Speaker 3: and Drew Franklin. A lot going on today. First of all,

21
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 3: in about three minutes, they're gonna have a tornado drill.

22
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 3: I don't like it, but you know they still do it.

23
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 3: So you'll lose this for like thirty seconds and then

24
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 3: you'll be back. The Kentucky women play at eleven o'clock. Yes,

25
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 3: we'll have it here at the bar. We're gonna keep

26
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,639
Speaker 3: doing the show. But at ten forty one you're gonna

27
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 3: need to switch to a different station, so we'll talk

28
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 3: more about that. So be ready to go to a

29
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 3: different station at ten forty one on your streaming WSFC,

30
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 3: but you're with us until then, and then the game,

31
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 3: and then on podcasts we will have the full show.

32
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 3: There is actually a ton to do today, all right.

33
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 3: Mitch Barnhart retires. We find out a lot more about

34
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,639
Speaker 3: his role, which we will talk about. Kentucky Women's start

35
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 3: their tournament today. We have a football player with one

36
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 3: of the great resumes of all time returning to Kentucky.

37
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 3: But I guess we have to start with the game

38
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 3: last night, which was a huge bummer.

39
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 4: Just all the way around.

40
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 3: Cats lose up twelve early, somehow turned a twelve point

41
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 3: lead into a fourteen point deficit, excuse me, a thirteen

42
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 3: point deficit at halftime, and then in the second half

43
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 3: never really able to crawl back and they lose to

44
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,119
Speaker 3: A and M Missouri loss. So had we won, we

45
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 3: could be looking at the three seed in the SEC tournament.

46
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 3: And now as it stands, we have a chance to

47
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 3: get the ten seed in the SEC tournament.

48
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 4: So one loss takes you from potentially three to ten.

49
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 3: Playing on Wednesday is now all not only possibly on

50
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 3: the table, it's probably more likely than not if we

51
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 3: lose to Florida. Just a complete devastating collapse the game.

52
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 3: What are you gonna say? I mean, I guess Deabiate

53
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 3: played pretty well. You know, a way of Aberdeen had

54
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 3: their moments, but in general, just a poor performance.

55
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 5: You're able to complete and utter collapse there at the

56
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 5: end of the first half, and some very critical, in

57
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 5: my opinion, coaching mistakes during that run. I mean, I

58
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 5: don't know how you cannot have Oway, Chandler Aberdeen, two

59
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 5: of those three guys has to be on the floor

60
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 5: at all time.

61
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go further. I don't think you can have

62
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,679
Speaker 3: a moment when Oway and Aberdeen are both out.

63
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 4: I agreed. I agree, you just don't think you can.

64
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 3: They were both out for combined seventy one seconds, and

65
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 3: A and M was up eight to nothing in those

66
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,119
Speaker 3: seventy one seconds.

67
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 4: I just don't.

68
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 3: I mean Chandler, I love Chandler, but Chandler can't handle

69
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 3: the ball. No, And so if you don't have Oway

70
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 3: and Aberdeen one of them in, you're asking for destruction.

71
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 3: And then if you are gonna take them out through,

72
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 3: you cannot have your five worst defenders on the team

73
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 3: on the floor at the same time, which is what

74
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 3: they did. Our four best defenders are in some order, Owah, Aberdeen,

75
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 3: Diabatee and Moreno, all four of them on the bench.

76
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 4: And just look what happened game check.

77
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, they have that start to get us all excited

78
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 6: and then to completely lose it like that, To go

79
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 6: from up twelve to down twelve eight minutes is really

80
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 6: some impressive work. I mean, you gotta tip your cap

81
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 6: and how bad you are at that point.

82
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 4: Twenty seven to three run in the last nine minutes

83
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 4: the first and.

84
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 6: Then you throw in the beginning of second thirty six

85
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 6: to six run a team that has lost six out

86
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 6: of eight games. I mean, what are we doing. But

87
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 6: it wasn't even the substitutions that made me so mad.

88
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 6: Call a damn time out.

89
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 4: That's it.

90
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 6: Bucky Ball was flying. The eight people that were at

91
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,799
Speaker 6: that game found some energy and got behind the team.

92
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 6: That's what they do. They get in the role and

93
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 6: they get moving and they put you away like that.

94
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 6: Just call a damn time out and try to stop it.

95
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 6: You're on the road, shut them up, and you lose.

96
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 3: The time out at halftime like he's not saving it

97
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 3: for the end of the game. You lose one time

98
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 3: out in the first half. You get four for the game,

99
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 3: but you have to use one in the first half,

100
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 3: so if you don't call it, you lose it. And

101
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 3: he didn't call it, And I'll never understand that. I

102
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 3: use this analogy lab night, and because somebody called in

103
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 3: the postgame show and said, well, are these two years

104
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,559
Speaker 3: kind of like the last two years of Cal?

105
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 4: And it was an interesting question because I hadn't really

106
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 4: thought about it like that, And.

107
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 3: I think, oddly Cal and Patino, or Patino, Cal and

108
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 3: Pope have the same stubborn issue. Cal's issue was like

109
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 3: old man, this worked for me. I ain't changing er,

110
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 3: and I think Pope is like a dude, who I

111
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 3: use the analogy of created chat GPT and and you

112
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 3: put something into chat GPT and it comes back and

113
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 3: you know it's wrong, and you go, no, this is

114
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 3: chat GPT. It works, it's the truth, and you're like,

115
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 3: this is same. Matt Jones is the Prime Minister of France,

116
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 3: well he must be. Pope has his analytics and he's like, hey,

117
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 3: this is what works. I don't care what you're seeing.

