Like, I got a young son that plays like Ty. People have heard me talk about him before. Right. And he plays in a program that that it's a very good Under Armour program. But the guy who coaches him at the Under Armour level isn't his high school coach. Right. And I kind of stay out of it. Like, I just watch him play.

And what I said to his coach who asked me the question, I said, hey, man, That's fine. Like he's going to beat a lot of teams doing that. Like you just rolling it out and telling him to go get 20. It's fine. I was like, but when you see those teams that are going to stack a defense, they know all of his tendencies to do all of that.

And I, the only reason I'm, I'm, I'm really dialed in is because it just happened a couple of weeks ago, which is like, look, if your only option to shoot a three is having to like wiggle your man and, and, and come, you know, and, and shoot a three off the bounce or come off of pick and roll, which they can take away by sending by, by just staying with you as a secondary defender, like you're not going to get many of those.
