Overview

Chapters

• 00:00 - 01:30: Introduction and Personal Musings The 'Introduction and Personal Musings' chapter serves as a prelude to the book, offering insights into the author's mindset and context as they enter the narrative. It begins with a rhetorical exploration of the author's presence, reflecting on their current state of mind and emotional resonance. This sets a personal tone, inviting readers to connect with the author's journey on a more intimate level.
• 01:30 - 15:00: Transfer Portal Criticism The chapter titled 'Transfer Portal Criticism' involves a discussion where the speaker mentions having to redo a video due to an improper title. They also note that there was another reason to redo the video, but it is not clearly articulated in the provided transcript.
• 15:00 - 19:00: South Dakota State and Team Loyalty The chapter discusses team loyalty in sports, focusing on instances of players transferring between schools. The example of Faith Blackstone is highlighted; she is moving to Rutgers, marking her fifth school transfer. There's also a mention of a mix-up regarding a game between South Carolina and Yukon.
• 19:00 - 30:00: Criticism of Coaching and Program Structure The chapter discusses the movements and transitions of a player through various basketball programs at different universities, including North Carolina, Coppen State, Syracuse, and more recently Rutgers from Stephen of Austin. The player is noted for transferring multiple times over five years while maintaining good performance even amid these changes.
• 30:00 - 48:00: Discussion of Individual Players and Teams The chapter titled 'Discussion of Individual Players and Teams' highlights the issue of transfer portal abuse in sports programs. It uses the example of Faith Blackstone, who has only stayed for one year at each school she's attended, illustrating a broader problem where programs cannot count on player consistency. The term 'portal thtting' is used to describe this phenomenon, emphasizing the challenges teams face in relying on such players.
• 48:00 - 58:00: Women's Basketball Championship Analysis A player is noted for transferring between five schools in as many seasons, reminiscent of Jasmine Massingale's frequent transfers. The discussion suggests that this pattern is part of a larger trend in women's basketball, where players frequently enter the transfer portal, imitating each other's moves. This behavior is characterized as a 'wave' or trend in the sport.
• 58:00 - 72:00: Evaluation of Team Performances This chapter discusses the various motivations behind players' performances and choices within a team. While some players participate out of passion and the drive to succeed, others are motivated by financial gains, substandard facilities, inadequate coaching, or poor treatment within their current programs. These factors influence their involvement and performance within a team setting.
• 72:00 - 87:00: Coaching and Player Development The chapter 'Coaching and Player Development' explores the trend of women leaving prestigious institutions after just a year. The brief stint at college often acts as a stepping stone towards going viral on social media, where elaborate thank-you messages are shared publicly. The focus is on how this phenomenon impacts the development and experiences of players.
• 87:00 - 90:00: Closing Remarks The chapter 'Closing Remarks' discusses the phenomenon of viral social media posts, specifically focusing on Instagram. It highlights how a woman's post gained significant attention with 30,000 likes and 500 comments, illustrating the viral nature of social media trends. The narrative suggests that many women on social media are emulating each other's content, leading to a culture of imitation and trend-following. The speaker emphasizes that this copying behavior is part of the current social media dynamics, often referred to as 'the move', 'the motion', 'the wave', 'the flow', or 'the trend'.

• 00:00 - 00:30 my presence
• 00:30 - 01:00 All right So I have to do the um the video over with because improper title and I also for whatever reason I thought
• 01:00 - 01:30 that South Carolina was playing Yukon Um but I got all of that stuff messed up I don't know what I was thinking but I have to do it over again Um but Faith Blackstone uh Stephen F Austin This will now be her fifth school that she's transferring to She's transferring to Ruckers and she was at what I believe
• 01:30 - 02:00 North Carolina ENT if I'm not mistaken Coppen State and Syracuse and just just a bunch of different uh programs she was at So now this is her fifth program So she's been in school for five years This is her fifth program transferring to Ruckers from Stephen of Austin Now obviously she averaged some good points per game and has some good
• 02:00 - 02:30 production But what I will say is that that is transfer portal abuse That is portal fotting That's not portal hopping That's portal thtting And that's what that is That's transfer portal abuse That is abuse of programs These programs can't count on Faith Blackstone She literally has not spent two seasons in anyone in any place she's been to Every single school she's been to she's only been there for one year
• 02:30 - 03:00 This is her fifth season And she's transferring from Stephen F Austin to Ruckers Five years five different schools That kind of remind me a little bit of Jasmine Massingale how she kept running through the portal as well Um you can't count on these players and like I said before this is just women copying off of each other The portal is the trend It's the wave
• 03:00 - 03:30 It's the move It's the motion It's the flow And everyone is just doing it because it's the thing to do Now obviously there are a few players who are doing it so that they can make more money Um there are a few players who are doing it because the current program they're in the facilities are pure garbage Um maybe the coaching is trash the treatment of the players could be trash right and so they just want a
• 03:30 - 04:00 better experience But for the vast majority of these women I mean these women are leaving after one year They only been in college for one year So and these women are at great institutions by the way They're leaving because it's the thing to do It helps them go viral semiviral on social media if they're able to put that stuff out there So if you notice everything is elaborate and or first I would like to thank this person and that person and I thank you for everything
• 04:00 - 04:30 you did for me chick you was only there for a few months but your IG your IG post blew up You got 30,000 likes on your IG post You got 500 comments And obviously the views are what it's supposed to be And then you put it on your IG story Your IG story blows up And this is what it is Everyone these women are copying each other They're just all copying each other It's the move It's the motion It's the wave It's the flow It's the trend
• 04:30 - 05:00 And everyone is doing it because it's the thing to do Okay it's just like a a new dance come out and everyone do the new dance A new fashion come out everyone want to wear the same thing You understand you know how when Champion people start wearing Champion and Champion is just totally bootleg flea market stuff and everyone start wearing Champion because everyone was wearing Champion right but that's how it is with this transfer portal Oh she doing it She
• 05:00 - 05:30 doing it She doing it Oh you can go viral semiviral on social media It can blow up your IG real quick Oh let me do it Right And some people are doing it because they just want to experience different environments Um I want to see a new city Oh I wonder what Florida is like Let me go to USF Ooh I always wanted to live in Miami Let me transfer to Miami Ooh I always wanted to live in in Texas and just
• 05:30 - 06:00 check out that the Dallas area Oh I always wanted to check out the Houston area Oh let me go there Oh you know I always wanted to live in New York Let me transfer to the St John's or what like this is what it is Oh I always wanted to live in Cali and let me go to one of these California schools And that's just sort of what it is It's like some people are transferring for the scenery for the different environment so they can look at the mountains right it's it's crazy
• 06:00 - 06:30 what's going on here This is coldblooded and it hurts the coaches It hurts the programs because there's no sustainability They keep resetting every year They're resetting every year This is why South Dakota State is the purest program left because no one leaves Haley Timber transferred because she's a graduate transfer She was already there for four years So Haley hit the portal because she's a graduate transfer
