Speaker 1: in Peter King Ohio? You grass is that right? Yeah?
Speaker 1: A Bobcat, Brooklyn Decker back, oh Brooklyn Decker. She always

Speaker 1: by the way, because Virginia it's got that COVID issues.
Speaker 1: Jim Parsons He's from Houston, isn't he. Yes, Susan's a
Speaker 1: good team. Yes, he'll have Houston probably going all the
Speaker 1: way Clayton Kershaw the Dodgers involved in this this year,
Speaker 1: did you know he went to high school with Matthew No, No,
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. Did you see where when the
Speaker 1: Rams got Matthew Stafford? Is it Michael Brockers. Brockers came
Speaker 1: out and said, hey, we upgraded at quarterback with the
Speaker 1: Rams guests who got traded to the Detroit Lions to
Speaker 1: be reunited with Jared Goff. Michael Brockers, I guess is
Speaker 1: not going to be with the Rams Matthew Stafford in
Speaker 1: that upgrade. Oops. So the Celebrity Bracket Challenge. And by
Speaker 1: the way, if you're watching on Peacock or TV Partner,
Speaker 1: you'll notice during the commercial breaks we're bringing you the
Speaker 1: New Haven County Emerald Society bagpipes and drums. You can
Speaker 1: find the full performance on our website and social media channels.
Speaker 1: It was great to see the guys come by and
Speaker 1: able to bring back a performance from those guys. We've
Speaker 1: touched on a variety of things today, some college basketball.
Speaker 1: We touched on Russell Wilson with what's going on and
Speaker 1: his situation. Is there a situation that is going to
Speaker 1: be getting heating up or cooling off. Not sure. I
Speaker 1: did hear from a source last hour who said that
Speaker 1: from what this person found out, the Bears offered three
Speaker 1: first round picks, a third round pick, and two starters.
Speaker 1: Didn't say if it was offense defense, no names involved.
Speaker 1: I did ask the person who was close to the
Speaker 1: situation when the Bears did not know and you don't
Speaker 1: want those names to get out, and I understand that
Speaker 1: you know if you're some of the names have been mentioned,
Speaker 1: Khalil Mack or a Keem Hicks. I don't know who's
Speaker 1: involved in it. I just wanted to know that the
Speaker 1: Bears did everything they possibly could do to land Russell
Speaker 1: Wilson and that so my source said they this is
Speaker 1: what they're offering, and their feeling was that the GM
Speaker 1: John Snyder would have looked at this and accepted this,
Speaker 1: but Pete Carroll was not going to do that. And
Speaker 1: once again, this is kind of fluid conversation here. That's
Speaker 1: just happening because I had somebody reach out to me
Speaker 1: and say I have some details if you're interested, and
Speaker 1: then followed up. Obviously wanted to find out exactly what
Speaker 1: their role was in all of this, and that was
Speaker 1: the information I got last down, but three number ones,
Speaker 1: a third round pick and two starters. Don't know if
Speaker 1: it was offense or defense, but that was last hour. Yeah, mclub.
Speaker 1: So if they had accepted this trade, like, where would
Speaker 1: they have gone for quarterback? Because the Bears pick twenty
Speaker 1: I believe so not draft. I don't know, but it
Speaker 1: still came back to that with Seattle for me, who's
Speaker 1: your quarterback? The Bears weren't a good man in my opinion.
Speaker 1: I never thought they were from the beginning. But they
Speaker 1: did go all in. They swung for the fences, they missed.
Speaker 1: They ended up with Andy Dalton. I don't know if
Speaker 1: somebody else is gonna you know, now you at least
Speaker 1: know what it's probably going to take to get Russell Wilson,
Speaker 1: and then you're if you're a team that's interested. You know,
Speaker 1: the only other teams are Vegas and the Saints, and
Speaker 1: the Saints feel like they're settled at quarterback. According to
Speaker 1: Sean Payton New Joint Us yesterday, I guess Vegas has
Speaker 1: to be included in there. It's a possibility. I think
Speaker 1: if anything happens, you got to look at after the
Speaker 1: draft and what happens in free agency. Does Seattle do anything?
Speaker 1: What are other teams going to do as far as
Speaker 1: their quarterbacking situations go? That that's what I would keep
Speaker 1: an eye on, because Russ wants a improved line. Do
Speaker 1: they get another wide receiver in there? They get a
Speaker 1: tight end in there? I don't know. And what do
Speaker 1: these other teams do in the draft? Does Sam Darnold
Speaker 1: become available? Does Seattle then change its philosophy on what
Speaker 1: they want in return? If they could trade for Sam Darnold,
Speaker 1: give up the second round pick and get Sam Darnold,
Speaker 1: I don't know, but that's the information I have, and
Speaker 1: I don't have anything else on that. I don't have
Speaker 1: anything on Deshaun Watson. The Athletic had an article that
Speaker 1: said that Carolina is all in on getting DeShawn Watson.
