  1. Maybe Coach Barnes should have consulted Coach Smart on how to beat Purdue. It was good to see Coach Keady at the game. Hope he is doing well.
  2. 100% correct but this may be a problem. NBA teams will tell you one thing and do something else. The Rockets told Rashard Lewis that they would pick him with one of their 3 consecutive 1st round picks and didn't. The Spurs told Cory Joseph that they would pick him and they did. If he doesn't have that guarantee, it might not be a bad idea to come back for one more year.
  3. No. My point was that Abe deserved to be fired for things that he said. Weltlich was a good coach but the wrong coach at the time to replace Abe. The larger point is that Abe let the kids basically do whatever they wanted and Weltlich was a more strict coach. Going from one end of the spectrum to the other wasn't a good fit and thats one of the reasons that kids left. I am well aware of what happened to him after he left Texas. I am also aware that in the coaching community if things don't go well, its tough to get another high level coaching job..
  4. This is about the kids not the fans.
  5. I didn't know Bob so there may be some truth to what you say. I am not sure that Coach Knight was involved but maybe you know something that I don't and thats certainly possible. What I do know is that there was a 5 man committee to pick a new coach and the committee didn't like the fact that Abe basically had few if any rules and thats one of the main reasons they picked Bob. And don't forget that Bob's Ole Miss team had the SEC tourney stolen from them by the SEC refs against Kentucky at the end of that season. Look at Gene Bartow. He followed Coach Wooden. We played them several times and he was a great coach. But it was impossible to follow Coach Wooden. I am not comparing Coach Wooden and Abe other than they were 2 really good coaches but sometimes coaches put themselves in tough positions and again I am not a Weltlich apologist.
  6. Again, Weltlich wasn't the problem. The problem was that almost no coach could have stepped in for Abe because he basically had no rules. BTW, Abe was the first coach to have the Drum so Im not sure how he increased attendance unless you're comparing Gregory to the Drum.
  7. You basically made my point. Abe's kids basically did what they wanted. Obviously, they had to show up for practice. When they went on road trips, the kids were told that the bus leaves for the game tomorrow at a certain time and be on it. That was it. If they didn't want to go to the shoot around the day of a night game, they didn't have to. There were no team meals. The kids got meal money and they could do whatever they wanted with it. Weltlich as almost every college coach in the country had rules. You went to the shoot around. You had team meals, etc. I'm not sure that there were many coaches that could have followed Abe under those circumstances. And Dodds didn't make the decision alone. He was part of a 5 man committee that chose Weltlich and he went along with the other committee members.
  8. Maybe we should go after Bruce Pearl who just won the SEC tourney.
  9. Not to change the subject slightly but Junior is a great reason not to sweat all of this star nonsense. Based on his offers, he probably would have been a 2 star recruit.
  10. All definitely missed.
  11. Its to my understanding that Rich passed away a few years ago. So has Gary Goodner. Tyrone Johnson and Hank. All good guys and all defini
  12. Why didn't you do this in November?
  13. Abe deserved to get fired. Weltlich was a good coach but not the right one to follow Abe. ..
  14. You just hoped that they would lose.
  15. Fu piece of crap. If these kids want at least one ,more chance to put on a jersey and play, then thats their decision. I hope that the next time you work really hard for something, you get fucked.
  16. You don't know more about Coach Barnes than I do. But then again, according to you, you never went to UT Austin so its not like you're cheering for your college team like the majority of posters are.
  17. Rest in Peace Lam.
  18. Thats the right move. Having said that, depending on when his treatments are completed and how he progresses, he should look at this as a 2 year approach to the league. Next year again depending on a number of circumstances, he should start on the bench and work his way into the lineup as is appropriate. Then after the offseason of working as hard as he can, put him on the court and let him destroy the opposition. Then he will be ready for the league.
  19. Guys, cut me some slack. I only yelled at that cloud once. And it was following me.
  20. I believe that we have found our next DLine recruit.
  21. You're talking to yourself. You asked where we thought he was and I answered. There were players in the 60s, 70s 80s and 90s that could be considered all time top 30.
