SPEAKER_10

Sis, sis, stay taking a shot. I mean, it's just started. It just started, okay. Sis is with sis is with the shits, okay. She was singing. Okay, okay. All right. Carry on, carry on.

SPEAKER_01

Um, yeah, let's talk about Jacksonville. Tell me who all's in that league. Abilene Christian. Everybody's moved around a lot. Who's in the Jacksonville conference? Anybody know? Did they win the league? That's why Coach Bob's across the street. He'll have all that ready for us tomorrow. Everybody's good. Everybody's either won their leagues. Jacksonville. Who all's in that league?

SPEAKER_10

First of all, I'm so ready to I could be at like a certain level, especially with this podcast where I just show the shot the hell up and y'all tell me what happened. You tell me what I'm recording about. You tell me, just tell me. Okay, I'm ready to get to that point of this podcast. But carry on. But anyway, what do you think about that? It's it's she's gonna be on one.

SPEAKER_11

She's gonna be on one for sure.

SPEAKER_10

Sorry.

SPEAKER_11

Keep going. Yeah, just keep going.

SPEAKER_01

So they won the tournament. Okay, what's their record?

unknown

2014.

SPEAKER_01

What is it?

unknown

2014.

SPEAKER_01

Pretty good team, huh? Um, Texas Tech and who was the uh Villanova? Um Villanova like it here with all the Catholics we have in Louisiana, right? Um I'm familiar with uh obviously Krista, the coach at Texas Tech. She was a great player there, if y'all remember. She played with Cheryl Swoops, won a national championship for Marsha Sharp. And uh don't know the coach at Villanova, and don't know Jacksonville. So for the three that are coming here, that's as much as I know tonight.

SPEAKER_10

The disrespect. You know that's probably gonna get you know, that's probably gonna get played in the locker room. They don't disrespect you. They don't know they didn't even she didn't even know your record. You know how that goes.

SPEAKER_11

I was gonna I was gonna say that at the beginning, but you know how that goes. I was just like, she's like, well, who's in their league? Like, who's their coach? Like, what who's what what are they doing?

SPEAKER_10

You know how that go.

SPEAKER_11

First of all, don't disrespect special, okay? Y'all better come in there prepared. And and from what it looks, what it's looking like, I don't know. It's giving me it might be out first round. Oh, you think so? I don't know. And the little birdies that I heard, I heard the the the the assistant coaches ain't coaching.

SPEAKER_10

You're right about that.

SPEAKER_11

So, I mean, that's just too much. It's too much, it's it's a lot good. It's too much on them. Like, you get what I'm saying? It's too much.

SPEAKER_10

I don't know about I don't know about first round, but I think it's a lot good. It ain't gonna be a first round.

SPEAKER_11

Maybe I'm uh yeah, I'm gonna put a little sauce on it. I'm going to, I'm putting too much sauce on it. You with the shits, too. We with the whole thing. I'm with yeah. We're going with the I'm matching that energy. What are you talking about? Keep going.

SPEAKER_01

Uh, we've been on the floor since Wednesday, but it'll be good to be back on the floor and know who we're preparing for. The unknown is you're not just preparing for Jacksonville. You got to do your homework on the other two because should you win, you don't know who you're gonna play.

SPEAKER_10

So I think that people don't realize how like quick of a turnaround when it comes to like preparation.

SPEAKER_11

Yeah, like during tournament time, trying to like stack those on top of each other, yeah, while also not getting too far ahead of yourself. Facts, you know what I mean? Like focus on this game, but we're also preparing for the next, but focus on this game.

SPEAKER_10

And it's crazy because like I mean, I can't speak from an NCAA tournament. Unfortunately for me, I never went there, but I can just speak from just like be like quick turnaround, like you being on a game, like a road trip, right? It's like as soon as you get done off the game, they handed you that scouting report for the next game. And it's just and that's why it's like you literally like I always talk about don't dwell on plays, like you literally cannot focus on what's happening.

SPEAKER_11

When I was at Rice State, yeah, after a game, you are already like, well, now they have like like huddle and all these things now where you can like just kind of upload stuff, which is oh yeah. But when I was doing it, you had to get the DVD from the video guy. Yep, burn the DVD, give it to all the coaches, but you're already like because I was a GA, I was already like emailing other schools about because they played the team tonight, yeah. The same night we played, and I need that game.

SPEAKER_12

Yep.

SPEAKER_11

So now you have to get that game, make sure they send it, make sure you cut it up, yeah, give it to all the coaches. It's coach is hard. It's a lot, y'all.

SPEAKER_10

It's a lot, it's hard. I'm gonna keep going. Go ahead.

SPEAKER_01

We'll be we'll be prepared.

SPEAKER_08

Uh is Daphne going with Gary?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

How do you plan to but didn't I already say that?

SPEAKER_08

I don't think so. I didn't? I thought I wasn't. I said on the radio that she might be.

SPEAKER_10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10

Um did Daphne say she was going with Gary.

SPEAKER_11

Oh, I don't know. I mean, I haven't. The crazy part is it's like, yeah. I mean, I didn't see that. The only little thing that we saw was that the assistant coach was going. That's Death. No, no, no, no. The the black guy. Who? Oh, you're talking about Garrett. Gary. Yes, Garrett. He in the hate cup.

SPEAKER_10

Right. Yes.

SPEAKER_11

I didn't I didn't see any posts or any announcements about uh anybody else. Yeah.

SPEAKER_10

Because I thought that they had to like, when it came to that, like people make their own like announcements. You get what I'm saying? Like, that's what I thought. Like, you see it, like, you know, like Sam. Interesting. It I think it comes the same way of like I talked about, like, when we was asked about questions of I think it like when we asked about questions about like what the players' plans are after, and I was just like, you gotta let them declare that. You get what I'm saying? Like, yeah, you know. I get what you're saying. Yeah, but go ahead.

