Speaker 2: Let's give this you're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

8
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 3: Maybe it's fitting here on steg Gottson Company that yesterday

9
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 3: at this time, I was like zerover four for the

10
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 3: start of the bracket, like true truly was. It was

11
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 3: winless to start, and the first game of the day

12
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 3: provided us with the drama with Santa Clara in Kentucky

13
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 3: in Kentucky's buzzer beater after Santa Clara's almost buzzer beater.

14
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 3: I was on Santa Clara in that game. But Virginia,

15
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 3: as you heard Isaac say, surviving thanks so many of us,

16
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 3: whether you're in survivor pools. I think Virginia was a

17
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 3: was a solid pick today in at three to six

18
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,319
Speaker 3: range that you're looking for. I don't know how many

19
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 3: people were putting their money on Tennessee because of the

20
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 3: matchup against Miami of Ohio coming up and seeing what

21
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 3: Texas did to BYU, which, by the way, Aaron Torres

22
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 3: called yesterday.

23
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 4: He said, I think Texas has something.

24
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 3: For BYU, and they do, and that was an exit

25
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 3: slip out of the tournament. BYU has done the Longhorns

26
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 3: moving on you.

27
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 5: And I also called VCU over UNC on selection Sunday,

28
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 5: and then I went back and took UNC after all

29
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 5: of a sudden done.

30
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 4: So I can't take too much.

31
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 5: Credit for I, you know, yeah, one and two and

32
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 5: six eleven games yesterday, because I also had South Florida

33
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 5: beating Louis Jason Stewart.

34
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 3: Where are you on your Survivor picks for today in

35
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 3: the Friday games.

36
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 6: I'm going to bore our listeners that's still with them. No,

37
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 6: I have exactly six Survivor pools wid out over to

38
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 6: two programs Texas Tech I already have in the books today.

39
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 6: So I survived with that pool and now I'm sweating

40
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 6: out Alabama Alabama down was it five or six points? Yes,

41
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,679
Speaker 6: sweating out Alabama. I got Tennessee and uh what was

42
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 6: the one that I had?

43
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 4: Kansas? Kansas.

44
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 5: My My survivor pool rule is when your second leading

45
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 5: score gets arrested with two point one pounds of marijuana.

46
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 5: I tend to sixteer clear. That's just a general Uh yeah.

47
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 4: No, that goes back decades. They've been saying that for years.

48
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 3: My gramma actually talked, oh yeah, we first started lower

49
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 3: seeds are twenty two and oh when facing a team

50
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 3: that had a player arrested with two pounds.

51
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 4: Of oh wow, okay, okay, that's good to know.

52
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 3: Curently, the measurement was very borderline two like, it was

53
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 3: very borderline where if it was I don't know, just

54
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 3: a slight bit more, it could have been a trafficking charge.

55
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 5: It was two point two pounds in the state of

56
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 5: Alabama for people who don't know, I'm sure everybody's listening

57
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 5: for them.

58
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,679
Speaker 4: Our weed expert for Alabama.

59
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 5: Aaron Torres, aid in Holloway, Alabama second leading score was

60
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 5: arrested with two point one pounds of marijuana on allegedly

61
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 5: all that earlier in the week. And I bring it

62
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 5: up because according to what I read online, two point

63
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 5: two pounds requires a you know, a certain charge and potential.

64
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 4: I actually think.

65
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 5: It's a minimum of ten years in prison. I'm not

66
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 5: I think it is a minimum of ten years in prison,

67
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 5: and so.

68
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 4: He just slid past and did not have that amount.

69
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 3: I know Jason felt that he was boring people talking

70
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 3: about his Survivor picks, but there was a reason. There

71
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 3: was a destination that I wanted to get to. You

72
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 3: hear Jason's picks, they're all between three and six seeds.

73
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 3: It's something that we're talking about here on Fox Sports

74
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,839
Speaker 3: Radio because that's where the money is. Where if you're

75
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 3: trying to advance. He can't knock out your ones and

76
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 3: twos because you'd think they're going to advance. But yesterday,

77
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 3: we're sitting in this spot and when the games are

78
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 3: going on, and thank goodness, Duke is in a dogfight

79
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 3: with Sienna, because what we've had over the last hour

80
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 3: here is in Iowa State game where I think they're

81
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 3: up eighty two points on Tennessee State right now, like

82
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 3: it's it's you mentioned they lost one of their better

83
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 3: players in the first two minutes a game of the game,

84
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 3: and this is a complete blow and it's fifty five

85
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 3: twenty nine at the half right now. We just had

86
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 3: Arizona destroy Long Island. As much as we all love

87
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 3: the NCAA tournament, the one sixteen games. The two fifteen

88
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 3: games usually don't provide any drama. It's what happens in between.

