Final hour on this Tuesday, Reggie Miller will stop by. He's all fired up. Got strong opinion on Dan Hurley, also the meltdown by Duke. And he wants to tell us who his MVP is this year. That will be in about 20 minutes from now. This weekend, NBC and Peacock, PGA tour. It's TPC San Antonio. The Valero Texas Open coverage begins Saturday at 330 Eastern, followed by the final round on Sunday at 230 on NBC and Peacock, which is where you can see this program. Thank you for downloading the app. We say good morning to our radio affiliates around the country. I heart radio, Fox Sports Radio, as well. Seaton, pull question for the final hour of this previously award-nominated program.

Please say good morning, everybody. We've got two up there right now. How present will Tiger Woods be at the Masters? 75% of the audience say he won't be there at all. Just 10% say that he'll play. Decent amount of people say he might be there for some events. I think that's kind of where he's going. I think it's going to show up. But yeah, the things he has to do. Final four betting lines. The Illinois is now two and a half over Yukon was one and a half yesterday and Michigan against Arizona. Michigan is still favored by one and a half. 8773DP show operator Tyler sitting by. He'll take your phone calls. The NFL league meetings are going on as we speak. And it was a year ago at this time, we were talking about the Tush push. And I thought they were going to eliminate it because the Eagles winning a Super Bowl, nobody can stop it. Nobody wants to see it. And then all of a sudden, they were worried about player safety,

the aesthetics of the game. You know, they were giving you all kinds of building reasons why they had to get rid of this play. Haven't heard much about the Tush push, have you? Eagles don't win the Super Bowl. All of sudden defenses doing a little better job in stopping. Jalen Hertz coming off the edge, making sure they get a good pop on him. They're not even voting on it this year. What happened about the safety of the game? They were trying to make up something. Last year, it was the topic at the NFL owner's meetings. This year, not of people. It's a topic that is not a topic at the NFL owner's meetings, but it's because they know it's here. Maybe it's not going to be used as much. Maybe defenses have figured it out a little bit more so than when we first saw this. But they were trying to get information on player safety and there wasn't anything there. They were trying to make up something to get rid

of the play. Oh, aesthetically, and you're right aesthetically, it's not pleasing, but the Eagles figured out something before anybody else did. I can't penalize them because they figured out something and you didn't. Now you need to figure out something and see what the Eagles do. But the percentage of push pushes and success are down. Therefore, nobody's worried about ruining the integrity of the game. I can't even watch that push push. But if the Eagles had won the Super Bowl this past year, the push push would be on the agenda. You imagine the Eagles win the Super Bowl on a push push. Oh, my God. People will be apoplectic over there. Yes, Pauline. I have a couple other things that the committee will vote on this coming week. The first one is off the on-site kick. The original rule in 2024 limited on-site kicks to only the fourth quarter when a team is trailing and they have to announce it, which is almost shocking that they made this

rule. This new tweak would say you could do the on-site kick at any point during the game. Now, it doesn't say you have to declare. I think you still have to declare because the other team lines up one way, you line up one way. So it could be at any point during the game. Not a surprise, but better. And the other rule would be, they're calling this one no offense, the DK Metcalf rule. If a player on the sidelines gets into an altercation with a fan like DK Metcalf didn't, I think that was Detroit. He did not get penalized because the refs on the field didn't see that. If the sky judge sees something like this, the player could be ejected from the game or penalized. That's on the on the books to vote on. Okay. Yes, Todd. I'm with Paul. Any rule we have to share your strategy. That is just insane. How did that ever, how was that ever a thing? That's like, I'm throwing a fastball here or we're going to pass some throwing a screen pass. Just want to let you know. Yeah, just get rid of it. I got, I mean, I know you want the on-site kick there,

