national championship. His team is now Division one. They love
playing the local folks and their schedule is out now.
Scott Davenport, welcome back. Good to have you on.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Why when we are one day apart one year part
on our birthday are you sharing how my age.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
You're but you seem so much younger than I. The
other day I was driving like a little old lady,
just driving slowly, and it was early morning. I was
getting my wife's coffee, and I saw a figure streak
across Brownsboro Road, running like a gazelle, And I said
to myself, who is that twenty year old? And it
(00:51):
turns out it was a twenty year old. And you
came up a few minutes later, and you were kind
of lumbering when you crossed the No, I'm kidding you
still look you still great, Scotty D.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Thank you, Terry Miider.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Your new schedules out and I'm happy for you. The
full schedules all out for your twenty twenty four to
twenty twenty five season at Bellerman and I know you're
excited because it's almost here. I mean, your first exhibition
there is listed on at the end of this month,
and here we are on October first. We're in the
season again. In your feeling, and aren't you, Scott Well.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
I wouldn't have sprinted off the practice for right now
as we are going to the last two segments of
practice for anybody other than you.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Yes, I'm excited, Thank you, sir, and Terry. I was
telling you.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
First and foremost this move and this return to the Highlands,
these students, the supporters.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Be it, alumni, be it just loyal fans, be it.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
I don't care if your uku of l Bellerman basketball anybody.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
This is about you. Yes, Terry, you grew up here,
You grew up blocks away.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
You know, you know Currents Corner Shenanigans, Klan's, Derby City
has take Derby City, Pizzas taken over Dundee Tavern.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
I can't get a tab at any of those places anymore.
They just run me out, not you. That's just tell
them you.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Know me, and you'll be able to tell them.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
You know, Ian Birtrees, He'll pick it up.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Put this on Scottie's tab they'd start laughing.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I see they would, no terry, But think of this,
I and I were talking to this solf there. If
you step back and think of twenty twenty when we
transitioned and my first Division one meeting, our players were
standing next to the car in the lobby and excuse me,
in the parking lot of nights aw on July the fifth,
(02:43):
and I'm telling them where to go get tested, and
I'm telling them where they have to quarantine until we
get the results. That doctor and missus Lymb built this
incredible locker room. But that's our first meeting. So in
that four year transition period we played for the championship,
and we win the championship in year two.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
You think what we've gone through.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
And we're appreciative of the Kentucky Exposition Center, mister Beck,
doctor Lynn.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
They saved us the health departments hosts.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
We could have three hundred and twenty eight people, nobody
in the student section because no social distancing.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
It was bleachers. So we're so appreciative.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
But for these students to have a college experience, then
every night should be special for them.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
And I'm not talking about the players.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
I'm talking about all the student body at Bellerment, potential
Bellarment students. What if that students section, What if it's
fifties or seventies night, what if it's hippie night or
beach night or yes.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Not not stupid.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
We did win ninety seven of our last one hundred.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Year Yeah, seventy two in a row. That helps.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Not that we're taling, but I'm so appreciative We've had
Donor step forward. We're revitalizing nights all between the semesters.
The week of December the sixteenth, we will have all
new video walls at new scores tables, all new optics, audios,
(04:09):
audio visual, both audio and visual. And the reason we
have to wait till between the semesters because we've got
women's men's basketball and volleyball utilizing it right now. That's
just the start. We've got contributors who stepped up. We
need even more, and that's staged. I give you this
reference point. What if that stage becomes a Churchill Downs club,
(04:32):
one of the clubs that we see at Churchill. Then
the Terry Miners walks in and Mary walk in and
they go.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
How do I get on with that group?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
We want the experience here to be for everybody, pregame,
post game. That's why we're playing at six thirty on Thursdays,
That's why we're playing at three o'clock on Saturdays.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
We want people to enjoy the experience.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
And is in an intimate setting, Yes, no doubt, yes,
and that's I mean, you've grown up, You've been in
this facility many, many times, and this is I think.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Without a doubt, a great, great commitment on behalf of
the university for the young people.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
You've got a great schedule too. You get fifteen homers
at Knights Hall this year and then get started officially
on November ninth. I see, but aren't you doing an
exhibition on October twenty ninth?
Speaker 2 (05:25):
And I'm that's going to be students, Okay, it's going
to be primarily all the bellarmint students get first party.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
I got you.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
But we're going to bring Holland Middle School our neighbor.
We've got six hundred and twenty five Highland Middle School students.
We've got Saint Agnes and Saint Francis Assissi.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Right next to US's great.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Yes, those are potential Bellarminte students. They should have a
great experience. Again, what these kids have been through.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
And I've got two grand children, beautiful Wren and Jake.
I'm not the answer, Terry. They have Popsy figured out.
He's them whatever they want.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
They got that figured out.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
But these young people, the sixteen players that are in
this locker room are the answer. They're incredible young people.
These young people, and I say, are about Wren and Jake.
They need these young people, we need. These young people
are the answer to all these questions that we have
going around. It's not me and you, it's not I
hate to break your heart. It's not it's these young people.
(06:25):
We got to invest in them, and we got to
get it out and we got to get the best
out of them.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Well you do that every year. We see that and
what happens with their players. But I know you're talking
about the young people in general. The student body is everywhere.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Yes, yes, think how different, Terry. I hate to break
your heart. But they make.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
More difficult decisions in a day than you and I made.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
In a month.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Yeah, and their decisions have life consequences.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
It's a lot more company. You and I were a
couple of dummies when we were in high school. We're
just dummies. And nobody bothered us. But now the world's
much more complex.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