• 06:30 - 07:00 No one transfers from South Dakota State okay they wait their term And this is why South Dakota State every year they have upper classmen as in in their starting lineup This always upper classmen because they all wait their turn They don't receive any transfers from the portal They grow their own talent And and this why Gino said he wouldn't schedule games against South Dakota State because unless they had a
• 07:00 - 07:30 lineup full of mostly freshman because this lineup that that Aaron Johnston brings out every year these are all juniors and seniors in the whole starting five because they all wait their turn They wait their turn and while they're waiting they're perfecting their craft They're mastering their craft So when they get into the starting lineup they're juniors and seniors and everything runs like new software like a
• 07:30 - 08:00 just this amazing welloiled machine Everything is pretty much flawless And this is why South Dakota State is always winning conference championships every year And this is why they always find themselves in the NCAA tournament because there's no roster turnover Okay there's no roster turnover And that's why South Dakota State is the last true program left in women's college basketball Now my Mississippi State Bulldogs so far we haven't had anyone to jump into the portal Okay but
• 08:00 - 08:30 for most of the teams everyone is in the portal multiple players and you see women on their third team in three years You see women now going to four teams right this is what it is And this one right here with Faith Blackstone formerly of Stephen F Austin This is the most egregious that I've seen since Jasmine Asenail Okay this is the most egregious This is five years five
• 08:30 - 09:00 different schools Five years five different schools That is crazy That is total abuse That is total disregard for the sustainability of the program that you committed to because they keep having to reset every year Every year they got to reset Oh damn Faith jumped in a portal Okay we got to reset Oh Faith jumped in a portal Okay we got to reset That is wrong That is I think she should be sued
• 09:00 - 09:30 I think she's I think that's I think that's liable I think she should be sued I think there's a I wish there was a way these programs could sue some of these players abusing a portal because if you jump into the portal it has to be something so egregious with the with the program or the university for you to do that or maybe something innocent like I just wanted to be closer to home with my family so my I could see my family they
• 09:30 - 10:00 can come to my games I totally understand that But if you're just jumping in a portal because you want to see what Florida looks like or what Cali looks like or what Utah looks like or what Oregon looks like or or or what Washington looks like or what Chicago looks like or New York look like or Texas looks like and you're just jumping in a portal for the scenery to say "I live here I live there Oo I love these beaches I love these mountains." All of these things That's wrong If you're
• 10:00 - 10:30 jumping in a portal for social media clout that's wrong Okay if you're jumping in the portal because it's the move it's the motion it's the wave it's the flow it's the trend and everyone is doing it so you just want to do it that's wrong Okay that's cold blooded That's wrong If you just jumping in a portal to find more name image likeness opportunities I think that's wrong I think that's wrong I think it's cold blooded think is wrong You
• 10:30 - 11:00 understand what I'm saying and that's sort of what it is Um now some people are jumping in a portal because they want more opportunities to play I get it If that's your excuse I need more opportunities to play I want to jump in a portal so I can hoop more so I can get more minutes That's fair I totally get that Okay If you're jumping in a portal because of some Haley Van Lith um Coach Campbell uh situation that we're seeing at at TCU
• 11:00 - 11:30 and the one video where he is looking at her booty when she scored the double double when she got the double double and start crying and this is the first time I ever got a double double and she hugs him really tight and he squeeze each other and then she walk away and he starts staring at her booty and then he slaps her booty the um the game against Notre Dame and then this past game when she makes the three to go into or the mid-range shot to go into halftime he says "Come on baby." That's that was a
• 11:30 - 12:00 different kind of baby Come on baby And now he's hugging her and like that's his wife at the end of the game and she's all pressed up on him You know that's that's a that's a different situation if it's a Coach Hillsman situation right when he was at Syracuse kissing the girls on the forehead telling them f you and then hugging him and kissing him and caressing him and all That's different That's different if it's a a Cynthia Koopa situation where she's telling the women you the reason why you're playing
• 12:00 - 12:30 like that is because you need some dic like like the reason why you lazy right now or the reason why you're frustrated because you need to be effed or you need to be dic down If that's a Cynthia Cooper situation or a Cheryl Swoop situation as she was doing them women at Lyola if it's something like that and the countless other situations with women's collegiate basketball coaches over the years they've been verbally and sexually harassing and abusing some of
• 12:30 - 13:00 these women I totally get it I totally get it Go ahead and leave If you got rats and roaches all over the locker room all over the campus I get it get the hell up out of there But if it's not something like that why are you in the portal why are you in the portal why are you abusing the portal right and that's that's my issue with it That's my issue with it Right and so I just I don't respect it I don't like it But I told you guys
• 13:00 - 13:30 yesterday right in this same room right here I told you guys yesterday what would happen with Olivia Miles I told you guys I said Olivia Miles if she doesn't declare she's going to transfer so that she can go to another program and put up better numbers and get away from that ball haul Pig feet pork rind pigkin Hannah Halgo So from Notre Dame we got two
• 13:30 - 14:00 players already jumped in the portal Like they're trying to get away from Hannah Halgo right she is a flatout 1,000% ballhog and they're all trying to get away from her And I don't blame them I don't blame them Listen I made a video about the Dallas Wings um a couple months ago or maybe three months ago It probably was three months ago And I tried to break down their roster their new roster that they have now But what I will tell you is that right
• 14:00 - 14:30 now everyone is optimistic and everyone is happy and all of this stuff But what I can tell you is that Enrique Goomba is going to frustrate some of those players because she's just a ball And I think if if you're if they're not careful there's going to be some tension in the locker room Um now hopefully um Enrique learned a lesson from last season when she started to facilitate more because that was the demand from her coach So hopefully that will carry
• 14:30 - 15:00 over and she'll start passing the ball more But there's going to be some disgruntled players Okay because Enrique is a flat out ball hog and she's trying to reach bonuses We we heard about that with Joel Lloyd different incentives Um in a contract if Joel Lloyd can average 20 points or 21 points if Joel Lloyd can be in the top three and scoring Joel Lloyd would get this she would get that
• 15:00 - 15:30 And it's the same thing with Enrique So Enrique is trying to hit these bonuses by staying over 20 points a game and leading the league and scoring And so she's going to ball hole She's going to ball hole Okay And so and obviously they're all setting themselves up for even bigger contract when a new CBA gets here And so that's going to be problematic in Dallas But that's what we saw in with Notre Dame Hannah Olivia
• 15:30 - 16:00 Miles is injured last year Hannah Halgo had free reign to do whatever she wanted to do Olivia Miles gets back Hannah Halgo is like I'm not I'm not relinquishing Okay She's still going to be Hannah and still going to ball hog And Olivia Miles there was so many opportunities for where Olivia Miles could have really had more of an impact during the season but because Hannah Halogo was