Speaker 1: That would include the eighth pick overall, of course it would,
Speaker 1: but I don't know what else it would And if
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson would want to go back to Carolina. Yeah, Pully,
Speaker 1: these trades don't make sense. Like you said last hour,
Speaker 1: you think that both of these guys will stay because
Speaker 1: if you're Russell Wilson and all of sudden you get
Speaker 1: to the call from your agent says, Hey, you just
Speaker 1: got traded in Chicago and they gave up two really
Speaker 1: good defensive starters and a whole bunch of draft picks.
Speaker 1: Good luck. You know, they're not a super talented team
Speaker 1: that's going to protect him or give him weapons. And
Speaker 1: how is that an upgrade in your life from the
Speaker 1: current situation with the Seahawks Unless he feels like I
Speaker 1: can be involved in decision making. They all look at
Speaker 1: what Lebron has done in free agency with you know,
Speaker 1: as the NBA, and what Tom Brady's done, and Russ
Speaker 1: is looking at this at age thirty two, going, if
Speaker 1: I'm going to be included in the grates of my era,
Speaker 1: I gotta win. And if he feels like that things
Speaker 1: have stalled there in Seattle, then maybe that's where you
Speaker 1: ask for a trade. He hasn't asked for a trade.
Speaker 1: He said, if you are going to trade me, here's
Speaker 1: where I want to go. I didn't like the list
Speaker 1: at all. Dallas wasn't happening, Saints, that wasn't happening. The Bears.
Speaker 1: If I'm Russ, I wouldn't want that to happen. But
Speaker 1: we put them on the list, and then you have
Speaker 1: you know, Vegas Raiders. Can you expand that is he
Speaker 1: willing to open up the possibility of going to the Dolphins,
Speaker 1: going to the Jets. I have no idea, but I
Speaker 1: do know that the Jets and the Dolphins did inquire.
Speaker 1: But understand this, Seattle wasn't even returning phone calls with
Speaker 1: these teams that were on his list. They weren't even
Speaker 1: returning calls. And then the two gms met in North
Speaker 1: Dakota and I think they were there for Trey Lance's
Speaker 1: pro day and I think that's where they had conversations. Okay,
Speaker 1: but I mean this is this is moving, It's a
Speaker 1: moving target here. But do I think Russ gets traded.
Speaker 1: I don't do I think Deshaun Watson gets traded, not
Speaker 1: right now unless unless the Texans go we cannot pass
Speaker 1: on this. And the Bears were reportedly giving giving Seattle
Speaker 1: a deal that they could not refuse. Well they did, yeah, mclub.
Speaker 1: You know, I was look at Mac and Keim Hicks
Speaker 1: is thirty one. I thought he just sort of came
Speaker 1: out of nowhere. So like the kind of older defense, No, no, no,
Speaker 1: once again, we can't do this, and A probably was
Speaker 1: just on a hypothetical. I can't. You can't attach names
Speaker 1: here because then people are gonna say, hey, listening to
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick show, I hear it was a cheam, Hicks
Speaker 1: and Kliemac. I don't know any of that. I don't
Speaker 1: think the offer is that great. And even if it's
Speaker 1: say it was at Alan Robertson or whatever, like, there's
Speaker 1: just like the Bears, like you said, aren't an obvious
Speaker 1: fit with the CEO. Yes, I don't know the players.
Speaker 1: I just know this is what I was told. Two starters,
Speaker 1: three draft picks. That's all three first round picks in
Speaker 1: a third round pick. I've been scouting the Bears really
Speaker 1: closely for Andy Dalton. We have some we have some
Speaker 1: issues on the offensive line. By the way, everybody has
Speaker 1: a byway. Is there a team that doesn't have an
Speaker 1: offensive line issue? Where's everyone going to get these offensive linemen? Well,
Speaker 1: the Niners are a whole lot better and they just
Speaker 1: resigned Trent Williams. Yeah, they feel like they're in good shape.
Speaker 1: But isn't that a rarity? Yes? Yes, if you don't
Speaker 1: have your offensive line, I can take a Hall of
Speaker 1: Fame quarterback and make him look average. Case in point
Speaker 1: the nine in the Super Bowl year ago with Patrick
Speaker 1: Mahomes Tampa. This Super Bowl with Patrick Mahomes, here's the
Speaker 1: great quarterback, and he was average because they put so
Speaker 1: much pressure on him. He had had one good quarter
Speaker 1: against San Francisco, that was it, but he had all
Speaker 1: this pressure on him. If you don't have that offensive line.
