OSU Insider-Should Ohio State Fire Jake Diebler??

0:00When Kohler, global design leader in luxurious kitchen and bath products, asked me to be their ambassador for timeless, elegant, durable cast iron, I said, I'm in. Soon after I was in their Kohler Wisconsin foundry, watching molten iron poured, a mammal applied by hand, and the beautiful finished pieces ready to ship. Since 1883 Kohler cast iron has been crafted by incredible artisans, and seeing at first hand, gave me a whole new appreciation for their craftsmanship. Now, I'm proud to lend my staff of approval to my favorite Kohler cast iron products for their durability, beauty, and enduring style. Shot my curated picks at Kohler.com.

What's up everybody Thursday evening? I would say happy Thursday evening, but we know what

2:19happened earlier today. We're going to talk about it. But before we do, do me a favor, hit that like button, hit that subscribe button if you have not already. Also, for those who don't always do YouTube, go to Apple. Apple people, save us from Apple podcasts, nine Apple people, go to spreeker.com and save us there. We're going to be talking about the Ohio State game, Ohio State Falls, the TCU today, tough game. We're going to talk about it. Obviously a lot of chatter about Jake DiBler's future. We're going to talk about that as well. But also, when you send those wonderful super chats, it helps to go towards the pay it forward, which is our military and our first responders. We're going to look out for them because they always look out for us. Nevada Buck brother brother brother brother. What's up, man? I'm sad, the mic on the live. I'm sad that that we that we lost today. We lost again that we probably shouldn't have lost,

3:22but we lost it nonetheless. And it's just sad. I'm also sad because this is probably the last basketball show that we're going to do for 2026. From here on out, we're just going to be football, football, football, which is great, which I love talking about. But the Buck guy season ended a little too prematurely for me today. And just just sad. You know, you being the ex great player that you were just I'm more interested in your thoughts initially because I've read the the Twitter verse and the Ohio State fan base on the board thought. And they're for some reason, you know, who's going to allow the iron who's catching a lot of the the flack of the game is Christoff Tilly for some reason, which is I find absolutely bizarre because I actually thought he played pretty good today. And, you know, I mean, other than Mowl Blue clearly was our best player. I thought Tilly might have been our second or worst third best player. But for some reason, he's just catching straight from him. And I just wonder when you were watching the game,

4:24are you thinking, wow, Christoff Tilly is killing us or or did your thoughts go go elsewhere? Well, I mean, the hope the first half was bad. And so Christoff, Christoff Tilly, Christoff Tilly played his part in the bad first half. Was he the worst on the on the floor? No. But he was being goofy and he was being a little soft around the rim, which is something he does. I think he's an okay player. He has some skill for his size. But man, it's just like he needs to play bigger. He needs to be more physical consistently. And I think that's some of the people's complain about Tilly finishing around a rim stronger. To me, he's too hesitant. It's just like do like. But I mean, he is who he is. He has 11 points of game this year, and he ain't scored 10 today. He has four rebounds of game and he had six. He has two assists. He played better in the second half. He played better in the second half. I'll give you that. I mean, I mean, you know, I just I just feel like, like, man, when you're looking for super villains

5:27in this game, it's hard to look at somebody who overachieved over their season averages as the problem for the game. Like I felt the rest were letting them play at an extremely physical game in the first half. And I didn't think that a nerd dole house they'd benefit. I think they let, you know, they let TCU get away with a lot and then at the end of the game, there were some, I felt marginal calls that they called, you know, one we were up three and they called a three point play. I'm barely any contact at all. I thought it was a little incongruid. But yeah, no, I mean, I agree. Yeah, I think I said Tilly. I mean, to me, I thought the start of the game. You lose a two point game. You have the all-time leading scorer in the history of a house that basketball who averages 20 points a game. And he has one basket in the second half of a game where you're down 15 and a half time. Now that is a problem right there. That is an issue. You can't shoot 33% from the field and score 10 points when at the all-time

