odds to win the tournament,
Speaker 2: it's Duke Florida, Houston, Auburn, and then Tennessee is a
Speaker 2: distant fifth on that list.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: See, NCAA tournament is better with more underdogs or heavyweights.
Speaker 4: Right now, sixty eight percent of the audience saying underdogs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you like them now, I think you
Speaker 2: like them in the sweet sixteen and the Elite eight,
Speaker 2: you like at least one. It's just hard to look
Speaker 2: at John Calipari Arkansas and go they're the feel good
Speaker 2: story or the underdog story of this tournament. I'm going
Speaker 2: to ask John if he feels like an underdog because
Speaker 2: all those years at Kentucky, that wasn't a feel good
Speaker 2: story or an underdog story. Eight seven seven to three
Speaker 2: DP show email address Dpatdanpatrick dot com, Twitter handle at
Speaker 2: DP show. So all four number one seeds survive reached
Speaker 2: the sweet sixteen. That's the second consecutive year and as
Speaker 2: mentioned with the SEC also, we don't have any team
Speaker 2: that's seed at eleven or lower reaching the sweet sixteen.
Speaker 2: That's just the fifth time that's happened. Since the tournament
Speaker 2: expanded to sixty four teams, there's been a lot of
Speaker 2: talk about a couple of things. You know, there's probably
Speaker 2: been more talk about the NIL transfer portal and expanding
Speaker 2: the tournament than maybe the tournament itself. Like we're not
Speaker 2: really seeing any headlines. Yukon lost, but you know, I
Speaker 2: think people thought they were going to lose to Florida.
Speaker 3: Saint John's getting bounced.
Speaker 2: That was certainly a big story in the New York area,
Speaker 2: the East Coast area with Rick Patino. You know, now
Speaker 2: we're looking at Houston and Auburn, Duke and Florida. But
Speaker 2: it feels like this expansion like it's kind of lingering.
Speaker 2: And I was talking to an NCAA source over the
Speaker 2: weekend and he said, you were on you know what
Speaker 2: you said on Friday is what's going to happen, and
Speaker 2: that is the first four is going to be expanded.
Speaker 2: You'll probably have maybe eight more teams and you'll have,
Speaker 2: you know, a couple of different first four sites. They're
Speaker 2: not going to mess with the seeding. He wanted to,
Speaker 2: you know, make sure that I emphasized that the one
Speaker 2: through sixteen, keeping those seeds that's really important for the tournament.
Speaker 2: March Madness, because we got caught up in a sixteen
Speaker 2: beating a one. Like that always comes up every single year.
Speaker 2: They like that. The question is how many teams are
Speaker 2: you going to add and when are you going to
Speaker 2: add them. It's just like with the playoffs with college football.
Speaker 2: I knew that once they went from four to twelve,
Speaker 2: they weren't going to stay at twelve because there's so
Speaker 2: much money at stake, and now you can get more teams,
Speaker 2: more bowl games, mean more things, there's more.
Speaker 3: Money for everybody.
Speaker 2: And that's why expansion will happen, maybe not this next year,
Speaker 2: but the year after that.
Speaker 3: Go from twelve to fourteen.
Speaker 2: But they won't stop there because they look at the
Speaker 2: March Madness model and you can't have that many teams
Speaker 2: being in a playoff. But you know, college basketball, everybody
Speaker 2: is in the playoffs. Everybody can qualify. It's you start eliminating,
Speaker 2: you know, you get eliminated. In you know, October, November, December, January.
Speaker 2: It's you get teams that get knocked out along the way.
Speaker 2: It's just we do it officially with March Madness. But
Speaker 2: everybody gets a chance. All of these Division I schools,
Speaker 2: you get an opportunity. You win your conference, you get
Speaker 2: to go to the tournament, so you have the playoffs
Speaker 2: going on. It's just not you know, a designated month
Speaker 2: with March Madness. Stat of the Day has always brought
Speaker 2: to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of
Speaker 2: the program. And everything's on sale at Danpatrick dot com.
Speaker 2: Great deals there. Everything is under twenty dollars. Make sure
Speaker 2: you take us up on that offer. While you're there,
Speaker 2: sign up for the newsletter.
Speaker 3: It was a good.
Speaker 2: Weekend college basketball. I mean, you had some high end basketball.
Speaker 2: You had the one surprise, you know, with Maryland winning
Speaker 2: at the buzzer.
Speaker 3: Was it a travel would you have called it a travel?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 3: Een yeah. Just quickly on Kentucky.
Speaker 4: It's kind of interesting, how like somebody just tweeted this
Speaker 4: at us that maybe Kentucky and coach cal are better
Speaker 4: without each other.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes they are. That's that's so interesting. They are.
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the Kentucky roster twenty two years of age,
Speaker 2: twenty two years of age, twenty two, twenty two, twenty three,
Speaker 2: twenty three. That's not a John Caliperry roster. But I
Speaker 2: think coach call had taken them as far as he
Speaker 2: was going to take them. Mark Pope played at Kentucky.
Speaker 2: They brought him in. Really good coach, and it's just
Speaker 2: a different philosophy.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: See that roster is also called the good Luck next year.
Speaker 4: I think they'll better enjoy this one because next year
Speaker 4: is gonna be a whole new team.
Speaker 3: Let's see how that goes. They'll be okay, They're gonna
Speaker 3: be okay. Pie to the face, Yeah, Luke and Kentucky. Oh,
Speaker 3: does Kentucky make the tournament next year? Is that what
Speaker 3: you're saying? Let's go pie to the face all right?
