Speaker 1: Mike Hushevski will join us on the program. Coach k
Speaker 1: he had a great comment the other day when people
Speaker 1: are kind of questioning what's going on with Duke basketball,
Speaker 1: and he said, just go into Cameron Indoor and look upstairs,
Speaker 1: look up to those banners, and then you'll have a
Speaker 1: second thought maybe about do I know what I'm doing
Speaker 1: in this situation. It's just not a great duke team,
Speaker 1: that's all. You know. He's had some down years, but
Speaker 1: down years for him, he could still compete for a
Speaker 1: national championship with this team. Eight seven seven three d

Speaker 1: You know what I'm finding people will be watching at

Speaker 1: Then while they're in the car, they're listening on their radio.
Speaker 1: And then they get to work and then they can
Speaker 1: watch on their phone or on their tablet. We want
Speaker 1: to be there. We want to be omnipresent in your
Speaker 1: in your life. Mcclevin's here, Seaton's here, Paulice here, and
Speaker 1: course Percy is not, but we hope to have him
Speaker 1: at some point. Some people mentioned that Darius Rucker is
Speaker 1: a big fan of the Universe of South Carolina. How
Speaker 1: come he's not on the celebrity list. And you're right.
Speaker 1: Remember when the women at South Carolina didn't they win?
Speaker 1: And then Darius started crying. He was in the he
Speaker 1: was in the audience at that game. Was it when
Speaker 1: did South Carolina win the national title? Or no? He
Speaker 1: was Was it Frank Martin and South Carolina and Darius
Speaker 1: got really emotional? Yes? So I think the problem with
Speaker 1: Darius is that you don't think of South Carolina first.
Speaker 1: When you think of his teams, you'd think of there's
Speaker 1: only one team that made him cry, the Dolphins may. Oh,
Speaker 1: the game Cocks don't make him cry, right, they don't
Speaker 1: make him cry. The Dolphins do. But the Game Cox
Speaker 1: did make him cry. Yes, but you're right, it's uh,
Speaker 1: Frank Martin. They went to the Final four and he cried. Yeah,
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, and I agree with you. I was kind
Speaker 1: of like, wait, he's a Dolphins guy too, That's why
Speaker 1: it waters down in the South Carolina and the Game
Speaker 1: Cox make me cry, It's not the same. When I
Speaker 1: first heard the song and the Dolphins may me crying,
Speaker 1: I thought it was the actual Dolphin. I think everybody
Speaker 1: did because people didn't know they were sports fans before
Speaker 1: you saw the video, and when's the last time the
Speaker 1: Dolphins would make you cry like they have? They been
Speaker 1: in a big moment that's gonna make you cry unless
Speaker 1: he goes back to they lost the Super Bowl to
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers with Dan Marino. But I've been
Speaker 1: around Darius a lot of times when the Dolphins are playing.
Speaker 1: I've never seen him cry. I don't know about this.
Speaker 1: The Dolphins make me cry, all right? So coach k
Speaker 1: will join us coming up? Oh, look who's on the phone.
Speaker 1: Jake in La. Jake is with us the oracle bound
Speaker 1: for Syracuse University. Jake, how are you? Dan? How you doing?
Speaker 1: It's been a minute? Six three one? WHOA? Your name
Speaker 1: got brought up a couple of days ago where we
Speaker 1: played the audio of when I yelled at you. I
Speaker 1: think you were like, were you eleven or twelve at
Speaker 1: the time? I must have been it was ten eleven
Speaker 1: something like that. So the way I heard about it
Speaker 1: is I'm a lunch with my friends and I said
Speaker 1: something my friends, I'm just giving my opinion like I'm
Speaker 1: supposed to. I was like, what, what'd he say? What?
Speaker 1: So they send me the video on Twitter? You guys
Speaker 1: put up, Yeah, I just got killed for it. The
Speaker 1: rest of the day, I'm walking down the hallway, people playing,
Speaker 1: people are playing the sound bite. That's a great sound
Speaker 1: by you guys, call that one. Do we have that audio?
Speaker 1: What do you think? I'm sure we do. I cringe
Speaker 1: every time I hear this, Jake. So this is what
Speaker 1: seven years ago? Maybe longer, right, maybe all right? Seven
Speaker 1: or eight years ago. Jake always called in and I
Speaker 1: always had some well thought out comments, and I crushed
Speaker 1: those little little dreams. I think the topic could rarely
Speaker 1: look like I'm wait, wait, Jake, don't overreact like this.
Speaker 1: You're You're better than that, right, I know I'm kidding.