6:27leading scorer in a house that history in a game. And, you know, Bruce Thornton, I couldn't, I mean, I don't know, was that his worst game ever at a house they may be? No, I mean, he picked the peculiar, I mean, there's never been a bigger game that he's played worse, you know what I'm saying? Because I mean, there you go. I mean, I think that, yeah. I mean, he's the all-time leading scorer in school history, the all-time leading scorer. And he shot 33% from the field and had one basket in the second half. But we're talking about Kristoff Tilly. I don't know. I'm just confused, to be honest with you. No, let me be clear. I don't agree with the take that Tilly is the number one guy. Oh, Tilly, I don't agree with that. I think he could have played better in the first half. Like, but that's just a carry-over complaint from me. I like Tilly, but I don't love Tilly because of this stuff I already mentioned. But that's not the first person I'm calling out is

7:28Tilly. I agree. Now, let's get to Bruce Thornton and we'll just talk about the game. So, obviously, you could see the game plan from TCU. This is nothing new. I mean, teams like all through the schedule, blitz, Bruce Thornton, double shading. Just think about it. We mostly talk about football. So, who are you football people? Just look at it as a rolling coverage, right? Rolling coverage over to Jeremiah Smith's side. Think about it like that. If you don't know basketball that well, it's like when Bruce Thornton get the ball to top of the key, they were king on him. When he would penetrate, they would shade over. It was like, it had like a diamond, like following him around. If you look at what TCU was doing, the game plan was to take away Bruce Thornton and make the rest of the guys beat you. That was the game plan. So, with that said, to your point, Nevada, it's tough. You don't want to force things and basically

8:31plan to the hands and turn the ball over and try to do too much. But you also have to be very, very aggressive. When you pick your spots, when there's a hole, or when there's a weakness, or there's a lane, you have to attack. And when you attack, you have to know how to attack. And this is what I mean. I think Bruce got frustrated. He was very frustrated. He could tell he was frustrated. When he did have opportunities later in the game, to me, he made the incorrect play that he normally doesn't make. He's very smart. Like going into the body of punch, instead of pulling up for that little 10-foot shot that he can hit so well, he tried to go in and just got swallowed up by punch. And so, the game plan frustrated Bruce Thornton. We didn't come out with the same energy. We didn't come out with the same physicality. TCU played like they've been in the tournament recent, like they have. They've been in the tournament in the recent years. We have it. We came out like the stage was big. Now, obviously, we adjusted and we settled

9:31down and we were right in the game, but that's always hard to overcome that when you're coming out like that. And so, it was a lot of the same stuff I saw all year Nevada, but we were able to still fight back. But it just wasn't enough, man. But yeah, to your point, Bruce Thornton, and let me say this last thing, because I loved Bruce Thornton. And I was talking to my guys who came by earlier watching the game. Bruce Thornton is a great kid. He's a really good basketball player. He has skill and talent. But I think today showed why, yes, he's the leading score because he's been here for four years. He's been consistent. Great kid. He stayed with a house state. But he's not he's not he's not Michael Red. He's not Mike Conley. He's not Jim Jackson. He's just not to that level because again, even with that attention on him, yes, be patient. Get it to your guys, but you've got to be aggressive and still take over and still overcome that. If you're an elite,

10:34like elite Hooper Hooper, Nevada, go ahead. I know you want to jump in. Well, I mean, like there's so many things to say. I just, you know, I know enough about basketball from having played not at the highest levels, but played a lot of basketball in my life. And I haven't coached not at the highest level. The coach a lot of asked me on my life that it was evident from like the first couple of possessions that Bruce would literally pick up his dribble 30 feet away from the basket and stop and look and then he would go standing at the corner. They had completely buffaloed. And at that point, as the head coach, you have to take the ball a lot of his hands. You have to. And I'm screaming the whole first half. I'm like, get let mobility, let mobility run the offense. Do not get the ball out of his hands. You know, and it's the fact that it took an entire half on something that I literally recognized at 1733 to go in the first first half. It took it. And once we switched to mobility,

11:38we erased a 15 point deficit and went to a five point lead. That's a 20 point swing. I don't understand how something that's so obvious took him so long to figure out. I'm really struggling with it. Look, if somebody's going to take something away from you, then they're leaving something else open. You don't just keep going into the teeth of that over and over and over again. Because clearly, the authority didn't have it whether he was frustrated, buffaloed, covered, whatever was going on. It's tax season. And by now, I know we're all a bit tired of numbers. But here's an important one you need to hear, $16 billion.

I've got Dan Morgan here on the pod. Say hi, Dan. Hey, how's it going today?

