• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Gino won Saturday, it's twelve sixty five and one sixty
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: five is record. He's got eleven hundred more wins than
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: he has losses. That's insane, isn't it. I mean all
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: of the all the insane things that you and your
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: program have done here, but it's also a reflection of
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: what you've been able to do. So congratulations on it.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Eight eighty eight point four to six percent is the
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: winning percentage.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: Well, most people in Kinnutut just care about the next.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: One, the next championship, now the.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: Next well yeah, but I mean like the next win.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: You know, it's like it's like playing for the Yankees.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: You know, when you coach you Kombas was playing for
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: the Yankees. You get evaluated on every app bat with
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: the Yankees. You know, guy wings and misses. Why are
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: we paying him that money?
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: And uh? You kind you know, we shoot the ball bad,
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: or you know, we turn the ball over and we
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: look like a bunch of junior high kids, and you know,
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: everybody loses their mind, like, oh my god, they're never
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: going to beat anybody they play like this. Yeah, we're
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: going to play like that. I wouldn't coach him anymore
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: if they were going to play like that every night.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: But you have that old saying, and the old sports
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: defense wins championships, And that's been pretty good lately.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: Uh yeah, yeah, it has been pretty good. You know,
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: that's kind of the way we talk about it all
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: the time. If you if you play pretty good defensively,
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: you know, you can give yourself a chance to win
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: pretty much every game you play. At least you'll have
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: a chance. Again, if you if you're not a good
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: defensive team, then half the games you play, you're not
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: gonna have a chance to win. So our defense is
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: really good. It gives us a chance to win every
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: single game we play. And then the rest is, you know,
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: depending on how many shots you make. If you make
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: a lot of shots, then you're gonna win by a lot.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: If you don't make a lot of shots, then you
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: have a chance to win by a little. But because
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: you're not going to shoot the ball grade every night.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: I mean, sometimes it looks like we will, but you're
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: not going to shoot the grade every night.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: No. But and you're also pressing a lot more.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: That's the luxury of the depth that you have first
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: in the Big East among the OP teams.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Nationally enforcing turnovers.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, I know you love pressing, and you know
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: k Kate does a good job with that. Sarah gets
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: her hands in passing lanes wherever she's among the league
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: leaders and steals. Blanca comes in along with Canine and
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: just totally changes the game. I mean, there's been a
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: couple of games where first five minutes teams soon each
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: other out.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Those two come in and suddenly.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: It's a ten, twelve to fifteen nothing run with pressure
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: and off you go.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: But you like that pressure you always.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Have, Yeah, I mean we've always tried to play like that.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: That was much easier when I first started coaching at Connecticut,
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: even though our players weren't as good a relative to
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: what we have today, it was easier to coach pressing
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: type defenses, and so we mixed it up. You know,
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: we did a lot of different things defensively, and the
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: kids were pretty smart that I had on my team
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: in the eighties, five, eighty six, eighty seven, eighty eight,
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: eighty nine, you know, between eighty five and ninety and
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: ninety one. Actually when we went to the final four,
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: we had a really smart team. But the thing that
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: allowed us to press more was if we made a
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: mistake and somebody made a shot, it was still only
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: a two. Like the three point line was just coming
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: in to play, and a lot of people didn't know
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: how to use it. You know, we did. I mean,
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: we took advantage of it right away. I mean that's
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: kind of why we got to the final four in
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: nineteen ninety one, as we embraced it and we took
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: advantage of it long before anybody else did. But you
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: could press back that Now when you look around the country,
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: nobody presses anymore because if you make a mistake, it's
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: a wide open three and everybody shoots doos. So you
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: know you got to do if you're going to do it,
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: you have to do it well, and you can't make
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: a lot of mistakes or you're going to give up
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: a lot of wide open threes. And that's that's a
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: recipe for disaster.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Is that part of the reason why the opponents are
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: shooting better from three because you play.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, they're going to get they're going to get
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: more more opportunities, I think, and they're going to get
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: a lot more pretty decent opportunities. But they're also all
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: going to be rushed, and it may not be by
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: your best players. So you might get a lot of
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: open threes against us, depending on who we're playing, but
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: they may not be by your best player, or they
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: may not be at a time when you want to
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: take it. Because if you know we're pressing, and you
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: come down and you take a shot in the first
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: ten seconds at the shock clock and you miss, and
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: you keep doing that, then we're going to have the
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: ball a lot more times than you are. You can't win.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: They can't win like that.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Start.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Individual wise, I would think at this point most improved
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: player in the Big East.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: You could make an argument it's kk Arnold.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: What she's done quarterbacking your offense, and we noticed the
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: difference when she missed the Providence Yeah, it was the
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Providence game. She missed right with an asial fracture. There
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: was a collision there. But how she's managed the game,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: she's shooting the ball better. Her assistant turnover ratios third
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: best in the country. I don't know if it's what
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: I mean. You hoped you would get the numbers that
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: you got from her, but I'm even sure you could
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: have envisioned this that what she's put together so far,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: and it's a lot of its confidence and she's certainly
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: playing with a lot of confidence.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's all about It's all about confidence. It's something
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: that we talk about all the time. A lot of
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: kids playing sports today they're not really confident. I mean
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: they act like they are and they walk around, you know,
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: and they make a three and they make all kinds
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: of gestures and everything, but they're really not confident. And
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: the way you can tell that is the many things
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: start going bad, it just gets worse and worse and worse.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: You know that. You know, you don't want to be
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: sound like you're old, but I'm old, and and I
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: think back years ago, players failed more so failure wasn't
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: that big a deal to them. You know, So I
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: missed ten shots in a row, So what I'm just
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: going to take ten more? Or you know, something didn't
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: go right. I struck out, all right, so I'm going
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: to get a hit the next two times. Now, you know,
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: you've got a lot of kids coming to school at
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: a lot of levels too, that all through their growing up,
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: anytime there's a pop stability that they might fail, they're
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: kind of like removed from that situation or the possibility
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: of failure is kind of removed so that everybody can
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: sing Kumbai Ai after the game, and everybody go to
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: McDonald's and to stop at Dairy Queen and there's another life.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Great.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: So the confidence is the number one thing to play
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: at Yukon.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: I mean, if you're not a confident kid, you probably
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: are not going to stay here after a year or
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: two because you figure out that I'm not going to play.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: So you can be less talented and have tremendous confidence
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: and you're gonna you're gonna be good here. You're gonna
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: make it. Yeah, if you're if you've got talent and
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: you don't have confidence in yourself, it's gonna be really
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: hard for somebody to play here.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: All right, We're alive at the Hollywood Manchester Country Club.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: It is the Yukon Women's basketball coach to show gino Oriama,
• 7:53