118
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 3: And I think both of those that stubbornness is hurting me.

119
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 5: There's got to be analytics. It's say you can't have

120
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 5: a mass substitution like this time after time after time

121
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 5: at the time and keep losing the lead. There has

122
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 5: to being likes to say, you can't have these two

123
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 5: of those three guys on the bench at the same time.

124
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 5: There's a smart guy, you know. Even Tom Harden and

125
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 5: Jimmy Dykes said that Mark Pope told them he was

126
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 5: worried about fatigue in this game because they play a

127
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 5: lot more backcourt guys twenty minutes a game.

128
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 4: We play our backcord guys thirty minutes a game. What

129
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 4: did he say after the game.

130
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 6: He said, our guys were struggling with the Saturday to

131
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 6: Tuesday games.

132
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 4: Come on, they've had that.

133
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 3: He didn't say that turn around, he said the Saturday, well,

134
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 3: you know, in the Insane tournament, it's two days, not three.

135
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 4: The whole, the whole doesn't true. Stop.

136
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 3: He didn't say I'll get the exactly well, the only

137
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 3: team that does that, need you line to listen. That

138
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 3: that that hurt me almost more than giving up a

139
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 3: thirty six to six runs.

140
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 4: I mean, he didn't say.

141
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 5: The practices are cutting down in like an hour. This

142
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 5: time of year, there shouldn't be no fatigue whatsoever. You

143
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 5: need to keep your best guys on the floor at

144
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 5: all times when you're here in March.

145
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 3: And it doesn't matter if you're not fatigued. If you're

146
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 3: down nineteen, you can be the healthiest down nineteen person

147
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 3: in the world. That's not gonna matter. I mean, I

148
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 3: don't know.

149
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 4: I know this.

150
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 3: What they do in those scenarios does not work. And

151
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 3: you know what was funniest when he went through his

152
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 3: first set of substitutions, I thought to myself, Mark has

153
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 3: finally got because when they got to the first substitutions

154
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 3: I watched they brought jasper in and they took a

155
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 3: way out and it was Jasper and Aberdeen and then

156
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 3: they go, okay, we need to get Noah in. So

157
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 3: they brought a way back and then took it like

158
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 3: they were taking one of them at a time, and

159
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 3: I was like, look, he's got and Jasper was playing

160
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 3: well right because he didn't have to bring the ball

161
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 3: up every time Aberdeen was, and then I don't know,

162
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, he was like, you know what,

163
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 3: let's just see what happens if I take all my

164
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 3: good players out. That'll work. And then I mean, this

165
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 3: isn't on him. But I got that not in the

166
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 3: pit of my stomach when we were up twelve and

167
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 3: Oa and Noah had that wide open three and he

168
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 3: missed it, and they came down and immediately hit a three,

169
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 3: and I thought, that's gonna be a moment we remember.

170
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 3: Could have been fifteen cut to nine like that. I

171
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 3: was like, and then it was on after that.

172
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 5: You run that time too. I think Brandon Garrison took

173
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 5: a three.

174
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 4: Ah, the Brandon Garrison heat check three.

175
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 3: And he was playing so good, he had been so good,

176
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:33,439
Speaker 3: and then he took that and I was okay.

177
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 4: I was like, all right, one heat check three.

178
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 3: I'm okay with that, and then he throws it away

179
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 3: on the Why is he take the ball out? Can

180
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:42,719
Speaker 3: you help me understand why he takes the ball out

181
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 3: on the press because the guy that takes the ball

182
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 3: out may have to help you bring it up, So

183
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 3: why do you want him to take it out?

184
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 5: Made a bad turnover taking it out at one time.

185
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 6: But the guy with respectfully probably the lowest basketball IQ

186
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 6: on the team, who we kind of losing, spurts right.

187
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 6: I didn't need a ton of respot'sibility, I will say

188
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 6: in the beginning though, he and Jasper looked like an

189
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 6: NBA jam two man combo. The bench held their own

190
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 6: uh in the first way.

191
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 3: But they but when Jasper and Garrison were in, they

192
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 3: were playing with three starters. And I kind of count

193
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 3: the Abte a little bit as a starter at least

194
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 3: when he's but but when Jasper came in, he had

195
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 3: two other guards with him.

196
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 4: But then when you give him no chance, it's just

197
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 4: not the same.

198
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,079
Speaker 6: And it's just Abote is a starter because Yellovich is

199
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 6: he not. I understand the Abote is playing great. I

200
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 6: know it's hard to slot him in the second half,

201
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 6: but it's like he starts and then just sits down

202
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 6: and never comes back in again.

203
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 4: I don't know what.

204
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 5: Also, you mentioned it the Anletics say you get to

205
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 5: put out your four worst defenders on the team on

206
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 5: the floor at the same time. That can't be a

207
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 5: good idea. And he did it. All our four worst

208
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 5: defenders were out.

209
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 6: There, and we were watching exactly what they do. They

210
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 6: get you kind of in some chaos where you're turning

211
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 6: it over. They're playing fast, and they just launched those

212
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,199
Speaker 6: threes and once you could see that bucket ball get

213
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 6: going and that was their big run. And that's why

214
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 6: I don't even care who's on the floor. Call a

215
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 6: time out and regroup and get out of that mess,

216
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 6: because that's where they want you to play it well.

217
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 3: And then the game was just kind of I mean,

218
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 3: the second half it was basically an even game, back

219
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 3: and forth.

