What Up America, Doug Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports Radio Coming to you from the tyrag dot com Studios Direct dot com. Well you get there. Unmatched selection pass, free shipping, free road has protection over ten thousand recommended sellers tirat dot com. It's the way tire buying should be. Well, what do we have here? A bit of a plot twist. I woke up today from a crazy number of uh of text messages, a crazy number of text messages from friends in the basketball industry, crazy number, and they're all like, is this real? Is this real? Is this real? Like, I don't know what you're talking about? And then I turned on the Twitter machine. It was very early and I saw Woja's tweet and I'm like, wait a second, didn't Shams just say JJ reddick? And I had heard that JJ Reddick was or they were the Lakers are trying to reach out to find staffing. So for JJ, so what possibly could happen? Well, I can tell you what I have a These are just this is just guesses, maybe educated guesses. So the thing about trying to get a head coaching job, and it took me a long time. The first time I interviewed for a head coaching job was two thousand and eight. It's twenty twenty four I got a head coaching job. So I can tell you unequivocally that if if you are joined a discussion about becoming a head coach, do you know what else you need? You need a plan of execution, right first thirty days, first sixty days, first nine days. Who are you gonna hire? And what I had heard in regards in regards to JJ Reddick was people around the Lakers were reaching out to see who was interested in being on his staff. And you had heard about the makeup potentially of the staff. So here's my guess. Here's my guess is that there was a good number of people that were like, you know, what this might work? What's the plan? And JJ's plan was like, I'll just we'll hire guys, We'll hire a staff. You know, we'll put it together. And I'm sure you reach out to a couple of coaches. You know, James Barrego, who's up to being potentially being a head coach, maybe in Cleveland, doesn't want to be the assistant at a place that he wanted to be the head coach, and maybe he said no thanks, and at some point they said, wait, this is not really a plan. This is an idea. The idea is great. You gotta have the plan. You have to you have to give people the view of what it's gonna look like. You do it in recruiting. I have to do it in recruiting. And last night I was at this amazing dinner and you know, I'm constantly stepping out to make recruiting calls. And in recruiting, I don't have I mean, I can show people film of my AAU team's playing, or my team's in Israel playing, but I don't have this long resume. So what I have to do is let me paint the picture of what it's going to look like for you. Here's the guys on my staff, here's the guys on my team. Here's how we're going to play. You have to project this imaginary visual image of what it's going to be like. And for JJ, he had an idea, of course, I can coach. And the truth is that in coaching, I have no doubt that JJ Reddick could coach tomorrow in the NBA and he'd be fine. He'd probably be really good. But it's all of the other parts of coaching that is missing, because you have to take people from the place of hey, that's an interesting idea to what it actually looks like and feels like and what the how it's gonna all work together. So while that's taking place, I'm sure there's the like, guys, what are we doing here? You know? What are we doing here? And hey, did you you know Danny Hurley's new contract hasn't yet made. Did you know that Lebron James supposedly this from Brian Windhorse earlier today, told the Lakers don't pick a coach because of me. Pick a coach for Anthony Davis and for beyond. But Lebron wants to be coached. Anthony Davis wants to be coached. And while you don't have an NBA championship in your resume, the fact is that in order to win in the NBA, you have to have the respect to the locker room. To have the respect to the locker room, you have to have won. And while most college coaches haven't done well stepping up to the NBA, Larry Brown has. There have been others, but Danny has only been truly successful the last two or three years. Danny is still not still he's over himself. He's never been about him or about acting. Like his penness, magic pen. He knows how to give credit to the players and to the other coaches, and to just be a facilitator for this great program and kind of be the entertainer on the sidelines. Danny, you can sit with and say what would it look like for you to be the head coach? And he because he's recruited, because he's done it, because he sold the vision before, that's an easy vision to sell in the future. My guess, and again just a guess, is that JJ hiring JJ was an idea, but there wasn't a vision for what it would look like provided with that idea, he didn't have the plan a place. I'm gonna hire this coach and that coach and this coach, and here's we're gonna bring in personnel wise, and here's what we're gonna do for that other other guy. JJ was like, I want to coach Lebron likes me, He's got my respect. You guys fill out that. You guys fill out the coaching staff will make it work. Yeah, what's it going to look like? Eh, just a guess. But my guess is that this feels like there's something to it. And oh yeah, by the way, that doesn't mean this is a done deal. You know, coaches have gone all the way to the finish line. Coaches have taken jobs before. The one difference is for Danny is he did tell his Yukon team today that he was talking with the Lakers, and when you do that, you're opening up the potential for Pandora's box because

they got done with their workouts today and I'm sure their phones are blowing up because you have thirty days if your coach leeds to be in the portal, and then they got to figure out who gets the job. Probably somebody who's on staff, either Kamani Young or Luke Murray, who gets to come with him, who stays, because those are outside of those two, those are hard core Yukon guys that probably stay, and then what's Danny's vision for his own staff? What does that look like? But we have said that college basketball is more reflective of the NBA now than it ever has been. And you have a former player who does I understand when you look him in the sideline you think he's a crazy person. He's not that way towards his players. Towards his players players is very different, demanding, but very different. And I'm guessing that the vision is far easier to sell than the idea was for JJ Riddick.

