Speaker 1 (00:04):
Bag On, Rod Deevils, Show's Ben Darnell and Raven and
Drive joining US now coach Kate Lynch, Southern Kanaka State
University head women's basketball coach.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
In our own rights, she's a hell of a player.
She's in their Hall of fame and.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Getting ready for the twenty twenty five twenty.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Twenty sixth season.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Once your roster is set, once you've gotten past the
nil and the transfer portal and stuff like that, what
are you trying to get these girls ready for?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Prepping them for the season.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Well, for US, I mean, we actually just finished up
our third practice of the year because we're in our
preseason portion of it. We have about six new players.
You know, we've got a mix of freshmen. We also,
you know, take some time in the transfer portal as well,
so we've got a good mix of about six players,
six new players. So right now our staff is just
focused on making sure they understand, you know, ay the
(00:53):
culture right of our program, but also the fundamentals of
it goes into our defensive principals are often the principals,
you know, and making sure that by the end of
the preseason they're understanding it that they're yelling a little
bit more together. It's a it's a marathon, not a
sprinting basketball. So go and steady.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
How is recruiting going for you in twenty twenty five?
And I'm not just talking SCSU, I'm just talking the
whole ball of wax when it comes to D two
women's basketball. All my men's basketball coach friends in college,
they tell me it's about thirty percent looking at high
school games and sixty percent more looking at AAU and
some tournament games where these guys are playing on all
(01:34):
star teams. Is that the same for women's basketball? I
know AAU is really ramped up lately, but where do
you find your kids before the transfer portal?
Speaker 2 (01:42):
When I'm talking about true.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Freshman Yeah, I mean, I don't want to speak for
any other programs, but for us, AAU is what we
focus on. To be honest, I find a lot of
our student athletes that we recruit come from, you know,
tournaments down in Louisville, Kentucky. There's a big one down
there for women's basketball. Even our Connecticut AE teams will
(02:04):
go down to those tournaments and play and they are huge.
Like in Louisville, it's about ninety courts close to ninety
courts and a convention center, so you're definitely getting your
steps in during the day. But as a coach, you
have to be really really organized, you know, and focused
when you go down there. But yeah, AAU for true
(02:24):
freshman is where we is where we really pull from
once you build that relationship with them in a EU,
if they're local or local enough, we will certainly go
in and support them, you know, in their high school season.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
So well, and Coach Lynch, and we're talking to Kate Lynch.
She is the Southern Connecticut State University coach for women's basketball.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
I coached sixteen U seventeen.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
U baseball AAU, and we go to a lot of
those tournaments and you're playing fifty teams and all that
kind of stuff. And I try to remind my guys
that you know, most of the people scouting you know
you're good. They're looking for other their things. The way
you treat your teammates, the way you come on and
off the field and hustle and things like that. When
when you're not doing well, what are some of the
(03:08):
things that like Kate Lynch and your program look for.
Because you probably already have a tip or something. You
know someone's good. What are you looking at? What are
the intangibles that put someone on your team?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Yeah, a lot of what you just said, honestly, And
I know some people don't really believe that. But when
we go to a tournaments, You're right, we know who's talented.
We have a list of, you know, young people that
were going to go see. But when I sit down
at the game, I'm looking at you know, are they
hustling on.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
It off the court?
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Are they high fiving their teammates when they make a mistake.
Where does their head go? You know, when a coach
is speaking or trying to direct them, are they looking
at them in the eye. We're really looking for overall
being a great teammate because for us at Southern, we're
really focused on our foundation and our cultural culture piece.
And that's just not the basketball skill level. Right. I'd
(03:57):
rather take a student beat that has less skill but
has more of the other things I just talked about,
because they're more teachable. They're more coachable, you know, So
I would choose that player with a lesser skill set
that is coachable rather than you know, that's super high
talent who might be uncoachable. So all these little things
really do matter. So I hope, I hope everyone's listening
(04:18):
to their you know, AU coaches and their high school coaches,
because it does it does matter.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
September twenty fourth, right around the corner at Aria. We've
been talking about this for about a month now, the
s CSU basketball tip off dinner. You can find tickets
right now on sesu's website. There's a lot of influx
with Yukon here from SCSU lately. Obviously, our friend Scottie
Burrell has been coaching the men's program for a while.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
U cont great.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
There you've got coach read Now handling things and the fundraising,
which is just dynamite. That guy's been blowing my phone up,
I think every day since he's taken the.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Job, and he doesn't mind doing it.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
I love that coach.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
That's why national champions.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Coach Gino Donnie Marshall so much. Yukon is a part
of this tip off dinner. But then just even more so,
I was talking Abob Joyce heard that you were coming
on today, is like, oh, s c s U has
an exhibition with Yukon women's basketball this year, was like,
what what? I love it when the don't have no offense.
The smaller colleges of Connecticut women's program take on the
(05:25):
big dogs of Yukon. What do you expect to get
out of this exhibition? Because I don't think you're going
to win?
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Yeah, you wouldn't be both let me go buy the fu.
