00:00but georgia basketball the conversation is a bigger conversation about how guys keep jobs
00:06lose jobs talk about firing guys when you have a microphone in front of you and all those different
00:11things and and that to me i mean what happened last night with georgia basketball was one of
00:15the most humiliating things that i've ever seen in my life i mean georgia was the way the problem
00:21mistake that that that's the second time it's happened you also get beat last week in nashville
00:26so the momentum there is you don't even want it you don't win a game in any tournament their last
00:31three tournament games nashville and the two ncaa tournaments they've lost a combined by 60 70
00:36points it looks like there's no effort they were so thoroughly outcoached i don't care if you're
00:42coaching in marietta middle school girls you know 10 and under if you know anything about basketball
00:52the outcoaching of mike white last night was a level that was so embarrassing they're running
01:00an offense of backdoor screens and total motion big boy pick and roll and just went to work and he's
01:06a
01:06great passer who the big boy yeah robbie avila yeah man hey um great passer the most points given up
01:14in
01:1420 years in the ncaa tournament in the paint the most points this is a three-point era right they
01:20had
01:20and oh by the way you're the bigger team you're bigger right you're bigger thank you you're bigger
01:24at three spots 66 points in the paint is the most in two decades in the ncaa tournament and that's
01:33what georgia gave up listen i understand i was out here talking about beating alabama and you beat
01:38texas and then you beat kentucky had that three game wins big wins yeah but when the lights are the
01:46brightest when your fan base it's like you know i talked to my daughter in athens everybody was out
01:51at a bar last night and they're they're not that into it i'm not gonna lie to you they're they're
01:56basketball doesn't resonate and the reason it doesn't is when everybody puts your eyes on it
02:00you saw two years in a row the game was over in three minutes so mike white yes he is
02:07he is despondent
02:08he is um he knows he knows they're not firing him the eyes in the discussions will be in that
02:18building is we were spending to win games in the tournament we're not spending to get historic
02:25losses how can i feel good as the boss of mike white when todd golden is winning national titles at
02:32florida he was fired he comes over here now let's say he built the program he built the program
02:38through money understand that's all that matters money not coaching now coaching matters once you
02:44get into these games but money is about how you go and pay for players which georgia has done how
02:49could i feel good as the athletic director at the university of georgia being the boss of mike white
02:55if i now have seen him in the most critical times in our program and watched us literally look like
03:02we
03:02don't want to be there we're not ready to go we don't have an offense we can run versus that
03:07other
03:07team that's in the end of their season like you said rusty we look like we're running out a scrimmage
03:12right yep again you want to put that on tape because you know what to work on right you say
03:17these guys what happens when you don't work here's mike white after the game and by the way this is
03:22after and it's gone somewhat viral who was the one that said that basically we weren't we didn't want
03:28to be here um jeremiah wilkinson i guess he scored 30 yeah he just said yeah we didn't want to
03:33be here
03:33it was obvious you could tell we talked about it at halftime halftime they talked about we got to
03:38play with more effort st louis went 18 nothing out of halftime st louis went 18 nothing out of
03:45halftime i was night and you were i was night night at 10 0 11 0 whatever it was i
03:49was tweeting
03:49and just wasting my time even does anybody even care 404-726-0929 404-726-0929 that was just
03:59and and all right when does a guy get fired or not when is the guy's job on the line
04:04here's mike
04:04white last night disappointed in in our effort uh starting with myself that obviously we weren't
04:11very we weren't very prepared to to compete at the level that uh that i thought we would
04:18did not see this coming tough way to end a season didn't give st louis uh much of a game
04:24honestly again i uh just being honest with you i did not see that coming uh expected to win the
04:30game
04:30these guys have practiced really hard all week been locked in and in our preparation and uh played as
04:37disconnected as we've played all season that's a great word for awful performance disconnected
04:46he was asked about lackluster smurf millinder and jeremiah wilkinson saying they felt like there
04:52was a lack of effort he says i can't dodge that we played with less effort than we did in
04:56any game
04:57this year and it's not even close the last group or two mustered up some turnovers everything else
05:02um but i'll have to go back and look did we go too long did we practice too long blah
05:08blah blah on
05:09and on the worst effort of our season i don't know man i've watched listen i was in a town
05:15you looked
05:16outcoached you looked outcoached you didn't you didn't adjust anything we're doing they kept running
05:21plays and they kept they would call a set two points i can't tell you how many more georgia
05:26basketball fans i know than tech basketball fans right now in terms of committed like i have guys
05:31that i play ball you know you know uh hang out with play some ball with that go to every

05:41in real money to that program so like there are a lot of folks that are like we want to
05:47be good at
05:47sec basketball and i don't know what you say so i started on last night on dogs hq on our
05:53message
05:54board i started a thread the georgia st louis game thread at 934 steak it has 493 replies this morning
06:03and let me tell you what those 493 we never get 493 replies for a basketball game that's how much
06:10attention was on that this first school ever to lose back-to-back games like that in the 8-9
06:16game
06:16they were two of the worst games if if georgia was a 16 seed if kennesaw state lost like that
06:23and they were a 14 going up against uh illinois i would have said all due respect to kennesaw state
06:30you need more effort and they were 14 that was yeah against gonzaga sorry yeah uh against gonzaga uh
06:36penn played illinois i would have said that to because it was it's a just go watch some of those
06:44lower
06:44seeds yesterday how they competed dude how they just said we are gonna we may lose was it howard
06:51yesterday yeah watch our michigan yes they were hitting 30s well how about the way they played
06:56yes you know they lost 101 to 80 you know no shame in that whatsoever they're they're you know they're
07:03getting after it i watched penn lose by 35 to illinois they were competing like what was they georgia was
07:10favored in that game 404-726-0929 i i've told the story before and georgia if this was a georgia
07:19football situation everything would be on the table right everything would be on the table in boston if
07:25you know the story of when they came back a year later and uh came back from 3-0 the
07:30year before
07:31was one decision made there were 100 win team and grady little left pedro martinez in a game for too
07:37long
07:37right left him in a game uh that was deciding game seven and they lost the game guy uh had
07:44just
07:44had 100 win season the guy had um you know by all indications had a spectacular year uh could have
07:51been up for manager of the year and the decision was made we can't keep him after that not that
07:56decision one decision yeah one decision he lost his job and then terry francona came in my point is
08:02sometimes you can't survive even one you know like the fan base won't they won't they won't allow
08:07that that was so egregious that one decision cost us a championship and sometimes it's so egregious
08:15mike white's lack of um coaching in that last year you still have so let me give you that he's
08:24going to
08:24be there and he's going to the pressure is going to be on him you still have a great environment
08:29in
08:29basketball a still good crowd you still play great teams mike white to win this job and win this
08:36win this fan base back he has to win a game in the tournament next year he has to not
08:41show up at
08:41compete state they need to win a game in the tournament next year you know what there's he's
08:47because i'll say this now georgia before him i know was a was it's about the but rusty now they're
08:52spending money with everybody else i agree like what am i going to give the guy credit for i'm telling
08:56you the pressure's on now they're not firing him now they just made back-to-back tournaments listen
