SPEAKER_03I know what's going on with this thing. I just don't say that. When they run around here talking about they say these teams sponsored and they doing all this, Coach, I know the truth.
SPEAKER_04I just don't say that because I don't. Because I was thinking about it. I don't think about it. And it's not.
SPEAKER_03I mean, but you gotta sell it to the G. They done sold it to the kids. They got Adidas teams around here. They got all types of stuff. I don't say that. Coach, don't do that, Coach, on the podcast. Coach.
SPEAKER_01No, Coach, because it's because like this this, you know, we're gonna make people mad today. This this Daytona Beach travel ball stuff is insane to me.
SPEAKER_03Coach, Coach, we got Coach, but we can't do it like that, Coach. We gotta get down the top five, man.
SPEAKER_01No, no. I don't I don't want to talk about no this summertime. We talk about travel. This stuff is insane. Coach, like Daytona We got more travel teams than we got high schools here in Daytona.
SPEAKER_03Coach, we do, coach. There's a lot, a lot of travel teams out there. Coach, that's nuts.
SPEAKER_01Now, I think the high school coaches are doing travel teams just to keep their kids together and play. Okay, I respect all that. But like, what's the purpose for it?
SPEAKER_03Could they just plan? Co listen, I got this is real, and I when when you have talented kids, right? Because I ain't gonna say no names, but when I got talented kids who's they are the best. When the parent starts saying no scrimmage, skills, I want skill work, skill work, skill work, skill work. When a parent told me that, I say, Oh my god. She said all they do is come to practice and scrimmage.
SPEAKER_01That's crazy.
SPEAKER_03So she said she's tired of it. She said she wants skill work.
SPEAKER_01And see what see, but what bothers me is see this is why the kids can jump around. Because you make some kids pay, you make some other kids not pay. No, like everybody, but see, that's why you have to make that payment significant so that parents make their kids stay. Like, no.
SPEAKER_03Oh, no, they they brought the man, you know, but the cost of a of a of a the fees is around here, man. Coach, come on, co they they they the the the market value, they put it all the way down to zero, coach.
SPEAKER_01Coach, listen. I've seen a team today on the highlights that had eighth graders, ninth gradest kids that's been supposed to be in the game.
SPEAKER_03Coach, you gotta stop. They know, coach, you can't do it like that on the podcast, man.
SPEAKER_01Coach, eighth, ninth grade kids that's been supposed to be in 11th grade, playing, playing, uh, playing 2029. What is that? I just laughed.
SPEAKER_03So okay, coach. Okay, so we talking about we're talking about summertime, someone who's okay with the travel. All right. So do you what do you what do you think? What do you think the um, the um, Winnie, do you think it in middle school, you know, you can play six, seven, you know what I mean? Think you should always play up. Okay, you know, it's different. I know high school, I feel like you're supposed to be playing with your with your grade, like 10th grade. You shouldn't be playing down on ninth grade teams and all that stuff.
SPEAKER_01No, if you're not dominating your age group, you shouldn't play up.
SPEAKER_03You shouldn't play up, yeah, yeah. I'm talking about dominating. Yeah, I know you're talking about like King done be out there killing and getting away. Dominating, yeah. I see.
SPEAKER_01I'm not playing no, I'm not playing no no uh no uh eighth grade travel ball, even with local teams around here, if I'm not dominating my seventh grade team. I'm talking about dominating. Y'all joke it ain't dominating, man. And I get it, kids just want to play. I get all that.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, because they uh they just want to play, but sometimes, man, you gotta you gotta do what's right. You know what I mean? You gotta play with where you're supposed to play. But the travel bar is is bad, coach. I see they play on five teams, they play on five teams, they do all that, coach. And they don't really go nowhere, coach.
SPEAKER_01And I ain't got nothing against none of the local tournaments and stuff like that. I can I can understand. And like the number one thing is, Coach, it's actually too many teams. That's all it is. Because kids got to.
SPEAKER_03Who is gonna what organization should run the area with the team, though? Me. Coach, you can't do that, Coach. Come on, man. They gonna say you're just trying to do that to get the kids.
SPEAKER_01No, coach, I don't know. Let me tell you something. That's that's what they that's what they uh said when I got my boy to come over there and coach. Oh, let me make sure I let me make sure I address that too. Who? Oh, it's my nut. Yeah, shout out to nut, man, coach. Yeah, shout out to my homie. So, you know, man, I probably got seven text messages about, oh yeah, man, you know, you got peanut over there, so you can get the Campbell kids. Let me explain something to y'all. They come in anyway, somehow. Let me explain something to y'all. Coach Pelham, Coach Peanut is probably my longest standing friend since we've been here in Daytona.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_01And he was supposed to come when I first got the job.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_01He just was doing some other stuff at the time.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_01And so like he's a loyal dude, so he didn't want to just bail on the obligation he already had. When he got free, he called me.
SPEAKER_03You put him on, that's it all, yeah.
SPEAKER_01And and like the problem is is that if it transpires to us being able to get a couple candle kids because of because of the relationship that he has, that's great. But he was definitely not high. For that.
SPEAKER_03Co I already called to be around here doing that to get you.
SPEAKER_01Coach, let me say it though. Let me let me make sure I be clear with this. What I've learned over the last five years, this is going this on my fifth year at C read. You gotta put some people on your staff that you trust.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, that's true. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01You know what I'm saying? Because everybody everybody that's smiling in your face ain't really your friend.