89
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 3: In the eight, nine, seven, ten games we talked about

90
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 3: are kind of coin flips. So the meat of the

91
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 3: tournament for these two days really is between three and six,

92
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 3: no doubt. And then when now you're putting the extra

93
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 3: bonus on survivor pools, where a lot of people would

94
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 3: have guess what, I have a three seed, I have Virginia. Well,

95
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter I'm losing in the second round of

96
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 3: Tennessee or I am losing the Iowa State. When you

97
00:04:55,320 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 3: have a survivor pool, that Virginia game is that much

98
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 3: much more important. And I know a lot of people

99
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 3: just bet on the game straight up, but not everybody

100
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 3: does that they're in the long game pools. And so

101
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 3: that's why that was my that was my reasoning. So

102
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 3: I know it wasn't meant to bore, but what it

103
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 3: does is those three fourteen, five, twelve, four thirteen, six

104
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 3: eleven games means so much more when you're in these

105
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 3: survivor pools.

106
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 6: Jason Stewart and also I know Aaron kind of poop

107
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 6: pooed my uh Alabama pick poopo. It was a little

108
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 6: bit a little bit of poo poo now, but I

109
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 6: will say this, it's the reason why it might. I

110
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 6: went counterintuitive, like you have to do with these survivor pools, right.

111
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 6: I chose Alabama because I'm thinking everybody's going to be

112
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 6: thinking what Aaron said, they lost their guy, so they're

113
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 6: not They're going to stay away from their survivor pick.

114
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 4: So hopefully I was in the minority. If Alabama wins her.

115
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 3: Well, there was a stretch where they missed twelve or

116
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 3: fourteen shots, so you hope that doesn't happen again to them.

117
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 3: Is they've got it to within two?

118
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was a little mean spirited Jay Stupall.

119
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 3: But I will say this, I felt it was mean

120
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 3: spirited because I felt that Jason didn't want to talk

121
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 3: about his bracket. Like the Lee line is, nobody cares

122
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 3: about your bracket, right, nobody cares about your picks. But

123
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 3: I asked Jason about his picks, and so then he said, well,

124
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 3: this is going to be real exciting. So I felt

125
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 3: it was like, at least I felt that you got

126
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 3: him back for my point where I wanted to get

127
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 3: to that destination.

128
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 5: Okay, I do have a question that is maybe going

129
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 5: to bore the I really feel like the survivor pool

130
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 5: has taken off in the last three or four years.

131
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 5: Like I'm not poop pooing anybody who still feels out

132
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 5: a bracket. I do feel like survivor is the new

133
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 5: way to consume this tournament. And I think in a

134
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 5: lot of ways it's more fun because you know, one

135
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 5: one you can fill out more than one whatever, but

136
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 5: like two, I find like how far oh I had

137
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 5: TCU going how far?

138
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 4: And what about?

139
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 5: It's like you just got to pick one, two, three

140
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 5: teams whatever, and that's all your focus is on. You

141
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 5: don't got to worry about sixteen games a day. Again,

142
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 5: I don't know if it's boring the dust now, but

143
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 5: I think it's the off and you have a lot

144
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 5: of intensity into it, no doubt.

145
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 7: So I know.

146
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,679
Speaker 3: Iowa Sam doesn't fill in a lot of brackets, doesn't

147
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 3: take in a lot of Survivor pools, but he finds

148
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 3: his own joy in it. I had a guy who

149
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 3: was in a Survivor pool, had two buddies who were

150
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 3: in a Survivor pool. One guy just basically picked all ones,

151
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 3: twos and threes, and he was still alive at the end,

152
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 3: and he texted me again, I'm still alive. I'm like, no,

153
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 3: you're not, like you're done, Like you're not going to win.

154
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 4: Yeah.

155
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 3: I didn't have the heart to say that to him,

156
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 3: but it's like, you have no one to pick, You're

157
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 3: you're done, it's over with, You're not going to win.