You know, my fiftieth Iroquois reunion is this Friday night, Terry,
and it's very, very humbling because my starting backcourt player.
I started backcourt with Mike Shaw eighth, ninth, tenth, eleven,
twelfth grade, five straight years, and he's no longer with us.
Dean Johnson, Tommy Sears, Ben Rainey. I've lost these people.
(07:26):
How come, Terry, I was so lucky right, honestly, I
lost my dad when I was nine on the Halloween Day.
My mom was a superstar, ran her own business with
a one room schoolhouse education.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Why was I so lucky?
Speaker 2 (07:39):
It was the game of basketball, and it brought things
out in me that would have never happened.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
In this reunion, I will walk in.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
There being the luckiest person in that class, without a doubt.
But these young people that are out here today, we've
got to get him involved in things to bring out
the best in them.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
You can take your wife to this reunion and kiss
her a French kisser like you were doing back then.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
No, she went to Sacred Heart.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I'm married way above by when I met her, Terry,
when I met her and It was through a business
professional development a week long event, and she lived over
off Ottle While behind pat Steakhouse. And the first time
after I was coaching, it was February second and I
said to.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Her, you're a gu and she goes, what is a gu?
Speaker 2 (08:31):
I said, you're geographically undesirable. I live on Central Avenue
and you live off Browsboro Road. But but but forty
two years later, we're still to.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Kids, right, and she's living in her neighborhood all these
years later.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Yes, yes, yes, I'll be important. Yeah, she's not gonna
attend because she would know one person.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I'm taking Bruce Harrison, one of my greatest friends in
the world growing.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Up, and I'll tell you I'm going. Bruce and I
are going together. But you know, there's a there's a
committee that's worked very hard to put this on, and
that the kudos.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
But you know, you know, Terry, just you be thankful
every single day.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
It's true. Henry Sandel and I've already talked about our
fiftieth is next year, and we've decided we're going to
go ahead and slow dance anyway. Our wives aren't going.
I don't want to talk those old guys.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
You and doctor sad Loo. I want a video. I
want a video. I want to break down the dad staff.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
All right, So your basketball team, I just pulled you
out of practice. So what are you feeling with what
you've seen with this team this year?
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Well, it's a different time, Terry, but I will tell
you this.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
We have sixteen players on this roster, and I've evaluated
it much different than I have in the past. We've
got sixteen players who all want to be here. I
don't mean ninety nine percent, I mean one. We only
have one senior and he's gonna be eligible for another year. Now.
We do have three players who are completing eligibility. One
we'll have his MBA as a junior here because of
(09:53):
the red shirt year.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
He was injured last year with knee surgery. You know,
how will it develop? How?
Speaker 2 (09:58):
You don't know because you don't who you're playing against.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
But I want players who want to be here. Show
me Terry Miners, who loves his job at AHAs, and
he'll be good at it.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
If Terry Miners hated his job, he would be a
miserable person and terrible at what he does. And I
believe in that with all my heart. And I want
players who want us to coach, want us to coach
them hard, and they want to be coached hard, and
we want to coach them hard.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
That's what we're doing right this very second.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
So you know that's where you I think that's where
recruiting has changed. You have to evaluate in this world
of analytics, why not evaluate caring that counts. But that's
that doesn't exist in the world of analytics out of
all the percentages and all the things you can come
up with. And I'm very, very proud of these guys.
(10:49):
I am, and we go out there and coach the
socks off every day.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
I know you've got high quality people, men of integrity
on that team, and I know you're looking forward to
getting them out there on the floors. Guy out today, Yep.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Tomorrow, we're going to release the new ticketing agency we're
working through. It's called v Venue, like v Venue, and
then on Thursday, all Secon season ticket information will be
put out, all season ticket information on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
I'm looking forward to all of it. And when I
see you and I'm chasing my wife's coffee in the morning,
can I get you a hot chocolate or something at
the coffee shop, No, sir.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Not hot chocolate, but especially not coffee. I've never had
a cup of coffee in my life.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
I had one. I was thirteen. I was delivering papers,
freezing to death over there at white Castle, Preston and
Eastern Parkway. I thought, this is what people think is
good path. The old ladies in there said, oh, you're
freezing to death. Boy, here to drink this coffee. And
that's all I taught me a good lesson. Coffee reminds
me of being poor and freezing to death. I'm not
(11:54):
a fan.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
I coach eighteen to twenty two year olds every day.
I don't even get me going in the morning.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Good point. Okay, So the ticketing information comes out tomorrow,
and then what else is happening this week?
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Did you say there the new ticketing company, the agreements tomorrow,
and the season tickets start.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
The process starts on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Okay, very good, coach Scott.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
I will say this, yes, if you got a group,
if you got a group.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
And I learned this at U of L and we
went from Cardinal Stadium to Papa John's and then we
went from Freedom Hall to the Young if you've got
a group of six, but you got you got two others,
but maybe four others.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
You better get them together now because we don't have
twenty two thousand seats.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
So whenever somebody gets the seats next to you, your
friends are going to be shut out.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
It happened.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
I saw it happen going from the U of L
Stadium to the new Stadium, the new arena, from the
old arena of the News.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
So I'm just trying to encourage people. You know, if
you get your group together, get them now.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
You're so right. We moved from Freedom Hall to the
young center of a couple people was trying to get
away from. So I did let that slack. You can't
say that, Scotty d You are the best coach.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Terry.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
We're going to talk again throughout the season. I hope
you can carve out some time and I'll try my
best to not pull you out of practice.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Why one date night you and missus minors right behind that?
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Oh that sounds like fun. I love that. Thank you, Scott,
Appreciate you boy. You're back all right. There you go,
Scott Davenport. He's not old. He's gonna have a fiftieth
high school reunion this week. Is that what he said
this week? And he was, uh, he was a boy savant,
(13:38):
that's what it was. He graduated from high school when
he is four years old. So now do the math.
You're back in a minute on news radio eight forty.