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, kay, I'm kidding with you. Okay, you
Speaker 1: know I love you? Right. How long did it take
Speaker 1: it overcome that day? Ye? Yeah? Uh? Therapy, many sessions, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, God, and then you know now I got
Speaker 1: over it. I know I didn't. No, no, every time
Speaker 1: I hear it, I cringe. I always going no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: don't play that. Yeah, seton that. I have that sound
Speaker 1: bite being from uh, October twenty seventh, twenty ten, oh boy,
Speaker 1: ten years ago. So that means how old are you, Jake?
Speaker 1: I'm a eight you said doing an eight year old dude,
Speaker 1: you're better than that. I've said that, I've said worse
Speaker 1: to my kids than they were younger. You're better than that.
Speaker 1: And I actually met it, you know, with you or
Speaker 1: I was just joking a little bit. And now, so
Speaker 1: you're off to college coming up in the fall in
Speaker 1: the son right, Yeah, did you know that Jordan fritz
Speaker 1: is going to Syracuse. I had no idea until someone,
Speaker 1: until someone told me they heard it on the show.
Speaker 1: And what are you going to? Major in sports management
Speaker 1: at the Folk School? Okay, and the goal is to
Speaker 1: try and be an NBA GM one day. Fritzie's son
Speaker 1: is going into sports marketing as well. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: you could probably run the Knicks right now, Jake. I
Speaker 1: mean with the statement like they honestly they can't get
Speaker 1: anything right. It's Spikily, it's their one fan. All you
Speaker 1: have to do is just say nothing, take the high roads.
Speaker 1: But they said he was laughable. Even eight year old
Speaker 1: Jake and La knew that. It's not a hard day. Jake.
Speaker 1: Thank you for calling. It's great to hear from you,
Speaker 1: and best of luck at Syracuse. Thank you. That's Jake
Speaker 1: and La the Oracle He would call in it felt
Speaker 1: like every day before he went to school, and he
Speaker 1: would have talking points that he you know, and his
Speaker 1: dad is a very successful producer in Hollywood and a
Speaker 1: big sports fan. And I got a chance to hang
Speaker 1: out with his dad. And then Jake would call in
Speaker 1: all the time, and we just loved having him on.
Speaker 1: And then you know, turn around and he's going to
Speaker 1: Syracuse and he's going there with Fritzie son as well,
Speaker 1: Jake and La. Whole question, who would you rather room
Speaker 1: with Fritzie's son Jake in La if you were going
Speaker 1: to Syracuse. I don't know enough about their habits, right well,
Speaker 1: I would say Jake in La because of his dad,
Speaker 1: I would enjoy hanging out more than if Fritzie came
Speaker 1: to town to see his son a Syracuse. Do we
Speaker 1: know why Tom Brady and Jimmy Fallon and Julian Edelman
Speaker 1: were at the Syracuse game because somebody told me this
Speaker 1: and I don't know if it's true. And that's that
Speaker 1: there's a big, big time booster at Syracuse and he
Speaker 1: flies celebrities in and I don't know if that's what happened,
Speaker 1: where they're paying Brady to show up for a Syracuse
Speaker 1: game because Syracuse isn't good this year. North Carolina is
Speaker 1: not good this year. Is Syracuse considered a bubble team?
Speaker 1: They're always like eighteen and eleven at this time of year,
Speaker 1: and then they win seven games in a row and
Speaker 1: end up in the Final four. Yeah I will, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I paid a price with them. That was when I
Speaker 1: had to bet with Jim Beheim when Dayton played Syracuse
Speaker 1: and I'd have to go up there and host his
Speaker 1: charity event, and Syracuse ended up beating Dayton. I had
Speaker 1: a great time. The people are wonderful up there. But
Speaker 1: who goes to Syracuse in February or you know Tom
Speaker 1: Brady was up there? Yahma club. Yeah, so they're guest
Speaker 1: a businessman Adam Weizmann, who is known for bringing aless
Speaker 1: athletes to the Carrier Dome. But why what do they
Speaker 1: get out of it? I mean money, but they don't
Speaker 1: need money. Yeah, I unless it's just for giggles where
Speaker 1: you go hey, but Jimmy Fallon is with him. I
Speaker 1: think that's what I Unless you go, hey, I'm getting
Speaker 1: a little wrestles here. If I'm Brady, mate, do I
Speaker 1: want to get out in front of everybody or do
Speaker 1: I want to be low key? Do I want to
Speaker 1: be you know, covert? Yeah? All right, you've got those three, Brady, Edelman,
Speaker 1: and found Who do you want to sit next to
Speaker 1: during the game the most? Well, now, I would sit
Speaker 1: next to Brady because I'm gonna get a lot of
Speaker 1: camera time and I can see what he's texting and
Speaker 1: who he's face timing. If it's like John Gruden, you
Speaker 1: could report that out. Now, if we're going out afterwards,
Speaker 1: then I want to hang out with Edelman. Feels like
Speaker 1: we might have some fun. Fallon's going to entertain me.
