0:23
[SPEAKER_00]: We've had Mark Drake, the JV coach.
0:26
[SPEAKER_00]: Franklin Legend.
0:28
[SPEAKER_00]: We've also had all of the seniors on the podcast.
0:32

0:36
[SPEAKER_00]: And just yesterday, Wednesday, talked to Coach Brobson about the win over Wabash on Tuesday.
0:45
[SPEAKER_00]: So what we did this week, just Coach Brobson and I talked about the state of the Franklin Eagles program from top to bottom varsity all the way down to the youth
0:58
[SPEAKER_00]: talking about the success that they've had more than 60 wins from varsity through 8th grade.
1:08
[SPEAKER_00]: So today just a short recap and a 15-20-minute conversation with Coach Brobsden got a lot out of it.
1:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Good catching up with him every week.
1:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Before I get to that,
1:22
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to tell you about my daily podcast, it's my passion.
1:25
[SPEAKER_00]: It was my idea when I started the Central Indiana Sports Report finally starting to get enough backing to be able to do it every day.
1:33
[SPEAKER_00]: It's called Greg and his friends talk sports.
1:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Whatever's going on in sports, particularly in Central Indiana.
1:41
[SPEAKER_00]: My friends and I are talking about it.
1:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Paysers, fever, IU, Purdue, Indy, Carr, Colts, Butler, Notre Dame.
1:50
[SPEAKER_00]: National Sports and, of course, the Frank D'Negals.
1:55
[SPEAKER_00]: And, Elwood, Alexandria, Madison Grant, LePel, the CIC, but who cares about them?
2:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Please join me for 10 to 20 minutes every day.
2:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Talking about what Central Indian sports fans are talking about.
2:08
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, and we also have an IU Report, a Purdue Report, Fever Report, Colts Report, Pacers Report,
2:20
[SPEAKER_00]: If Central Indian sports fans are talking about it, that's the criteria.
2:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you so much for indulging me.
2:30
[SPEAKER_00]: So seven wins and a row for the Eagles.
2:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Since our last Franklin Eagles report, they've beaten Tri 50 to 47 coming from behind to win that one and then 60 to 48 out wall bash coming from behind to win that one as well.
2:47
[SPEAKER_00]: and we had full reports on both of those games so go check those out if you haven't yet.
2:52
[SPEAKER_00]: And even if you have, that makes Frank to now 14 and 4 and up to 12th in the latest USA today media poll.
3:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Next up at home against 5 and 13 Mrs. Sinowal for our central and new conference game.
3:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Coach Brobson starts on that one coming right up.
3:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Then another game of the Eagles Nest on Tuesday against Daleville, the Broncos currently 3 and 13 on a 4-game losing streak.
3:25
[SPEAKER_00]: So a good chance to add to the current winning streak as long as they continue to play the way they've been playing.
3:32
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, not the first half against Wallbash the second half.
3:35
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll hear more about that from Coach Brobs than as well.
3:39
[SPEAKER_00]: Please stay tuned.
3:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Well coach, we just caught up with you yesterday after another win against Blavash.
3:48
[SPEAKER_00]: So everybody go and listen to that, his comments after the game.
3:53
[SPEAKER_00]: So don't want to talk about that necessarily.
3:55
[SPEAKER_00]: I do want to talk a little missocina wall.
3:57
[SPEAKER_00]: But after that, I'd like to kind of talk about the state of the program and the JV, the freshman.
4:03
[SPEAKER_00]: the eighth, seventh and eighth grades and kind of get what's going on at the lower programs.
4:10
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't spend a lot of time talking about JV and such on the Central Indiana Sports Report.
4:15
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to find out about where the program is.
4:19
[SPEAKER_00]: But let's start with, um,
4:22
[SPEAKER_00]: seven wins in a row your thoughts on where you are at this point and how practice has been this week.
4:29
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, we're real pretty excited with our kids are 14 and four seven wins in a row.
4:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Didn't play a good half a basketball the first half of wall bash second half was really much better.
4:38
[SPEAKER_01]: I think we also scored them 44 24 and the second half which was a much better effort but we just didn't come.
4:45
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't think ready to play and that was partly due to wall bash.
4:48
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously they did a good job with their effort early.
4:51
[SPEAKER_01]: really happy with what we're at, 14 and 4, 4, 3 and 2 in the conference, and sitting with the chance they're second, but we're getting better.
5:00
[SPEAKER_01]: I will say this, practice on Wednesday and Thursday were two the better practices we've had all year.
5:05
[SPEAKER_01]: They were shorter, but the kids at least came back and understood what we were trying to accomplish in terms of getting better from what we were deficient in the wall bash game.
5:15
[SPEAKER_00]: You're starting to see a vision of this team being pretty elite, right?
5:20
[SPEAKER_01]: I think so.
5:21
[SPEAKER_01]: I think our sectional is very difficult, but this team's ranked 12th of the state right now in the polls.
5:25
[SPEAKER_01]: They're number one in the conference in defense points allowed.
5:28
[SPEAKER_01]: They're number 10 in the state.
5:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Defense points allowed.
5:30
[SPEAKER_01]: They put together some really good numbers.
5:33
[SPEAKER_01]: They're capable to win every night.
5:34
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, you know, we're rolling into some tough games here.
5:37
[SPEAKER_01]: Mr. Sinole, Alexandria, Shannon Dua, some tough games ahead.
5:42
[SPEAKER_01]: Blue Rivers playing really well.
5:43
[SPEAKER_01]: Three and a row for them.
5:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, we've got some games coming up that are going to be difficult to be difficult to test.
5:49
[SPEAKER_01]: And then we need that'll be good for us at the end of the day when you get to the sectional.
5:53
[SPEAKER_01]: It's that sectional stuff and it's tough every year and there's probably a reason we never want here for 91 years.
6:00
[SPEAKER_01]: They're always tough.
6:01
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, we've won four sectionals in the last 16 years.
6:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Actually, four sectionals in the last 13 years.
6:07
[SPEAKER_01]: We've had some success with that.
6:08
[SPEAKER_01]: It's motivated our kids and it's why our program is where it is,
6:16
[SPEAKER_00]: A little bit about Mississippi all five wins on the season doesn't look very daunting.
6:20
[SPEAKER_00]: I think anybody who's really paid attention to those better than that, not the best Mississippi team ever for sure, but definitely a dangerous team pretty big test on Friday.
6:28
[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.
6:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Their strength of schedule is difficult.
6:31
[SPEAKER_01]: Their records no indication of how good they are.
6:34
[SPEAKER_01]: They're capable to win every night and they've had some really close games as a light.
6:40
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll have at any time we play them, it's a tough test.
6:43
[SPEAKER_01]: It doesn't matter, every year's been difficult.
6:45
[SPEAKER_01]: They're always going to play hard, come in, and play ready to win.
6:50
[SPEAKER_01]: And Coach Brooks has done a nice job with him, and he's done a really good job in his first couple of years.
6:54
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's going to be a difficult test.
6:57
[SPEAKER_01]: And we're looking forward to it.
6:58
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a home game.
6:58
[SPEAKER_01]: We're back in home.
6:59
[SPEAKER_01]: We haven't been home a lot this month.
7:01
[SPEAKER_01]: Or the month of January.
7:02
[SPEAKER_01]: So now we're getting a couple of home games here in a row.
7:05
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's nice to be back.
7:09
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, Coach, let's start with the JV team because they're having a really good season as well.
7:14
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, seven straight wins, 12 of them for our program for the futures and good hands.
7:18
[SPEAKER_01]: They've had a fantastic season, so can't say enough about them.
7:23
[SPEAKER_01]: We've had several different players.
7:26
[SPEAKER_01]: The thing with the JV is a lot of guys that played different minutes.