13:51It's going good, man. Tell us who you are and what you do. I'm Dan Morgan. I'm an attorney and a managing partner at Morgan and Morgan, which is America's largest injury law firm. That's pretty awesome. I think I saw Billboard years recently that said 20 billion won. 20 million is an insane number. Yeah, 20 billion recovered. It's actually I think somewhere north probably closer to 22, 23 after this year. And each year we get bigger and better and our army grows. So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on. Awesome. So how does someone get in contact with Morgan and Morgan? What would I do if I got into an accident? Probably the easiest way is dialing pound law. It's pound 529 from your cell phone. We are always open. Our call center is always waiting to take your call 24 7 365. Wow, Dan Morgan from Morgan and Morgan and America's largest injury law firm. Thanks for coming by the show. Thanks for having me. Visit forthepeople.com for an office near you. Yeah, I mean, I just he couldn't beat anybody off the dribble and I saw how I say I'm like, why are we slowing the game down? Why are we having Bruce Thornton's out there

14:55just dribbling to nothing to eight down at the clock and then running some hurried set and getting some crappy shot up. And you know, you know what I'm saying? I'm like, man, we have got to attack the rim and I have people saying, oh, we don't attack or how state doesn't it? We don't that's not what we play. And I'm like, you have to play that way. You cannot let this TCU defense set up against you when you've got the ball. I mean, Bruce Thornton's got to be able because he's not the biggest guy. He's not Evan Turner. He's not, you know, he's not six foot six. So you've at least got to be able to beat somebody off the dribble. So if you've got the thing, you've got to be able to create something. I don't think he beat somebody off the dribble a single time today, not not once. I don't think he beat somebody off the dribble. And that just created all sorts of problems for everybody else on the inside. Nobody else is getting open inside. And frankly, once we switched them all, though, everything's fixed. And I just don't understand why Jake Debeler, who I like Jake Debeler, I want Jake Debeler to be successful. How can you go that long and not see what is

15:58obvious to everyone needed to be changed? How can he go that long without without adjusting? Yeah. And I've seen it. He did. He adjusted, but it was later, like you said. I saw him starting to bring Bruce off ball and trying to run him through screens and sets to get him loose. Instead of him bringing a ball up court, but it was later. And so I think to ask you a question, I'm not saying this right, but you're thinking he's seen this before. He's your best player. Let him work through it. Let him make, you know, good decisions through it and and press through it. And that's what I think Debeler was thinking. But it just obviously it just it didn't work well. But yes, running the offense through Moby was better, you know, as far as the flow of the offense and getting things going. But not just that. I mean, we turned the ball over seven times in the first half. And it just was conky. We didn't look in rhythm. TCU looked in rhythm. Now again,

17:00to their credit in the second half, they stepped up, started playing much better. You know, started matching that physicality. TCU got a little cold and whatnot, but just came up short. We can honestly, bro, we could talk about, unless you got more to say about that, we can talk about what everybody's talking about, which is that last 4.3 seconds left. And what happened on that play? And I mean, that was that was rough. That was frustrating. First of all, shout out to Dev before we get into that Nevada. I agree with you, Dev. He mentioned in the group chat, the group chat that you can't give up that position. Now, by the name of the freshman, he's a he's a pretty big physical kid. And that TCU kid is no, no slouch. But I agree, you can't let him get that deep in the paint. I thought we played good defense on punch on that play, but that TCU kid was white. He was established deep in the paint. And at that point, I'm just, I'm glad Bynum didn't foul him. But that was just tough, man. Nevada, what you got?

18:04Well, you know, yeah, I mean, would I like to have seen Bynum, you know, play a little bit or defense on that. Yeah, but I, you know, I just thought it was a good play by TCU. He was able to wall him off and look, they got a, they got a great shot in that situation. I just, again, from a coaching standpoint, when you're looking at the clock and you see that there's going to be about a four or four and a half second difference. But if they run it down to the very end, which they did credit to TCU, but given the rules where you can't advance the ball, I'm telling I'm telling my guys, you've got to get the ball in balance and you've got to get the ball across half court and then we call the timeout. You know what I'm saying? Like, like anything you do, you've got to get the ball into the front court and then you call the timeout. I think, but again, that's, that's the kind of, that's, this isn't a second guess. This was something I was saying the number's 30 seconds when TCU was setting up their shot. I'm like, you've got to anticipate that and you got to tell them the guys, look, when this happens, you know, if they score, get it into the front court, let's call timeout, let's get something set up, let's run a play.

