On the drive.

Josh Graham still obligation something you sound a little bit about his family are here hanging out while in this world wake forest takeover of the program for my favorite songs. By the way, this put me in coach feel a great story about that. They were playing the song between innings late Ralph Klein's career and they put it they played this song and they put John Fogarty on the scoreboard in terms of Fogarty.

You already got what we get them from AAA we just bring him up and I know this song but we are trying to reach Tom Walter Trevor little miscommunication going on soon you texted him and texted his then we can talk about his golf swing. Yeah well, he is funny for some. He replied with them was several weeks back. He had alluded to it in the past and he gets up on the T left hand.

Okay phone goes right-handed. Yeah. And then when he gets in the fairway.

He's writing until he gets the green and then when he plots his left hand again now I have never ever ever. IEC greatest of all time. Cross handed Potters and no different, so many different putting things whatever but that was bit different as bit as he can hit the unit enjoys the game nobody's really enjoying his he's playing with his son Chase now who is I think a sophomore and in college and that his son has gotten into it and is a picture mode primarily picture. Sometimes I feel it and can hit it a mile and so that's great that you can do that.

The father-son bonding is athletes you know were talking earlier about. We were getting ready to wake forest baseball series when I am the pandemic just hits everyone between the eyes and you know that the way first baseball season was underway, and all indications were that was going to be a pretty good season right and then just you. You get to the rug taken out from under you and everything, but John gets put on hold. It's canceled and Larry with with with baseball will bit different. You guys in their draft years and all the implications. They are now you've talked a lot with Tom over the last several weeks, but that that was a pretty big curveball to to take on in and my goodness.

When you look at what he's had to deal with as a head baseball coach. It's amazing in EE just continues to come out on the other side, but he came out of this particular situation pretty good shape when this draft changed to five rounds because they expected to lose maybe seven or eight players from the white forest team to the Pro draft and Jared Schuster went first round to the Braves but then a couple guys were taken in those five rounds and so he's going to get some superstars back and and really you want to say Merry Christmas to them kind of the way that draft went well and you get guys back coming next year that you didn't think you're going to have which also makes you though.

Realize that you have to change the way that you do your recruiting a little bit because you've got guys coming back to you are sure when we got will let him talk about here. Hey coach I don't did we catch you like the 18th tee or what you hit riders hi you just got you got all loopy you forgot you got with you if you're if you're on your body can mean that bank that New Year's must be doing pretty well.

It's better back in the Congress yet medically long well, we've been talking about your army approached the game right left right with your driving in right left you yeah but they listen we want to get your take on. Maybe let's start with George used a Jared Schuster so that you would like Jared Schuster and his set first round selection by the Braves while I was good for him right thought could happen to a better blue-collar working as you got what's been developed over the last couple years and year at a couple of the moment, but mostly typical year, it's really well early and then once we hit conference couple a little and then this year if you count all built up that Louisville where he out the first round and body. No. And then, on the flipside you expected to lose a large number of guys in the draft got shortened because of the coronavirus situation and so you get people back that you didn't expect to have back in that that create some whole new situations for you is a lot of good that you get that report five points in the country back. No year may not happen very often, so that opponents brought you pitching the UNIX expect back with Will Fleming and all the makeup of the ballclub.

It's a heck of a lot different now that it added party feels that for the freshman and sophomores that have been waiting a year or two for their turn in the year were supposed to be there time now. The legality got back in the program for another year so certainly I think I found somebody earlier today that you know I think all the teacher to be a little more talented question and note manager Qualcomm management culture of your team. Just because you're more talented meeting with Marty and I'll never forget Sparky Anderson saying that his job as the manager is to keep the 25 guys in that room happy so that they all produce to the maximum of their ability, and they connected to be a tough thing, especially when you got the 35 that you have in not in your locker room, but guys like their at-bats.

