And that's one of the things that it's 24 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 3: been interesting to watch the evolution. And we've talked a 25 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 3: lot of college buckets related in college football related to nil, 26 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 3: the changing face of the game for players and transfer 27 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 3: rules and dollars and cents. But a couple of years 28 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,320 Speaker 3: ago there was the fear that you were going to 29 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 3: have this exodus of all of the old learned wise 30 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 3: coaches because you saw Jay Wright, you saw Shrzyzewsky, who 31 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 3: might have been at that tipping point age wise, but 32 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 3: still was not a fan of where things were going. 33 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 3: So he taps out John Shire at thirty eight years old. 34 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 4: Jim beheiman hill stuff now. 35 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 3: Right, Bill self, we're still waiting to find out what 36 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 3: all goes on there, right, But conjecture that maybe he 37 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 3: walks away. But all of that to say that we 38 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 3: do still in the tournament, have great representation. We do 39 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,519 Speaker 3: just sixties sixty plus and several in their seventies. 40 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 5: You know, Nick Saban would still be coaching if you 41 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 5: didn't have to deal with NIL. I just don't think 42 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 5: that these, you know, nil is actually harder, I believe 43 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 5: for the coaches than just going to the kids' living 44 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 5: room back in the day and having them try to 45 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 5: go to their school. It's it's completely different now. And 46 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 5: you're right, you have to not only convince kids to 47 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 5: come to your school every year, you got to convince 48 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 5: the ones that are there right now to stay. So 49 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 5: I don't think a lot of coaches want to deal 50 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 5: with that anymore. 51 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, but some of it just goes to the infrastructure, 52 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,519 Speaker 3: Like you've always had to do the recruiting game, and 53 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 3: scholarships are not. 54 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 4: Hey, now you've got to pay years. 55 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 3: Yeah, right now you're working to a budget insert tangentially 56 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 3: with a laugh and a knowing smile that and maybe 57 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 3: a nice wink like I'm in a movie that you know. 58 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 3: Some folks were always working to a budget. But that's 59 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 3: a whole other thing. But you're looking at just if 60 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,679 Speaker 3: you build the right infrastructure for a coach, perhaps it's 61 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 3: not as difficult as it would have seen three to 62 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 3: five years ago, right because it turned, no question about it. 63 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 3: It's a whether it's that soft left turn or a 64 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 3: sharp one. In the initial part of this change across 65 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 3: the sports it was seen as such a breakneck thing. 66 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 5: The sharp left turn doesn't work. You said, we see 67 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 5: it doesn't work. 68 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 3: Well, it's how you navigate it, right, I mean. And 69 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 3: for some teams and coaches, whether it's they have a 70 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 3: deeper pocket alum that can get on board. 71 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 5: What about for BYU did it pay? You have the 72 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 5: number one player in the country. They finished in what 73 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 5: ninfe place in the Big twelve. 74 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 3: Well, that's the unfortunate side of it, right, There's always 75 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 3: going to be examples of where that goes wrong. But 76 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 3: you can say, hey, we have the number one guy 77 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 3: in the game, so you can be that guy here. Now, 78 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 3: team's success. Again, We've talked about this at any level, 79 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 3: even in your rec league, Arny. Some folks care about 80 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 3: the w less than whether they get five shots up 81 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 3: in the game. I'm just saying, well, I mean, I 82 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,479 Speaker 3: wasn't pointing a finger, but if you feel seen like 83 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 3: you're looking in the mirror insert Man in the Mirrors 84 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 3: song here. But it's just that that idea of players, 85 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 3: as long as they're getting playing time, eyeballs on their 86 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 3: game and opportunities to make bank either through their nil 87 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 3: deals and you know whatever ancillary business deals are out there, 88 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 3: shoe deals that are now coming into focus and whatever 89 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 3: else that you know that that's the retention and that's 90 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 3: the pitch and in the those living rooms. But I'm 91 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 3: happy that we did not see I'm giddy about it, actually, 92 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 3: you know, seeing Izzo and Patino. Cali Perry is like 93 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 3: a junior member of this group. Calvin Sampson even though 94 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 3: he's gonna go out tonight to Underwood unless something changes 95 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,840 Speaker 3: here in the final one forty four, still holding on 96 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 