19:06He was obviously what they were doing. They were coming and hiding it till he was going to go back to Thornton and Thornton was going to try to run down and hit kind of an Evan Turner, you know, jumper, but you know, there's not a lot of great plays when you can't advance the ball to mid court with 4.3 seconds ago. So as much as people want to be mad, I don't, I'm not as mad at him for that play, but I think the setup to that could have been better, you know, which goes to the whole day. I felt like the entire day, I didn't feel like we came out with the right kind of intensity, I didn't feel like we came out with the right kind of defense. I didn't feel like we came out playing the type of game that we really needed to play in order to win, you know, and incidentally, you know, game is literally the first game of the tournament and we're out already and it just, you know, to me, I thought that every one of Jake Debeler's deficiencies were on display today as a head coach. And I think his inexperienced show and, you know, for me, who's been somebody

20:10who's been, you know, pretty much on the, you know, definitely, I think we got to give Debel more time. Now I'm not sure. I think to me, it really depends on who might be available as a potential thing because I just, I thought that some of the mistakes he made were just so rudimentary that it really has, it has me questioning, you know, his ability to say a head coach. Maybe that's fair, maybe that's unfair, but that's where I'm at. No, I hear you. Here's the last play. So I think you nailed it to where it's 4.3 seconds and the ball's not advanced. So I was kind of tripped into myself like, some of these takes on all they drew that up. I mean, there's not much you can do. I mean, we've seen it. We've seen team score from this. I mean, it was, it had to be executed perfectly. You know, you got a guy. I would have gave it to Moby in this situation. I think he's faster than a Bruce Thornton

21:15and he's a better distant shooter. Like, I would, if you're going to draw that up, I would drew it up for Moby. Not only that, but the other team is looking for your senior, you're all tightly in score to get the ball and you see there's two guys on them. And so I don't know, that's just me, but yes, I agree that, and I don't even say the hindsight, but knowing what's coming, knowing you only have one time out left, just signal to your guys, get it across, get it across, you know, that should be something you do in practice. And that's it, in that situation, that would have gave them a better chance to come off the screen and get a clean look for three, you know, or even a, or even throw it down low to get a foul or something. But yeah, man, I knew when this happened, it was a rap, barring a miracle, but unfortunate. Now, as far as what you said about Debler, yeah, I mean, here's the thing I said this before.

22:15I don't think Jake Debler is a bad coach. I think he can be a very good coach. I think he might have been brought into early. I think he's a guy that probably would have had been in a better situation, success-wise, maybe if he was brought in three years after the whole, and like, he went to a max school, cut his teeth, came back. He was, he was retained. I think the, the brass saw that he was good with the kids. He's a good coach. He's bright, but today probably show, like you said, his efficiencies that he's still learning. And so, you know, but also I do not want to discount the fact that I'm not going to act like Jake Debler went into this tournament with a deep roster and a fully loaded NIO clip and all the other stuff. If they're going to keep him, they need to make sure they provide him with everything he needs to get players on this roster. Period. Now, I told

23:20you all, I just want Buckeye Basketball to be elite. I want Buckeye Basketball to compete for championships, like, under that motto, you know, like how we work. Consistently, sweet 16, or you know, like, in the tournament, elite, that's what I want. If that's getting rid of Debler, okay, but who are we going to get? And that's not a question saying we shouldn't. I'm just saying it better be somebody good. We better put the full resources that we have for this basketball program behind them. Period. I don't care who it is. Debler or somebody else, that's something we need to step up with is making sure we put more intentional emphasis into this program because I want to be fair. Debler is, is, you know, he may, he's made mistakes. He may be early into his blessing and arrived a little early, but let's not act like he's had the full support and had a full, you know, deep roster. He hasn't. He has no bench. So to me, we got to look at both sides, but either

24:23way, I want to fix the question is, is Debler, is this going to be looked at by the brass Nevada by the Abukai, you know, administration as, hey, we made progress. We won the most big 10 games we won in four seasons. We made the tournament for the first time. The players like him, they respond to him. We got to McDonald's on American coming next year. Let's keep building this. Let's add more. I mean, is that how they're going to look at it? Probably. I don't think he's going to get fired. Regardless of what we say, what we think, I think they're going to keep him for another year at least. That's just my opinion. But Nevada, what you got on all that? Well, I mean, I guess, I mean, the question I asked is like, I'm world-hierry state. And you can talk about the roster and I get that. But like, do you think high point has a better roster than we do? I mean, you know, I honestly don't know high points, but I'm going to say no, but yeah, I mean, because high points certainly didn't have the resources that we do or the reputation or the recruiting base or you know, I'm saying none of that, but you know, they managed to put the

