Speaker 2: I'm not sure if this is a statistical anomaly or
Speaker 2: maybe this is the trend. You're going to have the
Speaker 2: Big Ten in the SEC. And it's almost as if
Speaker 2: the SEC Commissioner Greg Sank gave his athletic directors a directive, Hey,
Speaker 2: we're more than just football schools. Let's become a basketball
Speaker 2: conference as well. And we have seven SEC teams that
Speaker 2: are still alive. But it feels like this is the
Speaker 2: Big Ten and the SEC against the rest of the
Speaker 2: college basketball world. And I'll talk to Jay Billis about
Speaker 2: what is the future with college basketball. By the way,
Speaker 2: happy Transfer Portal Day today. Of course it should be
Speaker 2: on a Monday, after what happened over the weekend and
Speaker 2: the Sweet sixteen coming up. Why do we have the
Speaker 2: transfer portal during tournament play? Why do we have the
Speaker 2: transfer portal during the bowl season as well? Now I
Speaker 2: know the timing of semesters with schools, but it's just
Speaker 2: a bad look. Imagine if you're coaching in the Sweet
Speaker 2: sixteen and you know, maybe one, maybe two of your
Speaker 2: players would be playing for somebody else. And I could
Speaker 2: envision this scenario, you know, at the end of the game,
Speaker 2: and the coaches walk by and walk by, and the
Speaker 2: players walk by. You imagine a coach, let's say he
Speaker 2: just lost or you just lost, and he'll be like a, hey,
Speaker 2: why don't you get in the transfer portal? We'll see
Speaker 2: you next year. Congratulations, Congratulations, congratulations, Hey, transfer portal, congratulations, congratulations.
Speaker 2: It's just a bad look. You don't need to at
Speaker 2: least you shouldn't have it during tournament time. And I
Speaker 2: guarantee there are players who are playing who will not
Speaker 2: be playing with their school next year. Guarantee. All right,
Speaker 2: we'll have a poll question, Play of the day, stat
Speaker 2: of the day, all of that coming up. Connecticut's out,
Speaker 2: Saint John's is out, Wisconsin's out. Xavier's head coach is
Speaker 2: going to the school that he knocked out in the
Speaker 2: first four as. John Miller is going to Texas. So
Speaker 2: he was at Arizona, had some problems there. Xavier Bailedymount
Speaker 2: got Xavier to the turn. Now he's bolting for Texas.
Speaker 2: Welcome to college athletics at its finest. You know, we
Speaker 2: complain about the these coaches rail about the transfer portal.
Speaker 2: The coaches have been in a transfer portal for decades now.
Speaker 2: It's just it's silly when you hear them bemoan the
Speaker 2: transfer portal because coaches do it all the time. All Right,
Speaker 2: see what's poll question today?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we'll start with the tournament. Obviously, Paul
Speaker 3: sent in one, the NCAA tournament is better with more
Speaker 3: underdogs or heavyweights. I feel like that's a there's a
Speaker 3: sliding scale, but the keyword there is more. You probably
Speaker 3: want more heavyweights typically, but this year it'd be nice
Speaker 3: to have a few more underdogs.
Speaker 2: I can't see John Caliperry in Arkansas as an underdog.
Speaker 2: Anybody is though, I guess, but there's too much money
Speaker 2: in Arkansas, and you know, just you got Walmart money
Speaker 2: down there.
Speaker 3: That's not something said very often, by the way, No,
Speaker 3: but too much money in Arkansas.
Speaker 2: There's one family. There's a family. Yes they have too
Speaker 2: much money, but yes, I don't. I've never viewed John Caliperre.
Speaker 2: Well maybe at UMass he was an underdog, maybe when
Speaker 2: he was in college as a player, But in this tournament,
Speaker 2: I guess he's the underdog. Is he the feel good
Speaker 2: story of this right?
Speaker 3: That's a little plucky. We're just trying to keep this
Speaker 3: magical run going.
Speaker 2: I mean, if this was Arkansas State, then I would
Speaker 2: go okay, yeah, but that's not Arkansas State. It's just Arkansas.
Speaker 2: I think we always want to have that one school
Speaker 2: that gets into the sweet sixteen or lead eight and
Speaker 2: you're able to go wow, George Mason, h look at
Speaker 2: them Loyola. Oh that's great, what a great story, a
Speaker 2: cute story. Then we sort of want to kick you
Speaker 2: to the curb. Then we go, okay, let the really
Speaker 2: good programs play for the championship. What other pole questions
Speaker 2: do we have today?
Speaker 3: What word better describes this year's tournament other than madness?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 5: March sadness. That's for Utah.
Speaker 3: This year is more like March sanity, okay, kind of
Speaker 3: chalk Okay, pretty much. March nil is stacking nil, stacking
Speaker 3: the best teams and crushing the smaller schools.
