  Speaker 5: They so hard they wanted gold.

• 4:37
  Speaker 4: The You know what't like to do in the summer
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: summer Olympics, like to give me a twelve pack. I
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: like to sit down and turn on the start of
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: the marathon and then I get to see how many
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: beers I can slam by the time they crossed the finish.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna be honest, I didn't tell Wilson's get into
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: it again. He's trying to intimidate these chick ins.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Oh really, I didn't think this was the case. I'm
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: in on the mogul stuff though. The mogul it's like
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: your your knees are bouncing everywhere. You got to do
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: a couple of flips. It's crazy, That's what I'm saying.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: I have respect for that. Looks really painful.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: You.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: I mean, the downhill is great because it's quick, it's fast.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: It's as fast as you could possibly go on skis. Right, Yeah,
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: how do you not like that?
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: Well, the downhill, the downhill, you're you're it is from
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: death at all times. Yeah, that's that's pretty impressive. I agree,
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: it's pretty amazing.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Texas says, way to crap on one of the most
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: decorated women's athletes ever. Who would like to see you
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: run just ten feet without twenty two different medical emergencies? Hey,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: I want you to hear me. I don't know who
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: this is either. We never called out anybody individually. Number
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: One Number two. If it's the sport that I'm talking about,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: where I said I can't get on that for more
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: than like four to five minutes. That person that you're discussing,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: which I don't know who it is, probably doesn't respect
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: the job that I do. And that's fine. I'm just
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: saying it's tough and Vic, You're right. I'm not a
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: winter sport. I never skied before. Like, I don't get it,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: that's part of it. But I'm watching the luge and
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: after like two of them, I'm like, yeah, I think
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: I'm good on this, really think I'm good.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: I do have an issue where Norway is the most
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: decorated country in the world in an olympiad. That shouldn't
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: be the case. That just shouldn't be. That tells you
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: that this is sort of backwards. What are we doing here, Norway?
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: How many Super Bowls you got Norway?
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah? What do you got Norway? What have you done
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: outside of producing a lady who dated my old college roommate.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: What do you have to offer in Norway?
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna google norm what Norwegian accomplishments oil and sports? Yeah,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Norwegian explorers like ruled Amondson, they reached the South pole
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: in nineteen eleven, Vic that do anything for you?
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: What? But they're up on the north pole. I know
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: that's a little crazy already.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: I think you have to understand men. Once you get
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: tired of hanging out at one pole for too long,
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: you get bored. You gotta go through the other pole.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: Just that cinnamon.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Uh. Significant event. Significant inventions include the chase slicer in
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: nineteen twenty five. How about that? That's incredible.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's kind of it. They can go cross country
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: like no cross country skiing. They got the dude that
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: goes uphill? Is he Norwegian? Which one is he?
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: Oh?
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: The runner guy?
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: Hell if I know?
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: Vic?
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: You guys, here's this zero one three one. You guys
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: whined so much about the Olympics. America's being spanked at
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: the Winter Olympics. Deal with it?

• 8:19
  Speaker 7: Americans aren't representing in the biathlon. Whatever the hell that is?
• 8:22

• 8:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not trying to be demeaning. I'm not

  Speaker 3: trying to denigrate athletes, because skiers are incredible athletes. If
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: you watch the remember the Battle of the Network Stars.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: Most remember that fantastics. The skiers were some of the
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: best athletes when they did like other events.

  Speaker 2: How are you doing this morning?
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: I'm doing terrific. How are you well?
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: We're great and thought of you first. Obviously with the
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: passing of one of the greats of all time, certainly
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: in Nuggets history, Dan, I want to start by this
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: for those of you who don't understand Dan Hissel. He
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: is a Hall of Famer. He is one of the
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: greats and Nugget lore. And I'm not sure anybody would
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: be able to look back at Doug Moow's career like
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: you could. But what made him so unique?
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: What was it?
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: And why is he different from any other coach you had?
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: Because he was lazy. He was vick as you know.