national championship. His team is now Division one. They love

They just run me out, not you. That's just tell

Know me, and you'll be able to tell them.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
You know, Ian Birtrees, He'll pick it up.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Put this on Scottie's tab they'd start laughing.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I see they would, no terry, But think of this,
I and I were talking to this solf there. If
you step back and think of twenty twenty when we
transitioned and my first Division one meeting, our players were
standing next to the car in the lobby and excuse me,
in the parking lot of nights aw on July the fifth,
(02:43):
and I'm telling them where to go get tested, and
I'm telling them where they have to quarantine until we
get the results. That doctor and missus Lymb built this
incredible locker room. But that's our first meeting. So in
that four year transition period we played for the championship,
and we win the championship in year two.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
You think what we've gone through.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
And we're appreciative of the Kentucky Exposition Center, mister Beck,
doctor Lynn.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
They saved us the health departments hosts.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
We could have three hundred and twenty eight people, nobody
in the student section because no social distancing.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
It was bleachers. So we're so appreciative.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
But for these students to have a college experience, then
every night should be special for them.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
And I'm not talking about the players.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
I'm talking about all the student body at Bellerment, potential
Bellarment students. What if that students section, What if it's
fifties or seventies night, what if it's hippie night or
beach night or yes.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Not not stupid.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
We did win ninety seven of our last one hundred.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Year Yeah, seventy two in a row. That helps.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Not that we're taling, but I'm so appreciative We've had
Donor step forward. We're revitalizing nights all between the semesters.
The week of December the sixteenth, we will have all
new video walls at new scores tables, all new optics, audios,

just the start. We've got contributors who stepped up. We
need even more, and that's staged. I give you this
reference point. What if that stage becomes a Churchill Downs club,
(04:32):
one of the clubs that we see at Churchill. Then
the Terry Miners walks in and Mary walk in and
they go.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
How do I get on with that group?

Without a doubt, a great, great commitment on behalf of
the university for the young people.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
Yes, yes, think how different, Terry. I hate to break

How come, Terry, I was so lucky right, honestly, I
lost my dad when I was nine on the Halloween Day.
My mom was a superstar, ran her own business with
a one room schoolhouse education.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Why was I so lucky?
Speaker 2 (07:39):
It was the game of basketball, and it brought things
out in me that would have never happened.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
In this reunion, I will walk in.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
There being the luckiest person in that class, without a doubt.
But these young people that are out here today, we've
got to get him involved in things to bring out
the best in them.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
You can take your wife to this reunion and kiss
her a French kisser like you were doing back then.