Speaker 2: As long as it's hyphenated, I'm good with that. We
Speaker 2: always love the hyphenated schools.
Speaker 5: March pretty much what we expected.
Speaker 6: Yeah, doesn't have the doesn't quite ring this out way,
Speaker 6: but yeah, yeah, there's got to be a better word though,
Speaker 6: because it's not really as mad as you'd hope this year.
Speaker 2: But you have to have a literation. It feels like March. Yes,
Speaker 2: March Chalky. That's not a literation, but.
Speaker 7: The judges from March and Chucky, it seems.
Speaker 2: March shocky, March shocking. I'm going to give you a
Speaker 2: bloop for trying that hard this early. March CHOCKI, yeah,
Speaker 2: Mark chucky. It's actually one word. It's the ch and
Speaker 2: March turns into the ch of hockey. Mar MARCHOCKI Mark Chucky.
Speaker 5: Okay, we're gonna put that one on there.
Speaker 2: Toddler, Yeah, the judges will accept that. March Mark CHOCKI,
Speaker 2: March hockey. Yeah. I don't want to say it's been boring,
Speaker 2: and it's been a little more predictable then I would like.
Speaker 2: And you know, you had the Maryland win that was exciting,
Speaker 2: but you haven't had buzzer beaters for the most part.
Speaker 2: You know, a lot of blowouts. But I don't know
Speaker 2: if this is the trend, you know, because we always
Speaker 2: want to be ahead of things. We want to know
Speaker 2: what the trend is going to be the next couple
Speaker 2: of years. Connecticut lost, and uh boy, they're going to
Speaker 2: look at that game film and go, wow, did we
Speaker 2: have wide open looks there? Danny Hurley, the head coach
Speaker 2: at Connecticut, getting emotional talking about his seniors.
Speaker 8: You know, I was in a coach That's why I
Speaker 8: was on the hot seat going into twenty three. You
Speaker 8: got to ask Dave Bennett. But until these men, you know,
Speaker 8: until Alex Carraban put on the uniform in the asidence,
Speaker 8: the players change your life when you and you have
Speaker 8: such special people.
Speaker 2: He's such a polarizing guy. But you know, and I
Speaker 2: was watching with other people and they weren't Connecticut fans,
Speaker 2: they weren't from Connecticut, but they thought that he was
Speaker 2: my coach. Because I live in Connecticut. I go I
Speaker 2: didn't go to Connecticut. I know Danny, but he's not
Speaker 2: my coach. But do you want somebody who is that passionate,
Speaker 2: who cares that that is a past, annoying all of
Speaker 2: those things, but great at what I mean, he cares.
Speaker 2: You may not like the antics on the floor, and
Speaker 2: at times I feel embarrassed for him. He can't change
Speaker 2: and it's not like it happened when he got to Connecticut.
Speaker 2: He was like this when he was at Rhode Island
Speaker 2: or Wagner or when he played. This is who he is.
Speaker 2: And if you think he's animated, you should have seen
Speaker 2: his dad coach high school because his dad was worse.
Speaker 2: But he does care. He's passionate, and he's going to reload.
Speaker 2: They got, you know, three of the top one hundred players.
Speaker 2: He's recruiting some freshmen coming in. He's going to have
Speaker 2: transfer portal kids as well. But I like the passion
Speaker 2: that he has. I don't like when he engages with
Speaker 2: the fans. You know, got fiery. You know during the loss,
Speaker 2: you know you're calling out a foul. Was an egregious call.
Speaker 2: It felt like he was trying to fire his team up.
Speaker 2: I don't know, it just kind of a strange eruption
Speaker 2: from him. But Connecticut, they're going to look at that
Speaker 2: and say, we had our chances, a lot of wide
Speaker 2: open looks. I was accused of East Coast bias as
Speaker 2: I was heaping praise on Rick Pattino all last week.
Speaker 2: He's still one of the greatest coaches of all time.
Speaker 2: He is. They just didn't play well and give Arkansas
Speaker 2: credit there. I mean, we love to give blame. Arkansas
Speaker 2: played well and they took it to Saint John's. Here's
Speaker 2: Rick Pattino on why his best player, r J Lewis
Speaker 2: was benched late in the game. Here's the reporter's question.
Speaker 7: You had RJ on the bench, you know, for a
Speaker 7: pretty long stretch at the end. Was that just because
Speaker 7: he just wasn't making him or was there something more
Speaker 7: to it?
Speaker 9: Played thirty minutes, It's a long time, so he was tired. No,
Speaker 9: played thirty minutes, and I went with other people. You
Speaker 9: already know the answers, Roger, you're asking leading questions. You
Speaker 9: already know it, So don't ask questions. You already know
Speaker 9: why he didn't play.