Yeah, they all work very hard. They're all super talent that they all come communities were quite likely to one of the best players to ever come out of their school and/or community (11 that plain competent happen right away that frustration level. Bill then back to the track with the mission. I'm sure that you will find a way to manage the catastrophic situation because you've kind of had a history of that in you managing this virus situation at Wake Forest but you've had some experience with that in the past, as the coach at New Orleans when Hurricane Katrina hit and you have a situation. I think it's a fascinating story that not as many people have heard as they should when Katrina hit, you actually had to take your team to numerous places to train. Can you tell us a little bit about what that was like you know we joke about it in our got one from Emmaline Crawford Guarino and circuit, so it was that there was a company culture change you University of New Orleans. Most of our guys were from the state of Louisiana we have come from out of state. But the dirty our team was born and raised in that area and not only are they moving to New Mexico, which is an entirely different culture and clinical setting, but also worried about what's going on back home.

The other Families that they left behind and work to make ends meet. Find work and rebuild their homes so you know managing that challenge, but also like though our recruiting coordinator. Coaching is that you take the chair away quickly and in going was certainly instrumental in making that go really well for us to cheat you with some of the challenges you face as a head coach propriety going on with this 9/11. Certainly you you had a clear need a kidney. You gave him one.

Now you you're dealing with Covidien. All you way coaches or coaches without a team kinda sorta because you can't get with someone you know in the same room. How the hell have you been dealing with COBIT in this new challenge that that that you and your staff is are faced with how are you making it how you get things done. He and strive to stay connected with those guys make sure we touch them several times a week. We better call each of the last four weeks. That was led by one of our classes. You're acutely talking about teen culture to the seniors let things often shared an article with the group.

Kind of like the talking point in the juniors. The next week sophomores and freshmen, which I thought was really cool exercise that engage the whole P and Important. You know, brotherhood and camaraderie and count everybody: the same direction that again, regardless of your talent level. You know, really makes or breaks the know your sleep so I just want communication. Staying connected and just trying to touch them to be a text phone call or email knows many times we can't let baseballs a little bit of an unusual sport and that as a freshman. You don't generally expect a guy to contribute a lot. You want your sties to play, but they generally aren't your superstars sophomore and junior seasons are the really important ones you figure that with your best players will have them to seasons, but then probably lose them to the draft. Now that senior leadership takes out a little bit different story to with some of your stars coming back to fill those roles and you've got a big senior class, you will come back with a little bit of an era in which epic is a good thing America get you that I think they're out to prove something everybody there out to prove the major league scout that that didn't have them in the top you round even know you know we know it wasn't that simple. You know how that money favor more than anything else, but they cannot know. I like a little bit of that competitive, that it should not remind you about every time we played LSU every one of those kids without the prove that LSU should recruit them so I think our categorical out there this spring with a chip on their shoulder to prove everybody taking the boat last year and this year and have paperwork top 2020 is one of those years where we'd all just forget it and hope you get to 20, 21, is quickly as we can last few weeks we've all of us in America have an been dealing with a lot of social issues. Some of the zoom because you have your players and you talked about that if they ask a lot of questions of you and and and and how are you engaging them to to be a part of the larger footprint of the athletic department and university in an you being part of the solution to some of these issues that that that we face today is great but the great question of the great point.

Certainly a lot bigger than Covidien. A lot based off the know what's going on in America right now and again I think I think the country can learn a lot for sports and sports. You know you export that the example in the diversity. No platform in America were diversity is more evident and expected in a written sports so I get our guys are all like everybody else in the world right now there are all very engaged in this discussion. All kind of willing and wanting to do something they could start out that as coaches given the fake space and platform with which you expect something in their are no longer patent right now. Want to know anything. And again, develop a culture where you can have those important conversations and make a difference in the world for you, and you forget sometimes that this is such a developmental age for these people that are going to school and becoming athletes and what they go through on the field and in the classroom and in then here is a culture turning them loose into the world and a lot of their ideas and formulations are coming. What's of the eye idea of having these conversations about what they're going to be facing and how they can use that and and be a part of it is just huge for any kind of a college athlete Yelena Larry and again that accountability and ownership. The league on young men get to a you know 18 years old and try to figure out who they are and what they stand for and not work out. Tell them who they are, what they stare pork like you give them no information and resources so they can figure that out and then go out into the world and represent you know for thinking nation and their families and their communities and the best way possible of themselves who You have 35 guys on the roster list of the 35 different formulas but you know hopefully 35 guys going out there who understand it like bigger than baseball and you know they need to be an equal partner in that mission, alternate baseball coach at Wake Forest.

We appreciate your time. Good luck on that need rehab and will see in the golf course sometime soon.