but the fact that I have to tell you what's happening and even the movement on the on-site kick, they don't want collisions. I understand that. That's tough in football. Yes. It is a violent sport. I know they don't want it to be even more violent, but the hey, we're going to do an on-site kick. I don't know. One of the greatest plays in Super Bowl history on-site kick by the scenes. Yes, Paul. Here's the issue. The new dynamic kickoff has one lineup, one setup, and when you declare for an on-site kick, it's a completely different setup. So you have to have the declaration because they know what you're doing, but there's no talk about them getting rid of the on-site. Even though the percentage, I think, is 4% we're converted. Okay, the touch push isn't aesthetically pleasing. Neither is this on-site kick formation. It's not aesthetically pleasing. I mean, I'll take the regular kickoff. All right. We've gotten used to it. We get some movement there. We've had some, you know, returns. Percentages are up for the returns there. Yes, Paul. I have a solution,

as I always do. Good idea, bad idea. You want to cut down on collision or people getting collided into on an on-site kick. One defender, one return guy. Those are the only two people in the play. The kicker kicks it and whoever gets it. You cut down on people getting hit. It's just two dudes. But the field's too big for that one guy. Good times, though. Yeah. The NFL league meetings, though, I think they wrap up today. But I don't think anything is front and center on the agenda. Feels like it's global domination. The flag football is still a big deal because that can give you global entry into certain countries that aren't ready to have tackle football. Having the infrastructure for that, having the equipment for that, you can play flag football. These NFL teams are going to have their countries. Maybe they play their games there. Maybe there's flag football game that's played prior to the NFL game. There's a lot of different things that the

NFL is trying to do. And, you know, games all, you know, every day of the week, now we're going to Australia. I mean, we're going to the four corners. Is it the four corners of the earth? Checking. You just want to make sure that's the same. Okay. Yeah. Didn't know how many quarters there are and I check corners. There are no corners. There are no corners on the earth. Yeah. And like, unless you're a flat earther, that's you're a globus. Yeah. And there's no corners. But didn't one of the astronauts send a picture? Somebody sent a picture recently just to say if you're a flat earther, this should change all of that. The picture that was sent. I'm like, I don't know. I never understood that with flat earthers. Like, what happens when you get to the end of the earth? Remember, we had this discussion. What is the town that's on the edge? Yeah. Yeah. Seat. The internet is loaded with videos of people attempting to prove the earth is flat and only proving that it's round. And it's, they're the best videos to watch because they're like,

see, I'm telling you, when you've fired this like laser, it's going to go straight on forever. And they're like, Jimmy, you should be able to see that. You're so far away. And they're like, I can't see and be like, all right, we'll move it up a little bit, move it up a little bit, move it up. Oh, that's weird. I guess the only way that could happen is if the earth is round. It's the best of the best videos. But who came to the conclusion? And then others go, man, you're right. Yes, Todd. Is there any, has anyone ever fallen off like a cliff, the edge of the earth? Like, you could be in the back of a supermarket and you go a little past the parking lot and you just fall forever out the end. What do you think? I'm going to say no. So I don't know what are these flat earthers are showing, unless you have evidence of at least one person physically falling off the earth when it comes to an end, if it's like a square. Whatever you do, when you're at Whole Foods, don't go out the back door because then you're going to fall off my broccoli. Yeah, awesome. Yes, we are about to get just a day loose of staying your lane. I know content right now. I know. I stay in my lane when I go around the globe. You can stay in that lane all the way. I can keep going around and around and around.

Yes, yes, fully. I look back at this at 5th century BC, the Greeks speculated that the earth was round before that all flat. People thought. Yes, Todd. But if there's an actual person in space, if NASA people are proving with photos, they're actually up there, out there showing that it's round. What person that says, you know, that it's flat, has any kind of proof that you would think a space person would have a better idea as to what it looks like. It could be fake news. They could all in on it. Yeah, it could be AI. Who is the video of, I don't remember if it was like Buzz Aldrin or somebody, but somebody went up to, I don't remember if it was him or not, but they went up to him like just on the street. We're like, yeah, moon landing is fake and he punched them right in them. I think that was Buzz Aldrin. I think Buzz Aldrin, who just, I think he just died recently. It smashed the dude right in the nose. Like Buzz Aldrin was all business. There were no nonsense. Yeah, Paul. September, 02, Buzz Aldrin leaving the Beverly Hills hotel got confronted by a conspiracy person and dropped him. There should be a law. You land on the moon. You could punch out one person.