Speaker 5: Was there one play with RJ that made you sit
Speaker 5: him the last five minutes?
Speaker 9: You know he was three for seventeen. You know he
Speaker 9: was oh for three, So you're answering your own. I'm
Speaker 9: not gonna knock one of my players.
Speaker 2: Okay, he makes it worse by the non answer. In
Speaker 2: my opinion, Rick Betino needs to say he was struggling.
Speaker 2: I sat him down. Now me, if I'm the coach,
Speaker 2: He's still the best player on your team. He's the
Speaker 2: biggiest player of the year. I still want him out there.
Speaker 2: Is he one dimensional at just scoring? I want him
Speaker 2: out there. This game is going to come down to
Speaker 2: the wire. I want him out there. Maybe I tell him,
Speaker 2: let's try to take it to the hoop. Let's try
Speaker 2: to get some free throws here. He's still your best player.
Speaker 2: And that reporter had every right to because I'm watching
Speaker 2: the game. I don't know if this kid is hurt.
Speaker 2: I've watched him play a couple of games this year,
Speaker 2: got to see highlights with him. He gets buckets. But
Speaker 2: I would have said to him, let's get some thing inside.
Speaker 2: Let's try to get a cheap bucket maybe and one
Speaker 2: go to the lawne. You know that's what you want
Speaker 2: with the score. It takes one basket, maybe two, and
Speaker 2: all of a sudden you kick start him. But that
Speaker 2: reporter had every right to ask that question. Look, Rick
Speaker 2: was a little frosty. He just lost to you know,
Speaker 2: Cali Perry, who he doesn't like. But they thought they
Speaker 2: had a Final four team there. They you know, weren't
Speaker 2: good enough to get by Arkansas. Arkansas deserves the credit.
Speaker 2: But Tino is still a spectacular coach.
Speaker 8: He is.
Speaker 2: He's a one of the top five college basketball coaches
Speaker 2: probably of all time. Okay, got his lunch handed to him.
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, resurrecting Saint John's not an easy thing to do.
Speaker 2: No, but he did it.
Speaker 5: It's not easy to get kids to go play there.
Speaker 2: Yes, but he did it. Did a great job. But
Speaker 2: this happens. There's only one team who's going to win.
Speaker 2: That's it. So John Cali Perry could get bounced. Was
Speaker 2: it great year? They started out zho to five. Now
Speaker 2: they're the sweet sixteen. John will join us. Coming up
Speaker 2: the final hour of the program, Jay Billis will recap
Speaker 2: the tournament. Also, we'll talk about Transfer Portal day. You know,
Speaker 2: you can tell the analysts do not like talking about
Speaker 2: the transfer portal. They do not, but it's real. It's
Speaker 2: right there in front of us. It's happening right in
Speaker 2: front of us. It happened right in front of us
Speaker 2: during Bowl season. Kids sitting out because they're transferring, and
Speaker 2: all the whispers, and this is when somebody's going to
Speaker 2: get to somebody. Parents are at these games. Somebody's going
Speaker 2: to talk to somebody about their kid, and you're going
Speaker 2: to have, you know, players coming and going. That's why
Speaker 2: when Danny Hurley sat down for sixty minutes and John
Speaker 2: Wertheim said, how many players do you think are already
Speaker 2: talking about the transfer portal? And he says, I think
Speaker 2: fifty percent. Well, John should have followed up and said,
Speaker 2: how many are you going to bring in? It evens
Speaker 2: out he's probably got fifty percent of his roster coming
Speaker 2: in from the transfer portal. Hey, everybody's a thief in
Speaker 2: this stop.
Speaker 10: Yes, Marvin, I saw a stat of the eighty starters
Speaker 10: in the Sweet sixteen, nearly half came from Nonpower five schools.
Speaker 2: At one point, Well, Florida's best player Clayton was at Iona.
Speaker 2: Now he's going to be a lottery pick. I mean
Speaker 2: it's the kid who was Oakland's best player Townsend, he's
Speaker 2: at Arizona. Get this is unfortunately, for us, because we
Speaker 2: grew up in an era where you stayed where maybe
Speaker 2: it was three years, maybe it was four years. Now,
Speaker 2: what's wrong with you if you leave after you know,
Speaker 2: don't leave after your freshman or sophomore year. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get the down part of it to some degree.
Speaker 3: For smaller schools, however, I kind of feel like you
Speaker 3: have to support kids being able to do that. If
Speaker 3: you're playing at a smaller school and you play really
Speaker 3: well and all of a sudden somebody's like, here's two
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty K to come play at this big school.
Speaker 5: You get to play another year.
Speaker 3: You maybe play yourself in from being that's the end
Speaker 3: of your career to maybe now I'm going to the
Speaker 3: NBA based off this one year that I have at
Speaker 3: this bigger program and I get a little bit of
Speaker 3: money in my pocket.
