I said, 16 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: They're not only the best team I've saw in college basketball, 17 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,759 Speaker 1: they are easily the best team I saw in college basketball. Listen, 18 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: there's just not many teams in the last twenty years 19 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: that look like this. In the last twenty five years, 20 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 1: Yukon has won six titles. They are now inevitable. The 21 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: last team in college basketball that I remember feeling this 22 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: way about, and I think Yukon is better than this team. 23 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: Was that what twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen Villanova team where 24 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:37,559 Speaker 1: you had Jalen Brunson, Eric Pascal, Mikhale Bridges. I don't 25 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,279 Speaker 1: think they had this team's size or this team's depth, 26 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 1: but you had Jay Wright, three NBA players. They were 27 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: really really good, and it was Villanova. So like Yukon, 28 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,919 Speaker 1: they're tough, East Coast physical. I like the refs letting 29 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: them play. I mean, the first thing that jumped out 30 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: to me in this game, and Jay Wright, who's an 31 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: excellent broadcaster, pointed it out, is that with Klingen, they 32 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: weren't double teaming Zach Eaty, so Zach Edy was making 33 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: tough shots, but they weren't allowing. And this is good 34 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: coaching by Dan Hurley. They just didn't give Purdue any 35 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 1: three point looks, so their guards weren't doing anything, so 36 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 1: it was a mismatch. Early Yukon's guards were getting theirs 37 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: lots of open looks. In fact, the only thing Yukon 38 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 1: did not do well tonight was hit its open threes, 39 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: they were okay, they hit some, not all of them. 40 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: Other than that, Yukon does not lose when they lead 41 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,079 Speaker 1: it half. It was thirty six thirty and they were 42 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,959 Speaker 1: forty seven to zero. And like the Golden State Warriors, 43 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: well coached teams come out in that first five or 44 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 1: six minutes of the second half and you can tell 45 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: they've made changes, alterations, and Yukon came out and I 46 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: felt at halftime, I thought Purdue's gonna go on one 47 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: of these eight to zho ten ozer runs, which is 48 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: virtually impossible against Yukon because they're so good defensively A 49 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: and B. They get so many second chance offensive rebound 50 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: points even when they miss shots, and they get good looks. 51 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 1: Yukon does not get bad looks their ball screening, their movement. 52 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 1: They come down and get great looks almost every time 53 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: down the floor, and if they miss, they get second 54 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: chance opportunities. So it's hard to go in a run 55 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: with Yukon, and that's what Yukon does. Yukon's defense makes 56 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: your even makes tough. Zach Edie made a lot of 57 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 1: shots in the first half, but if you go back 58 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: and look at the last four or five minutes of 59 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: the first half, Zach Edie looked a little gassed. He 60 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: looked tired. He was having to work for his shots, 61 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: and they weren't double teaming. But they're so physical. And 62 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: I said this on FS one today, I said, Zach 63 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: Edie's the big, but Clinging's a seven footer and everywhere 64 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: else on the floor, Yukon has a size advantage. So 65 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: it just kind of felt inevitable. And Yukon games all 66 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: look the same. It's like they're a heavyweight fighter. First 67 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: couple of rounds, they feel you out. But I think 68 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: over time it's really difficult to match their size, their 69 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: depth and their physicality. And Dan Hurley has said it, 70 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: they just wear your ass out. Yukon just wears you out. 71 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: And at one point their guards had a twenty nine 72 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: to twelve advantage, So you know, I think what you're 73 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: looking at is the best college basketball program men's are 74 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: women's right now in the last twenty five years. For 75 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: a while it was Yukon women now at South Carolina women, 76 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: But for the last twenty five years, at least in 77 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: the men's game, Yukon has pulled away from Michigan State Kansas, 78 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: Duke Carolina Villanova, and I don't see him slowing down 79 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: with Hurley. He's got another ten years minimum to coach. 80 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,280 Speaker 1: I think it's funny. He's intense, but unlike a John 81 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 1: Calipari and I'll get to that in about five minutes. 82 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: He's got some self awareness. He's got a sense of humor. 83 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: You know, he can be a salesman. I'm sure on 84 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: the recruiting trail, but they just coach. Yukon's really well coached. 