  Speaker 1: Back on the Yukon Men's Basketball Coaches Show with Dan
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Hurley on Mike Crispino, Uh A long time ago. I
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: know you're kind of a movie guy. There was that
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: that thing with Clint Eastwood, The good, the bad, and
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: the ugly, the little spaghetti westerns. I like those things.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: So we're not going to talk about we talked about
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: the bad. Now here we are segment two, Let's talk
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: about some of the good that you saw on opening
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: night against New Haven.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: You were asking me what was going what was so well,
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: here's the situation with the I mean, these video sessions
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: have been really long, you know, like like you know,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: days after you play poorly, those video sessions are longer.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: And what we're finding is, you know we're not and
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: usually able to knock it out in one day. But
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: we're getting into you know, Michigan State obviously with that
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: with you know, with that exhibition, you know, the individual defense,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: the softness on the backboard, you know, the lack of
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: assists at the offensive end of the court. You know,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: we're just we're not ourselves in a lot of ways.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: So you know, there's not a lot when you say
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: a positive thing that comes to my mind coming out
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: of a game. I'm having like a harder time with that,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: besides the fact that we were eventually able to just
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: walk away with a win, but they're just in terms
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: of just the way that we played that there wasn't
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: much positive for us.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you out rebounted them forty to twenty five. I
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: know you know in the championship years a couple of
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: years ago, that was a big number pretty much every night.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: And the block shot number for Yukon and the assist number,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: which I wanted to bring up because you had eleven
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: assists as a team twelve turnovers. I know you work
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: on that chalkboard before every game and you put up
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: goals for the team. I'm pretty sure you didn't have
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: a goal of eleven assists twelve turnovers for Ukunn.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: No, it was it was twenty one assists to six turnovers.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: It was plus twenty five on the backboard, It was
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: twenty more offensive rebounds for us. It was keeping them
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: to thirty three percent from the field overall, not forty
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: seven or whatever they shot. It was no one on
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: their team getting double figures. It was us scoring thirty
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: plus points off turnovers, and in transition, it was it
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: was them scoring less than fourteen points in the paint.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: It was literally it was fifty identity plays, wall ups
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: at the rim, charges taken, deflections, turnovers, forced, the floor dives.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, we literally didn't hit, you know, on anything.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: And you know it's listen, Taris, it's you know, we
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: need to get Tarifs back in the lineup here. You know,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: once he's healthy enough, I think that'll change the complexion.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: Of the team.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: And and then I think, you know, we need to
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: get Braillin back and healthy or fur feedback and healthy,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: because we need to get that kind of competition back.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: For minutes, I felt like people you had a number
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: of players that didn't deserve the minutes that they ended
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: up playing the other night.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the Huskies have a couple coming up here Friday
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: at People's Bank Arena's UMass Lowell and then on Monday
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: out of the IVY League Columbia at Gamble. What do
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: you hope to accomplish here in these two games, because
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: then the Gauntlet starts. You start with all these top
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: twenty teams, which I know the challenge is going to
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: be big, and you want to be healthy for all
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: of that. You're probably not going to be one hundred
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: percent healthy. So what do you hope to accomplish in
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: these next two.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, obviously, the defense, I think, you know, is the
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: biggest thing that you're looking at, just becoming sturdier, more physical, smarter,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: more competitive, better fundamentals, better will guarding the basketball. You know,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: you're guarding a righty who's caught the ball pretty deep
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: on the left side of the court, where you've got
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: you know, four other basketball players and you have an
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: opportunity to send them out as we can into an
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: area where you have help, and we're allowing people to
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: go right hand middle where there's not much help. So
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: some of it is techniques, some of it is smart,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: some of it is fundamentals. Some of it is physical strength,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: not playing with enough force. And again, we've got all
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: the resources in the world to be able to put
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: you know, athletic, explosive, strong athletes that are not getting
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: you know, kind of bullied on the court in one
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: on one matchups. So I think that that one on
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: one individual defense is a starting point. Obviously, the ability
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: to also help teammates when they do a good enough
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: job and help can help. And then the sharpness, you know,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: how many layups did we miss? How many open shots
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: did we miss? How many people that were open did
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: we not throw the ball on time?
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: So just a.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Sharpness and obviously the defensive thing. And it's not you know,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: I believe in the team. I think the team's got
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: a real chance, especially as we get some of these
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: people back. We need better leadership, you know, we need
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: to you know, we need Alex to you know, be
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: a better leader out there as well, be more vocal,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: you know, drive his teammates, uphold the standard as a
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: two time champion.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I got a buzzword for you here that didn't I
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: know you have it, but sometimes it's not always easy
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: to communicate it to your team. An edge. And the
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Yukon championship teams last couple of years there they had
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: an edge. I felt like when people came to play
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: the Huskies, they were gonna get in a fight. It's
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: gonna be a fistfight somehow. And I don't know if
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: I see it yet, and I don't know if you
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: see it. And is that something that's important to you.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Well, the thing is, you know, when you when you
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: address the team a lot, you're in the video room
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: and you're you know, you know that in no seats
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: you've had a Domason Ogo and Andre Jackson and Donovan
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Klingen and Steph Castle and just warriors and winners and
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: guys that were clutch performers.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: And you know that's the standard.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: And obviously, you know, it's like it's at the Spider
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Man movie whatever. Too much to whom much is given,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: much is expected. You know, there's a you know, we've
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: been invested a lot in these players, not for them
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: to play basketball here, but for them to play basketball
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: at a certain level here, at a certain level at
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: both ends of the court, with maximum effort and being
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: all about winning games. And uh, that's the standard that
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: that we've got to hold them too. And when they're
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: not playing or competing to that standard, that the coach
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: is going to be pissed.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so safe to say you haven't been in a
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: very good mood in the last day or two.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Well, you're getting me fresh off the court today and
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: and straight out of the video session that uh so
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: it was just the practice. Uh you know, this was
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: the first practice of being with them since the New
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Haven game and then the video session that we had
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: part one of it, and we still have part two.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm my blood is boiling.

  Speaker 1: Okay, well, thanks for coming on the air with us,
• 7:29