I think that's only fair. Yes, Todd. What is the motivation to prove one way or the other? What do you win? You win like a teddy bear? What do you get? If you prove one way or the other, whether it's a round globe or a square globe, what does it even matter? What it is? Your questions are really difficult to answer. But that's what's so silly. People are so passionate about something that doesn't even matter who cares if it's a triangle or a rhombus. What does it matter what their globe is shaped like? I don't get it. Well, they think that we didn't land on the moon. Uh, Buzz Aldrin still alive. Oh, he is. Tell my bad. That's great news. And it's better than the other way. Yes. Your next. Oh, man. I know he had a younger girlfriend. Oh, they're all younger. Yeah, that's true. Buzz Aldrin 96 and Roland crushing. Did he lose his wife recently? And God, I shouldn't be doing this live. Imagine like you got to take out the garbage. I was just on the moon. Yes. You're about to get knocked in the nose too for all those. Don't run into buzz anytime soon. Buzzsaw. Uh, James and I owe Todd seeming to get Buzz Aldrin to join us. I'm on the

case. All right. Buzz him. Uh, you know what? Bracket challenge next year. Buzz Aldrin. Uh, he's Aldrin on that. Oh, yes, Paul. Buzz Aldrin four wives. He's honest. At the same time, he's outlived all of them. Yeah. He's had four wives though. And he had one on the moon. I mean, you would see her until I'm knocked me back for a hunt. Booty call. That's good. Good that James and Iowa. Hi, James. What's on your mind? Hey, good morning, fellas. First of all, uh, how this year didn't, uh, nom, you guys didn't get nominated for a sports. I mean, I will never know. Uh, secondly, uh, you were asking about the move for Danny Hurley. And I think they called that the peacock. You know, you got the big guy who like six is chest out, tries to go bumping into people like he's showing off. Like, he, I've heard it's called he's trying to peacock. Yeah. I think I use that expression. Yeah.

He was, he was peacocking. It was like a Mick Jagger that he was peacock in there. But thank you, James. Uh, let's see. Uncle Peas, Peas, Uncle Peas. That's Uncle Pete the Dan, but thank you. Tyler left off the A. Tyler, you left off the A. It, you put P.I. Z. Z. I'm pissed off at you. Go ahead. I'm sorry. Real quick. No, I just wanted to jump in real quick on the lost vague jumping on this Las Vegas name. I have two of them free all the mill about one. We go without the S and we go with the Las Vegas double down or we just go with the original baby Las Vegas mobsters. Oh, I'm sure the NBA would love that. Bring in the mobsters. Uh, fresh and Milwaukee. High fresh. What's on your mind? What's up guys? How y'all doing today? Great fresh. Good. Got a question with a dilemma. If you take all the NBA players and put them in my

positions, all shooting guards, all top five, all shooting guards, all guards, my position, what position wins to championship? So if I have all centers, all power forwards, all, so point guards, who wins? Yes. Oh, okay. I'll give that some thought, fresh. I'll ask, uh, I'll ask Reggie. Dave and South Dakota, then we'll take a break. Make way for Reggie. Hey, Dave. Hey, Dan. Good morning, everybody. Uh, 510 and from 332 and now 175. Say the reason I say my weight that way is, uh, I had gastric bypass surgery about 20 years ago and discovered, uh, after losing all the weight that I had some back pain and I've been managing and that brings me to the Tiger Woods situation. Seems like, um, now listen, I will say maybe, maybe I'm not privy to all of the information that even maybe you have, but we seem like there's

a little rush to judgment here that because Tiger had medication in his pocket, that there's an addiction problem. I've been taking similar medication for 20 years and I drive. Yeah, but you haven't had these moments where he is, you know, out of it. I mean, I didn't charge him with anything they did. Uh, he was driving under the influence. All I'm doing is reading the report. Uh, he's flipped his car a couple of times now. Remember the one time he was pulled over side of the road and couldn't even walk this. Yes, you can use these drugs in moderation under a, under doctor's care. He's got hydrocodone in his pocket and gets arrested and doesn't, you know, take those out of his pocket.

