Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Richard Pitino talks transfer portal, roster construction
Q: What role do assistants and staff play in evaluating transfers, and how has that changed compared to a decade ago?
The staff now emphasizes evaluation and film study; there are more personnel to cover different regions, and the emphasis is on providing informed, game-ready evaluations rather than relying on quick clips or hearsay.
Richard Pitino talks transfer portal, roster construction
Q: With the Transfer Portal and NIL, is it more of a cold calling situation or is it still a lot of relationship-based and you're mostly reaching out to guys that you already know?
Relationships are still key to getting in the door; connections help you identify who to contact, and the agents or circles around players can accelerate the process, but it's not an instant fix—you still need to present compelling offers and fit.
A conversation with Herb Bauer (XU PA Announcer)
Q: What was the origin of your signature three-point call?
When Xavier adopted the three-point rule, I was advised to differentiate three-pointers from twos, so I started saying three point field goal twice to ensure clarity, and it became a memorable staple in crunch time.
A conversation with Herb Bauer (XU PA Announcer)
Q: How did you approach learning opposing players' names and pronunciations quickly?
I would speak with the visiting team's sports information staff, obtain a roster, and phonetic spellings for tricky names, then practice so I wouldn't mispronounce them during the game.
A conversation with Herb Bauer (XU PA Announcer)
Q: What made you decide it was time to step away from the mic after 40 years?
I felt it was time to call it a day and treat the moment as a natural milestone, balancing family considerations with a desire not to overstay or be seen as jaded; it felt right to transition after a long, fulfilling run.
