Let's get into it. We're back. I hope better than ever. I hope no glitch in this time.

I hope my club days are over. I'm a bald man these days. I don't belong in no club,

and I don't belong, sounded like somebody who belongs in a club. Hopefully today, first episode since that episode, we're totally glitch free. I think we're back. I think we're back. I think we're back. I think I faked you out. We're back. We're good to go here. We have our annual mailbag episode, and these questions have been emailed, shouts to cbs at gmail com some of them are less than 48 hours old a few of them they're a couple of months old so this

is my annual reminder at the top of every mailbag show whenever you feel impulse to send us something

absolutely send it along we can't squeeze everything in i try and vary up the questions here but we got plenty of presence for you i hope everyone has had a wonderful holiday christmas week we are pre-taping this just another disclaimer here this is happening before christmas the show is going live the day after christmas we're ready to go we got some fun ones here it's great to be with you gp all right you want to get uh you want to get going with the mailbag i got question number one it's all teed up Let's go. I've some fun ones here. It's great to be with you, GP. All right. You want to get going with

the mailbag? I got question number one. It's all teed up. Let's go. I've got my mini driver out. Question number one is all teed up. It comes from Garrett. He's from Arkansas. He emails. He says, I love when you guys go down memory lane and tell stories from the early 2000s. I started following college hoops in 2012-ish. So my question, what are some of your favorite coaches to almost take another job story? Norlander, I'll let you go first. Well, there's a lot of, this was, I love the thought-provoking ones. This was a very thought-provoking. I've got a number of candidates here. I'm going to mention a few biggies. Coach Kay seriously considering taking the Lakers job in 2004, like folks listening to this podcast that just got into college hoops two years ago, four years ago, even eight years ago, you might not be totally aware of that, but it was a major, major deal. Think about where Kobe Bryant was in his career. He didn't take the job. And I do wonder if he had Johnny Dawkins almost definitely gets that job. Kay is not considered arguably the greatest college basketball coach ever if he goes to Los Angeles and does a good job. He might be considered the best basketball coach if he was amazing there. But it's a very interesting what if Dawkins would have taken the Duke job. Is Duke now what it would have been had he taken the job?

I don't know.

That's a very interesting one.
