I see all the usual cheap shot artists are chiming in with their hateful nonsense again.

Because, hypothetically, one can be a fan of a team and not necessarily a fan of the coach. Josh Pastner is not our team and once he moves on (whenever that may be), our team will not cease to exist.

Just like people bashing RC Johnson or Shirley Raines were never questioned as fans, because Shirley and RC are merely employees of our great University. Although I think it's in extremely poor taste, one can criticize a player and still be a fan of the team.

You disgust me

That's not what happened here.

Hoopdreams started in with the typical snide attacks and was called a negative poster.

His grown up response? Suggesting that poster give oral sex to the HC during post game press conferences.

Joe1 did his typical giggling and egging it on.

The simple question I was responding to was "Why do posters like Hoopsdream and Joe1 bash our coach? What in hell kind of fan are you?"

But Hoopdreams thought he was being criticized so he fired back. EVERYONE needs some thicker skin.

Period.

Don't shoot the messenger, kiddo.

It's the CONSTANT bashing that is annoying, especially in the off season when they have no real complaints about anything of substance.
Keep on defending complaining if you want, just don't expect everyone else to agree with your negative slant.

Perhaps Hoopdreams thinks the CONSTANT defensiveness is annoying? Just playing devil's advocate.

I'll leave the justifications in your hands.

I prefer people stop derailing threads with that boring nonsense.

No, you are not. You ARE awfully defensive, though.

The position hasn't really changed since the 1980s. I suppose for some a foot stool would be more appropriate than knee pads, and for the really adventurous crazies, they use shoulder pads.

You misunderstood. I'm only talking about the joke being funny.

You can get the kneepads out for every postgame.

Now I get it.
Just another cheap way to bash coach.
Why didn't you just say so?
Pastner: Good coach.
Tigers: Inexperienced
Hoop Dreams and Joe: Obnoxious as hell and totally unworthy of being acknowledged as Tiger fans.

You can go talk to Tom B. about whether or not I'm "unworthy of being a Tiger fan", considering the Fact that I'm a season ticket holder and have been going to games since James Bradley played. You ask him if I'm unworthy. Better yet ask him if he thinks he should rip my tickets away from me? What hoop dreams said was funny. It doesn't mean I hate the great and wonderful josh. And it doesn't mean I'm unworthy of being a Tiger fan. I would bet I'm actually more worthy than you considering the money I spend the amount of games I go to both home and away.

You're unworthy, please quit buying tickets and go root for some other school.

nope, I'm very much worthy. the fact that you cheer for the same team I LOVE stinks to say the least but its not worth me not being a fan anymore. Please stop telling people they shouldn't buy tickets. As for the "go cheer for another team", I wish like heck you would.

Constant bashing creates this kind of thread which some seem to enjoy and some don't.

Some of us are actually here to hang out with Tiger Fans in a lighthearted, jovial way while we gather information, post and listen to others.

In this kind of a thread, all discussion and camaraderie gets nuked.
Plus nothing ever resolves.

Mods have to work too hard here. sad

This thread got derailed and nuked by the third post.

Why has all of this nonsense started back up again? What has changed recently?

Oh, that's right.

Many here are fans of the BB program, UofM and all things Tiger, not to mention all things Memphis. Some of us do not think public criticism and public bashing is a results-oriented method of change. Some think it is.

But most folks who are constantly driven to voice disapproval of some facet of Memphis and the UofM will continue in this vein no matter who is Head Coach.

If anyone on a public board is driven by the constant need to criticize the Head Coach of our BB program, it would probably be better if you did this in a more private setting. These kinds of threads have the potential to influence recruiting and team chemistry in a negative way.

Yup, the board was solid for about a month while a handful of posters were banned, I had to go to the other boards to start **** with trolls because everyone here was behaving like mature adults.

So much for that.