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: He was the most laid back coach, not only that
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: I played for, but maybe in the history of the NBA.
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: He didn't worry much about scouting reports or watching film.
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: He was concerned with how we played, and he thought
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: that if we played up to par, then we had
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: a pretty good chance of winning.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Ahead.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: So so when he cursed out players, because he did.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: I heard it when I was on the side. I
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: heard it. How are we able to after a game
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: just say, oh, it's cool, just Doug? How did that work?
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: You know what? It works because of Doug's attitude. It was.
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: It was literally like flipping a switch. As I said,
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: he was very laid back, and when the when the
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: ball was tossed up to start the game, he went
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: nuts and he'd rant and rave and run up and
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: down the sidelines. And then you say, curse the players.
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: Of course, some players he didn't curse that, but some players,
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: like hands like he cursed at all the time. But
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: but uh, and as soon as the game was over,
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: the switch went off. And I've said before, he could
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: call you every name in the book, and then as
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: soon as the game was over to go out to
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: dinner with you.
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: Hey, Dan, When when when you first came to the Nuggets,
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: was Doug an assistant at that time?
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Larry Larry was head coach, Doug was the assistant,
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: and Doug was the assistant until he went to San
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: Antonio to coach the Spurs, and he really didn't want
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: to go. He was very comfortable being in the two
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: seats and being an assistant coach, and that it was
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: actually Big Jane and Larry who had to talk him
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: into taking the head coaching job in San Antonio.
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: So take me through it now. Okay, So he goes
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: to San Antonio. You know, you're a Denver nugget at
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: this point, you're well into your Nuggets career, and then
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: you get the word that they're going to hire Doug
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: Moe to come back and be the head coach. What
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: was since you knew him beforehand, what was the reaction?
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: It was great. I mean, we had been through some
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: pretty rough times, probably not as much as a coach.
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: Of course, you know, Larry left and Donnie Waltz took
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: over as the head coach, and we went through a
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: couple of tough years of twenty five years of organized basketball.
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: I was blessed to play. Those are the only two
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: losing seasons I ever had, And it was it was
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: not so much the coaching. Donnie was a good coach,
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: but it was some of the some of the personnel
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: moves that we made, like, for instance, trading a career
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: over George McGinness for Bobby Jones and some other moves.
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: But hearing that Doug was going to come back to
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: be the new head coach. I think everybody was thrilled
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: about that.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: You know, the thing I appreciated most about Doug Mo
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: was his sheer honesty. And I'm not sure you get
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: that much today when when I say honesty, a reporter
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: would ask, Hey, you guys have a chance against the Lakers. No,
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: no chance at all, A little try, but we mean
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: better than us. And that's the way he acted. I mean,
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: as a player, did that throw you off or were
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: you like, no, that's just the way is He's right?
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah? No, he was right. We had no shot to.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: Be Yeah, but you know what, Dan, you had a
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: shot to beat everybody else. That's what kills me, you know,
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: is that you guys, and even out to you. I mean,
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: I think the Nuggets had a chance to win it all,
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: but those stupid showtime Lakers ruin the way.
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, they they were pretty good. I think they
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: had like four Hall of famers playing on their team
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: and a Hall of Famer coaching them. So yeah, we
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: got to the we got to the Western Conference Conference
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: finals a couple of times. But guys, here here's my
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: theory on that. When when when the Lakers had to
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: play us like every six weeks during the regular season.
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: Our style, our style play was unfamiliar with them, and
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: that threw them off. But when they got to play US,
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: you know, four or five six games in a row,
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: they made the adjustments and they were a better team.
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: I think that. I think the what you're alluding to
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: is is my last uh my last year when we
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: played that, when we got to the Western Conference finals,
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: and I think the NBA find Doug because he said
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: we had no they did.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: How would Dan, I've asked you this before, How do
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: you think Dan Dougmo's style would work in today's game?
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: You know, I think it would work great.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: It.
