Coach Jumper: Prediction: Diamond WILL be a Jumper again

[Coach Jumper]

I am calm. I'm not trying to attack you. I'm just letting you know why even when you make good points it upsets people. You need to learn a little humility. The "coach" thing and posting like people need or really want your opinion annoys people. I don't have a problem with you at all. Like I have said several times I do believe calling yourself "coach" is arrogant. More than that it is disrespectful to people who coach as a profession who have dedicated their lives to coaching, high school, college, or pro.

this makes it sound like AAU falls below those listed and the only ones who can call themself coach are school coaches., when more girls are recruited from AAU than MS and HS.

I have earned my title. And I will wear it. And if given a chance I can prove worthy of it.

Can we please move on to the next conversation. I am trying to be apologetic here. Please don't consider my apology a weakness or a reason to put me in my place.

ok?
Please!

 

[Coach Jumper]

No worries.....keep posting......

Thank you T

Long live the King

Good point. There are plenty of bad kings though. Lol

I will leave it alone.

Coaching middle school AAU is not the same as being a coach for a high school or college. It is below those. You just don't seem willing to admit that or you genuinely believe its the same. Anyone with any bball knowledge knows that is not true.

I'm not measuring your weakness or trying to put you in your place. I just want to you to realize what everyone else does. I won't comment on the "coach" thing again. You do need to reel in the arrogance and condescension though.

point considered, gauntlet laid down. Sigh of relief.

we can agree to disagree on the AAU/HS thing.
until next time, k

If holly returns, Diamond willjump. i know this family and have known of them since Diamond was 11 years old. Delino, Dee, Diamond and I,,, all know what this child is capable of... What is missing is the thing she has had in every environment except college... SHE has to have a strong hand leading her. Holly is not an alpha-female

You can't let Diamond's emotions rule her and you can't sit her and let her recompose herself. She will only sit and fester...She has to be shaken back to earth with force, wisdom and a very alpha-hand.

this program is in trouble. . . Only a step-down from HW will end it. The U isn't going to fire or force her to leave. No way... This sacrifice and gesture has to com from Holly. . . Do the right thing HW

Don't know why I am doing this but let's return to this original prediction and its very odd wording.

First off, I assume that you meant that Diamond would transfer if Holly returns; that prediction is looking like a swing and miss but hey we all make mistakes.

Now let's turn to the oddly hedged wording-"I know this family and have known of them since...'

That is a very strange way to say you know someone. My guess is that you mean you had a brief interaction with the DeShields' family at some AAU tournament when Diamond was 11. Drawing from that interaction, you try to insinuate some kind of insider authority (me and Delino know...) to buttress your pet alpha theory.

Message boards are all about offering opinions but when you misrepresent your social connections and claim insider knowledge you don't possess, that moves into the realm of BS.

When I post it is for those who appreciate someone else's viewpoints. Yes often i get in verbal wars. I should mute and ignore you, but when I do, and i see your name, but can't see the comment, and I un-ignore and boom, here's the attack. Its not in my nature to let things like these said by without defending my position.

Yes, I am an AAU coach. Who has worked exclusively with the higher level 12-16 year olds for the last 13 years. No, this does not qualify me to be HW's replacement, but it does qualify me to have a valid coach's opinion because i have experienced many of the things that happen to HW. I have blown out, gotten blown out and been in very tight games. Dealt with great kids and parents, and had prima-donna parents and kids. Had refs that had vendettas and had refs that didn't treat me in any way different to anyone else,,, etc, etc..

Bottom line is, when I post, I can't designate it to only the ones who use my posts as conversation fodder or to learn a different viewpoint towards understanding...

Haters will hate no matter what, but I don't post for them. For every hater, there is one who appreciates my writings... It is those who I post for..

Those who referenced what I wrote on this post,
alone:


Haters:

Volicity: I've seen a hundred AAU coaches just like you. Give it a rest. If your knowledge is that vast, shouldn't you have graduated from the AAU circuit by now?

