Couldn't agree more. We mock what we don't understand. And, as with all stereotypes, it is rooted in ignorance.

Marshall is the leader in the clubhouse. Dark horse is Larry Krystkowiak. Barnes should be gone very quickly - today or tomorrow. Looks like a complete overhaul of staff. I think it's a huge mistake for anyone coming in not to retain Jai Lucas.

Go to Austin. Go to Tuscaloosa. Repeat until you can't bear the thought of leaving Austin to go back to Tuscaloosa.

Okay - the firing assistants to save job was a farce. Allows Barnes to save face. Idk why this stuff happens when it all gets out anyway.

Don't you have a 9th place conference finish to celebrate? Or a state recruiting championship? Oh, I forgot, only took Chuck 6 wins to regain the top of the recruiting chain. #obsessionnoted #littlebrotherroleresumed

Yes!! Thank goodness. I have heard he had no chance to return and then read those articles... Absolutely ridiculous since the assistants were about the only thing holding the program together, most notably Lucas. Please get this done yesterday.

Really, in CBB, a head coach driven sport much more than CFB, the assistants are the problem? Let's start by getting rid of Jai Lucas, the only legitimate recruiter on the staff, now that Barnes' reputation is mud among the top recruits :rolleyes: So incredibly stupid.

Patterson is the worst. Seriously. If only he had the cajones he tells anyone who will listen he has. Every player who can is going to bolt now. And we delay the inevitable one more year.

I agree. Got to see a bit of both teams. One of the things I liked Is that Kenny and Brady keep their teams at a number where everyone can play and both do a good job with substitutions. See so many teams with 15 or more kids on the bench and some barely playing. Kind of defeats the purpose imo.

Yet

He wasn't suspended

:D. For some reason, that is a huge deal between the UK Wildcats and the KU Jayhawks. They both get really hostile when you mix up the two. Been a victim on both sides of that ;)

And I hope not btw

What have you heard there?

I'm still hearing he's gone. Not sure the delay. Might have something to do with replacements still coaching or recently eliminated.

Call them KU to a Wildcat and those are fighting words! UK man, UK. And SEC basketball is and always has been Kentucky and Florida. Top heavy as can be.

For the record, he was placed on the "exempt list" last season and continued to draw his $13M salary. He hasn't been suspended yet but I am sure they will factor in the 15 regular season games he missed last year.

I am a huge believer in the principle of "innocent until proven guilty." But this case really bothers me. Hardy was found guilty after a trial before a judge, and sentenced to 18 mos probation. He then appealed to have a trial before a jury (a two bites at the apple rule they have in Carolina if you're convicted in a bench trial - judge only trial). I would even cut the guy some slack if he had been acquitted by a jury after a second trial. But paying the girl money to have her not appear again is a miscarriage of justice imo. I will root for the Cowboys as I always have. But I am not at all happy we signed this a-hole. I am for as lengthy a suspension as possible.

I agree. Zjori Bosha had a solid frehman season. He's going to be even better with the new guys coming in. The shooter Nick Garth from Cy Lakes is going to complement him well. They should both help open things up for the each other.

Please let this happen.

Not sure. There was a kid about that height whose dad is a coach at Central. They have a kid from Austin with some size. And a 6'5 kid that went to Marshall this year.

Gotcha. He will probably play some with both. He's a go getter and he can probably run the show more with the 13s.

He was wearing 4 Friday nite

Nice! Defenders showing out this weekend! Congrats to our SETX 8th graders!

He played with them Friday night. I saw that game.
