Speaker 1: You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Our two on this Monday.
Speaker 2: Hope you had a great weekend. How are your brackets?
Speaker 2: Mine a mess? I had Florida playing in the National
Speaker 2: Title game against my Arizona Wildcats. Charles Barkley will join
Speaker 2: us in about twenty minutes from now. Phone calls, especially
Speaker 2: on a Monday, Best and worst of the weekend? What
Speaker 2: you saw that you liked you didn't like? Stat of
Speaker 2: the Day brought to you by Panini America, the official
Speaker 2: trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. In case you're
Speaker 2: just joining us. Seattle Seahawks now have the highest paid
Speaker 2: wide receiver in NFL history, Jackson Smith and Jigba. He's
Speaker 2: going to make over forty two million dollars a year.
Speaker 2: He's twenty four, so you got at least three more
Speaker 2: years of prime and then he's going to be in
Speaker 2: the market for another deal. And who knows what we're
Speaker 2: paying wide receivers in three years from now, We're going
Speaker 2: to get close, and a lot sooner than you think.
Speaker 2: With the first one hundred million dollar a year basketball player,
Speaker 2: that's not that far off, And it might be Wemby,
Speaker 2: it might be Shay Gilgis. It might be Luca, but
Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards, Like, somebody's going to be making close to
Speaker 2: one hundred million dollars a year. And wide receivers, it
Speaker 2: wasn't long ago where you got somebody for twenty million
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden it went up to
Speaker 2: thirty and then a little bit higher than that. And
Speaker 2: now you come off a Super Bowl win and you
Speaker 2: can stake the claim you're the best wide receiver in
Speaker 2: football and you're making forty two million dollars a year.
Speaker 2: Good for him. Timings, everything all right? Eight seven to
Speaker 2: seven three DP show email address Dpatdanpatrick dot com, Twitter
Speaker 2: handle a DP show, I recap some of the action
Speaker 2: from over the weekend, just a couple other things. You know,
Speaker 2: Ben McCollum has done a really good job. First year
Speaker 2: he was at Drake, and then he comes over. And
Speaker 2: what you're finding now is if I hired that coach
Speaker 2: at that university, chances are he's coming with some players.
Speaker 2: And that's what he did. He added five players from Drake,
Speaker 2: multiple other players from lower tier programs filled out the
Speaker 2: roster and here he is Texas and eleven seed. But
Speaker 2: not a Cinderella story, you know, the Saint John's turnaround
Speaker 2: can be attributed to two people, probably obviously Rick Patino,
Speaker 2: but then there is a billionaire backer. This guy made
Speaker 2: his money from Vitamin water and body armor, and I
Speaker 2: think he made about nine point seven billion dollars on
Speaker 2: that transaction when he sold them to Coca Cola. He's
Speaker 2: spending some of that money. He's spending some of that
Speaker 2: money on Saint John's basket ball team. It feels like
Speaker 2: every university should be able to have a sugar daddy.
Speaker 2: Remember when UCLA had Sam Gilbert and helped them win
Speaker 2: national championships. But I would think, can't UCLA find a
Speaker 2: sugar daddy now a big donor. A lot of these
Speaker 2: schools you could have multiple ones to pick from, But
Speaker 2: here's Saint John's. It's like, and you see this guy,
Speaker 2: he's on the bench when when you know Saint John's wins,
Speaker 2: it feels like Rick goes to his billionaire backer just
Speaker 2: to say thank you, thank you. But fun over the
Speaker 2: weekend and getting to see these great coaches, Hall of
Speaker 2: Fame coaches going head to head, and you know, when
Speaker 2: you think about it, you could have somebody young who's
Speaker 2: just getting started or taking over a major program. But
Speaker 2: then you get the old guard and still able to
Speaker 2: do it because they can adapt. And I said this
Speaker 2: when I started the show. It's it's not a coincidence.
Speaker 2: These guys, whether it's Patino, cattle Perry, certainly tom Izzo,
Speaker 2: the ability to adapt to today's landscape NIL boosters collectives kids.
Speaker 3: Am I going to start? Am I going to play? Hey?
Speaker 2: Now, you'll hear teams that they'll make an announcement that
Speaker 2: somebody is staying, which seems wild, but what happens is
Speaker 2: these kids or their agent will say to the coach
Speaker 2: or athletic director, all stay, but I want this. That's
Speaker 2: that's what goes on at a lot of schools. You
Speaker 2: can renegotiate and I get it. Let's say you're, you know,
Speaker 2: your freshman year, sophomore year, and you could transfer or
Speaker 2: you say, hey, i'll stay, but it's going to cost
Speaker 2: you this, And that's what happens at mid majors. You
Speaker 2: got them, hold on to them, and then you know
Speaker 2: you got to let them go because you won't be
Speaker 2: able to pay Yes, Martin, and.