Reggie Miller was on the call. Nick's thunder on Sunday night. Coast to coast Tuesday presents a double header on NBC and peacock tonight. Kevin Durant, the Rockets play host to Jalen Brunson and the Knicks from Houston at eight Eastern on NBC. Reggie there with Mike Terrico. I'm getting these text messages from you late last night. All these like you're you're telling me what you want to talk about. You're producing your segment.

All right. I'll let you go. Like not at all. We work in conjunction with the year. I thought maybe all of a sudden you fell in love with SGA for the MVP. Not all of a sudden. Not all of a sudden. Or you made your decision that SGA is the MVP on Sunday night. Is that what happened? Not only Sunday night, but just watching the game last night in that overtime thriller versus the number one seed in the Eastern Conference of Detroit. Again, I know they were without Cade. I know they were without Durham. I know they were without Isaiah Stewart. But the thunder were missing some pieces as well. Jay Dub didn't play Isaiah Hartenstein. But who shows up? To me, he SGA should be again. And I said this on air on Sunday. There's levels to this. And I am never going to take anything away from Winby because Winby deserves and he will be winning

these awards for a long time. But if we are going to give out the highest award in our game, which is the MVP of the regular season, I get it regular season. I'm going with SGA just for the simple fact minutes played. I mean, I look at Winby's minutes and they both missed around the same amount of time. I believe SGA missed 12 games. Winby has missed 15 games, eight and four without SGA, 10 and five without Winby. But for a while there, Winby was on a minute's restructure. And if you look at minutes, and this was a wild stat, LaBron has played less games than Winby. But it has more minutes than Winby right now. That's the point of making. Winby's coming off a blood clot and look at the numbers that he put up and look at the season that they've had. And if we do this, because this is what some of you animals like to do,

certain guys don't play defense. Did any of those animals say anything about James Harden when he was winning MVP that he didn't play right? Nobody said that. Now all of a sudden, Luca can't play defense. Joker doesn't play defense. Jalen Brunson doesn't play defense. If we're going to use that, then Winby defensively is an A plus, correct? Yes. Okay. As an offensive player. B plus. Okay. B plus. SGA. B plus. A plus. A minus B plus. He's an A plus score. A minus to B plus defender. That's really friendly. Oh, no, no. He was second in steals a year ago on his way to the MVP. There are a lot of guys who were up there in steals who aren't great defenders, Rich. Okay. So are you saying that SGA does not play defense? No. I'm saying he's nowhere near

what? What? Wemby is a plus for Winby in defense. B plus in offense. Maybe even I'll give him a name. Okay. All right. I'm just saying nobody talks about SGA's defense. Nobody. Now he might be highly rated. Nobody talks about that. But I want to know where the analyst were when James Hardin was considered the best player in the game. Yes. And Reg. James Hardin doesn't play defense. Now he probably was up there in steals. I'll bet you. Larry Bird used to be up there in steals. And Larry wasn't a good defender. He was a great teacher. Okay. But I've been saying SGA is the MVP. I think he's going to win the MVP. I think Lucas is the best player in the game. And I think that's the best score in our game. I will say that. But he's the best rebounder score in a he's leading in a sith. I would know. I think that he's up there. Yoke. I mean Yoke.