Speaker 4: Apparently everybody from there makes the tournament, So we're gonna
Speaker 4: have to see do they get out of the first round?
Speaker 2: Maybe Luke and Kentucky. Hi, Luke, what's on your mind?
Speaker 6: Hey?
Speaker 7: Good morning, first time long time one sixty five seven
Speaker 7: but hardening still hard. So my best of the weekend
Speaker 7: and worst of the weekend, Best of the Arkansas win
Speaker 7: over Saint John's showcasing resilience and just refuse.
Speaker 3: It to quit.
Speaker 7: The worst was really the vitriolic reactions from Kentucky fans
Speaker 7: who are die hard and really being upset with John
Speaker 7: Teller Perry's early tournament's success in Cleveland, UK.
Speaker 5: It was disappointing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Kentucky fan, No, I can't speak for everybody, but
Speaker 2: certainly felt like Kentucky was ready to move on from John.
Speaker 2: John realized this. He had a good friend, big booster
Speaker 2: at Arkansas, and it was you know what I have
Speaker 2: to win every single years. That's Kentucky basketball. And now
Speaker 2: not that Arkansas doesn't expect greatness, because they've had some
Speaker 2: great coaches, you know, when you go down through history
Speaker 2: and some great ones. Musselman was really good, you know,
Speaker 2: forty minutes a hell. I mean, they've had Nolan Richardson.
Speaker 2: I mean, they've had and had really good players there.
Speaker 2: It's just weird that Kentucky's in the tournament. Kentucky's in
Speaker 2: the sweet sixteen, but you're still living vicariously through John Kelipering.
Speaker 2: It's best for both. You needed a separation here and
Speaker 2: both benefited. You know, keep in mind when Arkansas went
Speaker 2: zero to five. I'm sure Kentucky fans were like, eh, okay,
Speaker 2: let's see how good a coach you are. And maybe
Speaker 2: John has to you know, he's reinventing himself as a
Speaker 2: better coach. He was a great recruiter, great, but when
Speaker 2: you get to the tournament, you got a coach, and
Speaker 2: I don't think he did great jobs there. When you're
Speaker 2: bowing out early, now that's on the coach too.
Speaker 8: Yeah, Pauline, we always joke on this show that whenever
Speaker 8: some of the someone says they've parted ways, well that's
Speaker 8: never true. If someone fires someone or someone quits.
Speaker 6: The Colin party.
Speaker 3: Situation was perfect.
Speaker 8: He saw the writing on the wall his last two
Speaker 8: years a Kentucky twenty two and twelve, twenty three and
Speaker 8: ten didn't advance deep, and he said, okay, let's save
Speaker 8: everyone awkward situation.
Speaker 3: Let's move on, take a new job. And it worked
Speaker 3: out great for everybody.
Speaker 2: Auburn, Houston, Florida Duke all advance, Connecticut gets dropped, Saint
Speaker 2: John's Wisconsin also out, and Xavier's coach is no longer.
Speaker 2: Xavier's coach, Sean Miller is bolting for Texas Lucas in Texas. Hi, Luke,
Speaker 2: what's on your mind today?
Speaker 9: Hey day, good morning? Best and worst of the weekend.
Speaker 9: I have to say my worst would be, you know,
Speaker 9: my one of my final four picks going a little
Speaker 9: pops to premature out of there, So thank you Saint
Speaker 9: John's and yep, never good. But I will say my best,
Speaker 9: although this might also be the worst. It makes me
Speaker 9: a terrible dad.
Speaker 10: I'm not sure.
Speaker 9: My kids, they're young, they're just kind of getting to
Speaker 9: you know, watch games and whatnot, and they have the
Speaker 9: habit of always picking the team when the game would
Speaker 9: come on. They were rooting for the team that was winning,
Speaker 9: and so I was trying to say, well, you need
Speaker 9: to stick with the team, root for the whole game.
Speaker 9: So we started one game fresh. He said, there's no
Speaker 9: we don't know the score, we're gonna pick, and our
Speaker 9: whole family picked uh And I was the only one
Speaker 9: that picked against them. That game happened to be My
Speaker 9: entire family picked Colorado State and I picked Maryland. So
Speaker 9: am I a good dad or bad dad for celebrating
Speaker 9: being the only one to win that game.
Speaker 2: It's a teaching moment there, Lucas. I mean, these kids
Speaker 2: got to learn you got to learn heartbreak, heartache. I
Speaker 2: always wonder, you know, I joke about it, but when
Speaker 2: you're a parent and somebody has probably passed down maybe
Speaker 2: from your father, this is the team you root for,
Speaker 2: like not a you know, it's not a question, it's
Speaker 2: that that's who you root for. I mean, imagine being
Speaker 2: a parent and they hand it down to you that
Speaker 2: you're a Jets fan, and then you're going to do
Speaker 2: that to your child. And I always joke about maybe
Speaker 2: the authorities need to come in, like you need to
Speaker 2: have sports authorities that come in and say, hey, hey, Mike,
Speaker 2: don't do that to a little Tommy here, don't make
Speaker 2: him a Jets fan.
Speaker 3: Let him pick his own team. But I was never
Speaker 3: handed a team. I think.
Speaker 2: I remember watching the Cleveland Browns where I grew up
Speaker 2: in Ohio. They were on every Sunday, so that was
Speaker 2: my team. And then I moved to Cincinnati, and then
Speaker 2: the Bengals were there, and then I was a Bengals fan.
