All Star Game coming up tonight. SEC Media Days. It's
like a week for the SEC and the US Men's
team had a tight one against Australia. The Dodgers Taoscar,
ta Oscar Hernandez meet Bobby Witt Junior for the home
(00:50):
run derby poll.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Question for the final hour is going to be what
seedn O'Connor?
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Well, you know what, Dan, the boat names have really
taken over.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Okay, I have a pontoon boat and I don't have
a name on the back of the boat. But I'm
opening it up to this audience that if they can
help me name my pontoon boat.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
We have two different versions of D's knots, the traditional
dee z or d apostrophe s, as in D like
Dan D's knots, perfect, wonderful. You're stay in your shipping lane.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
That's a shot, pretty good.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
That is a shot.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
That's my green day. Stay in your shipping line.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
We have a controversial Jenny boat.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Chie Jenny Batchie too soon. Can't do that, Jenny Bochie,
I know, can't do that. My high school crush, Jenny Batchie.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
That is that? All right?
Speaker 4 (01:44):
We'll take that one off a lift.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
You can't really say it's a high school crush if
she didn't have a crush on you?
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Can you? Yes? Can you crush? And they don't reciprocate.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
I think that's the definition. It's unrequitded love.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Oh then it's then I had my high school crush.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Yeah, Jenny Botchie.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Jenny Bouchie, any other ones there that need to be
mess Oh? Man, No, we'll leave it there.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
How confident are you Team USA will win the Gold
in basketball? Positive, Iffy or concerned? Right now we're at
fifty percent positive, forty percent Iffy.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
I don't know where this is coming from.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I also wonder if Kevin Durant can't play, he hasn't
been able to play yet. Does Jalen Brown have to
get the call if Kevin Durant can't play, right, I
would think so if he doesn't well, then then we
have a real issue.
Speaker 6 (02:37):
If Peyton Pritcher gets the call, it's not going to
be Peyton Pritcher another Celtic.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Yeah, yeah, Dino Raja gets the call.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
If Kevin Gamble gets the nod, he's gonna be furious.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I would think if if Kevin Durant can't play, then
Jalen Brown would have to get the call. It's like
all of this talk about Jalen Brown not making the
Olympic team, and then if you do have an injury,
maybe he gets a chance. Caitlin Clark not making the
West Olympic team, But if Diana Tarassi is not able
to play, then she's probably going to get the call.
But in the meantime, so we'll talk to Dan Hurley
(03:14):
to join us up coming up here in a moment,
trip in Vegas, Hey, trip, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 7 (03:21):
Hey?
Speaker 8 (03:21):
Good morning, DP.
Speaker 9 (03:23):
Comment about the national anthem? Then I had some boat
names for you, okay. I thought it would be Francis
Scott Offkey Maybe I don't know. For the boat names,
I had the floater nobody, and then some B ball
references for you would be three Stroke, Downtown or string music.
(03:46):
And then the last one I wrote down since she
went to Dayton, and they were just I think this
is the best one there since they that's an Orville
and Will We're right, that's why the are the Flyers.
I think it should be called the Right Way w
R I g H T.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
All right, Well, thank you, trip, thank you a lot
in there people trying to help me name my boat.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
I still like the mothership. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Coined the phrase a long long time ago, and uh
so maybe that would be good for my pontoon boat.
He is Dan Hurley, Yukon hit basketball coach back to
back national championships, turned down the Lakers joining us on
the program here. First of all, congratulations. Second of all,
did you splurge on anything new contract?
Speaker 3 (04:27):
What did you buy that might surprise us?
Speaker 7 (04:31):
I mean, I'm I thanks Dan, and thanks for having me. Man.
Speaker 10 (04:37):
Nothing I actually the like that I thought about was,
you know, they got I got the Raptor pickup truck.
You know, which was like a big driver for us
winning it. So I looked at maybe like like a
vintage Bronco, like one of those like cool vintage Broncos.
Speaker 7 (04:56):
But I just I didn't get anything. You got nothing.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
How important is your truck to you?
Speaker 7 (05:04):
That is?
Speaker 10 (05:04):
Uh, it's like my armor. I love that truck. I
love it. I love it. I got hooked up pickup
trucks watching watching Yellowstone. You know, I kind of think
I'm kind of like, uh rip, you know, like the
rip of college coach.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
But are you a different person when you get behind
the wheel of your raptor Oh?
Speaker 10 (05:26):
Yeah, it's like an alter ego, you know, like you
do you you you're in a different mode. I only
drive it during the season. I drive it during the winter.
I drive it when October, uh as the season is
getting closer. And then I'll drive it all the way
to the end. And then I get it, uh you know.
(05:47):
I take care of the engine and I get it,
you know, really cleaned well. And then I put it
away for the summer and I treat her. I'll I'll
go in the garage and i'll uh you know, I'll
i'll talk to it and I'll.
Speaker 7 (06:04):
Let it know I care about.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
But didn't you have your car stolen the first date
you had with your now wife?
Speaker 10 (06:13):
Yeah, that that happens, and I think she knows that,
Like I'm not like the super romantic type. That wasn't
a setup like to kind of keep her at my house.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
You couldn't take her home because you you had your
car stolen.
Speaker 10 (06:32):
Yes, And the next day her parents were her parents
were coming to campus to take her to breakfast and
they that was gonna be my first time meeting them.
So it was like a pretty awkward. I wasn't able
to get her daughter back to campus. I think they
had to pick her up at my apartment.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
So if the Lakers would have thrown in a vintage Bronco.
Speaker 10 (06:59):
Two doors, you know, the company is in California, so
there wouldn't have been any shipping.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Could they have done anything?
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Looking back on it, was there anything else they could
have done that might have swayed you?
Speaker 10 (07:15):
It was?
Speaker 7 (07:16):
It was all about really.
Speaker 10 (07:19):
Like how I want to coach and where I want
to coach, Like college, I think is the perfect place
for me to coach. Yukon is the is the perfect
place for me to coach? In college?
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (07:30):
Like meeting Rob and Jeanie Buss.
Speaker 10 (07:33):
And they were awesome and it had like, uh, they
almost made me want to do it, But it's just.
Speaker 7 (07:42):
You know, where do I belong? You know?
Speaker 10 (07:46):
Where do I get to coach the way I really
want to be a coach. You know the great thing
about being a college coach, Dan is I get to
pick the players. I I get to set the tone
every day here. I decide when and planes leave, I
decide when we eat, I decide when they go to sleep.
I could take their phones away at meals. And you know,
(08:10):
like you just have You know, you don't have as
much control as you used to as a college coach.
You still are an environment as a coach where you
have I think the greatest impact on whether your team
can be successful.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Let me let me know if you followed this same
kind of feeling. I was up for a job. I
was going to leave ESPN, went to another city, wined
and dined, told me all the great things, money was great,
and I was ready to take the job.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Come back home. Sit down.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Reality sets in and my wife says, what is it
that you don't have here? And then I just I said,
you're right, you come back from LA with your wife.
You're ready to take the job. You can't turn this down.
It's Lebron, it's the money, It's La, it's the Lakers.
And then you come back home reality sets in similar.