Speaker 4: It's so difficult. Even on top of the money. A
Speaker 4: lot of those kids that are playing lower level division
Speaker 4: on basketball. Their dream was to play at Duke Carolina
Speaker 4: at Kansas Kentucky. So if one of those schools comes calling,
Speaker 4: because maybe they were under recruiter or nobody saw them
Speaker 4: in high school, they're thinking, besides the money, I get
Speaker 4: to play in twenty thousand seed arenas and play on
Speaker 4: TV all the time.
Speaker 2: And I was talking to somebody who coaches at a
Speaker 2: mid major and he was saying, what do you think
Speaker 2: my payroll is? You guys want to guess this is
Speaker 2: this team didn't make the tournament, but and they're not
Speaker 2: really well known, but you know you've heard of them.
Speaker 2: What do you think their payroll? Their budget is for
Speaker 2: an entire season? They're nil? This is basketball.
Speaker 3: Paulie seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 5: Marvin five hundred thousand dollars, Seaton two million dollars, God
Speaker 5: one point three million.
Speaker 2: One hundred and fifty thousand dollars. And he was telling
Speaker 2: me how it's like a jigsaw puzzle. He'll be like,
Speaker 2: you know, I can get that guy for this, but
Speaker 2: then I'm gonna have to let this guy go. But
Speaker 2: then if I let him go, I can probably get
Speaker 2: this guy for a little less than like it's trying
Speaker 2: to make all the pieces fit. But it's a finite
Speaker 2: amount of money. It's not like somebody goes, here's this,
Speaker 2: go out and get whatever you want. It's you're shopping
Speaker 2: for groceries. You're just not shopping in the best supermarket.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a lot like doing a fantasy football or
Speaker 6: like fantasy draft, like, oh man, if I want this guy,
Speaker 6: but then that one costs too much, then I gotta
Speaker 6: go over to this guy.
Speaker 3: It's just like doing your fantasy team. Yeah. Yeah, Paulie.
Speaker 7: So a guy like that at that kind of mid
Speaker 7: major spending one hundred and fifty grand, he's not competing
Speaker 7: for national titles. He's competing in his own conference to
Speaker 7: be above five hundred to keep his job for a
Speaker 7: couple more years.
Speaker 3: Well, yes, but he does.
Speaker 2: He says, Look, you know, we have aspirations to win
Speaker 2: our conference and get into the tournament. I mean, if
Speaker 2: we did that, you know, no matter, you know, if
Speaker 2: we're in the first four, whatever, it is just getting in,
Speaker 2: like Miami, Ohio. I don't know what that'll do for enrollment.
Speaker 2: I don't know what that will do for your collective
Speaker 2: nil high point and a great week you know, you
Speaker 2: get those opportunities and they don't happen very often, you
Speaker 2: take advantage of them. Nebraska basketball never won a tournament game.
Speaker 2: Now here you are. Now that's where you get people's attention.
Speaker 2: You know, the fans travel. But Nebraska's been good all
Speaker 2: year long. It's just nobody was going to buy into
Speaker 2: Nebraska basketball, yes, Marvin.
Speaker 4: It also gets tricky for the coaches in mid major
Speaker 4: programs because say, if you're a by Nfield at Florida
Speaker 4: Gulf Coast, O Shaheen Holloway at St. A. Saint Peter's, like,
Speaker 4: guess what, I made a big run. I'm not going
Speaker 4: to be here much longer because now I'm hot.
Speaker 2: Yes, and it's good that they did that because we
Speaker 2: haven't heard from those schools in a while. Like you
Speaker 2: you have the opportunity, you go. But if you're a player,
Speaker 2: you do the same thing. If you're at a smaller
Speaker 2: school and you have a great year, you get recognition,
Speaker 2: then you go. It's all timing. I mentioned Jack Jackson,
Speaker 2: Smith and Jigba forty two point one million. That is
Speaker 2: about two million more than Jamar Chase, seven, more than
Speaker 2: Justin Jefferson eight, more than CD lamb nine more than
Speaker 2: DK Metcalf. Garrett Wilson quietly makes thirty two and a
Speaker 2: half millions. He needs to give up some of that
Speaker 2: money and get him a quarterback. But thirty two and
Speaker 2: a half million dollars, well you got you know AYUK
Speaker 2: was making thirty million, which I went you got to
Speaker 2: be kidding me.
Speaker 5: Yes, Why does Garrett have to give up money?
Speaker 8: I don't know.
Speaker 5: You should be on the scouts. I'm not giving up
Speaker 5: a don.
Speaker 3: I'm just joking it. God, Sports radio conversation. No, just
Speaker 3: have relaxed a little bit.
Speaker 2: Okay, you're girly two bays.
Speaker 5: I'm only two days back from suspension.
Speaker 2: You had a day off. Yukon men's and women's teams
Speaker 2: are rolling. Should be fine. Danny Hurley hadn't said anything
Speaker 2: crazy yet. Yeah, yes, Paul.