158
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 3: But he was like me, I was still alive. Like,

159
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 3: wrong answer.

160
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 6: I'll tell you what what it does for me as

161
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 6: somebody who almost does know uh, doesn't follow the game

162
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 6: at all. Throughout the regular season, I get uber interested,

163
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 6: in uber passionate about my Survivor picks throughout, especially the

164
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 6: more rounds we get get. I get super involved and

165
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 6: I'm knowledgeable about these teams that I pick after largely

166
00:07:58,280 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 6: ignoring them for most of the season.

167
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 3: There's there's something to avoiding the land mine, right, That's

168
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 3: it's just of of like, so you're tiptoeing around all

169
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 3: of these games, you can find a reason to pick

170
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 3: someone or pick against someone, and that's and it's it's easy,

171
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 3: all right, We'll take Iowa State today. Well, now you're

172
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 3: not gonna have Iowa State the rest of the way.

173
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 3: The Survivor pool when we had yukon Miami FAU you

174
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 3: know in that final four, Like that was crazy because

175
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 3: the people who actually did plan out were screwed because

176
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 3: none of the top seeds were available for them to

177
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 3: be picked yes at at the end, and nobody was

178
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 3: picking FAU early on. They weren't picking them against Memphis.

179
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 3: Maybe they picked them against FDU because of of that

180
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,599
Speaker 3: next round game, but it was it was such a

181
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 3: different sort of feel within last year, you had all

182
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 3: number ones making the final four. So there's no right

183
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 3: or wrong way to do it, but to start the

184
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 3: three through six seeds are picked by a lot of people.

185
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:03,599
Speaker 4: Let me give you a good example of this.

186
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 5: I think Duke for people who are sort of into

187
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,439
Speaker 5: it or don't really understand this is the strategy behind it.

188
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 5: Like Duke, how do you feel about Duke after yesterday?

189
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 5: Because if you watch that game, you don't feel great

190
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 5: about them making a deep run. So do you use

191
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 5: them early under the presumption that they probably can't make

192
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 5: that run. But if they do make that run, then

193
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 5: you're screwed because you used them in the round of

194
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 5: thirty two. It's just there's a lot of interesting strategy

195
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 5: when you actually break it down.

196
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 4: Decisions, decisions absolutely.

197
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 3: For over forty years, tire rek has been onpling customers

198
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 3: found the right tires for how, what and where they drive,

199
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 3: ship fast and free back by free road as a protection,

200
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 3: with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire rec

201
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 3: dot com the way tire buying should be. I do

202
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 3: think that the NBA should take these four days off.

203
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 3: I think it would be a nice break as they

204
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 3: enter the stretch run and then go into the playoffs.

205
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 3: Interesting because I think that the tournament has dominated so much.

206
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 3: There's really not a national TV a except yes pastpose.

207
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 3: The streaming service is now a different story, so I

208
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 3: take that back a little bit. But ESPN's going to

209
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 3: be broadcasting the women's tournament, it does take a little

210
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 3: bit of a back seat.

211
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 4: So Luca has sixty last night, and.

212
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 3: It number one pales in comparison because they played the

213
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 3: Heat and Bam had his eighty three point game what

214
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 3: like a week ago, So Luca's sixty kind of pales

215
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 3: in comparison to that. But the only point I want

216
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 3: to make about the sixty point thing, and it's something

217
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 3: that we talked about with Rick Buker, was let's make

218
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 3: up our mind. Let's make up our mind where we

219
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 3: are on these teams and let the season play out. Yep,

220
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:42,599
Speaker 3: because three weeks ago we were talking and alluded this

221
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 3: with Rick, alluded to this. We were saying that maybe

222
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 3: the Mavericks were right in doing the deal, maybe they

223
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 3: did not win the trade. But see Lucas never going

224
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 3: to be able to win. And it's not that the

225
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,199
Speaker 3: Lakers can or can't win in the playoffs. It's the

226
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 3: flip flopping that we're having between February twenty eighth and

227
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 3: March nineteenth on how we're looking at these players, where

228
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 3: we are looking at them and looking at the teams

229
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 3: and taking these drastic swings, and that to me is

230
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 3: just a little exhausting. And so last night Lucas sixty

231
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 3: kind of goes under the radar. But I do think

232
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 3: now people are saying, well, look at what the Lakers

233
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 3: are doing. Look Lebron, he's accepting his role. The whole

234
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 3: message about the Lakers has changed in the last three weeks,

235
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 3: and I just wish we would get away with that.