• 16:00 - 16:30 ball hoging you didn't get to see that And nothing would change this upcoming season if Olivia Miles stayed Hannah Hodalgo was going to ball hog even more Okay and so Olivia Miles needed to go She needed to breathe Okay And it'll get to a point where depending on where she goes Olivia Miles can be averaging anywhere from 18 to 23 and getting you anywhere from 8 to 10
• 16:30 - 17:00 assists a game And because she wants to be number one overall she wants to be the number one overall pick Okay but she needs the numbers to really back that up and she needs freedom and playing with Hannah Halgo is not going to give her those opportunities Okay if you have a ball hog a pork rind a pig feet on your team you need to leave Okay if first talk to the coaches in the ad and say "I
• 17:00 - 17:30 didn't commit to this university for this I need opportunities and I'm before I jump in that portal I want to ask you to increase my minutes per game and to increase my touches I want more opportunities Hannah Halgo is not passing this basketball enough It seems like she's only thinking about herself Okay or whatever team you're on if you have a ball hog first go to the coaches and go to the AD and let them know And if nothing changes then I understand
• 17:30 - 18:00 when you got to hit that portal up because some people aren't just in college for a degree Some of these women want to be the very best They want to be in the Hall of Fame in a women's basketball hall of fame one day right their their universities hall of fame women's basketball hall of fame Some of these women want to put up legendary numbers where they could be top five in something or in multiple things Okay this is what they want Some
• 18:00 - 18:30 of these women want to be first round draft picks This is what they want This is one of the reasons why Makia Herbert Herrian Mad Kiki Kiki from South Carolina this is why she told Don Staley she was going to transfer because she said "I want to be a first round draft pick She needed more opportunity to score and she needed Don Staley to improve her game to make her more versatile Don Staley was afraid because South Carolina don't win those games
• 18:30 - 19:00 without Kiki And so Don Staley had a come to Jesus meeting with Kiki and her family and said "What do you want?" And she said "I want to be a firstround WNBA draft pick." Okay And Don Staley said "We're going to make your dreams come true." And that's when Don Staley came out and said "I'm I'm a dream merchant I'm a dream merchant." Before Dawn ever said that she started saying "I'm a dream merchant I'm a dream merchant." Because she was about to lose Makia
• 19:00 - 19:30 Herbert Herrian Okay right She was going to lose her She wasn't giving her enough minutes and she wasn't giving her enough touches Okay and after that Makia everything stepped up for Makia and she was drafted in the first round And Dawn had to learn that it's more than just about Dawn and her system These players have dreams They have aspirations And it's not to be on the bench to be some role player Like getting a degree is great
• 19:30 - 20:00 but I want to achieve other things in basketball I want to be known as one of the greatest of all time Okay and I'm not going to be known as that if I'm on a team with Hannah Halgo Right now I wouldn't mind being on the team with Hannah Halgo if I wanted to be known as someone who's the greatest facilitator ever and I led NCAA in assists every year and I broke assist records I'm fine playing with Hannah
• 20:00 - 20:30 Hogo if that's the case Or if I wanted to be the greatest rebounder if I wanted to be one of the greatest shot blockers or one of the greatest that's stealing the basketball just one of the greatest on ball defenders then sure I don't mind playing with Hannah because my aspiration my goal at the end of it all is to be known as one of the greatest defenders of all time I don't have the issue playing with a ball hog if if my goal is on the defensive side or if my goal is to be the greatest facilitator
• 20:30 - 21:00 ever I averaged the most assist in women's collegiate basketball history right i don't have an issue playing with Hannah But if my goal is to be a top 10 scorer of all time I got an issue playing with Hannah Also if my goal is to make it into the first round of the WMA draft I got an issue with Hannah I got an issue with Hannah You understand what I'm saying now you could say "Well what about Sonia Citron?" Well Sonia Citron isn't really technically necessarily making it for her offense
• 21:00 - 21:30 She's making it because of her defense She's a she's a damn good two-way player a three and D player and that's why she's making it But there's a lot of other women where they have big dreams y'all and they didn't come to these programs to sit on the bench to average five minutes or seven minutes to be like Jada Jim and be a cheerleader Okay they don't want to be Jada Jim They don't want to be a cheerleader They want to be in the game They want to be in the game you guys And that's a problem
• 21:30 - 22:00 So like we're seeing these things I think the portal is out of control I don't know what's going on on the men's side I don't focus on the men's side I don't care about men's basketball I haven't watched it for 9 years I care about women's basketball And this is 1,000% transfer portal botting This is 1,00% transfer portal abuse and it needs to stop They need to figure something out Listen um it wouldn't surprise me
• 22:00 - 22:30 behind the scenes if someone someone with a lot of influence went to Donald Trump and asked Donald Trump to put a stop to it right and it's got to come from the football side because the football pays everyone's bills So it's got to come from someone It's got to come from Kirby It's got to come from um from Riley It's got to come from one of these major coaches
• 22:30 - 23:00 um on the football side who are feeling the negative impact of the of the transfer portal and for Donald Trump to make just sweeping changes and to say this is an executive order whatever get with get with the the NCAA president have a conversation with him and put some limitations on these on his transfer portal abuse Okay put some limitations on it I don't like Donald
• 23:00 - 23:30 Trump but I do think that it's got to come from him It's got to come from Donald Trump or it's only going to get worse and worse and worse and worse and worse It'll never get better It'll never get better This this is worse than what it was last year And last year was worse than what it was the year before that Like this portal stuff is out of control And what people fail to realize what the the heads the head honchos what they
• 23:30 - 24:00 failed to realize is that this is a culture of copycats This is a culture of clones This is a culture of wannabes who want to be wannabes of followers following followers This is a culture of attention of views of likes of engagement Okay this is that culture right and they're going to do what everyone else is doing and they have no good reason to be doing
• 24:00 - 24:30 it right why are you transferring we have great locker rooms We have a damn good arena Our ac our academics is fine like our campus life is great Why are you transferring and they can't tell you why Because some of these players transferring they're getting good minutes They're putting up decent points Why are you transferring oh because I always wanted to live in Los Angeles They'll never say that but that's what it is I wanted to go to Venice Beach Oh because I always wanted to live
• 24:30 - 25:00 in Miami I want to go to South Beach Like that's what it is And so some of these women are transferring for selfish vain superficial reasons and it hurts the program That's just women's basketball I'm sure on the men's side it's egregious And I'm sure in in football which I know in football it's egregious Okay it's just completely out of control And so it's got to be someone with a lot of power influence who has
• 25:00 - 25:30 Donald Trump's ear and they got to get with Trump Just like Kid Rock yesterday went to Donald Trump in the Oval Office and asked Donald Trump and he signed an executive order He's about to put a stop um to all of this price gouging on these tickets and uh these websites letting bots buy up all the tickets and all of this other stuff like like Donald Trump is putting an end to it He did that yesterday with Kid Rock so that the
