Video Transcript
I hate it.
I'll be honest with you, I just don't like it.
One of the big issues coming out of the tournament so far, Rob, is these hydration breaks.
Yeah.
People are, are saying- Yeah are they hydration breaks for the players?
Are they breaks for the TV to put advertisements in?
Are they breaks for the coaches to go on and coach and change the game?
All the above.
Is it- All the above is it, is it becoming four quarters and not two quarters- Oh, doing me a favor that they're changing the game?
Well, maybe they're trying to do that.
I hate it.
I'll be honest with you, I just don't like it.
I mean, it also, just stop the clock.
You know, every time the added time now is three minutes plus, and it's confusing.

I was like- Certain games, though, where you're in an air-conditioned st- stadium- They don't need it and, and- It's structured now.
I guess every game's gonna be this way and, not a fan.
Sorry about that.
Yeah.