Speaker 1: Brady will be interesting just because he's Brady. But Edelman,
Speaker 1: if we go out afterwards for beverages, I'd want to
Speaker 1: hang with Edelman. I'm tell him to grow the beard
Speaker 1: back though, because he doesn't look as intimidating. So, now
Speaker 1: that we solved the mystery that that's why Brady was
Speaker 1: at that meaningless basketball game. Yeah, and didn't you get booed? Look?
Speaker 1: I mean that's built country and yeah, yeah, so when
Speaker 1: they kill him like Tom Brady here, doesn't he get
Speaker 1: booed in any other place he goes to. Because nobody
Speaker 1: likes the Patriots, you know, outside of New England. So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess he gets booed a lot. All right,
Speaker 1: so we got our poll question. Uh, Dave in Utah
Speaker 1: is joining us right now, Dave, what's on your mind? Hey, Dan,
Speaker 1: first time caller, a long time list her watcher, love
Speaker 1: the new pros, the new format, and the guy who
Speaker 1: actually took those folks to the Syracuse game. He's a
Speaker 1: huge booster. His name is Adam Whetzmanton. Yeah, all right, well,
Speaker 1: thank you, Dave. Dave might be on a delay there,
Speaker 1: but that's I appreciate. That day. He was very excited
Speaker 1: to call in with that information. He asked me, club,
Speaker 1: something feels fishy about it? A huge booster flying in
Speaker 1: three A list of everything. I don't know. Obviously it's
Speaker 1: not a violation, but you feel like you're in violation
Speaker 1: territory with that. Whenever you hear the word booster, nothing
Speaker 1: good comes out. Okay. I brought this up to Peter
Speaker 1: King on Monday. Brady is face timing with Mike Rabel,
Speaker 1: the Titans head coach, and I said, is that tampering?
Speaker 1: And Peter goes um, I don't know. Well. During the
Speaker 1: NFL Network broadcast, they kept talking about gun Ye was
Speaker 1: talking to this team and that team, and somebody brought
Speaker 1: up about his own free agents or other free agents.
Speaker 1: It's obviously an open temporing. But but you can't talk
Speaker 1: about your other free agents. It's still the same whether
Speaker 1: you're talking about Brady as or free agent or other
Speaker 1: players that you represent. They might be able to negotiate
Speaker 1: with guys who are on the team, like redoing deals.
Speaker 1: I think you can. It's all shady. It's like players
Speaker 1: you know, are always in constant contact with each other. Yeah, Pa,
Speaker 1: I just did a quick research on Adam Weiizman or Whitzman.
Speaker 1: I hope they did. I always sure, hope they did. Oh,
Speaker 1: that's not even a bad Oh, I'm that's fantastic things
Speaker 1: for the community. Rocky road to the promise line, Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, seems like a great guy doing a lot
Speaker 1: for the community. From what I'm reading. Aren't most roads
Speaker 1: for billionaires full of rocky roads? Get there? Alex Rodriguez,
Speaker 1: he was on ESPN and he got around to talking
Speaker 1: about the Astros here because I was curious, here's your
Speaker 1: lead baseball guy, and I had not heard from Alex
Speaker 1: Rodriguez had heard from just about everybody else, including Lebron
Speaker 1: James on the Astro's cheating scandal. So I figured that
Speaker 1: we'd hear from a Rod and of course his issues
Speaker 1: when he was playing, and h here's a Rod's comments. Sorry,
Speaker 1: I was reading about Adam wits reading. Here's not era, okay,
Speaker 1: from a guy who has made as many mistakes as
Speaker 1: anybody on the biggest stage. I starved the longest suspension
Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball history. You know, I passed me
Speaker 1: well over thirty five million dollars, and you know what
Speaker 1: type to deserve that. And as a result, I came back.
Speaker 1: I owned it. After acting at the booklosed for a
Speaker 1: long time. I did have my apologies, and then I
Speaker 1: went dark, and I wanted my next move to be contrite.
