Here are a list of his misbehaviors:

1) Refusing to enter a game
2) Telling Gillispie to 'calm down' when he was yelling at them while they were down by 20 to Miami (FL)
3) Showing up late to the IU game...

All of these have gone unpunished.

Liggins is a thug and overrated as hell. We played him in high school last year and only lost by 7 and had a chance to win, because he didn't even come to play or want to be there.

Maybe he was playing to the level of his competition.

Not when he tells a coach to 'be quiet' and 'calm down' when being yelled at for losing by 20 on your home court.

I love when people act like such incidents are unprecedented. I watched Nick Van Exel and Bob Huggins go at each other in huddles for two solid years. Certainly didn't seem to keep UC from being successful.

I never said it would keep UK from being successful. But letting a player act like that is not a wise precedent to set.

The list of successful coaches who would consider that "incident" no big deal is enormous. The two guys who played for the national title last year wouldn't give it a second thought.

Interesting that Griff reported that Chism didn't start two games because he backtalked Pearl in practice.

I disagree. He didn't want to be there and plus, we were 20-3, with only 2 seniors, and the rest underclassmen, and lost in the district finals.... Division 1. Right now we are 2-0 and 5th in the state and ranked in the top 300 in the nation by the AP.

At UK, the star players do what they want. Liggins tells Billy G when he wants to play, practice, show up etc.---they don't have much talent now, so the coaches have to put up with it.

You seem to contradict yourself in another thread...

"I was Ramar's biggest supporter. That said, losing those guys has been a Godsend to this program. Keeping guys with toxic attitudes and nonexistant work ethics on your team is never beneficial. If we were casting a sequel to New Jack City, keeping them around would have made sense. Otherwise, their removal from the team was warranted and essential to the progress of the program."

Nick Van Exel worked tirelessly on his game. His only concern was what he could do to help his team win. Smith and Crews were only concerned about which East Knoxville establishment would let them smoke blunts and drink underage on their premises. No contradiction there.

I just caught this one. This and the "insult to dumps everywhere" cracked me up. Sometimes I find your posts quite irritating but most of the time you bring creative wit that gives me a good chuckle. Well done.

Sorry to go off topic. Back to the main show.