Speaker 7: You were talking about UCLA basketball and needing a sugar daddy.
Speaker 7: UCLA ranks seventeenth in the country with most billionaires produced
Speaker 7: by a university. They currently have at least twelve billionaires
Speaker 7: amongst our lumps. The biggest gift anyone's ever made to
Speaker 7: UCLA was three weeks ago. A couple gave a one
Speaker 7: hundred million dollar gift for their health sciences division. Of course,
Speaker 7: the unimportant stuff, not important stuff like basket helping people live.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, basketball used to be life blood.
Speaker 7: Now we're worried about medicine.
Speaker 3: Yeah, doctor keeping people alive, it's your priority, straight, USA.
Speaker 3: Let's go.
Speaker 9: All right?
Speaker 3: See Seaton poll question from hour one, and what are
Speaker 3: we going with an hour two? Yeah?
Speaker 6: Worst of the weekend Florida, Kentucky, Kansas or the lower
Speaker 6: seeds right now? Florida running away with that one, followed
Speaker 6: by Kentucky. We also put up there from Paul. Which
Speaker 6: states dislike each other the most? Michigan, Ohio, Iowa, Nebraska, Oklahoma,
Speaker 6: Texas or other right now? Michigan, Ohio also running away
Speaker 6: with that one. And then we have this one here too.
Speaker 6: Best time zoned to live in Eastern Central from Mountain.
Speaker 3: Or Pacific as a sports fan, Okay, Central right now dominating. Yeah.
Speaker 6: You know who's getting almost as no love in this
Speaker 6: guess Mountain Mountain, Mountain gets no It's like, whatever, what
Speaker 6: even is that time?
Speaker 3: I don't even know what it is that time zone? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Is it two hours?
Speaker 7: Yeah, Paul, Mountain time zone is the best for sports fans.
Speaker 7: Not too early not too late, get to bet at
Speaker 7: a good hour.
Speaker 3: According to this is the worst Paul. People don't know
Speaker 3: my mountain. People know no.
Speaker 2: Mountain dress Will James in Virginia, Hi James, what's on
Speaker 2: your mind today?
Speaker 9: Oh?
Speaker 10: Thank you for taking my call.
Speaker 8: Brother.
Speaker 10: Happy Monday, DP than salute the commands man big time,
Speaker 10: all the time, every time. What a great time in
Speaker 10: sports man, Mark Manson, there has been nothing but buzzer beaters.
Speaker 10: Lesson right man, that is farm of what happened to
Speaker 10: Kansas deep fallen like that instead of playing and defense
Speaker 10: straight Carmer to me, Texas has got to be one
Speaker 10: of the biggest surprises man, winning three games in a row.
Speaker 10: They are on the chair. It's gonna be interesting to
Speaker 10: see what they can do. And someone explained to me,
Speaker 10: watch Florida's calling time out after scoring a big bucket
Speaker 10: ile on the heels and they called time out. They
Speaker 10: come out in the worst defense possible. It makes no sense.
Speaker 10: And that guy driving the ball at the end, you
Speaker 10: gotta at least put it up towards the hoop. Man.
Speaker 10: You can't just go underneath the basket with four seconds
Speaker 10: on the crock. Go glue all the way, man, I
Speaker 10: think they're gonna win it. It's gonna be a great
Speaker 10: speet sixteen, great battles all the way around. You guys,
Speaker 10: have a great day, gentlemen. They's taking my.
Speaker 3: Sass and we get the balls, all right, thank you, James.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we want Cinderella stories until we get to the
Speaker 2: Sweet sixteen or the Elite eight. We just got it
Speaker 2: ahead a schedule this year that we don't have Cinderellas.
Speaker 2: Now there's no Loyola of Chicago, no George Mason, no Butler.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Marvin, Yeah, you don't want them in Lucas Oil Stadium.
Speaker 4: You want them in Mike Sweet sixteen, Elite, elite at best.
Speaker 4: But I don't want you in Lucas Oil Stadium. You
Speaker 4: can't fill up sixty thousand seeds. You don't want them
Speaker 4: in there. You want Kansas and Kentucky playing one another. Butler, Well, Butler, yeah,
Speaker 4: Lucas Orion. That was a home game.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Jerry McNamara leaving Sienna to go to Syracuse. And
Speaker 2: it'll be interesting this week in Chapel Hill with Hubert
Speaker 2: Davis's future kind of hanging in the balance.
Speaker 3: Here, Nate in La Hi, Nate.
Speaker 9: Hello, Dan, I have two best of the weekend, first
Speaker 9: Gonzaga bowing out of the Attorney Suck at Spokane in Washington. Second,
Speaker 9: with Gonzaga leaving the WCC for the Pac twelve, my
Speaker 9: Loyola Marrimount University Alliance have a fighting chance to finally
Speaker 9: make an appearance in Antay Tournament, which they haven't done
Speaker 9: since Bo Kimball and the late Great Hank Galls nineteen
Speaker 9: ninety seasons.
