The transfer transfer portal opened to 60 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 8: get at twelve oh one last night, and we have 61 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 8: some holes in our roster that we must fill and 62 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 8: so credit our staff. They hold me accountable and they've 63 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 8: had some stuff set up this morning. 64 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 7: So we've been hitting the ground running. 65 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 4: Were you working the transfer portal after winning the championship 66 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 4: when you guys are celebrating, We. 67 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 8: Actually contemplating doing a zoom at twelve oh one, knowing 68 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 8: how much media we were going to have and how 69 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 8: many hours that would take. I think it was about 70 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 8: two o'clock and I said, are we still doing a zoom? 71 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 8: And the staff said no, that that ship passed and 72 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 8: we just waited till this morning. 73 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 2: Take me into halftime, got a small lead, But what 74 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 2: is your message to your team? 75 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 8: Our message was that things weren't going great. We weren't 76 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 8: making shots, Yaxel was frustrated with his play, and we 77 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 8: were at four points against a team that is conditioned 78 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 8: to win, as any team that we faced in the 79 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 8: last couple of years, and so we were optimistic that 80 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 8: if we found a little bit of offensive rhythm, then 81 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 8: we could find a way to at least tie or 82 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 8: lose by no less than three the second twenty minutes. 83 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 2: And I brought this up a couple of times yesterday 84 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 2: that unless you've shot in a big arena, the depth perception, 85 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 2: it's really hard to get acclimated to that. And this 86 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 2: was one of the worst shooting percentages for a national 87 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 2: title game we've had in a long, long time. How 88 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 2: much of a role do you think it played that 89 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 2: you're playing in you know these cavernous stadiums. 90 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 8: Now, Well, we shut the heck out of it on Saturday, 91 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 8: so we felt good about preparation. 92 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 7: I think it had more. 93 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 8: To do with with with Yukon's defense, the physicality game, 94 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 8: and just two determined basketball teams that were fighting tooth 95 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 8: and Nail just trying to figure out a way to win, 96 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 8: and they did a great job of controlling the tempo 97 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 8: of the game, of forcing us to. 98 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 7: Play at their pace, and they had us in a 99 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 7: rock fight. 100 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 2: Any added, I don't know what the word would be 101 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 2: that you did it in Indianapolis after, you know, being 102 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 2: in Indiana under Bob Knight. 103 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 8: It's actually probably a little bit more distracting because we're 104 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 8: trying to accommodate a lot more people because of proximity. 105 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 8: But just I've said repeally, it's just a full circle moment. 106 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 8: As a young kid, my mom would bring me up 107 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 8: to these clinics at the Final four of the Yes Clinics, 108 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 8: and these basketball clinics where the college coaches back then 109 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 8: were actually working stations and teaching us how to shoot 110 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 8: and and dribble the ball when we're in elementary school. 111 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 8: Things have changed a lot in that regard. And then 112 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 8: also in two thousand, a group of US managers came 113 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 8: up here because we could we could commute, and just 114 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 8: we were trying to network and meet any coach, to 115 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 8: make any connection that we could to find a way 116 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 8: to gain a spot in college basketball, and literally any 117 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 8: spot volunteer gas that those are the jobs we were 118 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 8: looking for. 119 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 2: He's a Dusty may Michigan had basketball coach.

