Doc Interview On Dennis & Callahan

What did you tell your team you wanted to fix from last year — areas where you wanted to be better?

Well, it sounds strange to you, but I thought we could improve defensively, number one. I told them as good as we’ve been the last two years … Last year I felt we slipped a little bit. Obviously, once Kevin went down it had a big impact on it. I thought we had to refocus on being a great defensive team. The second thing I thought we had to do was take care of the basketball. And the third thing, I thought offensively, is share the ball more. I thought last year the ball stopped a lot. We held on to the ball to try to make our own play. If we just move the ball and play together and keep the floor spaced offensively we’ll be in great shape. So, those are the three things. But at the end of the day, in any sport, the team has to be a team. When you bring in different guys, different chemistry guys, the whole key to your season is how quickly they can form into a team.

On KG:

Are your concerns about Kevin’s knee alleviated completely? Are we over that?

I am. I think he’s fine. When you come back from an injury like that, or any injury where you miss an extended period of time, you’re more concerned about the other injuries that pop up coming back — hamstring pulls and things like that, tendinitis, which he’s actually having. So, those are the things you’re more concerned about. There are many concerns. You know there’s a possibility that it could take him out of a practice or even a game here or there. But overall, the best news from Kevin is that he has no knee pain. That’s great news. As a matter of fact, over the last two or three years, he’s had knee pain. But he has none. So, that makes you feel great.

Dennis and Callahan are unlistenable — so kudos to you, Roy, for saving us the pain of having to wade through all their audio sandpaper!

I don't even know how the show works...

Do they randomly mix in politics and sports? Or are the two segmented out?

random

Seems like it’s mainly Callahan’s obsession and Dennis goes along for the ride, but it can come up in any discussion, about sports or otherwise. It would be great if it were segmented out — then folks could no when to switch back to the show… As it is, I stopped listening to them a while ago, after one too many “screaming at the radio” sessions. My blood pressure gets enough of a workout following KG’s injury! :)