7:29
[SPEAKER_01]: really for us for by nine to 10 guys and night in that program and they're getting a lot of different looks.
7:35
[SPEAKER_01]: But overall, we couldn't be more pleased with them.
7:38
[SPEAKER_01]: They're getting there.
7:39
[SPEAKER_01]: They're working their way to the next level and you always like it when people, you know, you're having good season, everybody's like, well, what are you going to do next year?
7:43
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, what's going to happen to you next year?
7:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, that's what they said last year when Brecht and are Brady, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,
7:50
[SPEAKER_01]: Carmack and Joey Wright graduate, two great players, two kids, a love.
7:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, what you do is, is the team that just won below them is going to come up and hopefully continue that.
7:58
[SPEAKER_01]: So, that's what we've done this year.
8:00
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what we want to do again next year.
8:02
[SPEAKER_01]: And this team's 12 and 4 for a reason.
8:04
[SPEAKER_01]: The four games have lost if all been close.
8:07
[SPEAKER_01]: So now we're really happy with where they're at.
8:09
[SPEAKER_01]: We've got a lot of kids in that group playing and playing minutes.
8:12
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm sure there's some of them that like to play more.
8:14
[SPEAKER_01]: And there's some of them that never like to come out.
8:17
[SPEAKER_01]: So you're trying to get that every night, trying to get kids in and out of that line up playing a playing hard.
8:23
[SPEAKER_00]: We've talked about a few of them, because a few of them are on the varsity, but who are some of the players on the junior varsity who have excelled for you?
8:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Well Isaac Ferra has had to play both varsity and JB, so he's kind of been the starting solid guard on that team.
8:35
[SPEAKER_01]: What Isaac's done really well, he's got himself in the weight room, he's stronger and quicker this year.
8:39
[SPEAKER_01]: He's right there helping our varsity as well, and he's been in games in the varsity.
8:43
[SPEAKER_01]: So he's been huge for us.
8:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Callos wants a freshman that has played a lot of minutes in their callos, athletic and quick as anyone in our program.
8:50
[SPEAKER_01]: He's just learning.
8:51
[SPEAKER_01]: He's still learning every week and trying to get better.
8:53
[SPEAKER_01]: He's
8:54
[SPEAKER_01]: really commit himself to focusing on the game.
8:56
[SPEAKER_01]: In fact, when we did notes the other night were when we had all the kids Thursday night against dry high school, take notes on the film set on the film from for that Thursday night and then turn them in Monday by three, his notes were by far the best.
9:10
[SPEAKER_01]: When I read through all the notes of these kids taking, they're several on the did really well, but his was really good because he was critical of himself.
9:17
[SPEAKER_01]: he wants to be better so can't say enough about how every kid you can go down the line there Isaac and Kyle started the guard spot.
9:23
[SPEAKER_01]: Klein was injured a lot throughout the beginning of the year.
9:26
[SPEAKER_01]: He didn't get back till January.
9:27
[SPEAKER_01]: He's sick this week and unfortunately he's battling the flu right now.
9:31
[SPEAKER_01]: So
9:32
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously wanting to get more minutes base head injury and then then unfortunately I sit right now for us.
9:37
[SPEAKER_01]: So he plays a lot for us.
9:39
[SPEAKER_01]: Jackson Spolting is a tremendous player.
9:41
[SPEAKER_01]: Jackson Spolting's plan behind know of Melvin and Tray Bennett and Blake Nick, I'm so you don't know a lot about Jackson this year.
9:48
[SPEAKER_01]: You will next year.
9:50
[SPEAKER_01]: He's helped our varsity a little bit in spots.
9:52
[SPEAKER_01]: And you're going to know a lot more about him next year because he's going to be a really good player for us the rest of this year, but even next year and then Jack Fedig and Aston Barker or two kids that have really come to work every day.
10:03
[SPEAKER_01]: Jack Fedig is I think over achieved to be honest with you because I think he comes in and he plays extremely hard he knows every spot on the floor has attitudes excellent.