Speaker 1: But I also wanted to out to play good baseball
Speaker 1: and change my narrative. And the way you change your
Speaker 1: narrative is you have to be accountable. You've earned all
Speaker 1: this negative talk. You've earned whatever comes your way, including
Speaker 1: whether it's hit by a pitch or negative press. You
Speaker 1: have divorced yourself from having the ability to protect yourself
Speaker 1: well when it comes to this topic, he is an expert, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, you talk about a reincarnation. Look at the
Speaker 1: john that he got. I mean, he was suspended over
Speaker 1: two hundred games, and people were angry with the way
Speaker 1: a Rod was handling all this rememor he called out
Speaker 1: Major League eighth Ball and he went on WFA and
Speaker 1: Mike Francis's show and he was taken down people. And
Speaker 1: now look at him Dayton and engaged to j Low
Speaker 1: and doing Sunday Night Baseball, and it's just too it's
Speaker 1: too clean. He's trying to give this presentation of that, hey,
Speaker 1: I've changed, put me in the Hall of Fame. It
Speaker 1: just feels like that's what this is. It's a lot
Speaker 1: of it's displayed for the Hall of Fame and a
Speaker 1: wonderful player, but you know he's a cheater, and yeah,
Speaker 1: if you get busted, I don't I can't put you
Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame. I'm not voting, but I
Speaker 1: wouldn't put him in the whole of fame. But I
Speaker 1: think it's people look at it and he's on Shark Tank.
Speaker 1: I mean, Abron has had really a reclamation project that's
Speaker 1: been pretty impressive. But I think it's just to give
Speaker 1: you the image, the mirage that hey, hey, I had
Speaker 1: a moment here that was bad. But I'm Alex Rodriguez.
Speaker 1: Look at who I'm gonna marry, and look at the
Speaker 1: jobs I'm doing, and everything's good, fine, squeaky clean. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's why this this industry is so weird. If you
Speaker 1: said five years ago Alex Rodriguez would have a great
Speaker 1: announcing job in ESPN and giving advice on another cheater
Speaker 1: how to handle it, he said, no, no no, no, that's
Speaker 1: that's not gonna happen. You know. Yeah, but hey, voters
Speaker 1: want to put him in. Put him in. I am
Speaker 1: curious his first year on the ballot, does he get
Speaker 1: more attention, more votes than what Bonds and Clemens got,
Speaker 1: because they rod to me, that's that's worse with what
Speaker 1: he did and really attacking major League Baseball, this investigation,
Speaker 1: the people he's involved with. You know, there was there
Speaker 1: was a whole lot going on, and you know that
Speaker 1: full story will probably never be told now, you know, look,
Speaker 1: total transparency. I don't get along with Alex Rodriguez, and
Speaker 1: that goes back to when we did an interview with him,
Speaker 1: and I try to be objective. There are guys that
Speaker 1: I don't like or didn't get along with, and vice versa.
Speaker 1: But I have to be objective about this, and you
Speaker 1: know I had that run in with with a Rod
Speaker 1: in the Rangers locker room because he thought that I
Speaker 1: aired something that shouldn't have been aired when he was
Speaker 1: ripping Derek Jeter. And my point has always been A
Speaker 1: Rod said the same thing to Scott Rabb in an
Speaker 1: article in GQ. I believe same thing talked about Jeter,
Speaker 1: but he was upset at me, but then went on
Speaker 1: to say the same thing to Scott rab and I
Speaker 1: just had a problem with them. Prior to that, had
Speaker 1: never had an issue with Alex Rodriguez. No know, he
Speaker 1: was cordial friendly. But I think this let's gloss over
Speaker 1: what happened as a player is what he's hoping the
Speaker 1: baseball writers are going to do, and look at who
Speaker 1: A Rod is now? Like he he has reinvented himself. Apparently,
Speaker 1: is that enough to get into the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1: We're gonna find out. Coach k will join us. Coming
Speaker 1: up next, It's coming up on eighteen after the hour.

Speaker 1: the call. Yeah, love the new format, especially I travel
Speaker 1: quite a bit and when I work from home, I
Speaker 1: get to get to see you live. End or fast forward.
Speaker 1: Got a funny story about busting one of my employees
Speaker 1: on a conference call yesterday to have it call. At
Speaker 1: the top of the hour, the music's playing. Everyone thinks
Speaker 1: it's the music from the conference call company. It turns
Speaker 1: out it's my employee who has his microphone on and
Speaker 1: he's listening to the show and instead of having commercials,
Speaker 1: your break music is playing, and so I know it
Speaker 1: because I'm watching the show. I call this cell phone
Speaker 1: and say, hey, I need to talk to you for
Speaker 1: a minute. He goes away from his PC. You start
Speaker 1: the show, sixteen people on the conference call. Go hey,
Speaker 1: the conference call people are now doing the Dan Patrick
Speaker 1: show is did you know next time call me up
Speaker 1: and put me on the conference call with everybody. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: we'll do that, and final saying discharge back wrote all right,
Speaker 1: and what's the business that you run wrong? I'm in
Speaker 1: the it business, and if I told you what I did,
Speaker 1: I'd probably have to tell you I sold paper clips.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, I like that. I like that. All right, well,
Speaker 1: thank you, roll you call me up next time. You'll
Speaker 1: have a conference goal and I'll go on the conference goal.
