Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Halliver. Hen'll take it. He'll backpen on a free for
the real I wanna come back, he tried me to
Eves Sports Radio. It is May the twenty second, twenty

(00:22):
twenty five. I got Shannon behind the glass. It is
phone number five zero two five seven one seventy nine
hundred Sports Talk seven ninety k r D. Now we've
got that out of the way. I got my younger son,
Anthony Eves on the line with me. Aunt, Well, we're
watching it. What do you think, Anthony, what do you

(00:43):
think of that last shot?

Speaker 2 (00:47):
We got pacers in four that's all.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
You've gone crazy. That's not gonna happen. But but I'm
telling you what, Anthony. Listeners, listen to me. I have
watched NFL football games and screamed at the television. Everybody
knows I'm just a football person. I really am. My
dad wouldn't let me play football in high school. I
was heartbroken. Best decision he ever made for me. But

(01:16):
I love football. I have screamed at the television numerous times. Guys.
When that shot went in is the first time I
can ever remember watching an NBA playoff game, something that
I did for a living, that I screamed like it
was an NFL football game, and I mean I screamed.
I could not believe that ball went in the basket.

(01:38):
I was like, oh my goodness, Reggie Miller reincarnated. And
I said, well, don't go that far. Halliburn's not Reggie,
but he's Anthony. Three game winners are game tying shots
this playoffs. And I screamed, you know I did. So
you jumped up, started to run around the basement. Your
mother was screaming, Anthony, last night's game, it's gonna go

(02:01):
down and infamy. I'm being honest with you. I loved it.
What did you think before we get into the inertia
of what happened, what do you think that was?

Speaker 2 (02:10):
That was incredible last night?

Speaker 1 (02:11):
That was.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
That shows you just know anything can happen in playoff basketball.
Obviously watching it for some reason, I don't know why,
Like I had like a little like a little thought
in my head. I was like, I was like, hmm,
because they hit it three. I said, they done fourteen,
three and a half minutes, two and a half minutes.
I was like, they come out there and hit another
shot and get a stop. I was like, this, see
the digit ball game. I was like, go put pressure

(02:34):
on the Knicks. Little I know they'd come down there
and Nee Smith would hit seven threes in a row.
But I wasn't exciting it to go like that. I
thought they would make a comeback, you know, you know,
hitting a couple of shots, you know they they probably
would end up losing. It would just be a close game.
But I was wrong. I think I think a lot
of us were surprised. Even Pager's fans were surprised. Knicks

(02:56):
fans were surprised. The master surprise. Master Garden is still
still up right now.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
They found out of that place quickly last night. I
know that they showed them leaving Anthony. I've seen a
lot of basketball games I have played and coached in
Madison Square Garden. I've been there. I know it like
the back of my hand. I was telling you and
your mother it was over. I said. The Pacers know

(03:25):
how to finish, they know how to close. The first
problem is this, and it's not a slap at all.
Runson was off the last four minutes. When he came
back in after the foul trouble, Anthony turned the ball
over three times. And that's just uncharacteristic of Jalen Brunson period.
I know his dad Rick so well. He's played. Brunson

(03:48):
has played so well for them. But that's the first thing.
Turnovers are always a key factor and letting a team
back in the game, that's the first thing. Second thing
for our listeners, Anthony, I want them to understand score,
four and clock. When I watched college games, I lose
my mind. I just have no idea what that means.

(04:10):
And everyone says, play the same way the entire game. No,
you do not. The last two minutes you start to
play time and score, and yes, Anthony, your team has
to hit free throws. People will say, well, we missed
the free throws. Then they have to work on them.
It's still the right way to play. Indiana Pacers went
one for two critical time in the game, one for

(04:32):
two and Anobie and Carl Anthony, Anthony, still the right
way to play. So last night, after we did all
the screaming, I went to the play by play. I
wanted to say, see, here's exactly what the Knicks did wrong.
They shot the ball too quickly when they were up fourteen. Anthony,
That's what I thought, just watching the game, that's not

(04:56):
what happened, Anthony. The Knicks did run the clock down.
The Knicks didn't. They shot it quickly. One time Corinthony
Towns had a lay up opportunity. I taught my team
take lay up opportunities. Put the two points on the board.
He did. That is the only time that they shot
the ball within twelve seconds of the shot clock. The
rest of the time, Anthony, they did work. The time