Speaker 7 (09:07):
Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 10 (09:09):
Even you're going to the went to a concert at
MSG and uh, just being you know, watching Billy Joel
and MSG, like being in New York. Uh, you know,
just being a guy from Jersey and you just knowing
how comfortable you are, how happy you are, just your
life couldn't be better. Why would you mess with that
(09:31):
at this at this point? Uh? But it was, it
was It was tough. It was tough.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Well, also, tell me if this is true that you
and your wife are texting each other like one two three,
like are we staying or going?
Speaker 3 (09:45):
One two three? Are we staying? Did you do that
multiple times?
Speaker 2 (09:48):
And what happened if your wife says let's go as
opposed to we're staying.
Speaker 10 (09:57):
Yeah, I mean I think I had obviously for making
career decisions, I've got veto power.
Speaker 7 (10:04):
In that's.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Are you sure about that?
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (10:10):
I think?
Speaker 10 (10:11):
Well? And in like who we're going to recruit and
how we're going to play, Maybe not exactly where we're
going to live. But you know, I was surprised that
a lot of people were surprised that that we make
decisions as a family that way.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
What if you wanted to go, I would have.
Speaker 10 (10:30):
I would have, you know, I would have. I would
have convinced my family to do it. I would have
convinced her to do I don't think she was excited
to go from Wagner to Rhode Island. I mean I
dragged her, you know, from Staten Island to to the
to to to the beautiful state of Rhode Island, like kicking.
Speaker 7 (10:48):
And screaming to a degree. So but I was surprised
that people were surprised.
Speaker 10 (10:53):
That we make decisions like as as a family there
as a family that way. My wife knows me better
than anybody in the world, and there's no greater strength
that I have in making any decisions than my faith
in my family. My faith in my family been the
fuel behind everything that's good in my life.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Talking to Dan Hurley, the Connecticut head basketball coach, but
you start to look at what you did as a
player or what you didn't do, like the underdog, Like
you're not an underdog anymore, But how do you convince
yourself to still be an underdog or have that mentality.
Speaker 10 (11:32):
No, in my mind, I still am an underdog. My
path and coaching makes me an underdog. You know, I
haven't been an assistant high school coach, having been an
assistant college coach, having paid dues for nine years as
a high school head coach, and then a low Division
one coach and then a mid major. You know, when
I look around my profession, there's not you know a
(11:54):
lot of coaches at elite schools that have had to
pay those dues alone the way and have had to
prove themselves at in such a I don't want to
say a humbling manner, but in a much more traditional manner,
the way coaches used to have to earn opportunities like
the one that I have now at Yukon. So as
you're looking for different things to give you an edge,
(12:15):
even you know, when you achieve like what we've achieved
and when you're at the top of the sport, I
still find plenty of things to you know, to create
friction or to create an edge relative to the people
I'm competing against when I see them on the road
recruiting or wherever.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
How will recruiting change, if any changes now that like
you guys are the favorites, you're not an underdog. Now
you can go out in go after those top ten recruits.
I don't know if you've you've always gone after that
feels like you're picking the right people for the system
that you have, not the biggest name for the system
you have.
Speaker 7 (12:56):
Well, I think it.
Speaker 10 (13:00):
Uh, it's a challenge not to get away from the
type of people that that have gotten us to where
we are now that we have access to more five
stars and and and obviously you know what we're the
you know, we're the like the shiny It program right now,
Like we just can't get away from our identity in
getting the type of people that are attracted to stores Connecticut,
(13:24):
like serious people that yeah they they have uh they
got the NBA aspirations, but that they understand that when
they come here, like we're looking for win win situations.
We're looking for like you've got to deliver us championships
while we help you get to the NBA. It can't
just be you know, we got you to the NBA,
because that is not enough when you when you put
(13:46):
the Yukon uniform on, all.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Right, the NBA question, how will you answer that whenever
you get that phone call that will inevitably happen.
Speaker 7 (13:57):
Yeah, I think down the line.
Speaker 10 (13:59):
I think as we look years down the line, obviously
the contract and the commitment that Yukon made to me,
I never thought I'd I'd be doing this for a
living like this, So, you know, I think that's something
that's going to be like years down the line for
(14:19):
me at the absolute appropriate time. But that's not something
that I'll even be on my radar Dan like, I'm uh,
I had my chance to kind of see what that
looks like, and I think, uh, that'll suffice for for
several years now.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
I think for me, how important, uh, the chance to
make history. How much did that factor in coming back
for a three peak?
Speaker 10 (14:46):
Huge, huge factor, the chance to potentially match something that
John wouldn't. It's just that's crazy. I mean, that's it's
mind blowing. Those you l A teams, the UCLA program,
Alex Caraban coming back to school, recruiting these players in
(15:07):
like Liam McNeely, who who commits to you just a
couple of weeks earlier, and seeing his face while that
whole situation was going on, you know, and then like
the way people in this state, knowing how important Yukon
is to the like to the state of Connecticut, to
the people of Connecticut, how they view me here at
this point, that meant that means a lot, you know,
(15:30):
like the way you received So it was a lot
that went into it.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Did you talk to Lebron personally and tell him that
you weren't taking the job.
Speaker 10 (15:40):
No, but we had some conversation and that was that
was exceptionally cool moment to communicate with one of the greatest.
And then you know, post uh, you know, post decision,
I reached out for him and uh, you'll let him
know that my offensive system would be really good for
(16:01):
any James Sons that play moving forward in college.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Who's the best coach in the Hurley family?
Speaker 8 (16:14):
Now?
Speaker 7 (16:15):
Oh, still about that? Okay, he's here, he's here today.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
I'll tell him. I seto.
Speaker 10 (16:21):
He gets to practice an hour before just to watch
the player's rotation on their shot.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
But if you go three pete though, Dan, He's I mean,
I mean you got to be up. You've got to
be getting closer to Mount Everest there with your dad.
Speaker 7 (16:36):
Yeah, I f I three pete. I think he's.
Speaker 10 (16:39):
Second best yeah, and yeah, and then but I know,
you know, just knowing how competitive we all are. You know,
you know, Bob's loaded up with a roster, So Bob
both of us in his sights.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Before I let you go, we had Gino Oriema on
that that day and he said he'd talk to you
the night before, jokingly said you know about you being
the Lakers head coach. He said he had no idea
that you were being offered this job, and he said,
if it was up to him, he would tell you
to have taken that job.
Speaker 7 (17:10):
Well, I became aware maybe.
Speaker 10 (17:14):
Uh like maybe a half hour before that appearance, that
that that word was trickling out that that there had
been conversations and it was potentially, uh you know, going.
Speaker 7 (17:28):
To be a meeting.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (17:29):
And then the next day it dropped in the morning.
So I was staring at him like wondering, like did
he know?
Speaker 11 (17:38):
Like what.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Are the odds though, Dan, that he says to you
you could lead the Lakers to whatever playoff birth or
whatever the conversation was, And You're thinking, how does he
know this?
Speaker 7 (17:53):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 10 (17:55):
I mean, I know Gino is like the goat of
all ghats, but like like how does he does he know?
So I was so distracted at that hour appearance they
were asking me questions, uh on the dais next to
him and like I would, I'm all I can think
about is did Gino know something?
Speaker 7 (18:13):
And Gino's my guy?