SPEAKER_03Oh, coach, you know I know that, bro. I know that.
SPEAKER_01So that's the thing. So I have two great assistant coaches, uh, Coach Chip and you know, Coach Maine knows my guys, but Peanut is a twenty plus year friend.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. And it just so happened that he coached he coached basketball. Yeah, you put him on.

Because that one don't get rid of the biggest. But Coach, see, but see, you tripping though. That's just when it opens. Because you know that's when it opens. It opens two times.
SPEAKER_01Coach after the fall league, it's gonna be too late. Because, Coach, listen.
SPEAKER_03On the boys' side, it might be, and not on the girl's side, not on the girl's. If I get a couple of that volume, they can come, but y'all can come from their tribe, then that's just the idea, co, you know. My kids gonna, they think they're gonna play and all that stuff, and then you know the coach might telling them lie, trying to get them, trying to keep them. You know what I mean? I seen a kid, I seen a kid, we couldn't have left lost last year, man. Jit ain't really play like that, bro. He was a starter for us, so Jits better start making their own decisions, start listening to these coaches lying to him. For real. And I told him. And I told him we weren't gonna play like that. But you know somebody influences bigger, so you know. But I'm gonna tell you the truth. I'm gonna tell you, listen, man. Listen, man. Hey, coach. Shout out to my Knicks. We're going back to back. I know you like that. So you from Florida. You like the magic. Coach, I hate the magic. The magic star, I never liked the magic. I always liked it the Knicks. Don't do my chap and chip team like that. We the champ, man. Got a ring. I got a ring this year.
SPEAKER_01So you got the shirt up there and everything.
SPEAKER_03You better ask Put. Put up calling, man. I know you're going crazy because I couldn't sleep three days, coach. Coach, you got so bad I was finna get on the plane and go to the parade, Coach. I promise y'all disclose. That was Johnson. Josh will call me. He seen me. He wouldn't see me at the summer league. He's like, You going to the parade? I'm like, man, I don't know, man. He's like, well, for I'm gone. I'm gone. I say, bro, I can't do it like that. I can't do it like that. So we gotta get in these talks back to at least Johnson from the spot. That's why you say he said, I say, I gotta go. He said I gotta go. He couldn't even. He couldn't, he couldn't even go. He said he had to go. He wasn't waiting his whole life for it, so he said he had to go. I would that close door. Going to the city, going to the parade. I watched it on TV though.
SPEAKER_01Oh man, they about to do like an E60 on the Boozer Boys. It's three of them.
SPEAKER_03You ain't know that?
SPEAKER_01Oh, it's on ESPN. I'm gonna go watch that. It's only watch that.
SPEAKER_03So they died with Columbus, man. They doing all that recruiting. You know, one five straight state championships. Man, get out of that stuff. Get out of that with them a little team. Y'all recruit from all over the state.
SPEAKER_01And they football team, and their football team just got the coach from Miami Central. So he getting all the Coach, you gotta stop, man.
SPEAKER_03I'm glad they go on that eight, that 18, top 18 thing. They don't want five straight. They don't want Late Mayor. Late Mary finally get done and have to play them first round. In the final for the first game. As I B coach. And you take them out. They might have. You know what I mean?
SPEAKER_01So like you don't think.
SPEAKER_03Because you can't have teams that can recruit from all over the world because they got kids from overseas. Then come back and play against a regular high school. Totally. Times unchanged, man. You just gotta have two brackets for that stuff, man. Yeah, that's what they're gonna do. Yeah, they gotta do that. You can't do that, man. There's no way, bro. There's no way you can do it. Like there's they want five straight. They got NBA kids on their teens. They probably gonna win it again this year. And they got three seven-footers. Three. So how you gonna get a rebound?
SPEAKER_01Coach, and like all of them start.
SPEAKER_03So you should have put me on this style, man. Damn. So they they had the booze of twins. They win right when they let they won four straight with them, they come back winning. When they leave, everybody talking about they weren't gonna win it. They probably unless the rebel, let's the Oak Ridge might win it.
SPEAKER_01Nah, coach, I'm gonna tell you why, coach, because they they doggone school invest in their athletics.
SPEAKER_03Oh yeah, they don't invest in them athletics, bro.
SPEAKER_01Nah. Mean uh me and another coach had that conversation yesterday, man, about how how how like hard it is to get uh doggone support of uh athletics here in Volusia County. But it is what it is, man.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, it's hard, coaches gotta be.
SPEAKER_01Because I saw the coach from the old coach from Andrew Jackson. He's now the coach at uh Oakley.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_01And they asked him, like, um why is he coaching Oakley? Why he leave and he got back into coaching coach. He said, Because Duball County don't put money into the into athletics. He said, but you spend 90% of your time raising money.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, you gotta have the brandy, because you don't got the money. That ain't really what what can you really do? Because everything costs. Summer league costs, fall league, team counts. And Riddle won't sit hundreds apart to get enough girl.
SPEAKER_01Coach, you ain't play that, huh?
unknownCoach.
SPEAKER_01Nah, so come on, Coach, man. Let's get into the summer league stuff, man. Let's get into your my top five boys. To your uh top four. No, we're gonna go with the girls first.
