• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Huh.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, No, that's first time in my life I've ever
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: worn a jersey with somebody's name on it. Really, first
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: time ever? Come on, honest to God, I swear to
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: God when I was a kid, you wouldn't be caught that.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't be caught that wearing a jersey with somebody
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: else's name on it. Wow, seriously, it's either my name
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: or nobody's name.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Well, you know that's true because the one jersey I
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: have is an old Bob Joyce Bruins jersey and no kidd.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Bob Joyce played for the Bruins. He played with Craig
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Janny and Cam Neely. Yeah, and he went to North
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Dakota and won a national championship. That was like late eighties.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: But anyhow, But when I threw out the first pitch
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: for the Mets against the Phillies, okay, I got a
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Mets jersey with my name on the back.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Nice.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: Okay, it didn't put like strawberry or no, no, no,
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: dway good's.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Have you ever, by the way, all the ceremonial first
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: pitches that you've thrown, have you ever bounced one?
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Nope? No, that would be the most embarrassing thing ever
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: for somebody who spent so many years pitching the basketball
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: when I was a kid. That although I did get
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: a great tip right before I went out there and
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: the Mets, one of the guys in the clubhouse said
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: you want to warm up? I said yeah. So they
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: take me to the back there to warm up. Oh yeah,
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: just throw and he says to me, he says, look
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: see this. He goes, there's not dirt on the mound,
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: like right here, It's not dirt. It's granular, so that
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: the pictures fuck and slide. And I said, interesting, because
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: obviously when we're kids, you know, I play to eighteen
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: it was dirt.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it was a big, big pitch. Yeah, it's
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: a dirt yeah, I know, he says.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: So a lot of people go up there and they
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: don't realize that when you step like these major lingers,
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: their left foot is going to slide and they get yeah.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: So I went up there and I was like this,
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: you know, playing around with it, and he goes, that's
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: why they throw it into the dugout and throw it
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: all over the place. So that was a great heads.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Up, all right.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: I asked Page that I threw a big breaking ball
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: that was that was a strike too. I mean it
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: would have gone out. Whoever was batting would have hit
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: it out of the park, but it was a.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Strike, all right. Uh one.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: I mean I mentioned Page at the very beginning because
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: she's a rock star and stuff.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: But as far as her on court.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Stuff goes, she said double two double doubles in the
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: last three games, last six forty two assists, eight turnovers,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: back to back twenty three point games. She seems like
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: she's starting to get in that mode now with March approaching,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: you would hope.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah. We spend a lot of time these last
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: two weeks talking about, you know, moving, moving without the ball.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: I think that's a huge skill that today's players want
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: to totally overlook. When they don't have the ball in
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: their hands, they just kind of stand around and watch
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: the game, you know, and he can't do that, no,
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: And what they don't understand is when you have the ball,
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: that's when they're going to trap you. That's when they're
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: not going to let you do what you want to do.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: So when you don't have the ball and you're moving
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: without the ball, they have to chase you. And the
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: more you move, the more they have to chase you.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: And you're better off trying to get a bucket on
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: somebody that's chasing you that you can lose, rather than
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: having the ball in your hands all the time. They
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: know exactly where you are, and then they trap you
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: and they make you get rid of it. So it's
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: a combination of the two things we're trying to do.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: But the more she moves without the ball, the more,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: you know, and then when we do put the ball
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: in her hands, you know, she's been really aggressive with it,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: so she's been she's been using those middle ball screens
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: a lot and getting a lot of shots up. So yeah, no,
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: I you know, I've been thrilled with the way she's
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: playing right now.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: She just passed Carrie Bascom, Colleena Musquete, Lewis, and Nikisha
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Sales in the all time list. So she's twenty one
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: eighty nine, which is sixth all time. Lose next, but
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: she's got to go a little ways twenty three forty
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: two and then Tina's twenty three forty six. But those
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: are impressive numbers. What she's played one hundred and ten
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: hundred and something like that game, that's pretty impressive, it is,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: and give given the situation that's been over the years.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: I mean a lot of those other players played a
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: lot of all Americans. I think Page is played with
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: what one yeah in her time. Yeah, and that was
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Alea last year.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's good and bad to play with a lot
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: of all Americans. You know, when you play with a
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: lot of all Americans, you don't play as many minutes
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: and you don't necessarily get a lot of shots, So
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: you've got to be really efficient, which she is. When
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: you play with a lot of all Americans, you don't
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: get double team as much, and she hasn't necessarily had
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: the benefit of that this year more, you know, more
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: so she's able to play freely because we have too
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: many players that they have to guard. But yeah, most
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: of those guys were playing one hundred and twenty five
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: hundred and thirty games, right at least how many she played.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: I think somewhere around one ten. I think something like that.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so she's way behind in games, but she's been
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: so efficient that that's kind of what's helped her get
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: to that number. But you know, she just passed the
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: Keisha Sales.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Nikisha, Colleen Lewis and Carrie.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Nakisha averaged twenty four minutes a game. I mean,
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: think about sixteen of those forty minutes she sat on
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: the bench.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Think about how many three thousand point scores you would
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: have if you if you played your best players all
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: the time.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: Oh, I wouldn't have any friends, exactly, None of the
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: other coaches would talk to me ever.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Again, exactly, that's the point I was.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: And it wouldn't be Yeah, it wouldn't be fun anyway.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: All right, we'll come back wrap things up with Gino
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: here on the radio portion of the kind of Women's
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Basketball Coaches Show.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: In just a moment here on Learfield,