SPEAKER_08

Just how do you prep plan to prepare to use your utilize your coaching staff? Can you get any additional staff for this time?

SPEAKER_01

Oh no, y'all don't understand job responsibilities, okay? Daphne and G are our recruiters, okay? I have one person that does scout reports, and that's Bob. So um Bob will do what he normally does, and uh on the floor coaching, um, you'll just move Simone to fill in for G on passing drills and probably move maybe Joe down here with Bob. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08

So they don't help with game time substitutions or anything like that?

SPEAKER_01

No, they like to make suggestions, all of them do, but no, no. Bob is the a lot of coaches will give um scouting reports to multiple assistants. I I just I like hearing one voice. And um, Bob's in charge of matchups, and um yeah, we'll just have two chairs that uh they won't be in, and you know, but as far as responsibilities, no.

SPEAKER_11

I thought that was extremely shady, very much so. You you basically said that's shady the work that they have put into this program. I mean, they're they're national champions as well. That's shady. That what they brought to the table was not valued enough to me. That's how I I that's how I think that's it. You were good, you were only good enough to recruit and pass them the ball in shooting drills. That was shady. And you're easily replaceable after everything that you've given to that program. I I find it to be very disrespectful. She could have said something completely different because to say that their presence won't be missed, that's basically what she said without saying it. Yeah, that was shady. Is completely crazy. So, this is the type of shit that I'm talking about with LSU. You get what I'm saying? Where they just have all of these other factors and distractions and all these other things that they have to kind of get through on top of playing great with pressure and all these other things, you know what I mean? Because why not just keep them on the staff to finish the season? Even if it's not about them, it's about the girls and and your team at the end of the day. And if them being on the team is the best case scenario for your team and what you're trying to accomplish, then why not? Why not? Who is it hurting?

SPEAKER_10

Who is it hurting? Or it could look so let me ask you if I'm asking questions, if she says they are we talked about responsibilities, right? They are the recruiters, they are the recruiters, right? So do you think that she's taking it as far as they're gonna try to recruit the girls on the team? But we already talked about that. Though who's not doing that?

SPEAKER_11

I mean, she said that in an interview that we watched, you know, a couple months ago. But you would think you don't know who's gonna be here next year. You know, you hope they'll be here, but you know, they might be in the port. So those are conversations that are already being had, like, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_10

Um But you know, the thing about it is though, it's like one thing I'm seeing, just with this shade I'm seeing right here, it's a dog eat dog world when it comes to like coaching. Because it's like, I mean, for me, I've been with you for however long I've been with you. I would respect you enough to, you know what I'm saying? But you can't at the end of the day, if a player's saying they want to go, like if I'm like, hey, if you're leaving, I'm leaving. Just like look, just like what it happened with Kenny Brooks when you know, Georgia Amore, Clara Strack, but he was the head coach and he got another opportunity. Okay, you get what I'm saying? Assistant coaches could be different. End of the day, you don't know, but it's like, I mean, I would have enough respect not to up cut, you know, undercut you, but then again, I don't know if she's shady like this, who was the respect ever there, period.

SPEAKER_11

And see that that is a great point because I was about to say, like, did she know? Right? What did she know ahead of time that Gary was leaving?

SPEAKER_10

So this is how, from what I understand, this is how it's usually supposed to go, apparently. Out of respect, if we talk about respect, usually and and or usually a university usually calls the coach and asks for permission to interview, or this is what we're looking for, usually that's what happens, but we don't know. But also, too, like I said, if it's on the whole, if me and you both agree that we're taking this upon of like, ain't no responsibilities. Who's to know if you give me a call and they call asking about interviewing me? Who knows if you gonna say he ain't got no responsibilities on the phone?

SPEAKER_11

And that's my point when we talk about respect. Like we talk about respect and trust, right, right? Right, as an assistant coach, clearly you didn't have enough trust, right? Or the respect just wasn't even there to even like mention it to your coach that you've won a national championship with that you have been working with for a number of years. Why didn't you feel comfortable coming to her as a grown adult to be like, hey, like this is what I'm looking for, you know, like to get I mean, to get a blessing or not, I'm still leaving, but I'm just trying to give you the you know, respect. But it wasn't there on both sides, and why?

SPEAKER_10

Let me ask you a question. So if you looking for another job, right? Right, and you interviewing for jobs, are you telling your old job that you interviewing until you secure that job and you get no and I I totally I totally get that too.

SPEAKER_11

But we have to remember that coaching is completely different than a nine to five.

SPEAKER_10

Let me tell you a story. I'm gonna tell you a story. So when I and I'm just gonna go ahead and tell the story because I'm speaking my truth. So when I it was the end of my senior year, right? I I thought I wanted to get into coaching. I I pretty much did, but I wanted, I know where I kind of wanted to go to as far as coaching. Like I wanted to go to a certain place that was closer to home that I was familiar with. Um, because it was never discussed with me about me potentially staying there. You know what I'm saying? I would if I feel like if you have, I feel like if that's gonna be an option, I feel like that's something that should be kind of discussed early, or you would think would be discussed early on. You know what I'm saying? Or a next step. Oh, you not doing this, okay. The next step, let's do it. You would think you would be having them conversations boom after the first semester. What's your plans? You get what I'm saying? And why not? You would because I feel like at the end of the day, like I feel like other people are having there, they have a plan, right? Yes. So for me, I didn't know what I didn't know what my plan was. I knew I was done playing, but so I had reached out to another coach who I knew, who I was familiar with, about me possibly coming there. Cause like I said, I'm doing my own thing. It wasn't talked about about my plans or whatever. So I'd be damned. If it wasn't about maybe a few hours or a few days, if that coach didn't reach out to my coach telling me that I had spoken to her, I'd be damned. And and it was a you know, questions were asked about that. You know, what made you want to do that? But I'm like, I'm confused. Because it didn't like it.

