Key notes from Josh Pate interview

  • The larger the playoff field gets, the more teams it touches. Not only teams that fit in it, but teams close to fitting in it. Then you will have more sets of arguments. There is no bottom to the barrel. It is like in the ocean. The water pressure hurts our ears. Then we go deeper and deeper. We don’t get it. If kids are stomping and kicking and screaming. Then you give him a lollipop, and sure, it stops for a minute. But then it gets worse.