SPEAKER_03The girls, okay, let them do my the girls. Or obviously NSB, they number one. They way ahead of everybody else.
SPEAKER_01So they got the most talent, because they're gonna be good. They got everybody's kids around here. They supposed to have them. Nah, because stop it. I remember two years ago, you with NSB through and through. Now that you're a girl.
SPEAKER_03Oh no, the girl goes to my niece is gone now, so I don't know.
SPEAKER_01So you got Delphine down there?
SPEAKER_03Nah, she's coming to C Breed Cup. You gotta go play for an uncle. Get the green light. Try to average 20 a game as a freshman. On the road to glory. You know how it goes. Uh-huh. You know how it goes. So NSB, everybody knows that. That's all they were talking about how good NSB was in the summer league. They just got to put it together and they'll be good now. And still, they was good last year. You never know, man. That's why you play the games, like they say, right? That's why you gotta play the games. Yeah. But all the other teams really was even around him when I was just watching the summer league. You know, some was a little better because they had a probably a year or two on another program. But then D-Lay, because I heard they got a little good little squad over there. Not no more.
SPEAKER_01Then they ain't got no coach.
SPEAKER_03Oh, yeah, I did hear that. So that might, some of them girls probably done left then, huh?
SPEAKER_01Yeah. I don't even know who coaching out there no more. I know that I know the coach left.
SPEAKER_03Oh, then I had Pine Ridge. I seen Pine Ridge play. So I had NSB, I had D-Land, Pine Ridge, Mainland and Del Tona. I don't know what that's like. Yeah, Pine Ridge is too. I seen Pine Ridge too. They was in the summer league. So, you know, so you know, that's who I had with the girls. Got Mainland in there. I ain't have us or Creek in there, because you know, I ain't I seen Creek and you know, we ain't we ain't really have nothing. But you know, if if if the Creek keep all those girls that was there, then they they probably go up in the rankings, but you just heard someone was leaving and all that stuff.
SPEAKER_01But this is my whole thing. And so I got to give it to you like this. How you don't, how you don't put your girls in there?
SPEAKER_03Just because I think, you know, right now my my my foot really ain't been on the on the gas pedal with them yet. You get what I'm saying? Like when it comes to uh coaching, but code, when schools start, we can go from Rank to being like right there, like right when I get on it, but right now I ain't really putting this there because I gotta we got something we have to work on. And I have to get all of them there at the same time.
SPEAKER_01And see, that's my whole thing. I don't remember who told me just like, but it was some to the fact that if like you don't believe in your team, then who going to? Because we number one. It is you know what I'm saying? We may not be, but I'm gonna I'm gonna make my kids feel like we number one.
SPEAKER_03Coach, listen to what I'm telling you. Everybody has not been there. Remember I told you that. So when you see something, you just seeing 30%, 40%. You ain't seeing everybody. Get what I'm saying? One of the better girls never played in the summer league. You see what I'm saying? So nobody knows that. And I know she's one of the better players on the team. See what I'm saying? And then I got two, three athletic girls that was coming to workouts that couldn't play because they go on vacation. You understand? And they play exactly how I want to play. So, you know, when we had 100%, then we'll we'll shoot up the rankings. I promise you that. Y'all can be all right, Uncle. Yeah, we're gonna be all right. That's what I'm trying to tell you. But yeah, I mean, it's NSB, then it's like everybody else around, you know, they probably gonna win five stars. Everybody else kind of like the same. Yes, but it's gonna be good games. You get what I'm saying? So you might when we play Atlantic first, no, I didn't really see their team. I know they got the one big girl that's real good, but I don't know if those other girls, because she played, because uh they would that the Atlantic girl team wasn't in the summer league, so I couldn't see them play. Now, if they was um, if that was the team, the storm team was their team, then they'll be a good little team, but I don't think that's their team, though.
SPEAKER_01Cole, are you on your phone or are you on your iPad? I'm on my phone. Oh, God. I'm about to screen it. What happened? I'm gonna screenshot you, son. Oh, God. You got to glance at it real quick. You can't say nothing.
SPEAKER_02I ain't gonna say that, Cut.
SPEAKER_01You got to glance at it. Lord.
SPEAKER_02Let me see, Coach. Oh, dude. Did you send it to me? Yeah, I just sent it. Let me see, Coach. Hold up, hold up.
SPEAKER_01Don't read it. I'm not. I sent you two things. I sent you the one about Bobby Hurley, his documentary, but then I just sent you something else.
SPEAKER_03Coach, what I tell you, man. Come on, coach. Coach, come on, man. Coach, owe me your boy. Coach, own your boy now. Remember, I told you that. I ain't gonna say nothing else. I'm not in the coach. Coach, I'm your boy now. Remember that now. Remember that. Coach, in them trenches. I've been in these trenches. Coach, the best thing I done did the last really six, seven years. And you know this. I coached boys and I coached girls. You see how it works? Cole, now ain't anybody to answer that chat. Okay. Oh no, you're gonna ask me when we get off. I'll publish that. Yeah, I'll publish that. But Coach, yeah, that's the little girls, you know, NSB, you know, hopefully they go far. You know, because I do rock when there's my city. Get what I'm saying? I always want them to do good, except when they play us. You get what I'm saying? Hopefully, Coach Patrick, you know, she be there. Get another state championship out of uh, you know, I always want them to be successful.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_03Um see, I sound like a coach, not on them. See that? You like that, don't you? Listen, you can do your. But really, one of my goals, though, is to run down on them in the five-star championship just to see where I'm at.
