You know, I disagree about the coach should not discuss these problems in the media.

These kids are in the spotlight because they choose to be on the team. They are there and subject to public scrutiny. I commend Penny for being open about these problems because the fans want to know the details. If player attitudes and egos are causing problems, then they should be held responsible for their actions, and part of that is exposure of their behaviors to the public, the people who pay money and support the program.

Now is the time for these kids to learn about the realities of real life and how they need to respond to situations that don't always go the way they want them to. It's life. Get over it. You think it's gonna be easy in the future when you are trying to earn a living playing a game? The harsh reality of real business is gonna bite them in the azz soon enough. On real life, everybody does not get a participation trophy for showing up.

I have to admit, I am not liking the way that one of the things I really find pleasure in, college sports, is starting to change and is going in a direction that I'm not sure is an improvement. I have a lot of hobbies to occupy my time and it may be that college sports is dropping down the list of priorities. What a shame...

Anything that is going on in a closed locker room or practice stays in the locker room and practice.

If the media needs to know they would be allowed at closed practices and in the locker room during team meetings.

Team has to feel that they can trust the coach.

He went out of the way to say he and his staff are doing a good job.

99% of coaches would have said that we need to do a better job coaching up the players.

Instead of trying to push the blame off on the players.

Since you seem to have a lot of experience coaching high level athletes can you list the school you were at and for how many years and your W-L record for each? Thanks!

Was interesting that he said he yelled for a timeout 4 times at the end of the game and the ref didn’t give it to him. Quinnerly got a decent look anyways at least but timeout would have maybe given us a chance to throw it closer to the basket instead of a 3.

We need a Dude who can Bust the Trey

What are you, 100 years old? The game was at 6pm.

Geeezzz you sure do assume a lot....

Ever though about what time this person has to get up to go to work? You have no idea what his life dictates that he has to do.

Not busting your chops but some people do go to bed at other times than you do...

This ain't going on in a closed locker room or a closed practice. It's going on right in the middle of FedEx F'in Forum in front of a bunch of people who paid good money to come to the game...in the ice and snow....
So, that kills your first argument.

Penny said it was on him...he owned up to it, but if some of the players have attitudes and egos than are problems that are affecting the team as a whole, no reason why he should lie and not tell the fans the truth. These players have to grow up and take responsibility for their actions, cause when they get into the real world, no employer is gonna put up with this childish sh!t for long and they gonna find they buttholes getting tight looking for another way to pay the bills. You think Penny is making this stuff up about bad chemistry among the players to cover his own azz? Really?

Man, I would love for God to have gifted me with the talent that some of these kids have because I am smart enough to realize that the ride does not last forever and you don't get a lot of chances in life to do something special with your talent and time. Ask Caleb...it can all be gone in an instant. Poof!!!!

There is a reason there was so much turnover from the team we had last year and I firmly believe that those who left, not all of them left of their own choosing. And like it or not, that is going to be the way college athletics works from now on. Kids can leave anytime they want to and be replaced before they close the door on their car. Coaches can tell a kid it's in his best interest if he leaves to go somewhere else and the coach can get a replacement in 24 hours.

Welcome to the real world snowflake....

Has nothing to do with high end athletes.

Has to do with basic respect.

There are certain things you don't do publicly if you want to show your respect for others and maintain their respect.

A major whom i was associated with, would never call out a subordinate in front of their men.

But as soon as they were outside of earshot of the men, you had better hope you were wearing asbestos underwear.

As it say in Ecclesiastes there is a time for every purpose.



Everything that is rumored to be going on right now is an example of a group that is lacking respect for the staff and each other.