220
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 4: They'd get up, we cut it a whoa.

221
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 5: It's a massive storm happening right now.

222
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 4: Good night.

223
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 6: Was that expected?

224
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 4: That's that's what the tornado drill was for. Yeah, that

225
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 4: hit all that hit immediately, you know.

226
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 3: We cut it a couple of times to nine, and

227
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 3: it felt like, okay, if we could get a stop

228
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 3: here in one time score and then we just weren't.

229
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 4: We just weren't able to do that.

230
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 5: It's a missed opportunity because, like you said, you had

231
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 5: it with Missouri losing last night. Really you had a

232
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 5: chance to set yourself up for next week in Nashville instead,

233
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 5: and when we're staring at right the face of playing

234
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 5: again on the first down Wednesday, you had nobody to

235
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 5: blame with yourself last night. That was a coaching mistake.

236
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 5: We got out coached, we got out played, we got

237
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 5: out hustled. All the outs we had it last night.

238
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 6: And James, they had these long straight they were one

239
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 6: of twelve in the half. I mean Vandy Saturday, we

240
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 6: had a full game that was awesome. But it seems

241
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 6: like most of the time we have these long stretches

242
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 6: where they just can't get a bucket and that's what

243
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 6: keeps them from getting over the hump in the second

244
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 6: half as the gap got too big.

245
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 3: What do you think at the end of the day,

246
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 3: we got one game left in the regular season. We're

247
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 3: just inconsistent, right, That's just what this team is gonna be.

248
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 3: We're gonna be inconsistent, and it is what it is right.

249
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 4: Yeah.

250
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 5: Tom called them the unpredictables a couple times last night,

251
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 5: and they are. This has been like a roller coaster season.

252
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 5: Coming off maybe their best game they've played in the

253
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 5: entire SEC season against Vanderbilt and come back and throw

254
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 5: in that turd last night was awful.

255
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, Florida ahead. I mean at one point they were

256
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 6: up about like fifty last night. It's looking like a

257
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 6: regular season under twenty wins, and with the inconsistency. I

258
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 6: know we all have hope they can stream together a run,

259
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 6: but I just can't see them playing consecutive games that,

260
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 6: you know, getting enough wins, especially starting on Wednesday in Nashville.

261
00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I mean, we're not gonna win five straight games.

262
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 5: Too much of a turnaround.

263
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 4: I got that exact quote if you wanted here, Yeah,

264
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 4: read me the Saturday Tuesday.

265
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 2: These Saturday Tuesday turnarounds have been a little bit challenging

266
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 2: for us with our limited roster size right now.

267
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 3: I can't listen to that's a terrible excuse. Yeah, I

268
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,959
Speaker 3: mean that is a terrible excuse. You got nine guys.

269
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 3: First of all, the roster is not that limited. How

270
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 3: many teams are out there playing more than nine guys consistently.

271
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,959
Speaker 3: How many guys did A and M play? Just so

272
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 3: I can look.

273
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 6: And see, Well, they have the deepest bench in the country,

274
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 6: so they played.

275
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 4: How many do they play?

276
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm sure they do have the deepest bench,

277
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 3: but how many do they play?

278
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 4: Do they play ten? And we played nine?

279
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 6: Probably nine or ten?

280
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, so they go one deeper than us. They played, No,

281
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 3: they only played nine guys too. They played nine guys.

282
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 3: We played nine guys.

283
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 5: They had to do a Saturday Tuesday turnaround just like

284
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 5: we did.

285
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 3: The only difference is we played our back court probably

286
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 3: five to six minutes more than they played. But they

287
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 3: are bad court, and they played a couple of their

288
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 3: bench guys a little bit more than we played hard.

289
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 4: That's it. Well.

290
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 6: Also, people were wearing canvas converse and belts in basketball

291
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 6: doing Saturday Tuesday turnarounds. That's the sport that's not changing.

292
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,079
Speaker 6: Canvas converse they were also, I was trying to look

293
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 6: it up on the fly. I don't even know if

294
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 6: Oway is top ten in minutes in the SEC they're

295
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,079
Speaker 6: talking about exhausted. They were acuff plays three more minutes

296
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 6: a game than him. Florida's how Aberdeen got two fouls

297
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 6: and they took him out. I also was like, you

298
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 6: gotta put him back in. I don't care if he

299
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 6: has two fouls, what's good? I mean how many? This

300
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 6: was something. This is something a lot of coaches do.

301
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 6: They keep their guy out with two fouls. How many

302
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 6: foules did Aberdeen finish with three?

303
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 4: You know what? He could have taken another one? Yep.

304
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 3: I mean I generally speaking, I think it's good to

305
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 3: take your guy out with two fouls, but not if

306
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,319
Speaker 3: the game is getting away from you, especially if the

307
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 3: game is getting away from you because you don't.

308
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 6: Have a point guard and then you're playing him in

309
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 6: the second half and he's down by fifteen.

310
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, Aberdeen, I've said this. He he's the key to

311
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 4: the game.

312
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 3: Without him, we just look atrocious most of the time.

313
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 5: Like you said, though, when Jasper did come in for

314
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 5: him and him that you know, he did gave you

315
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 5: some good minutes, but then he didn't surround Jasper with

316
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 5: other guys on the floor that could help him.

317
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 3: And also Chandler only took five shots, and a couple

318
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 3: of them were like I was, that's surprises.

319
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 5: They did a really good job locking him up. And

320
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 5: keeping him out of the offense. But he's got to

321
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 5: find a way to get shots.

322
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 4: He has to.