Speaker 2: Like I didn't I didn't care, but I was there
Speaker 2: in Cincinnati. But it's not like I didn't go, Golly,
Speaker 2: you gave me the Bengals, and the Bengals were really
Speaker 2: bad for a long time.
Speaker 3: But it's not like I was. I don't know.
Speaker 2: It felt like my dad said, you're no, You're gonna
Speaker 2: be a I went from a Browns fan they won
Speaker 2: a lot, and then I'm a Bengals fan.
Speaker 3: You know. He was like, he can root for whoever
Speaker 3: you want.
Speaker 8: Yeah, Pauland there must be such a natural pressure on
Speaker 8: children to root for their dad's team, to hang out
Speaker 8: with them and spend time with them. And you just
Speaker 8: want to hang out, you don't really care about the
Speaker 8: wins or losses, and then you develop into a real
Speaker 8: sports fan who who cried and gets upset.
Speaker 2: I got this tweet from Bill Dozer. Hey, it was
Speaker 2: my birthday yesterday. Had a very difficult time the last
Speaker 2: couple of decades I've suffered. I'm only thirty seven. My
Speaker 2: only wish would be everyone saying, suck it, Sarb. He's
Speaker 2: a good friend of mine. You guys make my morning's
Speaker 2: worth it. So all together, there you go, we make
Speaker 2: dreams come true. All right, Well take a break, Jay

Speaker 2: coach with Duke, and of course motherships lead college basketball analysts.
Speaker 2: There hasn't been much madness here. Jay, We need another word, March?
Speaker 2: What for you so far with this tournament?
Speaker 5: It's March.
Speaker 12: It's happened before, but people don't seem to remember it
Speaker 12: like this is not the first time we've had a
Speaker 12: tournament quite like this. It's happened many times before. But
Speaker 12: you know, in this age of facile interpretation, we're going
Speaker 12: to immediately blame anil in the transfer portal because we
Speaker 12: didn't have a mid major breakthrough. We didn't have as
Speaker 12: many buzzer beaters as one can remember in another year.
Speaker 12: But you know, you go back to two thousand and eight,
Speaker 12: all four number one seeds made it to the final
Speaker 12: four in San Antonio, and so what are we to
Speaker 12: take from that, or seven years ago we had the
Speaker 12: same number of major conference teams breakthrough versus mid majors.
Speaker 12: What are we to take from that? You know, one
Speaker 12: one data point does not make a trend. And if
Speaker 12: we have this five years in a row or five
Speaker 12: out of CI then I think we can talk about it.
Speaker 12: But right now it's just it's just another year.
Speaker 3: Was that traveling at the end of the Maryland game?
Speaker 5: I didn't think so. When I looked at it live.
Speaker 12: As you know, you know, the the you get two
Speaker 12: steps after you complete the gather and uh, and it
Speaker 12: looked fine to me. But if we're going to look
Speaker 12: at it like the Zapruder film, like what what I
Speaker 12: always look at when I hear officials or supervisors talk
Speaker 12: about a call afterwards and basically justify it and say, Okay,
Speaker 12: this was the right call given the circumstance. What I
Speaker 12: always ask him is all right, if it had been
Speaker 12: called the other way, would you say that was a
Speaker 12: bad call? And I think if it were a call
Speaker 12: to travel, all of the all of the supervisors and
Speaker 12: people who are on television critiquing the officials former officials,
Speaker 12: they would they would have justified the call as a
Speaker 12: travel to It's one of those It's one of those calls.
Speaker 2: But then we would have had an underdog with Colorado
Speaker 2: State making the Sweet sixteen, Which leads me to is
Speaker 2: Arkansas a feel good story? Are they an underdog?
Speaker 5: Not really?
Speaker 12: I mean, and that's sort of the thing when you
Speaker 12: talk about double digit seeds, like last year we had
Speaker 12: a double digit seed make the final four in NC State.
Speaker 12: You really think an ACC teams an underdog or a Cinderella.
Speaker 12: It depends on your definition of it. Arkansas, if they
Speaker 12: were healthy all year long, they would not have been
Speaker 12: a tense They weren't healthy. So I think what cal
Speaker 12: Perry has done is frankly amazing. They've been absent their
Speaker 12: leading scorer at dow theo who transferred in with Cal
Speaker 12: from Kentucky, Boogie Flann, their hot shot freshman who was
Speaker 12: their leading scorer until about two months ago when he
Speaker 12: injured his hand just came back. He's only played like
Speaker 12: one or two games. It's remarking, and they've played better
Speaker 12: over the last ten or eleven games just to make
Speaker 12: the tournament, and for them to have to give up
Speaker 12: twenty eight offensive rebounds and only make two threes against
Speaker 12: Saint John's and win. I'm still stunned by that. It's
Speaker 12: kind of a refuse to lose back to UMass Caliperi
Speaker 12: that we're seeing.
Speaker 2: I was curious about Rick Pattino got a little sharp
Speaker 2: with a reporter saying why it was R. J. Lewis
Speaker 2: on the bench the last five minutes? And Rick was saying, you're,
Speaker 2: you know, basically baiting me here. But why was the
Speaker 2: biggiest player of the year, even though he was struggling shooting,
Speaker 2: he's still your best player. Why was he on the bench,
Speaker 2: you know, for those final five minutes.