Speaker 1: Mike Tuzchewski is set to join us. I like the
Speaker 1: answer he had the other night after beating North Carolina State,
Speaker 1: and I think he was reacting to social media what
Speaker 1: people fans have been saying. By the way, look at
Speaker 1: what's happened with Kentucky. Social media roughed up Kentucky last
Speaker 1: night after they lost in Tennessee, and I think coach
Speaker 1: Kay was responding to that when he had this great answer,
Speaker 1: will you lose then you we've lost. So the world
Speaker 1: is going to end, and a lot of pressures put on,
Speaker 1: you know, even social media, like it's amazing what people
Speaker 1: put out. You know, really, if you're our fans, don't
Speaker 1: do that. You know, come on, man, these kids are
Speaker 1: eighteen and nineteen years old. I mean, you can question
Speaker 1: my coaching and what the hell? And then when you
Speaker 1: do question it, by the way, just come into Cameron
Speaker 1: and woke up in the ceiling, all right, and then
Speaker 1: then find out if you should question that. You know that.
Speaker 1: Don't do anything with our players, you know, just support them.
Speaker 1: That's coach k. He didn't go scoreboard, he went raptors
Speaker 1: there and Coach k joining us. I liked it. Man,
Speaker 1: you're you're becoming irascible here. Well, you know, my job
Speaker 1: is not to have my players affected, you know, and
Speaker 1: I don't want them answering people, and the other thing
Speaker 1: in saying saying that it's it moves it to me.
Speaker 1: And so you're not then talk about me, don't talk
Speaker 1: about them. And you know it was the right thing
Speaker 1: to do, whether the right words or whatever. You all
Speaker 1: can judge that. Oh I loved it. I loved it,
Speaker 1: but I just you know, we're so impatient nowadays coach
Speaker 1: where we don't take in sort of the volume of
Speaker 1: what has been accomplished, because what's wrong with us now?
Speaker 1: Like it's you know, there's this panel right right, No
Speaker 1: there is, and you know, like I think part of
Speaker 1: it too. And although I think if this has been
Speaker 1: good for college basketball, a couple a few years ago,
Speaker 1: people were saying, you know, the regular season doesn't mean much,
Speaker 1: you know, it's but you know, now we start seating
Speaker 1: people in December, and people are on the bubble, you know,
Speaker 1: and it's like the day to day thing, you know,
Speaker 1: and it's created more interest, but it also it creates
Speaker 1: judgment on that specific day instead of your body of work,
Speaker 1: or people are improving, or people are going through a
Speaker 1: little bit of tough time. And by the way, in
Speaker 1: order to improve sometimes you have to most of the
Speaker 1: time you have to go through a tough time and
Speaker 1: it's part of a whole season. But everyone in our
Speaker 1: sport now is being judged by the bubble where you're seated,
Speaker 1: what wine you dropped to, are you in out, are
Speaker 1: you close to being out? Are you the next four,
Speaker 1: the final eight? Or we have so many things that
Speaker 1: you can be well. Also, the mock draft for your
Speaker 1: players as well. Those are crazy, like they change every week,
Speaker 1: and you know, by the way, hardly any of those
Speaker 1: are ever correct, you know, I mean, what do you
Speaker 1: think all the gems are getting together and saying, these
Speaker 1: are the guys we're going to draft, and you know,
Speaker 1: and then when you don't get drafted where you're supposed to,
Speaker 1: then we blame it on the kid for falling in
Speaker 1: the draft. It's just because, Hey, somebody who is not
Speaker 1: affiliated with a program or a scouter is just a
Speaker 1: writer who's saying, hey, here's my mock draft. James Wiseman
Speaker 1: is going to go number one. I'm like, right, okay,
Speaker 1: you know one of the ball boys is gonna go
Speaker 1: like night Like I it's hard to keep about you
Speaker 1: sixty six, you're just a second round yeah, and it's
Speaker 1: your bet moving Patrick last, Hey, I got last couple
Speaker 1: of weeks. My dating flyers are pretty well. They're doing
Speaker 1: pretty well. They're coach you know there they are coached
Speaker 1: by a heck of a guy who you know, obviously
Speaker 1: it's his alma mater too that he you know, sometimes
Speaker 1: you get let go and then you like, he's grown
Speaker 1: so much and he's albably spent an outstanding coach. But
Speaker 1: I think he has really shown it. Man, I think
Speaker 1: he's you know, and there a number of guys that
Speaker 1: have done a great job, but you know, for National
Speaker 1: Coach of the Year, he's got to be a prime
Speaker 1: guy for that. Do you want to have a bet?