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: You know, the the NBA today looks more like the
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: way that Doug played. Now, we didn't shoot all the
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: three pointers that they played today, but the wide open style,
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: you know, you got the best player in the world
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: standing out at the three point line making incredible passes.
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: I think I think Doug style would work because it
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: looks more like today's NBA than it did.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Then what about from a personality standpoint, like you didn't
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: want to drop some plays. You just wanted you guys
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: go out there and make it happen. Do you think
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: that they get maybe two in the weeds on this stuff?
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: Now, well, you have to to make Doug style work.
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: You have to have unselfish players. I mean you you
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: know Alex scored a lot of points, Kiki scored a
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: lot of points, but you knew if you made a
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: good hard cut to the basket, they were going to
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: pass you the ball. And so you know in today's league,
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: do you have that unselfishness? And I think that if
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: you know that that if you give the ball up
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: you got a good chance to get it back, then
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: I think it would work. Dan.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: I finished watching Soul Power the History the ABA, which
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: was produced by doctor J. George carl and Company, and
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: it was wonderful all episodes. I learned so much that
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: I did not know about the ABA. And you're featured
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: prominently in that series. Though you started your career with
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: Kentucky Colonels, I didn't realize how revolutionary the league was.
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: Like the Colonels were run by the first female owner
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: in sports. How did that come about?
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: It was John Y. Brown who started Kentucky Fried Chicken
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: with the Colonel and was later governor of Kentucky. He
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: was one of five owners, and they were going to
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: sell us to a group in Cincinnati and moved the
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: Colonels to Cincinnati, and he stepped in and stopped it,
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: and he said, you know, I'm too busy to run
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: a basketball team, and so uh he made his wife,
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: Ellie Brown, the owner. And it was you know that
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: that league was so special. Uh and it may be
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: more popular now than it was when we were playing,
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: but we had some unbelievable players because the you know,
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: the NBA still had a rule they couldn't sign you
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: until your college class graduated. It didn't matter if you
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: went to college or not. Uh. You know, the ABA
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: would sign an eighth grader if they thought, you know,
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: both of that. You know, we got players like doctor
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: J and George McGinnis and George Gervin and on and
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: on and on. At the time, Yeah, no, it was.
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: It was an incredible league and we did things that
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: as soon as the NBA thought, you know, that people
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: had forgotten, they adopted them. The three point lines, the
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: All Star week and Carl Sheer was the one who
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: started the All Star weekend. We had Glenn Campbell as entertainment.
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: The night before we had the first slam dunk contest ever,
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: and so a lot of the things that the a
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: BA started are now routine in the NBA.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: Dan, haven't seen you in quite a while.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: I want to get you back on I remember back
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: in the days at the old Place and some of
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: the stories you would tell about, you know, guys getting
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: paid and run to the bank in the A B
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: A and you know, trying to cast the check before
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: the other guy did, and that kind of I would
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: just love to talk to you about that. An awful lot.
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: Back to Doug real quick though, and you talked about
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: how he would be as a coach today. Can you
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: talk about though, the style that you guys did play.
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: I was talking to Vic earlier, tell him Bren. I'm like,
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: it really was unique. I mean it was a unique
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: brand of basketball. You're in the Mile High City, it was.
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: It was just kind of a special time, was it not?
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: With the way Doug employed his team.
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it really was. I mean, you know, can you
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: imagine having a basketball team with no plays?
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: Were not even an inbound play though, Dan, if you
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: had an inbound play under the bucket with three seconds left,
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: you didn't have a play call for that.
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: Well, but some some some out of bounds plays. You're right,
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: we did that, but as far as going up and
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: down the court, there was never a play called. And
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: so it was yeah, it was It was unique. And
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: and you know Doug, Doug was the one who I
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: mean he funny story. He you know, he never looked
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: at film, never looked at scouting reports or you know,
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: he would he would not be one of those analytical
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: guys that that every team has today. And one year
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: Doug started carrying a briefcase and we thought, oh man,
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: once he got in there, does he have you know,
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: game film? Does he have scouting reports? It was for
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: his fantasy football?