SPEAKER_11

It's a small world.

SPEAKER_10

It's a small world, but I didn't know that I had to discuss that with you about me, what I want to do with my future plans, because we never talked about future plans.

SPEAKER_11

This is what I'm gonna say. I didn't know that I had to do that. It's a game, it's a game, it's a game. And though I understand, especially y'all, especially, and this is for like, I guess, because Gen Z is a little bit different than us. Yeah, Gen Z kind of like marches. They don't give a damn, they don't care. You know what I'm saying? They march to the beat of their own drum. But sometimes you do gotta play the game. You might not agree with it, yeah. You know what I'm saying? But especially as African American people, you have to play the game, and that's usually how it goes. You get what I'm saying? Yeah, um, yes, the basketball community is a small world.

SPEAKER_12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_11

Yes, if I'm working a traditional job, do I do I want to tell them that I'm, you know, leading? No. Yeah no, right? Um, but I think with this, their their positions, I think, on that LSU team, I think I think for one, I think Moki is downplaying it. I think she's downplaying their role as team. Oh, facts. To save face for the people and and for the team. Maybe she that is the what you're gonna go. Y'all be fine.

SPEAKER_12

Right.

SPEAKER_11

You know, Bob does all of this, y'all would be fine. I don't know.

SPEAKER_10

Um Well, I will say, if we talk about if the substitutions have been questionable all year. So if we talk about one person doing substitutions, baby, it's been plenty of times that that has not worked. It hasn't.

SPEAKER_11

To be honest, and you know what's crazy? It's so funny that she even mentioned that earlier. Because I feel like even because I'm always looking at the bench, I'm looking at the coaches, I'm looking at like who's involved, who's talking, who's doing what at certain times, you know. And I rarely see Daff talk on the bench. I'm rarely seeing like, you know, if I'm seeing it, you know what I mean? So for her to say that they didn't have much of a whatever, I think that's kind of crazy. It's it's I'm actually I'm kind of shocked by the whole thing, to be honest. Um, I just think there are some roles. I think for this in particular, I think their their positions are very important to this team. Yeah. And you're working with young people, yeah um, you know, young 18-year-olds, 19-year-olds, you know, and granted they're grown, they still don't know how to regulate their emotions all the way.

SPEAKER_12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_11

You know what I mean? To me, y'all are still kids, in my opinion. Y'all grown, but y'all still kids, and it's a lot that y'all have to learn. I I just I I think overall, I just wish they could finish the season. What's wrong with it? I I mean that's that's the question right there. Like, let's finish the season. But I think I think the bridge has been burned.

SPEAKER_10

Yeah. So I I mean, so definitely burned. But I feel like with this industry, so to the point that I was making earlier, when it came to like me, when I talked about like that situation happening with me, like I have a conversation, and somebody, oh, from that moment, I don't want no part of that coaching world. I'm good on y'all. I take my ass to go over here. I don't I want no parts of none of that because it ain't gonna be no somebody name on me, somebody telling me where to go, somebody, and that's what it is. It's all clickish, it's all systems, it's all this person's under this person, so this person's going over there. I I just that's not my vibe. I just don't go that way. That's just not my cup of tea. It's messy, it's messy. No, thank you. But I will say this, because like so Daphne was the dobo at tech when I was a senior. I will say that. Um, I think that everybody has their roles when it comes to, everybody has their roles when it comes to coaching, right? Yeah, you know who, and and and the role could not be on the floor at the end of the day. It it could have nothing to do with the floor. Because I tell you right now, we had we went through a bunch of coaches. I have some coaches right now who's at big programs, yeah, big, big major pro. And I'm over here questioning, like, I don't know how she got a job over there. I don't know what she brings to the team. It ain't X to N's, it ain't player relationships.

SPEAKER_11

I don't know, I don't know no coaches like that. Oh, oh girl, girl, big universities, coaches, big bags, coach Hicks that coach was coaches with Kenny Brooks at UK and was at India Tech. She coached at Moorhead my last year. She was an assistant there.

SPEAKER_10

Yeah. But I I mean, I could say, look, the point I'm saying is this like I think that end of the day, like, everybody, you know who to go to at the end of the day when it comes to a coach of staff. Yo, your head, your head coach is the last person to know anything that goes, they always should be. Whether you get in trouble, whether you're in a situation, whether somebody has to handle that, and it ain't the head coach. So I can tell you who I'ma call. You know, I remember, like I said, I remember, like, if we had a situation, you know, when I I knew who to call. It wasn't, you know what I'm saying, what the head, the head coach. I knew, you know what I'm saying? Like, I think that it's certain things that everybody does have their part. I think that this is shady. Like I said, we don't know at the end of the day, um, what it could be, but it ain't it ain't a good situation, it seems like to that.

SPEAKER_11

It's it's it's turmoil. It's turmoil. And you could, yeah. It's turmoil. I mean, because I think Kim's feelings are hurt. Gotta be. Her feelings are hurt, and that's why she's her feelings are hurt. Gotta be. Yeah.

SPEAKER_10

But carry on. That was a lone talk.

SPEAKER_08

It's the first time you've had a two-seed here. I know you you like to say that you didn't need one before and you got as far as you did, I guess. But does it mean anything? Uh does it change anything?

SPEAKER_01

Well, I think it should be written. This is our fifth year doing this, and this is the highest seed that we've had ever at LSU. Uh, if you couldn't get a one-seed, you're the first two-seed. Um, that's progress. That shows your your heading. Um the trajectory is up. The trajectory is already up when you won the national championship. But um I think that needs to be written. I think it's gonna get lost in everything. It's gonna get lost in the fact that um, you know, we're playing UCLA. For the third time in three years, if we get to that point, I shouldn't say play them. We're in that region because I don't look ahead. Um, my focus will be on first and second round games here. Um, but don't get lost on what we just accomplished.