Orange Maniac: This reminds me of the story about a rat and an outhouse if anybody understands what I'm sayin

Golf 437: Thanks for the laugh

Chitownvol1145: Jumper, admit it, you are a negitive nancy, and need testosterone treatment, you basketball knowledge is front runner, poo poo anyone facing adversity. HOLLY, has embarrassed you, and your kind, so has this team. Even if they fail, somewhere forward, Pat did numerous times, you failed. She has succeeded, and she recruited all these ladies,

Munsterland: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!! !!!!!!!! !!!!!! !!! !!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hear the entire collection of coaches for both men and women throughout the NCAA and many international coaches are now checking in to VN just to learn at your feet. Your BB acumen is just that awesome.

Speckvol: DSM-5 criteria for narcissistic personality disorder include these features:

Having an exaggerated sense of self-importance
Expecting to be recognized as superior even without achievements that warrant it
Exaggerating your achievements and talents
Being preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate
Believing that you are superior and can only be understood by or associate with equally special people
Requiring constant admiration
Having a sense of entitlement
Expecting special favors and unquestioning compliance with your expectations
Taking advantage of others to get what you want
Having an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others
Being envious of others and believing others envy you
Behaving in an arrogant or haughty manner
Although some features of narcissistic personality disorder may seem like having confidence, it's not the same. Narcissistic personality disorder crosses the border of healthy confidence into thinking so highly of yourself that you put yourself on a pedestal and value yourself more than you value others.

Bearcsat204: So you are taking some credit here? Come on Doug, don't take yourself so seriously

Those on this thread alone, who seemingly appreciate what I write:

MDVolFan14: (1)Agree that you can win with her. But she is still raw and needs that "alpha" coach that can coach her. This year will be a learning process for her I believe but she needs that "alpha" voice to get in her ear and take that raw talent and mold it kinda of like Geno has done with Stewie... (2) Excellent point about "alphas".... Some players are motivated by just a few words. Others need a strong hand/voice in their ear. DD appears to be the latter. HW played Robin to Batman for so many years and like you said CoachJ, she wasn't ready to take over Gotham when Batman left. . . It's easy to say spoiled, privileged, bad attitude, etc. but she is not the only one on this team that is not feeling this staff. Others are not in the spotlight like she is being filmed, photographed and interview all of the time.

BOBKITTEN: I think DD sees college ball as her warm up, an audition to pro ball. It is her chance to be on a winning team and showcase her talent. It has not worked out that way.Perhaps athletes, like regular students, need to choose schools based on things like academics and love of the school, not on less important things like "TV time" and where your BFs go.

CHIEF88: Your assessment of this kid is spot on. But DDs and the teams lack of focus mirrors that of the entire coaching staff. None of these kids see Coach Warlick as a credible coach/leader. She is Holly to them. Not only is DD not been coached in a manner that gets her motivated to play at a high level, none of them have. Did anyone see them set a pick for a shot last night or actively block some one off the boards? The warm ups don't speak to a disciplined routine. I watched a defeated team last night. I also watched the faces of the coaches looking up at the UT contingent -- No One, I Mean No One Was in Control.

Darth_vol: I agree. I don't know Diamond, and I have no idea if any of this is true. But if it is, I would consider it a parenting fail, rather than putting it on the coach(es). Not that I would second guess a parent who would go after the coach on twitter. Whether you agree with what he said or not, the twitter rant was not a good look for Diamond's father. And if Diamond does a one-and-done transfer for a second time it won't be a good look for her, regardless of how disappointing the season was for her both individually and the team..

Armchair: It is very easy to be enamored with talent--most fans are, including myself. But talent doesn't mean squat if you don't produce.

Voldon18: Too many problems, so few solutions. Coach Jumper and Armchair, thanks for the interesting dissections of our team's ills.

Madgeyoung: You make sense of this horrible season. Go talk to Dave Hart and apply for this job….Enjoyed Coach Jumper's assessment of DD. Sounds like she has her pegged.

Tonybalogna: You beat me to it. Her chance at playing in the WNBA is going to be low now. That's a shame with a player of her talent. I wondered why she left UNC so quickly after her freshman season. She was just too good for it to be nothing. DeShields is such a solid player. She has so many skills. She can play both offense & defense. But, if she has emotional problems then that's going to stop her from progressing.

CincyLadyVol: Coach Jumper, what do you suggest to fix this program? Give us a rundown on how you'd turn it around. And what can be done if Holly stays?

