Coaching Carousel rumors, memo to Coach Cal

[/b]

I sincerely believe you can be compassionate, caring and courteous without being too soft, and not be any less the man. To the contrary, you are more of a man.

For instance, in war you can respect your enemies skill and courage (or underestimate and die), and regret with anguish having to extinguish such attributes.
That's brilliant. Far too high minded for a college basketball board, but still brilliant.
 
I understand why it arose, I just think you could have proved your point without coming off as arrogant and snobish. But I guess thats what you were going for.
Why would I repress my natural arrogance? That's like asking a lion not to roar. Pretty sure you won't find anyone who knows me that will agree with the snobbish assessment.
 
I have never posted here before but I have to ask hatvol this. I have mentioned on another message board that I have disagreed with alot of Griff's blogs. But my problem with his blogs is that I thought he was too negative, especially in regards to Bruce Pearl. I was wondering where you felt he was kissing Bruce's butt.
I'm not sure I've ever heard anything from Griffith that would remotely qualify as criticism of Bruce Pearl.
 
or does that make BPV Randy?:eek:lol:

That is hilarious!!...Since being on this board, I have always pictured BPV as somone who looks like Randy. Maybe it was just the avitar he had a long time ago(forget who it was).

My response in Bold.

………
UT got beat because it got out-rebounded, not out-shot or out-schemed.

That is where he lost me. Anyone who watched that game or the season knows the problems were much deeper than that. Yet this sports reporter can’t see it. One could depuce he is to emotionally involved with the coach.

I'm not making excuses, and neither was Pearl.

………..

You wonder why Pearl is disappointed with some of the fanbase? I don't.

Why would a sports reporter be concerned about people criticizing the Coach and his feelings about that criticism? He seems a little too close to be objective.


……..
But yes, there are some "Fans'' who are negative no matter what -- and at times they take over talk shows and message boards.

I'm just letting y'all know, the Vols' head coach notices -- his head is not in the sand.

Just think before you rip a player or a coach -- they are people, and they have eyes and ears…….

Once again, why would a sports reporter be concerned about people criticizing the Coach and his feelings about that criticism? Objectivity comes into question.
 
In order:

1. John Calipari.
2. Jay Wright.
3. Rick Barnes.
4. Mike Anderson.
5. Tony Bennett.

I hope Calipari stays on the west side of TN and keeps away from KY. I think he would bring that program back to dominance sooner than later.

Hat, you see JC being a realistic possiblity? I could see him desiring to get into a major conference but he has a decent thing going right now.

Cannot fault that list, specially the first one. Calipari would be my first choice. I might consider Patino, but the Big Blue Nation might also be after my hide.

I don't see anything of value UK can offer John that he doesn't already have at Memphis.

I do see 2 things that UK has to offer and that is money and prestige. UK is one of the schools when you start out coaching you hope to make it to.
 
Actually looks like Griff is 0-2. Grant did go with Alabama and Donovan has told UK he's not interested.
 
I don't care that they lost, but what a season by Kansas. To lose what they did and get that close to making it back to at least the Elite Eight? Shoooot...
