• 0:00
  Speaker 1: We're back with Dan Hurley. The Yukon Men's Basketball Coaches show.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Dan going into the mailbag a little bit here. I
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: kind of collect these comments from fans my various meanderings
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: around the arenas, et cetera. I got a couple of
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: good ones for you. One of them came from We're
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: gonna get this straighter, Oh Tom from Milford. He's got
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: a good memory, and it's going to bring up a
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: bad memory. So stick with me here, they said. He
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: asked me if did Malachai Smith apologize to you when
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: he got to campus after Dayton had dumped Yukon and
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: the Maui Invitational.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: No, he has not apologized to you know whatever. You know,
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: fan that is, and I'm not going to comment. You
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: know what happened for both teams after that. Uh, you
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: know the season didn't end in Maui. That was the
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: thing about Maui. You know, like the season did keep
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: going on after Maui, and we were, I guess at
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: least able to you know, stabilize from that point, you know,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: from a positive standpoint, and you know, beat beat Baylor
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: at home, beat a couple NCAA tournament teams, beat Texas
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: on the road and Beacon Zaga at the garden. So
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: so whoever asked that question, I would say that I
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: I think we probably responded, you know, well to Maui.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: We probably responded better than Malachi did to Maui.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: All right, here's the other one, Brian from Maybe they
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: celebrated too much after.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: That they did it. They were pretty excited.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: I could hear him. They were in the locker room.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: They were well, I don't want to say a locker
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: room next.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: Door, because it's no locker rooms. It's pretty bad. That was.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: All right, Brian from Avon. He's been following, you know,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Braylon Mullins trying to get back on the court, et cetera.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: And he was he was.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Reading about, you know, Drew Hurley working out against Braylan
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: on the court, trying to you know, make him take
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: tough shots and all this stuff. But he wanted to
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: know if Brayln Mullins has been schooling Drew Hurley here
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: on the return back to the court.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I I I in one way as
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: a father, I hope not because you don't want to
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: see your your your your kid do badly. But then
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: as a coach, I would probably be hoping that that's happening,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: because this is a guy that we need that should
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: be able to do very well versus our gas if
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: we're going to have any success.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: All right, good answer, all right, Damari Silas Demery hard
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: me thirty minutes the other day point guard extraordinary? Really
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: you when you go ten, ten and ten as kind
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: of what you want to do if you're the guy
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: with the ball in your hands all the time. What'd
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: you make of that game by Silas the other night
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: against Bryan, Yeah, I.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Mean he's seeing things obviously pretty well.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: I think there's there's a handful of op opportunities assists
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: that we're just left on the table where he didn't
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: see the roller or he didn't see the three point shooter.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: There were finishes at the rim. I just think, you know,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: it's awesome. I mean it's like the kid is, you know,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: really acclimating to what we want him to be here,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: and you know he's I think he's it's just doing
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: a great job of pushing himself to be what we
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: need him to be. And I think that as coaches
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: and all of us in this building, you know, I
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: think we give ourselves credit for the you know, for
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: the things that we do well, but we're also you know,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: honest with ourselves when there's opportunities to either play or
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: coach better. And I think in his mind that was
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: a game where maybe it should have been seventeen points
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: fourteen assists.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: He and rebands, you know, so I think, you know,
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: you make sure as a coach that you let the
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: player know.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: That he's given you a lot and that you appreciate
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: his efforts, but that there's uh, there's definitely opportunities and
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: plays to be made out there that we're missing on.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: All Right.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Up ahead is Illinois a day after Thanksgiving. I know
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: you were talking about having turkey on Wednesday so you
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: could recover and be ready to roll on Friday. But
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: this team, this Illinois team, I mean, it looks like
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: a EuroBasket roster. I'm looking at you know, guys from Montenegro, Greece,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: San Juan, Puerto Rico, Croatia.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Probably a few of them have played professionally already as
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: teenagers in Europe because he went to academies over there.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: This is a different kind of challenge, isn't it. Playing
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: a team like this is kind of an older group.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: It looks like, yeah, I mean older physical, you know,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: you using the you know, I think the portal extremely well,
• 4:49

  Speaker 2: and skill and you know, I think it's on film.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: I've seen almost every team in the country play. I