Speaker 10 (18:15):
So if I don't say something and he knows it,
now I've just lost my you know, my buddy. So
it was a bad spot he put me in.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Good to keep you in the state. And thanks for
joining us.
Speaker 7 (18:29):
Dan, you're the man brother.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Thank you, Thank you Dan. That's Dan Hurley. I'ming back
for a three peet there, Marvin feels a whole lot better.
Look at the smile on your face.
Speaker 6 (18:39):
Grinning from ear to ear. We're about to do it again. Yeah,
the recruiting class is good. We are gonna we We
are gonna do it always we always we. That's their
I pay tuition.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
It's you're in state. You didn't pay that much.
Speaker 6 (18:56):
Correct, but still it's we. If I paid the dollars,
they'll pay tuition.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Let me take a break. We're back after this.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
Dan Hurley is a fun interview because I feel like
I can challenge him a little bit, he'll kind of
come back. He's playful, sense of humor about things. It
always helps when you're getting that kind of money and
you've won back to back titles. You're the face of
college basketball here. I just wonder if recruiting changes, because
I don't know if he went after Cooper Flag.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
You know you're Connecticut, you should, Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 6 (20:17):
He did. Yeah, that was Cooper Flag's second shoe.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Second choice.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, you still want to get the
pieces that fit into your puzzle. Sometimes you get pieces
and it's to a different puzzle. They're talented, but if
you're getting guys transferring guys, they're in the portal and
you're going to get plug and play, you want them
to fit in. You know, when you're getting a shooting
guard from Rutgers and you're going really, and then all
(20:43):
of a sudden you see the shooting guard from Rutgers
and you go, yeah, really, you're getting the right players
for what you want to do. And that's what I
was always kind of baffled by coaching in the NBA.
You don't get to coach. You don't get to teach,
I should say. And Dan Hurley coming from his file
legendary high school coach.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
He's a teacher.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
You don't get to teach that much unless it's younger
players that you're kind of growing with. You got Lebron
and ad Are they listening? Are they changing?
Speaker 7 (21:15):
Like?
Speaker 3 (21:15):
How much teaching can you do? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (21:17):
You know what I like to about Dan Hurley, He's
you can tell he's a fan. You could tell that
he loves the game and that he's sort of a historian.
Of it too, because he just as excited as he
was about like, yeah, it's the Lakers and Lebron and like,
oh my god, can you believe that that's who I'm
talking about coaching right now? He was more excited about
(21:38):
the possibility of three peating something that the coach wouldn't
has done. He's like, oh, Mike, can you imagine that's
what we're talking about right now. That he was probably
more excited about that than he was about, you know,
Lebron and the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Because with Lebron and it's the Lakers, you can't turn
that down. But in his mind he was finding reasons
probably to turn it down and then realized when he
got back home those were the reasons why he was
going to turn down the Lakers coaching Lebron.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
Yes, And you could even tell just by the way
he said, like, I want to coach in college. I
am a college coach. I am this is what you know?
Speaker 2 (22:15):
You know, I agree, And I think that's just like
when Mike Kruyzhevsky was going to coach the Lakers. He's
a teacher. When you go to the NBA, you're kind
of a listener. You got to listen to your players.
When you're in college, they listen to you. You get
to the pros, it's just different. And how Lebron You
know Lebron and his son, and how long is Lebron
(22:37):
going to play? And I to me, I just I
didn't see it, but I think I can't. I've turned
down jobs because I knew it wasn't the right fit
for me. I didn't want to move my family. Uh
that that was important as well, Like you just get
like what's important. You want to be paid commensurate to
what you've done in college basketball? He should be what
(23:00):
Bill self is getting paid or John Calli Perry's getting paid,
if not more. But there's nothing that now he can
buy that he couldn't buy before. Now it's just comfort.
It's just this is who I am and what I
do and where I do it, instead of I got
to take this job.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
I mean, I turned.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Down a job at a network, and I thought I'll
never get a call again from a network. But I
liked what I did at ESPN. I knew who I
was at ESPN. I didn't know what it was going
to be like going to a network where you're not
working every single day. I loved working every single day.
Go to a network and you might be like, Hey,
you're going to cover the Olympics, you're going to cover this,
(23:43):
you're gonna cover World Series, You're going to whatever it
might be. You kind of have moments where you're working
for you a finite amount of time, but you're concentrating
on one event. And that's what I loved about ESPN comfort.
Come back to that quality of life. Not that you
couldn't have a great life out there, but let's say
(24:05):
you and your wife are not in the same room
and you're going to text. What your answer is going
to be, stay or go? All right, ready, set text, Stay,
and then you asked the question again, maybe a week later,
and then one week later after you come back from
La stay go. And I think that's what he and
(24:25):
his wife did, Stay go, and they agreed on staying.
Let me see a couple of phone calls in here,
Mark and Georgia. Hi, Mark, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 7 (24:39):
Hey?
Speaker 11 (24:39):
Dan and Dan? That's how are y'all?
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Great? Mark?
Speaker 11 (24:43):
Excellent?
Speaker 13 (24:43):
I just wanted to give I was listening to after
your show, the Jim Rome Show comes on, and I
listened to that, and yesterday he gave big props to
Todd Fritz. He was saying he was in New York
years ago and this great booker was able. I can't
remember the guest, but he said this, Todd Fritz, this
great booker got a guest in studio and he just
(25:05):
he gave him great props.
Speaker 11 (25:06):
Thought out of the chill.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
No, oh, okay, well, Todd, how about that Jim Rome
giving you a shout out?
Speaker 14 (25:11):
Yeah, many years ago when I was working with him
on Talk to we did a week of shows on
radio in the city and we got doctor Ruth Westtheimer
to come sit down with him in studio, and I
guess doctor's name came up because obviously she recently passed
and he was sharing a story I guess in the
h on the on the show yesterday about that.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Okay, yeah, she was like ninety six years of age,
Holocaust survivor. Jacob in Miami. Hey, Jake, what's on your
mind today?
Speaker 7 (25:36):
Hey?
Speaker 15 (25:37):
I want to see us. Stan kept us on everybody
first time, long time five nine ninety. Yes, I have
a pontooned boat name for you, Dan. Okay, this one comes.
This one comes courtesy of David Stern.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Yeah, yeah, I mentioned Pullaver. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Somebody even suggested calling my bout David or just calling
it Stern David Stern. Yeah, yeah, I'm looking for help
naming the pontoon boat. I still like The Mother Show.
I think that was pretty good. Sean and Indianapolis, I Sean,
welcome back.
Speaker 16 (26:16):
Hey Dan, two vote names and a question for you.
Vote name the Fritz c and then you have and
then you have knots Itch. But then the question I
had was what is the best worst national anthem? Like
(26:37):
the most cringe worthy, best work, one that we just
can't stop listening to.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Well, I would.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Say Carl Lewis is there just because it's one thing
he thought he could sing and gives that presentation then
even saying oh, like you know, I'll make it up
to you. He's gonna make it up to us by
not singing with the anthem. I mean, Fergie's wasn't good,
(27:04):
but it felt like she was trying to make it different.
I think Carl was, you know, like he was Bocelly
that he was going to be singing this anthem.