Speaker 1: Who goes farther date they're duke? No? I don't you know?
Speaker 1: We're not allowed to bet. I know you you have
Speaker 1: sports wagers and things like as I do a show,
Speaker 1: Yes I do, and uh right. The only bet I
Speaker 1: made was that, uh, your your show is going to
Speaker 1: continue for forever, and because it's so damn good and
Speaker 1: so far as one on that bet. But but when
Speaker 1: you retire, I retire. No, don't you I'll retire before
Speaker 1: you retire. You don't think you'll last another five years.
Speaker 1: Let's not talk about five years. Let's just talk about
Speaker 1: the fact week at Carolina, I just signed up for
Speaker 1: five more years, coach. Well, they were smart, you want
Speaker 1: to imagine it. No, look, I'm signing up as long
Speaker 1: as I want to be signed up for. I'm beyond
Speaker 1: five years. Oh oh, did you just go to the
Speaker 1: raptors with me as well? No? I did not I
Speaker 1: did not, but I think it respect that I have
Speaker 1: a better contract than you. But that's all right. I
Speaker 1: deserve it, Yeah you do, but you deserve a good
Speaker 1: one too. Yeah, I'm not. I'm not selfish where I
Speaker 1: feel I should only get I should only get it,
Speaker 1: and I want to reward excellence. I want excellence rewarded.
Speaker 1: Let's put it that one. I have so many banners.
Speaker 1: I have to build new raptors here, coach. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: don't put them like for being in the tournament. Oh,
Speaker 1: the banners are only championships, not that you are participant.
Speaker 1: Do you have acc CO camps banner? Well, that's a
Speaker 1: champ though it's Code camp. Yeah, it's like a Code tamp.
Speaker 1: It's not like a true tamp there. Yeah, well we
Speaker 1: should have had a playoff then, right, Yeah, people get
Speaker 1: the banner. North Carolina coming up this weekend at Cameron Indoor.
Speaker 1: Do you know what any team do you have right now?
Speaker 1: Not completely? Now? How long does it usually take the
Speaker 1: whole season? I don't think you ever know completely. Yeah,
Speaker 1: even a veteran team, there's always there's there's always something
Speaker 1: happening in in development of an individual, an injury, a kid,
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes during this time of the year, a
Speaker 1: kid starts worrying about an older player. What about Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know March is exciting, but what what's happened to
Speaker 1: me in May? And you know, just the things that
Speaker 1: can happen to human beings. So I think you always
Speaker 1: are and they happen more to eighteen to twenty two
Speaker 1: year old kids, and I like my team. I think
Speaker 1: my team responded well, they've they've really done a good
Speaker 1: job this year. But there's a lot more variance because
Speaker 1: they're all every one of them is a developing player.
Speaker 1: They're not They're not at a level that a Tatum
Speaker 1: was or Bagley or Carter or Zion or r That's
Speaker 1: not knocking them. Those kids were just at a different
Speaker 1: level and even in competitive maturity, and we're developing all
Speaker 1: that and overall our kids have won. You know, they're
Speaker 1: twenty four and six. I mean, they've been terrific. Talking
Speaker 1: to Mike Chevsky, his team's twelfth in the nation. They
Speaker 1: got North Carolina coming up this weekend at Cameron Indoor.
Speaker 1: Zion went on JJ Reddick's podcast a while back and
Speaker 1: said that he really he wanted to stay another year
Speaker 1: at Duke. Now you told him to go, Like, did
Speaker 1: you have that conversation where he said, Coach, I want
Speaker 1: to stay or can I stay? No? No, I always
Speaker 1: Zion love loves Duke, and Zion loved every everything about
Speaker 1: the guys. Their college life too, you know what one
Speaker 1: of the things, you know, I remember Kobe telling me
Speaker 1: and my wife, you know, you know he never went
Speaker 1: to college. You know, I I wish that I had gone.
Speaker 1: And then obviously I couldn't go, because that's where you
Speaker 1: make friends, you know, And and Zion has a lot
Speaker 1: of friends here and uh and he would like you
Speaker 1: have loved to have made more friends, but obviously, economically
Speaker 1: and the fact that you only have a certain lifespan
Speaker 1: as a as a pro player, you got to go
Speaker 1: when you have to go. But you know, he was
Speaker 1: back there in the All Star break for about four
Speaker 1: days and worked out. You know, it's a safe place,
Speaker 1: it's a home. That's what we want these guys to understand.