Speaker 2: Hey Gang, listen to Jay Glazer, host of Unbreakable, a mental wealth podcast, and every week we will have on leader from sports entertainment like Sean.
00:09:10
Speaker 3: McVay, Lindsey Vaughn, Michael Felt, David Spade, got Fiemmi, and also those who can help us in between the ears. Anyone from a therapist to someone like Ed Milette or John Gordon. We've all been through some sort of adversity to get to the top.
00:09:24
Speaker 1: We've all used different tools.
00:09:26
Speaker 2: Listen to Unbreakable with Jay Glazer and Mental Wealth podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get podcasts.
00:09:36
Speaker 1: All right, this look, we'll get to Goodman in a second. There's it's crazy on how this story has kind of taken over the sports world because tonight is also the first game of the NBA Finals, And what would I think, here's the possibility the Celtics our favorite tonight, their favorites to win the series. I think the Mavericks are going to win tonight. I think they're going to win the series. But let's what's really interesting is how I feel like we give will give athletes a bit of a pass on one poor run in the NBA Finals two, it becomes the narrative becomes the narrative. Now Lebron is a little bit different. He wasn't he was. There was nothing bad with him when he first went to the finals with the Cabs, and obviously he struggled at times against the Mavericks. There were other issues with that with the Heat team when they lost to the MAVs. But for Jason Tatum, like that's what's in front of him. If he wins, everything from the previous NBA finals has forgotten. But if he doesn't, now of a sudden, it becomes the narrative. Jason Tatum is not an NBA Finals caliber, big time closing player. And you know, look, the
matchups are different. We don't know what prezingis brings to the table. We don't know how healthy he'll be, how much he can play, and even if he's healthy he can play, how effective he'll be because he hasn't played in quite a while. On the other hand, we do know about Luca and Kyrie in big moments. And I know you can't always carry over and usually shouldn't carry over big moments from college or big moments from international competition Olympics, but there is something to Luca and how he's played in close out games, big moments in the playoffs this year, and then you start to think, okay, we also run European championship. He won a FOBA Championship with Real Madrid. That guy's seen all of the toughest environments in the world. Boston is going to do nothing to him that he hasn't seen. I have full faith that in Luka Doncik and his ability to perform when the lights are at their brightest. I can't say I have that with Jason Tatum. I can't because I just don't have anything tangible to point to that goes, oh, yeah, this is where he did it previously. That's where he did previously. So that's where I am. On the NBA Finals, It's like, do I get why the Do I get why the Celtics are favorite? Of course, of course I get why the Celtics are favorite. Doesn't mean I'm gonna pick him because you gotta show me your you know, don't tell me you're pregnant, show me the baby. That's that's really where it is. Boy. The Chiefs have had a tough How about the Chiefs off season with all the off the field turmoil and then BJ Thompson has cardiac arrest and a seizure. Ikes, yikes, But let's get back to the story of the day. The story of the day is that the Lakers are preparing a massive offer for Danny Hurley. They had a preliminary contract primary contact with Hurley, and both sides are playing to escalat discussions in the coming days. This is from Adrian Warzonowski. Hurley has been the forefront of the Lakers search for the beginning of the process, even when the organization has done their due diligence interviewing several other candidates. Rob Polinka and Jeanie Buss are eager to formally discuss with Hurley their vision for marrying his dominant program built upon tactic acumen and elite player development with the Lakers brand. Now they want a legit coach and somebody to develop people. I don't think it's a crazy idea. I just don't, Monsei. What do you think the of the heel turn or the pivot from what felt like it was gonna be JJ's job to now maybe it's Danny Hurley's job.