3: to a nine point lead, but houston On tend to 97 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 3: run inside these last two minutes. But all of that 98 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 3: to say that these guys didn't all turn and run 99 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 3: right and adapted with the times. And if you've seen 100 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,359 Speaker 3: any of the clips, it's been really fun. Just the 101 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 3: hard coaching style, you know, to the lamentation of kids, 102 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 3: their parents and everybody around programs getting soft. 103 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 4: How's the coach like that? How's the coach of what 104 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 4: was it? 105 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 5: Embedded from Santa Clara was up there thirty two years 106 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 5: and now he's going to go to Arizona State, which 107 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 5: I think is a phenomenal move by Arizona State. That's 108 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 5: just a fantastic hire. And now there's going to be 109 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 5: like true rivalry there. But that was a great hire 110 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 5: by them. 111 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,599 Speaker 3: Yeah, looking at what Randy Bennett, right, Yeah, so guys 112 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 3: that are that are lifers. 113 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 4: He's like sixty something years old. 114 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 3: But that's just it, right. Everybody's always looking for another opportunity, 115 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 3: another chance to be heard, seen, to make their imprint, 116 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 3: whether it's the they just love coaching and that's what's 117 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 3: in their blood, imparting knowledge and helping the players, you know, 118 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 3: the altruistic side of it, which again altruism to me 119 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 3: oftentimes the four letter words, because like most folks, have 120 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 3: some motivation to it. It's not all out of the 121 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 3: goodness of your heart. It could be ninety five percent, 122 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 3: but at least five percent of that is well, someone's 123 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 3: gonna tell me how how great I am or or whatever. 124 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 3: That is. Not to mention millions of dollars coaching, but 125 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 3: looking for that next challenge. The fact that we have 126 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,720 Speaker 3: so many of these long term coaches still in the 127 00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,479 Speaker 3: game and coaching at such a high level where we're 128 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 3: getting these these big runs in the tournament shows that 129 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 3: you can make that transition and not all is lost. 130 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 3: So many had lamented these last couple of years and. 131 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 5: It's good for the game because we like watching them, 132 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 5: their their characters, what they are. We still enjoy them, 133 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 5: to be honest. 134 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 3: Well, they're the main stays of all of it, right, 135 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 3: the players come and go. 136 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, like eve, even in. 137 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 3: The old days, right, you know, the Hey, I got 138 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 3: to know this squad, and that was part of the appeal, right, 139 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 3: especially if you had. 140 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 5: Well bring out the old days like you just could 141 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 5: you imagine North Carolina, Kansas available back twenty five years ago, 142 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 5: that it'd be all over the place. 143 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 4: We be talking about it for months. 144 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 3: But let's but let's just let's just stay with the 145 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 3: North Carolina Carolina job for a second, right, as we 146 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 3: wait as to whether Bill self actually leaves or not, right, 147 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 3: because that's not a done deal. 148 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 4: Well, he's leaving. It's it's it's a done deal. He's gone. 149 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 3: You just decided. He said, it's no news, bad info, 150 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 3: and baby's someone jumped the gun. Maybe someone had the scoop. 151 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 3: But he's not done yet. Okay, Okay, doesn't mean that 152 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 3: that doesn't change by a lot of right, I don't know. 153 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't see him staying, but that's his choice him. 154 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's his choice. I like that, Like I've 155 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 3: decided that he's done. Even if he has, that's pretty 156 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 3: bunny that his choice. But for Hubert Davis at North Carolina. 157 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 4: Terrible fire, they should not have done that. 158 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 3: Well. See, and that's where I think I allow me 159 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 3: to retort, is that you had a pattern. And I 160 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 3: know Caleb wi Wilson didn't play best player. 161 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 6: For a championship a couple of years ago. Also, that's 162 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 6: several years back. How how many years do you get 163 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 6: to run off? Well, I mean they've missed the tournament 164 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 6: since then, and then they've had multiple big time games 165 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 6: that they've blown what double digit leads fifteen to nineteen 166 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:56,679 Speaker 6: points in this particular. 167 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 3: Case, So it out. 168 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 4: So if you're sakeing all comes down to one game. 169 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 4: That's what bothers me because theyve it. 170 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 3: Isn't that what we've been doing forever? If you don't winn, Yeah, 171 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 3: but if you don't hortality. 