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: Can you relay a story, Dan, Because the days of
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: traveling those years much different than the chartered flights we
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: have today. He was dreadfully fearful of flying. Do you
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: have any good stories of him trying to get through
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: a trip to I don't know New York from Denver?
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: No, he would. Doug wasn't a drinker. You know, after
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: a game he might have a beer, but he wasn't
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: a drinker. But if we had a flight, he would
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: as the flight came in, he would go stand and
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: ask everybody that was coming off the plane. Was it turbulent,
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: you know, have a good flight. And if they said yeah,
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: it was pretty rough coming in here, he go to
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: the bar and have a drink. It didn't matter it
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: was ten o'clock in the morning. He'd go to the
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: bar and have a drink. And he never sat down
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: as soon as the only time he sat down was
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: when the when the fashion female sign was on. If
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: it was off, he was out of his seat, walking
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: up and down the aisle, not only in first class,
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: but all the way back to Cahing.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: God could imagine. That's just awesome. The anxiety. Well, he
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: was one of a kind. He was certainly the kind
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: of coach you will never forget in Nuggets Nation. You
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: don't have Nuggets history without Doug moo. He was, Hey,
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: have you heard any any inside it? Is there going
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: to be a public service anything of that nature, Dan,
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: Have you heard anything from the family?
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: You know, I haven't. I haven't talked to Jane yet,
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: but I talked to Lisa, Lisa Johnson down at the
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: Nugget's office and she said, there will probably be a
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: celebration of life late later on this spring, and I'm
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: assuming that that would be in San Antonio.
• 24:00

• 24:11
  Speaker 4: I don't want to ruin your day. But I did
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: get a message to say hi to you from your
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: old buddy Kevin Fulness, and I said that I would,
• 24:17

  Speaker 4: Five j caneran. I don't want to be. What I
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: don't want to be is an old you know, like
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: Fuddy Doddy. I don't want to be boomer, a guy
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: in that sort of thing. But there's a lot of
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: younger people who listen to this program. You know, they
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: don't they don't know when it's not their fault. They
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: weren't even invented yet by their parents, you know, by
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: the time Doug was even out of town. I mean
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: he came back and assisted for a little bit here
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: to kind of you know, get some people over the
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: hump in that sort of thing, but he was long gone,
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: maybe even before their parents were were around, you know
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: what I mean. That's that's sort of they were really

  Speaker 4: Bill coming up here. I just think it's important to
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: the history of this city.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: Vic I just really quote. I just saw a quote
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: from Doug mo He said, one of the biggest disappointments
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: in my life was going to the NBA after the merger.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: The NBA was a rinky dink league. The league was
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: run like garbage. There was no camaraderie. A lot of
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: NBA guys were aloof and thought they were too good
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: to practice or play hard. The NBA All Star Games
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: were nothing. Guys didn't even want to play in it.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, that sounds a lot like what you'd
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: say about the NBA right now.
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: You know, it's interesting when they merged, when they took
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: on the four ABA teams and you go to that
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: first All Star Game, that All Star Game was full
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: of ABA players. That's how good the ABA was at
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: the top. Some of the best players in the world
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: were in the ABA. And that included the likes of
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: Dan Issel and Doug Mow when he was a player.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: So trust me, all Dan's a Hall of Famer.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, these these were great, great players. Well he's
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: in the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame. He's in the
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: New York City Basketball Hall of Fame, he's in the
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: San Antonio Sports Hall of Fame. He's in every hall
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: of fame that you got.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: Let's take a break because Hanslick wants to chime in
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: when we come back after this. So we're gonna go
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: from a player who was asked to shoot to a
• 27:07

  Speaker 6: practice every day. We didn't go that hard that long.
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: We just went hard and that was it. He was
• 28:50
  Speaker 6: quite the entertainer during games. I'll just leave it like that.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: So was he like your time with him? I mean,
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: Dan Lessel was just on with us. He said that
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: you got it the worst of anybody. What's the worst
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: you got from Doug?