Speaker 5 (27:12):
Yeah, Paulie, the one thing that helps Carl Lewis in
the moment is that it was at a random Nets
game in February, not a big deal, but Sports Center
took it and made it a big deal. Last night
was kind of unavoidable. The All Star Game everybody watches,
even if you don't really care that much about baseball,
so that's a big stage to happen.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
But it was home run derby. That's different than the
All Star Game.
Speaker 5 (27:33):
Ooh, some people watch the derby.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
You don't watch the game? Yeah, I don't know. That's
I'd have to see the ratings.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
But still, you know, it's still national TV, and even
if not everybody sees it, then everybody's going to hear
about it. Social media is gonna run with that Bill
in Alaska. Hi, Bill, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 17 (27:54):
Hey damn, first time caller, not a long time listener.
I used to listen to that Word Works casting and
I didn't like the way they went. And I found
you guys, and man, you're fantastic.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Well, thank you.
Speaker 17 (28:06):
I really like your chemistry.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Thank you, Bill.
Speaker 17 (28:08):
But for a boat, I used to build pontoons when
I was eighteen. I'm sixty seven now and I'm never
going to have a boat, So you can have the
name I was going to use mine. You're a kind
of an officionado to good music. CC Rider Okaya sea Rider?
Speaker 3 (28:26):
All right? Any boat terms? I should know? Bill with
my pontoon boat, you.
Speaker 17 (28:31):
Know, I never owned one. I always wanted to but
never was able to. I'm sixty seven and raising four grandkids,
so it doesn't look like I'm going to get one
anytime soon.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Well I always come up with boat names and if
I have a bar, even when I didn't have a boat,
and I'm not going to have a bar, but you
I always came up with whether that'd be a great
name for a bar or great name for a boat.
For some reason, I just it was one of those
(29:04):
passing time You guys are looking at me like I'm
a loser. Yeah, but I was just saying it's kind
of fun. Maybe it wasn't that much fun. Get mar
I had a fictional bar name. Okay, bar none? Okay,
there there is there that that is a popular So
it's not creative. Okay, No, go ahead, No it's not. Yeah,
(29:25):
it's not that easy, is it.
Speaker 6 (29:28):
No?
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Yeah, people named their bar bar I like the library,
because where are you going?
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Library? All right, maybe it's not that good.
Speaker 7 (29:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Wait, are you guys? Are you the library?
Speaker 4 (29:43):
There's a polace you know, I never put that together.
There was a bar in my hometown called the library.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
Yeah yeah, Where are you going the library?
Speaker 11 (29:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Yeah, yes, Todd.
Speaker 6 (29:55):
Bar storming something like that. No holds bar?
Speaker 3 (29:59):
No, why don't want bar storming.
Speaker 5 (30:02):
That's not like a real barney?
Speaker 7 (30:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (30:40):
Did Jim Rome mentioned my name? John?
Speaker 11 (30:45):
No?
Speaker 15 (30:45):
I'm surprised, you know he did not mention where Todd currently?
Speaker 3 (30:49):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
Wow, come on, Romie, you're better than that. Come on,
that's a disaster. Come on, nothing wrong with give a
little shout out to where Todd works or fritzy.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Yeah all right, do you want to leave and go
work for Jim Rome?
Speaker 14 (31:11):
Todd we had several nice years together in LA, but

So what are the things that I say.

You didn't say yes or no?
Speaker 6 (31:31):
Are you being silly?
Speaker 4 (31:32):
No, I'm not to you look back fondly on your time.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Yes, I really enjoyed it. It was nice to work
with a professional. Somebody didn't yell at me or make
fun of me.
Speaker 6 (31:43):
We had a nice run back in like the late
nineties in LA. It's a long time ago.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Yeah, but you know why I can't rome just mentioned
he works, you know, for this legendary brief.
Speaker 14 (31:53):
Story about how we were doing a week of radio
shows and doctor Ruth came into the studio.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
No, I'm talking about yesterday. You have mentioned that he
you know he's here.
Speaker 6 (32:01):
He chose to not say anything.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
The best radio host in the business. That's what he said.
Todd works for the best radio host in the business.
I'm sad, I am.
Speaker 6 (32:18):
To you should not be snaking.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
Okay, it's gonna be okay.
Speaker 6 (32:23):
I think it did. Very wealthy.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
We can make him ount of anything. Yeah, that's true.
I'm gonna play victim.
Speaker 6 (32:28):
You're pretty successful.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
You're gonna be okay, thank you to Sean daytona beach
joining us. Hi Sean, what's on your mind? Dan?
Speaker 17 (32:36):
Thanks for calling me back. I am in receipt of
the facts. Yes, six foot recent way in of one
eighty three, you were talking about coach Staden being thought
without his ID. I have been there at the highest level,
and I have a question for you if you've ever
found yourself there. Eleven years ago, I got married at
thirty Rock, New York. Top of the Rock. The day
(32:58):
before was Wrestlemanian. As we go to leave Russell Mania,
I get on an elevator surrounded by stay cops on
one side of me and on side my wife.
Speaker 11 (33:07):
We get off the elevator.
Speaker 17 (33:08):
We thought we were going to beat the traffic, and
we ended up backstage.
Speaker 8 (33:12):
Literally.
Speaker 17 (33:12):
The sign in front of us is a printed sign
Vinta's office.
Speaker 8 (33:15):
This way, walk this way.
Speaker 17 (33:17):
Jimmy Noonan, the head of security, comes up to us,
looks me in the eye and says, can I help you?
And I said, no, I know where I am. I'm
heading that way and walked out. Have you ever found
yourself somewhere beyond security where you weren't supposed to be.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
Well?
Speaker 2 (33:34):
I used to sneak into basketball games and Cincinnati, the
Cincinnati Royals, So I was going where I was not
supposed to go. But I don't I don't know if
I've ever kind of bsked my way into a situation
and then all of a sudden, somebody, you know, blows
my cover there.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
I just know we would. There was side doors to go.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Into the Cincinnati Gardens, and these were the business offices,
and we realized if we got there before the office
is closed, we could go in, go down the stairwell
and then climb over a wall and then we were
in Cincinnati Gardens. And then the players would come out
early and we would get there and I'd be rebounding
for guys with the Bullets, the Hawks, the Lakers, and
(34:22):
nobody said anything. And I just you know, we did
that the last year that the Royals were in town.
So when the Lakers came in, you're there. You're rebounding
for Gail Goodrich and Jerry West, Happy harriston the Atlanta Hawks,
when Maravich was there, the Bullets, the Bullets, when Kevin Lockery,
(34:43):
longtime announcer analyst, he was playing Mike Reardon, Like, I
just remember these guys that, and then they let us
shoot around. So I was there, not supposed to be there,
but then nobody told us to leave. All right, last
call for phone calls. What we learned, what's in store tomorrow.
We'll try I to accomplish that.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Right after this, be sure to catch the live edition
of The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern
six am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio wapp.

Speaker 11 (35:50):
I'm really thought I was going to miss the boat.
So thank you for that. Anyway, anyway, thank you, thank
you for the ribs. Yeah, all right, look let's get
to it. I hate to break bad news to you.
About your boat. But the only reason it's called a
boat is because you have your little avon rude hanging
(36:11):
off the stern nautical term. So if you remove the
avon rude, Danny, you're essentially.