10:14
[SPEAKER_01]: He's a good teammate.
10:15
[SPEAKER_01]: And Barker is trying to do everything right to and work himself into playing more and playing as much as he can.
10:19
[SPEAKER_01]: He's a good athlete.
10:20
[SPEAKER_01]: We've been happy with Asin.
10:21
[SPEAKER_01]: Will Melvin sophomore for us.
10:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Genius, apparently.
10:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.
10:26
[SPEAKER_01]: He's going to make the most money by this program.
10:28
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, it's genius.
10:29
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's just one of the best kids you'd ever be around your life.
10:33
[SPEAKER_01]: He's played for last year.
10:34
[SPEAKER_01]: He's played for us this year.
10:35
[SPEAKER_01]: He's really good defensively for us.
10:37
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's just trying to find his way to play as many minutes as he can.
10:40
[SPEAKER_01]: Rowan Brandham, who's our quarterback in the football team, another kid for us that
10:45
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just trying to develop row and strong and physical and tough and brings a lot to the table.
10:51
[SPEAKER_01]: Dayton Balsman has played on the freshman team, the C team and the JV and Dayton's highly intelligent.
10:56
[SPEAKER_01]: Very good IQ for the game and going to be a really good player.
11:00
[SPEAKER_01]: He's just right now maturing growing physically and getting stronger.
11:04
[SPEAKER_01]: those things are what what he needs and when that happens he'll take off and then Kindle Stevens has been a really nice surprise for Sishira from the C team and David both Kendall can shoot it he's six to he's long he's going to be really good for the next three years he's one of those kids you wouldn't be shocked if he makes a really quick jump next year trade been a went from his
11:24
[SPEAKER_01]: freshman year of playing C team to his sophomore year of the honorable mention all conference player.
11:28
[SPEAKER_01]: So Steven's is a sleeper and he's a kid that could really progress quickly in our program.
11:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Landon Jones is another kid on our JV that started the majority of games for us on the JV.
11:38
[SPEAKER_01]: He can really shoot at high high IQ.
11:41
[SPEAKER_01]: Landon's going to be another kid that's going to make a quick job because he's physically growing stronger.
11:46
[SPEAKER_01]: He started to defend, which is the big thing we wanted with him is to get him to the next level.
11:50
[SPEAKER_01]: He's going to have to really be kind of a good
11:53
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's starting to try to do that now, but all offensive skills he's already got and he can he's a great passer.
11:58
[SPEAKER_01]: He sees the floor well.
11:59
[SPEAKER_01]: He's a very good shooter and he brings a lot to the table.
12:03
[SPEAKER_01]: So we're real excited about him as well.
12:05
[SPEAKER_01]: We couldn't be more happy with where they're at and like I said, they've won seven and a row.
12:09
[SPEAKER_01]: They've done it the right way and they're just continuing to learn.
12:14
[SPEAKER_00]: By the way, the Will Melvin references from last week's Franklin Eagles report, and if you haven't listened to it, first of all, shame on you.
12:22
[SPEAKER_00]: But second of all, go back and listen to it because it was a good one.
12:25
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a lot of fun.
12:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Any talent that you've had your eye on or any teams that have stood out to you in the lower grades?
12:35
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think our seventh and eighth grade both won 19 or 20 games, uh, both teams.
12:39
[SPEAKER_01]: So 40 games that were all our seventh grade team is, uh, extremely intelligent.
12:45
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a team that understands the game really well and how to play it.
12:48
[SPEAKER_01]: They've been well coached, uh, we've had different people in that program helping the Kyle Douglas coach from this year and he's been doing that for a couple of years.
12:56
[SPEAKER_01]: With the help of Matt and they've done a really good job with that group of developed developing them as a team and they're very talented and we're really looking forward to some of those guys coming in the future and then.