25:28other team and you know, beep was kind. And I know it's one game and everything else like that. But it's just, you know, you just wonder, you know, are you getting better? Are you getting worse? You know what I'm saying? And I think for Ohio State, you know what? It sucks to be bored.

But you know, it's deeper the guide. You know, are you are you delaying the inevitable? You know, do you see Jake Gieber? Yeah, I mean, I guess the question would be do you think Jake Gieber will be the head coach here to house eight and five years or ten years? You know, I mean, like do you think he's got that kind of longevity? And I know it's kind of an impossible question to answer. It's all hypothetical. But you know, it's one of those things where you know, I just don't I don't know. And you know, I like I said, I'm willing to ride with a lot of things regarding, you know, at the end of the day, I'm a big believer in, you know, it's not

28:36the Xs and O's. It's the Jimmy's and Joe's and they've got to perform. But in basketball of all the games and the coaches have such an impact because they affect everything on in-bounds plays on rotations on, you know, switching defense. I mean, there's all sorts of things that the coaches directly impact on almost a possession, a possession basis. And so, you know, a coach is just so so important to your success. I just don't know if Debra can be I like said, I'm really struggling with the fact that Debra took that long to get them on to mobile his hands. I mean, I get trying to play, but if the thing about what you said, if everything you're saying you're just they're playing two guys over the top on them. They're shaking the entire defense. They're playing a triangle over the top. I mean, then how do you have that guy just keep running into that mass front over and over and over again? When you've got, you know, a player mobily who can get it

29:38done, you know, I'm sound like that he's a guy. He's a viable option. It's not like he hasn't done it with the ball in his hands, you know, so far this year. I just don't know how it could take Debra that long to figure that out. That that's the thing is kind of confounding me way more episode than the, you know, the play design on the last play or, you know, should we have stayed in his own defense or any of the other or even his rotations. I mean, even getting cut in there and doing some of the things that he did. I just I don't know. I mean, you know, I'm the last play again. Do you give it to mobily who least score or do you give it to the guy who's three of mine from the floor? I, you know, I don't know. You know, any any option you had was bad now. When 4.3 seconds, basically, we've all seen the the Christian Latener thing and we, you know, look, I know it can happen, but it's hard. Right. It's it's really really hard. And it, you know, it's a, it's a low, it's a low percentage play. No matter, no matter, you know, how you go about it. So, um, but I don't know. I, I, I, let me put you if I'm on high estate, I am definitely

30:43working the following to see who's available and working to see if, if there is an upgrade for it because, um, I think you're really at an inflection point with the program right now. And, uh, if you're going to make a move, I think this is the time to make it. I don't, I don't think, though, if you're not going to keep them long term, then I think you get rid of them now. Okay, I think you just cut your losses and, and, and move on. Yeah. The question is, will they do that? I just don't know. I'm not confident they will. And I'm showing this clip also, because look at the aggression from going back to what we talked about with Bruce Thorden. Look at the, look at the, the, the lack of hesitant, like he just, he just, I wish Bruce in this game, because again, they were all over him. They were, they were trying to take him out of the game. I get that. But as a star player, the captain of your team, boom, he did not hesitate. Pulled up, like it was needed, like, boom, like that was a big bucket for him. That's what

31:50your leader should be doing. And to me, I feel like early in the game, I don't know if it was frustration. I don't know what it was. But you got to find a way. Yes, you want to be patient. Somebody's open. If they're doubling you, make the right play, I get all of that. But you also have to pick your spots and be aggressive. And to me, this, he did not hesitate. He pulled up in his face and stroked it. Boom, like that was needed throughout the entire gang to really set the tone and lead your team. But anyway, yeah, Nevada. I mean, listen, I hear you. You mentioned a high point. I mean, we smashed Wisconsin to by 17. I wasn't that high on Wisconsin. I had them losing the next round anyway. And shoot, Sienna gave Duke all they could handle today. This tournament, you better come ready. You better be ready to play. I don't care how deep your roster is. It's like every year we get, we get reminded of how big this tournament is. And you see little teams

