awesome, thx.

fyi- they stream

[WilliamTheWildcat]

"Do you have any suggestions?"  Huggs to Petro re: defending Durant.

[icatmember]

I love how Huggs was being sarcastic about having any suggestions and he just launched into a huge gameplan he thought up.

[WilliamTheWildcat]

"Roy Williams didn't like zone."- Petro

"Roy played zone against us in the great 8 for the entire second half". -Huggs.  

[michigancat]

Petro is an annyong I-think-I-know-it-all.

Worst in KC radio.

[WilliamTheWildcat]

I love Huggs.  He just deadpans every answer.  

[ksu_FAN]

Huggs destroys the final 4.

[KSt8er]

Huggs sounds like he's reading the paper while trying to maintain very little attention to the questions.  Man he's one sarcastic SOB....which I redily admire!  

[fatty fat fat]

Awesome.

[WildCatzPhreak]

I tuned it right when he was done talking about UT apparently.  I got there when they were talking about the tickets.


So, what exactly did he say about the gameplan vs UT?

[WILDCAT NATION]

KK is an annyong I-think-I-know-it-all.

Worst in KC radio.

Fixed it fer ya...

[WilliamTheWildcat]

How many games do you have to win - of the remaining 9 - to be assured a NCAA berth?

Huggs- "Nine".

Will you watch the Super Bowl?

Huggs: (audible sigh) "Yes".

He had Petro just stuttering and stammering.  Hilarious.  You KNOW Petro got off the phone and just cursed Huggs fo being so bland.

[jmlynch1]

I love how Huggs makes interviewers absolutley terrified of him. I could just picture the look on Petro's face when Huggs said, "I don't want to hear you talk about Roy like that."

[WilliamTheWildcat]

So, what exactly did he say about the gameplan vs UT?

Not much really.  He asked Petro what he'd do and Petro went into a stuttering spiel about a mixture of zone and man.

Higgs said:  "Yea".

[Joker]

Gotta love Hugg's style.

Maybe Prince can take some notes on how to do an interview Huggie style?

[ksu_FAN]

We got Petro's gameplan for UT.  Huggs didn't show his cards at all.

[WILDCAT NATION]

had my co-worker listen to it (she's not really into sports)...she was rolling by the end...

[michigancat]

Keitz is an entertainer.  He is great at entertaining.

Petro fancies himself a junior x's and o's guru.  He sucks at X's and O's.

[fatty fat fat]

Rusty nails it.

Kietz railing on Wooldridge last year = he was vindicated

Kietz railing on Mangino last year saying Pinkel was better = he was vindicated

[ksu_FAN]

Yeah, Petro acts like he spent 10-15 years coaching basketball, football, and baseball sometimes.  Maybe even hockey on the side, though I will give him that he doesn't claim soccer.

Kietz does radio like he's a fan, and he's just as reactionary as your average fan which leads to the preposterous statements he sometimes makes.  However, I agree he's a very good entertainer.  I can live without turning on Petro, though I will listen, but I try to listen to Kietz's show when I can b/c its fun to listen to most of the time. 

[WildGunman]

Does anyone here think that we will ever get to a point where the interviews with Huggins aren't completely filled with awkward silence?

Based on Huggins' ability to switch from sarcasm to blunt honesty in the blink of an eye....my guess is no.  The interviewers will always be confused.

[michigancat]

Does anyone here think that we will ever get to a point where the interviews with Huggins aren't completely filled with awkward silence?

I sure hope not.  I love those awkward silences.

Stan gets the best ones.

Stan gets the best ones.

Stan: "so coach, you're down at the half. what kind of adjustments do you need to make to get back in this game?"
Huggs: *glares* "we need to play better defense"
Stan: "ye' ye' yes masta."

[AzCat]

It's easy to see why certain members of the press might hate Huggins if they had to cover him on a consistent basis.

[michigancat]

Also, some of the best interviews I've heard are the pregame interviews with Wyatt or Stan - they usually go unnoticed by most.

Before the MU game:


Stan:  Now that you're playing the Nortards a second time, is your preparation any different?

Huggs:  *long pause*........no...........we pretty much do the exact same things we normally would.



Before the ISU game:

Wyatt:  How will ISU defend you?

Huggs:  Well, they'll probably just stand in the lane and watch us miss shots like everyone else.

[WildGunman]

I'm guessing that Huggins gets many a chuckle about toying with the media while he's alone in his office.

He can weave a tapestry of sarcasm, dry humor, and blunt honesty that is simply amazing.

[Kat Kid]

Some guy over at the phog is claiming that Huggins compares unfavorably to the likes of Parcells and Bob Knight based on what he's seen in interviews.  Let me know when Huggins hangs up on succsessive Big XII media conference calls and has had half of the on-court antics of Knight.

Doctor Hilliday chimes in with: he can't recruit at all, he just hires assistant coaches to do that because his personality is so horrible and "curmudgeon"-like