• 25:30 - 26:00 artists can make more of that ticket money and they could stop pricing out the fans and it's really a lot of bots um and some sketchy people uh pricing out fans with these tickets and it's hurting the attendance number at some of these concerts Okay And so Kid Rock I don't like Kid Rock I think he's a closeted racist He's a cultural appropriator Um but what he spoke yesterday was the God's honest truth That's coldblooded and Donald Trump did
• 26:00 - 26:30 something about it I do not like Donald Trump but there are some things he's doing that I don't mind but there's like a thousand other things he's doing that I hate Okay I didn't like Joe Biden but there was a couple things Joe Biden did I thought that was right but there was a thousand things Joe Biden did that I didn't like So um that's just sort of where I'm at with that So I think they're going to have to go to Donald Trump and they're going to have to straight up say "Donald Trump like we need help This is this is cold
• 26:30 - 27:00 bloodooded." And I hope they show Faith Blackstone's image to Donald Trump And I hope they show five years five different programs and there was no reason for her to ever transfer because she was a starter putting up damn good numbers Why in the hell are you transferring why are you transferring because everyone else is doing it Okay now Jada Williams entered the transfer portal from Arizona I don't understand why Jada
• 27:00 - 27:30 Williams is transferring when Adia Barnes had her back Even though Adia Barnes should have bench should have benched Jada Williams her freshman year her sophomore year she got a little bit better but she was terrible in a lot of these games Jada Williams why are you entering a transfer portal you can't blame Adia Barnes for you breaking all of those threes for you turning the ball over for you breaking these mid-range shots for you blowing these and smoking these layups You cannot blame Adia Barnes for
• 27:30 - 28:00 that Jada You can't Now listen did Adia Barnes put a foot in her mouth at the post press conference from the women's basketball invitational um WBIT did she put a foot in her mouth when she kind of just put the blame on the players for why they lost and she said "Listen they didn't want to play They didn't want to be here." And she said "I knew it when we first when we first got here that they didn't want to win this tournament." She said "I knew it just looking at their body language." She said "And that's on the players." Now she should have never said that That's a
• 28:00 - 28:30 cardinal sin She should have never said that But what she was trying to say was man these players been apathetic the whole season Now Jada was playing her heart out But Jada is like Deja Kelly She's just inefficient She be just breaking and clanking Clanking shots threes mitties layups you name it That's Jada Williams Okay
• 28:30 - 29:00 Yeah that's Jada Williams And so it was just one of those things So I don't understand why she jumped in a portal I just don't understand why she jumped in a portal to me That's just crazy But that's what's going on That's what's going on man Some people are chasing money Other people are doing it because it's the thing to do and everyone else is doing it Some people doing it for social media social media clout Other people are doing it because they always wanted to live in a new city and to
• 29:00 - 29:30 experience new things Like it's it's different reasons but the main reasons are the egregious reasons And these players are selfish and they're inconsiderate and they're not thinking about these programs Okay and that's that's a major problem And this is why this is why Carl Coach Carl of the Atlanta Dream called Semeco this the reason why he brought over his former assistants at
• 29:30 - 30:00 Florida Golf Coast University and they decided to come over because you got players from Florida Golf Coast University jumped in a portal Okay And so it's just like why should I stay here and coach when it's a rebuild every year now like I said before it doesn't matter to Don Staley cuz Don Staley is making tens of millions of dollars So that's something Don Staley can put up with Kim Moy is making tens of millions of dollars She's
• 30:00 - 30:30 fine Gino like you got these coach you have these coaches who are making tons of money So they're gonna stick it out But you got these you have some of these other coaches who are making just $200,000 annually in a D coaching the D1 program Um Coach Aaron Johnston from South Dakota State he's going to the Hall of Fame He only makes 300 $33,000 annually $33,000 annually and
• 30:30 - 31:00 he's going into the Hall of Fame but that's all he makes Okay it's coaches who don't have his record who don't have his resume They're making $150,000 a year or 200 250,000 Okay and so that's kind of wild I mean listen Erica Wheeler is making more than some of these coaches off of her salary last year with the Indiana Fever $444,000 over two years You understand
• 31:00 - 31:30 that chick was bringing in $222,000 a year And Erica Wheeler is a flatout bench player That's who she is And she made $444,000 over two years Erica Wheeler she was making more than a lot of these D1 coaches and and some of these these major mid majors And this is what it is right and but yet these coaches only making $200,000 a year or
• 31:30 - 32:00 $170,000 a year They have to find a way to rebuild every year because everyone is jumping in the portal Portal foding portal thoding portal thoding portal thoding That is abuse It is wrong y'all It is absolutely wrong And some of you will say "Well $200,000 a year isn't bad $250,000 a year isn't bad." Technically it isn't But with inflation and the rising cost of everything and Donald
• 32:00 - 32:30 Trump with all of these tariffs and you got these trade wars going on right listen the mortgage and all of the different expenses and the they have kids in school and private schools and all of these other things going on that that money goes away really quick and it's not like it's not what you think it is It's not what you think it is Okay and this is for a lot of sleepless nights A these coaches they don't really get a lot of sleep Especially the
• 32:30 - 33:00 coaches who have family who have children they don't really get a lot of sleep because they're studying film all of the time okay doing practices and dealing with logistics and flights and just they got to look at the grades and making sure they're doing right in school And they got to deal with these kid these young women's mental health They got to be their psychiatrist their therapist their doctor the their their
• 33:00 - 33:30 mother Like they have to be all of these different things to these young women on on top of just being a coach and scouting these other teams and coming up with different game plans and schemes and all of the and and knowing how to talk to each individual player differently okay and to make them feel safe and to make them feel seen and to make them feel important And that's difficult when these young women are addicted to social
• 33:30 - 34:00 media and they say "I don't pay attention to social media." But they do pay attention to social media And so their mind is all over the place And then you're afraid to coach these Yeah You're you're afraid to coach these young women hard Okay because you don't know whether or not they're going to leave right so it's it's it's like okay should I should I say this to her should I do this should I say this
• 34:00 - 34:30 because if I do if I do she's going to jump in the portal She's going to jump in the portal So I can't coach her hard there Like I want to I want to bench her but if I bench her just to teach her a lesson to instill some discipline right to set culture she's going to leave she's going to jump in a portal And so what these coaches are doing these coaches are they work for the players The players don't work for them These coaches work for the players The players are leading some of these
• 34:30 - 35:00 coaches These coaches aren't leading these players because these coaches are afraid to coach hard And when you coach hard that doesn't mean you have to use profanity What that means is that you have to set a culture You have to set a standard Okay you have to set a bar and this is this is what it is This is the standard This is the culture I'm trying to set If you commit a certain amount of turnovers I got to sit you down and put
