00:00All right, let's hear from the Texas Tech head coach Mike
00:03Yeah, he was of course as you would be after a big comeback like that
00:08So proud and I'll tell you what it boils down to
00:10These guys just want to win man
00:12And if we tell them that we're not making and we got to go get offensive rebounds and we got to do it
00:17I thought Kevin Overton's offensive rebound was huge. That was maybe the one that got pitched out. They got Christian going but man
00:23It's just the way I'll tell you what it is the belief that we got to find a way and that's the biggest part of
00:28This team they'll do whatever it takes shoot shoot a bunch of threes go into the post offensive rebounds
00:35Whatever it takes this team does it?
00:38So let's just be clear
00:40First of all, this guy was allegedly in the running for the Indiana job and all these other jobs
00:47Texas everything else but you know, I gotta tell you the strange thing about it was I'll never forget
00:54Bob Knight telling me how much he loved Lubbock and I know I loved Lubbock cuz he's a he was a hunter and a fisherman
01:01The guy was obsessed with hunting and fishing like that and golf back in the day when he was a little younger
01:08He played a lot of golf and he could really hit a golf ball 300 yards
01:12I mean like nothing you've ever seen this guy Bob Knight wailing on a golf ball, but
01:16He loved Lubbock and Lubbock. Let me just tell you is in the middle of effing nowhere
01:21I mean it there is absolutely like your dog will run away for three days like in Edmonton like the dog, you know
01:27There's nothing to do there nothing but for some reason
01:32People like it there and and I'm not even being mean I like night loved it
01:37I think McCaslin likes it there
01:40I think he's staying there and I think he's got a great basketball program going on in Lubbock at Texas Tech and
01:46Think about it ever since Bob Knight went down there
01:50They've been winning
01:51They got a good basketball program their basketball program is better than their football program and that's just all there is to it
01:58I think that guy it would behoove him to stay there and just keep doing his thing
02:02Because there really are no other good jobs left you and I just heard this nonsense
02:07I don't I don't buy it about Buzz Williams that he's gonna go to Maryland. I
02:11You said it best, right?
02:12He's from Texas and the deep pockets in the SEC and in Texas with a and M don't spend more money than God
02:19You already know Maryland's cheap
02:21Kevin Willard's leaving because of it
02:24Yeah, we'll talk about that in a moment makes no sense to me whatsoever
02:28And one thing about Bobby Knight with Lubbock, you know Calipari the day before yesterday
02:34This was that on Wednesday when he did the you know, the pregame press conference
02:38He did talk about going to see night in
02:42Lubbock
02:43And spending some time with him down there and how Bob would just Bobby Knight would just tell him how much he loves it
02:49Took him to some restaurant there
02:53Like Calipari had like a 10-minute story about
02:57Visiting Bob Knight down in Lubbock when he was the Texas Tech head coach
03:01And it was just the greatest place
03:05Like you know and he loved baseball and I mean he really loved baseball and
03:10DiMaggio and all of it. No one knew more baseball than Bob Knight and imagine sitting on a boat with him
03:16He used to go out on those little skiffs and go fishing
03:20Like you see the guy with his son on the lake with the little skiff
03:24And he's sitting on the one end and the kids on the other and he'd sit out there all day literally all day long
03:31Fishing and he would tell more stories than God
03:36Like this guy could tell you basketball stories that would make your your mind melt
03:43Like the guy told stories better than anyone and then and I'm telling you I know I have a fascination with him
03:49I've never seen anyone as a public speaker better than him
03:52He would go into a room full of people and just take over and tell stories and Calipari just confirmed it
03:59He talks about going to see him. There's no there was no one like him, even though he was a massive D