85 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 1: I really feel they remind me of of Villanova with 86 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: Jay Wright. The difference is I think Yukon recruits at 87 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: a higher level. Jay Wright made a living out of 88 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: three star guys playing and developing into NBA players. You know, 89 00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 1: Yukon'll go out and get four and five star guys. 90 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: What you're looking They didn't. I didn't think Yukon shot 91 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: the ball particularly well. They missed a lot of open threes. 92 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 1: But there's I mean everything about Yukon. They're coaching their size, 93 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: their movement, their tenacity, their offensive rebounding Situationally. The other 94 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: thing is, and I always feel about this about teams. 95 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: The great teams like make it look pretty effortless Michael 96 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: Jordan made it look like he's six ' six. It's 97 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: not the biggest guy on the floor, the best pier shooter. 98 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 1: Why does he get always get great looks? Yukon gets 99 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: really good looks. Their guards, highly experienced, beat you off 100 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: the dribble, break you down. Then they have like math 101 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 1: advantages going to the basket. They can lob to biggs 102 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: to finish, they go to the corner. They just come 103 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: down in three out of four times they get great looks, 104 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: and again when they miss, they get second chance opportunities. 105 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: There's just nothing else out like it. And the other 106 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: thing is is that the culture. When when Dan Hurley 107 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 1: was on my show, it was a couple of mondays ago, 108 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 1: he said something was really point. He said, Yukon attracts 109 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: serious people and that was the New England Patriots dynasty. 110 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: Maybe it's the cold weather. You know, I don't know 111 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: what it is in the Northeast, but not a lot 112 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: of bs like Yukon stores Connecticut. You're going there for basketball, 113 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: You're going there to be coached. You know, a lot 114 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 1: of these programs out there, you know, like Kentucky basketball 115 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: was a lot of sizzle and not a lot of 116 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 1: steak under Calipari. You know what I mean. It was 117 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: a lot of look at what our guys make in 118 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 1: the NBA and look at the recruiting. But in the end, 119 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,799 Speaker 1: it was it was just accumulating rankings. It wasn't about 120 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: building great teams the last five or six years. Yukon 121 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: is the opposite of Kentucky. It's not about the coach 122 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: and the suits and the salary, and it's self awareness. 123 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: It's building teams. It's tenacity, it's accountability. I just I 124 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: like everything about Yukon basketball. It's old school and you 125 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: don't have a ton of size in college basketball. So 126 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: Zach Ede is a handful. 127 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 2: I mean, you know. 128 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: The NBA, everybody's everybody's big. Lucas six seven, guards are 129 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: big or thick, you know threes, Lebron six eight and 130 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: a half, he's a three. Everybody's got size, and you 131 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: don't in college basketball. So Zach Edy just ran through 132 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: this tournament and Purdue's excellent. I think you ran into 133 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: a buzzsaw. It was funny. I a lot of people 134 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: like Purdue in the points tonight, and I thought about 135 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: it with my guys at the volume and DraftKings. I 136 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: thought about it for about an hour this morning. I 137 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: was going back and forth and I'm like, what am 138 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: I doing here? What's going to happen, is zakied He's 139 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: gonna get his twenty something points, But in the end, 140 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: you're going to get so many offensive rebounds from Yukon, 141 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: They're going to control the glass outside of edy. I mean, 142 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: if you really think about this game, Purdue did what 143 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: they wanted to do. They got both of Yukon's bigs 144 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: in a foul trouble, and Yukon couldn't hit open threes. 145 00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: I mean, it kind of went their way, and they 146 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: still like they were absolutely outclassed. After Newton hit that 147 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: three at the start of the second half and it 148 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: was thirty nine thirty, I just didn't feel at that 149 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: point it was over. They weren't getting Purdue wasn't getting 150 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: enough good open looks on threes. You can tell this 151 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: in sporting events. It doesn't matter what sport it is, 152 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,119 Speaker 1: but you notice a lot in football where team's getting 153 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: first downs, albeit barely. They're just getting over the chain, 154 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: they're barely moving the sticks. They're having to work for 155 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: every first down, and over the course of