Speaker 12: I mean, he was clearly enough funk and he couldn't
Speaker 12: make a shot and was not playing well. So I
Speaker 12: don't know exactly what Rick's reasoning was. My issue watching
Speaker 12: the game was I was like, why are you not
Speaker 12: throwing the ball inside to Zubi Edgia for him? Like
Speaker 12: he's killing these guys and you can't make a perimeter shot.
Speaker 12: They really haven't done that all year, and it was
Speaker 12: pretty clear it wasn't going to matter magically appear in
Speaker 12: the last five minutes. But you know, Arkansas had some
Speaker 12: significant foul trouble. Zavanimir visits fouled out with I don't
Speaker 12: know six seven minutes to go and uh jonas Adu
Speaker 12: had four fouls like go into the go into him
Speaker 12: and uh and let him pull his way to the
Speaker 12: basket at twenty three points and he was so hard
Speaker 12: to stop. But you know, my my coaching place in
Speaker 12: the Hall of Fame has not been secured.
Speaker 3: A Rick says, can should Danny Hurley change?
Speaker 5: Well, he should change some things. Yeah.
Speaker 12: I think the way he uh comports himself on the
Speaker 12: sideline should change. And I think some of the things
Speaker 12: that he says after a game, you know, like what
Speaker 12: we saw in the hallway. Was that a huge deal?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 5: But is it? Is it what you should do? I
Speaker 5: think the answer is no too.
Speaker 12: And look, I get it that the response is, well,
Speaker 12: that's just who he is. I tend to think that's
Speaker 12: an excuse for bad behavior. It's not a crime, it's
Speaker 12: not a big deal. So on one hand, you go, well,
Speaker 12: we don't have any characters in the game anymore, and
Speaker 12: he is clearly a character. But would it be so
Speaker 12: bad if he was just kind of superstitious and this
Speaker 12: crazy competitor and whears like superhero socks and all that stuff.
Speaker 5: And we cut out the other stuff. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 5: I think that would be okay.
Speaker 12: I don't know that the way he talks to officials
Speaker 12: actually benefits him. I know the officials don't care for it,
Speaker 12: because when I was critical of Danny earlier in the year,
Speaker 12: that was probably the first time in my lifetime officials
Speaker 12: were like, hey, keep going.
Speaker 5: Usually they don't like what I said.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but Bob Knight couldn't change. Coach k probably didn't change.
Speaker 2: I mean, these guys are who they are at some point,
Speaker 2: that's who they're going to be. Doesn't mean I mean
Speaker 2: it was the end of the detriment of Bob Knight.
Speaker 2: You know, Coach k was a fiery guy. I don't
Speaker 2: know if Danny Hurley can change. I just I don't.
Speaker 2: He's been this way since he was at Wagner in
Speaker 2: Rhode Island, and it's not like, Hey, we're the bullies
Speaker 2: on the block. I'm going to dictate what college basketball
Speaker 2: is all about. It feels like he was this way
Speaker 2: a long time ago.
Speaker 7: Oh.
Speaker 12: I'm not arguing that, and I'm not saying that maybe
Speaker 12: he can't change. If he can't, then you then don't
Speaker 12: worry about it. But I would think maturity would be
Speaker 12: helpful in these situations, like I just don't believe. And
Speaker 12: I used to talk tonight about this, like when he
Speaker 12: would when he would embarrass a reporter because I saw
Speaker 12: him at clinics when an unprepared, lazy coach would ask
Speaker 12: him a stupid question, and he would educate that coach
Speaker 12: and be very somewhat what I would call empathetic. I
Speaker 12: guess then a reporter asked him a question that he
Speaker 12: thought was a stupid question, and he would embarrass the reporter.
Speaker 12: And I said, I was with him one time at
Speaker 12: Texas Tech, and I said.
Speaker 5: Why why do you do that?
Speaker 12: Like why don't you just like this guy was probably
Speaker 12: covering a state fair and then a high school football
Speaker 12: game and then he's got to come cover you, Like,
Speaker 12: why don't you help him out and educate him? He goes,
Speaker 12: I've gone to I'm too deep into my I can't.
Speaker 5: I just can't.
Speaker 12: And I was like, yeah, you can, and he just
Speaker 12: he didn't want to, and uh, And you know, with
Speaker 12: the one thing that I think is interesting about coaches
Speaker 12: is they love to talk about accountability, and rightfully so
Speaker 12: accountability is important, but but they make excuses with regard
Speaker 12: to themselves at times and kind of what you hear
Speaker 12: from Danny, some of it is reasons and then other
Speaker 12: parts are excuses. And my thing would be just get
Speaker 12: rid of the excuses and make the make the If
Speaker 12: you're saying I shouldn't have done this, then stop doing it.
Speaker 12: You know that that's okay, Like we can we can
Speaker 12: do that. He can still be fiery and a competitor.
Speaker 12: Like one of the things about coach k And look,
Speaker 12: every coach, every player, You're going to cross the line
Speaker 12: at some point. It's competitive.
Speaker 5: I get it.
Speaker 12: But man, after games, it was pretty rare where he
Speaker 12: he wasn't a good loser. It's pretty damn rare. Like
Speaker 12: he he comported himself pretty darn well. And uh and
Speaker 12: I always admired that about him, win or lose.
Speaker 5: After the game, he had he had empathy.
Speaker 2: I asked Danny Hurley about not taking the Laker job,
Speaker 2: and I'm paraphrase, and he said, I'm not mature enough.
