Remember Omar Payne? Well he's back

Clearly becoming after last night’s game Stackhouse = Hardaway

Stack house is a better coach and I don’t think it’s particularly close. Coaching your less talented team to play physical (not dirty) against a more talented squad is the right thing to do imo.

Did you come up in the era of when someone picks on you it was somewhat expected for you to defend yourself? Or did you come up during the era of fighting is equally as bad for both parties involved and you both will be suspended from school?

I would guess the first era from your comment about Payne

Was raised before everyone turned into a bunch of pussies. Can’t elbow anyone will th both arms in a sling.

There is some truth to this. He is a dog, and plays physical, mostly because he has to like you said.

But the ticky tack fouls they called on him last night were lame

This. The time he picked Pippen's pocket at halfcourt was a terrible call.

I noticed that Vescovi was the target of a lot of rough play last night. Certainly not all of it (KC got his share too). Low class of Vandy to play that way.

Vanderbilt has no class. Now or ever.

Uros would shank him.

Agree 100%. Worst call of the night. Seems like Pippy was getting some Duke-esque type calls. He's a good player, albeit turn over prone, but not worthy of superstar calls.

Same in football. Go back and look at guys like Butkus, night train lane, the assassin jack Tatum, etc. That was a mans game back then.

Ronnie Lott too. Wasn't Tatum the guy who played on a broken leg?

Payne wouldn't do this if someone would just deck him. I'm not real sure why someone hasn't done this.

Be classified as a hate crime

I think there may be some truth to this. Dennis Rodman and Isiah Thomas said that Larry Bird would be just another guy in the NBA if he were black. They said this even after Bird and the Celtics had just beaten them in the Eastern Conference Finals while he scored 36, 35, and 37 points in games 5-7. I’m sorry but that’s not “just another guy” no matter if you are black, white, brown, yellow, purple, whatever. Sports are suppose to be about competing for the love of the game, but unfortunately there are some out there that like to create issues whenever something doesn’t go the way they were expecting it to go.

Yep. Booker T. Washington spoke often about them.

I couldn't remember what happened so I pulled it up on Youtube - it's the first hit if you search for "Omar Payne."

The real jewel in this situation is how the coaches were patting him on the shoulder and backside as he was escorted out of the game. And, a water girl ran him down to squirt water in his mouth. Nice. Act like a criminal and get treated like a king. Good stuff.
