Your favorite memory of Greg Cody on the air? I want to ask both of you. I'll go first to give you guys some time, and you may have the very same answer, but part of the cheat code with Greg Cody was the hard network out because it was a struggle getting him approved by ESPN.

I think you're trying to get out early and I'm not going to let you have that. We move on to Stan Van Gundy. Now, Stan Van Gundy, we didn't really know beyond your own personal relationship with him. Sugatsu and I, all we knew was this is a former head coach of the Miami Heat and Orlando Magic. When Hawk left, Stan Van Gundy was in between head coaching jobs and he brought us instant credibility.
