Had me very worried for a second; I don’t think he understands what constitutes a bounty.

Also, Grant needs to keep a lid on company secrets.

Never thought about this but it makes sense. Grant repping UT very well.

Thanks for sharing.

I probably should have put a question mark at the end of my caption

So I think the refereeing association has marked Santiago Vescovi as the perpetual sacrifice for that jump ball physicality because the often battered guy can’t get a call on off-ball cuts! He’s the whipping boy!

Bounties involve money:

He is talking about the quicker picker up.

About damned time we channeled our bad boys/detroit selves. Hope this kind of thing continues.

It has, ask Duke, Texas and Alabama. I could go on, but we pounded teams physically, last year

I believe Dean Smith once commended Barnes for being great at teaching his players how to foul / play very physical and not get whistled for it. Think we saw that on display this past season more so than any season in RB’s time in Knoxville. This past year’s team made up for its lack of consistent scorers by playing big boy defense.

That is hilarious! Outstanding!

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

No way. Barnes prepares his players for games instead of being a demonstrative clown on the sidelines barking at refs for fan comfort?

CRB hangs his hat on physical defense and rebounding and I want the offense to be just as elite this upcoming season.

I thought Barnes had gone all Gregg Williams there for a moment.

Yes sir, I read the thread title and thought we were about to start looking for a new Basketball coach.

Grant was talking about how hard the offseason training was and that two people quit and transferred after a training session in the spring of his freshman season. I'm wondering who he's referring to? My guess is Ray Kasongo and Shembari Phillips but I could be wrong.

Wow. I knew Barnes was tough but I didn’t know it was that tough.

My guess is that it was Kwe Parker, I think both he & Shembari Phillips transferred a bit after the season ended that year.

The full interview is really good and gives some interesting perspectives on UT basketball and the NBA. I didn't even know he was is the VP of the NBAPA since his second year and only lost the vote by 2 his rookie year. Also, a lot of the shocking transfers we get each year have a lot more context..

 

[iKrager]

This gives more insight to why Plavsic also was “on a leash”. They used that man to scare tf out of teams lol

 

[dobre_shunka]

Maybe Barnes saw Slapshot and took some inspiration from Reggie Dunlop.

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

Brilliant coaching

Tim McCracken sends regards. He's worth a hundred bucks