172 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 5: The whole tortality of the situation, not one game, Mike, 173 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 5: that's not what you do. 174 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 3: But if you lose in that fashion multiple times in 175 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:20,559 Speaker 3: the NCAA tournament, that's a pattern. Don't you need to 176 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 3: get out of that pattern? You're telling me you can't 177 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 3: get over You can be good but not great. 178 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 5: No, because if they win that VCU game. But they 179 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 5: were talking about that, you're. 180 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 3: What they didn't They blew another nineteen point. 181 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 4: Lead, right right right. 182 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 3: It's the latest in a long sample size for Hubert Davis. 183 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 3: Look at he might be the nicest guy in the world. 184 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 4: I don't. 185 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 3: I don't pretend to know the man. 186 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 4: Well, they didn't have plan be available though. 187 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 5: What now they're trying to find out who they're going 188 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,439 Speaker 5: to get, and I keep hearing you know, Tommy Lloyd's 189 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,559 Speaker 5: the from Arizona is like the. 190 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 3: First well, because the other guys had already said no, 191 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 3: right you had. Brad Steve and Billy Donovan were the 192 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 3: two names that jumped to the top of the odds 193 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 3: board really fast. And I agree with you. 194 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 5: If you're gonna make that happen. 195 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 3: Well we'll see if he has a star. Jefferson's still 196 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 3: having great pain trying to go through the paces ahead 197 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 3: of their matchup tomorrow. I have Iowa State winning it all. 198 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 3: So this is bad for the fact that he got 199 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 3: hurt as the tournament started, like throw my pen in 200 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 3: the air. But it's uh, what what are you gonna 201 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 3: do I was in I was tied for first place. 202 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 3: I took the screenshot after first weekend. But you know, 203 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 3: for the North Carolina, I agree with you that you 204 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 3: should have had plan be more solidified, but. 205 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 4: But you really couldn't because the season still going on. 206 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 3: Well, but that's the hard part, right. You may have 207 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 3: intel that you like your bill self is done. 208 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 4: Bit. 209 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 3: You may have intel that tells you, hey, this guy 210 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 3: would love to sit down with you, but he can't 211 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 3: until after this round or after this game. You know, 212 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 3: there's and iron. You can't even really get through the 213 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 3: agent at this point, you know, for any of that, 214 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 3: you know, to really be substantive whatever the buyouts are, 215 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,680 Speaker 3: because that that's the other thing. Hubert Davis had no 216 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,079 Speaker 3: money left on his deal. What was it five or 217 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 3: six million that was guaranteed, Like that's nothing. I don't 218 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 3: know what was well, but I mean that that was 219 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 3: that was the report was that was somewhere between five 220 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 3: and six million dollars. That that's pocket change. No sure, well, 221 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 3: I mean when we're talking about these institutions and big 222 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 3: that well, but that but that's it. But like remember 223 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 3: Mick Cronan when he threw his guy out out of 224 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 3: the gym and was becoming unhinged multiple times. And that's 225 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,679 Speaker 3: part of it. It's the character that is Mick Cronan 226 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 3: and lean into who you are, whoever you are. Now, 227 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 3: if you're a jerk, I can't just say, well, that's 228 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 3: just who that guy is. No, No, you're a jerk. 229 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 3: And and if you own it, fine, but you don't 230 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 3: excuse it. But for Mick, does he love his guys? 231 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 3: I think so to a degree. But his buyout was 232 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 3: even and after this year was still in the twenty 233 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,719 Speaker 3: million dollar range. One of their main benefactors is I 234 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,439 Speaker 3: don't know if you know in a little bit of 235 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 3: legal trouble and you'll leave it at that. So I 236 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 3: don't think you're getting free cash out of there to 237 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 3: buy your way out of any issue. If you wanted 238 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 3: to mix a good coach. This is year seven. Yeah right, 239 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,680 Speaker 3: and again you haven't gotten over a to B and 240 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 3: here we are, so you got it waste well, but 241 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 3: then you you make a big deal you decided to 242 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 3: go to the big ten as, but you can't complain 243 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 3: about it thereafter of wow, this tough road trip.