32:55take out big teams and 12s take out fives and whatever. But I don't know Nevada. I mean, the question for me is, what is Bjork in this administration going to do? I'm not pounding the table to keep dealer. I'm saying, okay, if you get rid of dealer, you better be on the phones and find someone who is like, hey, yo, this is a stud coach. I want that. I don't want to, you know, what? He might be okay. No. If you fire dealer, go get somebody. Be aggressive like you would be a football and go get somebody that says, this is a home run higher. And this is just it, Nevada. Do you think they can do that? Because to be honest with you, Nevada, before you jump in, I'm not as confident in this administration to do that in basketball as I am in football. You know what I'm saying? So it's like, I just don't know. Oh, um, I just give you a fun fact. It'll fun stat. Um, and just, and then I'll give it

34:00to the question. Do you know that Bruce Thornton hit the, his first three point of the game in, with 33, 33 seconds into the game and then hit his last three pointer with 33 seconds left in the game. And between that period of time, between that period of time, he had one basket. Good Lord. But between the first crazy, between the first 33 seconds and last, so in, in the, the last in 39 minutes, he had one basket. Yeah. You know, you know, you know what I'm saying? And it's just like, that can't happen. No, no, no, look, I mean, 39 minutes at one basket in two free throws. That's all that that was it. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, I mean, look, can't oh, how's they do it? Absolutely. And we're like, oh, how's they decide? Navy, Muzzle, uh, they're hockey coached to a new five year contract. Um, you know, keeping her away from Minnesota. I mean, they, oh, how's they can do whatever they want and, and, and basketball, basketball is not in a relevant sport. We're not talking about, you know, archery

35:05or, you know, fencing or something like that or, you know, women's lacrosse. We're talking about basketball. I mean, it's a revenue sport. It's a sport where you actually make money if you've got a decent team. There's no reason they shouldn't have, you know, they've got great facilities. They've got a great recruiting base. They've got a great reputation. They've got a history of success in recent success. So to me, I think they've got to be working the phones going after it and trying to see what's available because, you know, I want to see what options they might have for this. Yeah. I mean, they should do their due diligence for sure. Like I said, I, to me, well, first of all, I agree, obviously basketball is not football, but it's not, I don't know, rifle, or they actually won national championships at a house. They're good too. But you get my point. Talk about revenue. Like I get that. I understand that. But to me, I haven't seen

36:05a ton of evidence in the past years to show that they're putting as much emphasis on the basketball program. So I'm skeptical hippo with them actually making a splash like that. I don't think it's impossible. You sure they can. But will they? That's my question. And here's a Bruce Thornton walking off the court, dejected last game and all that, man, sucks. And it was a, it was an emotional roller coaster today with down 15 I have. I'm thinking, I kept saying to my people, boring a small miracle. This game is over, which I still stand by that because to me, I was being able to come back like we did with a small miracle because we just, we were just bad in that first half. But then, you know, the roller coaster go back up and then came crashing down at the end. And it was very frustrating, very sad. But this is what's been going on with this program.

37:05Past four years, the first time in a tournament in the past four years is tough in itself. So I don't know, man, Nevada, that's going to be the question mark for me. What are we going to do? Are we going to keep Jake? If we keep Jake, what are we going to do to step up with NIO funds, portal, you know, make sure we bring guys in here, not, not mid guys, but high level guys that can come in and play and make a big impact and all that. So that's the question. I mean, that's pretty much it at the end of the day, Nevada. What else you got? Yeah, now I think I'm going to go with my final answer being I think Ohio State is going to be looking. I'm going to be definitely testing the the lines with the with the agents that know about this stuff, whether or not I'm actually really looking forward. But I just I think something like this. I mean, I think I'll have state fans, you saw it from the entry. I mean, Ohio State fans really want to support the basketball team.

38:07They really want to get behind the basketball team. Forget whatever plans you have this weekend because you're staying at home and playing on spin quests.

