If you put your effort and concentration and to play into your potential to be the best that you can be, I don't care what the scoreboard says at the end of the game. In my books, we're going to be winners.

The talent for so many players today, the talent and the spotlight, it's taking them to heights that their character's not strong enough to support.

I'm one of those set goals achievements.

I talked about faith, passion, obviously, the drive with the guys that I've been around

and the guys that surround me every single day.

If I want to be one of the best, I've got to play with and against the best.

So that which gets praised, gets with beautiful.

You're listening to the Hardwood Hustle, brought you by PGC basketball.

Welcome to Hardwood Hustle. This is T.J. Roseanne. I'm alongside Graham Maxwell. We're going to talk a little bit about Tom Izzo and him and this player's conversation he had in the middle of the NCAA tournament the other day. A lot of buzz going on around that. We're going to give our opinions and our thoughts on it.

And I'd love to hear your opinions and thoughts on it. Before we do, let's get a quick shout out to our friends over at ShotTracker. What are you measuring? What are you measuring in practice?

So the other day is a pretty you know pretty big deal a

lot of people are talking about it but i'll just give you the the gist of the rundown is that

they're in the nca tournament and um you know one of is those players he got into a uh he got

mad during a timeout the player was coming over he kind of ran on the floor got really

animated with him another player kind of stepped in and broke it up and anyways he did he did moment

there's a lot of people that didn't like it and there's some other people that said hey he's just

coaching there's a lot of varied opinions on it so what were your opinions when you saw coaches on

the nCA tournament really when you see coaches on the NCAA tournament? Really, when you

see that happen in general with coaches, but specifically in the Izzo situation. Yeah, I would say