Okay.

I also thank you for your complete vector producer credit for getting it out the pickup.

Thank you again. Talk to you soon. Back that they carry that's it's a good interesting it's the best yeah you know me think about given up a kidney for somebody that is never done.

Never step foot on your campus a little more and more he is the richest person in Asia good and he is like. I can imagine a better leader of young people than Tom Walter because he yes he says it, but… Lives… And well are we fortunate to be able to be around him all right.

You're listening to the drive on sport Chubb triad. We got lots more to come will get a sneak in a quick break and will continue at this 5 o'clock block interviews brought to you by Beamer tire and auto Beamer tire and auto home of five-star reviews offering tires breaks state inspections, oil changes and check engine diagnostics by ASE certified technicians while you get your bass fishing question and I didn't because Dr. Yuri was a para-psychologist and first of all I wanted to ask him how do you go in and say I think I like to be a parasitology is that's what I want to be flat for a living, but he also I saw a great picture of him holding a largemouth bass because he studied parasites on bass, and I wanted ask him if he had the good fishing holes in Winston-Salem that I could check out his slip and got a cell number so that the department to bring in Jen Hoover and talk a little workforce women's basketball coach over how you doing all man I want before we talk about your team, your program I wanted to get your reaction to the news that kind of broke obviously earlier today with coach McCallie down at Duke stepping aside, try to learn shall be met in August 20 found a coaching change in copyright no one great coach moving out and even what can I come down and become the new competitor that I she's done a lot they are not without programming knowledge. And I got her before she went out at her plate that you you got some folks this past season.

Didn't you guys.

I think when the most ACC games. Since you been the head coach in your entering your nine season now, but had a good Ron you look like a postseason team there at the end time started really well maintained throughout the middle of the seat record will come back talk to me Jen about your program where you think it is obviously again made a few strides mean not as many as you hoped, but made some strides with with what you're trying to do and what you're trying to build it waken.

What are the things that you need to keep doing and doing well and I think that that back in the right direction base in stride. When I got back back a few years back and really felt like that. The next team are going to be there and then we get hard 10 years. Just chalk it up to bad luck injury after injury after injury and I'm happy to say, knock on wood. This past year know that we brought in a new sports performance coach and I think we think the results of a lot of rehab and preventive action generated from she's from Charlotte flat all you know now where were doing so much more to just make sure were not overworking the young lady tearing down to China prevented many injuries possible and where were close to where you want to be that know you know when you look at that way, were still got a ways to go. I think our players are our body and they understand that you know the new facilities we have a lot but when I kids you can't eat that on phone call he had recently we've been doing a little bit of check. Talk about that COBIT thing when the Ted talks a lot matter total dollar mahogany and I do not see why not, why not this year, why not now and I think that mentality to take nine try to get him back here and start working toward what we can think the facilities are just incredible and certainly an advantage to be that you look to take advantage that you look to build on what is your building that momentum and then all the sudden, like the current situation hits. How do you keep the program going forward and what you do is as a coach to say we've got this and really unusual situation. We never have before and let them know that that you're on top of it and am going to keep this program going the way needs to be a great job and I can't really know what our conversation got them called about doubt you will just really been talking about what we want to look like, how we go about God, you know, we were prepared to make a game plan only got one that when you going to again you always. I played on creature wait for his morning bath about the life lesson. We told him I thought my phone call this week. Much like the out and out the last person First Beat Right. 2020. But Now, When You Get a Twenty-Year List When It and They Were All Been Positive, and on for All Excited to Be Back on Campus. The Coming Week. There Did Back in to Start Taking Baby Steps Forward in a Safe and Cost Is Productively As We Possibly Can Get Is a Great Line out Screen Was the Game of Life.

Nobody Remembers the Halftime Score Frighten Generally Think It's Good to Be like When You Finally Do Get Your Ladies in a Room. You Can, and I Know You Put Your Arms around You and Hug Him. It Is Safely As We Can, but This Going to Be Different for for All Coaches Write Them You Gone so Long without Being Physically with Your Team and It's, You Know, Maybe We All Take That for Granted.