00:13:48
Speaker 4: A little bit surprised surprise in the sense because it seemed like it was a shoeing right, like it was for sure going to be JJ.
00:13:54
Speaker 5: I think we all thought that.
00:13:55
Speaker 4: So I think I'm surprised of the because I really thought it was gonna be JJ. But I'm not surprised that they did look beyond JJ. You know what, I mean, yeah, yeah, because JJ, he has no coaching experience and not that he's not going to be a good coach or anything. And obviously he has a relationship with Lebron that that's what the Lakers want, or anybody who coaches Lebron. You want the coach to have a relationship with Lebron that he likes and he approves. So I think we all just thought it was a shoe in and so I'm surprised about it.
00:14:26
Speaker 5: And uh, you know, Dan Hurley.
00:14:28
Speaker 4: That's a that's a big, a big ask that you that you're trying to take away from Yukon.
00:14:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, if the Lakers want to, you can. There's no sour cap. You can pay him whatever he wants. Yes, yeah, yeah, go ahead, right right.
00:14:45
Speaker 6: It's it's yeah, Hi, I'm just trying to make sense of this and maybe you can help me, Doug or Moncy whichever. But I I'm not sure how this makes sense for either side other than it seems to be a name attracted to another name.
00:14:59
Speaker 5: For Hurley, You've got a very good thing going at Yukon.
00:15:03
Speaker 6: And I know there's been people like Brad Stevens, but usually for a college coach going to the NBA. You've already got a deck stacked against you, and now you're going to the Lakers, where any relationship you would have with Lebron James is understood that it's going to be in the short term and it's usually very volatile and a lot of other coaches have kind of come through there. If you're successful, then yeah, maybe you're set up to be the Lakers coach for whatever the post Lebron future looks like. But you're giving up a lot from Yukon to go to and you've got a great thing going at Yukon to go to the Lakers, a big thing. But it's such a volatile situation. And on the other side of it for the Lakers, is this really someone who's going to mesh with Lebron James? This is really going to be an arrangement that Lebron James is going to really enjoy. I've got so many more questions about this that I probably shouldn't. It should seem like a really good race, but I've just got it just brings up to Okay.
00:16:02
Speaker 1: So I can't help me out. What do they go through the questions sequential order? So you have a bunch of Yeah, you have a bunch of questions. I'll answer him for what I think.
00:16:12
Speaker 6: Go ahead, So I guess why would Dan Hurley like go into this kind of a volatile situation right now?
00:16:20
Speaker 1: Why is it volatile?
00:16:22
Speaker 5: Because this is Lebron's history? I think, like Lebron is short term for this job?
00:16:27
Speaker 1: Sure?
00:16:28
Speaker 5: Yeah, sure?
00:16:29
Speaker 1: So. I mean again, if you get a five year deal, you know, in the fifty sixty million dollar range, like whatever, Like, I mean, how many chances did you get to coach the Lakers?
00:16:42
Speaker 7: Right?
00:16:43
Speaker 1: And you have Anthony Davis and you have Austin Reeves, you know, I mean, why would he Because it's the NBA, It's because of the Lakers. And and I'll tell you like that, what do you not have to worry about when you're an NBA coach? You do? I mean, obviously there's the
academics, academic peace, which everybody will tell you is not a not a factor, but it's still on some level factor. But the massive turnover on your roster every year. You don't have that in the NBA. You just don't. You know, He'll have Alex Carabin I think, is the only real rotation player who's going to come back for next year. She're constantly constantly doing it. And I also think that, like, I'm not at that level, but if you're at this level where you're paying guys that you don't think are really worth what you're paying them, it just doesn't feel doesn't feel good. Whereas when you get the NBA, it's just about basketball, you know, just about just about basketball. What else? Give me one other question, then I'll get to know.
