Rick Barnes discussion (merged)

[volplaya8]

That’s great. Devoe and Mears ain’t coming back though. If you want to fire barnes that’s great, who do you replace him with?

Where did I ever say I wanted to fire him. I am just saying he is doing nothing more than 4 other men have. Make the right hire and you can have basically the same success going forward when his time is done. When you are this good on a regular basis you should want more.

 

[VolGee4]

He did. Why were we asleep the first half? That's also on him.

Turnovers, missed shots, on the road. It happens. But this thread is ridiculous.

 

[volplaya8]

Just so everybody knows, number one has the exact same problem we do and a fan base that is more sick of it. This is not about this one game and the fact it happens time to time. It is the fact this happens about 5 times a year to Barnes including once when it really matters. Until he overcomes this people are going to get sick of seeing the exact same thing year after year.

 

[VolGee4]

Y’all always know what to expect with a rick Barnes team. Heck of a second half comeback effort. But it is a staple of Barnes teams to have games like this. Won’t be the last this year.

Of course it is. IT’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL.

We weren’t going 40-0.

Attendance figures certainly say otherwise. No one likes to lose, but it happens.

But we did think we could win the conference.

means absolutely nothing to what I am talking about…do you think people in Lexington and West Lafayette are happy with their tournament runs…do you think they have trouble with attendance in those places…smdh

I was sick of seeing the same thing year after year from about 1990 - Buzz’s last year.
I haven’t yet grown tired of seeing Barnes’ teams play.

Barnes has broken Dalton Knecht

Congratulations Coach Barnes for dumbing down the hottest player we had. Not surprised. Happens a lot.

Ya know, I really like your diagnosis. When you say something like this, it removes all doubt. Just an incredibly arrogant, baseless statement.

Hated the Jerry Green years? That has already been discussed. But sure it’s better than Wade, ONeil, and Buzz. Of course what wouldn’t be.

Haha…we lost 1 game. Seriously?

Clearly you don’t understand how college basketball works.

I get it, your feelings are hurt but doesn’t change the fact your stance on Barnes is still god awful.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Lack of defensive intensity?

 

[volplaya8]

Haha…we lost 1 game. Seriously?

You see an avenue to winning SEC…doing better than 13-5? Possibly sweeping Kentucky, Auburn, Alabama? Good luck with that. Please explain to me how we do better 12-4 going forward.

Wrong again…but he isn’t anything exceptional either. I tire of people who try to change words and narratives being expressed.

 

[VolGee4]

Lack of defensive intensity?

Oh, is that something that a Rick Barnes’ team does?

You guys would criticize the team trainer if you could.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Which is exactly what you’re doing.

I’m don’t with this. You are just telling us what you think the future holds. Can’t logically discuss with that mindset.

We have some fans who just don’t understand the game.

 

[YankeeVol]

The line was -1.5, not a strong endorsement. Road games in college ball are much more difficult.

*edit. I am in NO WAY saying I'm ok with losing, just trying to be as objective as I can.

You don’t understand the game at all. If we are winning the conference then please put a bet down and double, triple your net worth. People are comical. Sometimes you just have to know you have played more, seen more, know more about sports than almost everybody. I guess at 41 my time has arrived. Simple fans are going to keep getting rh same results and expecting it not to happen.

When I ask you a question. Answer the question or do not reply at all with your passive aggressive garbage.

Easy solution for you, just don't watch the games if you hate Barnes product on the floor..

Sure, right. I’ve watched more than you.

Good night.

I hate it about 5 times a year. I said earlier this was second game this season I turned off, along with UNC game. It’s like clockwork, not even mad anymore. Just sick of having to do it.

Can’t discuss with illogical folks.

You sure do not prove you comprehend it.
