- 0:35Speaker 1: We're here with coach Uriema uh senior day on Saturday,
- 0:38Speaker 1: our Sunday. Very emotional afterwards, by the way, And I'm
- 0:42Speaker 1: going to get to KK Arnold here.
- 0:43Speaker 3: She had a marvelous game. I don't know if you
- 0:45Speaker 3: folks saw this.
- 0:46Speaker 1: Eight points, ten assists, a career high and a career
- 0:49Speaker 1: high eight steals for KK, but I did see a
- 0:52Speaker 1: video of this.
- 0:53Speaker 3: She was very emotional.
- 0:55Speaker 1: When you mentioned the get together at Worth talking about Azy,
- 0:58Speaker 1: this team seems to be from every buddy we talked
- 1:00Speaker 1: to postgame er, even in the postgame pressers, this seems
- 1:04Speaker 1: like a really tight group together.
- 1:08Speaker 2: Yeah, they are they are. Sometimes you just get you
- 1:14Speaker 2: get teams that are very very close, not that I
- 1:21Speaker 2: mean you may have heard me describe it this way.
- 1:25Speaker 2: Sometimes you really like your players, but you don't like
- 1:31Speaker 2: your team. Like you have a great group of guys,
- 1:35Speaker 2: you really enjoy being around them, but they don't really
- 1:38Speaker 2: make a good team. Sometimes you really like your team,
- 1:42Speaker 2: but you don't like your guys. They're a terrific team,
- 1:46Speaker 2: but individually or dealing with them, no not a fun
- 1:51Speaker 2: way to spend the year. And then we've had a
- 1:54Speaker 2: bunch of these years where you really really like your
- 1:58Speaker 2: players and you really like the team that they that
- 2:01Speaker 2: they make, and this this year, for the most part,
- 2:07Speaker 2: just like they don't all like me, I don't like
- 2:09Speaker 2: all them either. You know, Yeah, I would say we
- 2:21Speaker 2: have a fun group of kids. They enjoy each other's company.
- 2:24Speaker 2: They're a lot of fun to be around. They get
- 2:27Speaker 2: along great with each other, They help each other a lot,
- 2:31Speaker 2: they take they take time to help people that need help,
- 2:38Speaker 2: and you know they're they're great teammates on and off
- 2:42Speaker 2: the court. They're great teammates. So you know, when you
- 2:46Speaker 2: have a team like this where they enjoy each other's company,
- 2:50Speaker 2: you know, and they make a good team. It's fun.
- 2:55Speaker 2: It's fun to coach that way. Now, as you get
- 3:00Speaker 2: later in the season, all the time things get a
- 3:04Speaker 2: little bit wonky. You know, when you've been around people,
- 3:09Speaker 2: when you've been around the same people for a long time,
- 3:13Speaker 2: you have to have like selective vision and selective hearing.
- 3:20Speaker 2: Stuff is stuff's happening that you can't react to all
- 3:24Speaker 2: the time because you lose your mind. But like the
- 3:27Speaker 2: other day in the Providence game, we're sitting there in
- 3:30Speaker 2: a time out and they're looking at me, you know,
- 3:33Speaker 2: all five of them are like staring at me like this,
- 3:36Speaker 2: and they're looking at me right in the eye. And
- 3:37Speaker 2: I said, listen, when we pick up full court and
- 3:42Speaker 2: your man takes off without the ball and the ball
- 3:46Speaker 2: is still below inside the three point line, that's prime
- 3:51Speaker 2: time when we can go get a double team, okay.
- 3:54Speaker 2: And they'll look at me and they're kind of like nah,
- 3:56Speaker 2: you know, like this and we go out in the
- 3:58Speaker 2: next three possessions. Nobody does.
- 4:04Speaker 3: Selective hearing.
- 4:05Speaker 2: So I mean, I just sat down next to CD
- 4:07Speaker 2: and I said, you know, I'm really, really, really too
- 4:09Speaker 2: old for this. I said, CD, I was right here.
- 4:14Speaker 2: You were right here she goes. It's okay, I said, CD.
- 4:20Speaker 2: They were looking me dead in the eye. It wasn't
- 4:24Speaker 2: like they were distracted and they didn't hear me. They
- 4:26Speaker 2: were looking at me between my eyes and then went
- 4:30Speaker 2: in one eye and out the other. Year.
- 4:33Speaker 3: You know, it's not like I mean, it actually happened
- 4:35Speaker 3: her in action.
- 4:36Speaker 1: When the school president came out holding her little dryboard there,
- 4:39Speaker 1: the camera got and said no school tomorrow, and the
- 4:42Speaker 1: student section went nuts.
- 4:43Speaker 2: Yeah, they went crazy. That didn't half of them don't
- 4:45Speaker 2: go to half of them don't go to class anyway. Yeah,
- 4:50Speaker 2: and they lost their mind because classes were canceled.
- 4:52Speaker 3: It's like, why are they cheering in the next th
- 4:53Speaker 3: in the cour I know.
- 4:55Speaker 2: I saw I saw Radanka president marriage coming out. Yeah.
- 4:59Speaker 1: You know, he's starting to turn a corner a little bit,
- 5:02Speaker 1: jeneal Offi's starting to turn a corner a little bit
- 5:04Speaker 1: for you. Nice game rebounding the basketball on Sunday. Let's
- 5:08Speaker 1: see here, averaging nine boards per game over her last five.