Purdue 335 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:10,680 Speaker 5: is going to be a tough team. I'm worried about 336 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 5: that Oscar Klumpf guy in the middle. But Mo Crevius, 337 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:19,239 Speaker 5: I believe certainly canutralism. You can't let the officials, you know, 338 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,640 Speaker 5: allow the fouls to get out of hand, because then 339 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 5: they start putting these guys on the bench. That's what 340 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,400 Speaker 5: happened today in that game. The two big guys got 341 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 5: in foul trouble. Can't have that, well, that's just it. 342 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,880 Speaker 3: Though you work the ball inside perdue the seventy nine 343 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:38,159 Speaker 3: to seventy seven win over Texas final seconds. You're the 344 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:42,160 Speaker 3: guy you mentioned, Oscar cluff I had a foul called 345 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,640 Speaker 3: on him. That was how should we say, in my opinion, 346 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:49,640 Speaker 3: suspect at best that led to a three point play 347 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 3: to tie it at seventy seven. Come back down the 348 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:57,639 Speaker 3: other way. Volcatitis was on the bench. He was on 349 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,679 Speaker 3: the bench because he had four foul files back in, 350 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 3: which meant you suddenly have Braden Smith, your all time 351 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 3: leading assist man in NCAA history. He holds the ball, 352 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 3: goes and takes it down into a final shot opportunity, 353 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:17,640 Speaker 3: and there's no big man under uh to stop the pressure. 354 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 3: So you get the big play from Kaufman rens it 355 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 3: in right. But he was over that guy's back, right, 356 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,120 Speaker 3: you called the soft fall on the other end, And look, 357 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,639 Speaker 3: I think there are both no calls in a grand scheme. 358 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 3: But if you're gonna call that a fall where the 359 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 3: guy's kind of along for the ride, if anybody was 360 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 3: a fall on the maybe on the reach, but certainly 361 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,399 Speaker 3: not on the shot. But then you come back the 362 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 3: other way and and Kaufman Wren is clearly over the 363 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 3: guy's back and pushing him under to get leverage and 364 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:51,360 Speaker 3: space for the tip in that ultimately gives Purdue the win. 365 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 3: I think you swallow the whistle. 366 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,959 Speaker 4: In horrible in that game. And I didn't have a 367 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:57,640 Speaker 4: dog in the fight. 368 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 5: But they, you know, they do get away with a 369 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 5: lot of stuff called too many fouls on Texas got 370 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,120 Speaker 5: their big man in the foul trouble that komf got 371 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 5: the foul trouble A. 372 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,479 Speaker 4: Just just a bad job officiating in that one. 373 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, he ultimately filed out on that play that I 374 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 3: mentioned under the basket in those final seconds. All in 375 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 3: eighteen fouls on Texas fourteen on the boiler Makers, forty 376 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,639 Speaker 3: eight percent from the field were perdue fifty two percent 377 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 3: for Texas, just eight of fifteen from the foul line. Hey, 378 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 3: there's your there's your margin fifteen of twenty where the 379 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 3: boiler Makers who shot just four of twenty from three 380 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 3: point range but ultimately get the w seventy nine seventy seven, 381 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 3: setting up the date with your Wildcats. 382 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,160 Speaker 5: And that's gonna be the late game on Saturday. Iowa 383 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 5: and Illinois will be the six o nine Eastern the 384 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 5: first game on Saturday evening. 385 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:57,439 Speaker 4: So that's what we got going there for. 386 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 3: Big Ten making their their presence known.