Speaker 2: I got to I got to mature. So like he's aware,
Speaker 2: I just think he gets in. And I always find
Speaker 2: it ironic when coaches like, you know, you gotta comport yourself,
Speaker 2: you gotta you gotta stay in the moment, you know,
Speaker 2: don't go crazy, you know, you know all the and
Speaker 2: then coaches go crazy. I never understood that Knight wanted
Speaker 2: discipline out of you, but he couldn't get discipline out
Speaker 2: of himself exactly.
Speaker 12: And that's sort of what I was talking about on
Speaker 12: the accountability point. You know, sometimes you think about you know,
Speaker 12: Will Ferrell and old school and not what was it
Speaker 12: old school? When he's uh, when he's saying we got
Speaker 12: to keep our composure, kind of losing his mind. But look,
Speaker 12: coaches do that. But but I think I think they
Speaker 12: can do better, and and they should strive to do
Speaker 12: better and quit making excuses when they don't.
Speaker 2: Good to talk to you. We didn't even get to
Speaker 2: transfer portal month. We didn't get to n I l
Speaker 2: Maybe next week we'll hold off and talk about that
Speaker 2: and I transfer portal starts today, Jay Crazy.
Speaker 12: The coaches portal has been opened, I know, and nobody's
Speaker 12: calling for guardrails under contractor getting poked. They have no loyalty.
Speaker 12: But nobody says that it's only for the players. We
Speaker 12: have to worry about that. Thank you, Jay, Thank you.
Speaker 2: Jay billis of the mother Ship at college basketball analyst
Speaker 2: there for a long long time. All Right, some phone
Speaker 2: calls coming up, Uh Tom in New York, Hi Tom,
Speaker 2: Best and worst of the weekend?
Speaker 10: Hey Dan? Thanks?
Speaker 12: Uh I.
Speaker 10: My best for the weekend is my new Mexico Lobos
Speaker 10: Marchette on Friday night. That was pretty exciting when we
Speaker 10: haven't won for the first round in the tournament for
Speaker 10: twelve years. And then my worst of the weekend was
Speaker 10: a Michigan State game. And I'm an official, I kind of.
Speaker 6: I like to be.
Speaker 10: Just open minded, but it just felt like there were
Speaker 10: a lot of tiki chack called that really put us
Speaker 10: in a bad position and kind of took the game
Speaker 10: out of our hands last night.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it happens.
Speaker 2: You know, this is where officials need to get together
Speaker 2: and regroup during games just to kind of, do, you know,
Speaker 2: take inventory of how we're calling this game, what are
Speaker 2: we seeing in this game? How do we need to
Speaker 2: call it differently? Because sometimes you'll go into a game
Speaker 2: and go that team they are a physical team, or
Speaker 2: this team's a finesse team. Then it changes. But I
Speaker 2: do think you have to the office and maybe they do,
Speaker 2: but I think officials need to talk about this of
Speaker 2: what they're seeing because if you just let all three
Speaker 2: officials just be individuals, I think that's where it can
Speaker 2: be dangerous, from the standpoint of what are we calling
Speaker 2: and not calling? When are we calling it, how are
Speaker 2: we calling it? Because all you want is as a
Speaker 2: coach and a player, tell me how you're going to
Speaker 2: call this and stay with that, and I'll be fine
Speaker 2: with that. It's when all of a sudden you go,
Speaker 2: wait a minute, you let them do that, you know
Speaker 2: in the first half, Now we can't do that. That's
Speaker 2: what I think. That's when coaches go apoplectic. How about
Speaker 2: we go around the room, best and worst to the weekend, Todd,
Speaker 2: I'll start with you.
Speaker 3: Best of the weekend.
Speaker 13: In women's college hoops, out of the Oklahoma Sooners had
Speaker 13: an NCAA Tournament single game record seventy two rebounds in
Speaker 13: defitting Florida Gulf Coast University eighty one to fifty eight
Speaker 13: in the first round.
Speaker 14: Love it.
Speaker 13: Worst of the weekend my brackets. Saint John's losing to
Speaker 13: Arkansas stally tournament bracket totally destroyed, had the Red Storm
Speaker 13: going all the way to the title game and beating Duke,
Speaker 13: So I am.
Speaker 3: Very done you're done.
Speaker 2: So you know, to have seventy two rebounds, you have
Speaker 2: to have seventy two misses. So you can say, well,
Speaker 2: that is incredible, add seventy two rebounds, but that is
Speaker 2: horrible that there were seventy two rebounds to be had.
Speaker 2: Seaton O'Connor best and worst.
Speaker 4: My best of the weekend or a team called the
Speaker 4: Oakland Roots their soccer team. They play USL Championship. They
Speaker 4: play in the Coliseum now there, which is a gigantic venue.
Speaker 4: They had over twenty six thousand people show up to
Speaker 4: their home opener, which is a massive crowd for a.
Speaker 3: Team like that.
Speaker 4: Best part is at the twenty fourth minute, they gave
Speaker 4: a standing ovation for the full minute for the number
Speaker 4: twenty four for.
Speaker 3: Ricky Henderson, which is great.
Speaker 4: Everybody stood up all twenty six thousand game of standing ovation,
Speaker 4: which I'm sure.
Speaker 3: Ricky would appreciate. Ricky b Ricky, pretty great gesture.
Speaker 4: Worst of the weekend is everything related to the US
Speaker 4: men's national team.
Speaker 3: Marvin Best and worst. Best of the weekend.
