  Yeah, we're back live at the iHeart Dunkin Music Lounge. We could do
• 0:04
  this all night, but we only got an hour with coach. I gotta
• 0:07
  tell you about cam Stewart. By the way, Spencer, I'm sorry,
• 0:13
  I can play golf. Funny, I know you were trying to pick the
• 0:15
  game up a little bit. You might want to speak with him for some
• 0:18
  off time about it, because he can play. We played in this event
• 0:21
  at Lake of Isles a few a month or two ago, and he was
• 0:24
  killing it. He was in our group, thank god, because he was
• 0:27
  killing the ball down down the fairway. But the point of it is you
• 0:31
  talked about this before. He is a competitive guy. Wow. I mean
• 0:35
  if he didn't make a putt, you know, you play those scrambles,
• 0:38
  you get four chances to make the same putt, and he putted last a
• 0:41
  lot, and if he didn't make that putt, he was genuinely upset.
• 0:44
  I mean, he was mad as hell that he didn't help the team in
• 0:48
  a golf tournament, at a charity golf tournament. So I really liked his
• 0:52
  personality. He's a good guy. No, he's like a anger management And
• 0:56
  I'm saying that quit a minute that's how shot. He is just perfect.
• 1:03
  I mean, just the way that everything broke Andre going down to the last
• 1:07
  minute, it was not you know, with the specter of Steph, Tristan
• 1:14
  and Andre, we didn't really have a starting spot on the perimeter, so
• 1:19
  we kind of got stuck in the portal, just guys going off the board,
• 1:23
  and it was not ideal. And then there's a lot of good fortune
• 1:26
  there where Andre goes in and now it enters the draft, stays in and
• 1:32
  now a two way player that can make big shots and it is a really
• 1:37
  good shooter and or a high level shooter. And he's got the he's got
• 1:41
  the mental makeup to play well at Yukon. Like when he's struggling, then
• 1:46
  the external noise gets loud, he will be able to bounce back from that,
• 1:49
  which is like something that you start really looking for here because you do
• 1:57
  have to be mentally strong to play here or coach here. So I think
• 1:59
  it'll be all the Yeah, one thing I noticed in the in the Blue
• 2:01
  White Night, he just seems like a natural player. He just flows in
• 2:06
  the game and he makes the right play. If it's not a pass,
• 2:08
  it's a shot. You don't have to worry about him, like not taking
• 2:12
  the shot he's supposed to take or not making the pass. I mean,
• 2:15
  there's a lot of things about him. He's just a pure basketball player.
• 2:19
  Yeah, he's like you know, guys like him in a caravan, really
• 2:24
  the whole group. I mean, these guys are just they're not complicated.
• 2:29
  They don't have a big circle of friends and mentors and advisors, so like
• 2:35
  small circle. They love the game, they're about winning. He fits right
• 2:39
  in. Yeah, Tristan Newton came back and I was happy about it.
• 2:45
  I'm sure you were. He had to play the point a lot last year,
• 2:49
  and he's not a natural point guard really, and there'd be some nights
• 2:51
  where, you know, get eight and please I'd say that because he's gonna
• 2:54
  he does not listen, miss him off. Maybe that's good, No,
• 2:59
  but he really I think that's a real boost because the guy's got experience.
• 3:04
  I mean, what he did in that championship game against San Diego State was
• 3:07
  lights out. I mean basketball has got positionless nowadays. You know, the
• 3:09
  old school point guard, you know that that's like kind of like a dying
• 3:15
  breed in a lot of ways, and just really our system of how we're
• 3:20
  trying to play basketball now is what we We're not ballscreen reliant like a lot
• 3:24
  of programs are where it's like if the ball screen game is not working,
• 3:30
  like you you know what at a luck on offense. That's part of what
• 3:36
  we do offensively, But we run a lot of off the ball screens.
• 3:40
  We we try to attack you from everywhere on the court, try to really
• 3:46
  open up the court and and do a lot of creative things that keep you
• 3:50
  guessing and and you know, keep one player from overhandling, which you know
• 3:54
  allows you know that, and you know that was an issue with us in
• 3:59
  prior years. So we're trying to recruit guards and aren't going to be Paul
• 4:01
  dominant and uh and not have to rely on just one player offensively to create
• 4:09
  it like it's created off a movement pass deception. Yeah, that's the beauty
• 4:13
  of that Portland tournament back in November. Uh, I mean it was just
• 4:16
  just a clinic and team basketball. You talk about centerless, but wait a
• 4:20
  minute, you got a guy that is a legit center. Donovan Klingon won
• 4:25
  a championship as a freshman, and he looks to me like he's getting better.
• 4:29
  I like his range he's been shooting threes in practice. I know that,
• 4:33
  coach, Come on hurting me, Come on now. Ben Darnell,
• 4:38
  resident basketball college college analyst says, how many is he shooting in a game
• 4:42
  this year? How many you're gonna let him shoot? Me? And Paul
• 4:45
  talked about this on the way over right, and Mike is hurting us now
• 4:47
  right, Paul, Oh, he shouldn't be thinking about shooting three. He
• 4:54
  should only think about shooting a three if his guy is in like a drop
• 4:58
  coverage, like a culk breader, like dominate the game, like dominate defensively
• 5:02
  at the rim, dominate offensively at the rim. The greatness of adamison Ogo
• 5:08
  is you had to beg him to shoot threes. Really, I don't know
• 5:11
  that. Wow, you've been around now for years. That's a great That's
• 5:17
  that's counterintuitive only and that's what great. And like so like you want to
• 5:23
  coach players that aren't trying to show to the next level what their abilities are
• 5:29
  that they're all about, like what is the best way to help my team
• 5:31
  win? And I think Donovan's best gift away from the basket, the best
• 5:36
  thing he does is is pass and see and his his feel and his anticipation
• 5:43
  as a passer and as a roller in the ball screen game. And you
• 5:47
  know, and there's gonna be certain games where it may dictate for him for
• 5:51
  it to be worth it for us versus a Caul Renner who is just like
• 5:58
  in the paint protecting the rim where it may make sense. But you know,
• 6:01
  he's we're asking him to double his production. Then some he needs to
• 6:05
  just concentrate on dominating a rund the paint. We'll send him this piece of
• 6:10
  tape that we just record. He don't need a tape. He knows.
• 6:15
  He doesn't listen to you people. He listens to me. I don't expect
• 6:17
  him to. He's listening to you though. We know. Yeah, he's
• 6:20
  a great kids. We got about thirty seconds going to this break. We
• 6:25
  haven't mentioned Caravan yet. That guy is like a savant to me. Talk
• 6:28
  to him. I watch him play. He does what is needed. What
• 6:31
  is it we need rebounds? All right, get some rebounds. We need
• 6:34
  to make a shot into the half. He'd done that three or four times.
• 6:38
  He just seems to do what's needed. And that is a quality that
• 6:42
  is valuable. Great player got a chance to go down before his career is
• 6:46
  over as one of the greatest players, and if he takes care of his
• 6:49
  business this year and the team does what it's capable of, one of the
• 6:53
  biggest winners to ever play in a place that's won a lot, he'll be
• 6:56
  an NBA draft pick. Just about all the right things. Sets a tone
• 7:02
  in the program where he's just like about basketball in school and he's like a
• 7:06
  quadruple major. The guy's super brilliant. Hard for our staff to coach because
• 7:14
  he's so much smarter than us, but like doesn't get enough credit. It
• 7:19
  doesn't get enough credit. I agree with it all right, Dan Hurley with
• 7:21
  us. We'll be back after this time out. The Yukon Men's Basketball Coaches