Speaker 2: I support that all day, all day. This could have
Speaker 2: been mitigated a long time ago. It really could have.
Speaker 2: It's just nobody believed it was going to happen, and
Speaker 2: then it happened, and then all of a sudden, the
Speaker 2: sky is falling. I mean it is. It's just changing athletics.
Speaker 2: College athletics is changing right in front of us. We'll
Speaker 2: talk a little bit more about this with Billis. We'll
Speaker 2: settle on our poll question. Your phone call is always
Speaker 2: welcome every Monday, best and worst of the weekend. We'll
Speaker 2: come back after this Dan Patrick Show.

Speaker 2: All right, we'll settle on our poll question here eight
Speaker 2: seven to seven three DP show. Dan Wolkin, who's been
Speaker 2: a guest on this show, columnist for USA Today. The
Speaker 2: column the headline, Dan Hurley must change. There's no better
Speaker 2: time with Yukon out of March madness spotlight now. I
Speaker 2: don't think he can change. Why should he change? This
Speaker 2: is who he is. But Dan Walkin says, if Hurley
Speaker 2: can conquer all of that, he can find the right
Speaker 2: balance between being himself and steering clear of these unflattering
Speaker 2: moments that make him look like a maniac. Now that
Speaker 2: Yukon's championship run is over, there's never been a better
Speaker 2: time to start. I don't think he can change. This
Speaker 2: is who he is, and it's not like people said,
Speaker 2: all you know, Bob Knight at Indiana, you had people
Speaker 2: look the other way. I mean Bob Knight was different
Speaker 2: than Danny Hurley is. I mean Bob Knight was a
Speaker 2: bully to his players. I think by all accounts, Dan
Speaker 2: Hurley has been a pretty good coach for his players.
Speaker 2: Does he get caught up in the emotion of game. Absolutely,
Speaker 2: and Bob Knight did. The refs, you know they're out
Speaker 2: to get us. Hey, I'm I'm the face of college basketball.
Speaker 2: You know I understand all of this. Dan Hurley's not
Speaker 2: going away. The only you go away when you don't win,
Speaker 2: and he will continue to win. He does have the formula,
Speaker 2: you know. John Caliperi has finally admitted he took too
Speaker 2: many freshmen at Kentucky. I said it, it felt like
Speaker 2: every single year you need to have juniors and seniors.
Speaker 2: You can get a good player from a smaller school,
Speaker 2: maybe it's a you know, mid major, but to get
Speaker 2: that to blend in with the freshman because freshmen will
Speaker 2: act like freshman this time of the year sometimes. And
Speaker 2: now cali Perry said, Hey, I'm still going to go
Speaker 2: after some freshmen, but I'm going to sprinkle in some sophomores.
Speaker 2: And juniors, but he needed to do that. John was
Speaker 2: great at one thing, but it hurt the end result.
Speaker 2: It the finished product, and that was you win one title.
Speaker 2: And I know he'll come on today and he'll tell
Speaker 2: me how many billions of dollars his players in the
Speaker 2: NBA have made, which to me, if I'm a Kentucky alum,
Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't care. Hey, I'm really proud that
Speaker 2: Devin Booker's making forty five million dollars. What does that
Speaker 2: mean for my program? What's that mean for Kentucky? And
Speaker 2: that's what I thought John always missed, you know, he
Speaker 2: lost sight of you got to win games. Yes, you're
Speaker 2: developing the players. Those players are going to make that
Speaker 2: money if there are at other programs. Are you trying
Speaker 2: to tell me that some of these guys who went
Speaker 2: to the NBA, like Anthony Davis wouldn't have benefited or
Speaker 2: you know, made all this money if he played for Creighton,
Speaker 2: I'm guessing probably still would have been formidable. But John,
Speaker 2: I don't think developed those players to the point where
Speaker 2: you got six months to be able to do that,
Speaker 2: And maybe six months is an exaggeration. You need to
Speaker 2: have players who have played you need to have players
Speaker 2: that will transfer in and help you. And that's what
Speaker 2: Dan Hurley has done. He found a blueprint. You're still
Speaker 2: going to get a couple of top recruits, but you're
Speaker 2: going to get those guys who can come in as
Speaker 2: you know, a fifth year senior. Maybe you're going to
Speaker 2: get a couple of upper classmen. Those are the guys
Speaker 2: who help you this time of the year. They don't
Speaker 2: get intimidated. They've been in these situations. And now you
Speaker 2: have Arkansas, which he's got a roster that's not a
Speaker 2: great roster, but it's a roster that may fit what
Speaker 2: they need to do moving forward. Now he might go
Speaker 2: after more freshmen probably, so you know, I think he
Speaker 2: loves the chase. I think he loves to be able
Speaker 2: to say, but Kentucky's different than Arkansas. Unless you're paying,
Speaker 2: Kentucky can pay. But he would get everybody that he wanted.
