  We're back with Alex Caravan on the Yukon Men's Basketball Coaches showed Mike Crispino,
• 0:04
  Uh, Alex, you got off to a great start at Georgetown, and
• 0:08
  it was interesting. I was talking to Dan about this as well, the
• 0:11
  back door cut. Yu Kon has been getting some of these back door cut
• 0:14
  buckets and those are great because they're layups. Those are high percentage shots and
• 0:20
  you got you got a bunch of those in that game. How did that
• 0:23
  happen? Was it partly you and the cut and the fake and or how
• 0:27
  much of that credit do you give to Donovan Klingen forgetting you the ball?
• 0:31
  I give them all the credit for someone being seven to and a giant that
• 0:35
  he is, and for him to you know, be able to pass the
• 0:38
  way that he does, it's all credit to him. And I think the
• 0:42
  cuts are really open all the time, just from our offense is so hard
• 0:46
  to guard and teams worry so much about the three point line, and you
• 0:49
  know our shooters coming off the line, so you know, you just got
• 0:52
  to find other ways to score and really free up the defense. And when
• 0:56
  you start getting a couple of layups going and started, you know, getting
• 0:59
  to the basket, the SHOT's going to open up for everybody else because are
• 1:02
  so worried about the cuts. So really, it's just it's just a unique
• 1:06
  style that we played too, just from you know, we want to get
• 1:08
  the ball to a certain person at the same time, you could cut whatever
• 1:11
  during the play and create opportunities for yourself. Yeah, talking to Donovan after
• 1:17
  the game and that, you know, I don't know, we were getting
• 1:19
  some discussion. He stops me, goes, did you see that pass I
• 1:23
  made that went for guy's legs house. I had to go back and look
• 1:26
  at the video. Honest to god, I'm sitting on the court doing the
• 1:30
  game. I couldn't see that he threw it through a guy's legs. To
• 1:33
  you, I think, yeah. He told me that right on the plane
• 1:37
  too. He's like, was that was that pass to you? And I
• 1:38
  was like yeah, And I didn't even know it was between someone's legs too.
• 1:42
  So I mean, that's just alien stuff, you see. You know,
• 1:46
  people talk about the aliens that Webb does and check all those seven footers.
• 1:51
  That's just that's just in that category to time it up perfectly. Yeah,
• 1:55
  this passing things getting in Clinging's head a little bit. He got six
• 1:59
  assists. That's that's like a career high from him. If he starts doing
• 2:01
  this, he's going to have like double doubles with points and assists or rebounds
• 2:06
  and assists. Tell him at the point guard, he wants to average six
• 2:09
  assists? Have done to bring up the ball and stuff? Now, Carl
• 2:14
  this point guard in the Big East history probably Yeah. Well, he made
• 2:17
  a three there a couple of games ago. I said, Oh, he's
• 2:20
  not going to start doing that. Dan's gonna be all over me, not
• 2:23
  going to let that happen. No, No, he he learned his lesson
• 2:27
  from a three pointer against Butler. I want to say, so, you
• 2:30
  know he's learned one to take them and went not to So yeah, coach,
• 2:35
  the coaches have been on him about the shooting as well. Well,
• 2:38
  he's one for two on the season. By the way, I think he
• 2:39
  should quit right there. From three, he's fifty sufficient. That's a shooter's
• 2:46
  dream of shooting from three. Yeah, you uh, from three, of
• 2:50
  having a real good year or two. I was looking at some of the
• 2:53
  numbers there for you. I think you're forty five percent something like that.
• 2:58
  You're third in the league and three point shooting and over fifty percent, seventh
• 3:01
  in the league fifty two percent. Let's talk about that three point shot.
• 3:06
  I mean pretty much, when you are open, not just you, but
• 3:09
  anybody, should they be shooting that within the offense or do you guys like
• 3:13
  to go another pass an extra pass that too? Yeah? No, the
• 3:17
  coach is tells all the time, if you're open to shooting, we have
• 3:21
  the ultimate confidence in one another to where you know, if Cam's open,
• 3:24
  we know it's gonna go and we know when STEP's open, he's gonna go
• 3:28
  in. So really just having the confidence in each other to shoot it.
• 3:30
  But at the same time, you know, if I have the ball and
• 3:34
  I'm open and defenders coming at me and I got Cam next to me wide
• 3:37
  open, you'll make that extra one more. So, really, the trust
• 3:40
  is there with one another, and we really and if you don't shoot it,
• 3:44
  when we huddle up, we're gonna tell you to shoot it. We're
• 3:46
  gonna yell you shoot the ball. So really is a clear message for everybody
• 3:51
  and that we have so much confidence in each other. All right, I
• 3:53
  want to be on that team when a guy tells me to shoot it.
• 3:55
  Every time I haven't, I've ever been on a team like that. Usually
• 3:58
  tell me don't shoot, don't shout. All right, got Alex Caravan with
• 4:02
  this. We'll wrap it up with him on the Yukon Men's Basketball Coaches Show after this