Speaker 1: And when they come back, no one wants anything from you.
Speaker 1: Just be you and chill out and work out. And
Speaker 1: that's what he's saying. And you know he doesn't live
Speaker 1: that life anywhere else. We had Kobe on a few times.
Speaker 1: And I remember it might have been ten years ago
Speaker 1: where I said, if you had gone to college, where
Speaker 1: would you have gone? He said, old Duke. Did you
Speaker 1: recruit him? Yeah, we did. He never took this as
Speaker 1: we knew he was going to go pro. And you know,
Speaker 1: I never saw Lebron play in high school. But Kobe,
Speaker 1: I've said this many many times for many years. Kobe
Speaker 1: was the best high school player I ever saw. And
Speaker 1: he had a maturity, a competitive arrogance to go along
Speaker 1: with his talent that was way way off the charts
Speaker 1: even as a high school player. When he walked into
Speaker 1: a gym, even for a summer league game, the gym
Speaker 1: worked around and said, oh, Kobe's here, and and then
Speaker 1: he he did it. Just really, the two players that
Speaker 1: I had association with, and Michael Jordan, just for a
Speaker 1: brief time with the Dream Team, they had that. That's
Speaker 1: why I love the fact that they became friends. And
Speaker 1: Michael has said that he was like a little brother.
Speaker 1: And by the way, how his eulogy, his talk at
Speaker 1: at that service for Kobe was unbelievable, just unbelievable. But
Speaker 1: I you know, Mike, it almost seemed like he developed
Speaker 1: that confidence once he got to the NBA, whereas Kobe
Speaker 1: had it at an early age. Yeah. I think Kobe
Speaker 1: had it and maybe by you know, growing up in
Speaker 1: Italy and being around older players and that. I thought
Speaker 1: Michael developed it while he was at North Carolina and
Speaker 1: you could see him grow into that. Oh you noticed
Speaker 1: it in college because I just never looked at him
Speaker 1: that way because it felt like he was more worthy
Speaker 1: team than Michael. And Michael of course hit the big
Speaker 1: shot to win the nice ones. Yeah, but you could.
Speaker 1: I think he was still developing. You know, he was
Speaker 1: developing that. That's what I'm where. And then yeah, he
Speaker 1: he and Kobe were cut from the same cloth, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. They two of the incredibly unique
Speaker 1: athletes and competitors in any sport. And the fact that
Speaker 1: they had that relationship with something we want. I think
Speaker 1: it's through USA Basketball. The relationship that Kobe developed with
Speaker 1: Lebron would never have been developed had it not been
Speaker 1: for USA Basketball and their ability to play on two
Speaker 1: teams together and when two gold medals they were, they
Speaker 1: were fantastic together. And I think the thing that people
Speaker 1: don't realize, it's just how brilliant Kobe was and so
Speaker 1: and lebron Is, and they recognized not just talent, they
Speaker 1: recognized their inner the inner drive, but also the fact
Speaker 1: that so damned smart. But how do you coach that
Speaker 1: because that's a different personality that you know when you
Speaker 1: see that in college, how do you take advantage of
Speaker 1: it um and let that personality be something that's positive
Speaker 1: for these players? Now, it's a good question, and what
Speaker 1: you try to do is not put a ceiling on
Speaker 1: it or give it an opportunity that two you know,
Speaker 1: just like you would say, would you know, take whenever
Speaker 1: you feel it you can shoot, you know with these guys,
Speaker 1: with guys of that caliber, whatever you are thinking, say
Speaker 1: it and don't think that other guys are thinking what
Speaker 1: you're thinking that because they're not. Every once in a
Speaker 1: while they might be. But you know, in other words,
Speaker 1: have a voice, you know where you can say what
Speaker 1: you want to say whenever you feel you know, whenever
Speaker 1: you feel it. And that's how we did it with
Speaker 1: the the US team. And when I have a try
Speaker 1: to get on my team Trey Jones to do that. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I said, you know, say what you think
Speaker 1: at the moment you're thinking, and everybody will be better
Speaker 1: and the guy who will be the most, who will
Speaker 1: get better the most is you because you you'll be
Speaker 1: in control of your environment. Then and when you have
Speaker 1: a brilliant player, the ability to say things at the
Speaker 1: moment you're competing is much more important than what a
Speaker 1: coach says on the moments where you're not competing, you're
Speaker 1: just preparing, or you're at a time out. When you
Speaker 1: have a player that can do that during competition, boy,
Speaker 1: it takes it to a level. You have a magic Johnson.