236
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 3: Let's just take a step back, Let's take it month

237
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 3: by month. Let's take it months by months. When we're

238
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 3: actually making these decisions and our opinions about the NBA.

239
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,199
Speaker 5: Now, it's tough because you know, listen, we're all in

240
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,599
Speaker 5: the business of you know, we are quite literally in

241
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 5: the opinion business, and you know, we turn on these

242
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 5: mics every day and we have to be interesting and

243
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 5: say things. But I think it's always tough finding that

244
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 5: balance of saying what you really believe but also not

245
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 5: being overreactionary to a single game or a single moment.

246
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 5: And I think the NBA is so unique because there's

247
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 5: so many games and like stuff does change, and everybody

248
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 5: goes through a two, three, four game losing streak at

249
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 5: some point, and so but the I do think the

250
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,599
Speaker 5: Lakers thing is unique because they're so overcovered because you

251
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 5: have the Lebron element, you know. I thought Rick Buker

252
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 5: brought up a great point of you know, the conversation

253
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 5: about Luca and you brought this up as well as

254
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 5: two three weeks ago.

255
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 4: Is well, I this is why the Mavericks traded Luca.

256
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 5: I mean, and now we're starting to see the real

257
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,959
Speaker 5: Luca for the Lakers, and it's like, now he's back

258
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 5: to the guy that's an MVP, and all of a

259
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 5: sudden it's the worst trade in the history of the NBA.

260
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 5: So it's just I just think the inventory of games

261
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 5: doesn't help and there's really not that much that changes

262
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 5: game to game.

263
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of Stu Gotson Company

264
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 2: Live week Day. Said three pm Eastern, twelve pm Pacific.

265
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 2: It was an upset for the Ages yesterday.

266
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: It was in large bar because Taylor, our executive producer,

267
00:12:58,440 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: went to North Carolina.

268
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 7: Carolina was up nineteen.

269
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 1: But VCU came storming back and they advanced in the

270
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: NCAA tournament, and their coach nice enough to join us,

271
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 1: Phil Mortelly Junior. I have known his dad for a

272
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,079
Speaker 1: very long time. I'm super happy for this family. I

273
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,559
Speaker 1: told him right before we started. After you beat Carolina,

274
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: you should get out of the NBC suites and get

275
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 1: into a four seasons hotel. Good morning to your coach.

276
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 8: Yeah we're still here. We still we stick to our roots.

277
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 8: You know, we're still at that Embassy suite. But it's

278
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 8: been good to us. Watch. I'm a you know, I

279
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 8: come from places like Bryant, where I was like, what's

280
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 8: the cheapest rate? Okay, yeah, you're staying at that place,

281
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 8: Like I don't know if we can stay here and like, no,

282
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 8: that's the cheapest rate to your thing. Yeah, I do

283
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 8: see Tailor give me that evil eye like this freaking

284
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,719
Speaker 8: guy right, Like I keep seeing that. It is a

285
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 8: little distracting, but it's.

286
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 7: That's Carolina helmet right beyond him. Yeah.

287
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 9: Yeah, Stu said it was a great upset. I am

288
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 9: upset today. I called the ad and I said, I

289
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 9: want Martelly next season at.

290
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,719
Speaker 1: Carolina's making that Martelly's happy.

291
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:06,959
Speaker 9: Where he is.

292
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 8: He's very happy where I am. I'm at a great

293
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:13,839
Speaker 8: place at great university, right, you know, that's that's that's it.

294
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 8: I would like to have to sit down with Belichick though,

295
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 8: I would like to sit there and pick his brain

296
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 8: because obviously the amount of games that guy's won. But yeah, yes,

297
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 8: I'm at a great place. CAROLINEA is a great university,

298
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 8: obviously a great program. But I am very fortunate to

299
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 8: be at VCU. It is an incredible university and with

300
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 8: great leadership. So I'm thankful to all of them.

301
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: If Taylor was being honest, he would tell you, Belichick,

302
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: how about you win some of those games at North Carolina.

303
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 8: Yeah, I get that. I understand that.

304
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 7: I understand that mikey A had a great idea.

305
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: If you win, if you beat North Carolina and your VCU,

306
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: you should get to take their hotel rooms.