Speaker 2: All right, thank you, Nate, We'll take a break. More
Speaker 2: phone calls coming out. Charles Barkley joins us next Dan

Speaker 11: Polly and Tony Fosco Show.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 11: But instead of us telling you how great we are,
Speaker 11: here's how Dan Patrick described us when he came on
Speaker 11: our show.
Speaker 2: Quick, knowledgeable and funny, opinionated.
Speaker 8: What are you doing? Were interrupting our promo?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you wasn't talking about you. You took those clips
Speaker 1: totally out of context.
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, well, after this promo, I'm gonna take you
Speaker 11: out and beat you.
Speaker 3: Let me put this into context.
Speaker 1: Shut up.
Speaker 11: Yeah, anyway, just listen to the Paully and Tony Fusco
Speaker 11: Show on Iartradio, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2: Yee oh, my college basketball source just sent me a
Speaker 2: text remind Marvin that Butler played in the only eleven
Speaker 2: final four in Houston as well, even advanced to the
Speaker 2: title game.
Speaker 3: Sold out tickets sold out.
Speaker 2: Marvin pounding on the little guy shooting for a second
Speaker 2: suspension in a week. What a shame. I can't suspend
Speaker 2: you for something like that. Okay, I'm not going to.
Speaker 2: Would you like to apologize to Butler?
Speaker 5: As a matter of fact, I won't. I didn't want
Speaker 5: to see him forgive me.
Speaker 2: Sorry, No apologies coming from this guy. Charles Barkley Hall
Speaker 2: of Famer. Eh, haven't seen you, Charles. You've been on
Speaker 2: TV lately here you're doing commercials.
Speaker 3: Haven't seen much of you.
Speaker 12: Like a real job right now, just like a real
Speaker 12: Thursday and Friday. Like that's like the only time of
Speaker 12: my life I had, like a real job. Because you're
Speaker 12: on from noon to midnight. Once you get to Thursday
Speaker 12: and Friday. But man, right now my life feels like
Speaker 12: a real job. But you know, all the heavy lifting
Speaker 12: is over. Man, It's just here on out.
Speaker 3: But do you like watching college or the NBA? If
Speaker 3: you had to choose, There's.
Speaker 8: Nothing like Mars Madness.
Speaker 12: I've said this before, especially the Final Four is the
Speaker 12: greatest thing ever other than the Olympics. I've been honored
Speaker 12: and blessed to play in the Olympics twice and is
Speaker 12: on a whole other level against any sporting event because
Speaker 12: I tell people, like, in the playoffs or anything, you
Speaker 12: have seven games, you never know which game is going
Speaker 12: to be iconic. But when you go to the Olympics, man,
Speaker 12: it's unbelievable. But I'll tell you this, man, the Final
Speaker 12: Four is the second best thing I've ever been a
Speaker 12: part of other than the Olympics.
Speaker 2: What frustrates you the most when you're watching these games.
Speaker 12: Well, I can't watch it like a regular fan, Like
Speaker 12: I'm just like you have to always say, like, what
Speaker 12: was that guy thinking?
Speaker 8: What was that guy thinking?
Speaker 12: So like, I'm like, and I'm not trying to say
Speaker 12: that I was the greatest thing, but I know how
Speaker 12: to play really good basketball. But you see yourself guys
Speaker 12: doing stuff and like it was so funny. Yesterday Clark Kellogg,
Speaker 12: who it was an amazing dude. Man, he's an amazing
Speaker 12: dude and I love working with him in Adam Zucker
Speaker 12: and Nate Berlinson was great and self Joinna and Renee Montgomery.
Speaker 12: But Clark says to me, you think they're gonna pressure.
Speaker 12: I said, no, hell no, they're not gonna put pressure.
Speaker 12: He said, why would you not pressure? I said, well,
Speaker 12: you got to lead. But I said, if you put pressure,
Speaker 12: you're just gonna start a fast break and give up
Speaker 12: a wide open three.
Speaker 8: More than likely.
Speaker 12: And five ten seconds later, because I was saying, I said,
Speaker 12: well you got to lead, why would you pressure? Just
Speaker 12: keep the ball in front of you, make them make
Speaker 12: a shot. I said, if they press, they just gonna
Speaker 12: start a fast break. And I'm it was just like
Speaker 12: I I didn't know they I said, they probably gonna
Speaker 12: end up getting the three too, because that guy's gonna
Speaker 12: be coming downhill fast. And like in the NBA, nobody
Speaker 12: goes with you. They spread out to the three. So uh,
Speaker 12: it was really cool moments I had exactly like and
Speaker 12: it worked out. I said, they gonna I said, oh,
Speaker 12: they better not pressure. They're just gonna be a fast
Speaker 12: break starter. But I hate watching bad basketball. Uh, that's
Speaker 12: that's probably my one of my really weaknesses.
