His recruiting is way overrated....he has not had a top 25 class yet. This yr he is below 30 in all the major services and has been steadily dropping in ESPN down to 19 right now.

CCM misses in recruiting have hurt more than we realize. Imagine if Austin Nichols was on this team with Looney coming.

Dude you don't know what you are talking about. All you need to know is UT wasn't willing to shell out the dough for a top coach. Hamilton thought he could find another Pearl, no pun intended, without paying top money. We went after Shaka Smart and low balled him, and he wouldn't even consider us anymore. I also know through someone special that Hart put on, and I quote, "the most amateur coaching search of all time" when looking for a head football coach, and I also know that Strong was our man we wanted but we also low balled him as well and he decided last second not to come. I actually around midnight got a call saying Strong is the coach, and it went south by mourning because of Hart and Cheek. Hart and Cheek are not well respected by our main donors and I have heard with my own ears that the Butch Jones hire was pure luck, and we had very few options left. We did contact Grudens agent, and the numbers were so far off his agent never called back just for a FYI. My point is, no top donors at UT think that these buffoons will hire a top notch coach. I've heard the words incompetent, unrealistic, and armature to describe him as a person, and the only reason he's still here is because of the money debt issue that he actually knows how to fix and is fixing, which the donors want more then anything. We will not hire a top notch coach, and we will settle for a mid major coach. You can call BS, but I'd take my word on it.

Our coach has NO BUSINESS coaching this team...never has! We went with another revolving door hire here, and the results are showing! This team cant PULL OUT A BIG, CLOSE GAME...THEY CRUMBLE EVERY FREAKIN TIME!! They are weak, soft and fragile. Except for McCrae, all of them play like little girls. Instead of going hard to the basket with authority, they back down and go up like little ballerinas! All I know is a GOOD, TOUGH coach would have reamed Maymon a new a-hole after that went up for that layup like a SISSY!

I've heard the exact same thing. I'll go a little further and say it has more to do with Cheek than it has to do with Hart. Cheek is Hart's direct supervisor (unlike it used to be) and Hart is simply an extension of Cheek. Expect the same until a more pro athletic chancellor replaces Cheek or the UTAD is placed back under the University president. It is truly a screwed up mess over on the hill.

Being passionate is fine, but calling people sissies, tulips (if that was you) and such is going overboard. I can understand being upset and disappointed over a winnable game, but referring to Maymon as a sissy over a missed layup is uncalled for IMO.

I don't like giving away victories, but I'm willing to wait longer than 9 games before I start calling for a change.

I'm "correlating" with what you said. If Cuonzo isn't pushing his players to train on their own, then he doesn't care

Your "correlating" is predicated on something you have no direct knowledge of. You're speculating that he doesn't push them. See the first sentence in my post you quoted.