(05:18):
you're playing, both the score and the time you're playing,
both two things are going on. People don't know that
you're just looking at the score. No, So the Knicks
on fifty percent of it. And you heard coach Tibodeau say,
we've got to watch the tape. They're going to watch
the tape. Guys, they're not going to be critical of
their time management with the ball. I'm trying to keep

(05:40):
this where people can understand it without it being too
much Anthony of basketball lingo. But as long as you
have the ball, your opponents can't score. So the longer
you keep it in the twenty four second shot clock
the last two minutes, the less possessions you give your opponent.
That's the first part. Second part, Anthony, on the other

(06:02):
end when they watch the tape today, which they're going
to do, and the players want to win. Guys, they're
playing now. Nobody's taking off plays, they're gutting it out.
I loved watching it. They did not force the Pacers
to shoot twos. That allowed them to shoot threes. And
you know, there is the luck of the game. John

(06:24):
Wooden said it the luck of the game. I love
Need Smith. Anony's a good player, but he'll never go
eight for nine again. I'm sorry you will not. He's
not gonna go eight for nine, Anthony. He's not gonna
make every three the last two minutes of a game again.
I don't care if anyone says I'll put up a dollar.
So by allowing that and he making the shots, Anthony

(06:46):
and the Knicks going one for two at the free
throw line, it allowed them to go into overtime. So
the facets of the game that I want people to understand,
clock management, understanding when if you have it, they don't.
When you're up and you're leading, you want to keep

(07:06):
the ball as long as possible. They can't score it
when you're playing a better opponent, like I used to
do a lot with all the pay games, at A
and T, Anthony, I told my team, don't take bad shots.
I'd rather the thirty second shot clock twenty four in
the NBA, thirty in college would run out, because it's
better for us to let the better team take the

(07:28):
ball out of bounds and we set our defense then
turn it over. Which brings me to the key why
the Knicks lost fifteen turnovers, Anthony, compared to the Pacers seven.
That was the difference in the game. And Brunson had
critical turnovers down the stretch, which he's going to watch

(07:49):
himself on tape. He's a great team leader, Anthony. Both
teams I love their coaches. You don't see the negativity.
You don't see the code. The player's trying to run
the code. Let's give Rick Carlisle all the credit. He
held his challenge, Anthony, you see Lebron, I hate to
tell you, you'll see all the great players start spinning

(08:11):
their finger. Let's review it in the first quarter. A
good coach should tell his team, don't even look at
me in the first, second or third quarter. Don't even
motion to me that we're looking at it. That's when
you know you've got a well coached team. It doesn't
mean anything. If I lose the game in the first quarter,
they were going to beat me. So again, when you're
watching the game as I do, when I see those

(08:33):
guys spinning looking at the coach, and then you see
the coach turning around looking at the staff behind, which
is looking at the computer, to say, we may have
a good chance. That's a coach and not in control. Anthony,
I don't even care what happens to the fourth quarter.
I'm holding my challenge. I'm just telling everybody I am
holding my challenge. Your team should know that they shouldn't

(08:53):
even look at you. That's what I'm trying to tell you.
The coaches, some are letting the inmates run the asylum.
That's all. One flew of a cuckoo's nest, like you said,
are we all crazy on this bus and you're too
young to know it? And chief said yes, and one
flew over the cuckoo's nest? Well, yeah, we know it's

(09:14):
on the bus. Players Are they're crazy? You don't listen
to so Carlisle, Congratulations, that's the butcher Beard's prodigy. Just
like I am for holding your challenge, I'm just telling
you should never use it. I don't care if it's blatant.
You don't use it. You have no idea what those
rests are going to say. You don't use it. And
when Rick used it, it was a critical block, a

(09:36):
critical block. So looking at the facets, looking at what
the Knicks are going to have to go through, they're
going to watch the tape and they're going to give
you clock management. They were good at that. All you
have to do is go to the play by play
on ESPN and you'll see when the Knicks had the ball,
they kept it twenty seconds twenty one seconds of a
twenty four second shot clock. They did their job. They

(09:58):
did not shoot the ball. Quick got me the second facet,
which they did not take care of. When they had
the ball. They went one for two critical points of
the game at the free throw line. Still the right
way to play. Your players have to make the free throws.
Derek Smith, sixty six percent free throw shooter, rolled them
both in in the championship game. Guys, like I told you,