Speaker 2: It felt like now at Arkansas you're not going to
Speaker 2: But I think this can make him actually a better
Speaker 2: coach because he has to be a better coach. Yeah, pulling.
Speaker 13: It's also a little ironic. I was watching Kentucky yesterday
Speaker 13: and I didn't watch a lot of Kentucky basketball this year,
Speaker 13: and they looked awesome. And you know what else, they
Speaker 13: look like grown men. And so I looked at their roster.
Speaker 2: They have six.
Speaker 13: Guys whoever ten or more points per game, five seniors,
Speaker 13: one junior. There's not a person in their top six
Speaker 13: that's under twenty one years old.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's that moment that went viral when Danny Hurley
Speaker 2: is walking to the locker room and he sees the
Speaker 2: Baylor players, you know, Baylor's playing Duke the game after THEIRS,
Speaker 2: and he goes, I hope the refs don't bleep you
Speaker 2: like they bleep? Does I hope they don't do that
Speaker 2: to you Baylor?
Speaker 13: And bleep isn't for help?
Speaker 2: Yes? Yes see.
Speaker 3: You know it makes the statement weird, isn't that he
Speaker 3: said it to me Necessarily? It's that no one can
Speaker 3: really identify the call that he's upset about. I know,
Speaker 3: like there wasn't an obvious You know, if somebody say,
Speaker 3: I don't know it took three steps and hit a
Speaker 3: game winner and nobody called it, maybe I would be
Speaker 3: upset about that. I'd be like, Wow, they really screwed us.
Speaker 3: But there really isn't that. There's kind of like, a,
Speaker 3: I don't know, Alex Caravan maybe was fouled some point
Speaker 3: in the second half that could have been called, but wasn't.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't really know what the one is that he's like,
Speaker 3: that's the call that really screwed us.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's what surprised me. I'm like, I don't
Speaker 2: know what he's angry about. It felt like he was
Speaker 2: trying to fire his team up. I guess, I don't know.
Speaker 2: And look, coaches can there can be a smaller incident,
Speaker 2: but you erupt because of something that happened prior to that.
Speaker 2: It's not always that boy you went off after that.
Speaker 2: There's it's like if you have an argument with your wife,
Speaker 2: it could be over something silly, but there's other things
Speaker 2: that led up to that that you did, you know,
Speaker 2: get fiery and then it's something silly. Yeah, poem.
Speaker 13: I think Danny Hurley is not used to losing in
Speaker 13: this stage after the past couple of years, and it
Speaker 13: can't be him and it can't be as players, So
Speaker 13: on the way out, it's much easier to blame the
Speaker 13: refs in that moment of anger.
Speaker 2: Now he's going to look at that game film and
Speaker 2: go we had our chances. This wasn't about the officials.
Speaker 2: This was about you guys. Played played well, as he said,
Speaker 2: played with honor, but you missed your shots. You had
Speaker 2: your chance to take down Florida, had your chances. All Right,
Speaker 2: we'll get to phone calls coming up. The play at
Speaker 2: the end of the Maryland game. Was it a travel?
Speaker 2: And what you have called it a travel? Derek Queen
Speaker 2: hits the game winner against Colorado State. I didn't think
Speaker 2: it was travel in today's basketball world, and if you
Speaker 2: watch college I mean, they're doing the same things that
Speaker 2: the NBA does, the way they carry the ball. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's it's basically the same kind of game what I've
Speaker 2: called it in that moment. Now, I wouldn't have I mean,
Speaker 2: that's one of the buzzer beaters that we've had. And
Speaker 2: you know, Queen had seventeen points. You know, he's a
Speaker 2: really good player. He's going to be playing in the
Speaker 2: NBA next year. He got his he got to the hoop,
Speaker 2: you know, they forced him to go left, and he
Speaker 2: went left and then you know, got the jumper, banked
Speaker 2: it in. But I wouldn't have called it a travel.
Speaker 10: Yes, Marph with the naked eye looking at it live,
Speaker 10: it didn't look like a travel until you saw the replay,
Speaker 10: you know, And I was like, ooh, that looks like
Speaker 10: three steps. I know people are gonna say, up gather.
Speaker 10: I said, he gathered that first step. I know two
Speaker 10: more steps.
Speaker 2: Look, I don't like how we interpret travel or giving
Speaker 2: you the gather step. I didn't have a gather step, Like,
Speaker 2: what is that? And all of a sudden you get
Speaker 2: a gather. So I go, yeah, that that's a legitimate call.
Speaker 2: It's not a travel. Would it had been a travel
Speaker 2: ten years ago? Probably? So, yes, Pauline, I think it
Speaker 2: was a.