• 35:00 - 35:30 someone else in And then I'm going to go over what you did wrong Okay Kind of sharp just to just to get the message across because this is something that is habitual right i'm not going to cuss at you or anything like that I'm just going to explain it to you in a in a clear stern way so you can get the picture and that way you can see the bigger picture what we're trying to do collectively as a team as a unit And these players they
• 35:30 - 36:00 don't want to hear that They don't want to hear it She wouldn't let me try all of these crazy Marines Johannes Caitlyn Clark Chelsea Gray passes I'm out of here Well I don't have an issue with you trying attempting these passes You just been turning the ball over crazy the last seven games attempting these passes right like I got to sit you down for a little bit to set a standard You didn't like that I set you down and you jumped in the portal That's a problem That's a
• 36:00 - 36:30 huge huge problem You keep going for steals unnecessary steals getting reachin fouls putting us into the penalty You're one of our best scorers now you have to go on the bench but you're trying to get all of these deals cuz you're trying to find a way to get a name image likeness deal based off of the you're being a two-way player and who who knows what endorsement you're trying to reach So you're a better offensive player than a defensive player You're trying too much on defense You're getting caught out of positions You're taking the wrong angles All of these
• 36:30 - 37:00 other different things you're jumping the passing lanes too much and leaving us naked on the back end leaving us exposed because you're trying to be a two-way player so you can look more impressive so you can get endorsement deals right like you're going after too many rebounds and you're taking rebounds away from your teammates and several times you you trying to grab a rebound from your teammate and it went out of bounds and caused a turnover Caused a turnover You're trying to block every
• 37:00 - 37:30 single shot in the world and you're getting caught up with all of these fouls and it's hurting us because you're trying to get a name image likeness deal with all of these block shots Like this is what it is And so these coaches they used to say "Cut it out Stop it What are you doing?" It's hard for them to say that because they do not want to lose these players to the portal And so the culture is now weak in women's collegiate basketball The fundamentals is off These women don't want to run suicides and monsters win sprints the
• 37:30 - 38:00 way they used to These women don't want to work out the way they used to These women don't want to adhere to different curfews They don't care about the strictctures put in place These women just don't care These young women okay and this is what it is They want to do whatever they want to do They want to be on TikTok as often as they can There's nothing wrong with you living your life okay but priorities come first And it seems to me that you're valuing Tik Tok
• 38:00 - 38:30 social media partying and your friends more than you're valuing your teammates and the team Okay and there in lies the problem Like you you're doing too much You are doing way too much And so they can't coach him the right way because they're they're afraid They are flat out afraid They are 1,000% afraid You understand and that's the problem That's the problem So anyway that's the deal
• 38:30 - 39:00 with the transfer reporter y'all It's a It's a It's disgusting And I I hope Donald Trump does something about it because so far the NCAA they're not doing anything about it And it's it's got to come from Donald Trump I know people are like "Oh now now you want Donald Trump to help?" Yeah I don't like that dude But Donald we need your help Like seriously I don't like Donald Trump just like I didn't like Joe Biden But we need your help
• 39:00 - 39:30 because this is flatout abuse This is abuse and some of these some of these some of this stuff Listen I I'm I'm done I'm done Okay let me let me get to why I feel that they messed this whole thing up They messed this whole thing up somehow I feel that it should have been it should have been te it should
• 39:30 - 40:00 have been Texas versus UCLA Yukon versus South Carolina in the Final Four And in a national championship game should be between Yukon and UCLA Okay So they got this thing all messed up And I say that because we've been we've been let down this year with women's college basketball It's just
• 40:00 - 40:30 been bad bad basketball And I've been watching women's basketball since my physical body was 13 years of age This is the worst that I can remember seeing it in quite some time In quite some time I I'm I'm trying to rack my brain to think about the last time I saw women's collegiate basketball look this bad And I got to go back to the early years when the skill set wasn't what it is
• 40:30 - 41:00 today Okay so this is just bad basketball And I called this out three years ago when I said "Listen everyone wants to talk about what's going to happen this year I want to talk about the coaches and their assistance and player development and how bad it is And I brought that up Okay and so what I'm telling you right now this is terrible basketball And we deserve a great national championship game where there's efficiency on top of having good defense
• 41:00 - 41:30 We deserve to look at something professional the next the next best thing to professional basketball in the national championship game is UCLA versus Yukon But that's not gonna happen because we got to have Texas versus South Carolina Yukon versus UCLA and then it's going to be Yukon versus Texas in a national championship game or UCLA and South Carolina And that's no fun
• 41:30 - 42:00 That's no fun Why because South Carolina is too inconsistent on the offensive end and it often looks ugly Okay Tahena Pow Pow isn't catching everyone offguard like she did last year She's not the same Tahena And I don't know why they have her going in the first round I just don't know Right Even AZ FU doesn't deserve to be a first round pick I'm just being honest But she's not coming out of college But Tahina Pow Pow is not
• 42:00 - 42:30 the same Tahena Tess Johnson is not the same Tess we saw last year She's in her own head Okay she's in her own head So this isn't the same Tess and she's not catching everyone off guard because she was a freshman Okay this isn't Tahena that we saw last year And listen Joyce Edwards is underperforming the last few games she's been underperforming So we haven't seen the
• 42:30 - 43:00 best Joyce Edwards Um they don't have Camila Cardardosa like Raven is who Raven is She's going to do her best to protect the basketball and run the offense and play good defense but she's a brick machine She's a clank machine She's going to clank clank clank clank clank That's who she is You can't trust her shooting the basketball You can trust her to run the offense you can trust her to play some damn good defense is to give it her all but she's a clank master
• 43:00 - 43:30 and so you like it's just bad It's just the only one There's only two people you can truly count on if we're being complete And that's if Malaysia for wei decides to be efficient cuz her issue is inconsistent inconsistencies right so we need Malaysia for we to be consistent consistent consistently efficient But that's not who she is Okay
• 43:30 - 44:00 she's kind of up and down up and down up and down The only one who's consistent is Khloe Kits Okay you know it's like seven times out of ten she's gonna get you a double double and it's it's probably going to be a very efficient double double Okay Now yeah listen she has a lot of room to grow She needs a better handle a better dribbling package a better ball handling package so she can create more shots and create
• 44:00 - 44:30 more space She needs to be able to shoot three-point shots better But everything else Khloe is solid She's solid So we know what we're going to get from Khloe And then I trust Malaysia more than I trust anyone else outside of Khloe right and then listen I I can make a case for Brie Hall I can make a case for her Okay so we'll see We'll see She needs to put up big numbers I can make a case for Bri Um uh I can make a case for Sayia Fagan
• 44:30 - 45:00 a little bit but the two the main two that who you know is going to bring it night in and night out is Khloe Kits and Malaysia Fali when Malaysia Fali decides to be consistent The third one I would say is Brie Hall and then everyone else comes after her Right But with Yukon Yukon is a welled machine They are this new software that's just totally ahead