Speaker 8 (36:18):
On a barge.
Speaker 7 (36:19):
All right.
Speaker 11 (36:20):
I hate to break the news to you, but it's
a barge, Danny. But how about the uss wiss?
Speaker 3 (36:28):
All right? Thank you, Kimo. I'm okay with a barge.
I'm fine.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
I'm not pretending to be, you know, anything other than
a guy who is learning how to pilot a boat.
And you're going around a lake barging in charge. Yeah,
barging in No, I'm good. I'm fine, not trying to
you know, Sam. Piloting a yacht, skippering a yacht. It's
a it's a pontoon boat. It's it's like a floating party.

That's it. Bob in Montana, Hi, Bob, welcome back.
Speaker 8 (37:05):
Oh hey, DP, thanks Hey, I must still a proud
member of the two percent club there from last week?
Hard to announce that. Hey, if I KNOWNE you were
buying a boat, I actually work for the company. I
could have saved you probably ten grand on that boat.
And then he could have spread all that money around
for the big Christmas party here later this year. But
lastly they was I'm calling don't forget July twenty fifth,
(37:27):
nineteen ninety the national anthem done other by none other
than by Roseanne Barr. I'm curious where that ranks as
far as the all time not so good national lanthem.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
Well she tanked that one on purpose. But thank you, Bob,
thank you.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
And yes, I'm getting all these people saying two best
days when you have a boat is when you buy
it and when you sell it.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
I know again it.
Speaker 5 (37:48):
Everyone says that, like to the first one. Whoever get
that joke? I know, I get it.
Speaker 4 (37:52):
I don't know that's the same though for a pontoon boat.
Pontoon boat is going to be there forever.
Speaker 3 (37:57):
Yeah, that's not it.
Speaker 2 (37:58):
It's it's I don't need to upgrade. I don't need
a speed boat. I don't need anything. I just you
go out do a little fishing. Yeah, do a little
fly fishing, maybe just regular you know, Largemount Pass. That's
all just having a nice little time jumping in the water. Yeah,

hundred ninety nine thousand.

like a week for the SEC and the US Men's
team had a tight one against Australia. The Dodgers Taoscar,
ta Oscar Hernandez meet Bobby Witt Junior for the home
(00:50):
run derby poll.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Question for the final hour is going to be what
seedn O'Connor?
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Well, you know what, Dan, the boat names have really
taken over.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Okay, I have a pontoon boat and I don't have
a name on the back of the boat. But I'm
opening it up to this audience that if they can
help me name my pontoon boat.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
We have two different versions of D's knots, the traditional
dee z or d apostrophe s, as in D like
Dan D's knots, perfect, wonderful. You're stay in your shipping lane.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
That's a shot, pretty good.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
That is a shot.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
That's my green day. Stay in your shipping line.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
We have a controversial Jenny boat.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Chie Jenny Batchie too soon. Can't do that, Jenny Bochie,
I know, can't do that. My high school crush, Jenny Batchie.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
That is that? All right?
Speaker 4 (01:44):
We'll take that one off a lift.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
You can't really say it's a high school crush if
she didn't have a crush on you?
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Can you? Yes? Can you crush? And they don't reciprocate.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
I think that's the definition. It's unrequitded love.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Oh then it's then I had my high school crush.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Yeah, Jenny Botchie.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Jenny Bouchie, any other ones there that need to be
mess Oh? Man, No, we'll leave it there.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
How confident are you Team USA will win the Gold
in basketball? Positive, Iffy or concerned? Right now we're at
fifty percent positive, forty percent Iffy.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
I don't know where this is coming from.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I also wonder if Kevin Durant can't play, he hasn't
been able to play yet. Does Jalen Brown have to
get the call if Kevin Durant can't play, right, I
would think so if he doesn't well, then then we
have a real issue.
Speaker 6 (02:37):
If Peyton Pritcher gets the call, it's not going to
be Peyton Pritcher another Celtic.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Yeah, yeah, Dino Raja gets the call.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
If Kevin Gamble gets the nod, he's gonna be furious.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I would think if if Kevin Durant can't play, then
Jalen Brown would have to get the call. It's like
all of this talk about Jalen Brown not making the
Olympic team, and then if you do have an injury,
maybe he gets a chance. Caitlin Clark not making the
West Olympic team, But if Diana Tarassi is not able
to play, then she's probably going to get the call.
But in the meantime, so we'll talk to Dan Hurley
(03:14):
to join us up coming up here in a moment,
trip in Vegas, Hey, trip, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 7 (03:21):
Hey?
Speaker 8 (03:21):
Good morning, DP.
Speaker 9 (03:23):
Comment about the national anthem? Then I had some boat
names for you, okay. I thought it would be Francis
Scott Offkey Maybe I don't know. For the boat names,
I had the floater nobody, and then some B ball
references for you would be three Stroke, Downtown or string music.
(03:46):
And then the last one I wrote down since she
went to Dayton, and they were just I think this
is the best one there since they that's an Orville
and Will We're right, that's why the are the Flyers.
I think it should be called the Right Way w
R I g H T.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
All right, Well, thank you, trip, thank you a lot
in there people trying to help me name my boat.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
I still like the mothership. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Coined the phrase a long long time ago, and uh
so maybe that would be good for my pontoon boat.
He is Dan Hurley, Yukon hit basketball coach back to
back national championships, turned down the Lakers joining us on
the program here. First of all, congratulations. Second of all,
did you splurge on anything new contract?
Speaker 3 (04:27):
What did you buy that might surprise us?
Speaker 7 (04:31):
I mean, I'm I thanks Dan, and thanks for having me. Man.
Speaker 10 (04:37):
Nothing I actually the like that I thought about was,
you know, they got I got the Raptor pickup truck.
You know, which was like a big driver for us
winning it. So I looked at maybe like like a
vintage Bronco, like one of those like cool vintage Broncos.
Speaker 7 (04:56):
But I just I didn't get anything. You got nothing.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
How important is your truck to you?
Speaker 7 (05:04):
That is?
Speaker 10 (05:04):
Uh, it's like my armor. I love that truck. I
love it. I love it. I got hooked up pickup
trucks watching watching Yellowstone. You know, I kind of think
I'm kind of like, uh rip, you know, like the
rip of college coach.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
But are you a different person when you get behind
the wheel of your raptor Oh?
Speaker 10 (05:26):
Yeah, it's like an alter ego, you know, like you
do you you you're in a different mode. I only
drive it during the season. I drive it during the winter.
I drive it when October, uh as the season is
getting closer. And then I'll drive it all the way
to the end. And then I get it, uh you know.
(05:47):
I take care of the engine and I get it,
you know, really cleaned well. And then I put it
away for the summer and I treat her. I'll I'll
go in the garage and i'll uh you know, I'll
i'll talk to it and I'll.
Speaker 7 (06:04):
Let it know I care about.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
But didn't you have your car stolen the first date
you had with your now wife?
Speaker 10 (06:13):
Yeah, that that happens, and I think she knows that,
Like I'm not like the super romantic type. That wasn't
a setup like to kind of keep her at my house.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
You couldn't take her home because you you had your
car stolen.