Speaker 13: Clear travel by rule. But with ten seconds left, I
Speaker 13: always think the refs take a little off the gas
Speaker 13: with calling if he plays like that, And so if
Speaker 13: they're gonna lean, they're gonna lean towards letting them play,
Speaker 13: not saying it's right or wrong. But I think that's
Speaker 13: what happened.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was okay with it. I mean, I've seen worse.
Speaker 2: Let's put it that way. He has time, and slow.
Speaker 14: Motion obviously always makes things in general sports look more egregious.
Speaker 14: And Gene's territora joined the guys in the studio and
Speaker 14: was talking about what if you may not have had
Speaker 14: full control on one of the steps, so you got
Speaker 14: to take one of those steps away if he didn't
Speaker 14: have complete control in his hand. He was trying to
Speaker 14: explain why it wasn't like three full steps or why
Speaker 14: you can wink at that in that situation.
Speaker 2: It's because we've we've expanded. I don't you know, there's
Speaker 2: more leniency. It feels like that they let you get
Speaker 2: away with more things. Yes, I don't know if it's
Speaker 2: as much leniency. I think that's part of it.
Speaker 3: But I think that people, especially say like James Harden,
Speaker 3: he's perfected the steps to the point that it looks illegal,
Speaker 3: but it's not. I think what happened with Maryland was
Speaker 3: a clear travel. But I think that there's other instances
Speaker 3: where it's like, wait, that dude just took like five steps,
Speaker 3: and it's like, no, actually he really just took the
Speaker 3: ones that he's allowed. It just looks like it because
Speaker 3: they're actually that skilled and that talented that they're able
Speaker 3: to do that.
Speaker 2: I'll ask Billis about it what he thought. But I
Speaker 2: guess in today's basketball world, it wasn't a travel it.
Speaker 2: You know, ten years ago it would be yes, see,
Speaker 2: that's why, and those moments too. I love what Gene
Speaker 2: Sterotor does.
Speaker 3: I think he's great at it because I know he's
Speaker 3: not a basketball guy out of college basketball guy's got
Speaker 3: anything basketball guy really, But he speaks referee and all
Speaker 3: he's doing is translating for you. This is what the
Speaker 3: rule book says, and then I can translate how to
Speaker 3: speak referee to everybody else.
Speaker 5: Well, here's what and you're like, wow, that's how these
Speaker 5: dudes look at this. That's crazy.
Speaker 3: You need like an interpreter in between the referee and
Speaker 3: the fan to explain, here's the thought process, here's what
Speaker 3: the rule says, and here's why what they called is correct.
Speaker 2: Aaron in Orange County, Hey Aaron, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 2: All right? Thank you? Erin Paul and Iowa, Hi, Paul,
Speaker 2: what's on your mind?
Speaker 4: Hey Dan?
Speaker 15: Longtime no talk.
Speaker 4: Well after Darren Devrez, native Iowan did not see the
Speaker 4: University of Iowa as attractive enough, The University of Iowa
Speaker 4: Hawkeys are hiring Ben McCollum after one year at Drake
Speaker 4: to be their next head coach. Now, my question is
Speaker 4: Drake prioritizes basketball. It's their only thing on the national stage.
Speaker 4: Really at Iowa, not only is football bigger, but you
Speaker 4: get out drawn in the same arena by wrestling and
Speaker 4: women's basketball, who also has a higher nil Would you
Speaker 4: leave Drake for Iowa?
Speaker 2: Can what he's doing at Drake be sustainable? Does he
Speaker 2: love being there? Look, I'm a loyalist, like I believe
Speaker 2: in that that you know, I stayed way too long
Speaker 2: at ESPN. I don't begrudge anybody if they want to
Speaker 2: go someplace better their lives, and I don't know, you
Speaker 2: know the difference in money you're coaching in the Big ten. Drake,
Speaker 2: he got players, you know that were Division two players.
Speaker 2: It's tough to be able to do that continue to
Speaker 2: do that. But I don't know if it's a better
Speaker 2: move for him. I'm guessing it is, but it was
Speaker 2: only one year. I get disappointed with that because if
Speaker 2: I'm coming to your school to play for you and
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden you're gone. I mean, players
Speaker 2: do go to school to play for coaches, They go
Speaker 2: to play for the style that they play. And this
Speaker 2: is where I'm glad that players, you know, they they
Speaker 2: can decide if they want to go as well. Yeah.
Speaker 3: See, I think the problem before that was players were
Speaker 3: trapped in the school. Yeah, and now they're not, right,
Speaker 3: so now they can move, So to me, that eases
Speaker 3: that problem a little bit of like I was going
Speaker 3: here to play for this coach, and now he split,
Speaker 3: You're not trapped into staying there anymore.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, it used to be, Yeah, just sit out
Speaker 2: a year. Imagine if I said to a coach, you
Speaker 2: can transfer to Iowa, you have to sit out a year.