00:17:42
Speaker 6: I just I guess, I guess it's it's I guess I'm struggling with this, Like as a good like illustrator, I think there was a good article out about how a lot of bands have been trying to, you know, sell out arenas and they're realizing it's too big for them and going back to two smaller villars. Every time every time I see and they're they're always happier with it. And I always saw every time I see this kind of jump where it feels kind of forced with this big name who's big in college going to this pro job that is volatile, but it has a lot of good prestige to it. It just more often than not, it just doesn't work out. And I do wonder how many regrets there are, but those regrets won't happen until the future.
00:18:19
Speaker 1: Let's welcome in Jeff Goodman. He joins us here on the Doug Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio. Of course you can hear Field of sixty eight where every download podcast. You can see him on Stadium Sports as well. Jeff, what's your reaction to the news?
00:18:32
Speaker 7: I was shocked, like everybody. I mean, I just saw it. Then a couple of weeksigo in India, I've been texted with him and nothing, nothing, So I was I was surprised because again, I mean, Jim's just put out the three couple of days ago that and everybody kind of thought it was just JJ Reddick and that's why nothing had been done right. They had to wait for the NBA Finals to finish, for JJ to finish doing his job, and then they were going to announce JJ Redick is the next head coach of the Lakers. And yeah, this one's a little.
00:19:01
Speaker 8: Bit shocking, only because I've always said, Doug, I don't know if Dan Hurley translates to the NBA and not because of the ex's and oh's.
00:19:13
Speaker 7: I mean, he's terrific at that we know that, but more because of the ego involved and the fact that ken NBA guys handled Dan Hurley. You know, like again the college game, it's all about the players in the in the in the college game, it's all about the coaches. In the NBA game, it's all about the players. I just don't know, Like Brad Stevens worked right, no ego, low key all that he worked for a while in the NBA. I don't know if Dan, and again I respect a hell out of Dan, I don't know if he's gonna be able to
change enough to whereas he's gonna be able to coach these guys the way he wants to coach them.
00:19:49
Speaker 1: See my perception of Dan at Yukon, especially recently, is yes, he coaches some hard, but he's not a crazy person, you know that Christ.
00:20:00
Speaker 7: For the the when the part Doug is the part with the fans, in the in the in the officials like that part of It's gonna have to calm down, Like he can't be doing some of the stuff to Tony Brothers. Tony Brothers will honestly toss him out of the game in about three minutes.
00:20:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I mean, look, I don't think there's any doubt that he's gonna have to tone that down. Can he can he handle a groom full of men? Can he is Danny? Is Danny over himself enough to where he can make it about them not about him? That's the that's the biggest question. I think the answer is yes.
00:20:42
Speaker 7: But I'm part man, he's part dude. And again, you get him off the court, you know this, Doug Like, is there a better guy to deal with like off the court in terms of just having fun? Like like Lebron will love him. They love Dan Hurley off the court because you can, you can screw around him, you can have fun with him. You can you know, you can rip on them, He'll rip on on your back all that, you know. I just think, you know, some of that stick has the he's got to tone it down. And the other part, for you know, the problem is no matter who that is going to get that job, Doug Like, I just don't know how how you can succeed with a forty year old Lebron. But you're going to worry about whether he's going to be healthy enough to make it through the year. At some point, his body's probably going to fail him and Anthony Davis, whose body I know it's been better the last couple of years, but whose body isn't exactly you know, it's failed him plenty over the years. And then you've got a bunch of just role players. So but but having said all that, if I'm Dan Hurly, I take a shot off this thing. I absolutely take a shot.
00:21:47
Speaker 1: I would two wish the Lakers. You've won two titles and you have basically a whole new team for next year. So it's not like he's leaving these kids. Adler's caravan is the one kid he like man that would really sell you. And I'm and I'm guessing though that they probably keep it in that in that same family of all those guys on the bench.
00:22:07
Speaker 7: I'm not so sure. I'm not so sure of that. I was with you this morning on that. I'm not so sure that they're going to keep it in the family just to keep the players.
00:22:19
Speaker 1: Okay, I think would Kimani get it? Or who would have the best shot?