And because these college years are 179 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,079 Speaker 8: I mean a lots has been said about the portal 180 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 8: and all this other stuff. 181 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 7: That eighteen to twenty three, eighteen to. 182 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 8: Twenty two are such informative year for any of this 183 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,319 Speaker 8: that have changed as much as I did at that stage, 184 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 8: and so we just want to make sure it's the 185 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 8: right fit at the right stage of their careers and 186 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,439 Speaker 8: their development, and so we never take it personal. And 187 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 8: so we decided to try to keep several of them, 188 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 8: and finances we didn't have hardly any money. Finances wouldn't 189 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 8: allow us to keep very many. And then luckily Vlad 190 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 8: Golden chose to join us from FAU and shortly thereafter 191 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 8: we got Danny Woolf because of his family connections to 192 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 8: Michigan and his desire to play at the highest level 193 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 8: in preparation for the NBA coming from Yale. So we 194 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 8: had a couple foundational pieces, a couple of returners from 195 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 8: the previous Michigan group that had institutional knowledge, and from 196 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 8: there we were able to build out and really set 197 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 8: an identity and culture. 198 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 7: In year one. 199 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 4: Is Michigan a football school or basketball school? 200 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 7: It's an everything school. 201 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,199 Speaker 8: But I wish you're saying that the football is incredibly 202 00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 8: important at Michigan. There's one hundred and ten thousand and 203 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 8: people that gather on our campus every single Saturday to 204 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 8: watch high level football to celebrate everything that comes with 205 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 8: the University of Michigan. 206 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 7: And and we've. 207 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 8: Piggybacked on that our our our first game at Michigan, 208 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 8: there's probably thirty five hundred people, and I can't remember 209 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 8: the last played in front of a crowd that wasn't 210 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 8: a sellout and they didn't bring great energy. So people 211 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 8: love the university. They obviously appreciate a certain style of 212 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 8: play as far as tenacity and and and teamwork and 213 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 8: and so we're proud to be in a place where 214 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 8: where they celebrate all sports. 215 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 2: What's the sweatshirt?

By the way, 251 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 2: North Carolina came in from what I'm told, last minute 252 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 2: to gauge the interest of Ben McCollum leading Iowa leaving 253 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,079 Speaker 2: Iowa to go to North Carolina, and he said, no, 254 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 2: I'm staying here. And Jay Billis is right. You know 255 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 2: you can't tamper with a player. Why are we allowed 256 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 2: to tamper with a coach? That's what happened. All of 257 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,959 Speaker 2: these guys got jobs. There's nobody who's going I'm unemployed. 258 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,559 Speaker 2: We can talk to you. They all got tam tampered with. 259 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,479 Speaker 2: Now they can say, well, I didn't talk to anybody. 260 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 2: My representative did. Yeah, I know, we know, hy proxy, 261 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 2: you were tampered with because I'm guessing your representative then 262 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 2: probably said something to you, Hey, are you interested in 263 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 2: the North Carolina job? 264 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 4: Yes? 265 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 10: So here's an easy fix this proposed rule. For players, 266 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 10: possibly your first transfer is on the house. Your second 267 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 10: transfer you sit out a season. Make it the same simultaneously. 268 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 10: For coaches, your first leave by choice is on the house. 269 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 10: Your second lead by choice you have. 270 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:33,959 Speaker 4: To wait a year. 271 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, Will Wade, Yeah, well, with the player, I do 272 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:39,960 Speaker 2: think you should sign a contract. 273 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 4: That's all. 274 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 2: I think. 275 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 10: They do sign contracts, but they're a series of one 276 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 10: year contracts. 277 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 2: But when you transfer, yeah, that's where the team that 278 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 2: takes you should give some money back to the school 279 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 2: you're leaving, because this will help the mid majors, because 280 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 2: a mid major is going to lose the player who 281 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 2: becomes a little bigger, more talented and ready to go 282 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 2: to the next level. Help out the mid major if 283 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 2: you're going to take them, Because I view mid majors 284 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 2: now as junior colleges basketball wise, that you're there for 285 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 2: two years, maybe somebody notices you. If not, you stay 286 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 2: there for three or four years, you get an education 287 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 2: and you move on with life. But if you move up, 288 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 2: move on, then why not replenish the mid majors and 289 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 2: give them something for losing you? Just a thought, Just 290 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 2: a thought, all right? Reggie and Jalen Rose. In the 291 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 2: final hour of the program, Dusty had that, you know, 292 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 2: championship voice, Tom Izzo and Doc Rivers they got that 293 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 2: the rest of their lives. 294 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 4: I mean that, I mean Doc Rivers sounds like this, 295 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 4: They've got to give me four quarters. I told these guys, 296 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 4: they got to give me four quarters. 297 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 3: We're not going to get back at this day. 298 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 4: Really good doc going into the Hall of Fame.