Speaker 2: But that's what they did to kids because they didn't want,
Speaker 2: you know, total anarchy.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 3: The other thing that I think, too, is that the
Speaker 3: days of it, well that's a football school, so they
Speaker 3: don't care about basketball is over. SEC has seven teams
Speaker 3: left in the sweet sixth, and six of them are
Speaker 3: football schools.
Speaker 2: Jay and Delaware. Hey Jay, what's on your mind?
Speaker 15: Hey DP, good morning, Good morning. One best and two
Speaker 15: worse for the weekend, my last being from Maryland. Of course,
Speaker 15: Maryland having that last second win and first worse un
Speaker 15: C busting my bracket. For some reason. With them making
Speaker 15: it in, I had this feeling that they're going to
Speaker 15: go to like at least the Elite eight, and then
Speaker 15: that's Saint John's and Arkansas game officiating. To me, I
Speaker 15: feel like just TICKI tack fouls and absolutely worse three pointings,
Speaker 15: three point shooting I've seen ever in the tournament.
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, you can shoot yourself into a game
Speaker 2: and out of the game. And these players in college
Speaker 2: aren't good enough, not consistent enough, like you have in
Speaker 2: the NBA. Therefore you can be blowing people out. Everything's
Speaker 2: great shooting threes. Now all of a sudden, you're not
Speaker 2: hitting threes. You're oneing to Gene Sterator was a college
Speaker 2: basketball official, now, of course is the CBS Sports rules analyst,
Speaker 2: but known for being an NFL official. He worked college
Speaker 2: basketball from nineteen ninety seven to twenty eighteen. He was
Speaker 2: in the Big Ten, the Atlantic Ten, the Big East,
Speaker 2: so he knows college basketball and now working as a
Speaker 2: rules analyst for CBS.
Speaker 5: That's my bad.
Speaker 3: I associate him with football for some reason. But yeah,
Speaker 3: clearly he's Yeah, he's qualified to do that. Brady in Indiana, Hi, Brady.
Speaker 16: A dan six foot to twenty five and salty got
Speaker 16: a question for you. You talk about all these mid major
Speaker 16: kids playing in the sweet sixteen, At what point do
Speaker 16: these power coaches start making arrangements like they used to
Speaker 16: do with Juko and say, I'll send you a kid
Speaker 16: for a year and then you can give him back
Speaker 16: to me and we make these backdoor deal.
Speaker 2: I don't rule out anything, Brady, I don't, but who
Speaker 2: knows if that coach is going to be at that
Speaker 2: school when you send that kid back. Hey, we're gonna
Speaker 2: give you a We're gonna loan you this guy for
Speaker 2: one year. These guys are trying to advance from being
Speaker 2: a mid major head coach. Noah in New York, Hi, Noah,
Speaker 2: what's on your mind?
Speaker 7: ADP?
Speaker 2: Real quick?
Speaker 17: I just wanted to thank Dylan and Marvin kindly. The
Speaker 17: second I heard Dylan betting against the u of A
Speaker 17: against Akron, I knew we were through the first round.
Speaker 17: And then Marvin for declining my part of the faith
Speaker 17: bet for his very own two.
Speaker 2: Time champion Yukon, because once they.
Speaker 17: Went down, I knew that bad karma had sweet Arizona
Speaker 17: in the sweet sixteen.
Speaker 2: All right, well, congratulations Noah. I am hearing from some
Speaker 2: Arizona fans They're like, what do you think of the
Speaker 2: Wildcats now? Because hey, as a four seed, good as
Speaker 2: a one seed? Not good? That's always been the problem.
Speaker 2: I'll be like Arizona. You know, this is the year.
Speaker 2: This is the year. And then all of a sudden
Speaker 2: they get bounced ling And I said, I will not
Speaker 2: be fool. If Arizona was the number one seed, I
Speaker 2: would not have bought into them. But it's a four seed,
Speaker 2: and look they advanced. Good for them. It's about time.
Speaker 13: Yes, Paul, it's like you're buying a stock a little low.
Speaker 13: Arizona is a four seed. That's attractive.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's take a break. We'll settle on our pole question.
Speaker 2: It's a two part pole question. Was it a travel?
Speaker 2: Would you have called a travel? On that final play

Speaker 2: Best and worst of the weekend, which you saw that
Speaker 2: you liked you didn't like. Here's Maryland's head coach Kevin
Speaker 2: Willard talking about the final play Maryland and Colorado State.
Speaker 7: I asked the guys, I said, who wants the ball?
Speaker 18: Because sometimes you could draw something up for a guy
Speaker 18: that maybe doesn't want the basketball, and he's his exact words,
Speaker 18: I want the MF ball and so once he said
Speaker 18: that it was a pretty simple decision and everyone.