That's what I'm saying. Yoke is the best best player in the game in my opinion. I agree too. Okay. But if if you don't if if Wemby's not getting it this year. He's getting it next year. If he plays enough games. Yes. Yes. Bet he'll. I think from this point forward SGA will win it. But starting next year. Wemby's on the clock. Yeah. He's on the clock to win MVP. But also too. Can we please see the spurs in a playoff series? I agree. I agree. Okay. We're going to give him the MVP. And he hasn't even played one playoff game. Again. Regular season. I get it. But I want to see the spurs in a playoff series. But I don't think that MVP regular season should be predicated on how well you've done in the postseason. I we did that to Yonis. We did that to Joker. And I don't think it's fair. It's the regular season. It's almost as if. What if what if the spurs knock out O.K.C.

SGA wins MVP and the spurs beat O.K.C. Then we can come back on here and re-evaluate. Well, then they've given the MVP to the wrong guy. Correct. Well, guess what? They're on a collision course. So let's find out. All I know is I do started the season 24 and one. And right now they're 18 and two. Since they all celebrate again. I know the spurs are 18 and two or 19 and two as well. But I'm leaning towards. I'm not leaning. I am going with SGA as the MVP right now. All right. You sent me some notes last night. You want to talk on VP. Braille and Mullin shot and Dan Hurley. And then you want to talk about what Duke did wrong. Okay. Let's start with what Duke did wrong. 10 seconds to go. Then we can get to the shot. And then we could get to Dan Hurley. And this is why you in practice. Whether you're at

grade school level, high school, and obviously in college, you work on situational basketball. Okay. And knowing time, score, foul situation, there was no reason for Boozert to attempt to throw the ball over. I know all of the Yukon Huskies players were going for the steal on all that. But all King had to do was hold onto the basketball, escape dribble, dribble left, right? They were going to foul him. He did not have to give up that basketball. So not only time, score, because they were up to at the time, even if he makes one or two with no timeout's left, it was going to be virtually impossible for Yukon. But when you give up the basketball, when you attempt, all it took was a deflection, which happened. Still bucket. No in time plays situational basketball. And I'm not saying they don't practice that at Duke.

Obviously, they coach Shire, that system, they do. But when you get caught up in the moment, people don't understand how big some of these moments are. In the heat of the moment, stuff happens. And I feel for the Boozert boys, I feel for Carlos. It's tough. But I was telling people this too. This too shall pass. He's only 18. I felt bad. I felt bad. But I have to give Yukon credit, because it was a great defensive play. A pass and Carabane had just made a tough shot. His was going to be contested. You see the trailer always worry about the trailer. And he finds Mullins who has, you know, wide open from 37 feet out. And he was able to take a jumper. And if there's one player on that team that you didn't want to leave open, yeah, was brainless. I mean, arguably, the best shooter on that team has even as a freshman.

And what a moment for him, his dad, Josh, a kid from Indiana, it's, it's a hosier type ending for them because that's all we do in Indiana. I'm an adopted hosier. So when I say we, I consider myself a hosier, that's all those kids doing Indiana is think of moments like that. How did they lose him to Yukon, right? It doesn't matter how they lost him. We still claim him. Okay. It gives a chance for a shot like that to come home to Indiana for the final four. His dad, Josh, his family, a greenfield central where he played high school. He was Mr. Indiana basketball. All these things were set up for that moment. And by the way, that's a logo shot, people. Yeah. I mean, that's the 35, 40 foot shot to advance your team to the final four kudos to you, Mr. Mullins. Reggie Miller on the program. It'll be the next

and rockets at eight Eastern on NBC and on peacock. Okay. Then you have the Dan Hurley moment with Roger Ayers, the official. How would you describe it? And if you're the official, what would you have done? Wow. What a level of discretion here by the official because you can easily make a case. And I am, I'm going to say, consider and say, I am surprised a technical foul was not called because you could have, you could have lost it on that. I understand celebrating even jumping on the floor because there were still times left in the game. And some of the Huskies were on the floor. I've seen technical fouls called in the college game for that. None was given. But the mean rug and the slight, is it a headbutt? No. No. Head to head. Oh, they were, were they touching one another? They're, but that's not a headbutt. You and John. No, he didn't. Headbutt,

