  Speaker 1: You know, back of Caffe or Gin entertaining the folks here, engage.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: He's so much fun. You sit here.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: I got the best job in the world working with
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: this guy. Husky's in Goinova. We touched on that Tomorrow
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: night six thirty on the radio pregame. The twenty fifteen
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: and sixteen National Championship teams will be honored. They will
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: go to the Huskies of honor. Brianna Stewart, Morgan Tuck,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Mariah Jefferson.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're pretty good. They'll be here.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Brianna Palito, who was part of that senior class. Fact
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: she hit the last bucket of that twenty sixteen season
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: against Syracuse, Tarny Lawler, Katie lu Samuelson, Kia Stokes, who
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: has had a nice WNBA career for herself, Keia Nurse,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: and Colleena Musquette Lewis. Those will be the players that
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: will be here representing those teams. When I think of Kalina,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: she always came up in the clutch for you in
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: the postseason. There was never a game where she didn't
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: have double figures in a tournament game, whether it be
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Biggiess Tournament or the NCAA Tournament. And she was an
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: All American a couple of times, and I think twice
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: she won the Big East Tournament's Most Outstanding Player freshman
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: and I don't want to say junior year maybe, but
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: she was always dependable and she was that perfect compliment
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: for like Stewie and Tuck and Steph and Bria.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, when when Klena graduated, when she finished school, she
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: was arguably the greatest three points shoot ever played college basketball.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: She had the record when she graduated. Yeah.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Okay, now that's a lot of may threes on a
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: bunch of really good teams. So it's not like some
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: kids back then and today they take twenty shots and
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: they score sixteen points. She take twelve shots and scored
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: twenty five points. Because we work really really hard on
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: being efficient because with all these Ald Americans, how am
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: I going to give you twenty five shots? Twenty three shots,
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: twenty two shots? Not possible. So you're when you do
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: get the ball in your hands, you need to be efficient.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Maybe you get twelve shots, maybe you get twelve, maybe
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: you get eleven, maybe you get ten. Maybe so you
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: go five six for ten, make a couple of free throws,
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: and you all walk out of there with fifteen points
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: and we win all the time. And then some guys,
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: you know, they're going to get big numbers because they're
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: just better than everybody else. And Kleina, all she did
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: was shoot the ball her freshman year, and she led
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: the team in minutes play as a freshman. She played
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: thirty one minutes because I knew like there might be
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: a five minute stretch where the game will end right now,
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: because she'll make five in a row. The thing that
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: happened between her freshman year and senior year is she
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: became a really, really, really, really an amazing basketball.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Player, very underrated re bounder.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: Not just a shooter. She was really rebounded. She's a
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: good passer, she was the well, she couldn't have been
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: the best greener when she played with Steph because Steff's
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: the greatest screener in the history of basketball. But she
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: became a really good screener. She just became an all
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: around basketball player. And that's what I was most proud
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: of is you know, she came in with the reputation
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: of being a shooter and she turned into one of
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: the best basketball players at Yukon.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Two time All American, Right, It's amazing yes, it's amazing
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: that the two kids that were twenty three back to back,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Mayan Kleena.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: You're talking like five thousand points between those two. Oh yeah,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: in eight year span.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: That's a lot of points. Yeah, somebody should take twenty
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: three just for to hel of it and just go,
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: you know, tell their grand kids down the road. You know,
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: everybody who wore my number, we scored like six thousand points.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: You know, I was looking back and this is a norm.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Of course, Yukon is always among the national leaders in
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: assist per game. They lead the country this year about
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: twenty four and a half. Looking at the twenty fifteen team,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: you had five players with one hundred plus assists. Maria
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Jefferson had one ninety one, Stuie had one hundred and
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: twenty two, Kalina had one hundred and four, Morgan had
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: one hundred and fifteen, Kenners had one hundred and eight.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: There have been some years where you've had five get
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: over one hundred. Four over one hundred is always good.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Last year's team had four players over one hundred assists.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: But that just tells you how unselfish. Now there is
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: an asterisk to one of these. The two thousand and
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: one two thousand and two team, they only had two
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: players with one hundred plus, but Sue and d both
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: had over two hundred.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and that that was the anomaly. Well you remember
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: you got what year was that? The one to o
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: two team? Yeah? What do you remember that?
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: We had Shaye as Fat on the team. They ain't
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: passing your assault at dinner, all right, So we had
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: we had Shae ands Fat, We had Asian swim one.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, So we had a lot of.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Guys on our team. You passed the ball to them,
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: they they never come and they're never passing it to anybody.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: But what they all could do was they could finish,
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: So if you were sure, indeed, they're smart enough to
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: like and that's you know, that's why they were great players.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: They didn't really need a lot of shots. They didn't
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: really need that. But you know, when you have that
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: many players that can pass the ball, you are really
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: really really hard to play against. You know, And people
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: ask me all the time, like what are you looking
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: for in recruiting? I said, well, you mean like talent obviously,
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: if you have the kind of talent that can help
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: you play at Ukon. Yeah, and then can you like
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: be unselfish and be a great teammate? You know, so
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: we watch and you know, how do you act? You know,
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: you're a jerk or you're a great teammate, You're a
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: good kid. You bitch at the rest all the time.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: You know what are You're a great kid? And next,
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: can you pass the ball? Will you pass the ball?
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Do you enjoy passing the ball? So that's why we
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: always lead the country and assists because if a kick
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: can pass, I don't recruit them because imagine you got
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: five guys out on the floor and all five of
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: them were high school Americans, and four of them don't
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: want to pass the ball.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: That's hard.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, now you know I made fun of those other guys,
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Feda Shay and all those guys. They were great scores,
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: but if you were open, they would get you the
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: ball after they tried to score.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, take a break.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: We're gonna have a little fun with Gino when we
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: come back on the Yukon Women's Basketball Coaches Show.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: We're live at Cafe or here on Learfield. Stay with us.
