Longtime coach and current Pac-12 Network analyst Kevin O'Neill joined Petros and Money on Tuesday to discuss several topics on the eve of the conference tournament.

O'Neill touched on the success of the Pac-12 Tournament in Las Vegas, and also had some blunt words for LaVar Ball, who has emerged as the latest amateur sports parent to find their way into the national spotlight.
