Automatically Generated Transcript (may not be 100% accurate)

Let's talk about the NCAA championship game last night and joining -- side in the -- holly leadoff spot on the AT&T hotline AT&T your world delivered. As a buddy Tim Welsh a -- Good morning guys.

Attempt. You've got started talking about Al -- and his recruiting philosophy. Is that about right when you're when you're competing against North Carolina I do and Clemson and Wake Forest. Don't you have to go to the kid who. May be is not top fifty but maybe top 75 or top 150.

Well I think there's different levels of that and I think North Carolina obviously is that -- themselves as a top five recruiting program over you know obviously. It seems -- now with. With Roy Williams but there's I think Barkley college and they should not shy away from -- in its Wake Forest -- climbs and I mean about the article lop off earned. Certainly gave prove themselves in the end it terminal record I'm with now as a is an elite program not. Top five in the in the country but in that next level where they you know -- are going to it and the its -- and every year that's it. Now they've they've can still compete with the Florida State to the world there's no question about that probably be carpet. People that they were going to back away from them and you know knowing what I know recruiting -- he certainly can get their -- players.

North Carolina won every game in the tournament by double digits it was a walk in the park last night against Michigan State. Where they clearly at the end of this whole thing in your mind the best college basketball team in the country.

Well did not question bill that the beginning of the year there is they were unanimous number one and now there's good reason for that and they returned everyone from. The team that went to the final four last year they had. Four play Israel and -- Austin green in Ellington and could have went to the NBA really -- in the last twenty years that all of them came back and came back for one reason in the right reasons and that's that you like to see they came back to win -- And yet they -- stock they came back to get in the game last night in a cabinet and it's certainly they had that bumps in the road through these throughout the season and had injuries he inherited. If they lost that in the year -- with that so what they called in man and they played it at -- they're really a joy to watch because. I thought individualism just that teen basketball. Out there in last night in its proper term I mean Alan. Stepping up the loss in public without point that the country that has brought people going to talk about him -- mean for your player -- one of the great. Great players in history college basketball at I agree with the people I talked of Detroit. -- gave bella and I were talking reject that you know this game it. He did a great point if he has -- doesn't become a great pro he'll -- thought -- Jamie you should get somebody on what they do at that level then -- on what they do with the next level Tyler Hansbrough certainly one of the great break out well as we've seen the last 25 years.

I don't think. And that I bet it Fed the multitude --

Now I mean hey you know and and sometimes -- I think in our society today we're we're so used to the kids being done in one or two years. There was someone does state for four years is there are sticking straight about him I don't aren't here anymore he's overrated. And that that really unfortunate and he. The the only cub has went and he's won with dignity to meet late terrifically hardy good team player not out in scoring in. You know today if you ask people inside that program and even inside the ACC -- good young and it's been really active kind of a poster child for a college basketball. And wind all things Google all the things we've seen go wrong with our basketball at. With the scandal and all the bad stuff that happens it's nice to see some of the -- right we shouldn't you have now he doesn't.

I got tired of Tim I just I thought it was a little little over the top but that's alright we commit agreed that Korea and happen after that. Which which guy on this North Carolina team do you think rejects the best. In the NBA.

Well I mean he you look at all the players and ethnic you know target -- is going to draft and you know a long career that mature you break one you know he could be like a -- parent. Played 1415 years in the NBA and be very very solid but keep talking and -- of people I think they have been. There that I that they missed the -- out babyface -- he came on -- term they'd have been starts and embodies. The -- extent long. Alas the enemy has even developed is -- I think Ed I lot of David I think eventually down the road you're gonna see him as -- that emerges as. You know if you -- even now there's been some talk that he could come out after this year because. Of his potential but. I'd argue with a key factor in the -- especially some games like the LSU game. In the second row where they've really had the toughest challenge -- was an automatic panel -- are scoring but then of course Ellington was pretty special as well.

I gotta give credit where credit is -- and and and have to apologize I guess. Because I was Killen Tim Floyd when he's telling his kids and his break up -- they've all got to come back and try to win a national championship the -- on a plane to meet with the folks into -- on the next morning. He did its day but we've seen a lot of new musical chairs coaching carousel things going on here is it just me or is there more than normal this year.

Well I think it's probably on par with years past I think you're seeing a lot of the mid level schools and shied away from making. Change is because of what I have heard the economic situations in different schools you know it's trance. Got into the.