- 5:12Speaker 1: Doesn't shoot it a ton seven of thirteen during that stretch,
- 5:14Speaker 1: But you're gonna need her in the postseason, that's for sure.
- 5:17Speaker 3: She's gonna have to make a big.
- 5:19Speaker 2: You got sixteen of them, right, sixteen.
- 5:20Speaker 1: That's that's the best for her second highest this season
- 5:23Speaker 1: only Sarah's twenty against Michigan.
- 5:25Speaker 2: Yeah, matches that.
- 5:26Speaker 3: But she got after it.
- 5:28Speaker 1: She's and we saw glimpses of that early in the
- 5:31Speaker 1: season before she got the concussion.
- 5:32Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, that's the one thing that I think she's
- 5:36Speaker 2: comfortable with. You know, if the ball goes up, she
- 5:40Speaker 2: tries her best to go get it, you know, sometimes
- 5:44Speaker 2: as a person in front of her and she jumps
- 5:46Speaker 2: on her back and we get a foul. But her
- 5:49Speaker 2: effort is commendable, you know. So as long as she
- 5:54Speaker 2: keeps doing that, and then on the other end, just
- 6:01Speaker 2: catch it, turn around and lay it up, don't catch it,
- 6:05Speaker 2: shout fake dribble twice, spin and spin right into the
- 6:11Speaker 2: other kid's face and they take the ball from you.
- 6:14Speaker 2: Keep things as simple as possible. And she made a
- 6:17Speaker 2: fifteen footer.
- 6:19Speaker 3: Yeah, and she does that once in a while.
- 6:21Speaker 2: She should do it more often.
- 6:22Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 6:23Speaker 2: My feeling is and this is and if you've been
- 6:27Speaker 2: wondering why this is the case, if you watch NBA games,
- 6:31Speaker 2: why they shoot so many threes and why they don't
- 6:35Speaker 2: throw the ball in the lane, and why they don't
- 6:38Speaker 2: have big guys generally in the lane because they figured
- 6:43Speaker 2: out and this is true. Now, it's not true if
- 6:46Speaker 2: you have Nafisa or if you have Stewie or guys
- 6:49Speaker 2: like that Steph Doson. But you know we don't have that.
- 6:52Speaker 2: So think about this. If you have a six' five
- 6:58Speaker 2: center and they have a six to five, center and
- 7:03Speaker 2: now you throw the ball into your six five center
- 7:06Speaker 2: who has a six' five defender, behind them that kid
- 7:10Speaker 2: has to be pretty good to score over.
- 7:12Speaker 3: That kid you got To be kareem.
- 7:13Speaker 2: HOOK shot, i mean you've got to be pretty good
- 7:15Speaker 2: to score. Gets it so it's a, battle inside, you
- 7:18Speaker 2: know scoring one. On one what's easier that or standing
- 7:24Speaker 2: fifteen feet from the basket with nobody near you and going. Like.
- 7:27Speaker 2: This yeah so that's kind Of what I'm encouraging jenna,
- 7:35Speaker 2: to Do. Said jenna when you catch it and shoot
- 7:37Speaker 2: it from that fifteen, FOOT range i think it's a
- 7:40Speaker 2: fifty to. Fifty shot so that's. Pretty good fifty, TO fifty.
- 7:44Speaker 2: I said when we throw it to you in, the
- 7:45Speaker 2: lane my.
- 7:46Speaker 1: Eyes hurt well you mentioned that fifteen footer because there's
- 7:50Speaker 1: a lot of times your post, player yeah right is
- 7:54Speaker 1: up there always having the ball in.
- 7:55Speaker 2: Our, hands yeah we're trying to and that's why we
- 7:58Speaker 2: get so many. Open, shots yeah because they're big guys
- 8:02Speaker 2: won't come out a lot. Of times so our guys are.
- 8:05Speaker 2: Pretty good you're just handing you the ball and there's,
- 8:07Speaker 2: nobody There or i'm setting the screen for you and there's.
- 8:10Speaker 2: Nobody there so, you know if they're not going to come, out,
- 8:14Speaker 2: there fine but if they're not going to come, out
- 8:16Speaker 2: there then you've got to be Able to it's a.
- 8:18Speaker 2: Free THROW that's i never. Understood that why somebody that
- 8:21Speaker 2: can make a, free throw then when you're running your
- 8:24Speaker 2: offense and they have a fifteen foot or five feet
- 8:27Speaker 2: to the right of the free, throw line they, airball
- 8:30Speaker 2: there they. Brick it, i'm like it's the same shot
- 8:34Speaker 2: but slick hit. And MISS but i think when you
- 8:39Speaker 2: have a big kid that can make, that shot that's
- 8:43Speaker 2: a Whole different it's a whole different offensive scheme that you.
- 8:50Speaker 2: Can run because now it's really. Really hard that's why
- 8:53Speaker 2: when we play small with our small Team and sarah's
- 8:56Speaker 2: in the middle and we spread, everybody out whoever is
- 9:00Speaker 2: guarding her has got to come all the way out,
- 9:01Speaker 2: the garden which means there's nobody protecting the Basket.
- 9:04Speaker 3: Right one little head fake and, she's, gone Yes right More.
