Seemed like a natural move for Erickson to me too. Just seeing a lot of insinuations toward what you say. As I said, I know nothing of anything going on behind the scenes; just a lot of chatter about it. And completely agree on the new hire. His wife and her sister are excellent in their own rights so was happy to see him back in OF with the head job.

I honestly thought they had quit before that last run in Game 3. Saw 83 percent of betting public was on Dallas before the series started. That blew my mind. Goes to show you that most casual basketball fans only pay attention to offense and scoring. Got so sick of hearing the Mavs have the best 2 players in the series (although Luka being the best is probably a given). But when your two “stars” are easily the worst two defenders of the 10 starters in the game, you’ve got problem. Defense winning championships is still a thing.

Agreed. And with a disclaimer that I don’t know ANY inside info on this one, I can tell you that my OF peeps are BIG mad over this one. Doesn’t seem shocking to me at all, seems like a no brainer from a coaching standpoint. But it seems some think there is more involved here internally in Bobcat country.

Season ends tonight hopefully. I will say that before during this series, I got a glimpse of how obnoxious Cowboys fans must be (hard to gauge when you are one). At least with the Cowboys there have been rings won though.

The 30 for 30 they did on him “The Luckiest Guy in the World” is one of my favorite sports docs. And this tells you what you need to know about the man.

We were taking about him the week before this happened. When you ask who the best WR of all time is, almost everyone will say Jerry Rice. Larry Allen is the only correct answer at Guard.

Great hire PNG

You will not find many better ADs at the high school level than Smalley. I don’t know the particulars of the reassignment but my guess is Daspit will turn out to be an excellent hire, as almost all of Smalley’s hires are. His track record on hires speaks for itself. And the man truly supports and wants to win in all sports. That is a fact if you know anything about him.

Orangefield loses some key players including their probably their second and third best players (although imo they return their best player and their second most talented player). The Thomas kid has the tools to be really special before it’s all said and done. So that being said, I would say OF should be competing for district once again. And Scales will continue on his path to be the best to lace ‘em up in Bobcat country.

Brad is a great dude with a sharp sense of humor. They will miss him over here.

Omar didn’t want the WB job. I doubt he would want this one. He just got a new contact at Lamar too supposedly. SETX is losing another ELITE coach who is an incredible human being as well. Wish Coach Davis and his family all the best.

Y’all see this?

Very well said. I’ve always said he’s the most underrated coach in our area. In my book, no one “taught” the game better than Coach Foster. And it showed watching his teams play. And as great a coach as he is, he’s an even better person. That’s saying something.

I feel this. Really interesting case. Probably more so to us than most any other place in the world. Honestly though, as someone who has heard eminent domain cases as an appointed “referee,” these poor people’s case(s) do seem pretty analogous.

Hook em Scottie Sheffler! Best in the world (And how about another 7 figure score for Dave Portnoy? Back to back futures with UConn and now Scottie.)

I have no idea. Never figured out what it accomplishes either.

You gotta hand it to their marketing - they knew the correct demographic when advertising hookers 😂

No, no @baddog. He assured everyone he would never stop looking for their killer. Must not have had any mirrors in his home…

I just hope someone else picks up the search for Nicole and Ron’s killer 🙏

So Scott Drew to UK? Totally different style than Cal but can’t wait to see what he can do in Lexington. One of those guys everyone seems to like (as opposed to Cal who is pretty polarizing).

Oh why not Sampson? Seems like a natural choice

No run at Nate Oats?

Sounds like it’s happening. What if Musselman pulled a Beard and backed out and went to UK? Mr BG buzzaro world!

Normally the player introductions are the last thing done just before tip off. Do the anthem right before or right after that. Only issue is normally bands play school song right after anthem. Those would need to be done ahead of time to keep it from being too long.