The delaying 401 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 3: and holding back a year, right, stuff that might have 402 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,400 Speaker 3: been done kindergarten. Are at our kids not reading at 403 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 3: the level we want, or you know, he's small or 404 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,679 Speaker 3: small for their age whatever. We'd seen some of that, 405 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,639 Speaker 3: right developmentally at that at the early ages, maybe you 406 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 3: have a little bit of that. And as kids get 407 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 3: older and maybe they start showing a little bit of 408 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,640 Speaker 3: proficiency in a sport, that it became the well, hold 409 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 3: him back a little bit to give a competitive advantage, right, 410 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 3: bigger and more physical. We're talking about you know, you're 411 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,160 Speaker 3: playing like my daughter's you know league that she's in. 412 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,439 Speaker 3: It's like, all right, here's the eight So you have 413 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 3: to be born within a certain date range to participate 414 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 3: at that level, and so on and so now the 415 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 3: next iteration obviously became the well, if he's going to 416 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,439 Speaker 3: dominate and he's bigger, and it's the extra year in 417 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:45,159 Speaker 3: high school, bigger, This transcends to a hey, if he 418 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 3: can play at the collegiate level and the grades are 419 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 3: good enough and all of that, that maybe there's an 420 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,159 Speaker 3: opportunity for a scholarship. Well, now, it's not just the 421 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 3: scholarship we're talking about, Hey, let's try to break the bank. 422 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 3: So the short term investment like you would make in 423 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 3: the extra classes, the tutoring, all of those centers that 424 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 3: have popped up all over the nation, overtime, math, science, 425 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 3: et cetera. That now you're also looking at the well, 426 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 3: it's worth the extra year at school XYZ and whatever 427 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,680 Speaker 3: it costs to do it, because maybe there's a massive 428 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 3: payout on the other side, not just hey, junior can 429 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 3: get a year or more of college, but also maybe 430 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 3: gets a seven figure in signing bonus. 431 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 4: It's a bad idea. It's a really bad idea. 432 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,879 Speaker 5: First of all, you got to take a look at 433 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,680 Speaker 5: the math kids that are in high school. To go 434 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 5: ahead and play Division one sports is and I didn't 435 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:43,919 Speaker 5: even realize it, so I, you know, I had to 436 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 5: deal with my kid trying to play hockey is so minuscule. 437 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 4: The openings are not as big as you think. 438 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 5: You know, you're saying to yourself, Wow, you got football 439 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 5: and a hundred kids are on a team, and you 440 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 5: got so many teams and there's over you know, a 441 00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 5: couple hundred teams in basketball. 442 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,159 Speaker 4: But you know, you really do the math. It's not 443 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 4: what you think. 444 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,639 Speaker 3: Well for football, it's seven percent, you know, right and 445 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 3: play at the collegiate level, but less than two percent 446 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 3: to move on to Division one where the right right 447 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 3: and scholarships for that right. 448 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 5: And you know, your kid has to be really, really 449 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 5: good to be worried about getting nil type of money 450 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,640 Speaker 5: in football or basketball. I don't know about the other 451 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 5: sports at this point, about baseball or hockey or anything 452 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 5: like that, but you have to be really good to 453 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:32,679 Speaker 5: get that type of money. 454 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,920 Speaker 4: And you know, with the influx of a lot of foreigners. 455 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:41,879 Speaker 5: You know, coming into play college basketball overseas Europeans and 456 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,880 Speaker 5: also people coming back from like G League stuff, it's 457 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 5: just too tough to go ahead. And you know, be 458 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:53,439 Speaker 5: a star in college basketball, you really have to stand 459 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 5: out like a Cooper Flag. Otherwise it's really not worth 460 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 5: it and you should just you know, stay the course 461 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 5: and worry out other things. 462 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 3: Well. And that's the thing, right, it's the maturity of 463 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 3: the kid, not just from the physical side of things, 464 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 3: because you're you're gonna do the comparison of like why 465 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 3: am I a year older than my classmates or a 466 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 3: year and a half or whatever, So you know, there's 467 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 3: something to the psychology of it that comes into play. Look, 468 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:23,440 Speaker 3: my daughter's my older one is twenty and the younger 469 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 3: one's seventeen, coming up on eighteen. Year at the end 470 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 3: of June. I just remember when the older one was 471 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 3: finishing grade school, there were a couple of the parents 472 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,439 Speaker 3: that they thought their kids were hockey prodigies, so they 473 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:36,160 Speaker 3: held them back. 474 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 4: It's always like that with the hockey players. It's always 475 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 4: like that. 476 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 3: Did you consider it at any point? Aren't he? 477 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:45,919 Speaker 4: I mean no, But you not. 478 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 5: To make this say more because you're like you said, 479 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,119 Speaker 5: show it's all about the years. 