  Speaker 1: Back with Dan Hurley on the Yukon Men's Basketball Coaches Shaw.
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: I believe Terris Reed Junior will join us in the
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: next two segments. The women back at it Wednesday, they
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: take on Fairly Dickinson at Gampbell the celebration of not
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: only forty years of Gino Arima and Chris Daly, but
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: a chance to break the all time wins record in
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: college basketball. Debbie joined me for that broadcast at six
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: thirty on Wednesday night here on the Yukon Sports Network.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Speaking of Gino, I know you two have a quite
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: the relationship and I want to mention something, run something
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: by you first. I saw this. Gino mention this the
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: night of your first championship game against San Diego State.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: He mentioned it to you being the worst night of
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: your life potentially, because if you'll win, you're gonna want more,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: and if you lose, you're gonna do everything that takes
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: in your power to get your team back. Well, if
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: not only if you won one, you've won two, but
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: what's that like you now that you've won two, in
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: the hunger to keep doing it over and over and
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: over again, like he's been chasing it for the last
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: thirty years.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean what was it like when he told
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: me that, Bob, And when he told me that, I
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: was like, why are you telling me that? For the
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: most part, you've only been telling me like good stuff
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: that I could use that's been helpful, and what you're
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: telling me right now is like totally not going to
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: be helpful.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: But I mean, yeah, I mean it's uh. I would
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: say the part of it that you know, it's just
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: it's this weird dilemma that you have because like what's
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: made coaches like Geno so incredible and the best coaches
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: who they are, is that they do it. They do
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: it because they do what they do because there's a
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: sense of purpose that comes with helping the people around you,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: young people, the staff members that Geno has had, the people,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: the lives that he's impacted as a coach, and the
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: lives you get to impact as a coach. Is is
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: what it's. It's the good part. It's the part that
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: uh that fills your soul. It makes you feel whole
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: as a human being. So you have that part of it,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: But then you do there's a you do get haunted
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: by the success and the experience of being a national
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: champion and what that feels like to reach the pinnacle. Uh,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: the the elation, the sense of accomplishment that being the
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: best in the best in the world at what you do,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: because uh, I don't think that we would lose to
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: a university in Spain or or a college in Brazil.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: You know, so like you were the when you win
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: a national championship on the men's and the women's side,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: you have the best in the world of what you
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: do and you just can't imagine the season ending in
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: any other way once you've experienced that. So I get it.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: I'm in a small club of people that could get
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: what cheat I was talking about.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, Exis and O's wise, I know you
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: run some very intricate stuff. What Kamani and Luke and
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: you and Tom put up with, you know, put together
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: is really good. But I imagine when you've watched Gino runs
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: a lot of his stuff in your time there, you know,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: watching his team practice or even just watching games on television,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: are they kind of similar to what you're trying to do?
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: They are. I think a lot of the concepts are similar.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: I would say, what what moved me when when we
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: weren't good. Uh, and we weren't where we are within
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: the last two years, two and a half years, as
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: it started to kind of you know kick in, you know,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: on the on on the team that that that lost
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: to New Mexico State, that actually was a pretty good team,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: a five seed in the tournament. Was just the ball movement,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: I think, the the commitment to, you know, getting that
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: ball moving. I think from watching them play and going
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: over and watching practice and and seeing the like the
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: the off the ball movement, the the off the ball movement,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: the player movement, the ball movement, like the high assists,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: the low turnovers. It had an impact on the way
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: that that we went about playing offense. Obviously, you have
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: all these different motivations that you use and inspirations, you know,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: from watching all levels of basketball, men's, Women's EuroLeague, WNBA,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: NBA Division two NIA. You look for great ideas anyway
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: anywhere you can find them, but like watching them play
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: efficiently offensively, ball movement pace, that had an influence on
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: the way that we teached offense.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Okay, let's step over to your new class. A freshman
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: that'll be coming in next year. Darius Adams six '
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: five big guard out of New Jersey, Jacob Furpey out
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: of Australia sixty six two ten. I believe his nickname
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: is Tazzi. I like that Brayln Mullins six ' five
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: out of Indiana. You've got three big guards there, and
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: then a seven footer from Germany, Erica Raiba. This sounds
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: like a pretty good class from what I understand.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, high end talent, you know, Bob, high
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: end talent, and you know, I think, you know, talent
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: along the lines of you know, the the Jordan Hawkins,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: the the Donovan Klingen, the Steph Castle, you know, the
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Adamis Sinog. I mean, just like guys that are ready
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: to come in and and help you right away with
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: with with early entry NBA level talent across the board.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: You know, the big guards that we had great success
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: with that complement each other. I think Braylan and and
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Darius are going to be awesome in the back court together.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: You know, Firth, it fits fits us like a glove.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: I think he's got a potential cam spencer like comp
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: is uh Is. It would be perfect for him, I
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: think in terms of what he could become. Uh and
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: then Eric Uh you know Eric's offenses. It's uh, there
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: hasn't been many any offensive players that are coming into college.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Uh with his skill set. He's a he's a scorer,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: he's a three point shooter. He's a guy that could
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: face up, post up, pass handle. You know, we're gonna
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: help him become an impact defender, maybe rebound this position
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: even with more ferocity. But this guy is a he's
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: a weapon on offense as a center. So you know,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: we lost so much high end talent the last couple
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: of years here we really needed, uh, this infusion of
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: talent coming in.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's good that you're not doing it through
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: the portal like the old fashioned way. That's that sounds awesome. Finally,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: East Texas A and M tomorrow night, they're just coming
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: off with one over Southern game that had nine tighs,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: seven lead changes. They got the game winner with a
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: minute to go that it was blocked steel block to
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: close it out. What do you have you seen from
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: the line so far?
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they play a unique defense which you
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: don't see a lot. They're gonna switch everything on the
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: ball and off the ball one through five. So you know,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: that's a unique thing that you rarely if ever see, uh,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: you know in the college game here, so you know,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: a true switching man to man defense. Uh, you know,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: really athletic, really aggressive team. And uh, you know, we
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: we've obviously got to take care of business. You know,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: we're looking to play you know, bulletproof basketball here. You know,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: we're looking to you know, shut people out from a
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: defensive standpoint. You know, let's keep a team under thirty
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: five percent from the field. Let's shoot over fifty percent
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: from the field at our end. Let's dominate the backboard,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: you know, let's be high assist, low turnover, and let's
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: go out and handle our business.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: All right, Let's get it done. Six thirty on the
• 7:35