13:05
[SPEAKER_01]: Our eighth grade team, I think one 19 or 20 games as well, coached by Dustin Osborne Nick Risinger, two guys who have done a fabulous job for me coming up with these kids, takes people like those guys and Kyle and stuff, you know, time commitments to help us and they've done good jobs with those programs, and that eighth grade team as well.
13:23
[SPEAKER_01]: We've got kids in that program that could be in San Pax within one year, possibly.
13:28
[SPEAKER_01]: So they had a great season, both teams, and I think from the standpoint you look down at the
13:36
[SPEAKER_01]: and the varsity, Franklin basketball's not going to work with the like we've got a good tradition with the like we got something built there and we feel like that we're playing great this year but we don't we don't look for that to change we don't feel like it's changed in the last 15 years.
13:50
[SPEAKER_01]: I know it was good when I wasn't here as a coach coach boxer coach Bailey, myf davist all those guys before me had good programs so I'm just trying to continue like I've always said what they did first.
13:59
[SPEAKER_01]: feel like we've got that with the 7th and 8th and 9th grade coming and the JVDs.
14:03
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm from every level because we have a C team as well and the C team has done well under Coach Robinson and we've got nine guys on that team that don't trust JVR varsity.
14:10
[SPEAKER_01]: So in the high school program we've got 26 kids playing the 9th through 12 right now and then 8th grade 7th grade has about 24 or total between the two.
14:18
[SPEAKER_01]: So we feel really good about what's coming and you know you can get beat every year in the sectional.
14:24
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean it's tough.
14:25
[SPEAKER_01]: It's tough to win.
14:29
[SPEAKER_01]: six years and we have had every year that can win the section also, but it's not easy to do.
14:34
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, you feel fortunate when you do it.
14:36
[SPEAKER_00]: This town is never going to let your retire.
14:38
[SPEAKER_00]: It gets just keep coming.
14:40
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no way you're ever leaving.
14:41
[SPEAKER_01]: I love the kids and I love what I'm doing.
14:45
[SPEAKER_01]: I come to work every day and enjoy it.
14:47
[SPEAKER_00]: I've worked for good people here, Frank, and I'm sure at some point you'd like to hand it off, but you can't if you know that there are 60 wins throughout your program or more.
14:57
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, you're, you're kind of, yeah, you're exactly right.
14:59
[SPEAKER_01]: You're looking to develop and those guys, you want to stay.
15:01
[SPEAKER_01]: And right now, I feel good about coaching, because people are always asking me, are you going to get out and your, you know, Ashton's done or whatever.
15:07
[SPEAKER_01]: He's going to be, I said, no, that's not the plan.
15:09
[SPEAKER_01]: Like the plan is is to coach and keep coaching until I know the day has come where it's time for to change hands.
15:15
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to be probably one of those guys.
15:17
[SPEAKER_01]: It's still here, Coach, and when I'm 80,
15:19
[SPEAKER_01]: Not that there's anything wrong with that.
15:21
[SPEAKER_01]: No, of course for me I got a lot of other things I like to do in life and one of them's golf and so you know at some point my life I would love to pass it along to One of my former players is what I would like to see happen and obviously Brady Ashton's in there now I've got my eyes on Austin Because I'd love to get him back in the program as well But I would like it to go to former players that are ready to coach and get in here and take it over and then
15:46
[SPEAKER_01]: I can sit back and watch, you know, the last 25, 30 years of my life.
15:49
[SPEAKER_01]: Hopefully, if I live that long, so I can't believe I'm already this.
15:53
[SPEAKER_01]: It seems like I just started here at the age of 30.
15:56
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, when I got the job, I was 29 years old, and I'm
15:59
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't know anything about how to be a head coach.
16:01
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, people can say they do, but I, you know, I played the game.
16:04
[SPEAKER_00]: I played college, I coach high school, but it's amazing how we look back how done we were.
16:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.
16:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Everybody.
16:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
16:11
[SPEAKER_01]: If a coach looks back and says, well, I had all the successors generally than you had a lot of talent.