(10:20):
you just have to make them. Doesn't make that Towns
is not a great player, and someone else went one
for two. I forgot who it was, Anonobe, But again,
you just have to make them. That's all. There's a
time you have to deliver, period, point blank. Jerry's had
to make the eighteen foot left wing jump shot that
Denny Crumb said, and Daryl Griffith, you're gonna have to

(10:41):
shoot it. Jerry's had to make the layup to tie
the game. You have to make it. There's certain times
in the game you got to come through anthemy. So
they'll watch it car Anthony Towns and then we'll get
in the gym. They'll shoot free throws. They'll make them.
The biggest critical mistake is they did not force the
Pacers to shoot twos. What does that mean? Two four six,

(11:05):
eight ten. Let me say that again. Two four six,
eight ten five possessions, three six nine three possessions got
me less possessions, more opportunities for points. You have to
force them inside a three point line. You almost have
to be playing on the outside. Reggie Miller said on

(11:26):
one they had to switch it out. I don't care
if the big man posts be in scores. I don't care.
You switch your big out to take away Nisse Smith's
three Anthony, which they did not do, which is what
they'll practice today. I guarantee you they will go through
it and when it happens again, it may not win
the game, but you will see them execute better. That's all. Well,

(11:47):
the big mental score on ing Jerry. All I want
to make sure is my players know, do not file him.
Make them bring the ball down the floor, make them
enter to the post, make him turn and shoot it.
Make them score two. You get the ball in bunce
more possessions. So we're gonna get to break in at
seven seventeen. When we come back, we're gonna talk more
about it. I want to ask you when we come back.

(12:08):
When he looked at Reggie, how can you to be
You've got Reggie Miller over there, Anthony with the choke side,
which again is a personal friend of mine, know him well,
and you see that Halliburton is trying to say I
did what you did Reggie. Well he did, and he
was close. He died the game. But he's out Reggie
Miller yet. This is the Sports Radio. We'll be back

(12:29):
after the break. Welcome back to Eve Sports Radio seven
one made the twenty second twenty twenty five. I was
screaming last night in this chair. It was a great game.
I told you all. I watched the NBA playoffs and
they've been a very entertaining playoffs. Okay, see and the

(12:51):
Nuggets was a really good series. I enjoyed watching that one.
I wanted to see the Timberwolves and the Warriors. But
when Curry went down, of course, we know I was
watching Draymond Green announcing. Then he does an excellent job.
He's a better announcer than he his player. That's all
there is to it. But we know they had no
chance when Curry went down. Golden State had no chance.

(13:11):
So Anthony, what did you think about the choke side?
And is Halliburton going to be the next Reggie Miller.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
That's a tough comparison. We're comparing, you know, the guy
who's been an NBA All Star maybe once or twice
to a Hall of Famer. So I can't throw him
in that category. Yet, Dude, his the potential to I
think he does. I think he's on the right teams
with the right organization, with how he plays in his
plays down. A lot of people talked about it too.
They said, you know, he's not a flashy All Star,

(13:43):
but all the All Star said that he's the type
of All Star that you would won on your team
because how he plays, he's not selfish. He can play
without the ball. There's times you'll see it. It will
be five six positions in the row. He'll just be
going down into the corner. He won't even move. So
he lets other people work the ball and try to
get into a rhythm as well, rather than just being
so ball heavy like a lot of the All Stars are,
which is one thing I do like because sometimes it's

(14:06):
I hate when players like, oh, he's shooting bad, or
he's on Lebron, he's not hitting shots. I'm like, we
gotta understand, if you've ever played in any type of
basketball game, it's hard to get into a flow when
you're just doing suicides up and down the court for
ten minutes straight. Then you finally get it and you're
almost surprised that you get it, and you ain't touch
the ball in ten minutes and you shoot it, you
shoot a brick. I'm like, it just kind of is
what it is, and that's and that's the facts. You know,

(14:28):
when I'm not knocking some of the All Stars, I
know that's just kind of their role on the team.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
But well, no, the NBA's turned into iceo ball. Anthony Anthony.
The NBA's turned into iceo ball. I hate it. That's
why I don't watch it, Anthony. It's a pick and
roll and you'll see one player dominate the ball. I mean,
without a doubt, you'll see him dominate the ball. And
that's kind of what it's turned to. But you're right,
Halliburt and Anthony. I didn't love him last year because