323
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, he was a non factor hit that first one,

324
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 5: and he was a non factor pretty much the rest

325
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:28,520

368
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,280

369
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 3: Dave Baker, Uh, what was open and good to us

370
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 3: early early on when a lot of people were not.

371
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 3: And uh when when Billy When when Tubby left and

372
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 3: Billy Gillespie was hired, he put our blog on the

373
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 3: TV screen as as sort of a He literally put

374
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 3: a video of our blog on the TV screen because

375
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 3: we were reporting something about Billy Gillespie.

376
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,639

381
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 3: seven years, that's probably I would think that's longer than anybody, right,

382
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 3: I mean, only only Kwood and Ralph Packer could be

383
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 3: in that vicinity.

384
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,199

Speaker 3: What person writes on the text machine sheen Matt. I

400
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 3: like Mark Pope, but I just don't think he is

401
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 3: a great coach. Your caller last night hit it. He

402
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 3: might be good, he might even be successful, but we

403
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 3: need great and I don't see from him.

404
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 4: Great.

405
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 3: Great coaches don't lose by the amounts we sometimes lose to.

406
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 5: Last night, maybe in the first time, I really got

407
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 5: mad at him. Like Drew mentioned, you didn't call time

408
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:37,360
Speaker 5: out during that run, You had some erroneous substitution patterns,

409
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 5: didn't make the do you know, get find a way

410
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 5: to get Chandler of the basketball, get him some shots.

411
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 5: Just a couple of things happened last night, like, man,

412
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 5: what are you doing?

413
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 4: You got mad? Yeah?

414
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 6: He almost injured Trent.

415
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 4: Noah, he did oh Man took.

416
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 5: Out Trent Noah.

417
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 4: Trent was five trimp.

418
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 3: Finally hits a shot non straight mar Is Trent Noah

419
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 3: month February may not be, but March is and then

420
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 3: he gets hurt on I mean, what is that not

421
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 3: a summary of the season, Tret Noah hits two threes

422
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 3: and he turns his ankle on our own coach.

423
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,360
Speaker 6: I did like, uh, it seemed to be pretty over.

424
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 6: I think most of us thought the whole second half

425
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 6: it was over. But Trent there for about a minute.

426
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 6: Trent didn't hear no beell. He had nine points in

427
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 6: a hurry through that foul. If he had gotten that

428
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 6: four point play to cut it to seven or whatever

429
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 6: it would have been, I might have started thinking some thoughts.

430
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 6: But a nice little spurt from him, only to have

431
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 6: his breakout moment.

432
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 4: People he's all right.

433
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 6: They didn't say anything, but we had Adam Stratton, the

434
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 6: earth KOSR and said he saw Trent walking around the

435
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 6: arena after it didn't look like he had any problem.

436
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 4: You do have to give a shout out to Ramadan Mo.

437
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 3: Yes, you know, they used to say in Alabama when

438
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 3: Ramadan hits Mo Diabat takes it up a notch.

439
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 4: And he's kind of done that here, hasn't he.

440
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's sitting over there eating Mandarian oranges during the gamenges.

441
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:58,479
Speaker 3: Mandarien, you are kind of adding syllables to things.

442
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 4: Now, well, Mandarin makes it more special. Mandarian come up

443
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 4: with me.

444
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 5: I saw the word in my head. It kind of

445
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 5: looks like Mandarien Mandarin.

446
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 4: Okay, uh, that's but it helped him.

447
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 6: He was calling him fruit cup Mo because the moment,

448
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 6: the moment he got a little fruit in him on

449
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 6: the bench, he came in and was unstoppable, like fruit

450
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 6: cup Mo.

451
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 4: I have to tell you, I got some pride.

452
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 3: On my drive here from Louisville this morning, I was

453
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 3: listening to Bill Simmons podcast. They were talking about best

454
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 3: nicknames in basketball and they brought up cream abdul Jabar

455
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 3: nice and I kept waiting for him to say my

456
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 3: name and he didn't. But nevertheless he was like, cream

457
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 3: Abdul Jabbar is a great name. And I was like, yes,

458
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 3: but you knew he was talking to you. You felt

459
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 3: it well. I mean he didn't mention my name. That's okay,

460
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 3: but you had that connection.

461
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,120
Speaker 4: He didn't have to. It's still it's still the it's

462
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 4: still the connection. But yes, that. It's crazy to me.

463
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 3: You know, he doesn't get to eat or drink during

464
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 3: the day, so he like they took him out so

465
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 3: he could have a meal.

466
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,120
Speaker 4: As son comes down.

467
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 3: On the bench, I do wonder if you get into

468
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 3: the SEC and NCAA tournament if you can't drink water

469
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 3: during the game.

470
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 4: I mean, I guess he's already done that. He did

471
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 4: that in the Vandy game.

472
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 5: So he've been waking up a lot of what a

473
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 5: five thirty in the morning to get some breakfast, get

474
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 5: something in him, and then nothing until the sun goes down.

475
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 4: So it's gonna be tough. It is. Who's up? But

476
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,959
Speaker 4: he's playing well during played well, who's up? Fir shit? Andy? Andy?

477
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 4: Go ahead? Andy? Hey, what's up? Guys?

478
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 7: Cut a couple of questions. If we lose to Florida Saturday,

479
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 7: what would need to happen for us to play on Thursday?