480 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 4: You know. 481 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:53,680 Speaker 5: We don't even call him by his name. We just 482 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,199 Speaker 5: called him in ninety seven. You know, what's your kid's name, 483 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,880 Speaker 5: ninety seven. It's all about that. So no, we never 484 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 5: we considered it. Really, your chance has come when you 485 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 5: get to college, and then after you leave college. There's 486 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 5: so many professional leagues in hockey. It's amazing. You can 487 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 5: go to just so many cities in Europe and overseas. 488 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 5: If you really want to play for a long time, 489 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 5: you can well. 490 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,400 Speaker 3: And that's the thing, right, and again it goes back 491 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 3: to the maturity of the kids. So maybe the extra 492 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 3: year helps in that regard of you know, focus and prospects, 493 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:30,360 Speaker 3: et cetera. If you're willing to go make that that leap. Right, 494 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 3: there's a lot of professional basketball leagues now, there's many 495 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:38,400 Speaker 3: of them where good luck actually extracting your paycheck right 496 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 3: of those stories. But I remember guys at Northwestern and 497 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 3: I love them dearly, but they weren't particularly good, but 498 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 3: they were tall and went and had fantastic lives overseas 499 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:50,920 Speaker 3: for a couple of years. 500 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 4: You could do it. 501 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 3: They made pretty good money. Housing was paid, meals were paid, 502 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,920 Speaker 3: all of those things to where it. 503 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 4: Coaches just do that. 504 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's just it. It's job opportunities if you want 505 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 3: to stick with the field. It's like, I mean, to 506 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:10,439 Speaker 3: a what the same extent, it's job chasing in our field, 507 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 3: aren't he? You know, we're not always blessed to be 508 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 3: able to stay in the same spot, the same roles, 509 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:21,439 Speaker 3: same opportunities. It's a mutating business, no question about it. 510 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 4: Day to day, that's sure. 511 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,119 Speaker 3: But it's the same thing, right, Are you willing to 512 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 3: go that next step and stay with it or you know, 513 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:32,879 Speaker 3: at what point is the cost mental, physical, family, relational. 514 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,959 Speaker 4: It's too much of a cost. You're you're damaging your 515 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 4: kid too much? Is that something I would do? 516 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 5: I can't believe that this is going to be like 517 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 5: a common practice even among adults. This is just wrong 518 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,679 Speaker 5: to do. Just keep your kid in the grade that 519 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 5: he is. If he's really that good, he'll excels somewhere 520 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 5: along the line. You can't really worry about nil money anyway. 521 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:59,120 Speaker 5: That's you know, so far fetched to begin with. And 522 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 5: you know what, if you're it is smart enough, it 523 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 5: gets a college degree, he'll be able to make his 524 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 5: own money. 525 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 3: Well. And that's the initial thing, was the quest for 526 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 3: a scholarship, as I alluded to, you know the classmates 527 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,919 Speaker 3: of my daughters, and it's the same thing. Right, it's 528 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 3: still just a very small percentage, doesn't mean it's not attainable. 529 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 3: And depending on what you also want to do and 530 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,679 Speaker 3: how academically minded you are in the process. Right, if 531 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,400 Speaker 3: it's all sports sports, sports, that's great, but you know 532 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 3: that then you'll take whatever offer comes and goes from there. 533 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,719 Speaker 3: But if you're being discerning of hey, this doesn't align 534 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 3: with what I want to do for my future, and 535 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:45,400 Speaker 3: I'll speak to that personally, it just becomes a all right, well, 536 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:49,199 Speaker 3: this school doesn't work because they want to dissuade you 537 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 3: from this course of study because practices lab versus lab 538 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 3: time and all of those kind of things. Those decisions 539 00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 3: have to be made as well. So you might be 540 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,919 Speaker 3: on the board to where you can go find yourself money, 541 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 3: but academically it doesn't match up with what you want 542 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,880 Speaker 3: to do, you know, which is a much smaller sub section, 543 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,119 Speaker 3: but it's still, you know, part of the equation. 544 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,880 Speaker 5: We proved that leaving kids behind is not the way 545 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,159 Speaker 5: to do it. Remember no kids left behind? Remember that 546 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 5: rule that was a slogan in these school systems, no 547 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,920 Speaker 5: kids left behind. We're gonna push it to the next 548 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,199 Speaker 5: grade because when we left kids behind, they felt like 549 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 5: outcast and they ended up quitting school and didn't want 550 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,640 Speaker 5: to go back anymore. Not that you know, pushing kids 551 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 5: that don't deserve to go throughs any better, but it 552 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:35,920 Speaker 5: certainly better psychologically. 553 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 3: Well, a lot of it is just trying to figure 554 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 3: out where the the aptitudes are, the interests and that 555 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 3: investment which teacher to teach your school to school district 556 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 3: and go on down the line is going to vary, 557 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 3: you know, in level of importance. 558 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 4: And we move kids up that are smart. We move 559 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 4: kids up that are smart, we never say anything about that. 560 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 3: Well, some of that becomes theory testing of how much 561 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 3: can you handle? And I mean I'd be curious for 562 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 3: those if. 563 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 4: You Dookie Howser, but that well you leave Neil. 564 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 3: Patrick Harris and that fine fantastic show alone.

