00:00 Right now I have Andy Hill, who's been with me the last two years.
00:03 He was with Larry Christobiak at Utah for ten years.
00:07 So he's had plenty of high major experience.
00:09 He's tremendous internationally.
00:11 And we're down the line with some other guys too that I can't comment on right now.
00:17 >> Sure you can.
00:18 >> Yeah, yeah.
00:18 >> [LAUGH] >> I wish I could.
00:20 >> One more real quick, what's your index?
00:22 >> Index what?
00:23 >> For golf.
00:24 >> Not very good.
00:25 >> [LAUGH] >> I haven't played for
00:26 the last two years.
00:27 I haven't had time.
00:28 But whoever it is, they're gonna make some money on balls cuz I'm gonna lose
00:32 a bunch of balls.
00:33 >> Danny, can the style that you played maybe this year at Utah State,
00:37 can that translate to success in the Big Ten?
00:40 >> Yeah, no doubt cuz I mean, we played fast.
00:43 We played as fast as anybody on misses and turnovers, which you have to do, and
00:47 I want our guys to do.
00:48 But I thought also, we didn't have physical players except for a couple,
00:54 but we played physical cuz that's how we coach them to play.
00:57 And I know you have to do that.
00:59 I mean, it's gonna be half court games whether you wanna play fast or not.
01:02 I know how it is playing against Coach Painter now.
01:04 I played against him twice at Fullerton also.
01:07 And they're gonna dictate the style of play too.
01:10 But we have to have our system and formulated and
01:14 we gotta be able to make people adapt to us.
01:16 But I think our system with some of the talent that we'll be able to get with
01:21 some elite level players, no doubt we will.
01:24 >> Next question.
01:25 Moving forward, what do you think the biggest adjustment is going to be for
01:27 you, whether it be recruiting, whether it be moving into the Big Ten or play style?
01:32 What do you think is gonna be the biggest adjustment for you?
01:34 >> I think coaching's coaching.
01:38 I think it's gonna be a huge transition for all these schools going to the Big Ten.
01:43 And I think it's gonna be a transition for
01:44 the Big Ten schools dealing with UCLA, USC, us and Oregon.
01:48 And so just that transition and that change, it's gonna be different for
01:52 everybody.
01:53 It is, like I said, it's a different style of play, different kids.
01:58 And who knows how long it takes to adapt to that, but
02:01 I just know what we have to do.
02:03 And I can't worry about what Purdue's doing.
02:04 I can't worry about what Ohio State's doing.
02:07 We just have to coach our team, get the best players we can, and
02:10 coach the hell out of them.
02:11 >> Thank you, Coach.