Speaker 10 (06:32):
Yes, And the next day her parents were her parents
were coming to campus to take her to breakfast and
they that was gonna be my first time meeting them.
So it was like a pretty awkward. I wasn't able
to get her daughter back to campus. I think they
had to pick her up at my apartment.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
So if the Lakers would have thrown in a vintage Bronco.
Speaker 10 (06:59):
Two doors, you know, the company is in California, so
there wouldn't have been any shipping.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Could they have done anything?
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Looking back on it, was there anything else they could
have done that might have swayed you?
Speaker 10 (07:15):
It was?
Speaker 7 (07:16):
It was all about really.
Speaker 10 (07:19):
Like how I want to coach and where I want
to coach, Like college, I think is the perfect place
for me to coach. Yukon is the is the perfect
place for me to coach? In college?
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (07:30):
Like meeting Rob and Jeanie Buss.
Speaker 10 (07:33):
And they were awesome and it had like, uh, they
almost made me want to do it, But it's just.
Speaker 7 (07:42):
You know, where do I belong? You know?
Speaker 10 (07:46):
Where do I get to coach the way I really
want to be a coach. You know the great thing
about being a college coach, Dan is I get to
pick the players. I I get to set the tone
every day here. I decide when and planes leave, I
decide when we eat, I decide when they go to sleep.
I could take their phones away at meals. And you know,
(08:10):
like you just have You know, you don't have as
much control as you used to as a college coach.
You still are an environment as a coach where you
have I think the greatest impact on whether your team
can be successful.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Let me let me know if you followed this same
kind of feeling. I was up for a job. I
was going to leave ESPN, went to another city, wined
and dined, told me all the great things, money was great,
and I was ready to take the job.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Come back home. Sit down.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Reality sets in and my wife says, what is it
that you don't have here? And then I just I said,
you're right, you come back from LA with your wife.
You're ready to take the job. You can't turn this down.
It's Lebron, it's the money, It's La, it's the Lakers.
And then you come back home reality sets in similar.
Speaker 7 (09:07):
Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 10 (09:09):
Even you're going to the went to a concert at
MSG and uh, just being you know, watching Billy Joel
and MSG, like being in New York. Uh, you know,
just being a guy from Jersey and you just knowing
how comfortable you are, how happy you are, just your
life couldn't be better. Why would you mess with that
(09:31):
at this at this point? Uh? But it was, it
was It was tough. It was tough.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Well, also, tell me if this is true that you
and your wife are texting each other like one two three,
like are we staying or going?
Speaker 3 (09:45):
One two three? Are we staying? Did you do that
multiple times?
Speaker 2 (09:48):
And what happened if your wife says let's go as
opposed to we're staying.
Speaker 10 (09:57):
Yeah, I mean I think I had obviously for making
career decisions, I've got veto power.
Speaker 7 (10:04):
In that's.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Are you sure about that?
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (10:10):
I think?
Speaker 10 (10:11):
Well? And in like who we're going to recruit and
how we're going to play, Maybe not exactly where we're
going to live. But you know, I was surprised that
a lot of people were surprised that that we make
decisions as a family that way.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
What if you wanted to go, I would have.
Speaker 10 (10:30):
I would have, you know, I would have. I would
have convinced my family to do it. I would have
convinced her to do I don't think she was excited
to go from Wagner to Rhode Island. I mean I
dragged her, you know, from Staten Island to to the
to to to the beautiful state of Rhode Island, like kicking.
Speaker 7 (10:48):
And screaming to a degree. So but I was surprised
that people were surprised.
Speaker 10 (10:53):
That we make decisions like as as a family there
as a family that way. My wife knows me better
than anybody in the world, and there's no greater strength
that I have in making any decisions than my faith
in my family. My faith in my family been the
fuel behind everything that's good in my life.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Talking to Dan Hurley, the Connecticut head basketball coach, but
you start to look at what you did as a
player or what you didn't do, like the underdog, Like
you're not an underdog anymore, But how do you convince
yourself to still be an underdog or have that mentality.
Speaker 10 (11:32):
No, in my mind, I still am an underdog. My
path and coaching makes me an underdog. You know, I
haven't been an assistant high school coach, having been an
assistant college coach, having paid dues for nine years as
a high school head coach, and then a low Division
one coach and then a mid major. You know, when
I look around my profession, there's not you know a
(11:54):
lot of coaches at elite schools that have had to
pay those dues alone the way and have had to
prove themselves at in such a I don't want to
say a humbling manner, but in a much more traditional manner,
the way coaches used to have to earn opportunities like
the one that I have now at Yukon. So as
you're looking for different things to give you an edge,
(12:15):
even you know, when you achieve like what we've achieved
and when you're at the top of the sport, I
still find plenty of things to you know, to create
friction or to create an edge relative to the people
I'm competing against when I see them on the road
recruiting or wherever.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
How will recruiting change, if any changes now that like
you guys are the favorites, you're not an underdog. Now
you can go out in go after those top ten recruits.
I don't know if you've you've always gone after that
feels like you're picking the right people for the system
that you have, not the biggest name for the system
you have.
Speaker 7 (12:56):
Well, I think it.
Speaker 10 (13:00):
Uh, it's a challenge not to get away from the
type of people that that have gotten us to where
we are now that we have access to more five
stars and and and obviously you know what we're the
you know, we're the like the shiny It program right now,
Like we just can't get away from our identity in
getting the type of people that are attracted to stores Connecticut,
(13:24):
like serious people that yeah they they have uh they
got the NBA aspirations, but that they understand that when
they come here, like we're looking for win win situations.
We're looking for like you've got to deliver us championships
while we help you get to the NBA. It can't
just be you know, we got you to the NBA,
because that is not enough when you when you put
(13:46):
the Yukon uniform on, all.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Right, the NBA question, how will you answer that whenever
you get that phone call that will inevitably happen.
Speaker 7 (13:57):
Yeah, I think down the line.
Speaker 10 (13:59):
I think as we look years down the line, obviously
the contract and the commitment that Yukon made to me,
I never thought I'd I'd be doing this for a
living like this, So, you know, I think that's something
that's going to be like years down the line for
(14:19):
me at the absolute appropriate time. But that's not something
that I'll even be on my radar Dan like, I'm uh,
I had my chance to kind of see what that
looks like, and I think, uh, that'll suffice for for
several years now.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
I think for me, how important, uh, the chance to
make history. How much did that factor in coming back
for a three peak?
Speaker 10 (14:46):
Huge, huge factor, the chance to potentially match something that
John wouldn't. It's just that's crazy. I mean, that's it's
mind blowing. Those you l A teams, the UCLA program,
Alex Caraban coming back to school, recruiting these players in
(15:07):
like Liam McNeely, who who commits to you just a
couple of weeks earlier, and seeing his face while that
whole situation was going on, you know, and then like
the way people in this state, knowing how important Yukon
is to the like to the state of Connecticut, to
the people of Connecticut, how they view me here at
this point, that meant that means a lot, you know,
(15:30):
like the way you received So it was a lot
that went into it.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Did you talk to Lebron personally and tell him that
you weren't taking the job.
Speaker 10 (15:40):
No, but we had some conversation and that was that
was exceptionally cool moment to communicate with one of the greatest.
