00:00 One, I'll just tell you about Hubert.
00:01 I think he's done a great job and we probably have a lot of empathy for
00:07 each other, taking over two programs that are as good as any program in the country.
00:12 And with that comes a lot of exciting things, right?
00:16 You get to coach great players and you have people that care about your program and
00:22 the success of it, also comes a lot of scrutiny.
00:25 And I think he's done just a great job coaching his guys,
00:30 focusing on what matters.
00:32 And he's got his team rolling.
00:37 He's got his team playing really well.
00:38 And I don't think they give out Coach of the Year awards or
00:41 Player of the Year awards halfway through.
00:43 But for him, you can't say he hasn't done as good of a job as anybody.
00:47 He's done a terrific job and I have a ton of respect for him and
00:52 who he is as a coach and also who he is as a person.
00:56 He's a good dude and it's a lot of mutual respect and
01:01 honor to play against him and coach against him.