Speaker 8: To be honest with you, I hate bad basketball.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you on the pressing. Iowa, I didn't
Speaker 2: understand it. I want everything in front of me. Make
Speaker 2: them have to work it a little bit. All you
Speaker 2: gotta do is beat one guy. Yeah, if you beat
Speaker 2: if you beat the press, it's three on two and
Speaker 2: all you got to do is sit in the corner.
Speaker 8: And you got to lead.
Speaker 2: Dad.
Speaker 12: I know, I was like because I said, if press
Speaker 12: is just gonna be a fast breakstarter, and it was
Speaker 12: just one of the worst defensive calls.
Speaker 8: Uh, it was just a bad play.
Speaker 12: And then he compounded it after the game and said,
Speaker 12: well we were gonna file. I'm like, that makes it
Speaker 12: even worse. Are you chasing dudes if you're gonna fout?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 8: I wish I would.
Speaker 12: I wish he had have said, and I think coach
Speaker 12: Golden is a terrific coach. You know what, because I
Speaker 12: will actually outplayed them a deserve to win the game.
Speaker 12: That's what he should have said. He said, you know what,
Speaker 12: they outplayed us. Because they outplayed them, they deserve.
Speaker 8: To win that game. Yeah, yeah, they I mean they.
Speaker 12: Beat their front line up with a bunch of little dudes.
Speaker 12: They out worked them, they out hustled. The coach had
Speaker 12: a great game plan, so listen, that's what he should
Speaker 12: have said. And saying something like, uh, we like we
Speaker 12: were gonna file that was a bad look.
Speaker 2: What about Kansas Saint John's with I mean, I like
Speaker 2: the strategy that Bill self had a foul take time,
Speaker 2: foul take time, foul take time, but then they kind
Speaker 2: of forgot what they were doing.
Speaker 3: With that last play.
Speaker 12: Well, first of all, hats off to Kansas for coming back.
Speaker 12: There's no way they should have even been in that game.
Speaker 12: That game was over. They played terrible. They got four
Speaker 12: offensive rebounds in a row and put back. They the
Speaker 12: reason they were in the game. If if if Saint
Speaker 12: John's getting one of those rebounds, the game is over.
Speaker 12: I didn't I didn't mind the strategy. I just thought
Speaker 12: they should have saved one file. But that was just
Speaker 12: that was a straight line drive. You can't give up
Speaker 12: a straight line drive. I know people talking about come help.
Speaker 12: If you come help, you're gonna give up a three.
Speaker 12: But there's no way you should get beat on the state.
Speaker 12: The guy didn't have to veer at all. He just
Speaker 12: got the ball and drove right down the lane and
Speaker 12: shot the layup. So that was bad defense on his part.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 12: But you know what, they outplayed Kansas and they deserve
Speaker 12: to win that game. They almost gave it away now,
Speaker 12: but they played well. If that team could shoot, they
Speaker 12: would be dangerous.
Speaker 13: Well, they shoot a lot of threes and they're not
Speaker 13: making them. Hey, you know what it's like, They're like. See,
Speaker 13: that's one of the reasons I get first at the NBA. Dude,
Speaker 13: everybody can't shoot threes. And I don't mind you shooting threes.
Speaker 13: If you a good three points.
Speaker 3: Would you be shooting threes if you played in the NBA.
Speaker 12: No, but I probably would have to adapt to shoot
Speaker 12: some threes. But I would work on it, work on it.
Speaker 12: I try to be realistically, if you could get to
Speaker 12: forty percent. Uh, if you're shooting thirty or less, you
Speaker 12: shouldn't be shooting threes.
Speaker 8: So uh, no, I would you probably have to adapt.
Speaker 8: To be honest with.
Speaker 2: You, I got you at thirty four percent when you
Speaker 2: were in Phoenix for one year.
Speaker 12: That's not good, Dan, But I didn't take a lot
Speaker 12: I would. I bet you can count on one hand
Speaker 12: the times I took more than three.
Speaker 8: I'm pretty sure of that.
Speaker 3: Lay You had Marley, so you didn't need to be
Speaker 3: taking threes.
Speaker 12: I did have Martin, that's my man. But like you
Speaker 12: don't have to shoot. Arizona. My picture went off, shoots
Speaker 12: at least amount of threes of any team in the country,
Speaker 12: there and there and to me them in Michigan.
Speaker 8: I've always said this.
Speaker 12: I thought Arizona and Misig doing one of the two
Speaker 12: best teams all year, no disrespect to Duke or Florida
Speaker 12: or Yuka. Those are the ones, the number ones. But
Speaker 12: I thought i'd say it from the beginning. I think
Speaker 12: Arizona is gonna win this thing. I think Michigan is
Speaker 12: right there with him, and Arizona shoots at least amount
Speaker 12: of two threes in the in the whole country. Uh
Speaker 12: So it's gonna be It's gonna be interesting, gonna be
Speaker 12: a great tournament going forward. Man marsh Madden has never
Speaker 12: ever less us down. It's always spectacular.