Speaker 1: I mean, we never talk about the offensive line when
Speaker 1: guys get signed, like you know, we just sort of
Speaker 1: go all their interchangeable parts. But you know, when Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers has time, Aaron Rodgers is spectacular. Aaron Rodgers did
Speaker 1: not have time against Tampa. Tom Brady had time. Tom
Speaker 1: Brady ended up being the MVP. Like there is a
Speaker 1: correlation here. As great as Lamar Jackson is, or do
Speaker 1: mean throw out all of these quarterbacks, you have to
Speaker 1: have a respectable line. We had Shack Barrett on yesterday
Speaker 1: he said, I knew we were going to win. He
Speaker 1: knew what that offensive line was and wasn't. They had
Speaker 1: injuries there and they took advantage of them. It didn't
Speaker 1: matter how great I got Tyreek Hill, I got Kelsey,
Speaker 1: it didn't matter. If you don't have time. It doesn't
Speaker 1: matter how much talent, it just doesn't. And that's where
Speaker 1: Russ is saying, I could be great, but if I
Speaker 1: don't have time, I'm going to get sacked forty eight
Speaker 1: times again this year. And Mahomes, I'm sure he is saying, look,
Speaker 1: i'll restructure my deal. Can we get me an offensive line,
Speaker 1: which is what he's trying to do. Yeah. Point, and
Speaker 1: you look at the Chiefs. They decided not to push
Speaker 1: it with those two injured guys, and he said, we're
Speaker 1: gonna restart on the line. And I think Kyle Long
Speaker 1: is visiting the Chiefs today. Yeah, and you know, perfect
Speaker 1: timing for a guy like him. They need people. They
Speaker 1: got the guy from the Patriots yesterday, and that's the
Speaker 1: direction they're going. We don't focus on offensive line. It's
Speaker 1: not sexy when you see a mock draft. You don't go, man,
Speaker 1: the Bengals getting that guy out of Oregon Penny Soul. Yeah,
Speaker 1: nobody cares, but you should care. It's just everybody goes
Speaker 1: into the mock draft on who we getting. You know,
Speaker 1: we're getting a wide receiver, get a running back? What
Speaker 1: do we get even even gonna an impactful defensive player? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like you just want the uh, the skill position
Speaker 1: marquee players. Yeah, the club. If the mocks are anywhere
Speaker 1: near right, there is no defense in this year's draft,
Speaker 1: like twelve or the top fourteen or offensive players at
Speaker 1: everyone's mock drafts. Yeah, who's the defensive guy anyone's talking
Speaker 1: about this year? Micah Parsons. But yeah, yeah, he's a linebacker. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's supposed to be top fifteen pick. But is that wishful?
Speaker 1: Reporting by the mock drafters are like, Oh, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: put a wide receiver in a wide receiver. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I've always wondered that if I had a mock draft,
Speaker 1: I would just go, I'm gonna put all the marquee players,
Speaker 1: offensive players, quarterbacks, wide receivers, running backs up here. Oh
Speaker 1: I was wrong with my mock draft. How many clicks
Speaker 1: did I get? So that's the information I have With
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson Junior, the third Russ hasn't said anything. Have
Speaker 1: we reached out to Russ. I've left him alone in
Speaker 1: recent days, but the time will be coming very about
Speaker 1: does he want to get involved in the celebrity bracket shows.
Speaker 1: We did invite him for that. He's got some other
Speaker 1: fish to fry these days, but we did invite him. Oh,
Speaker 1: come on he went to Wisconsin, he'd be good at it.
Speaker 1: NC State's not in his other school. Yeah, Russ should
Speaker 1: be in the celebrity bracket. Chowns. Tell him I won't
Speaker 1: ask him any questions that will help. That is not true.
Speaker 1: I will ask you some questions, all right. So Juwan
Speaker 1: Howard from the Michigan Wolverens will join us, coming up
Speaker 1: on the program. A couple of phone calls. Jesse in
Speaker 1: La joining us on the program. Hi, Jess, what's on
Speaker 1: your mind today? Happy Saint Patty's Day? Well? Thank you? Well,
Speaker 1: I'm calling as a joyous Packers ran because today, yesterday
Speaker 1: the Bears got their quarterback and it's not Russ, and
Speaker 1: that pretty much means that barn injury, the Packers will
Speaker 1: be the champs next year. But I also wanted to
Speaker 1: call because I thought that was a great interview with
Speaker 1: coach Pettino, which is, you know, that's kind of your standard.