(14:53):
he turned the ball over and the crunch didn't get
a shot off. But he's starting to grow on me
and he has made big shots, Anthony. He's made big
shots now, just like OKC. Indiana has got a very
good team top to bottom, Anthony. They do. They have
a lot of young players. I think they're going to
be good. You played against Pascal and a lot of

(15:15):
people don't know that at New Mexico State when you're
at Chicago State. I was at the game. He was
really good at New Mexico State. He's really good, Anthony.
He is really good. He knows how to play. People
don't know how big he is. He's truly six'. Ten
that kid's. Good turner's. Improving Niece, smith what can we?
Say here's my. MIND i just can't Believe Nim Hart.

(15:37):
Anthony in the, playoffs he's twice the PLAYER i want
people to. Understand regular, season he's a good player in the.
Playoffs that three he made in overtime was the, game
the shot that made won the game for The. Pacers
if he doesn't make that Three pacers get beaten, overtime
he has just playing the lights. OUT i, Mean, anthony
he was six or, ten two for, three one for,

(15:58):
two fifteen. POINTS i, mean that's great production out of that,
Kid great production out of a kid that doesn't play
that well regular. Season BUT i like their bench, ALSO
i love. TOPPING i mean it was a three point
Played Anthony topic dunked on that boy and got filed
period point blank jumps out of the. Gym he used
to be a. NICK i was glad to see. That

(16:19):
SO i like their. TEAM i LIKE tj. McConnell i,
MEAN i Like Rick. CARLISLE i, Mean i've Known Rick
goalley forty. Years SO i like The pacers. GROUP i
didn't think they were that good AN i didn't think
they would be where they, Are but they're starting to
show people that they can play and they can put
different lineups on the floor THAT i. Like So you've

(16:40):
got to Give halliburton credit for, that because you're. Right
the rest of the team has a. Personality Sometimes anthony
would start. Players the rest of the team does not
have a, personality and that's that's a. Problem so it's
a series, Now, Anthony that's all there is to. IT
i thought it would be The knicks and six pretty,
easy go up two to zero in one game In,

(17:02):
indiana be three to, one come, back finish in five or.
Six AND i think we got this a seven game,
series but we have to wait and. See we have
to wait and. SEE i do think That Tom thibodeaux
and The knicks will not pull A. CLEVELAND i do
think that they will fix some of their. ERAS i
think they'll finish closed games at the. End LIKE i told,
people they did one of the three facets. Correctly missing

(17:26):
the free throws is still the right way to. Play
the players just have to make. Them THAT'S i, mean
they have to make. Them so we'll see what happens, tonight,
though ant can anybody do anything with THE? Mvp and
can Aunt man bounce back from the thirteen shots which
everyone is talking about? Now and, YES i want to

(17:47):
say it, Again, anthony at this point of the. Season
your star players got to be star. Players either they're
the goats and they, miss that's well they, miss or
they're the reasons why they make all the. Money so
does Ant man bounce? Back can he bounce? Back can
they do anything With okac At okac tonight.

Speaker 2 (18:12):
And man will definitely bounce. Back will their team as
a whole bounce. Back i'm not. SURE i think that's
a little bit more to predicated on How Julius randall
And Anthony edwards. Played Julius randall has showed up the
last couple of. Games he showed.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
Up NOW i didn't Like jesus that boy's showing. Up
he's shown up in the, playoffs ANY i GOTTA i
have to give him his. DUE i don't like. HIM i, thought,
BOY i said The knicks stole that. One Julius randall's
played lights. Out anthony he has And i'm not a,
fan but he's posted. People, yes he hit, threes a
lot of threes in the last. Game But, anthony he's

(18:48):
played to his. STRENGTH i mean he's tried to play.
Defense he's been running back on. DEFENSE i mean he's
got to come up. Big but he played well for
him in the last. Game he's played well for him
in these. PLAYOFFS i think he's found a home also.
Myself do you Like randall his style of?