Speaker 1: You know you have guys there. You know there aren't
Speaker 1: that many, but when when you see you see the physical,
Speaker 1: but what they do with their voice is phenomenal. It's
Speaker 1: just phenomenal. Are you more likely to know how many
Speaker 1: wins you have or how many lasses you have? I
Speaker 1: don't know either. Well, for the season, I know, I
Speaker 1: don't know. This is all time. No, I don't know.
Speaker 1: You don't you don't know. I mean I know we
Speaker 1: have worked over eleven hundred because someone said we celebrated
Speaker 1: eleven hundred and uh. And I know when when there's
Speaker 1: certain so called milestones because John Jackson and Michael George
Speaker 1: and all the people say, you know that was your
Speaker 1: one thousand win as a ranked team as a ranked team,
Speaker 1: or that was your five hundred ACC win, you know
Speaker 1: against ACC competition. And then when I hear that, I said, wow,
Speaker 1: that's that's good. That's pretty pretty good. But you can't
Speaker 1: that's not the thing that You've got to be in
Speaker 1: the moment you're in, I mean, and then that other
Speaker 1: stuff takes care of itself. Well, you say, we have
Speaker 1: one thousand, one hundred and fifty six wins, but you
Speaker 1: have three hundred and fifty losses, you know, yeah you yeah,
Speaker 1: I blame I blame all those losses on you. No,
Speaker 1: you know, you have three. It feels like we when
Speaker 1: we win, but it's you when you lose. I think
Speaker 1: that the coach feels that, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're making
Speaker 1: more sense now, Thank you. I thought you were, you know,
Speaker 1: going on the sword for me. What's what are you
Speaker 1: having for lunch today? I don't. I don't really eat lunch.
Speaker 1: I uh, we we have a we practice at one thirty,
Speaker 1: so I have a waiter breakfast. I usually have two
Speaker 1: meals during the day, just carry I stopped by, like,
Speaker 1: what are we having? Well, we can get your stuff,
Speaker 1: you know, what do you want? We'll get you know
Speaker 1: we ain't to please. But if we went out, that
Speaker 1: doesn't mean I'm going to eat with you, but I'll
Speaker 1: find a space like up in the upper death. But
Speaker 1: but if we went to Durham and we went to dinner,
Speaker 1: where are we going? That's surprising? What if I had
Speaker 1: job my house, take it down to my wine cellar?
Speaker 1: I like that? Yeah, now this is like it. So
Speaker 1: you know that'll never happen. Okay, but I know you
Speaker 1: now no, but yeah, you have like a two bedroom
Speaker 1: bungalow something like that. We have a real small We
Speaker 1: don't have like a like a crazy house, but we
Speaker 1: have a Is it a mansion, No, it's it's really.
Speaker 1: What we do have is a great a great area
Speaker 1: because we have fourteen acres from land and eight of
Speaker 1: them are deer fenced and we do a lot of
Speaker 1: flowers and tree. The basketball hoop there because I got
Speaker 1: to put on a clinic there is okay, and you
Speaker 1: can adjust the height that we'll get it down to
Speaker 1: seven and a half feat But you're gonna have to
Speaker 1: get back up nets if I come to town. That's
Speaker 1: all I'm going to say. We have chained nets Chicago.
Speaker 1: I grow up in the suburbs like you. You know
Speaker 1: we have chained nets. We didn't have nets, yeah, because
Speaker 1: all your your rich friends, my rich friends. No, all
Speaker 1: we just had rims. And then I hated it because
Speaker 1: every time I'd swish it, then, you know, did you
Speaker 1: have to go chase the ball? I never touched the rim?
Speaker 1: I mean really, that's what's amazing about swish or an airball? Right? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely. Hey you have fun against North Carolina. I
Speaker 1: hope we do. Yeah, thank you, coach. Great to talk
Speaker 1: to you. It's always good. Thank you. That's Mike Shushevsky.
Speaker 1: Pretty decent coach. You two are so cute. Yeah we are. Yeah,
Speaker 1: one of these days going down there, going down there
Speaker 1: and just gonna just walk into practice pick up basketball
Speaker 1: and start taking some shots. Have him go, what are
Speaker 1: you doing here? I love Duke? Yeah, how do you
Speaker 1: think it fly? We just walked in, No no shot, like,
Speaker 1: no adaptment. Yeah, I don't think that would go so well, right,
Speaker 1: I don't think like you just started talking to kids.