480
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 3: So if we lose to Florida, I think the best

481
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 3: we can do, absent a crazy set of circumstances is

482
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 3: the eight seed. There are a crazy set of circumstances

483
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 3: where I think we can get to the seven. But

484
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 3: if we lose to Florida, so Texas we need to

485
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 3: lose to Arkansas tonight, and then we would need Vandy

486
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:55,919
Speaker 3: to lose Vandy and Texas to lose next week, and

487
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 3: Fanny plays Tennessee, so they could lose in Texas, I

488
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 3: think plays Oklahoma, so we need Texas to either lose

489
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 3: to Arkansas or Oklahoma. So basically we need a Texas

490
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 3: loss and Bandy to lose to Tennessee.

491
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 7: All right, And I'm just going to touch on which

492
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 7: he is telling about just a minute ago, about Pope.

493
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,199
Speaker 7: I agree that Pope can be good and successful, but

494
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,640
Speaker 7: probably not great. But my question is how many coaches

495
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 7: are out there right now that could be great at coaching?

496
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I.

497
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 3: Think there's probably a lot of people that could be great.

498
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 3: I'll give you an example, and I appreciate the call.

499
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 3: Take Todd Golden, right, I mean, how many people knew

500
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,679
Speaker 3: who Todd Golden was before he got to Florida And

501
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 3: you had to be a big time college basketball fan

502
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 3: and follow San Francisco, And then he goes there and

503
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 3: he has a lot of success. So there's a lot

504
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,239
Speaker 3: of guys like that. We'll just have to see. We'll

505
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 3: take a break, be right back. Remember, you're gonna have

541
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 3: before we go back to phones, let's talk for a

542
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 3: thing about Mitch Barnheart. We mentioned yesterday that he retired.

543
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 3: We now know a little bit more about what he's

544
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 3: gonna do. I will tell you I have his role

545
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 3: will be going forward, head of the read me the

546
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 3: job title again, Drew, because we talked about in the

547
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 3: pregame show.

548
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:46,719
Speaker 4: It's an amazing job title.

549
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 6: He is the Executive in residence for the UK Sport

550
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:55,679
Speaker 6: and Workforce Initiative.

551
00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,919
Speaker 3: Lots of words, executive in residence. As we said on

552
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 3: the pregame show that usually in residence means temporary, So

553
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 3: he is an executive that will be in residence.

554
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 6: He's not working remote. Okay, better not for a million.

555
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's again nine hundred and fifty thousand dollars a

556
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 3: year for these sports.

557
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 6: The UK Sport and Workforce Initiative, we'll call it UK

558
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 6: s W I uck sweet ux sweet.

559
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 4: So a lot of people were worried.

560
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 3: We talked about on the pregame show essentially are we

561
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 3: keeping him around to have his eyes overlooking the new ad?

562
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 3: And some people were saying, does this mean they're hiring

563
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 3: from within and basically Mitch will still control everything. I

564
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 3: called the UK spokesman yesterday, Jay Blinton, or well excuse me.

565
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 3: I texted with him and I asked him that question

566
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 3: and he said to me and I Jay has always

567
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 3: been wonderful in the last He's been doing this since

568
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 3: I've been doing it, So if he says it, I

569
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 3: believe it. He said that this new new initiative is

570
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 3: not with athletics. It is to create a organization on

571
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 3: campus that helps students get careers in the sports workforce Okay,

572
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 3: he basically is trying to create a way to place

573
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 3: UK athletes in the world of sports and in the

574
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,199
Speaker 3: fields of nil whatever.

575
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:24,959
Speaker 4: That means.

576
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 3: He will not be working in athletics and his office

577
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,120
Speaker 3: will not even be in the UK Athletics building. He's

578
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 3: basically moving across campus to the academic side.

579
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:36,479
Speaker 4: Okay.

580
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 3: So even though I think Mitch best ad maybe in

581
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 3: the history of UK and has done great things, I

582
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 3: believe when it's over, it's over.

583
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 4: You don't you don't linger.

584
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 3: So good thing is this means the new ad will

585
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 3: be in charge whoever it is now. You could argue

586
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 3: does that job of essentially workforce career development? Is that

587
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 3: a million dollar dollar a year job.

588
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 4: With a country club membership.

589
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 3: And all that, Uh, you know, I don't know, but

590
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 3: I guess, as Drew says, that's not my money. So

591
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 3: and that sounds like it's not UK athletics money. Sounds

592
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 3: like it is UK the you know, academic money. So

593
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 3: but I am glad Ryan that that means it's not

594
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 3: like he's not going to be kind of athletic director

595
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 3: senior athletic director.

596
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 5: After hearing what you just said, it makes me feel

597
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 5: a little better about it because, yes, when we talked

598
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 5: about it yesterday, if if he was in the same

599
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,959
Speaker 5: building and if somebody that worked under you and you're

600
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 5: right down the hallway, I would think he had a

601
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,880
Speaker 5: hard time keeping his nose out of the business. You're

602
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,439
Speaker 5: bringing a new somebody think he's O you're looking over

603
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 5: your shoulder. What's he thinking about me? So the fact

604
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,400
Speaker 5: that Mitch's position is not even in the building has

605
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 5: nothing new athletics makes me feel a little bit better

606
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 5: about what they're trying to develop.

607
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 4: It's a million dollar career development.

608
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 6: Placer gotta be a lot of careers. Great to see

609
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 6: his numbers. Congratulations to the students of the Universal Many.

610
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 4: Everybody's gonna be getting jobs.

611
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, I still think it's outrageous. It is a little

612
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 6: better that it's not coming out of the UK Athletics spot,

613
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 6: because I think it would be crazy to ask your fans,

614
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,439
Speaker 6: your blue collar people, for money. We need every penny

615
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 6: we can get to make UK good and then a

616
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 6: million of that is going to Hill.