And then you know, post uh, you know, post decision,
I reached out for him and uh, you'll let him
know that my offensive system would be really good for
(16:01):
any James Sons that play moving forward in college.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Who's the best coach in the Hurley family?
Speaker 8 (16:14):
Now?
Speaker 7 (16:15):
Oh, still about that? Okay, he's here, he's here today.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
I'll tell him. I seto.
Speaker 10 (16:21):
He gets to practice an hour before just to watch
the player's rotation on their shot.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
But if you go three pete though, Dan, He's I mean,
I mean you got to be up. You've got to
be getting closer to Mount Everest there with your dad.
Speaker 7 (16:36):
Yeah, I f I three pete. I think he's.
Speaker 10 (16:39):
Second best yeah, and yeah, and then but I know,
you know, just knowing how competitive we all are. You know,
you know, Bob's loaded up with a roster, So Bob
both of us in his sights.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Before I let you go, we had Gino Oriema on
that that day and he said he'd talk to you
the night before, jokingly said you know about you being
the Lakers head coach. He said he had no idea
that you were being offered this job, and he said,
if it was up to him, he would tell you
to have taken that job.
Speaker 7 (17:10):
Well, I became aware maybe.
Speaker 10 (17:14):
Uh like maybe a half hour before that appearance, that
that that word was trickling out that that there had
been conversations and it was potentially, uh you know, going.
Speaker 7 (17:28):
To be a meeting.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (17:29):
And then the next day it dropped in the morning.
So I was staring at him like wondering, like did
he know?
Speaker 11 (17:38):
Like what.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Are the odds though, Dan, that he says to you
you could lead the Lakers to whatever playoff birth or
whatever the conversation was, And You're thinking, how does he
know this?
Speaker 7 (17:53):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 10 (17:55):
I mean, I know Gino is like the goat of
all ghats, but like like how does he does he know?
So I was so distracted at that hour appearance they
were asking me questions, uh on the dais next to
him and like I would, I'm all I can think
about is did Gino know something?
Speaker 7 (18:13):
And Gino's my guy?
Speaker 10 (18:15):
So if I don't say something and he knows it,
now I've just lost my you know, my buddy. So
it was a bad spot he put me in.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Good to keep you in the state. And thanks for
joining us.
Speaker 7 (18:29):
Dan, you're the man brother.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Thank you, Thank you Dan. That's Dan Hurley. I'ming back
for a three peet there, Marvin feels a whole lot better.
Look at the smile on your face.
Speaker 6 (18:39):
Grinning from ear to ear. We're about to do it again. Yeah,
the recruiting class is good. We are gonna we We
are gonna do it always we always we. That's their
I pay tuition.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
It's you're in state. You didn't pay that much.
Speaker 6 (18:56):
Correct, but still it's we. If I paid the dollars,
they'll pay tuition.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Let me take a break. We're back after this.

Speaker 7 (19:38):
We've all used different tools.
Speaker 12 (19:40):
Listen to Unbreakable with Jay Glazer and Mental Wealth podcast
on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get podcasts.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Dan Hurley is a fun interview because I feel like
I can challenge him a little bit, he'll kind of
come back. He's playful, sense of humor about things. It
always helps when you're getting that kind of money and
you've won back to back titles. You're the face of
college basketball here. I just wonder if recruiting changes, because
I don't know if he went after Cooper Flag.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
You know you're Connecticut, you should, Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 6 (20:17):
He did. Yeah, that was Cooper Flag's second shoe.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Second choice.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, you still want to get the
pieces that fit into your puzzle. Sometimes you get pieces
and it's to a different puzzle. They're talented, but if
you're getting guys transferring guys, they're in the portal and
you're going to get plug and play, you want them
to fit in. You know, when you're getting a shooting
guard from Rutgers and you're going really, and then all
(20:43):
of a sudden you see the shooting guard from Rutgers
and you go, yeah, really, you're getting the right players
for what you want to do. And that's what I
was always kind of baffled by coaching in the NBA.
You don't get to coach. You don't get to teach,
I should say. And Dan Hurley coming from his file
legendary high school coach.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
He's a teacher.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
You don't get to teach that much unless it's younger
players that you're kind of growing with. You got Lebron
and ad Are they listening? Are they changing?
Speaker 7 (21:15):
Like?
Speaker 3 (21:15):
How much teaching can you do? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (21:17):
You know what I like to about Dan Hurley, He's
you can tell he's a fan. You could tell that
he loves the game and that he's sort of a historian.
Of it too, because he just as excited as he
was about like, yeah, it's the Lakers and Lebron and like,
oh my god, can you believe that that's who I'm
talking about coaching right now? He was more excited about
(21:38):
the possibility of three peating something that the coach wouldn't
has done. He's like, oh, Mike, can you imagine that's
what we're talking about right now. That he was probably
more excited about that than he was about, you know,
Lebron and the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Because with Lebron and it's the Lakers, you can't turn
that down. But in his mind he was finding reasons
probably to turn it down and then realized when he
got back home those were the reasons why he was
going to turn down the Lakers coaching Lebron.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
Yes, And you could even tell just by the way
he said, like, I want to coach in college. I
am a college coach. I am this is what you know?
Speaker 2 (22:15):
You know, I agree, And I think that's just like
when Mike Kruyzhevsky was going to coach the Lakers. He's
a teacher. When you go to the NBA, you're kind
of a listener. You got to listen to your players.
When you're in college, they listen to you. You get
to the pros, it's just different. And how Lebron You
know Lebron and his son, and how long is Lebron
(22:37):
going to play? And I to me, I just I
didn't see it, but I think I can't. I've turned
down jobs because I knew it wasn't the right fit
for me. I didn't want to move my family. Uh
that that was important as well, Like you just get
like what's important. You want to be paid commensurate to
what you've done in college basketball? He should be what
(23:00):
Bill self is getting paid or John Calli Perry's getting paid,
if not more. But there's nothing that now he can
buy that he couldn't buy before. Now it's just comfort.
It's just this is who I am and what I
do and where I do it, instead of I got
to take this job.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
I mean, I turned.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Down a job at a network, and I thought I'll
never get a call again from a network. But I
liked what I did at ESPN. I knew who I
was at ESPN. I didn't know what it was going
to be like going to a network where you're not
working every single day. I loved working every single day.
Go to a network and you might be like, Hey,
you're going to cover the Olympics, you're going to cover this,
(23:43):
you're gonna cover World Series, You're going to whatever it
might be. You kind of have moments where you're working
for you a finite amount of time, but you're concentrating
on one event. And that's what I loved about ESPN comfort.
Come back to that quality of life. Not that you
couldn't have a great life out there, but let's say
(24:05):
you and your wife are not in the same room
and you're going to text. What your answer is going
to be, stay or go? All right, ready, set text, Stay,
and then you asked the question again, maybe a week later,
and then one week later after you come back from
La stay go. And I think that's what he and
(24:25):
his wife did, Stay go, and they agreed on staying.
Let me see a couple of phone calls in here,
Mark and Georgia. Hi, Mark, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 7 (24:39):
Hey?
Speaker 11 (24:39):
Dan and Dan? That's how are y'all?
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Great? Mark?
Speaker 11 (24:43):
Excellent?