time, you 156 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: got to get some easy stuff. Yukon gets good looks, 157 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 1: a lot of open looks, and they didn't hit all 158 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: of them, and they still won. Going away, way to 159 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 1: go Yukon. You know, I've said this before, there's so 160 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: much movement in college basketball between the portal and transferring 161 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,439 Speaker 1: and guys leaving early for leagues. I really like what 162 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: Yukon stands for. It's you know, I was there for 163 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: ten to eleven years, went to games. Everybody I knew 164 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: was a Yukon fan. My daughter had a coach when 165 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,680 Speaker 1: she was playing basketball for a few years, and even 166 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: the way they coached, you know, my daughter's like, you know, 167 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 1: the sixth grade basketball, seventh grade basketball, even the way 168 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: that team coached, hard practices, all out effort physicality. I 169 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 1: used to love going to my daughter's practices because just 170 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 1: how hard they practice and how precise and detailed they were, 171 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: and it's just it's an accountability. They're principled, and I like, 172 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 1: in a world of transferring and getting mine, Yukon stands 173 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: for all this stuff that I think is really important. 174 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 1: There's a value set of standards for Hurly, his dad, 175 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 1: his brother and him just an incredibly to me, an 176 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: incredibly likable program. They play hard, they play clean, and 177 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: I give the officials. I'm going to give them some 178 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: a tip of the cap. We see this a lot 179 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:51,199 Speaker 1: in championship games or championship fights. Officials back off and 180 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 1: let you play. That game was really really physical in 181 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 1: the first half, and the referees let him play. Now, eventually, 182 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 1: Edi creates so much contact. You know, he gets a 183 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: friendly whistle from time to time, but he creates so 184 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: much contact that they're inevitably invariably their fouls. And you know, 185 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: Yukon's bigs got into foul trouble, but it could have been. 186 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 1: They could have been in foul trouble much sooner. But 187 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,680 Speaker 1: the refs let them play. You know, let the bigs play, 188 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: let them battle on the glass. Effort wins, depth, winds, 189 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 1: length wins, and that's where Yukon's at. I also want 190 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: to congratulations to the Huskies and Purdue. Good to see 191 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: a Big ten team. I think it's going to get 192 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: a monster number even though it wasn't a close game. 193 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,679 Speaker 1: You know, the Northeast is watching. I hate that it's 194 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 1: a nine to twenty Eastern tip off for college sports, 195 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: especially you know, for years and years, Monday Night football 196 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: started really late. I never loved that. But when I 197 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: lived out East, one of the things I pined for 198 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: was moving back west so I could watch games at 199 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,839 Speaker 1: a reasonable hour. So I don't mind doing this right 200 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: now as I look at mine, so it's eight forty 201 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: three where I'm at, but you know it's almost night 202 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: on the East Coast. People have to work tomorrow. Don't 203 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,839 Speaker 1: love that. The NBA season is in full swing, coming 204 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 1: down the stretch.

John Calipari has bailed on Kentucky and 233 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: he is taking the job at Arkansas. I want to 234 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 1: concentrate on who Kentucky should hire. I would call two coaches, 235 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 1: Jay Wright and he won't take it. Billy Donovan, Billy Donovan, 236 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: other Chicago Bulls. I don't think he'll take it. Although 237 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 1: I think Billy Donovan is a good recruiter. He's a 238 00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: sensational in game coach, much better than Calipari. Every college 239 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: coach needs some sort of salesmanship in Donovan, you know, 240 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 1: good looking, confident guy has it. But I mean what 241 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 1: he's coaching the Chicago Bulls and they got a couple 242 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 1: of first round picks. I think this year it's not 243 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 1: a very deep draft. Some good international players at the top, 244 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: that's about it. But he makes six to six and 245 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 1: a half million in the NBA. I would take that 246 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 1: over eight to eight and a half million over college basketball. 247 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:26,679 Speaker 1: Better travel, better hotels, better players, better coaching, more big 248 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 1: league stuff. It's nothing against the SEC, but I don't 249 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: want to be hanging out in Starksville. I don't want 250 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 1: to be hanging out in Auburn. If I can hang 251 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: out you know, New York, Boston, bigger cities live in Chicago. 