307
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 7: How about that?

308
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 8: Awkward some awkward encounters. I think one team's getting off

309
00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 8: the bus with their bags, the others getting on with

310
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 8: their bags. Yes, I don't know where they stayed. They

311
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 8: must have been right down here. I'll tell you this.

312
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 8: I like Greenville, South Carolina. What a great place, great

313
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 8: little city, great little town. You know, we're right downtown here.

314
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 8: It's a good spot. It's a good spot.

315
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 7: It's a very nice spot. Underrated spot. Yes, what do

316
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 7: you tell your kids?

317
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: I'm wondering when you're down nineteen, first round of the

318
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: NCAA Tournament, is there a moment? What do you say

319
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: to your kids? How do you keep them going and

320
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: moving forward and inspiring a comeback like the one they

321
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: had last night.

322
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 8: Well, they've been really resilient from the get go. And

323
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 8: the story I keep telling is our second game of

324
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 8: the year. We played Utah State Utah States in an

325
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 8: eight nine game today. Really good team. They had done

326
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 8: what we did, you know, what we wanted to do.

327
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 8: Last year, they had a new coach, won a million

328
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 8: games went to the NCA tournament. They had a group

329
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 8: that came back, so they were going to be really good.

330
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 8: So the second game of the year was a Friday night,

331
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 8: that first Friday, November, November seventh. I think maybe we

332
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 8: went and played them on a neutral floor in Texas,

333
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 8: and same type of deal. We went down early in

334
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 8: the second half. We got down seventeen, maybe even a

335
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 8: little bit later. It might have been like with ten

336
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 8: or eleven minutes left, and we stormed all the way

337
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 8: back tied the game, had a chance to win. They

338
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 8: wanted on the last possession, and obviously disappointed to lose.

339
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 8: But I walked out and I was like, man, this

340
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 8: group's got something, and you know, we battle We tested

341
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 8: ourselves all the way through. We were battle tested from

342
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 8: the get go, and you know, played a really tough

343
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 8: non conference to be able to win these types of games. Sure,

344
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 8: we had that happen in a couple of times throughout

345
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 8: the season, where like we got down and there was

346
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 8: never a oh my god, what's going to happen, Especially

347
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 8: the second game of the year. Right, it's easy to

348
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 8: go like, all right, new coach, like what's he doing?

349
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 8: And he didn't play me I didn't play not if

350
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 8: this guy did that guy whatever, And they never did that.

351
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 8: And it was the same last night. You could feel it.

352
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 8: They were just like, we just need to make the

353
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 8: next play, you know, whether it was offensive defense, just

354
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 8: make the next play, you know, and just let it

355
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 8: snowball from there.

356
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: Is there a point in that game where you don't

357
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: say it outwardly, but are you thinking, man, this is

358
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:04,239
Speaker 1: how the season is going to end?

359
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:05,919
Speaker 7: Or can a head coach not think like that at

360
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 7: any moment of any game?

361
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 8: Yeah? I really didn't think like that. I just I

362
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 8: kept thinking, like, what's the what haven't we tried that

363
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 8: we can go to. We went to our three smaller guards,

364
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 8: you know, our wings were they were battling the defensive end,

365
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 8: but couldn't get anything going on the offensive end. You know.

366
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,400
Speaker 8: We went to this three smaller guards just to give

367
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 8: them a different look and see if that was something

368
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 8: that would kind of shake things up.

369
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 6: And it did.

370
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,239
Speaker 8: You know. I was worried about our rebounding, but those

371
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 8: guys were in there to rebound, and then once they rebounded,

372
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 8: we were able to get out and play in the

373
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 8: open floor, which is where we're really good. So yeah,

374
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 8: it was always just like, all right, what else can

375
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 8: we do? Can do we try something different, Try something

376
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 8: different defensively, try something different on offense, a different lineup.

377
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 8: It really was just that all the way through.

378
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 7: Coach is a former broadcasting student.

379
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 9: I got to ask you about that moment on the

380
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 9: podium you had with the student broadcast and could you

381
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 9: tell us a little bit about that.

382
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, they really are awesome and I've done that couple

383
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 8: of times. I'm glad that they got that on the

384
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,959
Speaker 8: national stage. You know, they there's a number of them.