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: I don't know if I know the worst. I remember
• 29:09
  Speaker 6: a few times where Doug was on me so bad
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: and I would that was a little fiery, I guess.
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: And finally I go, Doug, I'm trying as hard as
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: I can this time. You start yelling back, and he goes,
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: he just stops and he goes, oh, that's good, hands,
• 29:26
  Speaker 6: let's go. And I'm like, oh, just maybe even madder. Yeah.
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: What would Mary Beth, your lovely wife say when he
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: would harangue you during games? I mean that cannot have
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: been nice for her to hear some of the worst.
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: He would come out. You should have her on because
• 29:44
  Speaker 6: she would be Yeah, he would come I would always
• 29:47
  Speaker 6: be one of the last guys to leave, but take
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: a while to shower and all that. And so Doug
• 29:53
  Speaker 6: was out of there before me. And one of the
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: benevolent nights where he just really went at me. He
• 30:03

• 30:13
  Speaker 6: what made Duck a little unique and stuff. He just
• 30:17
  Speaker 6: sat in the next one.
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: But Hans, he knew, he knew you could take it, right,
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: I mean, he knew, he knew his team, he knew
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: the personalities, he knew the guys and and and nothing
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: was personal, right, It's just it's just that's that's who
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: he was during the course of the game. And as
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: you said, the game is over, everything is awesome.
• 30:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, but some of us coming up. One
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: time he told tr done t, I don't want you
• 30:38
  Speaker 6: to shoot, and he goes Tee, not only not to shoot,
• 30:42
  Speaker 6: I don't want you to ever shoot again. He's got
• 30:46
  Speaker 6: a freaking lay up and he won't shoot. It doesn't
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: start telling us, hey, you gotta shoot that shot. He
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: told me not to shoot.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: Can you relate the story when he told you there
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: was a there's a late game situation and he did
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: not want you shooting the ball at all. Can you
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: go through what he told you on the sideline?
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, well, well, uh, there's a couple of stories
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: with that. Yeah, there's two different I during my career
• 31:15
  Speaker 6: of I don't know any games I played. I played
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: eight years. There were you know, double eight years with
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: Doug uh And in Denver and we were playing Dallas
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: first game Kevic game three or game four was we
• 31:30
  Speaker 6: were there either down two one or was one one
• 31:33
  Speaker 6: and Doug, in his classic fashion, we had the ball
• 31:37
  Speaker 6: for last shot playoff game. Crowd's going nuts and Doug
• 31:42
  Speaker 6: we get he he talks to four of the five
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: guys that are going to be in the game. Uh,
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: after we had called time out. I think we had
• 31:48
  Speaker 6: a rebound or something. Mike Adams, you got the ball here?
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: Uh English, you go over here. Not no strategy, not
• 31:56
  Speaker 6: like come off a string. He just kind of points
• 31:58
  Speaker 6: you at spots. The horn goes off, and he hasn't
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: told me where to go, and he goes, Doug, where.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: Do you want me to go?
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: Shit, shoot my friend. He drops a few choice words
• 32:13
  Speaker 6: and he goes hands just over in the left corner
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: over there. All right, if for some reason the ball
• 32:18
  Speaker 6: comes to you, just shoot it. In classic form. A
• 32:22
  Speaker 6: guy named Roy Tarpley has parted me big power forward
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: for Dallason and they take away I think it was
• 32:30
  Speaker 6: Mike Adams takeaway his right ham. So he's got to
• 32:32
  Speaker 6: drive left and my guy comes off to help. Tarpley
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: comes off to help. Mike kicks the ball over to
• 32:39
  Speaker 6: me in the corner. Classic listening to your coach. I
• 32:42
  Speaker 6: just react. Tarpley comes fine at me.
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: I'm ball faked.
• 32:47
  Speaker 6: I go to the rim and I make a layup
• 32:49
  Speaker 6: over Sam Perkins.
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: We win the game.