40:10now because the future is happening fast and it's way too fun to miss. But you know something like this where you know you're right the first half it looked like we were completely outclassed by TCU you know in every way and again they were up 15 and I felt like it could have been higher than that but you know we managed to take a five point lead in the second half and then you know you you know to have I feel like it was our it was our lack of experience and and I mean I gotta say it coaching. I really think coaching costs us today. I think if we had a more experienced coach we would have won the game today. I think if we had FADMAT, FADMAT, even if we think if we had just holding I think we'd have won the game for that. But you know that again that's a hypothetical you know we'll never know. But I I mean I thought I thought deeper was really bad that I and I and I've ruined it for I

41:10liked deeper. I like that I loved it loved his brother. I want dealer to be it but I just I'm trying to think about you know even our in-bounce play you know like one thing he'd been really making his bones on is how many how often we scored off of in-bounce plays and stuff and I didn't even like our in-bounce plays I didn't I just I didn't like our offensive sets I didn't like the way we were doing it just it nothing seemed to make sense and you know you know it just kind of all you know I'm going to go my final answer is going to be a house it's going to be looking but I'm going to I'll know here the next 24 48 hours if they're if they're making calls because this is this is when they start making them right now. Yes I was going to say please holler at your sources because I want to know I want to know um you know because again I just my confidence is through the roof with Ohio State football doing whatever it takes to get to keep the beast going I'm not a confident in Buckeye basketball I'm just not so yes please keep us posted on that Nevada but before we close out I did want to bring out one thing that's

42:16non-basketball related I thought was very interesting Nevada I'm going to share my screen real quick and um the chat tell me if y'all heard about this because it's tournament time and I think this is kind of like just kind of flying under the radar but did y'all see the incident that proves change is the targeting suspension in one year trial so here it is for at least one season a targeting penalty will no longer automatically take a college football player off the field for the following game the division one football both subdivision oversight committee on Thursday approved a one year trial rule that gives a player a break for his first targeting penalty for the 26 season a player disqualified for targeting for the first time in the season can participate in the following game the trial rule will apply regardless of which half the targeting penalty is caught a player who draws a second targeting penalty of this season will be required sit out the first half of the next game a player who draws his third targeting of the season must

43:21sit out the full following game and then it notes that there were no players that were disqualified for targeting three times in the twenty twenty twenty five season so to me this is low key significant because we've been talking about the targeting rule I know Joe clat has hated it he's been pounded a table others haven't mentioned it I thought this was interesting okay so I wanted to quickly touch on this before we bang out of here Nevada what's your thoughts on this brother well first I hate the targeting rule period so let me just say you know I let me explain to you with the the fundamental flaws in targeting targeting was set up to deal with the most egregious types of hits you know what I'm saying and you know it's like that old saying by Justice Potter they asked him the definition of pornography and he goes I know it when I see it you know what I'm saying like that that's kind of a targeting like we know it when we see it like so if you have a hit and I'm you you know what I'm talking about you you've been in a house they

44:25fan you know for like you know when we see guys get disqualified for games for hits were at the last second quarterback ducks his head and a shoulder pad hits him the side you know I'm saying something like that that that to me is not targeting until so until they I like the intention that they're trying to make the penalties less punitive on this stuff but yeah I think until they deal with the entire rule and I think the problem is with the when you slow everything down to slow okay in slow motion there's head contact almost every single play you know I'm saying some part of your body is going to make contact with the other person's head I'm 90% of the same you know I'm saying like it could be your forearm it could be your hand it could be your shoulder it could be your wrist I mean something's going to make contact with the head or neck area I'm just about every play so when you're slowing it down like that and they're going to doing the review like that I I really think it's just gotta be I've always felt like there should be like two

45:30penalties like one for the most egregious ones and another should be a five-yard but I don't know I don't know what exactly what the answer is but I think it's just I don't like the application of the rule in general the way that they do it because I think about that that game that we played against Clemson when we got the remember we got the targeting penalty on my way on the side I shot away on the the sack of Trevor like to be there is no way in the world that is targeting but that got called for targeting and so until you address that to me that's way worse than this stuff about first penalty second penalty in the third period one game half game no game whatever I just hate the rule period and you know until they change that then you know I don't I don't know where to go with that I mean how what do you think about targeting what do you ask how do you feel about the application and how do you feel about how the rules been been called in recent years I mean you you kind of just spoke my mind and you brought up that shot away targeting