Speaker 1: But I also believe he's got one more major university
Speaker 1: stopping him. There's no way today at IONA. So when
Speaker 1: that story breaks and you get him to do another interview,
Speaker 1: can you have Todd drop his best mock headline ever
Speaker 1: on him with a pasta premature Oh no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I can't do that. No we can't jest thank you though.
Speaker 1: Um yeah, that was That was one of Todd's great
Speaker 1: headlines of all time. You should have just done a
Speaker 1: walk off. Never did a mockad life ever did after that. No,
Speaker 1: that was a great one. That was a great one.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm gonna say Patino stays at Iona.
Speaker 1: If he leaves, I'm gonna blast him. But I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take him at his word. He's been through a lot,
Speaker 1: He's accomplished a lot. This should be about the joy
Speaker 1: of just coaching. And if your ego is going to
Speaker 1: drive you someplace else, then then it never stops. And
Speaker 1: I do understand it. There are certain people, even in
Speaker 1: my profession, where you're you get to a job and
Speaker 1: then you start to look at another job. You want
Speaker 1: to move up, you want to move out. I never
Speaker 1: wanted to do it. I liked what I did when
Speaker 1: I got there. But they're coaches who aren't happy unless
Speaker 1: you know they're moving on to another job. And you
Speaker 1: could ask just about all of them. You should have
Speaker 1: just stayed there. That's why I applaud Mark Few at
Speaker 1: Gonzaga he's had opportunities. If you find happiness, and our
Speaker 1: definitions are all different, like what is happy? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't like the word. But are you content? Are
Speaker 1: you satisfied? Are you challenged? You know, it used to
Speaker 1: be coaches stayed. Now the coaches it's like a coaching
Speaker 1: you know, transfer point. But if you do stay, you're
Speaker 1: happy there, You're content, Like you shouldn't be judged because
Speaker 1: you stayed. Oh, Mark fu stayed at Gonzaga. I mean
Speaker 1: Kurt Ferrens stayed at Iowa. If that's if that's your home,
Speaker 1: if you truly tell people and you believe what you're saying.
Speaker 1: All these coaches get there and they say, oh, my
Speaker 1: dream job. I can think of no other place i'd
Speaker 1: rather be. And then you realize, yeah, they've been thinking
Speaker 1: about other places they'd rather be. It's disingenuous. You say
Speaker 1: all the right things and nobody really believes you. Yeah, Paul,
Speaker 1: I think about ten years ago we did a bit
Speaker 1: on the air. We suggested there should be a moving
Speaker 1: company for college and pro coaches where they specialize in
Speaker 1: like discreet moving of people. You know, like Nick Saban
Speaker 1: wants to move from Miami to Alabama, but he doesn't
Speaker 1: want to press getting it. There's a moving company. They
Speaker 1: quietly go to his house in the middle of the night,
Speaker 1: grab all the stuff, and the next day, when he's
Speaker 1: wearing red, when wearing Crimson, he could just he's got
Speaker 1: the moving company set. But don't they have? Isn't a
Speaker 1: moving company called college kids? Yeah? College movers, collegiate collegiate movers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it could be moving coaches, college coaches movers or something
Speaker 1: like that. Uh, Kurt in Ohio, Hey, Kurt, what's on
Speaker 1: your mind today? Hey? What's going on in n Hi? Kurt?
Speaker 1: How you doing, buddy? I'm great? Yeah. Yeah. Ironically, as
Speaker 1: I'm driving up seventy five North Liberty College basketball bus
Speaker 1: just went right past me here. So I might change
Speaker 1: my bracket, but I keep doing my brackets, and somehow
Speaker 1: I always end up with the final four being Big
Speaker 1: Ten teams. And I don't know if it's subconscious Midwest
Speaker 1: bias being a Buckets fan, but I keep coming up
Speaker 1: with Iowa, Ohiowa state team up north in Illinois in
Speaker 1: the final four. I don't I don't think Zaga has
Speaker 1: played the competition that the big tennis player, So I'm
Speaker 1: not Kurt, you should be focusing on the road. Okay,
Speaker 1: Well no, I'm parked now. I'm getting ready to go
Speaker 1: out beers and day. All right, Well, good luck with
Speaker 1: your bracket. Entered the Bracket Challenge there, Kurt, thanks for
Speaker 1: thanks for joining us. I had a former coach send
Speaker 1: me his final four. He had Florida State, Ohio State,
Speaker 1: Illinois in his final four. I forget the other one,
Speaker 1: but it kind of surprised me a little bit there.