385
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,199
Speaker 8: There's there's three young guys that they pretty much come

386
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 8: to every weekly press conference. I mean those are like

387
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 8: eleven o'clock on Monday and Tuesday. I don't know when

388
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 8: they go to class. And I've never asked them that question.

389
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 8: They're there every time. They're there every time. Yes, those

390
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 8: saying three guys, they drove to Davidson when we had

391
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 8: the huge snowstorms coming up and down the East coast.

392
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 8: They drove and I was like, after the game, I'm

393
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 8: like you, I'm like, where are you guys staying tonight?

394
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 8: Like you're not driving back? I'm like you can't drive back. Fortunately,

395
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 8: they did have a place to stay. I mean they've

396
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 8: flown out the different places again on their own dime.

397
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 8: You know, they're doing it on their own dimes. He's

398
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 8: a young lady and another another young man from the

399
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 8: newspaper that they've been to a bunch of practices covering

400
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 8: our guys writing stories. So I'm really happy that they

401
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 8: get to experience this and be part of this. And

402
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 8: you know, somebody somewhere, whether it's radio, whether it's TV,

403
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 8: whether it's thinkers, whatever, they're going to hire those kids

404
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,120
Speaker 8: and they're going to be really thankful they did because

405
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:08,199
Speaker 8: they are They are thoughtful, they are genuine. Uh, they

406
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 8: are thorough with what they do, and I'm really grateful

407
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 8: for what they do for us.

408
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: Tonight they should say in Youbert Davis's room, how about that?

409
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,159
Speaker 7: I mean I didn't say. He did say that. He

410
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,360
Speaker 7: wasn't even thinking it. That was me with my dumb joke.

411
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 4: Yes, no, not you.

412
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 7: You are a humble advancer n C Double A Tournament.

413
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: I am wondering here as the as the son of

414
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: a legendary coach. When you were born at Phil Martelli

415
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,239
Speaker 1: is his name. But when you're born and you get

416
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,959
Speaker 1: to a certain age and realize I'm Phil Martelly junior.

417
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 7: Like, what age did you know you were going to

418
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:44,360
Speaker 7: be a head coach.

419
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 1: Because of the name and the heritage and and and

420
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: because of what your dad did.

421
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 8: Well When I was in uh, probably somewhere around seventh grade. Wow,

422
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 8: you know, like anybody I wanted to I wanted to

423
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 8: play in the NBA, Right, So the NBA got the

424
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 8: seventh grade. You start looking around, I'm like, I don't

425
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 8: see a whole lot of unathletic you know, five to

426
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,640
Speaker 8: eleven white guys. John Stocktram was kind of the only one.

427
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 8: So then he started going like, what's my backup playing here?

428
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 8: And ironically, the two things that I wanted to do.

429
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 8: I loved sports talk radio. I love WIP in Philadelphia

430
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 8: Nice listened to that religiously. So I either wanted to

431
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 8: do that or I wanted to coach. And coaching went

432
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 8: out pretty quick after that. From that point on, I

433
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 8: started any chance I had when I wasn't playing. You know,

434
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 8: when I was in high school, I was helping coach

435
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 8: my my grade school cyo team. You know, when I

436
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 8: was in college, I was coaching you know, the local

437
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 8: high school summer legs, the Sunny Hill League, which every

438
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 8: Philadelphia basketball player played in the Narboth Basketball League, which

439
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,880
Speaker 8: every Philadelphia basketball player. I was coaching those legs and yeah,

440
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 8: I loved it from the get go. And now I'm

441
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,479
Speaker 8: on the other side. My sixteen year old Philip Stephen,

442
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 8: he is like he knows more than I do. Like

443
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 8: there's most of the time he tells me things and

444
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 8: I'm like, yeah, I already knew that. And then I'm

445
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 8: like looking at my phone, like right, like know that,

446
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 8: and he sees things and you know, he's still playing,

447
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 8: but you know he's already talking about when he's done,

448
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 8: he wants to coach. He wants to coach. So you know,

449
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 8: it's really cool to see that and kind of pass

450
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 8: that along. It's it's in our blood. I mean, I'm

451
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 8: you know, we're a basketball family. My wife played and coach.

452
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 8: She played in the Division three National championship game her

453
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 8: senior year. Her dad's a long time high school coach

454
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 8: up in Connecticut. Like you know, her and I met

455
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 8: working in a basketball camp, you know, so that's just

456
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 8: who we are.