00:22:25
Speaker 7: Come on here, I'm just telling you, I don't I don't know.
00:22:27
Speaker 1: I understand, I understand. Who of those two do you think would have the better shot?
00:22:31
Speaker 7: Come on? Hee would have the better shot for sure. He's the associate. He's been with Dan longer. Kimani Young would be to me, if you're going to keep it in house, But listen, if I'm a betting man, I'm saying that, I'm now thinking they're probably not going to keep it in house. If I had to guess, who.
00:22:49
Speaker 1: Would it be? Who's the first call that that that would make sense?
00:22:54
Speaker 7: So my first call is Bruce Pearl. That's my first call, New England guy. I got the personality, got the fight. Now. I don't know how old's Bruce?
00:23:04
Speaker 1: Now?
00:23:05
Speaker 7: What's Bruce six sixty three? That's the only the only worry, right, the only worry is number one? How much does Bruce have left in the tank to do this through David bennettict the A D. You don't want to have to make another higher in three years, you don't really And I don't know if Bruce has got more than three or five left to do this. And does Bruce really want to come up to Yukon and and deal with that? Like he's got a good thing going at Auburn, he's got a son there. I don't know if you can get Steven the job at Auburn yet. I'm not sure the deal. He's not written in the contract is the next head coach yet? Maybe he can use it as leverage. Bruce would be one Sean Miller, one b for me.
00:23:52
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't know if they go to Sean Miller ut, but okay, who else?
00:23:58
Speaker 7: I mean, I can't come up with a the names. I don't know, Like there aren't a lot because most of these guys they know it's a biot, a seventeen million Scott. There is not going from Baylor to stores. We know that there's no shot of that one. You know, Billy Donovan. Last I checked, he's still employed, And uh, what do you got?
00:24:19
Speaker 1: What about? What about Speedy Claxton?
00:24:22
Speaker 7: Oh, I mean it's a jump, like you're not winning. Yeah, I mean I love Speedy, but that's a jump. That's a I mean, you're gonna go speeding. You might as well in Holloway.
00:24:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the other one.
00:24:33
Speaker 7: Yeah. Like Shaheem would be good. I like Sheheen Jehan's done a good job. He'd be solid.
00:24:38
Speaker 1: You know, again, it would be hard to leave your alma mater and go in conference. I don't think it's incredibly hard to leave your old water because they're not as well funded. But in conference that could be.
00:24:49
Speaker 7: Yeah, harder, harder, but you're gonna be.
00:24:52
Speaker 1: My thought. My thought is though that that Danny and look, Danny is a bit of a force of nature. But Danny was it was like he was Key did well at Rhode Island. It wasn't killing the world at Rhode Island, but it was more here's a Northeast guy, he's got that edge to him. Foim player in the Big East gets it. Like I think Sahen and Speedy are those two type of guys that that they that they could circle in on. Obviously it would be completely different than how Danny's done it, but they've both both been very successful in their own right.
00:25:21
Speaker 7: Totally totally. I just think those are those are second tier third.
00:25:25
Speaker 1: Sure, sure, but
you're also doing the go after the name thing, right, Bruce is a name, Bruce's a right whereas don't.
00:25:33
Speaker 7: You have to don't you? Yeah?
00:25:35
Speaker 1: Did they go after her name when they hired Danny?
00:25:38
Speaker 7: They couldn't. There were the American that Funnic Association.
00:25:41
Speaker 1: I understand, I understand, I get I get that it's different now, but you know, top.
00:25:46
Speaker 7: Five job again, it is now Dan Hurley has elevated this thing where there probably aren't five more sought after jobs in America right now. Now again follow now do you want to? Now?
00:25:57
Speaker 1: Do you want to follow a guy who went back to back national titles?
00:26:00
Speaker 7: I mean you got to find the right guy, right like, the right personality as the guy who's been again at Auburn at Tennessee.
00:26:09
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, if you get Bruce, you get Bruce because he's gonna he's he gets everybody into it. I just don't know if Bruce, if that's what he wants to do, well.
00:26:20
Speaker 7: You can win a title at you cut? Can you win a title at Auburn? I mean you've got to the final four?
00:26:24
Speaker 1: Why can't you win a title at Auburn?