SPEAKER_01So, listen, you can talk your Denzel Washington to everybody else. I know better. You know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_03You only people that know that Denzel is you and Joe. That Denzel Washington, dog. I know. Coach, I can't, I got two Academy Awards, coaches. I got two now. I'm telling you that right now. For real. But no, that's just all that. That's that was my top five for the girls. You know, I think we'll end up being in there. Mainly might be able to go up to if they get who I think they're gonna get it. They might be able to go up. I like I like the main coach Pine Ridge. I think those Galaxy girls went to Pine Ridge now.
SPEAKER_01No, it's the uh Galaxy coaches, Del Tona Girls who.
SPEAKER_03But I ain't seen Del Tono, but I seen Pine Ridge girls at the good, too. They said it was a good one.
SPEAKER_01Well, you remember Del Tona Girls was the one that made the daggone district last year.
SPEAKER_03I know, Coach. And Coach, you know how that portal, that portal, coach. That portal with girls, man. If all the girls was at where they supposed to be at, coach, you know how competitive these girls' games would be around here, boy? That'll be good. That'll be good, coach. But you know that's the generation. The portal, transfer portal generation, you know. That's what goes on. But I think that's dying down a little bit now, though. So that's my girls then. I'm gonna do my boys who I seen. That's who I see now. And what I know. What I seen or what I know, the top four boys, summer league, summertime. Top four or top five? Top five. So don't go on with what I seen. Okay. Now this is my list. Now y'all know I gotta keep it real with my boys now. I think Pine Ridge, I think I seen a couple jits on the IG that they added to their team. I think they're gonna be good. I know they lost a jit. They say one of them just I went to Newsom Runner or Zapman got one out the portal. He just got an offer too. Huh? He just got an offer too. Oh, yeah, that's good. But they say Zach got one out the portal. But uh Pine Ridge, then I'm gonna go. Oh, this is this. I'll I'll call the girls and I'll just Zap done got on one. So uh I mean that's gonna be a good game. But somebody got to sit down there. Yeah. Oh, that's tough. But Creek, I watched Creek play. Creek been in the trenches, they've been in the cut. You won't code. I'm telling you, I'm telling you now. I just saw here, I was over there five years. I helped put all that together. We just had a down year based off of some transfers and some other stuff. But really, we sort of been rocking and rolling like everything. 17 and 10 had a back year this year, but it was set up. And I they got a lot of jits coming back.
SPEAKER_01Listen, let me tell you why it wasn't set up. It's because y'all tried to big time me. If y'all wouldn't have big time me and y'all would have played me, we'd have been good. But y'all tried to big time me last year.
SPEAKER_03Oh, so that was you that was telling them kids to transfer. Uh what's my name? That was that was you then. You don't see how the young coach, you can't tell on yourself on the that was you then. That wasn't me. So we were 17 and 10, playing for the district. We thought we were gonna have if we would have bring Vakiz, Devon, and Mike back, because we would have won, we would have gone to the Final Four. But it didn't happen. And so then you had to die. But I know what's at the school, and I know the experience. I know they bringing a lot of Jits back that was on that team or in that program, and I seen them play. And they added um Coach T T over there with them. And who to transfer? Oh, it's a it's a it's a it's a shooter that came, but I think what I what I what I was most impressed by when I watched him, and Coach Dane have, he's gonna play. Then the other two coming from football, they're gonna play. But what I was really most impressed about, they defense, the toughness, and I don't want to put no pressure on them or nothing like that, but TT being over there with Keevey, he's playing at a whole different level.
SPEAKER_01Because I was about to ask you, see, like, see, like, you know, because I always knew that y'all, well, not y'all, because you know, you over there with us now, but like the one thing that they always had over there was size, right?
SPEAKER_03Yeah, size, though.
SPEAKER_01So, like, one of the things that always kind of made me a little iffy about you guys was the guard play. I was gonna ask you about what the guard play looked like. Because you know high school basketball, you gotta have some guards.
SPEAKER_03I think they got dumb. He he came back, he thought about going somewhere else, but he came back. He he's gonna help, but Kiwi, Kiwi might. Well, I can't wait to get to these players before the preseason, but I think when I was watching Kiwi play with TT over there.
SPEAKER_01Just know where they're gonna be at November 30th.
SPEAKER_03That's all you need to know. Coach, do we I don't think I got a game November 30th? November 30th. So that's gonna be that's why I had Creek at two. Now I'm gonna give you one. I'm gonna give you one. I'm gonna get Atlantic. You know what I mean? I'm gonna get Atlantic. You know, guess what?
SPEAKER_01Got some kids over there, Coach. He got some kids. Travis got kids over there.
SPEAKER_03I think he's losing losing a lot of size. Losing a lot of size, a lot of size. I seen one. They got beat by Armatanners in the summer league. I was seeing it. You've seen it too. Um, so they lost a lot of size. They lost not, co. They lost 90%. I don't want to say 90. I'll say about 80%, about 80%, co. That's a lot to lose. So, you know, they might go down a little bit, but they got they got they got Varquise over there. He still can play. And they got Manny.
SPEAKER_01He beat the I Gym, though.