• 32:52
  Speaker 6: Doub meets me at half court. I told you not
• 32:55
  Speaker 6: to dribble the ball. I go.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: He won the game.
• 33:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but I told you not to do that. Dug
• 33:08
  Speaker 6: was beautiful.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: Do you think beautiful?
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: Do you think that sort of style though hands like?
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: I asked this to Isle and I was like, do
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: you think somebody that I guess put it accurately lack
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: of preparedness? Do you think that could work now in
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: the NBA with no analytics, no drawing up plays, nothing
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: like that.
• 33:26
  Speaker 6: Oh wow, that would do. I'm getting my starbucks here,
• 33:31
  Speaker 6: thank you, thank you. You know I would Doug work
• 33:36
  Speaker 6: in today's NBA. I'm not sure because I don't know
• 33:41
  Speaker 6: if I've seen coaches go as Haywire as him, and
• 33:45
  Speaker 6: if you went that Haywire, I'm not sure what other
• 33:47
  Speaker 6: players would do. So uh, but it worked in his system,
• 33:52
  Speaker 6: I said. One of the reasons why he was successful.
• 33:55
  Speaker 6: Doug coaches always tied the first thing we want you
• 33:59
  Speaker 6: you got to play hard, well hard as different interpretations
• 34:03
  Speaker 6: like how close to can you get to being ninety
• 34:06
  Speaker 6: or one hundred percent in the game? And uh, he would,
• 34:10
  Speaker 6: he would. He would get his teams close to that
• 34:15
  Speaker 6: ninety percent, where other teams would be like a yo
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: yo up and down, you know, maybe one hundred percent
• 34:20
  Speaker 6: one game, fifty the next. But Doug through his screaming
• 34:23
  Speaker 6: and holler and then they're all all the crazy.
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: Stuff he did.
• 34:27
  Speaker 6: That's that's how I think we want a.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: Lot you know, hands.
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: I know his style was a bit unorthodox, but I
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: don't want anybody to misconstrue the fact that he wanted
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: to win and he tried to win, and he was
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: you know, he was.
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: He was well, he didn't always try to win most Yeah,
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: can you relate the story about where he didn't want
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: you guys or no, wait, it was the game in
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: Washington where he said, Okay, you guys are so bad,
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: I want you to attempt a shot as soon as
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: you cross the half court line.
• 34:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, that that story is great because we're playing
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: as the Bullets back then, playing and we're playing bad.
• 35:02
  Speaker 6: We're just we're down second quarter early, I don't know,
• 35:04
  Speaker 6: down eighteen you know, and it's like one pass shot
• 35:08
  Speaker 6: and that was just Duble just you could just see
• 35:10
  Speaker 6: him getting madder, and Madder calls the time out and said,
• 35:13
  Speaker 6: all right, you guys want to play like that. Okay,
• 35:16
  Speaker 6: here's what we're gonna do. First, guy over the ball,
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: half court with the ball, shoots it. If you don't
• 35:20
  Speaker 6: shoot it, you're coming out. Well, okay, we go back in.
• 35:23
  Speaker 6: We go from eighteen to down like twenty four. Then
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: he calls another time out. See how horrible that looks.
• 35:31
  Speaker 6: We go back into the ball and start zipping around
• 35:33
  Speaker 6: down and then that we come back with the game.
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: Are you kidding? You won the game? Oh?
• 35:38
  Speaker 6: Man? Yeah, that's crazy.
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: Hey do you guys?
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: I was talking to Dan about this.
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: You guys had some great teams, man, I mean, you
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: were really, really good. Is there any doubt in your
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: mind that that maybe you'd be an NBA champion, that
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: Doug would be an NBA championship coach without those stupid Lakers?
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 35:56
  Speaker 6: You know that one year where we go to the
• 35:59
  Speaker 6: Western Conferences, we're one one in l A coming home
• 36:03
  Speaker 6: to Denver and I can't remember it hurts his knee
• 36:08
  Speaker 6: and English breaks a thumb, so we it's not magic
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: and Creeb getting hurt. That was our one real chance
• 36:14
  Speaker 6: because that was probably our best team. We had to depth,
• 36:17
  Speaker 6: we had a little bit, and we could flat out score.