• 45:00 - 45:30 of a ahead of its time ahead of the curve They're a welloiled machine Yukon on offense and defense And they're very efficient Okay And it's beautiful to watch It's beautiful X's and O's It's beautiful adjustment It's beautiful motivation It's just beautiful to watch on all fronts Okay With Texas what are you going to get with Texas great defense boring offense Clank clank clank clank clank You better hope Madison uh Madison is on
• 45:30 - 46:00 Okay Or it's just clank clank clank clank clank Rory Harmon Clank clank clank clank clank Everyone just clanking Okay And so they might only put up 40 points or they might only put up 52 points That's Texas Now defense they they're phenomenal offense clank machines at the end of the game you might see 50 54 points that's bad basketball and then you look at team
• 46:00 - 46:30 scoring team shooting percentage field goal percentage for Texas 38% Okay 38% or maybe 36% You look at the three-point percentage as a team 29% 28% Right that's Texas No one wants to see that No one wants to see that So no one wants to see Texas versus Yukon okay or Texas versus UCLA Because what you're going to get from UCLA is
• 46:30 - 47:00 what efficiency right high quality basketball on both ends You just got to hope Kiki Rice isn't off on offense but just high quality basketball on both ends And their superstar is polished She's pro ready and she's going to look like a pro out there And then Corey Cloves is going to give you great adjustments great X's and O's present a great game plan okay
• 47:00 - 47:30 she's a freaking doctor out there And and that's what you're going to get You're going to get sophistication And women's basketball has not looked sophisticated this year It just hasn't And we need sophistication We need luxury Okay we need luxury So when I read you guys that poem that I just made literally right when I before I decided to make that video saying that we need luxury and sophistication and and not
• 47:30 - 48:00 only women's collegiate basketball but the WNBA Okay And I gave you some examples And one of the examples I sort of freestyled it And one of the examples was your your hands your hands on me they feel like a beautiful love letter right like just different things like that your your hands when they touch me they're writing a romantic
• 48:00 - 48:30 novel that you know all of these different things Like that's beautiful I don't quite remember at all because I literally freestyled it I'm not lying to you I literally freestyled that And so like that's what it is That's beautiful That's beautiful right that's luxury That's sophistication When your hands touch me it it it feels like beautiful handwriting this romantic novel right like that's what it is Your hands on me
• 48:30 - 49:00 they feel like a beautiful love letter And then I switched it up to be more current more modern When you look at me it feels like a billion views When you touch me it feels like 30,000 likes and 40,000 re-shares Right so I brought it I gave you something classic and then I gave you something modern When you touch me it feels like a beautiful love letter right then I gave you something
• 49:00 - 49:30 modern cuz when you look at me it feels like a billion views right like that's luxury That's sophistication That's poetry And that was freestyle by the way Okay that was freestyle What we're getting from women's collegiate basketball this season is not luxury It's not sophisticated It's not beautiful Okay But we have two teams left where we will get luxury Well we
• 49:30 - 50:00 will get sophistication Okay And that's UCLA and Yukon But they can't meet up in a national championship game because they had an NCAA played it to make sure that they can have a Yukon and USC matchup and all of this other BS And that's the way they wanted to play it And it's it's coldblooded the way it happened It it's not good It's just not good And so now we're going to end up getting a Yukon versus Texas
• 50:00 - 50:30 or a Yukon versus South Carolina or UCLA versus South Carolina or UCLA versus Texas And it's just that's just not good That that just isn't good Okay you like now if Texas plays Yukon they're gonna Excuse me If Texas plays UCLA they're gonna like try to suffocate UCLA and all of this other stuff Try to make
• 50:30 - 51:00 it a lowcoring game and all of this other BS and it's going to turn out to be a ugly game or whatever No one wants to watch that man The ratings the ratings aren't really all that great right i know Sweet 16 some of the game the games averaged a little over a million but in a country where there's over 330 plus Americans like that's not impressive Okay Um so I'm not sure what the Elite 8 numbers
• 51:00 - 51:30 are going to look like Um I don't think they're going to be great either cuz the there was some bad basketball in the Elite 8 So I don't think those numbers will be great Obviously they'll be over a million but it's still not impressive We needed to see those numbers be in like over 3 million That's impressive So if the Sweet 16 numbers was over was 3 mil that's impressive If the Elite 8 numbers is over 3 million 4 million that's impressive But you're talking about Elite 8 just over a
• 51:30 - 52:00 million like the Sweet 16 that's just not impressive Okay and women women have to women have to stop accepting crumbs Okay right they have to stop accepting participation trophies little moral victories Ooh based on where you came from This is progress women Yeah we're having a moment when this is supposed to be a movement It's supposed to be a revolution Okay Yeah we're having a
• 52:00 - 52:30 moment you know Yay Like can you remember where we were two years ago 3 years ago this is a moment Like no No stop accepting crimes The sweet 16 should have averaged 3 million The Elite 8 should have averaged over 3 million 4 million Okay if the Elite 8 average is just over a million like the Sweet 16 that's not growth That's not impressive Not to me Those those are participation
• 52:30 - 53:00 trophies Those are that's moral victories That's crumbs Okay Yay women The plight The plight We're almost there We're We're breaking that glass ceiling We're putting more cracks in that glass ceiling You should be tired of hearing that Like enough is enough And part of the problem is the lack of sophistication in women's basketball because these coaches have tried to copy off the men's game
• 53:00 - 53:30 especially in the NBA And it's just too much of this crossover ISO five out motion transition pace and space Golden State Warriors basketball It's too much of it And and the coaches can't coach hard anymore and letting a superstar player do whatever she want to do or she's going to jump in a portal And so it's it no one really cares about developing bigs anymore Okay it's just
• 53:30 - 54:00 bad y'all that these coaches are just fixed to just their system and because that's how they they feel that they're going to keep a job and the player development is bad right you're seeing a lot of players with poor fundamentals and just not a lot of counter moves The skill is bad and it's like when you see Lauren Betts it's a breath of fresh air right when you see Paige Becker she's a breath of fresh air Like thank God Sarah's strong mother played professional basketball and so too did
• 54:00 - 54:30 her dad because they gave her a a skillful sophisticated kind of game She still got more work to do but a lot of that stuff came from Sarah Sarah Strong's family and putting her with with the best development development coaches that they could find while developing her themselves Okay But no all of these players aren't fortunate to have parents who play professional basketball like
• 54:30 - 55:00 Sarah Strong Okay And so that's just sort of what it is And when you look across the board it's just it's really bad basketball It's really bad basketball And like I said before I just feel that I just feel that there it's not going to happen We're not going to get a UCLA Yukon National Championship game But man I wish that were that was possible I really do because now we're going to be stuck with Yukon versus
• 55:00 - 55:30 Texas That's going to be boring Okay And the only bright spot is probably going to be Paige If Paige can get 30 on Texas that's impressive as hell Okay Um so because Texas are going to try to make it dirty and try to make Paige only get 18 points that game and they feel that they can win if they can get her 18 and somehow only allow Sarah Strong to get 11 If they can make Sarah Strong only score 11 and hold Paige to 18 points and