SPEAKER_05

Obviously, yeah, point guard point guard play is always important uh in the post.

SPEAKER_10

Sis is so fed up. Sis wants to get off the mic so bad. Sis is fed up.

SPEAKER_11

I don't understand. It's like this is the highest rank that they've ever had.

SPEAKER_10

Yeah. So your assistant coaches was just what were the you get what I'm saying? Yeah. And also, too, mind you, mind you, Gary had the number one recruiting class two out of the years.

SPEAKER_11

Yeah, because you told me that he got Angel there.

SPEAKER_10

He had two out of the year, the number one recruit class, two out of the the years he was there.

SPEAKER_11

Her feelings hurt.

SPEAKER_10

That's yeah, that's what, yeah, yeah. But it it shouldn't be that though. You regarding that it shouldn't be like that. It shouldn't, no, it shouldn't be like that. It shouldn't be like that.

SPEAKER_11

And I'm not, yeah, I'm not trying to give her no excuse for I just I hate that.

SPEAKER_10

You get what I'm saying? I just I it shouldn't be that way.

SPEAKER_11

Because at the end of the day, it's about the kids, yeah. You know what I mean? That's what it's about, yeah.

SPEAKER_10

And also, too, it should be about like growth. Like it should be about being happy, it should be about growth, yeah.

SPEAKER_05

But uh season what maybe what's maybe something that's a little more a little less talked about, but that's important to you that have success in the postseason to make a to make a run in a tournament like this.

SPEAKER_01

I think a lot of coaches like to talk about the fact that guards are what you have to have to win championships, and that may be true if that's your philosophy and your system, and you don't have a postplayer. We're playing against some of the best post players in this particular bracket, big, tall, everything runs through them so that the guards do better. Uh, so I don't buy that it's a guard deal in the playoffs. If you got a post, your post are usually gonna be what your offense runs through.

SPEAKER_10

You think so? I think it I think it do you?

SPEAKER_11

I think it's just literally like you're right. I think a big if you got a good post player, that I say that all the time. When you got a big post player, if you feed them starting the game off, you get them going, that just opens up more space for your good guards that you have. That way they're open, they have more space, they have more driving lanes, they have more space to create. It's just all of these things. Like I just like a post player.

SPEAKER_10

Oh but who won when who won that national championship though? When what what type of play won her national championship at LSU? What type of player? It was guardplay.

SPEAKER_11

Was it guardplay?

SPEAKER_10

Yeah, Alexis Morse. And then Jasmine came off the bench and went crazy.

SPEAKER_11

Maybe. Yeah, but I mean, because you had you had Angel down there rebounding.

SPEAKER_10

You did, you did.

SPEAKER_11

And now that they don't have it, we see how how much they miss it. Like you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_10

You're right. See, I because rebound, I think I if you if I had to say any stat line that's gonna determine the game period is rebounding. I'm always gonna say that. If you control the rebounds, you can control the game. I'm always I always gonna say that. But yeah, carry on.

SPEAKER_01

Uh, we're gonna continue to do what we do. I think we have um some seasoned young ones now. Uh when you go through the SEC, uh, as y'all well know, it's kind of a breath of fresh air to get out of there and just start the playoffs.

SPEAKER_10

Facts.

SPEAKER_01

Um all of them.

SPEAKER_10

Facts.

SPEAKER_01

You just you just gotta be playing your best basketball at the right time. All uh, all five on that floor and even the bench.

SPEAKER_11

Hold on for a second, though.

SPEAKER_09

Kim, as you watch the bracket unfold.

SPEAKER_11

I kind of feel like that too. Like when I'm doing a bracket, every time I see a team playing an SEC team, I'm just like, they didn't work their ass off this season, okay? Yeah. I'm talking about game after game. So I'm always like, are they gonna win? I mean, shoot, they've been playing these tough teams all season, but go ahead.

SPEAKER_10

Yeah. Me, at the end of the day, I think about the age, I think about just the what you had in you at that age. Yo, M L legs can go back to it. You you think you thought we you thought you were tired back then, baby? You we didn't know what tired was. You know what I'm saying? We might have been beat up a little bit, but it's like when it comes out there, that ball goes up in the air. It's time to play. Facts. You find it, like I always say.

SPEAKER_09

And you saw where some of the other SEC schools were heading. Were you thinking, boy, they could do some damage there?

SPEAKER_01

Or like God, I really didn't pay attention to who they would be playing or what region they were in. I do remember, wasn't old miss there any other SEC team in our bracket? Yeah.

SPEAKER_10

Now, is this shade or do you think she really don't be knowing?

SPEAKER_11

I don't think she be knowing.

SPEAKER_10

I don't think she be knowing either. I think she legit just at a point where you know you got your people. Only thing I my job is to do is come and coach that damn game. And I think that that's how it should be.

SPEAKER_11

Like I said, I don't think like they, I don't honestly, I don't think any players or coach really care to do press or media. Like if they could just focus on their team and what they have to do with the country.

SPEAKER_10

That's what you never you paid to coach.

SPEAKER_11

Yeah, I just think so. For me, I think sometimes I would just go in there like, listen, I'm not about to nobody.

SPEAKER_10

Another question too, though. If if she likes, if we we came to, if we know that she shows up and she can, which she should, sis is paid good money to do what the hell she does. She's one of the best. If we know that she's paid to come and show up, put them bedazzles on and coach and do it on that floor, you can't convince me not everybody got more responsibilities on that damn bench. But then they do got a bunch of them on a bench, though.

SPEAKER_11

They got a whole bunch of coaches, and they know and a lot of coaches and a lot of teams now do, like after going to some of the DC games, girl, watching Ohio State. Girl.