Speaker 7: I could see everyone's body language.
Speaker 18: It's kind of perk up a little bit because he
Speaker 18: was so confident in that fact he wanted the basketball.
Speaker 7: So it's just a simple Zipper, give him the basketball
Speaker 7: and let him.
Speaker 2: Go to work. Who in their right mind would say
Speaker 2: to their coach in that moment, I don't want the
Speaker 2: MF and ball, Like, I can't imagine that. As a coach,
Speaker 2: you don't have to ask. I mean, this isn't Hoosiers
Speaker 2: with Jimmy Chitwood. Like, coach, I'll make it like this isn't.
Speaker 2: I'm like, that's my best player. He's going to be
Speaker 2: a lottery pick. You get the ball, you guys clear
Speaker 2: out and let him go. That's it. But I can't
Speaker 2: imagine you're going to have, you know, the big man
Speaker 2: going I don't want that ball. I'd be like, once
Speaker 2: you sit next to me, then I can't imagine you're
Speaker 2: taking inventory in a situation like that, who wants the ball?
Speaker 2: I would everybody should have said, I do I want it?
Speaker 2: Stat of the Day brought to you by Panini America,
Speaker 2: the official trading cards of this program. We'll get to
Speaker 2: your phone calls. I mentioned John Caliperry would join us.
Speaker 2: Bill Simmons from The Ringer Jay Billis will join us.
Speaker 2: Coming up next hour. A little bit of football news
Speaker 2: over the weekend. Jamis Winston in New York with the Giants.
Speaker 2: I still think that they're probably going to draft Chador Sanders.
Speaker 2: You got to have somebody, and it's just what's strange
Speaker 2: is you want the veteran to help the rookie. I
Speaker 2: don't know if I want Shador Sanders learning from Jamis Winston.
Speaker 2: He's a character, but I don't know. Aaron Rodgers met
Speaker 2: with the Steelers on Friday, eight hours he met with them,
Speaker 2: guessing there's probably a physical in there. But maybe Aaron
Speaker 2: Rodgers is gonna play football. I know that, you know.
Speaker 2: And we had Diana Russini on, who is an NFL insider,
Speaker 2: and I felt bad because at the very end, I said, hey,
Speaker 2: let's just guess where Aaron Rodgers is going to go.
Speaker 2: I just guess, not a report, kept saying, not a report,
Speaker 2: just a guess. Just well, some members of the media,
Speaker 2: some outlets, treated as if she was reporting that, which
Speaker 2: was unfair to her and wrong by these websites. She
Speaker 2: was guessing. She even said I'm guessing. And I felt
Speaker 2: bad because you know, people are piling on her, and
Speaker 2: all she did was guess that Aaron Rodgers was going
Speaker 2: to end up in Minnesota. That was it. And we
Speaker 2: even kind of went above and beyond to say this
Speaker 2: is just a guess. It's a guess. But people looking
Speaker 2: at that, listening to that, and then it's they want
Speaker 2: this to happen. They want to have something. They're dying
Speaker 2: to talk football. Now. Now a lot of these plays,
Speaker 2: they don't want to be talking college basketball. They want
Speaker 2: to talk football. Give me something to talk football. And
Speaker 2: they got it with Aaron Rodgers. Now you have it
Speaker 2: with Aaron Rodgers with the Steelers. Jameis Winston to the Giants.
Speaker 2: But I still think they're going to take Shador Sanders,
Speaker 2: Tim and Vermont. Hi Tim, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 19: Hi?
Speaker 1: Dan?
Speaker 19: How you doing.

Speaker 20: Lieutenant Wyatt Henderson of the Oklahoma State Cowboys beating Olympic
Speaker 20: gold medalists and two time NCAA Division One National champions
Speaker 20: and Gable steveson it was unreal.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm aware of the story. Paulie is actually going
Speaker 2: to do a look in a little bit later on
Speaker 2: in the show. But yeah, that was a huge upset
Speaker 2: and men's wrestling. I think President Trump was there to
Speaker 2: witness that.
Speaker 13: Yeah, Wyatt Henderson is Oklahoma State and it was He
Speaker 13: basically hit a three pointer to end the match to
Speaker 13: win it. That's one of the greatest wrestlers of all time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think Gable had lost. He won a
Speaker 2: gold medal at the Olympics. Plus his name is Gable
Speaker 2: after Dan Gable. Yes, yes, you're destined. Yeah. So if

Speaker 2: named Atticus. I met somebody who has a child named Poseidon.
Speaker 2: I met somebody who has a son named Attila. Yeah, yes, Todd.
Speaker 14: Is that because the pregnancy was an adventure, they would
Speaker 14: go Poseidon.
Speaker 7: That's an interesting name to go with.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Todd.