617
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 4: It's still a crazy amount of money. It's still crazy, but.

618
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 6: Athletics is a little.

619
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:27,919
Speaker 4: UK especially on the heels of this.

620
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 3: Of the contracts they gave to stoops and to col

621
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 3: and the bile and all like it's it's a.

622
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 4: Crazy amount of money. UK, in my.

623
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 3: Opinion, completely screwed up this announcement, Like why didn't they.

624
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 4: Say that, you know, nobody knew that.

625
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 3: I had to ask and I don't think people still

626
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 3: know unless you're listening to me. Should have had a

627
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 3: press conference, did not have a press conference, should have

628
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 3: had somebody answering questions, did not have somebody answering questions.

629
00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 3: Continues what we've talked about, which is I think think

630
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 3: this the pr has been so bad for so long

631
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 3: that you know your ad of twenty four years is retiring,

632
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 3: and you don't even give the man a press conference.

633
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 4: Like you don't even give the man a.

634
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 3: Chance, I mean to a be asked questions about his role,

635
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 3: but also to be celebrated. It's like you're giving him

636
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 3: a He didn't even get a cake lunch at the

637
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 3: end of a Friday.

638
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 6: We got a nine to fifty a year. That's why

639
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 6: they don't have a press conference.

640
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 3: But that's look skeptical to people. I mean, the contracts

641
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 3: at eight hundred thousand a year. They just raised it

642
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 3: to nine to fifty and added more years and yeah.

643
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 4: So, and what is the UK sport?

644
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 6: I know they there was cre mention of that before you,

645
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 6: I mean, but you have to explain these things.

646
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 3: I agree, they don't even tell you what it is

647
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 3: if Jay doesn't answer my question. So again, congrats to Mitch.

648
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 3: I think he's been a great ad. Once again, k

649
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 3: just I don't understand how they handle this, but that's

650
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 3: the way it is. So then now the question is

651
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 3: who will be the next day d And you need

652
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 3: to turn to WSFC because we will talk about that

653
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 3: after this and take your calls. And we're fifteen minutes

654
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 3: away from the UK women's team. We will take a

655
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 3: break and be right back. This is KSR.

656
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 4: We'k go back, take you Sports Radio. Ryan gave.

657
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 3: First of all, welcome to everyone at WSFC. I'm assuming

658
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 3: we are breaking that Summerset station streaming record yep. So

659
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 3: and for those of you listening on podcast, hello again.

660
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 3: I hope you're enjoying your afternoon. Now, you told me

661
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 3: something that I could not believe. Ryan, what happened when C. M.

662
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 3: Newton retired.

663
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 5: When seem Newton retired, UK bought him a beach house

664
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 5: in the Bahamas because he wanted to retire there and

665
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 5: fish down there.

666
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 3: That's crazy to me that they bought him a beach

667
00:30:58,080 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 3: house in the Bahamas.

668
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 5: Either it would while back in the late nineties three

669
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 5: four hundred thousand or something, they bought him a beach

670
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 5: house for him to gun there and fish in the Bahamas.

671
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:12,479
Speaker 4: If there was a KSR, then I would have been like,

672
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 4: are you kidding me?

673
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 3: I mean what, I don't understand the idea of buying

674
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 3: people things.

675
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 4: In retire Get him a watch? Right? Whatever happened to that?

676
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 6: I thought they were paid for the job while they

677
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 6: were there.

678
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 4: Yes, you know it was. Will always love people, always love.

679
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 3: To complain when people don't get things that they work

680
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 3: for and I get that, But giving things for people

681
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 3: when they're not even working, and if he's really doing

682
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 3: career development, as one of the people here watching the

683
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 3: show said, what did the other career development officers at

684
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 3: Kentucky make?

685
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 6: I would want to be negotiating if I were a

686
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 6: career developing In fact, guys, I've been thinking, and I

687
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 6: think I'm starting the KSR sport. It's been great working

688
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 6: with you. I'll be over here on this side of

689
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 6: the room making more money.

690
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 4: I like it. You're gonna have to go sit at jalapenos.

691
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 4: So there's a separation.

692
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 3: All right, Well, let's talk about who's next, Okay, because

693
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 3: I in terms of ad I think there's basically three

694
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 3: sets of candidates.

695
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 4: So let's start with who's going to make the decision.

696
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 3: I think the reality is this decision will be made

697
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 3: by a handful of people. Eli Cappaluno says he's going

698
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 3: to go on a listening tour. That reminds me of

699
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 3: something Bill Clinton would say. I feel like that's what

700
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 3: politicians say. I'm going on a listening tour. I went

701
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 3: on a listening tour when I was thinking about running

702
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 3: for Senate, and it was mostly me talking and there

703
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 3: wasn't a lot of listening. So I don't know, I

704
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 3: don't know what that means. But but Mitch is going

705
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 3: to be here till June thirtieth, so there's not a

706
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 3: rush to go and hire someone. I think the people

707
00:32:56,800 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 3: that are going to make this decision basically is the

708
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 3: guy that will probably be the next president of the

709
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 3: UK is Eric Munday. I think if you talk to

710
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 3: anyone around the university, they'll tell you that they think

711
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 3: he will be the person that will have the biggest

712
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 3: impact on the decision. There will certainly be some donors

713
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 3: handful that will have some impact.

714
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 4: And then you have the board of trustees.