252 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: To me, it's a better life, it's better coaching. I 253 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:47,319 Speaker 1: don't have to deal with Dean's the NCAA school presidents, 254 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:52,680 Speaker 1: the ad Klingy needy boosters, nil transfer portal. I don't 255 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: think college basketball. I think you can do it right 256 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: or better, but I don't think it's as much fun. 257 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: That's why Jay Wright's got ten years left and went 258 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 1: to television. Jay Wright to me, he'll be good at 259 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 1: anything he does because of his commitment and his attention 260 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 1: to detail. But Jay Wright would probably rather be coaching 261 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: in college. But I don't think it's designed for quality 262 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: of life in the NBA. Is you can have a 263 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: life coaching in the NBA, and Chicago is not in 264 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: the near future going to be a title threat. They've 265 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: got a bunch of guys, good guys, not great guys. 266 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: But I would hire Billy Donovan in a second, and 267 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: I think he would win more than Calipari would. But 268 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: I just don't think it's as good a job. I mean, 269 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: I know that it sounds out of touch with college sports, 270 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: but you ask people that have coached in the NBA, 271 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 1: You ask people that have coached in college. You know, 272 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: in college it's a coach's sports, so you have a 273 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: lot of power, but you got to deal with a 274 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 1: lot of nonsense stuff you didn't have to deal with 275 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 1: even five years ago. NBA it's about basketball. I mean, 276 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 1: most NBA coaches I know have a good relationship with 277 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: a front office. Sometimes you get a zany owner. Most 278 00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: of the time you don't. You know, it's not like 279 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 1: the NFL that's so high profile that owners. You know, 280 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 1: all your friends love the NFL. Sometimes NFL owners, you know, 281 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: they want to impose their power on a franchise. There's 282 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: occasionally a bad NBA owner. But you know, the general managers, 283 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 1: the executives in the league I talked to, they have space, 284 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 1: they have some control. They don't feel they have a 285 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 1: helicopter parent over them. And I think Billy Donovan in 286 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: Chicago is respected, is liked, he's a great coach. I 287 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: could never figure this out years ago when I would 288 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 1: hear and I would hear sort of random stuff about 289 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: Billy Donovan and OKC because he couldn't make you know, 290 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: KD and Westbrook and Harden. Well we now know Harden's 291 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: a flake. Westbrook is talented, but never could really shoot 292 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 1: like you'd like a guard to shoot. Sometimes tough to 293 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: play with. And Katie's a different cat. So you know, 294 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 1: it was for years and years, we'll wear all the championships. Well, 295 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: now you look ten years later and it's like, that's 296 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 1: why it didn't get championships. You had Lebron and the 297 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: heat Many dynasty, you have the Warriors dynasty. That's why 298 00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: I didn't win championships. So Klipari, I think he a 299 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: little bit of a victim of his early success. But 300 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 1: he makes the mistake that a lot of people do, 301 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: and that is he is not able to shift to 302 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 1: a second gear. You're not gonna win championships. You're not 303 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 1: gonna beat Purdue. You're not gonna beat Yukon when you've 304 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 1: got a bunch of freshmen. He's not gonna do it. 305 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 1: I mean Yukon's guards. How many games do those guys 306 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 1: have combined? Mick cronin, UCLA basketball coach on my show today, 307 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 1: I forget the number. It was insane. It's like the 308 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 1: two guards between the two of them had you know, 309 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 1: three hundred games or something like that of experience. You're 310 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: not beating that with a bunch of freshmen. So Yukon 311 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: does it right. I think other programs do it right. 312 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 1: Carolina's got older teams and I think they do a 313 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 1: good job. You know, at Carolina realizing you can get 314 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: the occasional four and five star guy, but Villanova Carolina. 315 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 1: If you really want to win at this level, the 316 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 1: sport has changed. One and done had its moment. It's 317 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 1: over defense used to run the NFL. It's over all right, 318 00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 1: instant reaction. Yukon rolls six titles and twenty five years, 319 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: they have officially pulled away from even the top programs 320 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 1: in men's college basketball. The volume. Thanks so much for listening. 321 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 1: If you've enjoyed the podcast, take a moment, rate and 322 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 1: review
