(00:00):
All right, Harge, we're goingto start in the world of women's basketball.
Of course, we've got conference tournamentsgoing on the Big East doing things.
Yesterday, number one Connecticut Huskies tookon number six Georgetown in Connecticut kind
of blew them out of the waterseventy eight to forty two. But that
is not the story that led atthe end of the game. The story
(00:21):
that led as was Georgetown officially havinga new head coach. I'm going to
play the audio here of what happenedafter the presser. They were going to
start. They're going to let thecoach talk, and then a player stepped
in, and then Harj actually hasa story on what happened this season for
Georgetown. We'll begin with an openingstatement from coach I actually want to jump
in here. Please do. Wewere just told in our locker room.
(00:44):
I'm going to get emotional that Georgetownis in discussion with coach Haney on his
contract as the official head coach ofour basketball program. I am so elated
and overjoyed the future of the programand just so grateful that I had this
opportunity to learn from him for theyear. So I just wanted to start
(01:07):
by saying that and and just sayingthank you, and there's much more to
come for George Town Worms basketball withcoach Andy as head coach. Thank you
all right, hush, So tellus why that moment was so emotional.
Well, it was an emotional becausethe Georgetown basketball coach, the original head
(01:27):
coach, Tasha Buttz, had passedaway. She was the Georgetown head basketball
coach. She passed away on Mondayafter a two year battle of breast cancer.
So this is a an emotional timefor all of these players and the
interim coach. And you know howinterim coaches end up becoming the head coach
(01:49):
because they do such a great jobwith their basketball team and the support that
they were able to provide for theplayers. So that's why this entire season
was pretty much dedicated to her becauseshe made her announcement in twenty twenty one
that she had breast cancer, allright, and from that keeping it with
(02:09):
announcements at the podium. Utah Statethey played Boise in the tournament and they
lost eighty five forty nine. Utawended the season with a two and sixteen
conference record in five and twenty fiveoverall. So their press conference after their
game went a little bit differently.Here's the head coach, and how do
(02:30):
you plan to rebuild for next season. I'm not going to be rebuilding.
I just coached my last game atUtah State, and I spoke with Diana
and they're going in a different direction, and I respect her decision and I
hope they get a really good coaching. I'm assuming that's going to be the
last question. All right, Okay, so awkward. Oh, the difference
(02:54):
is from one game to the next. Parge, just yeah, I think
I love the moment of silence inbetween of I assume that's gonna be the
last question. All right, exactlyexactly, and keeping it with basketball hard,
we're gonna move over to the NBAjust outside of the Crypto dot com
(03:15):
arena. Of course. We talkedabout Kobe Bryant's statue unveiling. He's gonna
have more of them, but thestatue wasn't failed in February, and it's
of Kobe following his amazing eighty onepoint game in two thousand and six,
where he's got his fingerpointed to thisguy. He's wearing his number eight jersey,
and we talked about the trophy itself. We didn't talk about the kind
(03:36):
of podium it was standing on inthe statue, and you know it,
it's got some information around it asfar as who was on the team and
the box score and all of thesethings and that. And people have noticed
that there are a lot of typos. Okay, there's players whose names are
misspelled. Coach's decision on there ismisspelled twice heard I would I would assume
(04:02):
that they don't have somebody who justgoes in and chosels away from day one,
right. They probably have copywriters andthey're like, all right, this
is what the trophy's gonna be.Here's how much space we're gonna have.
We're gonna put this, that andthe other. How do we get to
placing it out front of Crypto dotcom arena and letting it be there for
that long for fans to finally startpointing out, hey, this looks dumb.
(04:28):
And then, on top of that, the Lakers say, yesterday,
we have been aware of this forweeks and are already working to get it
corrected soon. Why not say thatbeforehand? I don't think you really notice.
I don't think anyone pay attention.Clearly no one was paying attention from
the jump parte. But this isembarrassing that. This is very embarrassing,
especially when you, you know,if you're the guy, right, so
let's just say you're the guy thatis going to go see the statue.
(04:53):
That is you going by, gonnasee your your name. I'm gonna check
my name out. Wait what thatThat's not what? Why am I on
here? You know, you startgetting a little upset about the movement in
which the names were being spelled vonWafer's his name is von Wafer. They
(05:15):
spelled it bomb Wafer. Them isreally close to the end on the keyboard,
like right next to each other.Unbelievable, unbelievable. I just love
that it made it that far,and then it took that long for everyone
to get on board and say,you know what, maybe we should change
this. Yeah, maybe we shouldswitch it up. I was glad Kwame
Brown's name is on there, becauseI'm sure he's excited about that. We've
(05:38):
been talking a lot of NFL freeagency, and as we know, Russell
Wilson got picked up by the Steelersearlier over the weekend and it was made
official, and so he has officiallyreleased a classic Russell Wilson hype video sort
of because as we know, hehas yet to play it down. He's
(06:00):
already changed his Twitter profile to thatof him in a Steeler's uniform, which
of course photoshop because again has yetto put on the uniform himself. And
the hype video is just some musicwith a collage of the towel waving.
They've got those yellow towels in Pittsburghthat they love to wave around and it's
just that over and over and overagain. Listen, we know Russell has
(06:24):
the cheese factor, but this onereally kind of makes me cringe. You
know, I've been standing on thispodium for Russell. I've been standing on
this I feel like it is itis. It's starting to crumble a little
bit. It's not cringe worthy yet. Yeah, he doesn't. He hasn't
said anything exactly. I'm not puttingit on a cringe level. But for
(06:46):
me, in Russell Wilson, Ineed him to come in and total line
when it comes to being a PittsburghSteeler. Let's maybe win a game or
two. First, Let's see beforewe wave the towel, because yeah,
he needs the terrible towel. He'sgonna be He's gonna be all in on
that. I'm excited, salty,But as far as hype videos, mister
(07:09):
elimited, no more. Yeah,hey, Seattle, we got it.
Did I need all that to comeback? I need all of that to
come back. So you prefer thecheesiness of him actually speaking into the camera.
Oh yeah, and yeah, Welldid you see the picture that they
used on some of the social medias, Like his hair was just perfectly curled
(07:32):
up like it was. It waslike they were trying to do a photo
shoot for us. I love it. I love it. Well, it's
only March twelfth, so we've gotplenty of time for more Russell Wilsons and
not buying it for my So howdoes your son like come to a decision
(07:54):
on that? Because you know me, like, I'm gonna buy the suresey
though, because I'm cheap. He'sgonna buy a jersey. I know he'll
he's by a jersey. He's gonnaget the jersey jersey. But I told
him he's got to buy with hisown money though, because the family is
not you know, family is nolonger invested in the Bank of Russell Wilson.
No, not doing that, Okay, not doing that. That's fair,
(08:15):
But there is say salty shakedown RussellWilson already emitting his cheese all over
Pittsburgh. And in the NBA KobeBryant statue is unveiled and has all of
those misspellings that finally get figured outone month later. In women's college basketball,
we have coach hirings and firings,both on the opposite ends of the
spectrum as far as emotions are concerned.