715
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 3: I made a lot of calls yesterday and I genuinely

716
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 3: don't think they have a decision. I think people who

717
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 3: think they already know who it is, I actually don't

718
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 3: think that's true. There are three different ways they can go.

719
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 3: Way one is they will hire some from within UK.

720
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 3: If that happens, there are essentially two candidates. Mark Hill

721
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 3: is basically being Mitch Parhart's number two for a number

722
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 3: of years. He's taken a very large role over the

723
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 3: years with football and he is you know, I think

724
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 3: the person that people have thought for why would be

725
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 3: the most likely candidate. Rachel Baker is kind of right

726
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 3: there with him in terms of taking no A role.

727
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 4: She has a lot of.

728
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 3: Experience, worked for the has worked for other schools, has

729
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 3: been in out college athletics a lot. I always hear

730
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 3: positive things about her. She is, as people know, married

731
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,800
Speaker 3: to someone at JMI, which I think will be something

732
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 3: that people will will will bring up in that process.

733
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 4: So that's group one.

734
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 3: Group two would be people I think that have been

735
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 3: at Kentucky and are now somewhere else, and I think

736
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 3: the head person in there would be Dwayne Peeve. I

737
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:34,359
Speaker 3: think Dwayne Peevey connected to UK's golden age of basketball.

738
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:38,320
Speaker 3: He's the AD at De Paul, probably the best person

739
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 3: that has been at Kentucky with donors. So I think

740
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 3: when you're saying what is it that people would really

741
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 3: like about Dwayne, it would be connection to donors. Probably

742
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 3: the best person at getting donors since I've been doing

743
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 3: this and basketball he's at DePaul. The negative to him

744
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 3: for people would be he's never been in a football school, right,

745
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 3: He's never run football, so that, but I think he's

746
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:06,879
Speaker 3: the most likely person with Kentucky connection that somewhere else.

747
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 3: You know, you got Rob Mullens in Oregon. The AD

748
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:11,879
Speaker 3: at Wichita State is from here, is from there. I

749
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 3: would be surprised if Rob Mullens would come. I think

750
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 3: Scott Strickling at Florida is someone that they would at

751
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 3: least inquire about. He was the SI D here for

752
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 3: a while. I like Scott, So that's your outside of UK,

753
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,240
Speaker 3: but connections here and then number three would be somebody

754
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 3: we don't even know where. They just say we're going

755
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,720
Speaker 3: off the board and looking for whoever we think.

756
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 4: Is the best.

757
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 3: I would be surprised if you were to ask me

758
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:45,320
Speaker 3: in likelihood of it happening. I'm gonna make my bet

759
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 3: that they get somebody in that number two category. I

760
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 3: think they get somebody who has a connection here and

761
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 3: is somewhere else else. I think any I think Dwayne

762
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 3: Scott or Rob Mullens could all be great. I don't

763
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 3: don't really know the guy that's at Wichita State, but

764
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 3: that would be my guess. But I also could be

765
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 3: talked into going off the board to somebody new.

766
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 4: What do you guys think.

767
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 5: On your first group? Mark Hill and Rachel Baker both

768
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 5: probably very actively involved with recent coaching hires. I mean

769
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 5: just hired Mark Pope and Kenny Brooks two years.

770
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 3: Mark Hill definitely involved a lot in the will Stein

771
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 3: Higher YEP, for sure.

772
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 6: That is a Utah guy. Be shocked if he was.

773
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 4: Involved in the Pope A so. I think that's probably

774
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,839
Speaker 4: probably right. Yeah, No, that's a good big Utah. That's

775
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 4: a good so.

776
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 5: I think that's a positive when they are involved with

777
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 5: the hiring of your most prominent coaches. Negative, maybe he

778
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,240
Speaker 5: might be neither one I've ever been in an athletic

779
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 5: directord before being you know, this is not really an

780
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 5: entry level position.

781
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:42,919
Speaker 4: Yeah.

782
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 3: I saw some people criticizing Twain for not having run football. Well,

783
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:48,839
Speaker 3: some of these people have never been a d's and

784
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 3: this is not. And then this is an entry and

785
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 3: this is an entry level job to be the AD.

786
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,359
Speaker 3: So you're right, that's true. I forgot about You're right

787
00:36:56,400 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 3: about Mark Hill and Mark Pope because Mark Hill is

788
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,839
Speaker 3: and I do think he was heavily involved in that higher.

789
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 6: I thought that the moment Pope was announced, I even

790
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 6: had my antennas up, like what does this mean for

791
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,439
Speaker 6: the future of the athletic department? How involved was Mark Hill?

792
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 6: I would call some of that your second group and

793
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:17,320
Speaker 6: at least get no's from him. You got Mulligan, Mulligan's

794
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 6: mullins at Oregon with all the Nike, you just got

795
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 6: will Stein and some Oregon coaches that should be smooth there.

796
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 6: He'd probably say no, but I think at least gotta

797
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 6: call him. Even at Alabama, Greg Byrne. I know it's Alabama,

798
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 6: but he kinda is not on a hot seat. But

799
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 6: he hired Kaylen Debora without really looking around.

800
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 3: Well, he and Scott Strickland aren't beloved by their fan bases.

801
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 6: If Alabama football doesn't get back to what it was,

802
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 6: he might be looking for a reason to get out

803
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:46,320
Speaker 6: of Tuscaloosis. So he and Strickland and Mullins, those three,

804
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,319
Speaker 6: even though they are better situations right now, at least

805
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 6: make them tell me, no, what about Dwayne. Of course,

806
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:54,360
Speaker 6: we all love Dwayne. I'd love to have Dwayne personally.