00:26:26
Speaker 7: I'm asking you, I'm saying it's harder, it's harder to win. Could you? Yes? This is always your thing? When I asked you, right like, can can they? Yes? They can? Will they? I don't think so?
00:26:41
Speaker 1: Fair? Fair, It's it's a it's a fair point, real Quicklet's Celtics MAVs to and I. Jeff Goodman joined us here on the Doug Otleb Show on Fox Sports Radio. What's your level of faith that Jason Tatum can to the top level of his game in.
00:27:02
Speaker 7: The series eleven of ten eleven of ten, I'm not worried about him at all at all. Seriously, I'm not worried about Jason Tatum at all. I'm more worried about Jalen Brown. Although I will say this, It's going to be really interesting to see who Derek Jones is going to be on Who Because Derek Jones is an elite defender, right elite. So do you throw him on you start him on Tatum. I assume you start PJ. Washington on Tatum, you start Derek Jones on Jalen Brown. Jalen Brown hasn't seen anybody even bad in the postseason this year, so that's going to be the interesting one to me is Jalen Brown. Does he continue his play from last series? If he does, this is a rap. There's no way Dallas beats Boston if Jalen Brown plays the way he did last series. I don't worry about Tatum. The thing with Tatum that everybody needs to get over is the dude just makes the right play so often now Boston fans are never happy with what he does right and a couple of years ago was ah, he took bad shots. It didn't pass the ball enough, didn't find his teammates. Now that's all he does, and they yelled at him for not being as assertive. So he'll shoot the ball better from three. But Jason Tana, I think the Celtics win this in seven and Tatum wins MVP and showing his all round game and condescending Kyrie. We'll see what happens.
00:28:24
Speaker 1: Well, you're just you're still better about Kyrie? Still better?
00:28:29
Speaker 7: Great he is, Hey, Doug, Doug, I'm gonna give him the credit he deserves. He actually guards now. He looked like for years he didn't guard anybody.
00:28:40
Speaker 1: No, no, but now he al, says Derek Lively and Gafford behind him. So that that helps you, as that helps you as well. Yeah, good, all right, Well we'll probably touch basically again. If this happens, this becomes a real thing, but right now it's just preliminary stages. Thanks for our guest.
00:28:54
Speaker 7: That's good man, that's such.
00:28:56
Speaker 1: By the way, Jeff could have been not calling me, coach. What's the deal? Did you good? Call our best guys? I'm kidding. Thanks for listening to the Doug Gotleep Show podcast.

So we are going to draft which college coach doesn't have to be Basketball, doesn't have to be Football, can be whatever. Which college coach you would prefer to coach your pro team, so we can go whatever whatever sport you want.

00:30:50

00:30:57
Speaker 1: Okay, ready, yeah that works for me. Like I gotta think here, yeah, option pick. Yeah, you're the first pick in the last one pick the first song. Let me let me think of the first pick who I
don't think he works. I don't think he works.
00:31:17
Speaker 4: Okay, Okay, ahead, all right, Doug, who you got for Bill Self. Okay, all right, why why is that your first one off the board?
00:31:26
Speaker 1: Unbelievably unbelievably successful. He just has a great way about him with the players, and that he coaches them hard, but they still love him.
00:31:34
Speaker 7: Yeah.
00:31:37
Speaker 1: He's not like married to a set system where I have to play this way. Uh. He's a confident guy, but he does the aweshucks. You know, he's from Oklahoma City thing. Just Bill Self? Was that guy?
00:31:51
Speaker 4: All right? All right?
00:31:51
Speaker 5: I like that one. All right, Chris, you are up. Okay, Well let's see.
00:31:57
Speaker 6: So it is our proteins, right, yes, okay, So this is a problem because I'm not replacing Dan Campbell now right now, so that the most pressing would probably be the pistons. So let's think about this. I really like what Kelvin Samson's done at Houston. Ok yeah, I think he's he's my pick to eventually place Monty Williams. They've already cleared out the front office in Detroit. I would like to see a I think, you know, with what he's done there, just making Houston put him back on the board and just the style they run down there, like I could see that. Yeah, yeah, I could see Kelvin's in Detroit.
