• 0:03
  Speaker 1: How's dinner? What was the big dinner at him tonight?
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: What's the specials? You got specials? Anybody quit the meatballs?
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Anybody have meatballs? Meatballs are pretty good here. Yeah, there
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: you go, Paul, good job, Peo pols are good. You
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: don't have halibate here anymore. I didn't see that on
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: the menu. I used to eat that all the time.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Here, Aliban. I thought we still had it.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Maybe you do somewhere.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Maybe they hide during the fall and winter. I know
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: they'll be back in the spring now, I'm sure.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: All right, there you go. Thanks backcourt. Your juniors are
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: doing a pretty good job. KKs having a really good
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: year taking care of the ball. Twenty four and five
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: assistant turnovers, fourteen steals. Boy, she made a couple of
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: big plays late in that Michigan game in the fourth quarter.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: She's starting to get a little more confidence from three.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: But that drive to the hoop that was with confidence,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: and that kind of got her going a little bit.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I think everything that everything that happens that's positive
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: happens because you have confidence that you can do it,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: you know, like I've never understood why someone who's doesn't
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: have confidence in themselves tries to do something that they're
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: not sure, you know. I remember somebody asked Diana and
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: I used this example with my team. Somebody asked Diana
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: one time, do you ever feel pressure? Because she never
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: lost the game that was a season ending game since
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: two thousand and one when we lost to Notre Dame
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: in Saint Louis, Okay in and the rest of the
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: time in those knockout games, she always figured out a
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: way to win. And the time they lost, Superb made
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: that three from the corner in Seattle and they won.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: And they asked her the pressure. She said, no, I
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: don't feel any pressure. I know how much time I've
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: put on the court. I know what I've done to
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: get ready, and when those moments come, I'm ready for them. Now,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: you get these some other players, they maybe don't put
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: the time in, aren't successful when they put the time in,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: but they want to be that person that makes those shots,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: and you know, so it's it's for KK. It's been
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: a yeah. I love the fact that you're taking them.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: I like especially you take them at the right time
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: and then you knock in you know, a couple of them,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: like the one the other night, because that's a confidence
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: builder to know that I, okay, I can do it
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: in practice, but I can do it in a big game,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: in a big moment, not when we're up thirty, you know.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: So those are confidence builders, and those prepare you for
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: the next time that it happens, you know. And then
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: the drive I think, you know, I think for women's
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: basketball because the game is played more below the rim. Okay,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: these kids are not you know, this is the rim.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Their hands are not here. I mean stuies are, but
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: their hands are not here. Now they're shooting the ball
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: from down here a lot of times, and the ball's
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: got to go aways to get to the rim. So
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: they've got to, like Page, you really have to spend
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: a lot of time of how the ball like it's
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: almost like pool, how the ball is going to spin
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: off the backboard, and where you want to put it right,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: and where's the defender. And that takes time. You know,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: it takes time.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: When people saw Page doing it, they go, oh, she
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: just makes it so easy, you know, she was born
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: like that. They don't realize how many hours Page spending
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: the gym by herself practicing all those crazy shots. So
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: when she did one in the game, for her, that
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: was nothing. So KK is spending a lot of time
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: and it's paying off. You know, it's paying off, and
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: I'm happy for her.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Conversely, we saw Ashland take one of the bucket on Sunday.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: She's a good free throw shooter. I mean, I imagine
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: that's I mean, we've talked about this before. You would
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: like to see her do that more?
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Probably? Yeah, I know, I know. I always think that
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: people who are good free throw shooters should try to
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: get to the basketball and then get to the free
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: throw line. So that's something that you know, we're harping on.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: I think we're almost I don't think we're last, but
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: we can see last from the spot we're in a
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Thames Per game, a Thames per game that was little
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: last year too. Yeah, we don't, we don't, we don't shoot.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: We got, you know, a bunch of girls staying on
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: the three point line.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Taking sixty two. Of course, the opponent's only shot fifty nine.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: That's still low, though.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: I know it's awful. It's like it's like the three
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: point line is like that thing you put on your
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: lawns so your dog doesn't run out in the street.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: That's how our guys are. They get their three point
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: line to go and they stop. I'm like what you
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: it gets shocked? What is it? What is it?
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: It's the college you gave them that.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Like you're allowed to drive one side of three point line.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: I know that issue with Sarah, she does that. When
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: she started doing those scoops against Ohio State, maya more
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: immediately came to mind.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she's got a little bit, she got a little
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: bit of that more stuff in there. You know. Yeah,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: you know it's a it's a fine line. You know,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: it's a fine line. Because the hardest thing that I
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: that we had to do when I was coaching the
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: national team was when you play European teams, and if
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: you watch now in the NBA, the hardest thing that
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: we had to try to learn the national team was
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: when those European guards when they drive it to the basket,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: they are not driving it to score. They are driving.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: So you come running over to help and prevent the
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: score so that they can kick it for wide open three.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: And in America, you know, somebody drives it, everybody runs
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: over like, rotate over, block that shot, take a charge whatever.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Well that's exactly what they want you to do, and
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: then they stop boom boom boom, and there's just three three, three,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: and it drives you crazy. So we've been working a
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: lot on that. That's why we're getting so many open threes,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: because we're doing a great job kicking them out. So
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: I think there's got to be maybe a and I don't.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: I think we're averaging like twenty five threes a game.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Twenty yeah, something like that.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, which is a good number for us because we're
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: I think we're averaging seventy two seventy three shots a
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: game and.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Now four three, just a little over twenty four.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I want I want a third of them
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: to be threes. So we get seventy five shots a
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: game or seventy that went, twenty five of them to
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: be threes. Now, between Ash and Kaylee had goal.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Kaylee's not much of an outside three, right, Yet.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: We are six for thirty five, the two of them
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: from the three point line. And then Ally's I mean
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: I said it, and I heard it, so I'm sure
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: you heard it.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, six for thirty five, So that'll get better. That'll
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: get better. Yeah, for sure, that's it. That'll get better.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: All right, more with Geno a minute. It's you kind
