Not for Murry he won't. Not an option.

Okay first Pitt makes dozens of posts, probably in the hundreds talking about how there is NO high school basketball talent in this area and he is now making a case for hiring a coach so he can recruit local talent.. Okay..

Nice spin, not accurate.

No, the area is not as ripe with basketball talent as the locals who over obsess about it would like to make it to be. Has the area produced even one NBA player?

However, wouldn't it seem wise that the man who recruited the one local Division I player the area has produced of the past few years and is an ETSU product be in the fold?

Nice try at an attack, Rod. Didn't work. Go back to hiring hamburger flippers.

So Wiggins who played at CoC, had a better career then Wattad and played at the same time wasn't Div I talent?

So you are saying this area might produce a worthy player ever 5-10 years, yeah better have that guy on staff to recruit that player when it comes up.
Or have a head coach who builds good relationships with the area so when a kid does have enough talent he wants to come to ETSU.

Skip Brown and Derrick Hord both drafted in the 3rd round. Don't think either one of them ever played in an NBA game. Don't think Hord wanted to, as I recall...

So the area hasn't produced one NBA player.

Yet another thing I was right about.

Spin, I'm saying that though the area we have isn't much, wherever you are at it is nice to have the local products who are talented enough play for you. Please don't ask me to explain why- the elementary nature of the conversation and the fact we have people like you who demand that I do is appalling.

The lack of intelligence you have! Sheesh!

I wasn't aware the guy who recruited Wiggins was available. I also wasn't aware he had a background at ETSU. And I wasn't aware this thread was about him.

Rod, you obviously are motivated by personal dislike for me and for John Shulman, for whatever reason, in this post.

And that's why we call you Rod Spin!

I never had a problem with Johnny when I went to school with him or afterwards when he came back to UH as the JV coach. But you are missing the big picture, Shulman didn't do a great job of recruiting Wattad. Jennings was an assitant at Science Hill when Wattad played there steered him to Chattanoga. If Bartow had a better relationship with locals and former players Jennings wouldn't have done that.

The reason I brought up Wiggins is you said and I quote.

Quote: the one local Division I player the area has produced of the past few years

So NO you weren't just talking about Shulman, you were saying Wattad was the ONLY Div I product, that is what I called you on not only did it produce Wiggins they played High school ball at the same time.

lol and you say I spin.

If you really wanted to get technical about it and talk about the Tri-Cities, then I am right.

Nevertheless, I don't follow Greeneville High School basketball and I don't follow C of C. So Wiggins was under my radar.

Thank you for correcting the technicality and by proving that for you to know such things about Greeneville High and C of C you must have no life whatsoever.

So now, RodSpin, why the personal distaste for Shulman?

I'm just curious. He wasn't nice to you back at UH or something?

Because for the motivations and the spins you've used to try to steer this thread off topic it's obvious you don't like Shulman.

Why do you keep trying to push I don't like Johnny? He was always a nice guy. Do I think he was a good coach? No. Is he a close personal friend? No. Do I have any bad feeling toward him or wish him ill? No.

This reminds me of how you keep saying I didn't/don't like LeForce which is NOT true. Just because you keep posting something doesn't make it true.

Yes. This board is filled with me going on and on about how you don't like Alan LeForce.

Where can I get that head with the finger spinning circles avatar to accompany that line?

It certainly seems odd that if you liked Shulman you would personally attack the poster who asked if he might be an assistant coaching candidate by making up trivial criticisms.

Yet another visit from our old friend Rod Spin.

I feel like Larry Holmes punishing Marvis Fraizer and motioning to the referee to stop the fight!

I don't think Shulman is a good coach so no I really don't see any point in hiring him as an assistant. The fact I don't think he is a good coach doesn't have anything to do with wether I like or dislike him.

As for LeForce, yeah you have made countless posts saying I don't like him.

Then you must not also follow this discussion board, because Wiggins has been discussed dozens of times through the years here.... In fact, here is what a search for his name on this forum brings up:

Wiggins mentions on this very board

Guess what? He hasn't been mentioned a time or two. There's 4 pages of mentions there. 4 pages worth.
Seems like most things that don't fit into your little self-conceived and delusional world are "under [your] radar". That just seems pretty amazing to me - that on this board, that *you* created and built, that there could be something that you've missed, being the sports authority and fount of all knowledge that you are, after all. This could possibly cause me to consider taking you off that pedestal of admiration that I've always had you on. I'm sure I won't, but it gives me pause....

So let's follow this thread.

First I ask if a former Chattanooga head coach with ETSU ties who has recruited the one prize Division I prospect the Tri-Cities has produced might not be a potential hire for an assistant coaching job.

I do so because the thread is about him.

Does Rod Spin get to the point? No. He goes and talks about Wiggins. Who has absolutely nothing to do with John Shulman.

Then John Shulman is a nice guy.

Then John Shulman isn't a good coach.

Could we just get through the lunacy you and your fellow insane poster Bunny bring to the board and now hear what the village idiot has to say about why Shulman isn't a good coach?

By the way. He now likes Alan LeForce. But he doesn't like Shulman, who was an assistant that LeForce himself hired.

Anybody else following this? Because, really, the Rod Spin logic and the motivations behind it are rather disturbing.

And it has become increasingly clear why Rod didn't make it as a private eye when he has such problems with the facts.

I think I can take solace in the fact that I caused Bunny to waste X amount of minutes in his life searching for mentions of a C of C basketball player totally irrelevant to the discussion so that he can make a point that fails.

Every single thing in this post is based on lies Pitt made up.

It's a side effect of having too many air fresheners in the cab mixed with behavior modifying medications.

It's relevant really only because it did a great job of pointing out your myopic viewpoint, in which nothing exists outside of your little delusional world. A world you supposedly created, after all. In that it hardly failed. One could argue that it was redundant, since you're your own worst enemy, but in showing how egregiously flawed your radar is, it was spot on.
