0:00.0	We are always glad to be joined by the one and the only Notre Dame women's basketball, coach Neil Ivey.
0:18.8	How are you today, coach?
0:19.9	I'm great.
0:20.6	How are you? I'm great. How are you?
0:21.4	I'm awesome. You know, it's funny. I was sitting here this morning as I was preparing to do this,
0:27.3	and it kind of dawned on me. You and Muffet both became grandmothers within a relatively, you know,
0:35.1	short amount of time, maybe what, within a year or so of each other? And I think
0:39.0	you beat her to the punch. Did you ever give Muffet, you know, like any grandmotherly, you know,
0:44.2	mentoring advice or anything like that? I have not yet. We're going to meet up. And both of our

1:38.5	that you've been a coach? Absolutely. I think every year has been a different dynamic shift.
1:43.9	I would say NIL and transfer portal after my second season after COVID.
1:49.4	So I feel like that has been pretty much the subject of conversation a lot with coaches and also just recruiting.
1:57.3	You know, you're either in the transfer portal or the retention of your own roster.
2:02.6	And NIL is a big piece of the discussion for recruits.
2:07.3	Well, how does it typically come up? Is it something that you as a coaching staff will say,
2:13.7	hey, we've got great NIL or does it come up from, you know, the recruits?