So we've played them a couple of year, we spent
them a couple of years ago as well. Honestly, for us,
it's an awesome experience to be able to even share
the court, you know, for me personal with coach Yama
and obviously with the talent that they have and they're
you know, defending national champions. But for us, we're really
(05:53):
looking at, you know, making sure that we can do
the little things that you know might not look pretty,
but we're going to count how many tips feet are
we trying to get to loose balls, you know, those
types of things. You're not looking at the score, but
because because you're right, we're not going to win, but
we're certainly going figure out there and try to play,
you know, our southern style of basketball as best that
(06:15):
we can because we think as a staff, if you know,
we can do a couple of really good things each possession.
You know, that's going to translate in us being able
to be more successful, you know, at our level. So
we appreciate the opportunity that you know, Coach Oriana, and
you've kind of given us, you know, to play them
this year.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
I know you're in the Southern Connecticut State University Hall
of Fame. You're one of the best players that ever
played there. Probably some of your players have never heard
of you, kind of like my players.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Yeah, just getting old.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Yeah, I never.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Knew that I played in the Major League EXA, have
no idea that you said. How do you get it
through to them? Because you're like me, you probably had
the most amazing work ethic because you loved it. I
try to get my boys to enjoy the suck of
practice and stuff, and you know, how do you get
that through to your players because you are probably a perfectionist.
(07:07):
You probably sat and shot a thousand foul shots a day.
How do you get them to do some of the
things you used to do?
Speaker 3 (07:15):
You know, it's it's not easy, But I also have
you know, my assistant coach Stefik is also on our
national championship team too, So the two of us, you know, know,
what it takes in order to be successful, right, And
anytime we step on the court, that banner is up there,
you know. So so we we do try to hold
them to a really high standard and we tell them
(07:36):
what it takes. You know, you have to sacrifice, maybe
you'll be the best, and you know, you got to
put in that extra effort when nobody is watching. And
some do it, some don't. But this particular group that
we have, you know, anytime I walking up up to
the office, there out there shooting, you know, and that's
all you're looking for. You want them to put in
that extra effort and to sacrifice a little bit in
(07:57):
order to do that. So if we want what we want,
we've got to make sure we're putting in that effort.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
I love where your program's headed again.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Nine to twenty four, September twenty fourth, Right around the corner,
folks go to se SU's websites. A great dinner, so
many great speakers, and it's a lot about basketball. The
SCSU basketball tip off guys were nineteen eleven. Last year,
you guys made it to you know, a playoff berth
and lost in the first round. But it looks like
you got a lot of things that you can build
on going into twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Yeah, we really do. I think our team last year
got a taste of, you know, being in the NCY tournament,
and I think they understand the level that they need
to be at now in order to get back there
and be move forward. So we've got a got a
good chunk of our you know, veterans coming back for
us that we're going to lean on. And I think
we've got a good mix of like I said, freshman
(08:45):
and transfers that will help elevate us to that next level.
And you know, it's only been practiced three but they
seem really really focused on that particular goal, you know,
not only getting to the tournament, but then dancing as
far as we can in that tournament and do everything
in our control.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
To make that happen.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
What do you think of the w n B A
and and how it's grown over the last few years.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
It's funny. I have I have two young children that
have a seven year old daughter and a six year
old Sony six now, you know, and my son Jack,
who is probably the biggest six year old male w
NBA fan you know, and probably.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
In the world awesome.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
So the idea that when I was growing up, the
w n b A it was around right, there was
you know, you had to Rebecca Lobo with the liberty
you had, you know, a Ryl Soops and I can
go on and on right, but the fact that it
gets to raise a daughter in this environment, uh, you know,
where I can put on a w NBA game every
(09:43):
single day multiple you know, throughout the summer has really
been amazing. Amazing to watch the accessibility of the w
n b A and where it's that. It's just it's
something I wasn't i didn't grow up with, and so
I'm really thankful for you know, all the women that
came before who kind of opened that door, and for
the for the women that have stepped through that door,
(10:05):
you know, to be role models for not only my
daughter and my son, but for everybody else. So it's
been a really cool experience as a mother to watch,
you know, your two young kids get excited about women's
basketball and have the accessibility that it does.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
And now it's great you can explain to your kids
what it's like being a Connecticut pro sports fan where
your team's probably gonna get taken away from you no.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Got a lot of sun games, though I know it sucks.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
I'm wear of my son necklace right now as I
always do.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
And they're gonna leave.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Coach, I no, I still have faith. I still have
my fingers and my toes, my eyes crossed, my balls.
Maybe you can keep from here. But yeah, I mean,
that's that is. I mean, that is really awesome to
be able to take you know, my family up to
Mohigan and just to be able to see that that level.
It's so accessible and you can't there's no bad the house,
(11:00):
you know. So that's been a lot of fun to
be able to take them to a couple of games,
you know, a couple of games of summer. So yeah, I'm.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Still hopeful, Kate. We appreciate your time.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
We're definitely gonna, you know, continue to try to build
this relationship and have you on the show more often.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Especially after keep on in that exhibition. Yeah, don't listen
to Ben. You're gonna take them out. He beat their ass.
Thank you, coach, Thank you, coach.
Speaker 3 (11:23):

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