But but all of that to say, 567 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 3: I mean, where I and it's probably out there, but 568 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 3: some of those studies of what effect and impact did 569 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 3: that have on them as people? While they might have 570 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 3: been high achievers in school, once they got into the 571 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 3: quote unquote real world, you know, how did they ascend 572 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 3: to their what struggles did they have, et cetera.

I don't know if you caught this 721 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:35,080 Speaker 3: one ARREADYE, but Caleb Williams was trying to trademark Iceman. 722 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:40,440 Speaker 3: I did this this moniker, Yeah, something that was conferred 723 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:45,760 Speaker 3: upon him given all of the comeback issues and opportunities 724 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,279 Speaker 3: afforded by the Bears. In other words, their defense wasn't 725 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,440 Speaker 3: really good and put them in positions where he had 726 00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:54,200 Speaker 3: to be well nothing short of a miracle worker. Well, 727 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,360 Speaker 3: I knew it would eventually pop up, because in popular 728 00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:01,840 Speaker 3: pop culture, and certainly basketball and sports culture at large, 729 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:05,880 Speaker 3: we know there has long been an Iceman, and that's 730 00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:07,239 Speaker 3: George Gervin. 731 00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:09,239 Speaker 4: And he can figure roll. You understand that. 732 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:12,880 Speaker 3: One thing I could do. His finger rolled nicely done. 733 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,640 Speaker 3: One of the great commercials of our time. Go back 734 00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,000 Speaker 3: in the day now Gervin quote, I've got nothing but 735 00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:21,440 Speaker 3: respect for Williams. He's already proved his greatness and his 736 00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 3: potential upside is great, like an Ice and Iceman. But 737 00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,239 Speaker 3: remember that name is taken saying you. 738 00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:30,239 Speaker 4: Want to buy it from me. But if you want 739 00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:31,399 Speaker 4: to buy it from me, no. 740 00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:33,279 Speaker 3: But that's the thing. He never trademarked it, so he 741 00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:33,920 Speaker 3: doesn't know it. 742 00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:35,880 Speaker 4: Wow, he never. 743 00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:40,000 Speaker 3: And that's where the problem is, it says he filed. 744 00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:45,000 Speaker 3: Four days after Williams filed, Gervin filed his applications for 745 00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:52,640 Speaker 3: Iceman and Iceman forty four. So Gerald BARISONA. 746 00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:54,759 Speaker 4: But nobody knows Williams Iceman. You know that well. 747 00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:59,080 Speaker 3: But you're you're trying to build your your legend, right, 748 00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,919 Speaker 3: you're trying to build that into yourself. And if people 749 00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:05,400 Speaker 3: are gonna start making Chochke's t shirts and hats and 750 00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:09,040 Speaker 3: whatever else with that and your likeness, you want your 751 00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,600 Speaker 3: cut right, you want you want to protect it. You 752 00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,120 Speaker 3: want to make your money. It's like you know, Lebron 753 00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:18,600 Speaker 3: James calling himself king and things like that, and. 754 00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:23,400 Speaker 5: It doesn't make any money on that though, Lebron on 755 00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:24,440 Speaker 5: the word I'm. 756 00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:28,640 Speaker 3: King, on the king James merch how much. 757 00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,120 Speaker 4: Money you think he's making off merchandise. 758 00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:34,560 Speaker 3: It's greater than a dollar, and if it's greater than 759 00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,080 Speaker 3: a dollar, then it's worth your filing application. 760 00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:40,600 Speaker 5: Now, you know, it's giving yourself a nickname so you 761 00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,800 Speaker 5: could make some extra money. But it's like calling yourself 762 00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:44,719 Speaker 5: thinking genius. 