SPEAKER_10

I would say eight people in them list.

SPEAKER_11

Yes, and they sitting behind the bench and they all doing something, they got boards and all types of stuff. I'm just like, oh my goodness.

SPEAKER_10

Yeah, a delegation.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, yeah, it's just kind of hard to remember. Um, um, I'm sure Ole Miss, um were they a five seed or something? And they're sitting there going, oh man, we were so close to being a four-seed. Um, yeah, I want them all to do good. I hope we see SEC teams when we all get to Elite Eights. Um, but um how many did we get in? How many SEC teams made it?

unknown

Ten.

SPEAKER_01

I don't even know.

SPEAKER_11

Then, right? It was TN, but girl, you know that answer. A little small flex. So so y'all know how tough our conference is. How right? How many teams made it?

SPEAKER_10

Right. So I can so I can fall back on that if I need an excuse later. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Coach, this might be a little bit of a premature question, but how do you think your depth is gonna help you guys throughout the tournament?

SPEAKER_01

Um, about the same that it has all year. Um, you know, we've played eight, nine, sometimes go the whole bench, depending on the score of the game. Um, not afraid to play them. Um, you gotta have depth.

SPEAKER_10

And you're not afraid to play them.

SPEAKER_01

And uh when you do have depth that's seasoned and comfortable and confident, um it helps you. It helps you now. You only gotta win six games to win it all, so it's not like you gotta really rest people like you do through a regular season. I mean, you're you're subbing, but you're not subbing to rest. You're subbing because you need to sub at that moment. But what are you resting for? There is no tomorrow.

SPEAKER_10

This is a good point. That's a that's an excellent point. I never thought of it. I think about a lot of things, but I ain't never thought about that.

SPEAKER_12

Hold on for a second.

SPEAKER_10

Okay, you cool.

SPEAKER_12

Sorry, girl.

SPEAKER_01

You gotta really rest people like you do through comfortable and confident. Um it helps you. It helps you now. You only got to win six games to win it all, so it's not like you gotta really rest people like you do through a regular season. I mean, you're you're subbing, but you're not subbing to rest. You're subbing because you need to sub at that moment. What what are you resting for? There is no tomorrow.

SPEAKER_10

I think that that's amazing. That's an amazing yeah. That's I I've never I usually think about a lot of things, especially when it comes to that, you know, that that that's an amazing point. Because it's like one, this is we give it all we got. Like that rest of what you rest for. What are you talking about? You gotta rest after this game. Get up, get up. Yeah, but just the fact that you need to like you subbing because you need something at this point. You subbing because we need a rebound. Let me go grab it. Okay, okay, right. So, yeah, but okay, keep going.

SPEAKER_07

There's a debate for the top overall seed, UConn versus UCLA. Do you have any strong feelings about which team should have gotten that?

SPEAKER_01

Um, no, I don't. Um, I can see both ways. Um, this is what I say it every year, and I've tried to tell y'all, there is no formula that the 12 people sitting there follow. They end up having to do what they have to do to make things work, right? If you just went by a formula, we'd be playing South Carolina. We'd be in that region, right? Well, they're not gonna do that. Well, they sure are not gonna put you with Texas either. So the next in line was obviously the two seed. Um, there's always the argument. And pause it real quick.

SPEAKER_11

And what's the point of that?

SPEAKER_10

Hey, well, I tell you, sis set the damn tone when she walked in that bit today. Sis set the tone today, okay? Sis set the tone. Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_11

Sis set the tone. She did set the tone. And it didn't, it's already no, she's setting the tone, but like this. She's so calm. Facts. Yeah. Go ahead, girl. Facts.

SPEAKER_01

That how many ranked teams did UCLA play this year? And there's always that argument. Well, they didn't play many. How many times have you heard my strength, non-conference strength of schedule? And we still had a five net this year. We're the number one two seed. There's just no formula. So there's 12 people in a room trying to figure it out and do the best that they can.

SPEAKER_10

That's a good point because that's been the whole talk about them not playing nobody all year and then look at the tournament. It ain't no formula.

SPEAKER_11

It ain't no formula because it's about money. Okay. The formula is looking. I can't have you playing South Carolina right now. I need you to maybe play them later. Period. That's what it's about. Period. Period.

SPEAKER_01

They have some parameters, they have some guidelines, but it screws it up when you got a clear a league like the SEC. You can't follow the S curve. Um, I do hate it for LSU fans because it would be so convenient to go to Fort Worth. Uh, so we'll go see, we were in Albany last year. We go back to Sacramento. We're worried the year before that.

unknown

Albany's store, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, so we've been a long way away, right? It's um, I think they do it because they just know LSU has a lot of money and can afford to do that, right? No, no, I'm being facetious.

SPEAKER_10

You've been doing that all interview, sis.

SPEAKER_11

She does not want to be there.

SPEAKER_10

You've been doing this all interview. Hey, hold on.

SPEAKER_11

She's like they call her on the right day.

SPEAKER_10

Okay, like you okay, yeah, some and sometimes it gets like that. You go you go F around and find out.

SPEAKER_11

I mean, she just lost two coaches, like you know, like we gotta go across the the country to play. I'm trying to tell you. Who knows what's going on at practice? Lord, who knows what's going on at practice?

SPEAKER_10

I'm trying to tell you, I'm trying to tell you.

SPEAKER_04

How have you seen the quality of the teams 1 to 64 improve in this tournament over the years?

SPEAKER_01

Because well, it's not just in the NCAA tournament, Jock. I've seen teams improve throughout the season because of money. NIL makes everybody better, or worse, I guess. Could make you worse if you don't have the money and you lose players. Um, but I think you're seeing uh because of NIL money, revenue share, you're seeing a lot more parity.