I Don't Think We We Will Anymore, but What You Anticipate That Dynamic When When Your Team Is Finally Back Together Again to Be like We Really Cannot Important Dark Young Lady like to Be Different Won't Be What It Been before Our Freshman Coming and I like What Rick Franklin That Weight Back. You Know, I Think Encouraging That That I Can't Not Wavered a Fight Back on My Back on Monday, the Mixed-Race, and from Our Doctors down University Have Been so Supportive and Helpful and Spent A Lot Of Time with the Great Planning Understanding the Protocol and Can Be Really Different at First the First Reality Will Be an Isolation Room by Itself Being Delivered on Knowingly Walk around Campus This Year. You See, Everyone, and Act on Backache 2020 Fall 2020 Photos in Your Book with David Mascagni Wonder What's Going Happy Young Ladies Already out and out There That Drives Their Outfits with Their Maxell Know My Husband and a Big Point Here Get Her for Me and Have Artie Got a Gator Math That You Have Not Gotten My Master Wait for Himself Were All on Board and Go Night Where Little Bit More Gold and Black and Here We Talked about Positive Experience Experiences You Are Mrs. Positivity Every Time That I've Been around You. It Exudes from You, Positive Attitude about Life and It's Got to Be a Nice Feeling to Have the Kids Pick up on That When They Get down and Go through These Unusual Things to Have That Feeling of Confidence in Their Leadership with Somebody That Does Have a Positive Attitude While I'm Back on Top of That Energy… For Me, I'm Not a Introvert and I'm Not Stay at Home If They Currently Do Work.I like to Be out Take the Faith.

People Are People and Struggle Likely My Husband and My Daughter. When a New Puppy That We Affectionately Came up with the New Name of Piccolo. He Is Happy That We Have Attained Ourselves a Little Bit and Some Other Way That Different and That's What We Kinda Corrected No Different That Embrace the Different Come Out Of It Better Than We Would Have At Least the Negative Really, Really, As a Group. I Think Our Senior and Great Job Leadership We Have History Program We Find Upperclassman Freshman.

They Do A Lot Of Chatting, Taking Care Of Each Other through Their Sisterhood and Arcing… A Great Job Just Kind of Keep in the Making Impact without without Thought out That What Our Staff Is Artie Feeling That We All Become Connected and Getting to Know Each Other, Ready to Get Going.

Spending A Few Minutes You on the Drive in Our Number Three with Wake Forest and Women's Basketball Coach Jan Hoover Who Is Sneaking up on a Decade in That Role As a Player. She Was a Three-Time All ECC Competitor and for the Longest Amount of Time with Second All Was First All Time in Points and Rebounds before That Got Taken Away from You Been Bitten. We Talked A Lot Today with with with Mark Owens and Jimmy Quan during Coach Walter and Dr. Yuri about the This Social Challenges That We Face Today in America. I Know Your Team Is Been Very Outspoken over the Last Several Weeks on Social Media.

How Do You See Your Group of Young Women Being Part of the Solution Going Forward with the Rest of University Gardner Great Conversation on Really Being Respectful of Everyone Perspective Different Things Affect Everyone Differently and I Think They Really Got to Know Each Other on a Deeper Level, Because Wherefore Freshman Coming in Some of Our First Conversation He Difficult Conversation That Necessary Conversation, Much like Dr. Yuri Said I Can Be More Proud of Our Players across the Board in the Way Get the Kind of Handling Themselves but Also Being Very Respectful of Others and Understanding That Athletic Me Is One of the Prime Example of How You Can Show the Diversity on Our Team Is a Remarkable Guy or International Have No Family. Single Parent Family.