00:32:31
Speaker 4: All right, So I'm up next. I wasn't thinking of my Clippers because I like TYLERU.
00:32:35
Speaker 5: But my pick could work for.
00:32:37
Speaker 4: The Clippers because I need somebody to light a fire up there. You know what, I'm gonna take Bob Knight. Only three titles in comparison to other teams, but I like a.
00:32:45
Speaker 1: Little bit of a short fuse. I like a little bit of a hothead.
00:32:48
Speaker 4: I like a little bit of a volatile, you know, personality. So I'm gonna take Bob Knight with my third overall pick.
00:32:56
Speaker 5: Ryan, you are up, Okay.
00:32:58
Speaker 9: I did not realize ghosts were on the ballard, so.
00:33:03
Speaker 1: Going everywhere all over the place.
00:33:06
Speaker 9: Well, shoot, maybe maybe I should stake John Wooden. Then no, it's okay, I will It's all right, it's I will stick to active.
00:33:15
Speaker 5: It's fine.
00:33:17
Speaker 9: Let's go to football, okay, because it's because we've still got football on the board here. I'll take Kirby Smart.
00:33:22
Speaker 4: Kirby Smart, all right, yeah.
00:33:25
Speaker 9: Bring in uh obviously you know great at developing talent. Sure, so uh let's bring in Kirby Smart. And let's okay, let's have fun and and stick with that. Go back to basketball. Okay, I'll right, I'll take Rick Patino here at five.
00:33:41
Speaker 1: All right, Now, you do know Rick Patino has coach twice in the NBA.
00:33:46
Speaker 9: Correct, yes, yes, but given that he's an active college coach.
00:33:50
Speaker 6: All right, Bird walking through that door, fam.
00:33:56
Speaker 1: Not walking through that door. Kevin mchael is not walking through.
00:33:59
Speaker 5: That My favorite rants of all time.
00:34:03
Speaker 1: Right, so it's mine.
00:34:05
Speaker 4: Back to me, back to me, yes, all right. So I won't pick a ghost here for Ryan's sake. You know what I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna pick Don Staley. She's a winner, she is a constant winner. So I'm gonna throw a lady out there. Don Staley, please come coach my team any day, any day.
00:34:23
Speaker 1: Coach a men's team.
00:34:25
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh yeah.
00:34:27
Speaker 4: I feel like one of the most important things when you would want a coach, whether it's a man or a woman, is that they know how to win. I think that's the one the most important thing. So I'm gonna take Don Staley to come and coach my basketball team, all right, Chris, back to you.
00:34:40
Speaker 5: All right.
00:34:42
Speaker 6: I'm gonna go a little unorthodox here. I'm thinking about what I can fill out in Detroit.
00:34:46
Speaker 4: Just make sure they're alive, because Ryan.
00:34:48
Speaker 5: He's pretty much he's alive. He has in his sport.
00:34:52
Speaker 6: He is third time all third time all time, third place all time, excuse me, in wins out of any other college coach in this sport. He is a legend. His name means something tremendously to one city. I am going and I want Jack Parker from Boston University, Boston University, one of the greatest college hockey coaches of all time, come on up to the Detroit Red Wings.
00:35:19
Speaker 5: All right, Wow, we took a big swing on that and I like it. I like it.
00:35:23
Speaker 1: Chris, all right, Doug, you get the final one. This one is going to It's off, definitely off everybody's radar, but not off mine. I'm gonna do. Josh Holliday, he's the head baseball coach at Oklahoma State. Batter his all batter as well. I'm just I'm fascinated by the fact that baseball hasn't ever reached into the that doesn't feel like it's ever reached into the the college ranks, right, it just doesn't. And you know you have to develop there, you know, in terms of the game planning and everything like I don't know. And now, look, Pat Murphy was a great head coach at Arizona State. Like he's the one guy, so you know. And now Murph, it's a long time since he left it Arizona State, right, he left Arizona State, I think in nine. But if Pat Murphy could be successful, which he has been with the Brewers, there's no reason Josh Holiday can't be successful in the bigs as well.
00:36:24
Speaker 4: All Right, I like all of our selections. We went really all over the place.
00:36:28
Speaker 1: I was into it. That's game time.
00:36:33