And then my 381 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 2: source said, hey, I like this one, and he goes, 382 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 2: I don't know if it will happen, and it almost 383 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 2: felt like they couldn't get anybody else. And then Michael 384 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 2: Malone says, I'll take the job, but he is definitely 385 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 2: going to tap into his connections with Nicola Jokic's agent, 386 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,439 Speaker 2: and they're going to be bringing some players over to 387 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 2: North Carolina, all right. And you know a lot of 388 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 2: times when you see a coach, you don't know where 389 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 2: they've been. And if you look at Dusty May and 390 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,479 Speaker 2: all the places that he's been to, I mean that 391 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 2: that's what's amazing that you see when somebody gets to 392 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 2: the end, you go, oh wow, good for him, and 393 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:32,440 Speaker 2: then you start to look at where he's been student manager. 394 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 2: I mean, just run down the places that he's been 395 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 2: to and imagine uprooting your life and you there's nothing 396 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 2: guaranteed when you know you're just starting out, you're an 397 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:47,640 Speaker 2: assistant coach, You're doing whatever it takes. He's going from 398 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 2: Bloomington to Indiana with these basketball clinics basically saying, hey, 399 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:57,439 Speaker 2: you need you know, a you know, student manager, maybe 400 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 2: an assistant manager, anything, can I get a part of 401 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 2: your team? And then once you get into the inner 402 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:08,679 Speaker 2: workings and you know, to almost like that feeding system 403 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,160 Speaker 2: of this guy goes to here, that guy goes to here. 404 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:16,159 Speaker 2: So when somebody gets replaced, the number of players and 405 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 2: number of coaches that get affected are really amazing. Because 406 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,160 Speaker 2: if you take a job, somebody takes your job. Somebody 407 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 2: takes your job, somebody takes your job. It just keeps 408 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 2: going on and on and on and on. 409 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:29,880 Speaker 4: But here he is. He ends up at Michigan. 410 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 2: But what he did at Florida Atlantic, and Jay Billis 411 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 2: brought this up first hour, I forgot all about it. 412 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 2: They go to the Final four. That's when you leave 413 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 2: Florida Atlantic for a big job. He decides to stay 414 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 2: one more year with his players at Florida Atlantic. They 415 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 2: all stay and they don't disperse, and now you know 416 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 2: he ends up taking the Michigan job. By the way, 417 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:59,200 Speaker 2: Transfer Portal opening for business last night at the well 418 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 2: twelve oh one and last, I was told eleven hundred 419 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,679 Speaker 2: men's basketball players will be in the portal. Now, not 420 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,920 Speaker 2: everybody's going, because you kind of want to see, Hey 421 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 2: can I go? Where can I go? How do I 422 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 2: improve myself? You just don't want to be left out, 423 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 2: you know, because there that's the story that people don't 424 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 2: tell those that go into portal, and then they don't 425 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 2: end up landing, and then they're kind of stuck in 426 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 2: no man's land. But the happy Transfer Portal day, Adam 427 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 2: in Illinois, Hi, Adam, what's on your mind today? 428 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 9: Well? Hey, the first time long time Stan six four 429 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:47,199 Speaker 9: not accusing the DP show of being Michigan haters, I'm not, 430 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,439 Speaker 9: but this is too kind of all the Michigan haters 431 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,639 Speaker 9: out there. You know, over the last five years, starting 432 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:56,119 Speaker 9: with you know, the Stallions, not necessarily great things, but 433 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 9: a call or a while ago said that there really 434 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 9: hasn't been a eight college basketball team, But what about 435 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 9: Michigan this year? These guys blew everybody out of the water, 436 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 9: lost to Duke in kind of a meaningless game in 437 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:16,360 Speaker 9: DC thrown together? Am I wrong that Michigan should get 438 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,359 Speaker 9: a little bit more credit over the last five years. 439 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,400 Speaker 4: Over the last five years, yeah. 440 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,440 Speaker 9: I mean it's starting with twenty let's let's go twenty four. 441 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,400 Speaker 9: Even before that, there were some good there were some 442 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:32,680 Speaker 9: really good football teams, and always were always there in hockey. 