  Speaker 1: the radio. For that, we're here with GINO. Look, with
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: the with the extra players that you have and the
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: chance to experiment with different rotations, clearly, you know, with
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: the with the group that you have, Morgan and Alley
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: are able to kind of work their way in KKSE
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: got a new role with Caitlyn Chen starting, So everybody's
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: still probably still trying to figure out and you probably
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: your truck still trying to figure out what the roles
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: are going to be as this season continues to progress.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that that happens. That happens every year on most teams.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: You know, for us, it's we've had no choice, you know,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: the last couple of years, we just haven't haven't had
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: enough players to have to defy roles, you know. So
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: so now you know, Kaylen Chen is averaging twenty two
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: minutes a game and kk Arnold's averaging exactly twenty two
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: minutes a game, so at least before the Carolina game anyway,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: So you say, well, the minutes are the same, the
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: minutes are the same, the roles should be the same.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: I think kk especially did a thought. I thought she
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: did a great job when she came in.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: I think she changed tempo a little bit. I think
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: she she did it.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: You know, she did a lot of great things, but
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Page was out. So yeah, players are going to be
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: adjusting to a little bit different style of play.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: This year, we're we're playing a little bit asked her
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: than we did last year.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: I think so little by little. You know though, I think.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Ashton and Shade's playing too many minutes right now, so
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: we need, you know, other players to kind of do
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: a little bit more so she doesn't have to play
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: thirty minutes every night. So we're finding all these things out,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: and you know, that's kind of what November is all about.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, speaking of ash one of six, one of five
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: from three on Friday night. But while Paige was getting
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: off to such a good start, and yes it was
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: in the flow of the offense, my thought was she's
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: gonna need some help. I'm thinking of Page. Yes, Sarah
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: produced fourteen points, but when you think of getting help,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: you think of Ashland. Was she even looking to shoot
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the ball early in the ballgame or she just content
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: with the offense and when Paige was having success just
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: watching her do her thing.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: I don't think think.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, I thought that was you know, Ash's worst
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: game so far this year by far. And I don't
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: even meet the shooting part. She wasn't involved in. You know,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: she wasn't involved in the game.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: You and I you know it was. It was all.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: A passive, very very timid kind of performance. And uh
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: uh yeah, we're gonna need you know, we're gonna need
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: her to, you know, to knock in those shots, to
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: make plays, to get to the basket, to make some
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: defensive plays for us, get an offensive rebound. And when
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Ali comes in, you know, she's she's young.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: She's a freshman.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: She's going to get a wide open looks and she's
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: got you know, she's gonna have to knock those in
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: and and at the same time be better defensively, and uh,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: you know, Kk's got to make some outside shots. You know,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: if we want to take the pressure off of aage,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: which obviously we do.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: There's got to be.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: More contributions for more people, and when there is, we're
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: a really really difficult.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Team to beat. And you know, when we get Easy back,
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: I would hope.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: That that brings in more offense, so you know, a
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: little by little, everybody will find their find their groove.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, speaking of Easy, it sounds like she's really close
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: to you know, from what you talked about her last week.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, she looks great in practice. You know,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: she's just getting her she's getting her stamina back. You know,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: she's she's playing simulated games after practice a lot of
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: times more on our day off like she did yesterday.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: So it's just a matter of time now before she's back.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Well that's good to hear. And I was glad to
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: see Aubrey, as you mentioned on the last Coach of Show,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: just starting to do some things and she, you know,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: she was there Friday partaking in some shooting drills with
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: who was she out there with?
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Was it?
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: I know it was Ayanna Patterson, which and she's getting
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: fairly close too. But it was just good to see
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Aubrey starting to do regular basketball type things given that
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: her surgery has been what ten months ago, right, right?
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Aubrey uh gets clear to do a little bit more,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: you know, every week, so that's a obviously that's a
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: huge lift for her and for us, and you know,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: she's getting the you know, more of a green light
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: every day, you know, and she looks great out there, and.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Obviously you know she does she does things.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: And and gives us things that no other post player can.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: You know, Jahn is pretty pretty unique in that way.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: So it's been.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: You know, it's been great to see these guys how
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: hard they've worked to get back, and I'm excited to
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: get them back soon.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: You're gonna have a really good problem to have when
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: everybody's back and you're gonna have to figure out who
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: plays who touchtn't I mean, you haven't had that luxury
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: in years.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: No, No, it's been easy. Uh, you know, it's been easy, and.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: It's going to be difficult if all of them are
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: playing well to figure out you know, who's in and
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: when h or they or some of them can help
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: me by not playing well.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: So it remains to be seen. You know, each player
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: is going to have an.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Opportunity to determine their own their own.