No Regular Family Have Minority Have a Little Bit of Everything I've Seen in Real Life, but We We Have a Combination We Really Speak A Lot about How You How You Want to Be Treated Is How You Want to Be Treated Each Other and I Think Our Kids Have Done a Great Job in Their Life. Figure out Our Baking. We Don't Want to Be Just One Statement We Made Our Players Don't Want to Get You One Video or One Statement They Want to Continue to Try to Find Ways That Will with Other People on Campus C Not to Be a Partner Have Impacted Being a Part of the Change. We Anticipate Campus Life Be like Jenny Different to Me. Did You Talk about Your Clinics in This Kind of Been Part of the Theme Today about There Is No Better, Perhaps Opportunity Than an Athletic Team to Help Move the Ball Forward. I Think in A Lot Of Ways. The Same Can Be Said about the University Setting a Campus Setting Means. Look at the Diversity at a Place like Wake Forest People from All around the World with a Common Goal of Being a Productive Week for Student and Leaving after a Number of Years with the Degree I Think You Look at the College Athletic Department Makes It so Special Is That Our Our Athlete Make up about 10% of the Body and Are Able to with an Integrated Body Are Not Isolated and Separated Away from Our Normal Setting. So I Think They're Even More Ability to Really Have an Impact Because There Are Living in a Dormant Regular Student Where Whereafter Wherever Their Farming Background Are Not yet Living on the Department That Are Just Getting Athlete and I Think When You Have That Day-To-Day Interaction No Way Walk of Life. Looks like It When You Can Actually Have a Little More Respect for What They Can't Do What They Can't Do It Come through What They're Trying to Accomplish and Wait for Income of the Month Smartest People I Met Were Fellow Students and I Would like for Things They Wanted to Give You an and I Think Our Players Wanted to Wait for That Classroom Not Take Online Classes That Challenge Our Players, No Coming, but Finishing up the Semester, We All Understood. 35 GPA Back What You Can Wait for for Take Online Classes or to Be Isolated As Athlete That Is Going to Need to Be Done This Year Just to Be Perfectly Honest in the Way Were Trying to Make Sure We Have College Athletics This Year and We Don't Know Exactly What That Don't Look like That Your Pretty Strict Protocol That Have To Come Back to Try to Get Every Possibility of Being I Would Have Thought Football and Basketball and in All Our College Athlete and They're All Willing to Make the Commitment to Get That Done so That Pretty Exciting, but Challenging. It Will Be a Challenge but You Are Exactly Right about the Fact That a Student Wake Forest As an Athlete You Crossing the Campus and You're Seeing People That You Talk to All the Time and Have His Friends outside of the Athletic Community You Talked about Communication Doing A Lot Of This That's Been Going on. I'm Reminded of the Gerald R.

Ford Quote of Disagree but Don't Be Disagreeable and Write When You Can Communicate Because Their Teammates and You Can Look Each Other in the Eye and Say I Don't Necessarily Agree with That but I Was Brought up in a Different Area of the Country.

I Was Brought up in a Different Way and You Have Those Discussions and Are Able to Do It As Teammates and It Starts to Sink into at This Very Very Important Time of Life for These Young People. I Totally Agree That We Party Important to Have Their Congregation and Have an Open Conversation We Had to about Freshman Were Appreciative at the Fact That Now Their Part of the Group That They Can Happen Conversation Dan Rewarding to Hear That Eric Talk about Appreciative That We Continue to Talk about Their Experience. Everyone Is Different and Not Right or Wrong Your Own Individual Experience and What You Hear and See Things Happen like That in the Gap Players Been Great That I Can't Wait to Get Back to This Whole Thing about Athlete by Athlete Had Some Kind of Town Hall Meeting – and Welling Night and I'm Looking for. Can You Think This Generation Is a Generation That No Wants to Be out There on Social Media Want to Be a Part of His Bradycardia Part of Changing and to Impact Things in Life, We Will Leave It There. Thanks so Much for Your Time Today Look with That New Pup. Good Luck with the with Your Gals When You Get Them Back and Looking Forward to That As Is Jim Hoover, Head Women's Basketball Coach at Wake Forest. Good Stuff Is Always from Her I Met You Whenever You Read a Dave Clawson Show There. She Is River, Reno Eskimo Coaches Show There She Is. She's Everywhere That She Can Be. I Think There's Maybe More Than One of Her and You Always Feel Better When You Walk Away from Her to Feel Just a Little Bit Better about Life. To Take Another Quick Timeout. We Continue Here on the Drive Following A Few Minutes Here Were Going to Have John Curry's the Last Half Hour of the Show and I Will Wrap up Our Workforce Take over Here on the Drive on WSJ Us Drive with Josh Graham on Sports Hub Triad Final Half Hour of the Drive on the Sports of Dryad. Today, Most Dramatic of the Leading into the Head Coach John Curry 15 Months or so in Now Is the Athletics Dir. at Wake Restaurant Are You Doing Are You Larry We Were Hanging in There, Man, This Is the Tip of the Captor Will Pantages and Your Staff Is Learning This This Guest List Together We We Covered A Lot Of Ground, A Lot Of Neat Topics, so Thanks to Your Staff or Help Put This Together. It's Been A Lot Of Fun. Don't Know Your Your Phones Breaking up Just a Little Bit.