Speaker 13 (24:43):
I just wanted to give I was listening to after
your show, the Jim Rome Show comes on, and I
listened to that, and yesterday he gave big props to
Todd Fritz. He was saying he was in New York
years ago and this great booker was able. I can't
remember the guest, but he said this, Todd Fritz, this
great booker got a guest in studio and he just
(25:05):
he gave him great props.
Speaker 11 (25:06):
Thought out of the chill.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
No, oh, okay, well, Todd, how about that Jim Rome
giving you a shout out?
Speaker 14 (25:11):
Yeah, many years ago when I was working with him
on Talk to we did a week of shows on
radio in the city and we got doctor Ruth Westtheimer
to come sit down with him in studio, and I
guess doctor's name came up because obviously she recently passed
and he was sharing a story I guess in the
h on the on the show yesterday about that.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Okay, yeah, she was like ninety six years of age,
Holocaust survivor. Jacob in Miami. Hey, Jake, what's on your
mind today?
Speaker 7 (25:36):
Hey?
Speaker 15 (25:37):
I want to see us. Stan kept us on everybody
first time, long time five nine ninety. Yes, I have
a pontooned boat name for you, Dan. Okay, this one comes.
This one comes courtesy of David Stern.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Yeah, yeah, I mentioned Pullaver. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Somebody even suggested calling my bout David or just calling
it Stern David Stern. Yeah, yeah, I'm looking for help
naming the pontoon boat. I still like The Mother Show.
I think that was pretty good. Sean and Indianapolis, I Sean,
welcome back.
Speaker 16 (26:16):
Hey Dan, two vote names and a question for you.
Vote name the Fritz c and then you have and
then you have knots Itch. But then the question I
had was what is the best worst national anthem? Like
(26:37):
the most cringe worthy, best work, one that we just
can't stop listening to.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Well, I would.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Say Carl Lewis is there just because it's one thing
he thought he could sing and gives that presentation then
even saying oh, like you know, I'll make it up
to you. He's gonna make it up to us by
not singing with the anthem. I mean, Fergie's wasn't good,
(27:04):
but it felt like she was trying to make it different.
I think Carl was, you know, like he was Bocelly
that he was going to be singing this anthem.
Speaker 5 (27:12):
Yeah, Paulie, the one thing that helps Carl Lewis in
the moment is that it was at a random Nets
game in February, not a big deal, but Sports Center
took it and made it a big deal. Last night
was kind of unavoidable. The All Star Game everybody watches,
even if you don't really care that much about baseball,
so that's a big stage to happen.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
But it was home run derby. That's different than the
All Star Game.
Speaker 5 (27:33):
Ooh, some people watch the derby.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
You don't watch the game? Yeah, I don't know. That's
I'd have to see the ratings.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
But still, you know, it's still national TV, and even
if not everybody sees it, then everybody's going to hear
about it. Social media is gonna run with that Bill
in Alaska. Hi, Bill, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 17 (27:54):
Hey damn, first time caller, not a long time listener.
I used to listen to that Word Works casting and
I didn't like the way they went. And I found
you guys, and man, you're fantastic.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Well, thank you.
Speaker 17 (28:06):
I really like your chemistry.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Thank you, Bill.
Speaker 17 (28:08):
But for a boat, I used to build pontoons when
I was eighteen. I'm sixty seven now and I'm never
going to have a boat, So you can have the
name I was going to use mine. You're a kind
of an officionado to good music. CC Rider Okaya sea Rider?
Speaker 3 (28:26):
All right? Any boat terms? I should know? Bill with
my pontoon boat, you.
Speaker 17 (28:31):
Know, I never owned one. I always wanted to but
never was able to. I'm sixty seven and raising four grandkids,
so it doesn't look like I'm going to get one
anytime soon.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Well I always come up with boat names and if
I have a bar, even when I didn't have a boat,
and I'm not going to have a bar, but you
I always came up with whether that'd be a great
name for a bar or great name for a boat.
For some reason, I just it was one of those
(29:04):
passing time You guys are looking at me like I'm
a loser. Yeah, but I was just saying it's kind
of fun. Maybe it wasn't that much fun. Get mar
I had a fictional bar name. Okay, bar none? Okay,
there there is there that that is a popular So
it's not creative. Okay, No, go ahead, No it's not. Yeah,
(29:25):
it's not that easy, is it.
Speaker 6 (29:28):
No?
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (29:29):

I'm gonna play victim.
Speaker 6 (32:28):
You're pretty successful.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
You're gonna be okay, thank you to Sean daytona beach
joining us. Hi Sean, what's on your mind? Dan?
Speaker 17 (32:36):
Thanks for calling me back. I am in receipt of
the facts. Yes, six foot recent way in of one
eighty three, you were talking about coach Staden being thought
without his ID. I have been there at the highest level,
and I have a question for you if you've ever
found yourself there. Eleven years ago, I got married at
thirty Rock, New York. Top of the Rock. The day
(32:58):
before was Wrestlemanian. As we go to leave Russell Mania,
I get on an elevator surrounded by stay cops on
one side of me and on side my wife.
Speaker 11 (33:07):
We get off the elevator.
Speaker 17 (33:08):
We thought we were going to beat the traffic, and
we ended up backstage.
Speaker 8 (33:12):
Literally.
Speaker 17 (33:12):
The sign in front of us is a printed sign
Vinta's office.
Speaker 8 (33:15):
This way, walk this way.
Speaker 17 (33:17):
Jimmy Noonan, the head of security, comes up to us,
looks me in the eye and says, can I help you?
And I said, no, I know where I am. I'm
heading that way and walked out. Have you ever found
yourself somewhere beyond security where you weren't supposed to be.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
Well?
Speaker 2 (33:34):
I used to sneak into basketball games and Cincinnati, the
Cincinnati Royals, So I was going where I was not
supposed to go. But I don't I don't know if
I've ever kind of bsked my way into a situation
and then all of a sudden, somebody, you know, blows
my cover there.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
I just know we would. There was side doors to go.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Into the Cincinnati Gardens, and these were the business offices,
and we realized if we got there before the office
is closed, we could go in, go down the stairwell
and then climb over a wall and then we were
in Cincinnati Gardens. And then the players would come out
early and we would get there and I'd be rebounding
for guys with the Bullets, the Hawks, the Lakers, and
(34:22):
nobody said anything. And I just you know, we did
that the last year that the Royals were in town.
So when the Lakers came in, you're there. You're rebounding
for Gail Goodrich and Jerry West, Happy harriston the Atlanta Hawks,
when Maravich was there, the Bullets, the Bullets, when Kevin Lockery,
(34:43):
longtime announcer analyst, he was playing Mike Reardon, Like, I
just remember these guys that, and then they let us
shoot around. So I was there, not supposed to be there,
but then nobody told us to leave. All right, last
call for phone calls. What we learned, what's in store tomorrow.
We'll try I to accomplish that.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Right after this, be sure to catch the live edition
of The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern

you for the ribs. Yeah, all right, look let's get
to it. I hate to break bad news to you.
About your boat. But the only reason it's called a
boat is because you have your little avon rude hanging

avon rude, Danny, you're essentially.
Speaker 8 (36:18):