• 55:30 - 56:00 AZ Fud has been inconsistent the last few games breaking the threes then they feel that they probably stand a good chance of winning that game Okay Texas playing Yukon because if Texas can hold Yukon if if Texas can keep both teams in the 50s Texas feel that they're going to end up winning that game okay in a national championship game which means it's going to be ugly basketball Now you could say "Well I don't mind that because I love
• 56:00 - 56:30 defense." What I'm saying is that we deserve better than that We deserve good defense and good offense And that's only going to come with a Yukon and UCLA matchup right but that's impossible this season That's impossible this year So we're going to be stuck with a muck it up dirty it up muddy it up game that's going to be boring It It just is It's going to be boring to watch Okay and it's the same situation if it's Yukon
• 56:30 - 57:00 and South Carolina because Yukon is going to put up massive numbers on South Carolina okay if South Carolina can't just play lock down defense and you're going to look at South Carolina and it's probably going to be a lot of bricks all over the place a lot of clanks and some just inefficient players I mean unless somehow South Carolina just brings it that game and everyone is just super efficient it's possible What I'm just saying just based off of what we've been seeing
• 57:00 - 57:30 lately that's kind of far-fetched right like I'm I'm not too sure about that if that's if that's practical So if if we if we're going to get the South Carolina we've been seeing the last few games where they haven't really looked impressive on offense outside of a couple players couple of players then Yukon is going to look far superior And it'll be great basketball to watch to see Paige and Yukon just score a bunch of points and look really good doing it
• 57:30 - 58:00 But overall it's not a competitive matchup South Carolina lost the national championship game to Yukon by 15 or 20 right whatever Like come on Like you deserve better than that You deserve better than that UCLA play South Carolina I think that game would be much close closer but they don't have anyone who can stop Lauren Betts The best thing that they could try to do is get Lauren Betts in early foul trouble That's their best bet But they don't have anyone that can stop Lauren Betts And so what zone
• 58:00 - 58:30 is she going to run is she going to be in a two-3 zone is she going to be in a triangle into right like what zone is she going to run to stop Lauren Betts okay And Lauren Betts is still going to freaking barbecue like deep fry She's going to freaking deep fry those chicks and it's it's going to be ugly Okay And then if Kiki Rice is on and everyone is just on right it's it's just not going to look good It just It's
• 58:30 - 59:00 not going to look good Okay It's not going to look good for South Carolina So all I'm saying is like it should have been Yukon and UCLA Should have been Yukon and UCLA y'all You understand it really or Yeah I'm just being honest And right now we're going to be stuck with South Carolina and UCLA or South Carolina and Yukon or Texas UCLA or Texas Yukon
• 59:00 - 59:30 And I would rather see South Carolina versus Yukon or UCLA than Texas at all I'm hoping South Carolina beats Texas because they make me want to vomit I do not like Vic Schaefer anymore and he was my former coach at Mississippi State I don't like him anymore I never liked his offense So I was sort of happy that he left Mississippi State cuz I did want us to get a more modern fun exciting more
• 59:30 - 60:00 free flowing offense And we were never going to get that with Vic Schaefer So although he left to protect his daughter Blair Schaefer okay and I got major source on this and I've been telling y'all about this for years why he had to leave Mississippi State to protect his daughter Blair Schaefer Um and that's that's what it was So it was egregious But anyway he leaves but I'm kind of happy he left because we get to get an
• 60:00 - 60:30 exciting offense Okay Now I don't want Vic Schaer in a national championship game because he's boring The defense is great The offense sucks and I'm sick of it So I don't want him there I want the casuals the noviceses the hardcore fans I want them to see good high quality sophisticated luxurious basketball We shouldn't have to see ugly monstrosity albatross blighted
• 60:30 - 61:00 basketball You deserve better than that Women's basketball should be better than that than to give us a Texas national championship game You should be better than that Okay and that that's all I'm saying And Don Staley is winning ugly This what what we've been getting from it was beautiful last year with Don Staley This isn't beautiful This is ugly Dirty it up Uh scrap out a win
• 61:00 - 61:30 Scratch and claw a win A win This season with Don Staley it should be titled A Win is a win That describes this season with Don Staylor That encapsulates all of this Okay a win is a win That perfectly describes this season with Don Staylor A win is a win Especially in a tournament a win is a win because that's what we've been seeing from Don Staylor this year A win is a win A win is a win Women's
• 61:30 - 62:00 basketball deserves better than that right it they deserve it deserves better than that Okay And so oh gosh Hurry up Don and beat Vic Schaer like you always do Go ahead and beat him up because I would rather Don Staley in the Gamecooxs international championship game over Vic Schaer and the Longhorns any day So please get this over with Don and destroy Vic Schaefer real quick And I
• 62:00 - 62:30 would say it would the game to watch if you want to watch just some sort of balance um where the game would be competitive It it would be South Carolina versus UCLA right verse instead of South Carolina vers Yukon because listen I don't want to be disrespectful to Dawn but I mean Yukon destroyed
• 62:30 - 63:00 them Yukon destroyed them earlier on So and Paige Beckers is even more efficient than what she was then And so I'm a bit concern I'm like I'm like I don't know Don I'm not sure because your team they've been playing kind of like a win is a win scratching and clawing out victories While Yukon they just been having fun man They look relaxed and free and they're just having fun And Paige is super efficient and dropping 30
• 63:00 - 63:30 points like it's nothing And so Gino is looking like the old Gino Gino was looking like the 2015 Gino He's looking like the 2016 Gino The 2014 Gino Like he's just looking relaxed Okay that's how Gino was looking And so he's looking like the old Gino He just need to lose a little bit weight and do some um what's that hair dye stuff just for men or whatever put a
• 63:30 - 64:00 little bit of that to keep a little bit of the salt and pepper going on but still add a little more pepper to the salt Go ahead and do just for men with your hair Lose a little bit of that weight You understand and Gino is going to look like the 2012 2013 2014 Gino Okay this is a a completely different Yukon team from what we're seeing Now listen if anyone
• 64:00 - 64:30 can beat Gino it's Don Staley Don Staley can figure it out The team is like loaded with nothing but five stars and four stars right mostly So they they can have a game where they're clicking on both ends It's like wow South Carolina finally got out of that freaking rut Wow Oh wow This South Carolina looks amazing Tess is making all of her threes again Oh my gosh they left Tahina wide open
• 64:30 - 65:00 Pow pow You know how boss would be going pow pow pow Like this is pow pow Like oh my gosh we got that pow pow back Oh wow Like this is great They can't stop Malaysia She's doing all kind of reverse jellies on them Oh my gosh This is great This is freaking utopia This is ecstasy Like it's if if that happens it can happen And then he could Don will spoil Gino and Gino and Yukon will never rise
• 65:00 - 65:30 ever again Like keep beating that devil down right don could do that I'm not going to put that past her She can seriously do that Okay Raven is looking like the Raven who played at any Iverson Classic game or whatever and the high school Raven when she was dropping numbers on these people like "Oh my gosh we got the high school Raven where she's scoring all of these points That's phenomenal right?" Like it it can end up being something like that It can end up being something What I'm just telling you is
• 65:30 - 66:00 is that is that pragmatic right is that practical is that realistic you never know What we do know is that lately Yukon has been amazing software welded machine Dawn and South Carolina They've been in a rut They've been on a struggle bus and their whole season is at least