SPEAKER_03Huh?
SPEAKER_01You be in he be in that other gym.
SPEAKER_03Damn, Vakise should have stayed up. That would have anyway. I'm over there with the girl side. But he um but I got Atlantic. Then I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go with Calvary. Because I seen Calvary. I was surprised. They out they sold out of the bone got it, Bone got it going over there. Calvary looked good when they was playing Atlantic.
SPEAKER_01Nah, they play hard.
SPEAKER_03And they said they was missing two jits too now.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, nah, they play hard.
SPEAKER_03You told me that before I seen them play. You told me that.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, they played.
SPEAKER_03Tell Bone, let's play. Get that one game with them. We come over to play the girls. Let's do it like that at that way. Huh? We got them on senior night. Tail was night, let's get what let's see if the girls want to come here. Oh, no, that's the senior night. We should do both our seniors like that. Yeah, let's tell it about that thing. I see if what's the night wanna play like Chris? We can see we do it like that.
SPEAKER_01No, no, Coach, Coach, because it was crazy with that, man. So, like, so like with Bone and those guys, I called Bone. Hey man, you want to get a game? That joke text me back immediately.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, he ain't gonna back.
SPEAKER_01And it was funny though, because the next time I saw him, I said, yo, man, what you got going on over there? You weren't supposed to text me back that quick. I seen him. Nah, you know he got a little P nah. Coach, that's come from Coach. I text that fool. Normally take up a date and text me back. That fool hit me back the same day.
SPEAKER_03We gotta try to get it like that. We're gonna get we're gonna call it the battle of Ormond. I'm gonna get a little trophy, maybe we start to start our own.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, let's do it.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, we can do that. Then I got y'all because y'all want additional. Y'all bringing everybody back, but it's just you don't want to play in the area.

SPEAKER_03Y'all know Joe got a thousand kids up there, man. That's M block, no. But I ain't have Mainland on that because I ain't really I've seen that A got so many kids, I don't know what he's gonna do yet. No, he's gonna hide it till the last minute.
SPEAKER_01Coach, I'm a firm believer. Iron sharpened iron. We're gonna play.
SPEAKER_03Let's get that. We should do that with the girls and the stuff at mainland too. Tell Joe to play. Let's get it going. I ain't I told you, you gotta be, it gotta be across the border, though.
SPEAKER_01Man, Joe, don't want to come over there, man. They're gonna come here and play.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, I feel slow, man. Z I probably gotta have scheduled. They don't want to get there. I don't dunk nobody. We gotta start doing the getting the crop. Yeah, so that's you know, that was mine. I had Pine Ridge, you know, I had Creek, Atlantic, Calvary. I put y'all last. You know what I'm saying? Well, I put us last. I don't want to put that pressure on the boys, man, like that.
SPEAKER_01Coach, how you put us last? No, Coach, we throw out them. I told you though. Last time I was with my boys, I told them.
SPEAKER_03Coach, but when you walk around like, like, you know what I mean, you gotta keep them hungry a little bit. It's different, though.
SPEAKER_01No, Coach, I am feeding them and I'm making them hungry for us to want to be the best. We're gonna work like we the best. And I told my kids I look right in their face. That district chamber.
SPEAKER_03So y'all finna paint the City Red again then.

SPEAKER_01In school, we're gonna be going to go. First game of shooting, we're going to Atlantic. Then we go to Del Tona on Friday. And then we play Creek.
SPEAKER_03Oh, now you gotta. Now Del Tona and um and university are gonna be a little bit better. They're gonna be a little bit better. Because they break out. They were so young last year, they bring it. Even though if they ain't some of them ain't got out the portal and left, but they gonna they gonna they're gonna have something to do to say. So they might be able to do that.
SPEAKER_01Everybody's gonna be better.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, everybody's gonna be better. It's it's it's even not with them boarding now.
SPEAKER_01But but for you to have us five is freaking diabolical, dog.
SPEAKER_03Coach, the fans like me on the show because I tell the truth. I'm not on here PC like everybody else you be having on the show, man. That's what y'all five, because I'm trying to keep the kids motivated, man. I don't want y'all to get out there and think y'all the best and y'all start losing games, then you start talking about the referees and stuff. Because you ain't never heard we mess with referees. Coach, y'all had two referees. You did say that in the playoff game.
SPEAKER_01Oh, we had two referees. But I didn't tell you they called the bad game. You just can't play my game like that.
SPEAKER_03Coach, I oughta put I wouldn't have played until the referee got there. Then they really would have cheated then. You would've bit timed them like that.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, coach.
SPEAKER_03I'm saying like playing to the thorough realm, they really would have got you then.
SPEAKER_01Coach, I just want coach because like when I watched them on film, I said, we can still beat these dudes. Coach, we lost by four. Oh wow. We made some costly mistakes down the stretch, but we should have beat them. Even with the two referees.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, yeah. And y'all bringing everybody back. That's my top five, is my top five, is not yours, man. Give me your little five, man. Who you don't see? Don't put y'all one, Cole. Don't do the.

I think targeted the best. I don't know. Creek big as a hell, Coach. And they good, coach. I'm just telling what I see. Now I don't know if it falls off, it falls off. But I'm just telling you what I see. So remember I told you that now. How we've been laying low. So like I don't know. So Coach, we try to talk to him every day, and we talked about some stuff, and I said, you know, sometimes it's best to get out the way.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. You gotta give a podcast so I can talk our game up. You gotta stop running for me.