763 00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:46,719 Speaker 3: Come on now, now, who would do such a thing. 764 00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:48,799 Speaker 3: By the way, the fact that we don't have a 765 00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:52,279 Speaker 3: full line of merch that we've concocted because you got 766 00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:56,319 Speaker 3: your Arnie's army Yep, yeah, all right, Malard's got his 767 00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:57,400 Speaker 3: militia that was. 768 00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,959 Speaker 4: In the NFL. Bill Arnsberger was Arnie's army. 769 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,439 Speaker 3: You know what I mean? Though, Like, there's there's opportunity 770 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:04,959 Speaker 3: you should have your own online shop with your head 771 00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:09,360 Speaker 3: and maybe you're you know, wearing that sweat bands and 772 00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,960 Speaker 3: maybe maybe after a game is maybe you've got some 773 00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:17,239 Speaker 3: degenerate fans that would like to buy those sweat bands, headbands, 774 00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,640 Speaker 3: here's my you know, game sign goggles, all of those things. 775 00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,560 Speaker 3: Maybe there's a deal that you can get with somebody else. 776 00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:26,120 Speaker 3: I don't know, but you know, where there's a dollar 777 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:30,040 Speaker 3: to be made and where you've got a reputation or 778 00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:33,879 Speaker 3: a nickname that's been conferred on you, you're looking around going, well, 779 00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:37,200 Speaker 3: I'd rather me and even if you give it all 780 00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:40,319 Speaker 3: the charity and again goes back to that what what 781 00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:44,480 Speaker 3: part of the pie chart is mine versus goodwill in that? 782 00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,960 Speaker 3: But the idea is, well, we could do something with 783 00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,319 Speaker 3: that money either for the betterment of me and the 784 00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:55,239 Speaker 3: people around me. Maybe we use it in the community 785 00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:57,600 Speaker 3: in the city, because Caleb William's done everything he can 786 00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,000 Speaker 3: to tear himself to the mighty of Chicago. 787 00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,719 Speaker 5: If you took a hundred calls and asked everybody, what's 788 00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:06,200 Speaker 5: Caleb Williams's nickname, nobody's saying the Iceman. 789 00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:06,760 Speaker 4: Nobody. 790 00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:11,040 Speaker 3: I think it's a recency bias though, And even if Chicago, 791 00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:13,480 Speaker 3: come on and in Chicago that's what they were. But 792 00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:16,520 Speaker 3: that's the thing. It started to grow into a thing 793 00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:21,120 Speaker 3: in Chicago as they piled up all those last minute wins, 794 00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:25,359 Speaker 3: so never heard of, which would also be why you'd 795 00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:26,759 Speaker 3: go and try the trademarket. 796 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,200 Speaker 5: I understand why he's trying to do that. Just never 797 00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:31,319 Speaker 5: hurt anybody calling them the ice man. 798 00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:34,040 Speaker 3: I'm surprised you didn't try to be the cheerleader for that. 799 00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,160 Speaker 3: Maybe on Sunday you will. Now it's in they etched 800 00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:40,680 Speaker 3: in your brain. But certainly for you and I, and 801 00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:43,719 Speaker 3: and for people of a certain age and and acumen 802 00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:46,880 Speaker 3: and history with these sporting events.

Sure, I've got multiple signed 804 00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:55,040 Speaker 3: items that you know, little NBA mini balls that where 805 00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:58,920 Speaker 3: George Gervin immediately just puts ice under his name. You 806 00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:00,960 Speaker 3: don't even have to ask. It's part of his name, 807 00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:01,399 Speaker 3: his pot. 808 00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,920 Speaker 4: Remember the poster, isn't he sitting on a block of ice. 809 00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:06,759 Speaker 3: Holding the buddy?