I We Were Not to Get His Okay I Got out yet Tease the Other Day on His Own Call with Coach Forbes. I Was with Ron Willman Your Predecessor and I Should Run You Missing the Athletic Director Wake Forest He Said with What John Curry Said the Deal with Absolutely Not Tell You What These Last Several Weeks Have Been Challenging for Sure Had Where You Want Get Me a Really Nice Note about to Go Think about Me with All the Different Things We're Going through That Seem like There A Lot a Long Way Away from What Are Your Core Mission Usually Is the Day You Were in the Education Business When You're in Education and in Higher Education and You Have a Responsibility to Help Other People Learn to Adapt and in a World That Is Continuously Evolving and Be Adaptable in a World Increasingly More Inclusive with Strong Skill Sets from People of All Kinds of Backgrounds. These Are, the Moment That We Can Either Run Away from Is Not a Good Strategy Organ Embrace and Learn and Get Better and Stronger and Tighter.

The Community John to When You Have People to Work with like Mark Owens and Jimmy Wonder and Herman Yuri Tom Walter Jim Hoover. All the Coaches You Guys Are Ahead of the Game That's That's Pretty Impressive List of People I Am Supportive That I Was on the Out Of Out Of the Blue Thing.

Whatever the List and All Those Folks Earlier Today Because I Know It Was This Is like the Lowest Electric Part of the Show Group Compared to That But You Having Herman Yuri What What an Incredible Pioneer Leader for Wake Forest Now Is Vice Chair of the Board Of Trustees to Provide Extraordinary Leadership. Jimmy Wonder Who I Knew When I Was the First Start out Here Long Time Ago to Build. We Connect with Him. The Speciality Set up and Walk around Our First Game on School Board Ran Right into Him and John Leach and We Have This Great Conversation into One of the Commonalities of That People That You Listed All Those People Are in Our Community, Sharing, Giving, Teaching, Serving Our Community, and Although Mark Did Not Come Here Just Because Wake Forest All the Rest of People That You Mentioned Are in the Sale of Community and Giving to This Community Because Wake Forest Brought up Here, and I Think That's a Really Special Aspect of Wake Forest Responsibility to Serve Was in Salem.

John Was Jumping to a Couple Things Just Let You Come to Give State of the Union If You Will, Condensed Version. Obviously so Much Talk Now about Everybody's Sheena Jim Hoover Was Just Talking about You Were Just A Few Days Away from Getting Her Ladies Back on Campus Were All Thinking about Fall Sports Right Now We Are in Our Thinking about Football Is Is so Many People Are with Regard to COBIT and Where We Are in the Student Athletes Coming Back. Where Would You Say Wake Forest Is Getting Ready for the Fall Campaign Work Cited.

Although We All Are Operating in a Brand-New World. So There's a You Know You Don't Know Necessarily What Good They Look like the Next Day I Given the Rapid Evolution of the COBIT Situation in Many Ways and I Probably Use the Decathlon Example with Y'all before, but You're the Last Event of the Decathlon Is 1300 M Run Right and so Maybe Were on the Third or Fourth Event in the Decathlon and If You Asked Me Right Now. What Could Happen.

What Exactly Can Happen on September 5 I Would Respond to You That You Come in the Third or Fourth That of the Decathlon Will Have Any Idea What My Long-Range Running Shoes off so Far Away from Now, You Know, Our Focus Has To Be Right Now on on Take Care Of Her Student Not Because As They Return We Had Extraordinary Support throughout Our Campus. Great Leadership from the Haiku during the Policy Subcommittee Leading to Wake Forest Restart Pres. Hatch, the Communication from Our Present Hatch on the 30th.

Now Think How Wake Forest Is Come Back to School so to Speak Him in A Few Months Was Very Well Done Incredible and You See All the Pages and Pages and Pages and Policies and Protocols of That Document You Confuse Incredible Team Effort.