Speaker 1: I mean, Illinois didn't Florida State, uh a little bit,
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, Ohio State they took Illinois, you know,
Speaker 1: into overtime there the Big Ten Tourney before they lost.
Speaker 1: I got to figure out the other one that he
Speaker 1: sent me because I thought, you know what, maybe I
Speaker 1: just take that final four. I'm good with that that.
Speaker 1: I hate filling out the bracket, you know, I did
Speaker 1: last year. I had Mario fill out my bracket last year,
Speaker 1: and I think I finished second, but maybe two years ago,
Speaker 1: not last year obviously. But I don't want to know
Speaker 1: who I picked because I just love watching the games,
Speaker 1: and you know, when there's something attached to it. It's
Speaker 1: like when I used to gamble. I never watched a
Speaker 1: game that I gambled on, because guys usually do the opposite.
Speaker 1: Where you got this, Carolina is playing you know, Cleveland,
Speaker 1: and I could put a dime on it. I couldn't
Speaker 1: do it. I could put a dime on it, but
Speaker 1: I couldn't watch the game. Drive me crazy. And even this,
Speaker 1: I don't have anything other than pride or reputation. I
Speaker 1: hate picking games. It drives me crazy. When I picked
Speaker 1: my Super Bowl teams, yes for two, if I wasn't exciting,
Speaker 1: when Grid Gumble would say, let's go out to the
Speaker 1: West Region where there's a big upset in the making,
Speaker 1: but let's take you out to the final minute and
Speaker 1: a half, and that's one of the upsets you picked
Speaker 1: in a thirteen fourth, I'm okay with that. But it's
Speaker 1: when you know who you picked and you're rooting up
Speaker 1: for that underd up to hold on. Yeah, it's it. Uh.
Speaker 1: I don't get any enjoyment out of that. I'd rather
Speaker 1: not know. I just said it, Mary, I don't care
Speaker 1: if I finished last. At least I could enjoy the tournament.
Speaker 1: I'll probably have him do it again this year and
Speaker 1: then I'll be an expert. If I do well, then
Speaker 1: I'll go. Yeah, how am I doing? And the ever
Speaker 1: I could challenge there? Yeah, Micklevin, Yeah, I've found this
Speaker 1: a completely miserable process, Philly. Is it is because I
Speaker 1: don't I just want to watch the games. I just
Speaker 1: love watching the games. I don't need to have my
Speaker 1: predictions out there all right. Twenty after the hour, Juwan Howard,
Speaker 1: I think I gotta say that I got Michigan going
Speaker 1: a long way, right, I got Juwan Howard coming up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I say that I had Iona going a long
Speaker 1: way too when Coach Patino was on with us. Take
Speaker 1: a break here, twenty one after the hour. This is

Speaker 1: Do you care about the Chicago Bears quarterbacking situation now
Speaker 1: that Andy Dalton is there and you missed out on
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson? Hey, what's up? Dan? First of all, I
Speaker 1: want to say thank you for inviting me on your
Speaker 1: show to answer you a question. Yes, I do care
Speaker 1: about the Chicago Bears and what's happening with our quarterback situation.
Speaker 1: I'm the biggest Bear span there is and I'm following
Speaker 1: it closely. No offense to the couch. Their quarterbacks are
Speaker 1: there on the contract. But the Russell Wilson situation sounds
Speaker 1: very very interesting. Now you got Andy Dalton instead of
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. Why are you guys going to get a
Speaker 1: quarter You think you get a good quarterback in your lifetime?
Speaker 1: Come on, well, we have a good quarterback. Mitch is
Speaker 1: a good quarterback. Andy Dalton is a good quarterback. Nick
Speaker 1: Foles a good quarterback. Nick Nick Foles is a super
Speaker 1: Bowl quarterback. I'm talking about a great on the Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame quarterback, Hall of Fame quarterback. You know that's
Speaker 1: still to be you know, determined. So, like I said,
Speaker 1: it sounds interesting, he's truly looking at a Hall of Fame,
Speaker 1: you know, Canton, Ohio appearance. Do you practice it all
Speaker 1: with your team? Nope, nope, No, I don't practice. I
Speaker 1: don't play basketball, man, I let that go. When's the
Speaker 1: last time you played? When's the last time you played?
Speaker 1: I will say maybe four years ago when I was
Speaker 1: an assistant with the Miami Heat and it was a summertime.