457
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: And right so, I'm guessing she was the least impressed

458
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 1: of everyone you had in the audience last night in

459
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: terms of family, right, yeah, yeah, her and my mom.

462
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,520

463
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 8: immacu Alatta teams that won three straight national championships in

464
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 8: the seventies. And actually she had sent me something before

465
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 8: the game. Yesterday was fifty six days to the I'm sorry,

Speaker 8: fifty four years to the day of their first national championship,

467
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 8: their first of three. So yeah, anytime. You know, my

468
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 8: dad went to the sweet sixteen to lead eight. You know,

469
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 8: we went a tournament game. Both of them are looking

470
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 8: at us like this is cute and all, but you understand,

471
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 8: like we went to the national championship.

472
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 7: Right, What was the embrace like with dad after the game?

473
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 8: Oh, it was so awesome.

474
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 7: Yeah.

475
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 8: Again, being being on that side so many times and

476
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 8: watching him do.

477
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 7: It, I'm telling you from his side, it's better watching

478
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 7: you do it than doing it yourself. I lived that

479
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 7: with my daughter. Yes, yes, I.

480
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 8: Get that, and you can feel it and to see

481
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 8: the pride and the joy in his eyes, you know,

482
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 8: And I actually didn't see it till very recently. He

483
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 8: had it My brother is my associate head coach, my

484
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 8: brother Jimmy, and so he's on our staff and they

485
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 8: had a huge embrace, you know, tears in their eyes.

486
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:52,120
Speaker 8: It's just really cool.

487
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 9: Coach, How does your game plan kind of go out

488
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 9: the window when somebody like Terrence Hill Junior off the

489
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 9: bench scores thirty four and he is just anything he

490
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 9: throws up is seemingly going in.

491
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, we've had that a number of times this year. Returns.

492
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 8: You know, he's just one of those guys. You know

493
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 8: that is that is part of the game plan. It's

494
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 8: not the whole game plan, but it is part of

495
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 8: the game plan. What I say all the time is this,

496
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 8: I want to get hoopers and I want to let

497
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,479
Speaker 8: them hoop. I don't want to turn them into robots.

498
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 8: I'm not trying to get them into like cyborgs or

499
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 8: I'm not a scientist. I don't know anything about that.

500
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 4: I don't you know.

501
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 8: I want to get hoopers. I want to let them hoop.

502
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 8: And he's a hooper and you know, at that point time,

503
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:31,679
Speaker 8: it's just all right, he's got it going. We got

504
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 8: to get the ball in his hands in the right spots,

505
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 8: you know, and trust that he's going to make the

506
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 8: right play because he's done that. He started the year

507
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,400
Speaker 8: he was shooting the ball at like a ridiculous pace,

508
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 8: so it became like shooter, shooter, shooter, and everybody's trying

509
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,479
Speaker 8: to run him off the three point line. Well, then

510
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 8: he's able to score around the rim. And then it

511
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 8: was like, all right, he's a scorer. We got to

512
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 8: get the ball of his hands. And then he turns

513
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 8: into you know, having games of seven, eight, nine assists,

514
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 8: no turnovers, and you're like, the dude's just a player,

515
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 8: and I trust him, and he trusts me that I'm

516
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 8: going to put him in the right spots and I

517
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,479
Speaker 8: trust that he's gonna you know, he's going to make

518
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,880
Speaker 8: the right play. If it's for him, he'll get the shot.

519
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,239
Speaker 8: If it's he comes off and there's two guys on him,

520
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 8: he's going to make the right play and get somebody

521
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:09,120
Speaker 8: else's shot.

522
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 7: You chose wisely by choosing coaching.

523
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 1: But if you want the off season, I know it's

524
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 1: a year round job, but if you want to get

00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 8: Bryce Harper.

560
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:49,440

00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 8: Baseball sending it to send it to him. It's the

563
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 8: next morning we were here in the Embassy's the beautiful

564
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 8: NBC suite.

565
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:57,880
Speaker 7: Of course.

566
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 8: Yes, when Nate woke up, that was the first thing

567
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:01,679
Speaker 8: I showed him. I said, yeah, I said, Harper hit

568
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 8: a home run last night. I said, they lost, but

569
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 8: he hit a home run, so right.

570
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 9: I was impressed with Aaron Nolan in the World Baseball Classic.

571
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 9: I think he has a bounce back year this year.