T.J.: Makes all the more sense now. Diamond truly wanted to play for coach Summit. The one coach that could had given her that guidance and authoritative nature. It just wasn't Tennessee it was the coach that was the lure. Now, she's paying the ultimate price of playing for Summit's assistant who doesn't have a clue on how to run a team.

I don’t write what I write for you haters, so hit ignore and ignore me, or post assaults against me and be “ignore-ant”… if that’s your purpose on this board,to bully, then bully on.


I post here because it is a conversation board and because there are a few here who appreciate what I write... Anyone else,please "just say no... the "Ignore" button is easy to use... So if you're not interested in what I write,use it. NP

I have only started 8 threads since I started using this site this season... If they were getting under 1000 looks, I would know that they are only being seen once then not read again... But if they go over 2000 then i know they did ok.

+++++++++++

Bottom line is, I am here for those who enjoy sharing thoughts and ideas on matters concerning the LV's ...and I am going to try not to let those of you who don't care to read what I write,,,Un-responded to.

Thanks Volnation,
It has been and will be fun moving forward..
Coach Jumper

I appreciate, and am not the least surprised given my experience on VN, that others are trying to be nice in the way they react to you. Vast majority are good people here.

My post history is there for anybody to see. I might get a little spun up now and then, but it is always short-lived and though I am admittedly not a fan of CHW, I seriously doubt others on VN view me as a perpetually negative hater. Don't really give a flip what you think.

But you are truly a different kind of stimulus, and I'm just not inclined to react with kid gloves. Personally think you are absolutely full of crap, a condescending jerk, manipulative, childish, and poisonous to this community.

Your post history supports everything I just wrote and I'm not going to rehash every idiotic thing you've written. Will only expand briefly on "poisonous" to this community. You purposefully try to divide people and create camps - those who support you (and I'd be very surprised if all those you count "on your side" want that status or would go to battle for you), and those who are against you - "validating" your insane logic with with ridiculous statistics about views and likes. That is the stuff of psychopaths or 12 year-olds.

I've lived for several years in a quiet, off-the-beaten-track neighborhood - until about 4 months ago a couple moved in with a hound dog that they refuse to train or equip with a bark collar. Dog can be heard about 2 miles away, 6-7 times a day for 15-20 minutes at a time. For the moment, has genuinely ruined the tranquility of the area. That's what you've done to the LV forum. A loud, obnoxious voice, knows everything, claims to be coach extraordinaire, actually believes the real coaches and players are listening to you, internet tough guy challenging people to coach-offs, will not shut up. You are a total narcissist, and like all narcissists, you use manipulative, self-promoting, twisted logic to justify your every word.

But, there's an old saying: never try to teach a pig to sing - it doesn't work, and it annoys the pig. I'm pretty confident you won't change, and you definitely aren't worth the time with respect to pointing out the idiotic things you say, or even to laugh (I will say, you're funny as hell, in your own ridiculous, demented way). As someone said earlier on one of your threads, people are perceptive - so nobody needs me to keep pointing out the stupid things you say.

So have at it - no more comments from me. I hope for the rest of VN that you get bored and move on soon. Just know when you delude yourself into thinking you own the LV forum and you've shouted everyone down, I will still know you are full of crap.

I have only met Tisha once, extended... Seen her a few times at games... Delino, if he was at the games I was at, of Diamond's, I didn't know of it. Wouldn't recognize him anyway. (baseball hat was on him if I saw him otherwise on TV). I saw Diamond play maybe a dozen times over 3 years when she was in metro Atlanta. She was news even then, Played in the summer for my org, the Georgia Pistols then the Elite, then the Ice 2007-2009... Pistols and Ice had Natty's with her. Elite was a natty runner up................It doesn't take any more exposure or time than that to analyze personality and assess talent fully... I know of Diamond's tendencies because I saw them in all but one of the games I watched. I saw how she was coached with each org. And I know she has a tendency to jump because of the 3 teams in 3 years and two teams in two collegiate years.

Sorry, that I didn't give enough details,

I will take the advice of a post-friend Sorry you feel as you do. I post for those who enjoy what I write. Can't turn you off but you can ignore me.

Sorry you have had such a bummer with that dog too. I had the same thing in Chattanooga It knew when I was all settled into bed for the night. Made me edgy and mean. . . I hope the dog is quiet tonight.