46:33penalty to me is the chair is it's the crown jewel of terribleness when it comes to targeting and it's no it's not just because I'm a book I fan he dropped his head sunshine dropped his head right at the moment when shineway was coming if he doesn't drop his head they don't call targeting and they still shouldn't have called target because it wasn't targeting like to meter has to be common sense to it you review it you see all the player dropped his head like come on man like listen I one thing I do agree with Joe clap is it's it's a it's a the rule is terrible because it's so subjective you can have a guy do one thing and get caught and then another guy another game through the same thing I get caught so listen you spoke my mind I don't really have much else to say you're right on it but that's shineway play against Clemson that was so trash and that's still haunts me is like two two plays in that game but like the worst plays in my book I fandom of officiating so

47:40yeah I'm kind of happy to see that they're not getting go ahead no I just because I know the second one was the akuda one were you know on the on the the fun bowl recurring yeah which is the worst call in the history of calls but I think it goes to a more basic thing and this is something we've talked about before but it's it's about replay and you know replay was set up to reverse indisputable video evidence of air on the field indisputable meaning no two reason available people could draw different conclusions from watching the same tape I feel the same way should be with targeting if it's not so clear and obvious you can't call targeting you know with review review should not be I think or oh yeah that looks like or yeah that appears to be it should only be black and white I think targeting should only be black and white I think review should only be black and white and and I think too many times the review official the guy they

48:42want to get involved they want to make the big call they want to do the thing and I just think until they change that until they get the application right on on replay I think it it dribbles into into targeting as well I think they should be the same standard indisputable video it should have to be it's indisputable video evidence of targeting like there's no question in your mind it shouldn't be well yeah that that kind of looked like that or wow he did come drop a cell and there's any doubt it shouldn't be a penalty that's just where I'm at and that's how I feel about review about replaying and and you know I've been saying that for years about replay yeah you have you've been consistent with replay and so I agree I mean I don't dislike this one year trial I think it's cool that guys aren't I think it predict protects guys from bad refereeing so that they don't get ejected for a half a game your best player because of a bad call so I like that now what's going to happen after that trial we'll see but I thought that was interesting in the midst of the NCAA

49:47tournament I thought that was a significant piece of information to update so definitely wanted to run that by one but listen a tough day did not end the way we wanted it to end it is what it is we'll see how the future holds with Devler and what Ohio State does and all that and we'll absolutely keep you up on that but spring practice is back next week we'll get on that and we're always going to hit you with content and coverage all things buckeye football basketball whatever's relevant we're going to hit you with any last words and about it for the hop off here well yeah now that I mean look we can officially kind of close the book on buckeye basketball you know obviously they'll you know kind of work on get ready for for next year be interested to see who they who they return who they get in the portal you know what's going on with that but you know hey buckeye football is going and we're gonna have it we're gonna have a scrimmage next weekend and that that'll be those are always fun because then we really get to see the ball trip line for sure and top G center

50:52super chat thanks for the one and I gotta go this program needs a caliperio patino so yeah we're going to see we are going to see I agree we deserve an elite coach you know are we can devler be an elite coach three four years from now maybe is it worth waiting to see I don't know either way we you know is we going to see in Nevada I'm waiting to hear from your contacts your agent folks to see what's really going on but you know time will tell I will tell what do you think about those names caliperio patino I know he doesn't mean literally them but it looks like he's saying this program needs a caliperio patino type coach would you think about that well I you know I wouldn't mind somebody was from stature I wouldn't even mind somebody was some stature in some baggage I don't that that stuff doesn't bother me I think I think all of college basketball recruiting is the little crooked and people can say what they want about that but that's just the way that I feel I feel like I know that industry will enough to know how dirty that is so if they had to get

51:54somebody was some that's that I don't have a problem with it either that or you know you go with the last honest man the last honest man coaching you know you get from the cheese it should get b-moses you get b-moses and you bring them in there and you're like look we're going to go with ethicalness we're going to go with you're kind of coach Carter you can put like hey you're like my reputations up there on the wall there guys I'm just putting them up there and can lead us to victory the old like you did the cheesets and the cheesets came together like this year they were like a like a disputed group they come out there and you molded them into champions they all woke up in the cheesies when at the end of the day they're definitely cheesies at the end of the day do I have my cheesy graphic or is my cheesy graphic I didn't upload it here did I didn't get I wanted to share it on my house to upload it oh no there it is there it is right here did it pop up oh that's got to be that's got to be that's got to be a Halloween costume