Speaker 1: A Sign white Side was the only big and we
Speaker 1: didn't have anyone to guard him, and we only had
Speaker 1: eight guys or seven guys, so just all hands on
Speaker 1: deck to whoever can to help Hassan get to go
Speaker 1: work out. I played four and four with the guys
Speaker 1: and our guarded Hassan white Side. Now, no off, it's
Speaker 1: the Sign and he may tell you a different story,
Speaker 1: but our team won and I had a huge impact
Speaker 1: on the game. Huge. Do you remember your stats from
Speaker 1: that game? You probably do, don't you. Yeah, you know
Speaker 1: you always remember your last game stats. Do you remember
Speaker 1: you're welcome to the NBA moment? Yes, I do. I
Speaker 1: remember My first shot was a you got blocked by
Speaker 1: Dino Roger. I was going to a backdown crab dribble
Speaker 1: and I'm getting ready to going to my move and
Speaker 1: Dino Rodgers that sat on it and I turned to
Speaker 1: my shoulder fake and um, I try to raise and
Speaker 1: shoot it and he blocked the shot. I was like, wow,
Speaker 1: welcome to the NBA, fellow. Yeah, but Dino couldn't jump though,
Speaker 1: Juan and Juan couldn't jump out of it. I think
Speaker 1: two of us. What do your what do your kids
Speaker 1: say when they see you play any of the highlights? Well,
Speaker 1: they do say, okay, Dad, well you was a bucket getter. Um, okay,
Speaker 1: you had a little talent, you had some skill. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, they didn't get a chance to really watch
Speaker 1: me playing to the end of my career. They did
Speaker 1: not quite know the impact that I had on the
Speaker 1: NBA or in college. And you know, luckily that there's
Speaker 1: some folks out there that are still saving some video
Speaker 1: where they're able to see it because back then we
Speaker 1: have VCRs. But but the Fab five gives you immortality, Joan,
Speaker 1: it helps. It helps. The Fab five documentary helped a
Speaker 1: little bit too. It gave me a little street cred.
Speaker 1: How how close was the Fab five to not happening?
Speaker 1: Very close? Because you were kind of recruiting everybody, weren't you? Correct?
Speaker 1: You know, if you go back to my senior in
Speaker 1: high school and no, actually go back further than that.
Speaker 1: My junior year in high school, and Illinois was the
Speaker 1: front runner universe and the University of Illinois at that
Speaker 1: time was coach leu Olsen and I used to always
Speaker 1: every summer go to team camp at the University of Illinois,
Speaker 1: and Jimmy Collins was a lead recruiter, so Illinois gun
Speaker 1: situation with Bruce Pearl, who was an assistant with IOWA,
Speaker 1: and there was a tape conversation with Dionne Thomas, a
Speaker 1: recruit out of Chicago, Illinois area, and that situation sort
Speaker 1: of put a little damper on the plans for me
Speaker 1: to attendant Illinois because my senior year I was waiting
Speaker 1: to see what happened with the NC double A and
Speaker 1: Illinois if they were gonna get any type of violations
Speaker 1: or whatever. And in November was the time that I
Speaker 1: was going to commit, and Michigan moved into being a
Speaker 1: front runner. And then when I recruited to you, well,
Speaker 1: when I committed to the University of Michigan, I started
Speaker 1: to recruit other players like Jimmy King, and I also
Speaker 1: started to recruit Chris Webber extremely hard. And I can't
Speaker 1: take credit for Ray Jackson, he was already committed to
Speaker 1: the University of Michigan. But I can truly take credit
Speaker 1: for Jimmy and Chris. And Chris did a lot of
Speaker 1: recruiting with Jalen and then well, Chris was looking at Duke,
Speaker 1: wasn't he Chris? Chris looking at Duke and Michigan state
Speaker 1: what you know? Izzo said that that's the recruit that
Speaker 1: made him cry, like he lost Webber and he said
Speaker 1: that that's the one that hurt him. M Yeah. Yeah. Well, now,
Speaker 1: you know, as a coach, where you're recruiting and somebody
Speaker 1: can break your heart. Yeah, but I haven't cried yet.
Speaker 1: It's early though. It's like I said, yeah yet, if
Speaker 1: I told you three years ago your team would be
Speaker 1: a number one seed, you'd be coaching Michigan be a
Speaker 1: number one seed. What would you said, well, I would say, Dan,
Speaker 1: we got a lot of work to do. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: you gotta take one game at a time. You had
Speaker 1: a hard time. You you wanted to coach in the NBA.
