  Speaker 1: Welcome to the Yukon Men's Basketball Coaches Show. Dan Hurley
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: with me, I'm Mike Crispiano. We get together pretty much
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: every week throughout the season. It's a long run. Begins
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: in November and that's where we are as Yukon is
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: two and oh coach, Uh, these first couple of games.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: I know, you know, there's no perfection in any sport
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: that I've ever heard of. But do you try to
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: be perfect with your team, with your guys or what's
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: the take on your approach in these early games?
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean this, you know, I mean the standards
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: are you know, uh, you know high for how you
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: want to play. I don't know. Obviously, playing a perfect
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: game is as good as we've played the last couple
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: of years. As there's no there's no such thing. You know,
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: you're looking for growth, you're looking for you know, development,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: You're trying to find out who's going to be able
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: to fill what type of role and who's stepping up.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: And yeah, I mean to expect the games to be
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: played perfectly opening night. Yeah, that's not an expect.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: You're scoring in the nineties, you're giving up in the fifties,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: you're winning by thirty plus. I mean, you can't really
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: how much can you ask for from the team in
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: these early November games as you, I guess, assess it
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: when the game's over.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: I think things that are reasonable is you could apply
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: the techniques that we teach, that you could look like
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: you have a grasp of the tactics in our style
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: of play, that you're going to play incredibly hard, and
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: that you're going to play with play with a lot
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: of force and a lot of enthusiasm, and just I
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: think what you're looking for is just that people look
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: like they understand how we're trying to play and how
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: hard we play when we play.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: You got some, obviously the returning guys who have won
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: a couple of championships Hassandiera and Alex Caravan and Samson
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Johnson and those guys know what it takes. Obviously. Now
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: you've got some new players, guys who came from other programs.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Are they understanding is Aiden Mahoney getting what you know
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: the standard has to be? And Tess Reid guys that
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: have been in other schools and had success, but now
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: they're playing at this level where you know you're asking
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: for the ultimate really every time they step on the court.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, Mike, we need we need whether you're
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: a freshman uh trying to you know, earn a role
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: or play a big role, or you're you know, those
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: transfers from you know, from Michigan and Saint Mary's. You know,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: we can't afford for them to to not play the
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: way that we play at Yukon. You know, we could
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: ill afford, you know, for Tarrists to do the things
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: that he was doing you know at Michigan, at his position.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: You know what we need him being a Yukon front
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: court player the way you know that are front court
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: players play great screeners, rim protectors, you know, warriors, great rebounders.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: You know, people that you know could understand, you know,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: the complexities of how we play basketball. And to expect
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: those guys to be uh, you know on point both
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: he and Aiden uh after Game two at this point
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: would be an unfair expectation. You know. It just it
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: takes some time here, especially to acclimate to uh, you know,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: to the demands and riggers of the program and uh
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: and to the standards. But you know, we need them
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: to uh, you know, we need them to learn quickly
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: because the season is underway.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it certainly is. And Terras you know, six ' ten,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: two sixty. I'm not making comparisons here, but his body wise,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: he kind of reminds me of Andre Drummon a little bit.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: And Andrea tremendous rebound has had a pretty darn good
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: NBA career only one year at Yukon. Uh, when you're
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: a center and you're that kind of size, should you
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: be a guy that expects to dominate the boards. I
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: know that it's an ongoing process and Yukon's always, you know,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: been a really good rebounding team in these last couple
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: of years. But is that what you're hoping for from him?
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean there's a lot of things you're hoping for.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: You know. Tarris has got, uh, just a lot of
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: physical tools, and I think he's yeah, he's he's he's
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: got in a live personality, you know. But there's things
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: like you know, hitting people first when shot goes up,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: or hitting people on screens, uh violently, and then and
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: then attacking rebounds like your life depends on it with
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: two hands, you know. And then it's you know, it's
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: finding yourself uh from a defensive standpoint, you know, not
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: being underneath the rim as guards are or are attacking
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: to rim, being a big presence and protecting the rim.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: There's you know, catching it when you have deep position,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: just turning and scoring and not dribbling the ball, uh,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: where guards now will come down and swipe at it
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: or you get fouled and now you've got to make
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: two free throws. So I just think there's a you know, there,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: there's an identity you know that that the Tarris has
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: got to develop in terms of the things that he
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: should focus on being good at. And uh, a lot
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: of them are fundamental things like like grabbing the ball
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: with two hands and and uh, playing for position and
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: being a great screener and rebounder.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Dan Hurley Willis and the Ukon men's basketball coaches show, Hey, Dan,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: he looks like a good free throw shooter. I like
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: his form is his rotation. Uh, and I think he's
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: going to go to the line quite a bit this year.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: It seems like, Yeah, I think, uh, well, you know,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: we're I think we're hopeful there he uh you know,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: he depractices it, you know, diligently, and yeah, he doesn't
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: have he's got good mechanics. And I think it's a
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: matter of of of of just uh, you know, continued
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: continued practice, and he's going to get fouled a lot,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: so it's important that he makes them.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's good news actually, because that puts you
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: in the bonus and the double bonus and getting free
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: points at the at the line of this season. On Folds,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Dan Hurley with us, the Yukon Mets Basketball Coaches Show
