  Speaker 2: Say, yeah, yeah, no, I couldn't get out yesterday. But
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: you know one of our customers here, PJ Tucker. He
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: does a pretty good job on my on my driveway.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Nice nice shout out there you go.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: And if you're listening, you know my deck and my roof,
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: I know they have these big rakes that you can
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: pull all the snow off so you don't get those
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: ice dams.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't do that. Yeah, so don't try that
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: at home, Geno.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if you're listening, PJ.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: One of the Huskies on your team that is playing
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: pretty well as of late. I mean she's done a
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: lot so much this year for you, but starting to
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: produce point wise, consistent, consistently, Ashland Shade, and she's part
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: of this thing you need to figure out for March
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: in April, you know, And you said this last week.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: You know you need to have Sarah and as he
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: played great, but now you need that third or fourth
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: option like Asy was in a way last year, right,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: And it seems like Ash is starting to come around
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: double figures in four of her last five, closing in
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: on a thousand points for her career. She just seems
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: to be just at you know, she's been confident her
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: game all year. But it's nice to see the ball
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: at least falling through for her in the basket consistently now,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: and she's put together a nice little run over the
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: last handful of games.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you have to have a third consistent score, whoever
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: that is. I mean, for a while there was Blanca,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: you know, but you know, Ash was a scorer, like
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: all these great players that played you know, high school basketball.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: That summer circuit that they have, you know that eybl
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: that Nike runs, it's like the elite of all the
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: best players in the country. She led, she led, She
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: led the league in scoring all summer. Nobody could nobody
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: could guard her. So, you know, the early the season,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: when the shots weren't dropping, it was like, you know,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: it was weird because that's her thing. She wasn't like
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: a great three point shooter, and she's become a very
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: very good three point shooter, but when she wasn't making
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: any it was tough. And then her pull up is
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: like automatic, almost you know. So you know, that started
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: to kind of mess with her mind a little bit.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: But she's gotten better every single year and that's all
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: you can ask for. You know. Freshman year she was
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: one way. Last year she was another way. Unless she
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: had twenty points in the first quarter against Iowa State,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: And she made like her first five or six threes. Yeah, yeah,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: something like that.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So when she gets a going, man, she's really really,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: really good. And I think I have to run more
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: place for her because, you know, sometimes I get caught
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: up in like, all right, let's get three for easy,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: let's get a bucket for Sarah, you know, and those
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: other guys they get their shots because they try to
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: work so hard to keep those other guys from scoring,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: you know whatever. But I think I got to run
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: more stuff for her. I tried to do that the
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: other night. Yeah. I tried to do that the other night,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: and before the ball got to her, uh, we turned
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: it over. So yeah, I don't want to relive that
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: that particular that particular possession.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Okay, Uh, you've got two games left in the regular
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: season Thursday, Georgetown Hartford Sunday the Garden Saint John's.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's another thing.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Other than you know, you've you know, you've already won
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: the Big East. You're going to be the top seed.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Do you tinkered all those two games and experiment with
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: a few things or do you just stick to what's worked?
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: No, I mean there's not much you can do right now.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: You know, we kind of we are what we are.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: We just go play and I think the kids would say, hey, look, uh,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: we just talked about this today. Actually, goal number one
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: is you want to you want to win the conference
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: that you're in. You know, you want to win the championship.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Whether it was the original Big East that we want
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: the championship or the second Big East that we won
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: the championship, or the third Big East that we want
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: a championship, or the A A seed that we want
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: a championship, and the new Big East that we want
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: a championship. That's what your number one goal is. You
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: want to win the conference championship, whatever conference ory. You know.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: But they have a chance to go undefeated in the league,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: and I think that's probably pretty important to that, you know,
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: So that's kind of what they're they're thinking. So it's
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: not you don't really have to do anything different. You
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: just got to try to keep doing what you're doing.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Now after the Big East Tournament, going into the NCAA Tournament,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: and maybe after the regular season, after Sunday's game against
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Saint John's. Maybe that week because you got Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: maybe you come out with a few little things that
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: they haven't seen before. And then certainly after the Big
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: East Tournament.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Now when you've got like two weeks, two weeks.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: But you have to be really careful because I've seen
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: this at other times other places. You let's say, let's
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: say we're undefeated after the biggest tournament. Let's just say,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: and now we go to practice and for three days,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: I go, hey, look, this is what we're going to
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: do in nc tournament. We're gonna they're gonna go, wait
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: a minute, So the stuff we've been doing isn't good enough. Yeah,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Like we got to resort to this stuff. So you
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: got to be careful how you kind of present that,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: you know, so you don't present it as something new.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: You have to present it as this is what we're
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: doing that's really good. But if we kind of do
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: that with it, it looks different and they'll be like, yeah,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: they'll never know what's coming. Yeah, the other night, hack
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: All and Ali were in the game and we we
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: have this play called two up where we just like
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: our shooter starts on the right side. They come into
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: the lane, they set a screen for the guy going
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: the other way. We hope they screw it up, and
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: then they run off a double screen by our big
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: guys at the Falon. You know, it's kind of call
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: on an elevator screen with her like this guy runs between.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Then they close the doors and the guy can't get through. Well,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Heckle and Ali, and Heckle's never involved in this place.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: She's usually handling the ball. But KK was out on
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: the floor, so Ali is over here, Heckle's over here.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: So they're not in the right spots supposedly, But in
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: my mind, I'm like, all right, so they're gonna run
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: like this, and then Ali's just gonna come off the
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: double screen and we're gonna get the same shot just
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: a different way. No, we come down, they look at
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: each other, they run past each other. I have to
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: go start over here, Ali thinks, Hecko goes, I gotta
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: get over here, and then after they get there, it's like, okay,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: we ready go. Then they go back to the middle
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: and meet in the middle, and I'm watching this whole thing,
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, this is like a Three Stooges movie.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Here