443 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, but this is about basketball last night. 444 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 9: Well, but I mean I kind of think this is 445 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 9: one of those historical teams. 446 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 2: Well, I think statistically, yes, I mentioned that they blow 447 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 2: everybody out, they're scoring at least they scored the second 448 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 2: most points in tournament history. 449 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 4: I mentioned that. 450 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 2: I have no problem with how he built his roster, 451 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 2: none whatsoever. So I don't know why you're feeling insecure 452 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:07,919 Speaker 2: that the media is hating on Michigan. I mean, we 453 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,440 Speaker 2: saw greatness, they played great they won the title. Now, 454 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 2: I don't know if history is going to look back 455 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 2: the way they did UNLV or Duke or UCLA and 456 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,639 Speaker 2: some of these other schools. Probably not for this team. 457 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 2: I don't think you have any stars on the team. 458 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 2: I think the star was probably that coach and how 459 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 2: he put all this together. These weren't great players, but 460 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 2: they became a great team. 461 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 4: Yes, there could be a. 462 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,400 Speaker 3: Point though to what the college just said. It does 463 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,959 Speaker 3: kind of feel like if this was a John Calipari 464 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,679 Speaker 3: Kentucky team right from the beginning of the season, we 465 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 3: could be like, this might be one of the greatest 466 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 3: teams of all time. I know that's definitely apples and oranges, 467 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 3: I get it. But Michigan sort of slowly got their 468 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 3: way into a certain amount of coverage and being recognized. 469 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 3: But it was even just two weeks ago that we 470 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 3: were like, man, this Michigan team deserves a lot of 471 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:05,959 Speaker 3: credit for the turnaround under Dusty May. You know, it 472 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,920 Speaker 3: wasn't really a storyline all season. 473 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,159 Speaker 2: But nobody surprised or should be surprised Michigan won the 474 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 2: national title. From the start of the season, Michigan was 475 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 2: considered one of the two or three best teams in 476 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 2: the country. Not even like that wasn't a doubt. Michigan 477 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 2: proved to be a great team start to finish. You 478 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 2: gotta have star power, you got to have a big 479 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 2: time coach. That's how we remember you, like it or not, 480 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 2: That's how you get remembered. Oh that's the team that had. 481 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 2: Can anybody name any of the players on Texas Western? 482 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 2: Texas Western the first all black starting five national champion. 483 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 2: Can you name anybody? 484 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 4: Can't? 485 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:58,880 Speaker 2: You might be able to remember the coach, Don Haskins, 486 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,640 Speaker 2: but this this is one of the landmark games in 487 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 2: sports history. And they beat an all white Kentucky two. 488 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:13,160 Speaker 2: But we don't remember the names having those names, whether 489 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 2: it's Leuel Sindor or Bill Walton or Christian Leyton or 490 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,640 Speaker 2: that goes a long way right or wrong. More people 491 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 2: remember the Fab Five. They didn't win a title, but 492 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:29,199 Speaker 2: they were famous. So it's not meant to be a 493 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 2: knock on Michigan. They were a great team and they 494 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 2: did it in a unique way. And I applaud Dusty 495 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,919 Speaker 2: May for how we did it. It's not easy to 496 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 2: do that. It's not like he's taking marquee player like 497 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 2: these are great players. I mean, I got somebody from 498 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:51,199 Speaker 2: University of Alabama, Birmingham, a backup center at UCLA, Like 499 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 2: I'm piecing it all together. 500 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 4: And I thought that that's tough to make it work. 501 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 2: But you did have players who had at least had 502 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:01,160 Speaker 2: sample size there. 503 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:03,439 Speaker 4: Yes, Marvin. 