This was his first podcast??? Is that true? If so, good for JB. Would love him to go on with Zach Lowe to chat NBA. Or if One Shining Podcast with Tate Frazier comes back, he'd be great on that too.

He was self-deprecating off the jump, which was funny.

One note, he talked about having our best player out and judging how good a team is. He used Burrow/Bengals as an example. Used Syracuse losing their QB this year for football. High praise for Donnie.

As noted, talked about more money needed for NIL. Oregon spent $40M on football he said. Also said FSU has a lot of money to spend on football and not winning, so not a guarantee. But you need money to compete at the highest level.

He reiterated how hard it is to lose your best player.

Ceiling for the team: Says that if they make their FTs, they are 8-2 and almost ranked. To get into the tourney need quad 1 wins and can get them this year in the acc.

Getting better at FTs simple or no? There is a lot to it. They practice FTs every day. It becomes a mental thing. He notes he had some bad FT shooting team. But they made more FTs than the other team shot. Can't have the amount of misses that we had against Houston.

If we can get to 65% or so shooting FTs and get Donnie back, we'll be right there.

Basically also says that people will always blame the HC no matter what.

Says you lose because of everything -- rebounding, missed too many shots, allowed too many etc etc. But HC always catches the blame (and he did admit that is part of the job to take the blame).