Speaker 1: You and you and Patrick Ewing you were kind of
Speaker 1: hoping to get a head coaching job. And then that
Speaker 1: was the goal. As I was as an assistant with
Speaker 1: the Heat, the goal was developing and which Eric Spoils
Speaker 1: should do. And you know pat Riley, Data, Fitzdale, Keith Smart,
Speaker 1: Dan Craig, Chris Quinn, all those guys who I was
Speaker 1: learning from, and they were helping me to develop to
Speaker 1: become a head coach someday. And give a lot of
Speaker 1: credit to spo He really was grooming me to someday
Speaker 1: to be a head coach in NBA. And that time
Speaker 1: each it was like the last two years before I
Speaker 1: took the Michigan job. You know, I went on recruiting,
Speaker 1: and I recruiting, I'm sorry, interviews to interview for head
Speaker 1: jobs for the NBA team. But I was always asked
Speaker 1: the question from family and friends if I ever wanted
Speaker 1: to coach college, would I And my answer was always
Speaker 1: Michigan if that job ever came available. That's the only
Speaker 1: school I would coach. Now, you know, it's a dream job.
Speaker 1: My dream came true. Still have a golden coach in
Speaker 1: the NBA. I never ever thought about that. That's the
Speaker 1: past now. Really, I'm so locked in to Michigan Good.
Speaker 1: I love this place and I'm enjoining my experience. I'm
Speaker 1: growing each and every day, growing with my staff to
Speaker 1: become a better coach. I tuned into the game against
Speaker 1: Maryland and that's when the benches cleared. I had no
Speaker 1: idea what happened there. I didn't know until a few
Speaker 1: minutes after there. Have you watched that video of what happened? Oh? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I watched a video because I actually wanted to watch
Speaker 1: it right after I addressed the team, apologize to the team,
Speaker 1: and I wanted to go back and and see, like
Speaker 1: how it all happened. And I knew how it happened,
Speaker 1: but it's like an out of body experience. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: I was totally stunned, and I was also disappointed and
Speaker 1: how I reacted because as the leader of this team,
Speaker 1: and I felt that I should have did a better
Speaker 1: job of controlling my emotions. Well, as you said, look,
Speaker 1: it's take your notes it's in the past. I don't
Speaker 1: want to talk about this anymore with you know, your
Speaker 1: conversation with coach Coach Turgeon. But you know, your team
Speaker 1: rallies around you too, which is the most important part
Speaker 1: because they pick you up. And you know the same
Speaker 1: thing with Patrick Ewing. I mean his team picked him up.
Speaker 1: You know, they went four in a row in the
Speaker 1: in the Big East. Have you talked to Youing? Uh
Speaker 1: this year. I reached out to him right away when
Speaker 1: I saw that they won the Big East championship, which
Speaker 1: is very hard to do in a tough conference. And um,
Speaker 1: you know, there were a lot of you know, I
Speaker 1: would say, these uh, these experts you know, picking youring
Speaker 1: team to really fall out, oh, not even make it
Speaker 1: that far. And uh, coach coach stepped up and his team,
Speaker 1: like you said, they rallied behind him. Um, he prepared
Speaker 1: them and they went out to competed and they competed
Speaker 1: every game. And I'm so happy for him. So I
Speaker 1: hit him up right away, and uh, he hit me
Speaker 1: right back, because you know, I don't know if you
Speaker 1: know this and not Dan I played for Pat He
Speaker 1: was an assistant coach with the Houston Rockets when Jeff
Speaker 1: Van Gunny was our head coach and we had a
Speaker 1: staff of Thibodeau, also Steve Clifford and Pat which was
Speaker 1: a hell of a staff, all head coaches, and Jeff
Speaker 1: Van Gunny was the head coach and Pat and I
Speaker 1: have a great relationship. What if I said that coaches
Speaker 1: have to play in the NCAA tournament, so you got
Speaker 1: to you gotta eat every team's coach has to play
Speaker 1: like five minutes, Like, how would Michigan do against some
Speaker 1: of the other teams that you might be facing. Well,
Speaker 1: I know we on radio and I have to be
Speaker 1: very careful with my words, but this is the competitor
Speaker 1: speaking here. I was put it like this. We're not losing.
Speaker 1: We're not losing. And I have a lot of trust
Speaker 1: and belief in myself and I still train, I still
Speaker 1: work out, but it's never basketball shape. But we're for
Speaker 1: competitors only. Anytime there's any coach that I want to
Speaker 1: lace it up and play one on one, and I
Speaker 1: know Stackhouse, I know he's listening. You know, he's probably
Speaker 1: the only one that I think that will give me
Speaker 1: a little bit of competition because I know he's in
Speaker 1: great shape. He plays pretty much every day. You're not
Speaker 1: worried about Bryce Drew. Stop stop Mark you You're not
Speaker 1: worrying about two little what about you ing too slow?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's my guy. Man, that's good. Do
Speaker 1: you your players ask you about your Michael Jordan moment?