Speaker 2 (19:05):
Play it's gotten better throughout the, Years i'll say that.
Much WHEN i WHEN i first saw, him even when
he was on The, lakers and when he went to The.
Timberwolves i'm be completely, HONEST i didn't Like Julie, Randalls
like his game is kind of just it's kind of
stuck to, me AND i just and it. Was it
was weird because he was he's sixty, nine two, seventy
but he wants to play like a shooting. Guard AND

(19:26):
i was, like you're not really playing to your strength
because you're not that great of a. Shooter you're not
the best ball, handler and you're not the best, facilitator
but you want to do everything that appoints our. DESK
i was, like you need to work more in the
low post mid range area and really dominate the, people
because You he is a. Mismatchmaker if you gets put
by big sinders and power, forwards he's fast enough and

(19:46):
strong enough where he can blow by him and. Finish
if you put a small guard on, him he'll put,
it he can finish every. Time he's finally starting to
realize that and developing that to where he's consistently going
out there and giving you twenty five thirty points a.
Night in the, playoffs he's done it.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
Provides six games in a.

Speaker 2 (20:01):
Row i'm, like he's finally starting to figure out his play,
stoff how he can dominate to get past that all
star role to become more of a superstar in that
running mate With Anthony. Edwards Anthony edwards has figured it.
Out he didn't do it last, night but he even
needs sending his postgame interview that he can't go out
there and shoot thirteen shots and inspect his team to,
win WHICH i still, hate and it sounds and this

(20:22):
is crazy off, topic BUT i hate that he said
F ford one time and they charged him fifty thousand,
dollars but they won't charge anybody for flopping in. Games
it's just.

Speaker 1 (20:31):
Okay we'll talk about the, flop but ANY i don't want,
him and everybody's. Listening AND i got Told jan everybody's.
Listening they go in the locker. ROOM i get on,
coaches So i've got to get On. Anthony here's the
reason why they have a cool. Downtime they do not
make you walk in front of the. Mic most of the,
time they go to the winning. Team you didn't see

(20:51):
him grab the losing team. Yesterday right, away they grabbed
the winning team and we watched him do all the postgame.
Interviews but the key is they're supposed to go in
the locker room and be an adult and. Gathered yes
he didn't say, it but once it's onces too, many Because,
anthony everybody's, listening young kids are, listening and what happens is,
this then the high school kid wants to do, it
just like the flop you see high school. KIDS i

(21:14):
saw a little middle school kid flop and the ref
called it and it was so. Funny the little player
looked at him and, said what because everybody's faking it
now because they're watching so In, anthony much Given much,
expected just remember, that and we don't like. That we
don't live by that creed. Anymore So i'm not getting after,
You Anthony. Eves i'm just Telling Anthony edwards Much Given Much,

(21:35):
expected and, yes, no we don't get. That out of all,
levels we know, that and that's really disturbing to. Me
but we got a sports, show AND i don't go
into the politics. SIDE i stay out of. That but,
NO i still want the, Athletes. Anthony he goes into
the locker room ten fifteen minutes to cool, down come back.
Out you can express your, displeasure but just leave the

(21:57):
f bombs, out because anty high school player's going to do,
it and he's gonna get really disciplined for, it and
he's gonna be, like, WELL i Heard, anthony and that's the.
Problem that's the only, Problem Charles barkley said a long time.
Ago i'm not a role, model and yes you, Are.
CHARLES i hate to tell. You sometimes you don't get to, Choose.
Sanny that's the. Problem sometimes you don't get to choose your.

(22:18):
Status i'm not saying it's right or, wrong but it's
placed upon you by the things that you, do and
that the skills that are given to you and the
things that you have worked. On so that's the only
REASON i, Wish, yes he was. Fine i'm good with Defining.
RUDY i just don't want. Him after the cool down,
period go in, there express. Yourself Like Denny crumb told, Me,

(22:39):
Anthony denny wrote me up for cursing the players in,
practice not to fire, me not to even think about.
IT i wouldnt even worry about my. Job you, Understand
denny was my. DADDY i had a job for. Life
IF i stayed as long as Coach crumb was, there
you got. Me but he wanted me to be. Better
SO i want to get to Be he's Got Michael

(22:59):
Jordan Levell brian, level AND i want him to reach,
that you, Know Oscar robinson, level AND i want him
to reach full game Because anthony off top, it we're
gonna get to. Break he's had. Issues you, know he's
got babies everywhere he's his life is. Spiraling he needs
to get a mentor that can get a whole team
because there are things around. Him, Anthony he's not you,