• 66:00 - 66:30 at least in this tournament a win is a win That's the way they've been playing lately as a win is a win And if you're talk about a win is a win versus this highly sophisticated Marvel feat of software technology which is Yukon versus a win is a win I think I'm going to go with this weld oil machine versus a win is a win
• 66:30 - 67:00 Right And and that's just the way it's been That's just the way it's been And so but listen I would rather see Don Staley in South Carolina versus UCLA or Yukon than Texas any day Let's just get Texas out of there Texas needs to go Let's get Texas out of there They're boring y'all They're a freaking snoozefest Let's get them up out of there and let's focus on South Carolina versus Yukon or South
• 67:00 - 67:30 Carolina versus UCLA And I think the better matchup the more entertaining national championship game would be and I'm just speaking about if South Carolina well I think they'll beat Texas I hope they do I think the more interesting and more entertaining game would be South Carolina versus UCLA Okay I I just do because the first matchup even though UCLA won it wasn't as bad as people
• 67:30 - 68:00 think Yukon just destroyed South Carolina But I think that I really do I think that the more competitive entertaining matchup is South Carolina UCLA I just really do I really do Um I think if South Carolina plays Yukon and Yukon is still this efficient beast and Don Staley team is scratch and claw win is a win I I think she gets clipped I think I think she gets clipped
• 68:00 - 68:30 And no one outside of Yukon fans really want to see Gino back on top Okay Right No one really wants to see that if you're not a Yukon fan If Gino wins then I guess the dark cloud and the curse is back over women's basketball where Yukon is dominating year in and year out and Gino goes on another 111 game winning streak and win all of these championships and all of the five stars
• 68:30 - 69:00 are running a Yukon again and they get all all of the best ones like they got Sarah Strong and they get the very best of the very best all over again and Yukon is this dominant force over women's basketball yet again winning all championships No one wants to see that if you're not a Yukon fan And the And so what I'm telling you is that I think that to stop that UCLA needs to beat Yukon It's going to be
• 69:00 - 69:30 extremely difficult to do that but UCLA needs to beat Yukon And then I think that South Carolina will play a great game against UCLA And I think it'll be a competitive fun game to watch But if if Don Staley goes up against Yukon in a natty and Yukon is this efficient beast again and Don Staley is still a win is a win Um I I think it's going to be a boring game unless you're a Yukon fan and Yukon rises once again and there I think Gino
• 69:30 - 70:00 is going to learn his lesson and he's going to rack up every five star imaginable and it is like once again Yukon reigns supreme over women's basketball once again right and that's that's just what it is So I'm looking forward to a South Carolina UCLA national championship game And I'm only speaking about just a better game to watch Okay that's all The best game to
• 70:00 - 70:30 watch would have been UCLA and Yukon if that was possible If that were possible but it's not So we have to settle and I don't mean this in any disrespectful way but we got to settle for a South Carolina versus US UCLA versus Yukon matchup And if that's going to be the case I would rather see South Carolina in a natty than Texas in a natty And I would rather see South Carolina play UCLA because there's more balance Okay it'll be a very competitive
• 70:30 - 71:00 entertaining game okay versus South Carolina versus Yukon Because if Yukon is still this efficient beast Yukon is probably going to clip South Carolina and they might beat them by 20 Okay and that's a problem And that's bad for women's basketball Why is it bad for women's basketball because the noviceses and casuals especially if Dawn and them only put up like 60 points and Yukon puts up like 85 or something 87 Like that's bad
• 71:00 - 71:30 y'all That's bad That's bad That's a bad watch Cuz you got to remember noviceses turn into casuals and casuals turn into hardcore fans And that's what you need And so you'll look two years down the line down the road and the Sweet 16 is averaging 3 mil The Elite 8 is averaging four mil The Final Four is averaging 4.8 mil or 5 mil or 6 mil The Natty is
• 71:30 - 72:00 averaging seven or eight or nine or 10 mil Right but if you're going to show cat noviceses and casuals some crap like a 85 to 60 score in a national championship game and South Carolina was a clank goddess They were clank machine No one wants to see that Oh this see this why I don't watch women's basketball You got Raven and them just blowing smoking layups Man I
• 72:00 - 72:30 ain't got a trying to watch all that wide open in the corner just breaking threes Oh god Like no one wants to see that No one wants to see that Going up for a layup and you barely six inches off the floor getting a shot block when you was just in the layup lines clapping the backboard Like no one wants to watch you jump 6 in off the floor Why are you jumping six inches off the floor attempting this layup getting it blocked by Lauren Betts when you were
• 72:30 - 73:00 literally in the layup line clapping the backboard like none of this stuff makes sense Like I said to you guys the other day when I was coaching girls basketball okay I would tell them you when you do a layup or an inside shot I want you to jump like you're trying to touch the backboard Okay that's how I want you to jump right don't be out here when we're practicing
• 73:00 - 73:30 and you're you're you're grazing the bottom of the backboard or you're able to jump up and touch the net but when you get into a game you're barely jumping 4 in off the floor What are you doing you were just touching the net You grazed the bottom of the backboard but now it's time to do a layup or inside shot you're jumping 3 in if that That's not aesthetically pleasing It makes women look super
• 73:30 - 74:00 inferior Okay and it it should never look that way So noviceses and casuals turn away when they see women getting their shots smacked because they're only jump jumping 4 in off the floor Novices and casuals turn away when they see women clanking layups Wide open layups They turn away I can't watch this There's too many wide open corner threes You're just smacking off the front of the rim or the
• 74:00 - 74:30 back of the rim We don't want to watch that What grows women's basketball is sophistication is luxury and you only get that if you're efficient Not a lot of dead ball turnovers Barely any self-inflicted wounds Great adjustments out of timeouts Damn good X's and O strategy Very efficient with your corner
• 74:30 - 75:00 threes with your wide open shots Okay you're not smoking and blowing and smacking layups off the back board and clanking them When you attempt layups and you attempt floaters and teardrops inside shots you're not just jumping two inches off the floor right efficiency is luxury It's sophistication And that's what grows women's basketball
• 75:00 - 75:30 Novices turn into casuals Casuals turn into hardcore fans Ratings numbers go up year overyear And that's how you grow Okay that's how you grow Your voice is as oxygen So I listen to every word you say And when I and when I made that poem for this one beautiful woman who's now a model and runs her own
• 75:30 - 76:00 fitness gym and she's all over different commercials in here in Jacksonville When I told her that I was only 18 years old My first apartment a two-bedroom apartment I'm going to school and working two jobs Okay that's what I was doing And she's driving a Corvette and she got other dudes who trying to get with her
• 76:00 - 76:30 and all of this other stuff But she wanted me She wanted me cuz I'm different I'm different And I could I can write a beautiful poem for her and then I could tell her your voice is as oxygen So I listen to every word you say That's sophisticated That's sophistication That's luxury That's beautiful That is
• 76:30 - 77:00 phenomenal That is amazing to hear Especially when I'm saying it in my 12 midnight my midnight 1:00 in the morning voice When I'm using my 1:00 in the morning voice Oh it sounds even better right that's luxury That's sophistication versus some dumb little rap song You understand and that's what's missing That's what's missing So anyway
• 77:00 - 77:30 y'all let me get up out of here Let me get up out of here Y'all take care That's it