Speaker 15: Caleb Love from Arizona twenty nine points, nine rebounds. He's
Speaker 15: in North Carolina transfer in his next game, and the
Speaker 15: Sweet sixteen is against Duke, so hopefully he get pulled
Speaker 15: something off. Worst of the Weekend Man Saint John's the
Speaker 15: shooting twenty one for seventy five and for you math
Speaker 15: majors out there, that's twenty eight percent from the field.
Speaker 3: Paul Best and worst of the weekend.
Speaker 8: Best of the weekend, the job Mark Pope is doing
Speaker 8: down at Kentucky. First time really watching them this year.
Speaker 8: They look really good. The worst I am going to
Speaker 8: give it to Sean Miller of Xavier. It was his
Speaker 8: first coaching job. O four to nine did very well.
Speaker 8: He took the Arizona job, you know, a dream job,
Speaker 8: as he called it. He was there for quite a
Speaker 8: while and then it went bad and they let him go,
Speaker 8: and there's some baggage around it. Xavier in twenty twenty
Speaker 8: two takes him back. The program is good. It's a
Speaker 8: quality basketball prom you know that program. Dan, They've always
Speaker 8: been good and he can make them even better. And
Speaker 8: now he's bolting to Texas. What's wrong with having a
Speaker 8: career like Mark Few of Gonzaga. Mark Few stayed at
Speaker 8: Gonzaga for decades. He always wins twenty five games. He's
Speaker 8: almost a household name and he's gonna go to the
Speaker 8: Basketball Hall of Fame if he's not already in it,
Speaker 8: and he gets to the tournament all the time, why
Speaker 8: not stay?
Speaker 3: Be novel?
Speaker 2: Well, I think he lives up to his last name.
Speaker 2: He's one of the few who stays. And you know
Speaker 2: these guys are they bounce around, bounce around, bounce around,
Speaker 2: bounce around to get to a head coaching job, and
Speaker 2: then it doesn't stop there. It's very rare when somebody goes,
Speaker 2: you know what, I'm happy here. I like what I'm
Speaker 2: doing here. It's coaches cannot complain about the transfer portal.
Speaker 2: They cannot. And that's what Jay was saying. Coaches can
Speaker 2: do it. Yeah, it's crazy too.
Speaker 4: Like a lot of times a jump like that comes
Speaker 4: with a gigantic raise or something. You're like, man, for
Speaker 4: that kind of money, you got to do that. I
Speaker 4: don't think this was the case. I don't think it
Speaker 4: about the same money.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean, unless I'm reading it wrong, I could. It's
Speaker 4: very possible I'm reading this wrong. But to me, it
Speaker 4: looks like he got a bump of about five hundred
Speaker 4: thousand dollars, which for the normal person is a fortune. Right,
Speaker 4: But when you're talking about four point five versus five. Okay,
Speaker 4: there's probably a lot.
Speaker 3: Of incentives in there.
Speaker 2: You get to the tournament, you get to sweet sixteen,
Speaker 2: probably stuff like that. Has anyone had a worse year
Speaker 2: perception wise than Danny Hurley? Now, no crimes or anything,
Speaker 2: it's just him as a basketball coach, him on the floor.
Speaker 2: But perception wise, it feels like everybody's you know, kind
Speaker 2: of piling on here, a lot of columns on this,
Speaker 2: and you need to change?
Speaker 3: Can you change?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: See, I get it.
Speaker 4: I get that because I know I'm definitely somebody over
Speaker 4: the last several years who've been like, man, this dude
Speaker 4: needs to chill out, what are you doing? Like we
Speaker 4: all do impressions of them, we make its spaces and
Speaker 4: stuff like that. But at least he owns it to
Speaker 4: some degree. I get the sense that he's very well
Speaker 4: aware of how crazy he is.
Speaker 2: Well, his wife has to say hun like bright, I
Speaker 2: would think that she would be the sounding board that
Speaker 2: you have. I just don't know if he can now
Speaker 2: you have to want to. I don't know does he
Speaker 2: want to change? Has he bought into this is who
Speaker 2: I am? He saying, I'm the coach on the face
Speaker 2: of college basketball. Sometimes you buy into what people portray
Speaker 2: you as. Yeah, point you said last hour. He's been
Speaker 2: doing this back at Bryant and Rhode Island.
Speaker 3: Wagner. Wagner.
Speaker 8: Yeah. Once he starts winning and getting national attention, it's
Speaker 8: almost a green light to be himself more so and
Speaker 8: yell and scream and be on sixty minutes like all
Speaker 8: his behavior for the past twenty years as a coach.
Speaker 8: You win two titles, it's open season to do what
Speaker 8: you want.
Speaker 2: But I would say, perception wise, without doing anything illegal,
Speaker 2: getting arrested for anything.
Speaker 3: Who had a worse year perception wise.
Speaker 2: Lebron everything that happened with his son, bringing his son in,
Speaker 2: you know, a NEPO baby. A lot of criticism there
Speaker 2: with Lebron that had to do with his son, the
Speaker 2: run in with Steven A. Smith, And he didn't do
Speaker 2: anything other than he wanted his son to play on
Speaker 2: the team. And now you get yeah, I mean Stephen
Speaker 2: A was backtracking. Now he says that he knew that
Speaker 2: Bronnie could play. Like there are a lot of analysts
Speaker 2: who are all of a sudden saying Bronnie can play.