572
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 8: That I mean we need that. We need that big time. Yeah,

573
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 8: big time if he's right, cause Sanchez is a monster.

574
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 8: You know, Romero is really good. Like you know, if

575
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 8: if you get Nola on the bounce back wheeler comes

576
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 8: back healthy hopefully. You know those four guys that that's

577
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 8: a hell of a lineup.

578
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 4: R there.

579
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 7: It was both though, right that Team Italy was all

580
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 7: born in the United States. I mean, what are we

581
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 7: doing here?

582
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 8: It's the whole thing's crazy now. I mean, that's well,

583
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 8: we see that in uh we've seen that in the

584
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 8: Olympics in basketball a little bit. I mean, Joe he

585
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 8: played for Team USA the last Olympics, you know what

586
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 8: I mean. Like, it's like kim Olaijawan played for the

587
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 8: USA back in whatever it was ninety six, Like.

588
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,120
Speaker 7: Right, right, it's it's weird.

589
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 8: It's I mean, I guess there's a lot of really

590
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 8: good Italian baseball players. Like I love baseball. I can.

591
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 8: I wasn't a good hitter. I wasn't a great hitter.

592
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 8: I was an okay hitter. I could bunt, though, So

593
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 8: if they needed a bunner, I'd gladly put on Italy's

594
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 8: colors and go out there and try to bunt against

595
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 8: one of these guys.

596
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 7: You were great to get the guy from first to second.

597
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 8: Uh, just just try to lay one down and get

598
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 8: it over and feel like I did something.

599
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 7: Where are you on, Nick, Sirianni, and we'll get you

600
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 7: out of here in a second.

601
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 8: I mean, come on that guy again. Like that's why

602
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 8: Philadelphia's crazy, right, Like you look at that record and

603
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 8: you go everybody else in the country is like, wait

604
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 8: a second, you're winning ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen games. But

605
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,959
Speaker 8: it's like everything's the biggest controversy in the world, right.

606
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 8: I mean, that dude is just a winner. He's found

607
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 8: a way to win. He's got that bravado about about

608
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 8: him that that definitely plays well in Philadelphia. Just won

609
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 8: the Super Bowl, right, like we're yeah whatever, right, takes

610
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 8: away from them when like and we're talking about like

611
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 8: is his job, Like come on, what are we doing?

612
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 10: Right?

613
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:56,880
Speaker 4: Yes?

614
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,160
Speaker 8: What it's crazy because you know, being down in which

615
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 8: and I walk by the TV and all the national media,

616
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 8: that's all they're talking about too, is like the Eagles

617
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,439
Speaker 8: and oh, what's what's the what's the problem. They're dysfunctional

618
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 8: and like they just won seven in a row.

651
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: You want to win the whole damn tournament. So how

652
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 1: do you protect your team? Like, what do you tell

653
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,160

654
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: hit win a national championship last night. What's the message

655
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 1: to the team will be forward?

656
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, We've been talking really down the stretch here about

657
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 8: focus and refocus, right like, focus on what do we

658
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 8: have coming up here? So through all these games, even

659
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 8: back to the middle of February, right like, focus on

660
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 8: what we need to do in this game, block all

661
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 8: the extra noise, and then once those games were over,

662
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 8: it was refocused. We did that with the conference tournament,

663
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 8: right we won. Uh, you know, we went in the

664
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 8: quarterfinals and we're walking through the hall, you know, the

665
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 8: you know, go to the locker room, and I'm yelling

666
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 8: to them up ahead, refocus, refocus, and then I hear

667
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 8: them saying it amongst themselves, right, and so it's really that, Yes,

668
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 8: it's just that. And we talk about numbers. So right

669
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 8: now we're just talking about number two. You know, how

670
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 8: do we get number two? You know, and just being

671
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 8: ready with whatever it takes, and you know, not getting

672
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 8: caught up in you know, all these people that want

673
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 8: to tell you they love you right now, the same

674
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 8: people that you know, if you had lost last night,

675
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 8: we would be telling you how much you suck, right like. Yeah,

676
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 8: So you know, we just try to keep it consistent,

677
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 8: keep it even, keep everything as normal as possible. I

678
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 8: beg them, I beg them, I beg them. I'm sure

679
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 8: they didn't really listen, but I beg them, like, put

680
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 8: your phones down and go to sleep last night, yeah,

681
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:57,640
