  Speaker 1: Right, We're back with Dan Hurley on the Yukon Men's
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Basketball Coaches Show. Just wrapping up that Butler game for
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: a moment, Coach Caravan on an ankle. It was not
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent and he told us in a postgame
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: it hurt. Nineteen point seven rebound, six assists, three blocks,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: by the way part of winning that game. I mean,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: that guy, I can't run. I don't run out of
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: superlatives with him. I just can't. I got to come
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: up with new stuff every game.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: The way he attacked the game. And listen his ankle.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: You know, there's a lot of players that a lot
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: of basketball players.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Would not have played on his ankle.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: You know, they would have been thinking longer term about themselves.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: But that's Caraban.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: And you know, as a man and as a competitor
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: and as a Yukon man. So yeah, I mean, I
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: just want him to attack every game he plays like that.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: You know, like I said, where he took seventeen shots,
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: you know where he was all over both backs, you
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: know where he was being an assertive player. You know,
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: I don't want to ever go back to like the
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: three shot attempts at halftime box.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Score that I look at with him, it's like, you know, you.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: Came back here to obviously to pursue more championships, but
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: also to learn how to be a leading man. And
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: you know, part of learning how to be a leading
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: man is just a willingness on a nightly basis to
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: attack the game and to take the shots and to
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: drive the ball, and to attack the game in a
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: manner where you're just super assertive and super aggressive and
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: if it doesn't work out in the end, we'll live
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: with the results. You've got to be able to accept
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: the criticism that comes with that, the responsibility that comes
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: with that. I know how that feels. And that's the
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: responsibility that the best player feels when you know, and
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: you've got to be willing to attack it that way,
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: and that's the responsibility that you know that only the
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: face of the team and the head coach feel the
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: weight and that in the program.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Ale's caravan. And this I don't know if you
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: if this is a fair question or not, but a
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: guy who's is unselfish and his team oriented, is someone
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: like him when you say you got to be our
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: leading man, does he have to cross over a little
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: boundary and almost be a little selfish in some sense
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: to do what you want him to do well.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: In particular with with with Liam out at this particular time,
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: he has to be I think he's forced to do
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: a lot more with Liam Ount, I think unfortunately for Hassan,
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: you know, he's having to do more creating and have
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: the ball in his hands more, just because we don't
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: have a lot of players that you know, are natural
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: creative with the dribble so or can generate shots and
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: two on ball situations to create opportunities for the centers
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: and the shooters. So you know, I think, you know what,
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: when Liam is back and healthy, it's going to allow
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: him to maybe be a little bit less aggressive. But
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: even when Liam is he should be asserting himself on
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: these games. You know, he's one of the best players
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: in the Big East. He's a first teamer in the
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Big East, and he should attack these games like he's
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: a he's a player of the year type of guy.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: You mentioned the Bigs Samson. Johnson had a couple of
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: good games in a row. He was plus twelve in
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the Butler game, fourteen points for him, five rebounds, four blocks.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about him first, because Samson has been around. Obviously,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: he's a winner. He's had got a couple of rings.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: He's been a program guy and an important player for
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: the Huskies in the last several seasons. What are you
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: seeing from him here in these last couple It seems
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: to me like he looks like he's extended himself to
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: a little bit of another level because he's really developed
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: and really contributed big time in these last few.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, Sam is a warrior, you know, and
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: it's like he just he gives you, It just gives
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: you absolutely everything he's got. This team doesn't isn't filled
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: with those types of you know, competitive warrior types. You know,
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: where hard Camp Spencer played, how hard Andre Jackson.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Played for you.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: You know, these guys were like action heroes and and
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: you know and and and even you know, like you know,
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Donovan and Adama. I mean, these guys were just warrior
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: types and you know, in their own way, and and uh,
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: you know, like that's what Samson brings. And that's why
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: we just, you know, we've we've got to start to
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: start games with him in the lineup because you need
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: people like that, especially to start a game playing with
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: that level of just urgency and effort and and his
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: you know, his offensive. You know, listen, we we're the
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: foul discrepancy, you know, on a nightly basis. I think
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: part of it is you know, bad fortune, you know,
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: and part of it is, you know, we've got to
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: do more to continue to throw the ball to both centers.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: You know, we've got to develop, continue to develop tarifs
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: as a guy, we could throw it in the post too.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: And then we got to get the ball to Samson more,
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: you know in space as a roller non lob dunk
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: where you know he could He's got you know, one
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: dribble attack the rim. You know, we just we got
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: to get fouled more. We got to find more ways
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: to generate you know, paint points and rim shots and uh,
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: you know, but Sampson people, you know, like you just
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: have no idea, you know how critically important his spirit
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: is to our program right now.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: He's a back to back champion.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: He's got two rings like Caravan and Diara. Terris Reid
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: had been a quiet couple of games. I know you
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: got into him and practice. You were telling me twenty
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: three minutes against Butler, I want to hear more about
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: that fourteen points in the game, and Red made some
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: big plays for you, and maybe the biggest one in
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: overtime off that loose ball and I thought was going
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: to end up being a turnover ends up in his hands.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: He gets a layup out of it, and that was
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: kind of the bucket that put you over the top
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: in that one.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what Tyris is like. At times, Taris
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: has been a completely different player, but we haven't been
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: able to unlock it all the way on an every
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: single possession basis. Playing with the force and the tenacity
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: and the identity. He doesn't make that type of violent
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: physical first contact and play with a nastiness nasty Adama.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Was as a player. Adamo is nasty. I mean he
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: would just destroy you. He was a he was vicious,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: he was ruthless.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: And you know that that's something that you know that
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: holds Taris back right now from being as good as
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: he can be. You know, I hope to be the
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: coach that can unlock it. I hope that it's not
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: another coach that unlocks it. But you know what, we're
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: trying to get him there because you know, when he
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: shows up, you know, at his absolute max of what
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: he's capable of he's a he's a difference maker. He's
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: a great starting center for somebody, and at a dominant center.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but what that'd be nice to unlock all of
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: his gifts, that's for sure. Dan Hurley with us back