SPEAKER_03Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm gonna talk me and Coach Zar game up once she gone. We're gonna beat Maylon, though.
SPEAKER_01Well, let's see. Um, then Naylon and you know, Harry Robinson is arguably the best player in the area.
SPEAKER_03Coach, they bring a lot of they got that jit with the afro that's coming back too, that light-skinned boy five now. You triple that boy five. He played for him last. I think it was in 19th grade, the legit light-skinned jet. He's big.
SPEAKER_01Oh, you thought about the one from Lake Mary?
SPEAKER_03Yeah. No. He was from Lake Mary too. The other one was too. Oh, yeah, he's tough, Co. Oh, that rank that that player ranking is gonna be that's that's gonna be tough for that season, Conco. Put in that top 15, Co. The top 10. We doing top 10, we ain't doing 15 jits no more. We're doing 10 jits, man. You don't make the digital one good enough.
SPEAKER_01Well, we got what we doing. So we got so nah. We had Tree, Mainland, Pine Reed. If I'm being a buck, though, Mayland gonna always be one for me because like nobody has beat them in an area and we continue. Long time.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, they won't be the one I was over there, they won't beat us either.
SPEAKER_01Until somebody beat them. They number one.
SPEAKER_03Mainly, you're right, you gotta keep it a buck. We keep it a buck on this podcast. We keep it a buck on our podcast.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, they're number one. Um I think if you look at the if you look at the more the uh the uh most dominant player in the area.
SPEAKER_02Henry.
SPEAKER_01No, not to me, it's Manny.
SPEAKER_03Ah, they just too small, Coach.
SPEAKER_01No, no, no, I'm talking about the most dominant player, so I'm based on the player for me.
SPEAKER_03Coach, and I've seen them, I seen them play. Then it's summer league. So I'm just looking, I'm being objective. They just too small, Coach.
SPEAKER_01So with that, so you're talking about, so then it's Henry. I personally, nah, this is real, this is real still right here, Coach. I'm being one of the honest. I think that we are the most balanced team. Like, like when you look at the whole team collectively, yeah, our team is better because of the chemistry and because of the other stuff.
SPEAKER_03Man, so mainly who too, man.
SPEAKER_01I'll go, I'll go Atlantic because they got the most dominant kids.
SPEAKER_03Okay, coach. Now okay, mainly, Atlanta. That's that's fine. I can see that.
SPEAKER_01And now Pine Rage, because Pine Rage got the best. I mean, you know, Manny the most dominant, but Henry is the best.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. Then who you got? That's three. Then who you got, I want to see some.
SPEAKER_01But I have to go us because we're the more we are the more the most complete team.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, so it's mainland, Atlanta, Pine Rage, C Bridge, then who else? Who that fifth by? Ooh. Ooh, that's gonna be interesting. You better listen to what I told you now.
SPEAKER_01Um people are not gonna like see, I actually like the kid. I actually like the kid from um New Yeah, from New Furna. I like the Jack and Kids. That's just that's just me. Jackson can play.
SPEAKER_03I seen them play in the summer though. Um they lost it.
SPEAKER_01So I like it.
SPEAKER_03So you gonna go NSB then? Okay.
SPEAKER_01No, I'm not gonna go NSB. I'll probably I'm telling you what I seen. It's kind of hard for me to say, Creek, because I have not seen them at all. Like, honestly, Coach, like it's hard for me to say them. Coach, listen to what I'm telling you.
SPEAKER_03Coach, listen to what I'm telling you. Sometimes it's best to stay out the way.
SPEAKER_01Absolutely.
SPEAKER_03And I'm telling you the size, everything, the experience, everything.
SPEAKER_01Why do you think we stayed out the way?
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_01I love them. You ain't gotta be, you ain't gotta pop up on the scene.
SPEAKER_03Who you going, NSB or Creek? Now we're gonna sit up. Who you going, NSB or Creek? I seen NSB play. But they adding that jit too now.
SPEAKER_01I'm going neither. I'm going FPC. I go FPC.
SPEAKER_03Damn, I tried they girls too, then. I'm finna take what's the name about them girls. I'll play them. I'm finna take them out. They're gonna take that person. Let me take that out.

SPEAKER_03I'm finna take Dell Tone, I'm finna take, not Dell Tone, I'm finna take Pine Red drop for the girls and put LPC girls. I forgot, my bad. We played them this year. I want them to take it easy on us.
SPEAKER_01Nah, Coach, I'll go F I go FPC because they got some athletes.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, coach. And he already's doing. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01And then, Coach, they're like JB was killing teams last year. Like, they, Coach, they JB beat us by 50.
SPEAKER_03Coach, we know we beat them. No, we didn't butt them. We lost by like three. Huh? Did we beat them? No, they beat us. They beat us too by like 12. You're right. Oh, they ran up the first game with the season. I only lost three. I only lost one game when I was coaching. Yeah, Coach. Dang, so you got that makes sense. You got mainly, Atlanta, Pine Ridge, Seabridge, LPC. That makes sense, though. Nah.
SPEAKER_01I like Matanzas too. Because Matanzas has great guard play. But see, Coach, you know what we left out? We left out Lil Fez. Lil Fez got a great transfer over there.
