You need to pick up the play.
It was all suggestive.
It was all helpful.
It was a genuine effort to learn from each other and a genuine effort to figure out how to get better and make those adjustments.
And then you even that piece at the end where John shower comes in is it
You can hear it in his voice.
It's kind of like, you guys already said everything I was going to say, so let's do these fine-tuned things and these details, and let's go out and win this ballgame.
And so the ability, just from that, right, just that little clip, everyone's focusing on the clip from last week, and they rightfully should.
but we've had the look of the progression from that game against Tennessee till now.
And that is why we're so optimistic about what this team can do the rest of the season, because we've seen that growth, not just from the players and their leadership, but also from John Shire and how he approaches these tight moments and seeing how these guys can come out for a second half and really just, you know, be able to turn it on and win the game.
Slim was doing X's and O's on the board, right?
On the whiteboard.
He's sitting there with the marker going, when these two guys are here, we need somebody here.
And he's drawing where that help side defense needed to come from.
He's drawing where the guy that's on the help side with him, like, hey, when he comes into the lane, you've got to protect both of these guys because he's got to protect the lane from the throw-in over here.
And you can see in the second half, now that you see the second half and you see how they reacted to some of the moves that Michigan did, you can tell that was discussed in the locker room.
Now that we have this video, you can go, oh, that play right here,
was drawn up here the drawing up of the play after the timeout with the with the alley-oop to slim you could see how he was like hey all game they haven't been switching so this time they're not going to switch when you do this you're going to be wide open like that's just chess that this is why jason we just talk about the game we don't need we don't need to do this um like what john shire and what these guys are doing these guys are on another level than a lot of people and that's why they're none of one team in the country
Well, Jason, I do want to give you those updated numbers because they're even more impressive.