but he smirked mean bug. I think they rubbed four heads. Okay. So they headbutt. They didn't headbutt. They head rubbed. They met together. Very surprised. I was not caught. I give the, the official and officiating crew a lot of credit for swallowing their whistles because as unbelievable moment that was for Braille and Mullins, for UConn Vascular, it could have been mirrored in controversy. If that official would have blew the whistle and gave, culturally, a technical for them. So that would have been two shots from anyone, I assume. Yeah. And you could have easily lost that game. Well, I think that's two people in a moment, a public moment, who understood each other.

Yeah. And that's why nothing was called. I think there was history there between that particular official. Yeah. And Dan Hurley, because again, you could easily made a case and far be it for me to support anything that Duke does. Sorry, Grant. But if you're a Duke fan, you could easily make a case that should have been a technical found. Do you hate Duke? No. Did you? Duke is, there are a lot like the nicks. They just think they're better than everyone else. That's all. They think they're a brand of basketball, their style of basketball, their players are better than here. I had this conversation with Billy King all the time, one of my best friends in life, my assistant coach, with the Pacers, and we just go back and forth all the time about Duke basketball, the brotherhood. And I get it. I love them. I love Coach K. I love a lot of the players have played with a few Duke players in my lifetime. But they just think they're better than everyone

else. And that's what that's why kind of rubs people the wrong way. How can the nicks feel this way? They don't win anything. They've won. They've been successful. 1973. They had a good run in the 90s. They had a great run in the 90s. They didn't win. They went to the finals twice. They knocked on the door. And not everyone could be a champion like you. All right. We're all on your co-tells. What changes will the nicks make? They got to make a change. Well, can we see how this plays out? You got two guys who were bad defenders in Brunson and Carl Anthony Towns. And in the playoffs, they're just going to single those guys out and go Adam. Look, I will say this about Brunson. He leads the league and he leads his team and charges taken. To me, that's a form of a playing defense. I'm sorry. And you just say what you want

about him. I want Jalen Brunson on my team in close moments and playoff basketball because the dude just has it. So you can hate on cat. All you want. I'm never going to hate on Jalen Brunson. Because I love Jalen Brunson. I don't want Carl Anthony Towns. Do you want Carl Anthony Towns? If you're Jalen Brunson, you just answered my question. You just answered my question. The pause. You don't want Carl Anthony Towns. Yes. That's your second option. He's a good player. Okay. He's a really good shooter. He's a great shooter. And that's it. But at times, he does get lost in a lot of times. Good teams and great players will find a way to put him in picking roles in certain situations.

He's gotten a little bit better. A little bit better. I know you got to choose your words carefully because you're running. Yeah. All the mixed fans out there don't like you anyway. So it doesn't matter what you say about Carl Anthony Towns. They're seeing the same thing you and I are seeing. Yes. They see the same thing. Oh, by the way, you got a name for Vegas that the NBA like Seattle still gets the supersonic. Oh, yes. I got to think about that one because there's a lot of ways we can go with this. What are some of the what are some of the names that are being loaded? Yeah, they're not Las Vegas. Somebody said the mobsters. Oh, no. No. Okay. Here is a suggestion. The Las Vegas strip. No, because people are going to think about strippers. No. No. Well, don't you think about that anyway? Well, you don't have to be in Las Vegas. No. The Las Vegas. I can't

say high rollers. No. The Las Vegas. I got to think about this because you could be you could be very creative with this franchise. Yeah, but you got to be careful with the whole gambling thing. I know. Even though there's so much gambling, Las Vegas mobsters. Really? Come on. You're not a gambler, are you? Not anymore. I mean, I used to play what you play is a waste. I know. It's a waste. I mean, I don't mind going there and playing roulette. You know, that's like 50, 50. Though a few numbers out there. See your number. It's big deal. Did you ever put your Jersey number out there? Always. I go with Jersey numbers. I know it kids ages. I go with I go with MJ. I go with Michael. I go with Larry. Yeah. Wait, there's a block. I go with 31 32 33 Charles 34. Like when you're playing roulette, you know, you you can do a block of numbers. I can't see this is all bad. I am as a gambler. What's it called when you do a block or somebody poly? You can do a block of numbers.