16:16
[SPEAKER_01]: When I was, when I was hearing we first started the kids that had to play for me at that time, I didn't understand the game like I do now.
16:22
[SPEAKER_01]: There's no more Harrison and
16:23
[SPEAKER_01]: And we did some of the same things, but there's a lot, for me, I think the best thing I ever did was not only did I hire guys that could be head coaches, like Marty Carroll, Kevin Bates, Coach Bakker, those type of people that could be head coaches, Brady Ashton now, those guys taught me a lot about the game.
16:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Marty was, Marty was instrumental when he came over here the 10 years he spent with me, it was perfect timing.
16:51
[SPEAKER_01]: uh... because i was a young coach i didn't understand what a program needed to look like and i think he helped me make help me see that having gars throat is a mentor helps absolutely and i think we we work really well together we're still very good friends i enjoyed every day spent having around because we learned a lot and we picked now we pick each other's brain every Friday Saturday night uh... but branched out i went and watch it and i have to practice a winchester
17:14
[SPEAKER_01]: I did go to Garth County, you know, before he had passed, I went over to Garth County.
17:18
[SPEAKER_01]: I watched him practice coach Bacher, you know, I'm always picking his brain, Jimmy Hal.
17:23
[SPEAKER_01]: I've got a good relationship with Coach Hall.
17:25
[SPEAKER_01]: He's one of the best people I've ever been around in my life.
17:28
[SPEAKER_01]: When we first started, we were competitors.
17:30
[SPEAKER_01]: I, at 30, was dumb.
17:32
[SPEAKER_01]: Didn't pick his brain just wanted to be eating, couldn't be eating.
17:35
[SPEAKER_01]: And then eventually, we beat La Pelsam, and
17:38
[SPEAKER_01]: It was like, what am I doing here?
17:39
[SPEAKER_01]: I need to branch out and have conversations with Coach Allen.
17:42
[SPEAKER_01]: Once I got to know him on a personal level, I've called him this year three or four times already.
17:46
[SPEAKER_01]: Just to pick his brain, Coach McCullough, that was a, no was will.
17:50
[SPEAKER_01]: I talked to him this week twice.
17:52
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I'm constantly reaching out trying to learn but also asking the opinion of what they're doing.
17:58
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the best thing I've done.
17:59
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the best advice I could have for young coaches too.
18:02
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's what's helped me grow our programs by learning from other people and some of the best.
18:08
[SPEAKER_00]: It's great to be a head coach in a town that takes basketball seriously.
18:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely, you know, when I was young and growing up here, I was first watching Calvary Coach and, and, um, it's right.
18:18
[SPEAKER_01]: Coach Bailey's one of the best obviously, and I think Coach Barker, I just can't say enough about because he's been part of my life, you know, for 40 years, I can't say enough about him and what he's done.
18:30
[SPEAKER_01]: The thing that people don't understand about Coach Barker and they never will probably is why he would do for you.
18:37
[SPEAKER_01]: And
18:38
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, he wasn't just the most outgoing going to go talk to you on the side all the time as a parent or whatever, but I will tell you this since he's become a coach for me.
18:46
[SPEAKER_01]: That guy, if I called him tonight and said, hey, I need you come watch my kids for two days.
18:51
[SPEAKER_01]: He'd be right there.
18:52
[SPEAKER_01]: Like that's what he's all about.
18:53
[SPEAKER_01]: He's, he's a really good person.
18:56
[SPEAKER_01]: He's one of the best people I've been around.
18:57
[SPEAKER_01]: He does everything the right way.
18:59
[SPEAKER_01]: He's a very honest person.
19:00
[SPEAKER_01]: So, been fortunate to be around him and and take over after him.
19:04
[SPEAKER_00]: Coach, thank you so much for your time, as always.
19:06
[SPEAKER_00]: It's always my pleasure to get to talk about the Frank Domingles.
19:11