Speaker 1: Do they have? Have they asked you about that? And
Speaker 1: what is your Michael Jordan moment? Yeah? I've gotten a
Speaker 1: question just about a month ago after practice, Terrence Williams
Speaker 1: Junior asked me a Michael Jordan's question about the time
Speaker 1: playing in the dome when Jordan was filming a movie
Speaker 1: Space Jam, and they saw some footage where I was
Speaker 1: playing and we were playing shirts and skins, and they
Speaker 1: asked that you know about you know, my relationship with Michael,
Speaker 1: and and I talked about the brotherhood that we both
Speaker 1: share and how much I've learned from him and his
Speaker 1: work ethic and watching while Michael shooting a movie he
Speaker 1: still was training for NBA season. Talked about how we
Speaker 1: played that night every night, five days a week, pick
Speaker 1: up versus some high level of talents and NBA ball players,
Speaker 1: all stars, hall of famers, you name it. The Jordan's
Speaker 1: all I gave him, you know, all the other stuff. Man,
Speaker 1: I can't give him. Man, you know, I funk Chicago.
Speaker 1: There's this famous word that they say, snitches get stitches.
Speaker 1: But yeah, everybody has that moment where you go, oh, man,
Speaker 1: I'm garden Jordan or Jordan. You know he's gonna say
Speaker 1: something like everybody had a Larry Bird moment that you
Speaker 1: know Bird would say something to people. But did you
Speaker 1: have that moment with Jordan where you probably were in
Speaker 1: the wrong place at the wrong time. Well, I recall
Speaker 1: the time when mj was the president of the Washington
Speaker 1: Wizards and I was a player on the Washington Wizards
Speaker 1: and he practiced one day with us. He's done it
Speaker 1: before more than once, but the first practice, Uh, I
Speaker 1: didn't know he's gonna really practice. And you know, he
Speaker 1: got out there and I still had an impact on
Speaker 1: the game, was very effective out there, and he was
Speaker 1: talking some trash, doing the typical Michael thing, and he
Speaker 1: reminded us that he had beat us in the in
Speaker 1: the playoffs and swept us. I thought that was you know,
Speaker 1: he he hit below the belt. Michael knows how to
Speaker 1: hit below the belt. You know how to push the
Speaker 1: right buttons. Wait, was that the le Bradford Smith game. No, no, okay,
Speaker 1: no that was later. That was the first round when
Speaker 1: it was the Bulls championship team. They won it that
Speaker 1: year and on my team it was myself, Webber, George Morrisson,
Speaker 1: Rod Strickland, and cabu any respectable five. Yeah. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: were a young group. We're very young. Uh See web
Speaker 1: tells great stories about Jordan. He said that they showed
Speaker 1: up at the Chicago Stadium and Mike's you guys got
Speaker 1: off the bus, like I said, man, snitches, get stitches. Man.
Speaker 1: Some stories you just can't tell. I let it go.
Speaker 1: Come on, come on, Mike, I'm not telling that story. Nope, nope, nope.
Speaker 1: Mike's smoking a cigar, sitting on a Lamborghini and then
Speaker 1: he's like, you know who's got a guard? Who's gonna
Speaker 1: guard me tonight? With some language attached to that, right, Hey,
Speaker 1: I'll let Webb tell you that. Um. Hey, congrats on
Speaker 1: the season so far. A lot of fun and no
Speaker 1: you're not fully assembled there with your lineup, but good
Speaker 1: luck in the tournament. Hey, Dan, I appreciate it. Man, um,
Speaker 1: I see that cool shirt you have, so when you
Speaker 1: have time, you just said one of those t shirts.

Speaker 1: I think, oh my good. One was in New York City.
Speaker 1: I was in my cups, as they say, and I
Speaker 1: was playing a pool against some New York City firemen
Speaker 1: who are a large gentlemen. And I'm not very great
Speaker 1: at pool, but sometimes you get a little loose, you
Speaker 1: get a couple of beers in here, you play better
Speaker 1: than you normally would. I've hit about four balls in
Speaker 1: a row and on these firemen, who were playing for
Speaker 1: like five bucks a game really light, and I took
Speaker 1: the rack and put it around the fireman's head and
Speaker 1: said rack him. And he punched me right in the
Speaker 1: face and dropped me like a bad habit. And I
Speaker 1: to completely deserve it. The food that we got today
