Rick Barnes discussion (merged)

[cardvolfan]

Why do people always try to divert attention to another party in a case like this. I was satisfied with most of the season so far. 2 games though and several times last season his guys looked like they didn't have a clue. Why do you think that is?

Be glad your coach is not Penny Hardaway.

Can't argue with that.

 

[Vols8086]

You are saying that the program is in great shape but you have higher expectations. Such a bizarre, stupid take.

Lol, I didn't say that either.

No team in the history of TN basketball had more wins than the one that he molded three years ago. The team that he molded the year before that only had fewer wins than 2 other TN teams in history.

No tournament championships molded

How many sec tournaments has he won?

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

How many sec tournaments has he won?

He’s 7-5 in the SECT. Which SEC coaches have a higher winning percentage in the SECT? Hint: Bruce doesn’t.

 

[AngryButchJones]

How many sec tournaments has he won?

Lol how many coaches in TN's history over the last 40 years have won an SEC Tournament title?

Answer: 0

That's not exactly the bar for success you think it is at UT.

 

[orangemadam]

Barnes has 3 NCAAT wins in 6 years. Not very good.

 

[calban]

I would say that Barnes' expectations for the future are higher than most of his Sunshine Pumping Homers. I doubt very seriously that he wants to go into the HOF as the Dan Marino of college basketball coaches.

Memphis would be a great team to follow for you.

You obviously have a problem answering direct questions. Must be about 2nd grade.

It would be a great place to start.

Since the tournament restarted, how many times has Tennessee finished 1st or 2nd?

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

5x. 7x in the previous incarnation of 19 SECTs BTW.

Don't care how many times he finishes 2nd. How many sec tournaments has he won was the question. In his career, he has never been considered a success in tournaments.

 

[southgatevol]

5x. 7x in the previous incarnation of 19 SECTs BTW.

So 5x in the last 42 years. I would not consider that very successful. 2 of those or 40% have come under Barnes. It is factual that he needs to do better. However it is also factual he has sustained the most success in the program in the last 40 years.

Thanks Rickey Bobby....

Never? He won the Big East Tournament at effing Providence.

So, what do you want to do ? Fire him ?

I bet he makes great litter boxes.

 

[Volnuck]

Do you know what the word “exact” means?

OK, within 1.4%. My bad, did not know you were OCD.

 

[JoAllan]

.606 vs .632

I’m not OCD…….your the one that said “exact”……..not me.

You didn’t say similar, or close, or nearly……you said exact…….and you knew very well it wasn’t.