Yes, yes, yes, I'll be important. Yeah, she's not gonna
attend because she would know one person.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I'm taking Bruce Harrison, one of my greatest friends in
the world growing.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Up, and I'll tell you I'm going. Bruce and I
are going together. But you know, there's a there's a
committee that's worked very hard to put this on, and
that the kudos.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
But you know, you know, Terry, just you be thankful
every single day.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
It's true. Henry Sandel and I've already talked about our
fiftieth is next year, and we've decided we're going to
go ahead and slow dance anyway. Our wives aren't going.
I don't want to talk those old guys.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
You and doctor sad Loo. I want a video. I
want a video. I want to break down the dad staff.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
All right, So your basketball team, I just pulled you
out of practice. So what are you feeling with what
you've seen with this team this year?
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Well, it's a different time, Terry, but I will tell
you this.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
We have sixteen players on this roster, and I've evaluated
it much different than I have in the past. We've
got sixteen players who all want to be here. I
don't mean ninety nine percent, I mean one. We only
have one senior and he's gonna be eligible for another year. Now.
We do have three players who are completing eligibility. One
we'll have his MBA as a junior here because of
(09:53):
the red shirt year.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
He was injured last year with knee surgery. You know,
how will it develop? How?
Speaker 2 (09:58):
You don't know because you don't who you're playing against.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
But I want players who want to be here. Show
me Terry Miners, who loves his job at AHAs, and
he'll be good at it.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
If Terry Miners hated his job, he would be a
miserable person and terrible at what he does. And I
believe in that with all my heart. And I want
players who want us to coach, want us to coach
them hard, and they want to be coached hard, and
we want to coach them hard.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
That's what we're doing right this very second.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
So you know that's where you I think that's where
recruiting has changed. You have to evaluate in this world
of analytics, why not evaluate caring that counts. But that's
that doesn't exist in the world of analytics out of
all the percentages and all the things you can come
up with. And I'm very, very proud of these guys.
(10:49):
I am, and we go out there and coach the
socks off every day.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
I know you've got high quality people, men of integrity
on that team, and I know you're looking forward to
getting them out there on the floors. Guy out today, Yep.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Tomorrow, we're going to release the new ticketing agency we're
working through. It's called v Venue, like v Venue, and
then on Thursday, all Secon season ticket information will be
put out, all season ticket information on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
I'm looking forward to all of it. And when I
see you and I'm chasing my wife's coffee in the morning,
can I get you a hot chocolate or something at
the coffee shop, No, sir.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Not hot chocolate, but especially not coffee. I've never had
a cup of coffee in my life.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
I had one. I was thirteen. I was delivering papers,
freezing to death over there at white Castle, Preston and
Eastern Parkway. I thought, this is what people think is
good path. The old ladies in there said, oh, you're
freezing to death. Boy, here to drink this coffee. And
that's all I taught me a good lesson. Coffee reminds
me of being poor and freezing to death. I'm not
(11:54):
a fan.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
I coach eighteen to twenty two year olds every day.
I don't even get me going in the morning.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Good point. Okay, So the ticketing information comes out tomorrow,
and then what else is happening this week?
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Did you say there the new ticketing company, the agreements tomorrow,
and the season tickets start.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
The process starts on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Okay, very good, coach Scott.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
I will say this, yes, if you got a group,
if you got a group.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
And I learned this at U of L and we
went from Cardinal Stadium to Papa John's and then we
went from Freedom Hall to the Young if you've got
a group of six, but you got you got two others,
but maybe four others.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
You better get them together now because we don't have
twenty two thousand seats.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
So whenever somebody gets the seats next to you, your
friends are going to be shut out.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
It happened.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
I saw it happen going from the U of L
Stadium to the new Stadium, the new arena, from the
old arena of the News.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
So I'm just trying to encourage people. You know, if
you get your group together, get them now.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
You're so right. We moved from Freedom Hall to the
young center of a couple people was trying to get
away from. So I did let that slack. You can't
say that, Scotty d You are the best coach.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Terry.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
We're going to talk again throughout the season. I hope
you can carve out some time and I'll try my
best to not pull you out of practice.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Why one date night you and missus minors right behind that?
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Oh that sounds like fun. I love that. Thank you, Scott,
Appreciate you boy. You're back all right. There you go,
Scott Davenport. He's not old. He's gonna have a fiftieth
high school reunion this week. Is that what he said
this week? And he was, uh, he was a boy savant,
(13:38):
that's what it was. He graduated from high school when
he is four years old. So now do the math.
You're back in a minute on news radio eight forty.