SPEAKER_03Oh, that was a, yeah, that was a big time move. That was a big time transfer for them. Lopez still gotta prove it, though. They still gotta prove it a little bit. They gotta prove it a little bit, though. Because like when they played y'all, y'all beat them by like 20, 30. They beat us, but our season was just over by then. You know what I mean?
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_03So they gotta prove it. They gotta prove it. They gotta come out the game. Who they what they schedule looking like? They gotta play some teams around here. You got a dog at the point. Huh? I play him every year. Yeah. They gotta, they gotta, they gotta beat somebody. I mean, they beat us at the end of the season, but I think that's our second to last game. But our season was already over by the end. Yeah. So, but they did get a dog, though. They did get a dog. He's good.
SPEAKER_01I don't know what else they got over there. He must got something for him to go over there. So there must be some other dudes over there. But I like Matanzas because I like it.
SPEAKER_03He would have stayed at Matanzas, though. Oh my God. Oh Matanz got bad luck, man. You know they had Harry, Alex, Alex. They had him. Because they got Matanzas, brother Alex. Matanzas got bad luck, dog. Mattanz got bad luck, though. They had all them at that school. Within the last four years, that's crazy. Yeah, they just lost one. So your top five is great. I think mine does.
SPEAKER_01And see, Coach, like, Coach, like, I actually hear you talking when you're talking about Creek, but it's hard for me to say because I have not seen him.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, Cody, still. I'm gonna tell you what I seen.
SPEAKER_01I don't know. I haven't seen it. But you're right, though. That's what it is. Sometimes you gotta be out of sight, out of sight, out of mind.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, then Coach Howard get his team back, like we were talking on the phone every day. You're talking about gave him his team back.
SPEAKER_01Oh no, Coach. Coach, I told him that when I saw him, the last time I saw him, I said, hey man, you ought to be thanking me. He's like, what are you talking about? I said, yo, man, I got your team back for you, dog. I was over the starbox.

SPEAKER_03He did. He let me do a lot. I fuck with Kohal. Yeah, that's the real Kohau.
SPEAKER_01Nah. But you know, um, so I don't know. Um, because it's hard to say for me how good, because like like I said, I haven't seen him at all. The last time I talked to him was he asked me about if there were some tournaments that uh they can go to, and then I gave him a little bit that I had.
SPEAKER_03So I Coach, they're gonna be, Coach, they're gonna be out. Yeah, with Kevin, Nelly, Logan, Carson.
SPEAKER_01No, but see, but coach, somebody told me that Big Fellow's not playing.
SPEAKER_03Coach, he's gonna play.
SPEAKER_01Coach, coach. So his mom and daddy told me they want him to do internships and stuff.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, and you shouldn't be a doctor, Coach. But when school starts, Coach, last year you don't play three years, it's gonna be hard for kids not to do that. Because school year, you still gotta go to school. So you gotta have something to do. You know what I mean? Because you can't go to the internship during the school week. Quote, quote, quote, quote. That man probably.
SPEAKER_01Are you gonna be a doctor now? So yeah, I can't. But I'm like, hey, that man probably got every credit he needs at the school. He might be only playing, he might be only at school for four periods of day.
SPEAKER_03He's gonna play, Cobra. He's gonna play. Trust me. Him, Kevin, them coming up that football field six, five, boy, they gonna, yeah. I seen them now. When they add those three, four, five football. That's just you know, they gonna be good. Partly, you know, because I'm a good GM. Get what I'm saying? So, but we gonna beat them when they come play up. We gotta be at that game. You gotta get Howard on. We can talk trying to get that game. We gotta get our student session ready for that game, because when they come now, come.
SPEAKER_01Howard ain't gonna talk no trial. Yeah, he will. You know all y'all, all y'all Volusia County guys, we so modest. Yeah, we're gonna be okay.
SPEAKER_03Because we gotta get Zara on next week, man. We're gonna tell Zara to get on if I can build up our mailing girls game. Get that rivalry going. Are you playing them this year? Yeah, we playing them. Remember the coach Kesal, remember? Oh, yeah, yeah, she got to shoot you up. Yeah, we're gonna play. We coming to them, too. We're coming in all black. So Bainham, we're gonna beat them and get out of there. And when we beat them, we're gonna slap the little old court backboard and go in the locker room and get out of them.
SPEAKER_01Because they gonna jump on them, little girl. Don't do that to them girls.
SPEAKER_03It's rivalry, it's a rivalry, because they know that. They hunger for that. They like that stuff. I think the kids like stuff like that more so than the grown-ups think they don't like it. Them kids like that stuff, cool. They like that. Do you guys think the last couple years, man, the atmosphere's been a bit game? A lot of crowds been at the games now. We gotta keep it going, man. On way to keep it going, talk a little trash. You know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_01Uh-uh. And they personal it's all funny, man.
SPEAKER_03No, it's not. Our team ain't talking trash. Our team ain't gonna talk trash to a news and room.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, because they're gonna be they're gonna be belt the ass in them, these girls around here, dog. Ain't nobody playing them, nobody.
SPEAKER_03They might not gotta see. They might not gotta come out. Thanks Zosh, you might try to play on, you know. Nah, coach, Coach, you gotta play, you gotta see. I'm trying to run down on them in the five-star, though. Hopefully, I get them in the five-star championship at noon tomorrow. I think I'll like that. We'll be ready by then. We gotta play, coach. Listen, man. I can't play that, not yet.