504 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 5: History might remember Michigan if one of those guys becomes 505 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 5: an NBA star, almost like in the Vain Carmelo Anthony 506 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:14,920 Speaker 5: was super famous in college, but the lore becomes bigger 507 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 5: because he became a great NBA player. Also, so I 508 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 5: think once you have a guy that does something at 509 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 5: the next level, yukon the back to back national titles, 510 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,200 Speaker 5: the general public can't name anybody off of those teams. Yeah, 511 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 5: because they weren't stars, and it wasn't nobody became an 512 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 5: NBA star. 513 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 2: You become great because it's attached to being popular. You know, 514 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 2: we remember you. There are a lot of times when 515 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,920 Speaker 2: you go, oh, you know who was on that team? 516 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 2: If you won a national championship and we go who 517 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,680 Speaker 2: was on that team, then you can be a great team. 518 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,880 Speaker 2: You're just not famous. And there's a big difference in that. 519 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 2: But Michigan winning they were no doubt about it, best 520 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:02,200 Speaker 2: team in America. Seven game series. They're gonna beat anybody 521 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 2: a one game, They'll beat any I mean, it didn't matter. 522 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,919 Speaker 2: They were a great team. And if you look at 523 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 2: the production they had and they beat Connecticut at Connecticut's game, 524 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:15,360 Speaker 2: that that's truly a great team. We can beat you 525 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 2: if we get to eighty. We can beat you if 526 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:18,439 Speaker 2: we stay in the sixties. 527 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 10: Yeah, pulling and a lot of people tuned in last night, 528 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 10: casual sports fans and learned their names last night of 529 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 10: that Michigan team. No offense, but just like they got there. 530 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 10: You mentioned most outstanding player over the past ten years. 531 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,400 Speaker 10: Just a few names, Joe Barry the second for North Carolina, 532 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 10: Dante DiVincenzo hit a good career, Kyle Guy of Virginia, 533 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:43,359 Speaker 10: Jared Butler of Baylor, Snogo of Yukon, Tristan Newton of Yukon. 534 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 10: Not household names, remember Ryan Archidiacino of Villanova. They don't 535 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,160 Speaker 10: go on to superstar careers and it kind of waters 536 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:54,200 Speaker 10: down that team. Doesn't mean they weren't great, just they 537 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,199 Speaker 10: don't carry over in pop culture. 538 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, like Chris Jenkins, h's the shot to win a 539 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 2: national title. Villanova great program. Yes, morph you. 540 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 5: Took the words out of my mouth speaking of Villanova. 541 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,399 Speaker 5: I think that team gets more recognition because of what 542 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 5: Jalen Brunston ended up doing in the NBA, because they 543 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,200 Speaker 5: say who's on that team. Jalen Brunston was their guy, 544 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 5: won that national championship team. So I think that helps 545 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:19,159 Speaker 5: going forward in history. 546 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:24,199 Speaker 2: Yeah, but if you feel slighted, but it's not with 547 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,400 Speaker 2: this show, or you shouldn't with this show. 548 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 4: But I don't think we. 549 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 2: Need to bring in Michigan hockey. You know, I'm gonna 550 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 2: I'm gonna mention football and basketball and I'm gonna hit 551 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 2: him over the head with Michigan hockey.

It's a great thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 695 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,800 Speaker 3: It doesn't mean that I'm leaving the Dan Patrick Show entirely. 696 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,759 Speaker 3: It means I'm not doing the radio show anymore. And 697 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,440 Speaker 3: so I'm gonna leave the radio show to focus on 698 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,240 Speaker 3: sort of a different side of the business that I'm 699 00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,680 Speaker 3: hoping to grow and build out a little more. And 700 00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 3: so I've kind of been thinking of it as I'm 701 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,319 Speaker 3: not walking out the door. I'm sort of building a 702 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,880 Speaker 3: new room on this house. Okay, that makes sense. Okay, 703 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,880 Speaker 3: we're looking at digital content, right right, right, Yeah, So 704 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:59,080 Speaker 3: I'm gonna sort of grow out sort of more experiential things, 705 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,440 Speaker 3: maybe hit more events, going to you know, say, college 706 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,960 Speaker 3: football tailgates or other events that maybe because of the 707 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:09,600 Speaker 3: radio show, we haven't really had the ability to do 708 00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,800 Speaker 3: because you're sort of anchored or tethered to the radio 709 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,080 Speaker 3: show every day. We got to be back in Milford 710 00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:16,759 Speaker 3: by Monday. We got to do that's all. We can't 711 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:18,799 Speaker 3: do that because of the radio show. Well, I'm going 712 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,480 Speaker 3: to start to focus on those opportunities that maybe we're 713 00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:25,359 Speaker 3: missing a little more and hopefully adding to sort of 714 00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,439 Speaker 3: our social presence and the TV show and a little 715 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:29,960 Speaker 3: more focus on that side of things. 