Barnes Calling Players out...

[SGMVols]

Thus the need for contracts with performance clauses attached, imo.

That’s not allowed under the current rules

Gonna have to give this loss to our HOF coach.

Taking ZZ out in the first half is definitely the right play, but you got to let your stubbornness
go after 2-3 minutes and re-insert him to right the ship.

Secondly, drawing up the final play in the second half - Barnes is very astute at drawing up
plays after a TO but that play was horrible. Going to the rim is not Chaz. Okay for the ball
to go to Chaz, but if he breaks the screen, put the ball up from 3 and let Felix and Igor go
for the putback on a mix or let Chaz drop it off for Gainey to drive. They are more go to guys for the rim.

And no, to you clowns on this board. I am not calling for "fahring the coach"

After ZZ was taken out at 7:02 remaining in the first half, a 2 point lead was converted to a 7 point Vandy lead at 2:21. Then Lanier’s 2 free throws reduced their lead to 5 at 1:54. Vandy made a 2 at 1:39 to bump the lead back up to 7. Lanier made a 3 at 1:22 cutting the lead to 4. Igor’s 2 free throws at 0:26 cut the Vandy lead to 2.

I don’t see where the risk/reward of inserting ZZ back in at any time during those 7 minutes makes a lick of sense. The biggest lead was 7 and both times UT immediately responded by cutting into the lead while ZZ was sitting. One 7 point lead lasted 27 seconds and the other 7 point lead lasted 17 seconds.

Had he been feeling snarky, Chaz might have responded to Rick that he also wasn't achieving the results he was being paid to achieve, i.e. getting his team to the Final Four (and beyond), something several other coaches in Barnes' pay range (and below) have managed to do. Exceptional pay demands exceptional results.

If one were feeling snarky in their analysis of your post (and history on this topic) one might say your screen name describes you very well. Any reasonable person would say CRB has accomplished more at UT than "he was being paid to achieve".

Nope...not even close. We were down 6 at half and that's with the idiotic foul and resulting 4 pt play to end 1H.

We were perfectly fine at half and had our best player going into the 2H with only 2 fouls. We then proceeded to not play D for 12+ min which is inexcusable for this team - it's our identify and in our DNA. Bottom line...this team should win virtually every game we score 70+ pts in but we allowed Vandy to go off on us.

It makes 0 sense to risk ZZ and the game proved that. You were only down 6 at halftime. You proceeded in the 2H to come back from down ~15 pts and coulda/shoulda won. The biggest issue was our inability to defend the whole game but especially the first 12+ min of the 2H.

CROSSING THE LINES.............................
When you start PAYing Student Athletes............(now there is crossing the line.......Student )
Asylum is getting crazier by the day.............I guess if we paid our Student Athletes more, they would play better, harder, and on and on.
And what is our Teams GPA??

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Sadly I have but one like to give for the proper spelling/usage of the word.

Only loosers have like deficiencies...

 

[TMvol10]

Barnes has always called out players publicly... Calling out Chaz about what he's "paid" to do crossed the line... Coaches get paid a lot... Players seem to play too tight with Barnes.... It's his style but maybe the reason he can't make it to the top... Just coach and let the kids play... No need for added pressure with pay talk... No coach has ever brought that up with players even in professional sports

You need to watch the press conference when he said this. Don’t just read the tweet. He said it in jest, then smirked and repeated it. He didn’t mean it literal initially and then joked about how it kinda does mean that now.

Over 3.0

I didn’t see anything on Cade. I would guess it would go toward having more size with Igor and Felix for rebounding and rim protection. Even tho wasn’t much to it yesterday. Too much trying to block the ball instead of boxing out the dude on backside of the rim.

Ty. That could have been what caused him to hit the doghouse.

 

[volnbama_]

It hasn't been working the past 2 weeks. He went from conference leader to brick layer.

Players go through slumps

 

[Lefteye]

He said brick layer?!?

The more I read recently the more I become a bevis and butthead.

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

Barnes has his faults, but he can pretty much do whatever the hell he wants as far as I am concerned. At least from what I've witnessed him doing his entire career. By all accounts, we're in the conversation every year. For a number of years in a row now. I hope he retires only when he feels like it too

 

[KTrain]

The economics of coaches salaries isn’t relevant. They earn what the free market brings. When they don’t they get fired.

Yep, if you go into that profession better have thick skin, fired often. Thers a lot of assistant coach's that none of you know, because they couldn't handle the uncertainty of the job. That could make you millions and it could also lead to health problems. Counting on 18–22-year-olds and appeasing their parents and pleasing the Fans and administration is not an easy job.

Okay to disagree. ZZ showed in second half he can play 15+ minutes without fouling. I like my chances with ZZ for the
final 7 minutes of first half since he is UT's most consistent player offense and defense combined. Does make a "lick of sense"

2 fouls in the first half and the opponent will be going hard after that player to put a 3rd on them with 2/3rds of the game left to play. Not so much when a player only has 2 in the 2nd half.

UT stayed close when ZZ was pulled for those 7 minutes. Risk picking up a 3rd in the first half and if a 4th foul is committed early in the second and the odds of winning crash. He might be sitting out for 12-15 minutes in the 2nd half with a quick 4th.

As many have pointed out - almost every coach will sit their key players down after a 2nd first half foul is committed. Elite coaches don’t make stupid decisions going far against the well established percentages.

Barnes might have had a number in mind for putting ZZ back in in a desperate situation. Maybe falling behind by 10. TN never fell behind by more than 7 points (for a total of 44 seconds) with ZZ sitting out AND for most of that run it was a 3 or 5 point Vandy lead.

The NCAA should give players a 6th foul if they aren’t going to have better refs calling games. 5 fouls is too little of a margin of error for part time refs. Their mistakes or poor foul interpretation impact games way too often.

Speaking of calling players out, I read where Barnes said he'd like to implement a rule they do in the NBA where anyone that jumps into and fouls a 3-point shooter has to take the team out for dinner at a high-end restaurant.
Although he was obviously kidding, it would probably help keep them from doing it. He said they go over it in practice all the time, but never fails every game someone does it. It bugs me because those type plays can cost you close games.
It especially bugs me win ZZ does it.
I mean, bro come on, you're 5'9 you aren't going to jump towards a 3 point shot and block it. lol

I've been saying all year that we have to lead the nation in fouling 3-pt shooters. There is almost no way another team is more incompetent than us in that area. So frustrating. I know we try to be aggressive, but good grief. Some teams may go an entire season and only do that 2-3 times. I bet we've done it 15 or 16 times, this year, already.

We also lead the country in 3 point FG defense, so there is some give and take. But I get the frustration. I also don’t trust some officials to correctly see the play.

I get what you are saying but ZZ did block a corner 3 early this year, remember it because it was a total surprise.

They call some that aren’t and miss some that are. I cringed twice against MSU on a couple that I thought could have but weren’t called. Then Dubar made sure they didn’t miss his.

Agree with your point though.

The exception proves the rule.

I agree, which I noted by mentioning our aggression, so fair point.