SPEAKER_04

You feel like it used to be, oh, only two or three teams can win to win it.

SPEAKER_01

Um years ago, yeah. But I think as the years have progressed, I see more than two or three teams that can win it. We're a classic example, right? Three seed and we won it. So that's a good thing. That's a good thing. More parody, the the more people, the more eyes watch us.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, early on, earlier on this season you talked about how your young group, that's the the one thing you kind of didn't know what was going to happen in the NCAA tournament because they've they've never played in it yet. But I guess how do you get how do you try to prepare them just to the best of your ability to get them ready for that that kind of different feel for things?

SPEAKER_01

I hope the I hope the SEC has prepared them. I really do. Um you look at the arenas we've gone into and how large those arenas fans are or how many are in an arena when we go in. A lot of them are for us. Yeah. But I think just going on I've seen it.

SPEAKER_10

Uh multi multiple occasions. They they they fans them gro them kids be waiting for them for hours. That's so I've seen that, honey. They fans travel.

SPEAKER_01

The road, uh, the SEC tournament. Uh I think it prepares them for um the postseason because quite honestly, we're gonna go play, and how many are really gonna be in that arena? I don't know. I don't know. You just played in Greenville, packed. You play here, it's packed. You go to other places in the league, it's packed. So I don't know. I don't even know where it's being played in Sacramento, do y'all? If you do know anything, um, but right now, I let me tell you something.

SPEAKER_10

Kim, do you know anything? Let me let me tell you, I can't wait. I'm telling you, I can't wait till we get to a point in this damn podcast where I can just show the fuck up. Do you hear me? Baby.

SPEAKER_11

Nah, but that's that's that's like time put in, though. She can do that because that's time. That's what I'm saying. Like, you know what I'm saying? That's what I'm doing. I don't even just think if Kim came up there doing that. Kim Codwell from Tennessee. Like, girl, you ain't got enough skin in the game to come over and act like you know what you're talking about.

SPEAKER_10

They would be hey, you hold on away. They be on, and that's the problem. She ain't prepared, she don't even know what you're playing.

SPEAKER_11

And that's why you're playing like you're playing.

SPEAKER_10

That's why you're playing how you're playing. Look, sis, sis got rings, okay? Sis, I'm I come and I show up for the games, I coach the game, y'all and I say what I want to say, and I do what I want to do. Period. Okay.

SPEAKER_01

I want to see this sold out. I was just told we play OU here in baseball. Is that right? Friday, Saturday, Sunday. So you've got, I don't know what time do we play Friday.

unknown

Not set.

SPEAKER_01

Not set, whether it's an afternoon or night games. Hmm. 9 15. Thank you very much. Take you, Gerital.

SPEAKER_11

I paused it. Oh, I aspire to be like that, like just in life, though. That's what I'm saying. I want to be like just in the moment, like, can, you know, like I'll know what time the game is. You know? Okay. I just live in the moment.

unknown

I don't know.

SPEAKER_11

What time do I need to be there? Yeah.

SPEAKER_10

But ain't that that one girl's job? Okay, we talk about responsibilities. The one girl, the one, the dark haired lady on the on the on the on the uh, isn't it? She like her personal assistant or something like that. Ain't she the person? She probably the person who tell her the times. Probably. She'd be crazy. You need to be here by six. Hey, I uh I wonder, I bet you she don't even pick out her own outfits.

SPEAKER_11

No, no, definitely has a stylus.

SPEAKER_10

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_11

I'm talking about hey, I'm t I acquire. Yeah, like her personal assistant is like the phone, the email, the all of that. I want to be this. She probably doesn't even pick up a phone or anything like that. She's probably like, hey, call X, Y, and Z. Hey, you need to call somebody and let them know that blah blah blah. She just kind of like, what is it? She facilitates.

SPEAKER_10

Yeah. I need to be this level of rich, okay? Okay.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08

And what does it mean to be here? Um, doing this again, having this post opportunity again.

SPEAKER_01

Um, it's it's hard to believe I've done it this many years. And then I think, hmm, but it's over half my team's first time. And so you think about their excitement more than what you feel. And I'm excited. I'll always be excited as long as I have a breath to cheer, pump my fist, and do things because um I just don't take it for granted.

SPEAKER_10

Period. Real quick, when she talked about just half her team, this is their first time being here, right? So you saw Fly J was in the gym after the press conference. I mean, after the selection Sunday. That's what I'm talking about when it comes to leadership. This right here, this is her time to shine.

SPEAKER_11

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10

This this is time where she rises to the occasion. This is the time where she leads the troops. This is the time where it ain't no zero points, it ain't no missed shots. This is the time where she should be ready. So her being in the gym after selection Sunday is a good sign. Now, my other question. I didn't see the teammates. I don't know, but you know, they only show a little clip. Bring your damn teammates with you. Bring the HOA. Bring the HOA. We need everybody with you.

SPEAKER_11

The HOA needs to be there.

SPEAKER_10

The HOA need to be in line. But I really got one clip.

SPEAKER_11

She need to be, yeah. That's see, Jada needs to be working out with them.

SPEAKER_10

The whole honey, bring your hey, let me tell you something. My junior year, my going into my going into my junior year, we did the we did the little Jordan vibes. We did the little Breakfast Club every morning in the summer, 5 a.m.

SPEAKER_11

Oh bro, yeah. We there. If I'm if I'm thinking about like like for me, obviously, I got a lot of I my first two years, I have great teams at in Morehead. My first three years.