Speaker 2: I knew he could play. I don't remember hearing anybody saying,
Speaker 2: I just said you got to stay one more year
Speaker 2: or stay in the G League. But just because he
Speaker 2: got toasted by Tyrese MAXI didn't mean he couldn't play.
Speaker 2: It was he shouldn't have been out there. But you know,
Speaker 2: JJ Reddick had to put him out there because they
Speaker 2: needed a guard to go out there and play early
Speaker 2: in the game. So he gets roasted. So what I mean,
Speaker 2: tyres Maxie is a great player. Now all of a
Speaker 2: sudden he can't play. He just needs to play, that's all.
Speaker 2: Let him play. Let the kid be a kid.
Speaker 3: Yeah, seton.
Speaker 4: It's a good comparison to because Dan Hurley, a guy
Speaker 4: who made it by himself.
Speaker 2: That do do do do do? Yeah, It's like everybody
Speaker 2: now I knew BRONI could play.
Speaker 4: I just think I think the one example of like
Speaker 4: focusing in on Lebron James and his son while ignoring
Speaker 4: the thousands of other cases of kids who are in
Speaker 4: semi similar situations.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think what Lebron James and his wife have done
Speaker 2: has been remarkable. Absolutely Lebron growing up in a single
Speaker 2: parent household and he has made made himself a billionaire
Speaker 2: and raising good kids, at least from the outside looking in.
Speaker 2: And you got your son on the team. Okay, Like
Speaker 2: there's worse things that dad do. What did your dad do? Oh?
Speaker 2: You put a cigarette out on my hand? What's your
Speaker 2: dad do? Now, he got me a job with the Lakers. Man,
Speaker 2: you had to you suffered. What are we doing?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 12: Call?
Speaker 3: Yeah, they wanted to call the authorities.
Speaker 5: Well, this is.
Speaker 2: Child abuse what you're doing. Don't have him out there
Speaker 2: with Tyres MAXI yes, Marvin.
Speaker 15: And now I'm thinking to myself when people say, oh,
Speaker 15: he took a job away from somebody. If you're fighting
Speaker 15: with Bronnie James for a spot, you're exactly where you
Speaker 15: need to be in the G league, because if you're
Speaker 15: that good, you're not fighting with Bronnie James for a
Speaker 15: spot on the Lakers.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And I don't know if he's still going to be
Speaker 2: in the NBA when Lebron retires. I hope he is.
Speaker 2: I hope he shows that he can play. He was
Speaker 2: the fifty fifth player taken for a reason and he's
Speaker 2: playing like he's the fifty fifth player in the draft.
Speaker 8: Yeah, Paul, if Lebron put his son on the Wizards,
Speaker 8: then I'd have ten.
Speaker 2: That is when I have said I'm giving you a
Speaker 2: time out. You're going to the Wizard.
Speaker 3: Anything but hand no, please the mom. He's gonna send
Speaker 3: me the Wizards. Just stay in college. And if you
Speaker 3: continue to act up, I'm sending you to Charlotte.
Speaker 2: No, all right, they take a break, got more phone calls.
Speaker 15: You gonna be like Jordan Pohle oh man, he got punched,
Speaker 15: he got treated. Yeah, yeah, all right, let me take
Speaker 15: a break. We'll get some more phone calls coming up.
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio WAP.
Speaker 2: Kind Of fell in love with Walter Clayton Junior the
Speaker 2: Third He had thirteen points in the final eight minutes
Speaker 2: to lead Florida over Yukon. He's the third player all
Speaker 2: time to make fifteen or more three pointers and twenty
Speaker 2: five or more free throws in his first four NCAA
Speaker 2: Tournament games.
Speaker 6: Of it.
Speaker 2: Not done yet, Marvin. The other two players who have
Speaker 2: done this Steph Curry and Glenn Robinson Big Dog. They
Speaker 2: both did it twice seven eight for Steph Curry ninety
Speaker 2: three ninety four for Glenn Robinson.
Speaker 3: Chat of the day of the day, but best stad
Speaker 3: of the day stat of the.
Speaker 5: Day here comes that?
Speaker 3: What stat of the day?
Speaker 2: Also Ole miss beat Iowa State to reach the Sweet
Speaker 2: sixteen for the first time since two thousand and one.
Speaker 2: So that's twenty four year gap between appearances. The only
Speaker 2: one to have only school to have a larger gap
Speaker 2: was Providence. Providence went twenty five years between Sweet sixteen
Speaker 2: appearances ninety seven to twenty twenty two. I saw where
Speaker 2: Tiger Woods has a new girlfriend and he posted on
Speaker 2: social media, and then he posted and then I think
Speaker 2: he said, you know, please respect our privacy. Well, don't
Speaker 2: put it on social media if he wanted to respect
Speaker 2: your privacy.
Speaker 8: Yes, Tiger posted it fifteen hours ago. Quote love is
Speaker 8: in the air. He should have stopped right there.
Speaker 3: What is going on?
Speaker 8: Love is in the air, and life is better with
Speaker 8: you by my side. We look forward to our journey
Speaker 8: through life together. At this time, we would appreciate privacy
Speaker 8: for all those close to our hearts. He tweeted it
Speaker 8: out to seven million people, asking for privacy.
Speaker 3: And this is Donald Donald Trump Junior's ex wife.
Speaker 8: I didn't know when I looked at it who she was,
Speaker 8: but I assumed it was an engagement post because life
Speaker 8: is better with you by my side. That sounds like
Speaker 8: an engagement announcement, and I don't think it is.