You play one chip in four squares on four squares. So I would do 31 32 33 and 34 and if one of them hit, then what would you put money on 23? Yes, I do. Okay. I have. Okay. Yes, I do. It never hit for me. Mike never hit. Mike never hit. But but it was you and it was magic. Larry and Larry. Yes. Charles 34. Yes. Okay. That's my go to. Michael never bet on 31. He would never. No. He wouldn't or 11. I say look at you. Look at you starting things. All I would go 10 for my Olympic number. So I went to 10 11. I did do Isaiah. 12 was someone famous too. I'm trying to think 13. I did

from our Jackson and Dan Merino. So there was blocks I would do. Good to talk to you. Love you, Taylor. Love you. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks me again whenever you need to. Thanks you in the mills. And by the way, you're responding to me and then sleep again. I know you're a vampire at all. Sleep. It never. No. I can't. My mind's racing. You know. Nine two. It's always racing. All right. All right. We're a team. We're a good chain. Say nice things about Carl Anthony Towns. I will. But he's got to rotate. Rotate on the inside. Durant's going to get 30. I'll have the next tonight. Winning. Oh, you do. Okay. I do. Okay. All right. In Houston. In Houston. Jalen Brunson will take two charges tonight. Hey, it's form of defense. Tune in to watch Jalen Brunson take a charge tonight. Carl Anthony Towns to try in the pick and roll. That's

in your hate mail this year or not to me. He's the one that's killing your team. Not me guys. Not me. Reggie will be on the call with Mike Tureco and Zora Stevenson. That'll be coming up tonight.

I mentioned that I was hoping to hear Dan Hurley talk about the ending of the game when he had his forehead confrontation with the official Roger Ayers and he was on the triple

option hosted by Urban Meyer Mark Ingram and Rob Stone and they asked Dan Hurley about the confrontation with the official. Really at that point in the game, we had it won and he's such an easy guy to work with during the game that I told you he was coming over to chess pump me to celebrate the shot. You know, because it's not like that for me with him, you know, like my experience with him has been, you know, we haven't won every game. I haven't agreed with every fall, but his like, so that was in no way was that like me and a ref that I had been at the afro the whole game. Like at other points of the game where I had my arm around them walking out of the time out, you know, we were cracking jokes and laughing at that with that situation. Now to want it more cat, you know, when I was on my man's neck, you know, screaming it to his neck, like, yeah, and that was that was a guy that's like coming right up to the line and losing his mind, but that was more like the emotion of the shot and this is a cool ass wrap guy.

You know, I just like was were you guys sharing the moment together? No, he was just coming up to tell me yo is point three. Oh, I think there's going to be point three or point four on the clock is what he's saying to me and I was still so hyped from the shot going in that I was like, you know, like anyone would walk up on me right there. I was just I love because he came over so fast. So that's Danny Hurley and that's the triple option hosted by Urban Meyer, Markingroom and Rob Stone.

The official is saying to him point three and I don't know if Dan Hurley said anything to him, but the fact that he thought he was going to chest bump him.

Now, maybe he's having fun. I hope he's having fun with that. That would have been really, really awkward if the official will chest bump you. Yes, Mark. Yeah, I didn't see Hurley's mouth moving at all. I just think he was just so hype and in the moment. He had his jacket half off. Like he was a member of Joe to see and he was just walking around. I was like, just do. Oh, yes, are. Yes, he was going crazy. And it was like, whoever's coming up to me, he said at the end of that clip, whoever was coming up to me, I would have done the exact same thing to him. This day in sports history, Paul.
