Dirk ChatelainGUEST
But it just, the material was so good, Marty.
Dirk ChatelainGUEST
I mean, you know, you go back and you, not only this 25-26 season, but you start going through the Danny Nee era and the Joe Cipriano stuff and the Tim Miles stuff.
Dirk ChatelainGUEST
And there's just, I don't know, it's a little bit crazy that this stuff had never been packaged into one project before.
Marty PlumHOST
Mm-hmm.
Marty PlumHOST
So we started with Creighton.
Marty PlumHOST
And so this program, which you've heard a lot about, and it's been ever so close, you know, 86, I think it was when they were the three seed and they were upset by Xavier.
Marty PlumHOST
Just what in your estimation, Dirk, between Cipriano and then, you know, Mo Iba, Danny Nee, Barry Collier, Tim Miles, Doc.
Marty PlumHOST
why did it take so dang long for this thing to get going? Because you have a passionate fan base.
Fran FraschillaGUEST
I would say this.
Fran FraschillaGUEST
I talk a lot about what it's like going from an assistant coach – to Danny Nee, who was my first mentor at Ohio U, then to Gary Williams at Ohio State, and finally on to Rick Barnes at Providence, where we were the young guns back in the late 80s, early 90s.
Fran FraschillaGUEST
You know, we were fighting for our lives.
Fran FraschillaGUEST
I was an assistant coach.
John GaskinsHOST
directly to your mind in one millisecond.
John GaskinsHOST
Norm Stewart, Danny Nee, and Johnny Orr.
John GaskinsHOST
Yeah,
Mark TurgeonGUEST
I got a bunch of them.
Doug VaughnHOST
I'd love to go.
Tim McKernanHOST
I've been, I went to a game, but Danny Nee was on the sidelines.
Tim McKernanHOST
My guy from Nebraska, still coaching.
KurtPANELIST
Right.
Fran FraschillaGUEST
The teenagers in my neighborhood took me to St. Patrick's Cathedral when I was 12 years old.
Fran FraschillaGUEST
I was influenced early by sports and coaching, and then to be a young coach as an assistant to guys like Danny Nee, who was at Ohio U but had great success at Nebraska, Gary Williams, Rick Barnes is still going strong, being a head coach myself.
Fran FraschillaGUEST
the old Big East with Rick Barnes.
Fran FraschillaGUEST
We were coaching against John Thompson and Rolly Massimino and Jim Boeheim, Jim Calhoun.
Fran FraschillaGUEST
In Columbia, I never would have been the guy that replaced him in the Big 12.
Fran FraschillaGUEST
So 23 years of coaching, lots of stories of people I work with, Rick Barnes, Gary Williams, Danny Nee.
Fran FraschillaGUEST
By the way, Danny Nee fired me five times, but he hired me six, DX Marine.
Fran FraschillaGUEST
And...
Fran FraschillaGUEST
It just flowed and I'm really excited about the book because I'm not the hero of the book.
Bill BuschHOST
One bad year.
Jake SorensenHOST
It was the same thing for Danny Nee.
Jake SorensenHOST
He didn't, he had one bad year, and he was gone then after that.
Jake SorensenHOST
He had a, a good run of success.
Jake SorensenHOST
Look at his, look at his resume.
Jake SorensenHOST
That, it was, it was one terrible year, and he was gone.
Jake SorensenHOST
Danny Nee.
Jake SorensenHOST
Didn't have quite the length of success that Dana Altman had for 16 years at Oregon, but Danny Nee had the one season that really got him.
Fran FraschillaGUEST
You know, instead of automatically number one 'cause of Coop- Cooper or, or Cam Boozer last year.
Fran FraschillaGUEST
But it's a different team 'cause there is no one player who you could say, "Well, this guy's not only gonna be a National Player of the Year candidate," which obviously both of them, uh, won the award.
Fran FraschillaGUEST
Uh, there's nobody like that.
Fran FraschillaGUEST
But certainly it's a deep Duke team.
Fran FraschillaGUEST
I mean, I saw 10 guys that I think could really help.
Fran FraschillaGUEST
Um, Drew, uh, did not practice yesterday, uh, so he...
Fran FraschillaGUEST
I didn't get a chance to see him.
JJ JacksonHOST
... everywhere, and I don't know that it ever goes this well.