Speaker 2: Talking to Charles Berkley, how do you explain Rick Patino
Speaker 2: still doing what he does and doing it at a
Speaker 2: high level. And he's been everywhere NBA Europe, small college,
Speaker 2: medium college, big college.
Speaker 12: Because he's just a great coach. His players are really
Speaker 12: good players that developed. I saw Jamal mashbarn talking about
Speaker 12: like he coaches the team, but he makes you do
Speaker 12: individual stuff to work on your basketball skills. And I
Speaker 12: think that's genius because you have two components of a team.
Speaker 8: You have the team, but you got to work, like, no,
Speaker 8: you need to go work on this. I mean.
Speaker 12: And I just happened to be listening, because you know,
Speaker 12: we have ten TVs during the game, watching four games
Speaker 12: at a time. But I was clicking on in the
Speaker 12: studio in Atlanta and he was talking about how and
Speaker 12: Jamal played for him thirty years ago. Buttino was the
Speaker 12: best I've ever seen here. He says, we have a
Speaker 12: team practice and then he has an individual thing later,
Speaker 12: and I'm like, how many coaches I know that. Greg
Speaker 12: Popovich always did that. I know pat Riley does that.
Speaker 12: When I was in the finals, a couple of times
Speaker 12: I saw those guys working on stuff. They didn't come
Speaker 12: out there just to shoot and get loose. They were
Speaker 12: working on individual skills. I think that's one thing that's lost. Like, yeah,
Speaker 12: you can play basketball, but you've got to get better
Speaker 12: at doing individual things because then you want to come
Speaker 12: together as a team.
Speaker 2: North Carolina feels like they're at a crossroads with Hubert Davis.
Speaker 12: You're surprising, surprising just quickly. Did he play for the
Speaker 12: championship like two years ago?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, in two years.
Speaker 12: But you know, Dan, college sports have changed forever. What
Speaker 12: I mean by that these people are not gonna let
Speaker 12: you pay kids. They're not gonna let you pay them
Speaker 12: all these millions and lose. It's unfortunate that after being
Speaker 12: in the championship game two years ago. But I said this,
Speaker 12: you know, we were talking about Bill sep who's one
Speaker 12: of the great dudes, great coaches. Like the game has changed, man,
Speaker 12: these coaches, you're not gonna get a long runway anymore.
Speaker 12: These boosters who are coming up with all this money,
Speaker 12: they're like, wait, you're coming to me every year for
Speaker 12: millions and millions of dollars.
Speaker 8: And we're not winning.
Speaker 12: The whole the whole landscape has changed, and uh, it'll
Speaker 12: never be the same again.
Speaker 8: And that's just the way it is. Is it right
Speaker 8: or wrong? No, it's not right.
Speaker 14: Or wrong.
Speaker 12: But if you're gonna pay these kids all this money,
Speaker 12: you're gonna have to win.
Speaker 13: Uh.
Speaker 12: And that's just the way it is. It's unfortunate, but
Speaker 12: that's the way it is.
Speaker 3: Brother, Does Kenny Smith want the North Carolina? John?
Speaker 8: Kenny could even make it through the weekend?
Speaker 15: Man?
Speaker 8: He got sick this weekend?
Speaker 3: No listen, man, his son's going there? Does he? He
Speaker 3: didn't want to coach North Carolina.
Speaker 12: Let me tell you two jobs that I would not
Speaker 12: want any coach right now. But with these players. And
Speaker 12: I'm not bashing the players because it's different. It's we've
Speaker 12: got two different things going here. In college, you've got
Speaker 12: to pay all these guys every year, and if they
Speaker 12: don't produce, you the one gonna get to blame. In
Speaker 12: the NBA, you can't even coach these guys. They're making
Speaker 12: so much money. Like, if they don't like you, you're
Speaker 12: gonna be gone. You can see, it's funny.
Speaker 13: I was.
Speaker 12: I haven't been watching a lot of NBA, but I've
Speaker 12: been reading the story what's going on in Orlando between
Speaker 12: the coach.
Speaker 2: Even when you're supposed to be watching a lot of NBA,
Speaker 2: you don't want to watch a lot of NBA.
Speaker 8: No, I watched the good teams. I don't watch crash.
Speaker 8: I don't. I don't know. My mind won't let me
Speaker 8: fixate the batch of basketball. They just won't.
Speaker 12: But I see that the coach and what the rumors
Speaker 12: are true. The coach and Paulo Bankero are not getting along.
Speaker 12: So the coach can start packing his stuff up, because
Speaker 12: Paulo Bankero is a heck of a player and he's
Speaker 12: probably gonna be making fifty sixty seventy million dollars in
Speaker 12: the next couple of years, and the guy who's making
Speaker 12: the least amount of money is going to be packing
Speaker 12: his bags.
Speaker 8: I think coach mosl is a good coach.
