Interview with Sam Purcell -- A Cardinal Couple Quiz -- MONDAY CARDINAL COUPLE



SAM PURCELL INTERVIEW


I was able to catch up with Sam Purcell for today's interview. Admittedly, his energies and responsibilities have changed dramatically since the out-break of COVID-19 and cancellation of DI Sports. Instead of preparing for what most likely would have been the Cardinal WBB Sweet Sixteen opponent later this week or instructing players, he's busy helping to organizing birthday parties for his kids and adjusting to social distancing. 

That doesn't mean we didn't talk hoops in our chat. We covered a lot of hoops. And, I think you'll enjoy the interview with "my man Sam" that we have linked up for you below.

CARDINAL COUPLE RADIO HOUR

If you didn't catch the Saturday podcast via Skype of The Cardinal Couple Radio Hour Podcast with me, Jeff, Case and Jared..you can click the picture at the top of the page or go to this link. We hope you enjoy it, we talk a lot of basketball after getting caught up with each other. 

The "A" team, or "the knuckleheads" were in rare form and on their "game" Saturday. We went a bit over the "Hour" in our title of the broadcast, but, what...you got a pressing appointment or something?

  1. 6 of 10 and got the bonus. Great thumbs ☝ with Purcell. He's invited to play golf with me and Watson anytime in Florida.

  2. I really like Sam Purcell and it's just a matter of time that some program makes him an offer he can't refuse and he takes a head coaching job. I'm selfish, I want him to stay at Louisville until he retires.

    Meanwhile, I continue to be amazed at people ans their shopping habits the further we get in to this pandemic. People sending their kids in to buy the limit on toilet paper, in addition to what the parents are buying separately.

    I've always thought a lot of people were anal-retentive and the pandemic proves it.

    I scored 70 on the quiz. Declined the bonus question. 3,4 and 9 tripped me up.

  3. Walz assistants have had some good success. Michelle Clark-Heard has a marvelous run at WKU and has done well in her first two years at Cincy a perennial loser. Who thought Florida would have a winning record this year. Lavender Briggs was a great player as a freshman for Cam Newbauer this year. Kid out of Utah. What a recruiting job by Cam.

    1. Let's not forget "Smooth" Samantha Williams turning it around at EKU and "Double B's" Becky Burke getting it done at Charleston, either. Beth Ann Ord rebuilt Weber State and is now doing the same at Binghamton. Sara Hammond doing wnderful things at Union University and our beloved Cortnee Walton is the recruiting coordinator at Georgia Tech. One of my highlights of the trip to the ACC WBB Tournament early this was to be able to send some time with "the Cort"!