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: So yeah, it was good. It was really good.
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: Hans You're the best, buddy. I love weaving the stories
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: and I know you're hurting like the rest of us,
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: But that man, he's going to be up in the
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: sky with the big stiff himself and we will never
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: forget the great Doug moment.
• 36:34
  Speaker 6: Appreciate you question, Vic. Last thing I'm really looking for.
• 36:39
  Speaker 6: They're going to do a celebration of life end of
• 36:40
  Speaker 6: March early April, and it will be so cool seeing
• 36:45
  Speaker 6: how many people come back and go to that. Yeah,
• 36:48
  Speaker 6: that's that's what I'm looking for to next me too.
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: Me too, Thanks buddy, Appreciate it all right.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: Bill Hansley joined us on the ramas the highline.
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: So back then, last story, they didn't have many coaches
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: on an NBA bench. It was Doug and one assistant
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: coach and then Chopper Travelini and that was it. You know,
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: today there are thirty coaches.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: And Chopper had Chopper literally had like seven jobs.
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so it was it so Bill Vickey, who owns
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: Big Bill's Pizza, was an assistant coach of Dougs and
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: the way he got the job is the stuff of legend.
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: We did this in the documentary. The way he told
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: the story, he was hilarious. So Bill ran Fleetfeet, which
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: was a shoe store, a running shoe of athletic shoe store,
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: and he had a franchise at Fleetfeet. And he also
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: had a basketball background. He knews basketball. But Doug got
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: to know Bill through the shoes and all that stuff
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: in basketball circles, and he asked Bill one day. He
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: lived on the other side of town where they had
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: cable television, because back then in the Metro Denver area,
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: only half of the town was wired for cable TV,
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: and those who had it got to watch all the games.
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: So he asked Bill, Hey, can I come over and
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: watch some games? Bill said, yeah, come on over. So
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: one thing they'd do another. He'd come over once a week,
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: and twy a week and three times a week. They
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: have to become friends. Doug just says, hey, you want
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: to be my assistant coach, and that's how he got
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: the sister coaching job with the Nuggets.
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: N think about that Can you imagine that, I mean
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: today's day and age. Can you imagine that?
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: What Like we're just on the golf course with Betsy.
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: He's like, oh, wait, you want to be on the bench.
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what that would be like? Like today
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: you give somebody your your username and password for the
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: peacock and all that. Hey, you want to be by coach,
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: Thanks for the password.
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: Go ahead, all right? So we have that para tickets
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: to give away to Colorado's return to the ice against

  Speaker 2: Well, Andrew Munson, congratulate.
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: Right what There's no way that's the same Andrew Munson.
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: So, by the way, do you realize that Doug mow
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: was suspended by the NBA for two games back in
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: eighty three? Do you know why, Brett, Are you ready
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: for this? Doug Moe was suspended. This is god, this
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: is such a He was suspended by the league for
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: and fine five grand for you. Was suspended for two
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: games because he ordered his team to stop playing defense.
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: And I'm not kidding.
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah in Portland, Yeah, in Portland.
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: He ordered his team to stop playing defense, and the
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: Blazers that night put up a buck fifty six on
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: the Nuggets.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: Geez, I mean, probably worthy of a fine. He ordered
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: the team don't play defense.
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: You know today's coaches when they call it down eight
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: and they call it time out with like six seconds left,
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: thinking you know that, Bob me so much. Doug was
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: the opposite of that. If he knew a game was over,
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: it was over. Yeah, stop playing, There's no reason to
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: expend any more energy. It was none of that little
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: drip drip grip.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: To the very end, I'm trying to figure out. Did
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: a Nuggets assistant coach just win tickets to the Avs game?
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: That just happened? There's no way gotta.
• 40:17