Speaker 12: I don't know what's going on behind the scenes, but
Speaker 12: the players have so much power now it's crazy.
Speaker 8: You can't even yell at him anymore.
Speaker 12: You can't, Like I don't when you yell at somebody
Speaker 12: when they do something wrong, that's called being a coach.
Speaker 12: Like you can't even people talking about you can't yell
Speaker 12: at your kids. Yes, hell, you can yell at your kids,
Speaker 12: and you whooped their ass too with.
Speaker 2: Let me tell you, I think you're allowed to do that.
Speaker 2: I don't think you can whoop ass anymore?
Speaker 12: Yes, you can. That's why these kids are crazy. And
Speaker 12: the kids, let me tell you this, don't ever get
Speaker 12: no damn hot wheel or race tracks because those things
Speaker 12: are dangerous and they leave whips because.
Speaker 2: Oh wait, who like your grandma, did you take a
Speaker 2: piece of the try to whip you?
Speaker 8: Listen.
Speaker 12: Once I got once I got too old for switches,
Speaker 12: oh yeah, and for your white folks switches or tree limbs.
Speaker 12: Once I got too big for the switches, and then
Speaker 12: I actually became a switch expert. I would get one
Speaker 12: that would break after about the fifth or six. You
Speaker 12: have to get one of those. You can't get one
Speaker 12: of those that are kind of wet because they don't break.
Speaker 12: You got to get one that's kind of dry. They
Speaker 12: break after five or six. Then one year, dad, I
Speaker 12: made the mistake of getting those hot wheel race tracks,
Speaker 12: and man, that.
Speaker 8: Was one of the worst decisions ever. So kids never
Speaker 8: get hot wheel race track.
Speaker 3: I loved hot wheels, man.
Speaker 8: Hey, I did too, until it became a weapon.
Speaker 2: I gotta give your grandma a credit for looking at it.
Speaker 2: You know I got I got spanked with uh with
Speaker 2: a switch.
Speaker 8: Yeah, listen. I believe in discipline.
Speaker 12: I don't want I'm not going around telling people to
Speaker 12: beat their kids, but I think if you don't spank
Speaker 12: your kids and discipline them, they turn into some of
Speaker 12: these brats that we got today. I'm not heretings, just
Speaker 12: saying I'm not here for child abuse. But how are
Speaker 12: kids gonna know they're doing something wrong? First of all,
Speaker 12: you can't rationalize with kids. They're dumber than rocks. They
Speaker 12: don't know they doing stuff wrong. But when you spank them,
Speaker 12: that gets the message across because they don't want that.
Speaker 12: And listen, all these foods are gonna be called Listen
Speaker 12: that you can blast me on social media. You guys
Speaker 12: know I don't do social media. I don't ever read
Speaker 12: any comments. I don't care what you think. Y'all can
Speaker 12: kiss my big black ass. I'm gonna say what I
Speaker 12: got to say. Some of y'all gonna like it, and
Speaker 12: some of y'all not, and y'all get over it.
Speaker 3: How do we go from Rick Bettina?
Speaker 8: And I said, what a great guy is? You know?
Speaker 12: You know he has you know what, he has a
Speaker 12: great speech online coaching his team talking about competitive fire.
Speaker 8: I love that speech.
Speaker 12: You all your coaches out there, go get Rick Pattino's speech.
Speaker 12: He's talking about competing. Where's your competitiveness? When things go bad,
Speaker 12: that's when you grind that ain't no time to quit.
Speaker 12: I've always been a big Patino fan. I think he's
Speaker 12: one of the and him and Tom is Oh are
Speaker 12: probably my two favorite coaches because you they gonna get
Speaker 12: on their players. Uh uh.
Speaker 8: They're probably my two favorite coaches. Yes, hell yeah. And
Speaker 8: the best coach I played for.
Speaker 12: Some really good coaches, but probably the best coach I
Speaker 12: played for was Son Smith.
Speaker 8: Was great.
Speaker 12: I love that dude, but probably Billy Cunningham. He didn't
Speaker 12: take let me tell you something. He would leave doctor
Speaker 12: J like if the bus and this one thing like
Speaker 12: and I'm a firm believer that you you're never supposed
Speaker 12: to be late, because when you're late, you don't respect
Speaker 12: other people's time. There have been times when I played
Speaker 12: for the Sixers, the bus leaving at five. I could
Speaker 12: see Doctor J off into the bus at five. We're
Speaker 12: taking off, and that's part of discipline. He like, he say,
Speaker 12: al al Dominico, what time is He says five? You
Speaker 12: can see Doc twenty yards away from the bus. We
Speaker 12: take it off. I want coaches because there's no great
Speaker 12: player who don't want to be coach. That's why Greg Popovich,
Speaker 12: to me, is one of the greatest ever. You talk
Speaker 12: to Tony Parker, Tim Duncan, Genobilie, David Robinson, he got
Speaker 12: on their case all the time. And you know why
Speaker 12: you do that, Dan, because the other players are paying attention.