Speaker 5: Lt.
Speaker 7: Gray.
Speaker 2: Let me put this on social media, but please respect
Speaker 2: my price. It's had nineteen million views. Yeah, yeah, please
Speaker 2: respect their pressure.
Speaker 3: Give for the last time. I don't want to talk
Speaker 3: about this not actual sound, dude, What is that your
Speaker 3: Tiger impersonation? I need to hit the ball better. That
Speaker 3: is not bad, He's He always gives.
Speaker 4: A a long, like breath pause in his sentences. He'll say, well,
Speaker 4: first of all, I.
Speaker 3: Need to hit the ball better. That's my ball striking
Speaker 3: today is not great.
Speaker 13: Uh, that is very solid, Tiger.
Speaker 3: My glutes didn't fire today.
Speaker 8: Yeah, Paul Tiger did two pictures with his new girlfriend,
Speaker 8: one standing against a watch, a casual photo, and the
Speaker 8: other one is laying in a hammock with his glasses
Speaker 8: and Tiger Woods hat on. In case you didn't know
Speaker 8: who he was. Who's the person who gets to sign
Speaker 8: this photography project?
Speaker 4: Maybe Tiger's daughter Comarre take a picture of us laying
Speaker 4: down here acting like we're sleeping.
Speaker 2: Thanks, like we're in love. Well, he's got sunglasses on. Hey,
Speaker 2: Marvin saw the picture. Marvin goes, Tiger, come join us.
Speaker 2: Shave your shave your head, what's what's left? Shave it off?
Speaker 11: Man.
Speaker 15: Whenever he finishes around and he takes his hat off,
Speaker 15: Oh my gosh, Tiger, come home join us.
Speaker 3: Please, it's clean over here.
Speaker 15: Come on, man.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I was watching some of the golf this weekend and
Speaker 2: guys would take off their hats, so from their eyes
Speaker 2: down they're really tan, and then they have this four
Speaker 2: inch gap their forehead and it looks like a five head.
Speaker 3: It's just white. Yes, Seaton, dude. Golf reporters also get
Speaker 3: that probably.
Speaker 4: I mean I would imagine if you're out, you know,
Speaker 4: you're walking the course, you're doing whatever you're doing, all
Speaker 4: the same stuff that they do.
Speaker 3: Do you also get that scene tan.
Speaker 2: A lot of golf reporters don't go out on the course.
Speaker 2: They stay inside, they watch on TV. All they're there
Speaker 2: is really to watch, uh, you know, the press conferences
Speaker 2: to get you know, their interviews there. You don't normally
Speaker 2: go out walking around because it's hard to follow every
Speaker 2: unless you're following just one player or one you know group,
Speaker 2: you're not walking, you know, around the golf course.
Speaker 3: Yeah, PAULI we call.
Speaker 8: That two tone. Look the Stuart sinks that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Stuart sink The.
Speaker 8: Top half of your head looks like you've been vacationing
Speaker 8: in Antarctica in the bottom half of the opposite.
Speaker 3: Uh Newton in Virginia. Hi Newton, what's on your mind? Hey?
Speaker 6: Dan, Really appreciate you taking a call. So a couple
Speaker 6: of quick ones. One is these things are kind of
Speaker 6: connected the way that I see it. I met Jay
Speaker 6: Billis and I sell commercial in residential real estate here
Speaker 6: in Richmond, and Jay was nice enough to be one
Speaker 6: of the speakers at an event for commercial real estate
Speaker 6: that Virginia Commonwealth University put on. And the thing that
Speaker 6: was really impressive about Jay is that he is genuine
Speaker 6: and the exact guy that you talked to is the
Speaker 6: same guy that I talked to, is the same guy
Speaker 6: that's on TV every time we see him. And I
Speaker 6: think that one of the reasons that he is as
Speaker 6: popular as he is is because he is genuine, and
Speaker 6: people love it when you're genuine. They don't they don't
Speaker 6: like seeing through your BS.
Speaker 3: Well, thank you for the story there.
Speaker 2: I've known Jay long long time, right after he graduated
Speaker 2: from Duke. I think I remember I wasn't around him then,
Speaker 2: but then certainly with the Mothership and very very knowledgeable.
Speaker 2: I always enjoyed talking and he has strong opinions too,
Speaker 2: which I love. Let's see, how about Kurt Kurt in Washington.
Speaker 14: Hi, Kurt, Hey, I was going Thanks for taking my call. Yeah,
Speaker 14: Dan Patrick above average show six two but below average
Speaker 14: one eight. I have two best from the weekend. One
Speaker 14: my Wisconsin Badgers women's hockey team winning their national championship
Speaker 14: and Mark Johnson actually raising actually asking the team who
Speaker 14: wanted to take the penalty shot at the end of
Speaker 14: regulation and then the same woman actually winning in overtime.
Speaker 14: And my second best is a shout out to some
Speaker 14: real good dudes and coaching staff up in Alaska, my
Speaker 14: Colony Knights girls basketball team winning the championship. It's a
Speaker 14: group of guys that have been dedicated, working hard, spending
Speaker 14: a lot of time coaching.
Speaker 9: And actually the coaching staff helped coach both the boys
Speaker 9: and girls.
Speaker 2: All right, thank you, Kurt john cali Peri will join
Speaker 2: us coming up. Bill Simmons will stop by as well.
Speaker 2: Final hour in this Monday, right after this