(23:19):
know he's just writing ten million dollar checks to. Women
now leave me alone that have his. KIDS i, know
you got to slow your. Role so there's things he
has to work on off that, court and that's one of. Them,
man no offensive butts seven thirty. Two, brother we gotta

were the. Rights but you still have to understand there's
a balance between. Both and when it comes to my,

(25:53):
university which is my, university AND i express my displeasure
with what happened and transparent that so everybody terped me
a nine card and they'll call me, jerk called me all
kind of you, know four letter, words which was, fine no,
problem didn't change my. RESOLVE i was right, then right.
Now when those things, happen people have to lose their.
JOB i don't care who it. Is. Period so Coach

(26:16):
patino's still a friend of, mine BUT i don't. Care
those things. Happened he had to. Go Tom dredsee said,
no he had to. Go. Period that's all there is to.
It this isn't. Hard doesn't mean they can't get other
jobs and go on and do great things like Coach patino's.
Doing but in this aspect that my, school they got to. Go,
well you, know you can't say. That you don't say,

(26:37):
that you're Not who are you to say? That, okay that's.
FINE i just happened to have a radio, Show dad.
McDonald i just googled. IT i wanted people to. SEE
i want you. To if you google it and it'll come,
up you'll See dan McDon donald Hugging Tom jerche ten years,
ago signed a new ten year deal one million per,
year got me and the first comment underneath from a.

(27:00):
Guy now this is nine years. Ago i'm no. Problem
this makes him the high speed coach in the. Nation
i'm not sure if that's. True he was. High he's close,
though But i'm not saying that's. True this is not.
Verified but these are just some of the things louis
was not messing around when it comes to. Coaches out
of the five major, SPORTS i don't think there's a
better coaching combination in the. Country damn McDonald's. Argue the

(27:21):
best of, them all of them here At, louisville all
of them here At. Louisville that was Rip petino And
petrino and got. Me it's, okay no. Problem but the
problem with the one me and ten year deal for
a non revenue sport that doesn't make a. Dime let
me say it to you all. Again that doesn't make a.
Dime not a, Penny, okay not a penny when you

(27:43):
put revenue to. Expenses they've never made a. Dime so
don't forget. THAT i was talking about how do we pay,
people how do we give away them? Easy they've never
turned a. Dime so you'll, say, well when they go
far in the tournament and they get to The World
series and people watch, them it helps our Enrollment that

(28:04):
is a true, Statement, anthony you got. Me it helps,
enrollment but it still ain't never made a. DIME i
don't care what anybody, says but it does give you national,
exposure which will bring a few students to your. SCHOOL
i agree with that, piece but it's still never made a.
Dime so they lose thirteen eleven To, Pittsburgh, okay no big.

(28:29):
DEAL i think we had one caller or. No we
spoke about. It nobody called in about, it and nobody
was upset about it other than they're going to the.
Tournament they're still. Going it doesn't mean that they can't
go and win The College World. Series they could do,
that and he's a good enough coach for them to do.
That BUT i pick up the paper And i'm looking

(28:50):
at Cel brown AND i opened it up front page.
Today still fighting For cardinals. Resources McDonald's still fighting for cards.
RESOURCES i, SAID i, said, no we can't be here.
Now we just can't be here. PERIOD i can't be
listening to What i'm listening. To SO i want to
explain to you, all just LIKE i did when we

(29:12):
were talking About. Khalifa in my, opinion, guys he does
not get the year. Back i'm not A louisville. Hater
i'm just telling you the. RULES i tried to get
a player of mine the year back three times at
THE d two level nine. Scholarship no money got. Me
everything's about money other than my. Level that's WHY i
asked for it so easily in my golf. Outing but

(29:34):
the bottom line Is university Of louisville damn McDonald's. Program
there were twenty seven and. Seven, yes THE acc gets
an abundance of home games because they're one of The
power four. Conferences but, still when you play thirty four
home games compared to eighteen road, games, guys they're backing.

(29:55):
You they're buying you home. Games they're bringing you opponents
that you can beat to help the confidence of your
players and their. Coaches. Records so Here's louisville twenty seven
and seven at, home good record six and twelve, away
bad record two and two on a neutral. Site fifty got.