SPEAKER_10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_11

In Moorhead. Um and you know, when they when they talk about assists, it's like, yes, you have to have the the visibility to see things that other people don't, but at the same time, you also have to have good teammates too, because they have to make the shot. You get what I'm saying? Yeah. Um and China, I it was to a point where like I was so particular about how I passed her the ball. It's stuff like that.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_11

You know what I mean? Like, I wanted to pass her the ball with the seams already like kind of going. Well, she's ready to shoot. So that she can just catch it and shoot and not have to, like, you know, she rotate or whatever like that, you know? But I would that's something that I would powerful. That's what we would work on, you know, like, and if I'm working out with her, that was something that because it's a tandem thing, it's a rhythm, it's uh understanding who you're playing with and how they move and how they react to stuff. Like, so if I'm Jada, I'm in I'm in a gym with Plaget, I'm in a gym with with Leja, I'm in, I'm in the gym with Michaela, all of that stuff. So we can get timing. It's all about timing, it's all about it's all of those things, you know. Um that's excellent.

SPEAKER_10

That people don't people don't know how deep this ball shit gets at the next level. And that's the thing when I talk about when I talk to high school kids, I'm thinking you, you, you want, you want to play D1? You you think you wanna play D one? You You really, you really don't. You know what I'm saying? Like from what I'm seeing from you, you bet really better think about it because it's deep. It's deep. You just sat there and said you like to pass somebody the ball to score the ball a certain way.

SPEAKER_11

But now it's something that the purpose, it was a feel. You had to feel the ball in your hand to know, like, okay, I'm dribbling, dribbling, time, spin, pass. You know what I'm saying? Like it's it's like a real thing.

SPEAKER_10

Like and to say the same thing that you're saying too. It's like, I mean, even if you this time of year, like, especially you a singer, right? You done felt it before, you done cut down the nets before, like, you know what I'm saying? You think you looking at this different than everybody else on this team is looking at this is it for you. You know what I'm saying? This is your last time. It could be the last time you put that jersey on. So it's like you gotta find a way to get the freshmen, the sophomores, the one who's, I mean, next year. Well, we got we got four years to do it, but you don't know that four years goes by so fast. You gotta find a way to get them to buy in. So, like, what better way to show leadership is that let's get in this gym. I'm in the gym, let's go. We, you know what I'm saying? But you know what though? I think it's too late. It could be.

SPEAKER_11

I feel like it's one of those things where like that's a thing that is built over time. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like for me, like I I talk about China because she was a great senior. I mean, she was only one year ahead of us, you know what I'm saying? But my dad has always instilled in me playing is that like you play for your seniors, yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like, it's it's it's potentially their last game. Yeah, you know what I mean? Like, I so for me, like when China was going to her senior year, it was like, man, like I really want to like try to win this thing for her. Like it's her last year, like I'm gonna give it everything I got. I want to try to give, but that's something that was built over time. That's true, because you're talking about buying into something and wanting to do something for somebody and play playing for your teammate and playing for your sister, like that's true. It's something that's like built over time. Can it be done? Yes, you know what I mean. I just think with this particular LSU team, it's gonna take a little bit more.

SPEAKER_10

Yeah. But did you have did you have a singer that you didn't really F with? When you was like a freshman? I did. But uh I mean, because it to your point, it could have been on a me knowing my personality, if you've been an asshole from all the way from October, all not saying that she's been that, just making a point to where you're standing with me too. If you've been an asshole from when I stepped foot on campus all the way to March, now you want me to play hard for you? No, sis. Go ahead and get I'm ready for you to get up by the way.

SPEAKER_11

You don't know nothing about me. You don't you didn't ask about my family, you don't know, like you ain't gave me no pep talk, you ain't gave me some encouragement, you ain't like gave me the push. Like it's all of that stuff.

SPEAKER_10

All of that stuff, bruh. But you know, you know, something that always stands out to me to this day, and we talked about it with Mo and like with Monique and just with Tia Gibbs, who played at that little team. When they told me that like two o'clock in the morning, them singers was telling them we're playing pickup in the summer. Like, that right there told me, baby, I was not built for no final 14. Because I don't know about I would have did it, but it would have shown me that I you needed the people who to challenge you like that. You get what I'm saying? Because you ain't got no point, no choice but to rise up to the occasion and bring and bring it and excellence or your ass is leaving. You know what I'm saying? But you expose stuff like that too. But that's something that's to your point. Sorry. No, you good. That was great conversation. That was excellent. That was good.

SPEAKER_01

I just don't. And um, it's work, it's work to maintain something, it's work to build something. Um, and just don't let people forget how hard it is. It is hard, and it's darn hard to win championships.

SPEAKER_08

You got four days to get that work in. Anything specific you want to try to tweak before this gets started?

SPEAKER_01

Tweak. Um, we'll focus mainly on our opponents now. Uh, we had Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday to tweak things, and uh now it's time to work on your opponents and things that you potentially could see and that you need to work on.

SPEAKER_10

Excellent. I I think that's excellent. Great point.

SPEAKER_02

Kim, I know you just said that half your team is gonna be their first taste of the NCAA tournament, but you're one of just two or three teams in the country that have multiple players that have won a national championship. Is there value to that?

SPEAKER_01

I think they can share their experiences with their teammates. Um, but really listening to a teammate tell you what it's all about, you have to go experience it for yourself. Um, on the floor, they may can lead you, they may can calm you down when things get crazy, but um but they're not. No, you you just gotta go play.

SPEAKER_11

She said they may, but they're not you see, she was she said that they may lead you, they may say something, you know what I mean? Like, yeah, I don't know.

SPEAKER_10

I I just I don't I don't know how I feel about that response because like I know for me, it's like just like we talking about, right? Just what me and I talked about like just the point that I just made about the two o'clock in the morning. You have no choice but to be a sponge. If I'm gonna listen to somebody, I'm listening to the number one draft pick if you want to be good. You shouldn't be there. Heck yeah. If I'm if I'm if I'm want to be, if I want a national championship and I want to be, I got two people on my team who's done it, who's been some multiple final fours as far as let's.