807
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,240
Speaker 6: That'd be great for us because we know him so well.

808
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 6: But also I thought he was great here with UK,

809
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 6: especially on the basketball end where it's not a big

810
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 6: secret we're not exactly killing it in basketball in the

811
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 6: last several years, So I think he'd be good for

812
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 6: that and for us personally. And then on our pregame show.

813
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 6: I don't know how serious of the candidate he'd be,

814
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 6: but I would entertain Martin Newton with the CNA connection,

815
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:15,240
Speaker 6: I agree with that Nike.

816
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 3: Connection, and also connected to the university was here and

817
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 3: it's Sanford, you know, not a powerhouse. But he hired Bucky,

818
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 3: who we just lost to last night, from a high

819
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 3: school to coach their basketball program and has some success

820
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 3: in other sports there, and all those people that we

821
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 3: talked about that if one of the things Mitch has

822
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 3: done a really good job is producing ads at other schools,

823
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:40,839
Speaker 3: all those people, to me are pretty good candidates.

824
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 4: That's where I would go.

825
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 3: I would go to one of those people knows the

826
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 3: university but has been out on their own and has

827
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:51,320
Speaker 3: enough separation to where they're kind of not under Mitch's thumb.

828
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 4: That's what I would do.

829
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 3: I think if they're going to keep Mark Hill or

830
00:38:56,480 --> 00:39:00,320
Speaker 3: Rachel Baker, they've got to sell those people to the

831
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 3: fan base, because the fan base does not know who

832
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 3: those people are, and so that's an issue. I do

833
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 3: like that they're gonna take time. I think whatever they

834
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 3: do Ryan, they have to interview a lot of people.

835
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 3: They cannot let people think this was predetermined, like they

836
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 3: have to actually do the due diligence.

837
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 5: You know, when Mitch was ad, he always had a

838
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 5: list in his back pocket in case he had to

839
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 5: make a move on a coaching change really quick. Do

840
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 5: you think Uk Capeluto and Monday kind of knew this

841
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 5: was coming And I've already started the process of venting

842
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:38,359
Speaker 5: with some candidates vetting, vetting.

843
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 4: He's venting.

844
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:41,399
Speaker 6: They're really complaining about everything else.

845
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 3: I think I have in my mind what I think

846
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 3: the most likely order of likelihood of doing it is.

847
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:53,959
Speaker 3: But I will say to you, I'd probably have four

848
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 3: people right next to each other. I will be surprised

849
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 3: if they go off the board. I'll be surprised if

850
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 3: they hire someone that has no connection to this school.

851
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 3: I'm not necessarily against it, but I'll be surprised just

852
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:11,800
Speaker 3: with how this school does things. I think the most

853
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 3: likely scenario is if you made me bad. I think

854
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 3: they go, you're pev, you're strickling, You're that group. Then

855
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 3: my second most likely would be the people that are here.

856
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 3: And then I think the third most likely is they

857
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 3: just go elsewhere. But I will say to you, nothing's

858
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 3: gonna shock me because I don't think there is a yes,

859
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 3: that's who it's gonna be.

860
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 6: And it's a weird time. I mean, we all have

861
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 6: a pretty good idea of who will be next. But

862
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,720
Speaker 6: Eli is about to turn seventy seven and he's involved

863
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:48,360
Speaker 6: in this. Yeah, I mean, no matter what, Eli is

864
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 6: not gonna have a long career with whoever's being hired, right.

865
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 3: Who do you think unifies all the various people in

866
00:40:55,400 --> 00:41:00,919
Speaker 3: play donors fans admit who is the person that does

867
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 3: what I do think needs to happen, which is bring

868
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:04,840
Speaker 3: UK athletics all together.

869
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 4: Who's the person most likely to do that.

870
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:09,319
Speaker 5: I think it's Dwayne Pevee. I think he was doing

871
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:11,760
Speaker 5: that when he was here. Kind of has the bridge

872
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 5: between Cal and Mitch back then the Boosters, Big Boosters

873
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 5: and UK. He was there kind of negotiated with all that.

874
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 5: I think it's PEV.

875
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 3: I think you're probably right. I think PV. I think

876
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 3: Scott Strickland could do that.

877
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 6: Fans are most familiar with PV just because he was

878
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 6: so out in front when he was here.

879
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, do you worry about him not having done football?

880
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 6: Not that much because I mean, like I said, if

881
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 6: you promote someone, they haven't done the job at all.

882
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 6: I mean, he did just as much football when he

883
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 6: was here as the associator or whatever they named him.

884
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 6: I mean it's a hit compared to the some of

885
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 6: the other candidates, but I don't think it's like a

886
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 6: full stop no because he didn't have football program.

887
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:51,919
Speaker 4: Well, we got some time to figure it out.

888
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:55,799
Speaker 3: They got to get it right, and I think the

889
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,280
Speaker 3: fan base will be following this more.

890
00:41:58,120 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 4: Than you know.

891
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 3: What's interesting is this is the only ad we've had

892
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 3: since I've been doing this, which is crazy, I mean

893
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 3: twenty one years.

894
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:09,840
Speaker 4: This is the only ad I've ever done a show about.

895
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:11,359
Speaker 6: So I was in high school when he was hired.

896
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:12,360
Speaker 4: I mean that's wild.

897
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 3: All right, Well, take a break, come back, I remember two,

898
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:15,879
Speaker 3: do some fun stuff, and then take your calls.

899
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 4: Kaos hard
