You mean like the "adults" on staff at Trezevant? Kids learn from the behavior of their coaches and teachers.

Ok so the Lawsons learned from Tubby.

Tubby only had them for a year. Look a little harder.

I will just throw this comment out there.

Dedric and KJ always showed poise, sportsmanship and class on the court during there time with us tigers. I do not remember any negative incidents on court.

Of course, KJ did some lousy things in social media upon his exit. That was a mistake that he should own up to.

I do not know the Lawsons personally. I am not happy about their leaving us.
But imho, they do not deserve some of the criticism of character that they have received from some Tiger fans.

KJ did not always show poise on the court - or off. There were private incidents. There were also the huddle-laughing, jawing with fans on the court, arguing with refs. There has been plenty of smoke. And I was one that said he just needed to mature and give him time.

But the 2 things he did on the way out the door are all we need to give us the right to criticize his character. He publicly gave the program the finger - literally. So public criticism is very fair.

I agree 100%.

UNBELIEVABLE

Tubby didn't want Keelon as an assistant coach, even if it cost us the Lawsons-perceived as a good move by many, IMO. Myself included.

Do we want the head coach to have the right to pick his own staff, or not? We (I) seem to want to give the coach the right to pick his own staff, as long as we (I) get to approve the hires. That's kinda laughable, seeing it in print.

Personally, I think the entire situation stinks. Chronologically:
1. Hiring Keelon in order to get the Lawson kids reeked. I was against it from day one. I understand it, sure, but I still thought it reeked. And the end certainly didn't justify the means, IMO.
2. Hiring Tubby didn't stink, per se, IMO. We apparently were looking for the anti-Pastner. We got him. What did (does) stink, however, is that it appears we've only got one assistant who's on the front lines recruiting. I hope it works for us but I'm not confident.
3. Hiring Saul reeked, too, for reasons covered ad nauseum here and elsewhere. I understand it, sure, but I still think it reeks.

It's an imperfect system, and we have a dysfunctional situation at the U of M basketball offices, IMO. Can it work? Maybe. Will it work? I don't know. There's a lot to overcome.

My thoughts are generally clear; my typing, not so much.

Clear as a bell, and I agree with you.