The Catholic People throughout You Know Sometimes People Think That You're Working Remotely Means Not Working As Hard and I Think for All Those Folks across Her Captors.

They Work Harder Than Ever and for Good Reason. We Have a Wonderful Student Community. Wake Forest Is a Critical Component of Our Overall Community and Work Were Ready to Get Back Go Johnny Just Seems like in This Information Age, and As a Society We We Not Only Are Looking for a Definitive Answer Looking for Definitive Time for That Answer. Like Tell Us What Could Be Happening.

August 17 Where I Should Be in and What Could Be Happening, Then It Just Isn't Available in under the Circumstances That We Are in Now. You Know, There Are Some Things You Can Plot for Long-Term but Stuffs Changing Hourly, Daily, As You As You Said a Little Bit and in Your One of the People to What He Looks to Personally How You How Do You Handle That Well. Talking to One of Our Our Community Leaders in a Mental Model Talk about Business Office. They Were Thinking When Away, He Went Away Will Try to Reconnect.

We Have the Technology in Question. I Guess You Can Attempt This Question Is Are You There Are You That You Have Done That before so Well You in Its Obvious and We Talk about That. About This Point. The Whole Show Longer but We Just Don't Know When. And That's the Hard Part X, except We As People Now Want to Know You Soon Yeah and and We Want Something Definite Want Something Absolute and It's Just Not There. Back What Happened Often. I Look at My Phone and My Whitespace Is That That's a Nice Face. No Right, but I Think She Was so Enjoying Listening to My Voice. He's Only Human Right Word Really Droning on about All This Stuff. So Here's a Great Example Good French Soccer League French Division I Soccer League Announced in Early April or Late March.

They Were Not Playing This Year. The German Soccer League in the Premier League in England, and Others Announced That They Had Made a Decision yet and Eventually the Premier League Leader in Germany Came Back without Fans Made the Employer Now for over a Month and 1/2 and the People in France Really Upset Because They They Call the Ball to Early and so That They Could Have Season and so with That Balance of You Wanting to Not Trying to Make Decisions until You Have As Much Information As You Possibly Can Have, but Then at the Moment That You Make a Decision You May Not Have All the All the Data Points and so It's Impossible to Make a Perfect Decision in a Time like This. You Have To Make a Decision Based upon the Best Possible Evidence of the Best Possible Information in the Best Possible Communication of All the Different Scenarios and I Will Say I Think Your on Their Joint Is Done Extraordinary Job of Leading Our City through This Time and Appreciate Appreciative of That Week We We Talk to Most of Our Guests Today about the Challenges We Face, Not Only with with the Pandemic. But Some of the Racial Situations That Have Popped up in the Last Several Weeks and We We Talked with Each of Them about How Wake Forest Athletics How Our City Can All Be a Part of the Solution Going Forward.

Your Take As the Head of the Department in Athletics.

How Do You See University Are Athletic Teams, Football, Basketball, All of Them down the Line in Being Able to Help Get the Ball across the Goal Line so to Speak.

Ordinarily Painful Time Even Though I Can't Completely Comprehend the Pain Felt by People of Color. During This during This Time Then and for Many Years, but I'm Very Encouraged That Were Able to, It Seems, and I Was Already 50 Called This Morning and Mary McElroy, Who Is Leading the Conference's Effort in This Regard That She Was Optimistic Because It Seems That That We Got People's Attention in a Way That People Understand That There's That We Have To Make Some Some Some More Progress in This Area so I'm Encouraged. We Have A Lot Of Great Conversations inside the Apartment. When I Say Great, Great, and That It Been Very Candid and Sometimes Very Very Well with Our Student Athletes I Meet Regularly Now Will Start up like Coaches and Administrators Which Actually Started Doing That One of the Kansas State Five or Six Years Ago in a Bit Him to Take That Back up over the Last Month That's Been Very Productive and Had Extraordinary Leadership from Pres. Hatch Pres. Hatch Didn't Start the Slavery Memory Project Two Weeks Ago or Their Present Commission on Race Equity Community Three Weeks Ago That Stuff All Started Know in Some Cases Two Years Ago so That's Built a Really Great Foundation for Now, the, the Intensity of the Activism, so to Speak to That to Make a Big Step Forward.