SPEAKER_11

But you know, that takes a level of humility. Humility, that takes a level of like selflessness. Yeah. Um, it it's like a whole it and you gotta think about the the especially in this generation now with NIL and stuff, yeah. How do you, how do you if I'm a senior, but I'm not like at the level of uh, you know, a peer, you know what I mean, with the NIL, right? Like maybe I'm on the team and I get like ten thousand dollars. Am I getting a hundred thousand? Like, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. How do I how do I, you know, implement my things onto this young generation? Like, if if we're not equally like matched, it are they gonna look at me differently? Um, do they feel like they're not they don't have to listen to me because you're up here and I'm down here? Like you get what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_10

I think it's the same thing what you said as far as you building that a lot. Throughout the year, throughout the year. I think that's what you said.

SPEAKER_01

Play and and and it's exciting. Go play.

SPEAKER_00

Coach across town, Southern made it to the tournament for the second year in a row. Just what does it say that both the big time women's teams in Baton Rouge are growing as much as they are? You and Southern.

SPEAKER_01

Well, I I have a uh very much interest in Southern. Uh for a split second there, I thought, could they? Would they make them a 15? It would be the 225 game. Happy for them. Happy for them. Had an opportunity last year to see them play in person.

SPEAKER_10

But you don't know where people's ranked, and you don't know the seeds.

SPEAKER_01

Which one is it, girl? I thought McNeese would pull it out. I thought Louisiana Tech would pull it out. Man, you could have had four women's teams make the tournament because Louisiana Tech won their league, McNeese won their league, and they lost in the conference tournament. Now you want to talk about gut wrenching. You want to talk about gut wrenching. You're the best team for 16, 18 ball games, and it comes down to a tournament, and you don't have but a but one team that gets to go.

SPEAKER_10

And that sucks. And that's why I talked about conference tournaments being important for mid-majors, because I've had that feeling. I've done the work all year.

SPEAKER_11

We're gonna um I gotta I gotta find this video. Did you did you get that video I sent you?

SPEAKER_10

Which one? Girl could be tournament.

SPEAKER_11

But this guy, he was being funny. He was like, This is how it is about when mid-majors like to make it to the tournament, and be like, you have to win a hundred games by 30 or more. Facts, you have to be undefeated for two years. And he was like, he was like, and you and you have to win the tournament. And he was like, So we'll give you a 16 seed play-in game. Exactly.

SPEAKER_10

You made it though.

SPEAKER_01

That's gut wrenching, and it's really not fair, it's not, and I sure was hoping all four teams um that I kept up with could could make it.

SPEAKER_06

Coach, have you thought about how this might, you know, this is the end for Flagget and the time you get to coach her and that would be called a sad moment, and there's nothing to be sad about today.

SPEAKER_01

Um those tears will flow when it's all over in the locker room, and um no.

SPEAKER_10

That's a good one. That's a good response. I like that.

SPEAKER_01

Laughing sitting there. Um, when people would put stuff up there on the screen and start laughing about memories, you know. Oh man, that girl, yeah, that's what you do. But no, Lord, no, gonna milk her these last few games and hope that everybody understands that um your day's coming. The saddest day in college athletics is the day you take that uniform off and you hang it up for the last time. The saddest day. Because some will go on and play Pro Ball, some will not. When you go play pro, it's a totally different animal than college. And the saddest day is when that happens, and every one of them will have to experience that. Um, what messes it up now is the portal, the transfer portal. Um, but Flag staying four years at the same university. Um, you could probably count on both hands how many really do that.

SPEAKER_11

You're right about that, honey. So shout out to you know in the comments they're gonna be like Raven Johnson.

SPEAKER_10

Okay, it and anymore.

SPEAKER_01

And she did.

SPEAKER_05

You said late in the season that you just wanted to get a top four regional seed because you wanted the the team and the fans to get the first two round games at home. Um you've had great support here. I mean, I've obviously given them a lot of a lot of things to cheer for, but uh you know, uh were you were you sure that it was gonna be like that? That you that they'd come out and it would be, I mean, you've had every tournament game you've had here has been great atmospheres.

SPEAKER_01

LSU loves to win. Um, we're the flagship university, and I just think we're proud people, we're proud state, and um we've just built something here that's special. Um what's really gonna be interesting is Friday, they gotta decide between baseball and here, and then they gotta go, okay. Well, maybe I'll do baseball on Friday. And and what, but if we win on Friday and women's back, I can go do that on Sunday. Well, then you got baseball on Sunday too, you know. So you got that is a great thing to have that you have fans that support winning programs. Um, yeah, it's it's been an unbelievable, quick uh build, and I don't take it for granted. I went in the stands for what 10 minutes tonight before the selection show started to basically thank people for being here. Supposed to get bad weather tonight. A lot of them were scared to come. Texting and calling, Coach, I'm not gonna make it. We're gonna watch it on TV. I don't want to get caught, you know. I'm I'm great with that. I'm great with that. Watch it. They all love, you know, winners. People love winners.

SPEAKER_04

You talked about wanting to play Southern at one point, didn't you?

SPEAKER_01

If you'll remember, I wanted to do it on the football field. Do you remember that? Yep, that was cool, and that just got kind of I guess it just got dropped. I don't know, but I wanted to do that because uh was it volleyball or somebody did a volley? I don't remember what it was.

SPEAKER_11

And I think somebody else and it was live. Caitlin Clark did it too. I think they did it too, yeah. Yeah, it was live. Yeah, it was lit.

SPEAKER_10

It was lit, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

I thought, oh man, that would be awesome, but it never went any further.

SPEAKER_04

And just uh the freshman class, they're so talented. Is this where you kind of look forward to how they're gonna respond to this? Or you know?

SPEAKER_01

Well, the first thing I look forward to is the fact that this is why they came here.
