He made the roster!

[shorttexas1]

The last part of my post was a joke... But looky here!!!

DV is one of the few coaches openly active (even though not by his choice) on this site, that is willing to give information, expertise, and insight.  More coaches don't revel there identity because they can not speak openly to you all (the same way he does).  Personally, I have found websites and other info that I would not know about if it was not for him and others that post on this site.  My wife tells me I am a now it all and sound arrogant when I speak on a topic I truly know about!  I would like to not cause anyone to be pushed from the site of their own will or by being provoked.

This board is full of sports fans that like to talk trash about sports... Not about each other... Now please back on topic!

You know I am 5'9" and close to you in weight!! 225lbs... Your ankles, knees, and thighs are in big trouble with me!!!  If you can't stand then you can't fight! LMAO

Do I have true disdain for Dickie V??? Not at all.  But he does tend to brag way too much, and take credit for things he has no business doing.  That's why I called him out.  I said he was enrolled at Texas during the summer without 1st hand knowledge, and he was dead wrong.  Then to top it off, he comes back and says hey look at me I was right J'covan IS enrolled at Texas.  When he knows dang well that IS NOT what he said in the summer.  

With all of that talent you're recruiting to that private school Dickie, you better make sure you win state or everyone will know who held them back.  

First of all, I was not taking credit for anything that I did not say....I SAID HE WAS THERE, AND WAS GOING TO BE THERE BEFORE THAT.  Thats no big deal. You can try to call me out over the internet all you want, I know what I said (which I know you would never do face to face because most of you are real cowards anyway) My issue is your accusation that I "recruited" anyone to the school where I coach. 1) Thats a TOTALLY false accusation, 2) Winning state is no guarantee to anyone, and who are you to put that type of demand on me? If you notice, I dont really speak about what my team will do. Not my nature and its not the thing to do. Everyone else on here can say what they want, but you will NEVER hear me speak about what my team will or won't do specifically.  You pop up on here periodically just to harrass me...Either you are obsessed or you have a real disdain for me...Either way you need to back up....I dont know you, and it obvious that you really dont know me, just know OF me.  Seriously, I dont know why you would even have an issue with me, when you dont even know me...How dumb is that?

MODS: That type of accusation about recruiting, I HAVE to take serious.  He needs to be warned about that type of thing. Its a violation on this board and needs to be addressed.

Did you seriously say that you don't talk about your team??????  WHAT A JOKE!!!!!!!  Here are  a few quotes from you!!!!

Oh I won't.... ..wish somehow we were able to face HJ though.....Talk about keeping the pedal to the metal!!    Just kidding....I would not do that to those kids.....  

Now if the fans were to start running off at the mouth......That would be an entirely different story!

Not to mention the fact that after half the posts that you claim you don't talk about what your team will do you put "coach speak."  Which we all know means I am saying it only to be politically correct and otherwise know my team will destroy everyone we play!  That is exactly what that means.

DV don't watse your time!

[PoppaBearstarr]

I for one am glad he is on the right track and I hope he has a great career at UT....Good Luck Ja Covin....

[Guest DickVitale]

Spinks, how are you going to tell me what I mean? I was only joking about putting the pedal to the metal and I SAID I was kidding...I DON'T DISCUSS what we will or wont do on here or to anybody...Not my thing...I always saythat I am using coachspeak, because when I comment, thats EXACTLY WHAT IT IS. Back up.

[bullets13]

I'm glad to see him on the UT roster, as i'm a huge UT fan.  i hope he's got his act together, as he's certainly struggled in the past with attitude problems.  the good news is, he'll either work out or he won't, and Texas won't be out much if he doesn't work out, seeing as most didn't expect that he'd ever make it onto the roster.  any production they get out of him will be a bonus.  We'll know soon enough whether he's gotten it together.  if he hasn't, he won't be on the roster long!  Good luck, JB!

If when you comment on here is always coachspeak....................well.........nevermind!

Man you dudes are a trip seriously, Png for you to say that the kid will fail just give hime some time, man I hope you dont have any kids, but it is what I would expect a hating a$$ PNGer to say. That kid doesnt have toprove anything to anyone but himself. I have watched him grow up and hope, as I do all kids from this area, he succeeds. Man some of you dudes take this too far with this kid. And the reason Barnes wanted him after all of his antics is a testimony to his talent....FRESH for 2010 YOU SUCKERS

[Guest spinks]

I will agree that Rick Barnes must really love this kid.  I personally think he is a tremendous talent and if he will listen to Rick Barnes this kid will be great!

[shorttexas1]

Thanks for getting off the gas spinks!!!

Hey what do you guy think Barnes will do with this group of talent?  For example, starting five, next five off the bench, scheme of  play?

[Guest spinks]

Never been on the gas about brown.  In fact if you look at my posts about him in the past I have always supported him and wished him well.  I would NEVER in a million years wish bad on a kid.  I love his game and think he has an NBA body which goes a LONG way when you are that talented.

I am on the gas about Dickie V.  One moment he sticks his chest out like he is the baddest man alive and the next second he is a humble coach just trying to better kids lives.  It is one minute to the next with him.  Wild!

Once again, what is your obsession with me? Really. YOU CANNOT CONTROL ME. The sooner you get that, the better off YOU will be.

Come on.........don't flatter yourself.  You cannot control yourself so why would I ever attempt to control you(I have ZERO desire to control you by the way).  I was simply stating to HIM what I meant by the post.  Good Day!

[shorttexas1]

I meant about DV. You are changing the subject of every post just to attack him. We talk about the kids and u embark on your personal vendetta againgst DV.  Grow up kid have some self respect and move on. Everyone else has... Man you are pitiful.

[Guest DickVitale]

I am telling you shortt, spinks is obsessed! Every topic he is trying to correct me, or add on to what I say or something! I have no idea who he THINKS he is, or why, but it is real annoying. He was even on me for being HUMBLE in my approach when asked about my team! Dude has issues.

Far from a kid buddy. Self respect...........I have plenty.  The feelings are mutual by the way.

Ok spinks, the board and Mods are giving this guy a chance.  He is attempting (though it might not be sufficient for you) to alter his image and responses.  He has tried to keep these threads on topic, without attacking anyone.  No one else is trying to do attack him.  Why don't you be a big boy and a Christian?  Give him a chance, forgive whatever he has done to you, and move on!!  I am not trying to demean you, but as adults we can and should be able to settle differences and MOVE ON!!!

If you are able to do all this; I will know that you are far from a kid because you will be acting like it!  Now back to topic!

That is what you said.  Yet you just called me a kid and told me to get some self respect.  Not sure about this.  I am all about getting back on topic because I think it is a great topic.  However, please do not tell me about attacking people when you just said the things you said to me and I have not directed ONE thing toward you. 

[shorttexas1]

OK.. Fine with me (but now you see how it feels when your being attacked by a person you did not attack)!!!

Like I said... I wonder how Rick Barnes will use this gaurd line-up?  It has some great depth, but I don't know if there is enough minutes on the clock.  I wonder who will be the odd man/men out?  Will previous year's starters Mason/Balbay/Lucas lose significant time.  Or will it be the youngsters coming off the bench having to wait their turn?  I can't see Avery and Hamilton waiting thier turn...