College is you know our economic situation where schools -- saying look we're not gonna. Why are coach in and they have not that is not what we're now we're laying off professes that he actually is -- they want the schools are doing but you know the a lot of universities because of the Alabama of the Georgia is the Virginia's. They -- they don't -- win -- right now and they won't stand -- losing that they've made changes which trickles down to these saviors of the world night -- really picked -- Dakota Arizona I think he struggled with it because he -- their -- Xavier goes into it. It's out there but Arizona is the one job in this -- in college basketball -- he took dapper. I don't really tell you what the numbers over the last ten years usually they're not anywhere between thirtieth if he. -- that this is gonna change every year they let you with a short two short years this year kind of a medium years dale. But -- leaving open the date here which could open up I was out so keep it keep moving for a couple more months and I think that's pretty much on norm.

Keep your phone ready baby keep your phone ready Tim wells he has some job vote jobs open out there that might be appealing today.

And I could c'mon what you guys in the morning. I everything is okay and -- now. You guys every week.

And let me bounce back to North Carolina just for a second and and if you agree with this I saw Raymond -- do a great job -- North Carolina and win -- championship under Roy Williams. And to me Ty Lawson is better there Raymond -- you'd think so.

Well I do I think he handled the point guard position -- say probably a little bit better not as big as great Felton and now they're just looking at this team now this is Roy Williams came when he took over that scene. Pick in 2004. When he won the national championship would mean in the camp. It's it's solving ethnic group to air. Made him yeah yeah I think he'd like that basketball team but you love them and you know any -- it was great coaching is by winning national attention -- this is is that while in your career every one of those players that. I see this special affection I think he has been I think it starts with I lost enemy. Eighteen free throws a last night and -- into an eight steals the defensively. He really. I am going in and brought -- while the push to pop to court there's nobody better than I lost that that note at the next level ought not here because of -- size but. Certainly as a college where I think you know peaking at all second place and by.

From a coach's perspective. And I know Michigan State has a certain style and Tom Izzo loves to attack. But were you surprised they didn't try to slow things up a little bit the first tapped when it looked like a track meet and they were loosened.

Yeah I did I you know partly blocked the run has that been. I think they got into that mode against Connecticut. On Saturday where they start running the all the saw an opportunity to run in. And he connect it up the floor which usually can't do that either but. They pushed the ball in play them at eleven players like six minutes or more so is that though maybe we can play that -- but. Against North Carolina at the different story I thought early in the game they are united -- they. You could listen in the Tommy pregame speech locker room the cameras were there he talked about let's not let them make runs in the North Carolina start run the this is state displayed way to do that I think Tom. He was trying to make of that recently called timeout that they got caught in the paste it into -- is. We really respect they've missed the game. In the Oprah because Carolina just that their -- in state probably should've tried to hold the ball out take. A better shot once they shot too quickly Carolina just turn that indeed --

We have had a chance to talk to you since. Connecticut lost to Michigan State where you were you surprised that. They were able to handle UConn with with that's it was a great game but they handled them pretty easily.

You know I was I was surprised that Connecticut. Are really in way I can handle missed -- state -- and you know AJ prices to the terrific player but. It was one of the key down the stretch for navigating to the final four but. That's about -- this is a great job on -- he got up -- will be didn't let him do it into the paint missed its state had tremendous help the fence. And they got the ball in the early to be in the first part of the game in the second half they really shut down every time touching in touch and good scoring area itself. Medicaid got a little frustrated -- and defenseless when they were but they're not that's I think that let the of their lapses on the defensive. You know I -- this is they outplayed him it was one of those days not skirt steak -- Sometimes you know if you impose your will on somebody you can be and the tactic if they played a best of seven maybe Connecticut would win but on that day. You know this is they would better in being inside the building -- I was I was very surprised I didn't think -- talk. On court. Called quote was definitely there for missed its -- especially when he got the lead in the second half work. Almost felt like we're at it in East Lansing missed in because they have a lot of people points and -- I think back could have been a factor as well.

Tim we always appreciate taken the time talks and hopes let us thank you very much and will visit again soon. Okay -- Erik German that is up for Providence College basketball coach Tim Welch joining us in the Galen -- leadoff spot. On the eighteenth -- hotline AT&T world delivered.