716 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:34,320 Speaker 2: And when Seaton started talking to me about digital content, 717 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 2: and I didn't understand it, but he said, hey, you know, 718 00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:39,880 Speaker 2: we got to capitalize it on this, and then he 719 00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,239 Speaker 2: kept bringing up more and more and more, and I said, well, 720 00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:47,480 Speaker 2: then why don't you do it? Because he likes building things, 721 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:50,759 Speaker 2: And I thought, Okay, this can be what you want 722 00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:52,520 Speaker 2: to do for the next two years with a show 723 00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,080 Speaker 2: and then after that, and I knew it could be 724 00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:59,400 Speaker 2: good at it. I just didn't want to lose him 725 00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:03,960 Speaker 2: without really realizing what I'm gaining from him. And it 726 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,000 Speaker 2: wasn't fair to me to go, I'm going to keep 727 00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:09,040 Speaker 2: him here, you know, for the betterment of the show, 728 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:13,160 Speaker 2: but I wanted for the betterment of himself, the business, 729 00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,640 Speaker 2: his family. A lot of different things factored into this. 730 00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:21,320 Speaker 2: But he saw things that I didn't see and he said, 731 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 2: let's try this, and so that led us to this, 732 00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:29,920 Speaker 2: and I'm excited about it because he's excited about it. Yeah, 733 00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:31,879 Speaker 2: I'm super pumped about it. It's not a decision either 734 00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:33,000 Speaker 2: that I make lightly. 735 00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:36,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been on the radio since two thousand, you know, 736 00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,600 Speaker 3: so the last twenty four of the last twenty seven 737 00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:41,279 Speaker 3: years I've been on the radio. This has been my 738 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:43,840 Speaker 3: whole career. It's been my whole like adult life. So 739 00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:47,120 Speaker 3: it's not a decision that I make lightly. But there's 740 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,880 Speaker 3: a couple of reasons. A few things there, Dan, Like 741 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,080 Speaker 3: you just said about sort of looking to the future 742 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,000 Speaker 3: and where I think I fit best. I'm sort of 743 00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,759 Speaker 3: moving towards that. And you know the other thing too, 744 00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:02,040 Speaker 3: is that you know, my son is sixteen, and you 745 00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:05,640 Speaker 3: know life is taking him in incredible places. He's he's 746 00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:07,960 Speaker 3: in a remarkable young man, and I want to be 747 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:09,799 Speaker 3: there for all of them, all of the things that 748 00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:14,120 Speaker 3: he's about to experience in life. And you're giving me 749 00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:17,000 Speaker 3: the opportunity and the freedom to be there for those things, 750 00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:21,200 Speaker 3: which ultimately, I think when we look back at the 751 00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:23,840 Speaker 3: few of us that left ESPN to go start this 752 00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:27,200 Speaker 3: thing together, you know that was kind of the point, 753 00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,799 Speaker 3: was to have more freedom and the ability to be 754 00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:33,280 Speaker 3: around our family more and that's something I've been blessed 755 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:36,319 Speaker 3: to be around my family a ton, But the next 756 00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,279 Speaker 3: part of his life is I think it gould be 757 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,880 Speaker 3: pretty special, and being able to be there for that 758 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,960 Speaker 3: is truly a blessing. So thank you very much for 759 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:48,640 Speaker 3: not only believing in me, but also giving me the opportunity. 760 00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:52,520 Speaker 2: To do that. Okay, last day's on Friday, though, Yeah, yeah, 761 00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:57,120 Speaker 2: last day's Friday.

But you know, it's like mcleven. 764 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,880 Speaker 2: When McLevin left, he did what was best for his family, 765 00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:09,000 Speaker 2: and when we started this, these guys helped me do 766 00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:12,600 Speaker 2: what was best for me and my family. I got 767 00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:15,600 Speaker 2: to go home because I was missing out on all 768 00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:18,680 Speaker 2: of these things with four young kids. And that's why 769 00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,879 Speaker 2: when McLevin said to me he had two daughters and 770 00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:25,960 Speaker 2: you know, he was commuting two hours each way, and 771 00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:28,280 Speaker 2: I just said, you know, if you got another chance 772 00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:29,279 Speaker 2: to do something, do it. 773 00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:31,560 Speaker 4: And same thing with Setan.