SPEAKER_01We gotta play, coach. You gotta see.
SPEAKER_03I'm gonna get up. Wait until I get a couple out that portable then I'm gonna play.
SPEAKER_01You gotta see. But Coco, we always say it's a long time.
SPEAKER_03Till November.
SPEAKER_01Till November. October 26th. It's a long time, Coach.
SPEAKER_03It's a long time. So you gotta make sure. Like you say, you gotta make sure. You never know, Coco. When them kids start to see that writing on that wall.
unknownSee.
SPEAKER_03Like I say, I'll say this again. You can't travel all over the United States playing travel ball and come back and average three points again.
SPEAKER_01See, because I'm different. See, because that was something else that I had. That was something else that I had actually put on there, man. Like, as coaches, man, we have to start back taking control over, you know, what's going on around here, man. Like, right now, it's the kids are in control. And it shouldn't be that way.
SPEAKER_03Like, no, coach, I think, I think. It was a couple years ago when you were saying that the kids want to go play with their friends, right? But what I'm learning, from what I learned from the summer league, and just being on the girls' side of things and just observing and listening and having conversations, Coach, a lot of the parents are the dumb ones and don't know. But that's what I'm saying. See, that's what I'm saying. So, like, but coach, a lot of them, you can't tell them you can't tell them nothing because they don't believe you. You gotta think of I I'm sitting in the gym and just talking to people, and these are just parents, man. And I know for sure, hell I don't think a lot of the coaches didn't know more about basketball than me. So I know the parents don't, but they put they put them down like they know more than me. That's why I just sit back and just listen. Once they say that they know more than you, it it you gotta sit back and let and let whatever happened happen. You can thank your kids finna do this and do that and do that and do this. It ain't gonna happen like that, bro. You gotta understand how to get to college.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_03You got to understand how to get to college. You see what I'm saying? Don't think because you hear here, that means you gonna go too. That don't mean that, bro. That don't mean that, no. Cause all the kids that was going to school is on that court playing all the minutes. Boys and girls. Yeah. Think about all the kids that's going to school to community schools and going to college. They was playing all the minutes on their teams.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I agree. But see the thing. They were playing all the minutes. But the thing is for me, man, so like when I say like the parents and the kids are controlling, like, because we allow kids, like, kind of like prior to us getting on and kind of we were talking beforehand, like we got kids that'll wait until the very last minute until they want to transfer over. But us as coaches, we won't say no. But I promise you, Coach James, Coach Ray Gaines gonna say no. You can't come over here.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_01You know what I'm saying? All right, so now you want to come over here because you can't play over there.
SPEAKER_03Coach, listen, listen to me. I promise you, I'm gonna say You heard me say this, you heard me say this. If you, if you're a girl, if you don't come now, cannot come because we so young and we'll bring all but one, maybe two girls back, then you definitely can't come. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. That's fast. And I guess what I go through the first year. I go through the first year when I'm gonna go. Yeah, you gotta kick them up. But boy, if everybody comes back, and then you cannot come then. And but that's when someone's gonna try to come. And they can't come, bro. That's I'm you see what I'm saying. You can't come then. You don't come this year, you can't come, bro.
SPEAKER_01You actually said it um in the beginning of the podcast before we press record, that jokes that play fall league with their team and do all running around, and then October 26th is the first day of practice. You want to show up to me at October 20th. Can't do it. Can't you do it, call it? Because I can't.

I'm going to play in Jacksonville on August 29th. Yeah. And whoever we have during that time, that's it. That's it. Because now we're trying to figure out what we want to do.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, Cody, we you know the little summer look, come on and down, the little summer top five, recapping. The portal always opened at the summertime, and then it's gonna open up right before fall or right after fall. But I already know what I'm doing with my program, what I'm trying to build. Because if they can't come, they can't come because I know I got two, three coming next year. That's like, like, come on, bro. Like, you can't come. And I know how the game goes around here. No. Gotta come now. Better go try to call get in C Breeze Nut because you ain't gonna be the top with no girl. Co, you know I really do this basketball stuff. You know, I break down the classes, the grades, all that.

SPEAKER_01We got so many kids, and so it's so competitive, and you know, you know, people may think that, you know, we don't have all the the top flight kids, but we got kids that that want to get better.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_01All you need, man. I can make it work with that. I've been known to make I've been known to make guys that were not the best kids and to the best kids. Like yeah, like we always go back to that county when I had ruined all them boys. Them boys will make them win.
SPEAKER_03We have to be able to be coached and be in a position where somebody co-signs you. You understand what I'm saying? No doubt. For real. Who's promoting you? That's what it's all about. Now, N-I-L, name image, like the who rocking with my kid. You see what I'm saying? Yeah. And sometimes going to play on the best team don't mean you finna understand.
SPEAKER_01I agree.
SPEAKER_03I don't want to play on over there a thousand kids over here. I want to go where there ain't no kids at.

Yeah, man, just keep you know, you you know, because you know you're having to meet a kid will say, Well, well, you know, what can I do to get more playing time? You know, we're gonna do that coach talk. Just keep working hard, keep playing. That's a lie. Listen, it's a lie. It don't work like that, man.