(30:17):
Me But louisville played thirty four home. Games they do
support coach. McDonald i hate to tell, him AND i
don't know Why Josh hurt hadn't just straight told him
the real, deal the. FACTS i pick up the paper
AND i read. THIS i Told, ANTHONY i, SAID i
gotta read. This louisville loses To pittsburgh thirty two and.
Eleven i'm reading. Verbatim Cl brown in the A sec

(30:39):
tournament On, tuesday but would be headed to its fourteenth
N Caa tournament regional appearance in McDonald's nineteen seasons at The,
helm that's very. Good fourteen of nineteen got. Me he's
paid to win. It but that's very good for A
louisville program that he did, resurrect just like Coach. CRUMB i, mean, well,
no that's not. True Coach crumb did not really. Direct

(31:00):
that's not. True sorry about. That Coach crumb won the
first true national. Chum that's not. True that's not true,
either Because tyree won one in the. Fifties Coach crumb
won the FIRST ncaa. Title let me make Sure i'm
accurate with What i'm. Saying louisville had won one With Charlie. Tyrae, anthony,
wait before you were born and BEFORE i was. Born
so fourteenth parent nineteen. Seasons even with his track record

(31:24):
of Turning louisville baseball into a national, power McDonald's is
concerned with the amount of money put into players might
be the only way to determine what team advances in the.
Postseason then here's the part that drives me. Crazy will,
outwork will out, Hustle we'll out, smart will out out,
tough will outgrind as much as we. Can McDonald's, says,

(31:49):
guys those statements are saying that he doesn't have the
resources that other teams. HAVE i got, you bottom, Line,
dan give some of your salary back point. Blame it's
not the one million dollars giving away ten years ago
By Tom jurch who loved giving away other people's. Money
oh he did that without a. Doubt it's that there's a.

(32:10):
Kicker there's a clause in the contract that bumps up
the amount every, year no matter it gets bumped. Up
SO i want people to go research it. Yourself that
one million dollar contracts above one point six million now and, rising.
Guys university Of loo has not won A College World. Series,

(32:32):
no he's not the highest paid baseball. Coach but the
people that are paid more have won national. Championships but
the bottom line, is for all, this when people are
getting after my student athletes were getting. Paid this is
a ten year. Deal student athletes weren't getting paid. Then
and if you going to research, it baseball teams have

(32:54):
a large. Roster THE ncaa only gives them like thirteen
scholarships full of. Scholarships they break that up amongst the.
Players AND i could be. Wrong it maybe twelve and a.
Half it may be thirteen somewhere in the ball. Game
don't hold me to. It but it's not scholarship per,
player which means you have players on that team that

(33:14):
are paying their parents are paying for them to be
on that, team while you're paying your coaching staff more
than the program's. Worth AND i mean that so, again
sometimes it just comes no. One it's a blessing coach,
McDonald damn. It if you don't know, it somebody needs
to tell, you period point. Blank you've done a great

(33:38):
job At. Louisville AND i wouldn't say a word IF
i didn't continue reading these things. Always we got to do.
More we gotta do. MORE i gotta fight for my.
Program you could start by giving back some without a,
doubt but you know, what don't say, That. Anthony this
is the part that drives me. Nuts oh what are
we gonna? DO a? Name image and. Likeness how are

(34:00):
we gonna pay these? Players where we? Can first start
looking at the. Administrators i've made myself notes THAT i never. Used.
Anthony Acc Commissioner Jim phillips made four point one million last.
Year always say IS ncaly can't do anything? Right, well
how are these commissioners making four point one? Million Big
tens Commissioner Kevin warren who, left he left to go

(34:23):
to The. Bears he left making five point seven million
in twenty twenty. Three that's WHY i don't want anybody
to ever players are getting paid or hurting the. Game
get away from. ME i mean that this is. Stupidness
the bottom gets paid and everybody goes. Crazy the top
has been robbing. FOREVER i mean. Robbing look at your.

(34:47):
Employers everybody knows. It nobody wants to hear. It they
get mad at me Because i'm telling the. Truth, dang
you have the person making six hundred. Thousand, see a
person should want to work for twenty four. Thousand get.
Away come, on, guys that's Where america. Is and when
everybody goes, yes that's wrong with. Us it's. Amazing so

(35:08):
it's time for coach. McDonald just coach your. Team continue
doing a great. Job university Of louisville has supported you
on teenth and there are a million people that would
want that. Job. Period so when we get, back we