Speaker 12: They're like you let Tim Duncan and David Robinson, jenobl
Speaker 12: and Parker, who are all Hall of famers, get away
Speaker 12: with it. You don't have you lose the ability to
Speaker 12: yell at the other guys. That's why coaches have to
Speaker 12: hold because there's a responsibility that goes with being a star.
Speaker 12: I can promise you this, Dan, there's not one single
Speaker 12: coach and I and you can call them all or
Speaker 12: player that said to me that you can call that
Speaker 12: I played with, said I was hard to coach, or
Speaker 12: I was a pain ask as a teammate. I guarantee
Speaker 12: you that you can go ask any coach or any player.
Speaker 12: I wanted to be coached. I wanted to be a
Speaker 12: great player. But you go ask anybody in Phoenix. Now
Speaker 12: Houston don't count because I sucked out a player. But
Speaker 12: when I was a great player in Philly and Phoenix.
Speaker 12: You go ask any coach or any player. I was
Speaker 12: easy to play with. I just wanted to win. I
Speaker 12: can go to my grave knowing that.
Speaker 2: Do you wish that the Houston chapter never happened? If
Speaker 2: you could go back and race that, would you?
Speaker 8: Yes?
Speaker 12: I wish the Science had never traded me to Houston.
Speaker 12: That caught me off guard. Probably that probably caught me,
Speaker 12: not the Philadelphia thing. I've told that story. I was
Speaker 12: ready to get the hell out of here. But when
Speaker 12: I got the call from the Rockets. We had just
Speaker 12: lost to them in the playoffs. And I get a
Speaker 12: call from the Rockets at the end of the season,
Speaker 12: and they said, Robert Barr, who's a friend of mine.
Speaker 8: I says Charles. I said, what's up, man?
Speaker 12: He said, if we trade for you, are you gonna
Speaker 12: want a new contract? I said, first of all, they're
Speaker 12: not gonna trade me. I'm the only player we got.
Speaker 12: And I said, this true story, dam I says, they're
Speaker 12: not trade me. He says, Charles, if we trade for you,
Speaker 12: are you gonna want on a new contract?
Speaker 8: I said, dude, They're not trade me. I'm the only
Speaker 8: player we got. I called the Sons.
Speaker 12: I said, you guys thinking about trade me. They're like, no,
Speaker 12: did you hear that rumor? I says, I can breathe
Speaker 12: easy now. Two days later, the Rockets called me back
Speaker 12: and I says Robert, They're not gonna trade me. I'm
Speaker 12: telling you I'm the only player we got. They're like, Charles,
Speaker 12: just answer my question. If we trade for you, are
Speaker 12: you gonna hold out? I says Robert. I've never held
Speaker 12: out because you know, at that time, me and Michael
Speaker 12: were really close, and me and Michael made a pact
Speaker 12: because Scottie Pippen and I think Hardest Brant were making
Speaker 12: more than him for the Bulls, and I think some
Speaker 12: guys in Philly and Phoenix were making more than me
Speaker 12: at the time. And we said we would never complain
Speaker 12: or hold out. And I said, we have a pack
Speaker 12: and none of us, neither one of us ever did,
Speaker 12: and I said it, I would never hold out.
Speaker 8: I have a contract.
Speaker 12: Five days later, I'm packing up going to Houston, and
Speaker 12: it just you know, no. So I wanted to finish
Speaker 12: my career in Phoenix. All I wanted was a chance
Speaker 12: to win. I had four years. Well, we lost to
Speaker 12: the Bulls and then we lost to the Rockets in
Speaker 12: seven games. One of us team was going to win
Speaker 12: the championship. We were the best two teams. We lost
Speaker 12: to them in seven games. Both times. I was happy
Speaker 12: with my career and I wanted to just finish it
Speaker 12: out because I knew my body was hard to give out.
Speaker 12: And uh, but no, I to answer your question, yes,
Speaker 12: I wish the Houston chapter because you know I played
Speaker 12: good my first two years. My last two years I
Speaker 12: sucked as a player, but you know I was done.
Speaker 13: Uh.
Speaker 2: Speaking of done, can we get rid of that basketball
Speaker 2: on the set? The talking basketball I had?
Speaker 8: I did. I just worked there. I don't control anything.
Speaker 2: If that was a TNT, you guys would have thrown
Speaker 2: that thing. You, You and Shaq would have beat it up,
Speaker 2: right you Okay.
Speaker 12: But when you work for other people, you have to
Speaker 12: do what the other people tell you to do. Then
Speaker 12: the found then you should come to the Founder four
Speaker 12: one time. Come on, man, it is the coolest event.

Speaker 12: who loves You the Most. And if you got a daughter,

Speaker 12: and I said, yeah, that's the song for me and
Speaker 12: my daughter at her wedding. And I'm looking forward to
