"No word from University of Memphis basketball coach Josh Pastner on whether there will be any more discipline for senior wing Trahson Burrell with the Tigers facing a pair of pivotal home games this week against Connecticut and Cincinnati...

AND

"...Speaking of internal matters, that's how Pastner is continuing to classify the situation with freshman guard Randall Broddie, who hasn't practiced or played with the team all season, yet remains on the roster and enrolled at Memphis..."

go ahead and add Broddie to the transfer list. He will not recover from this is CJP remains in place.

Is Kedren still on the team ?

Outer space!

Why extra discipline for Trahson? Isn't that matter closed and haven't we moved on?

Gotta move on from little stuff.

Josh is expressing his utmost concern for the future well-being of these guys by disciplining them for their actions. He knows the media is full of naysayers so he is choosing to keep it internal. We as fans should respect that.

every year the university should make pastner and his current team go thru a management styles class

i know josh would be a driver-driver because he does not listen to anyone

but he needs to learn how to deal with the different personalities and get ahead of the curve

(its a real pain in the ass to work for a driver-driver)

Does anyone know if what transpired with TB was "little stuff"? I love that kid as a player, but we can't have a ticking time bomb going off every night.

Did Burrell really call JP a 'fake"?

Oh trust me, Josh listens to plenty of important people, he just doesn't listen to the Negative Nellies of the local media or message boards.

Maybe Josh is going mad and acting like Captain Queeg--"who ate my strawberries?"

Hey, Calipari recruits ‘em and then runs ‘em off, too, even though he usually does it because he has someone better coming in to take their scholarship. But that's what makes him the slimeball that he is -- that and altering those LOI’s so he could keep all the kids Memphis paid him to recruit for us when he left.

And how many did he actually get to keep, the slimeball? Xavier went to Kansas, the other guard went somewhere else, Coleman stayed, Wall was uncommitted at the time -- so, Boogie and one juco kid? Two if you’re counting “flat out stole” or four if you’re counting “escape claused” out? Wow! And Josh has burned how many kids Memphis paid him to recruit, so far? Kind of puts things in a different perspective.

There is more to the Broddie story. He is also receiving his cost of attendance stipend but refusing to practice....

Wasn't there some Dude named cousins who went with Cal

I'd guess Broddie wanted a transfer early on due to some altercation. JP reacted by saying no & won't give Broddie a release, so he's getting class time this year on scholarship & his scholarship won't be renewed next year so he'll go elsewhere.

I wonder how we'd be doing if he was playing:

Houston, We Have a Point Guard

JP wanted to redshirt him after "promising" that wasn't an option on the front end. Broddie told him where he could go and is collecting his money and will be able to play next year. There is more to it that I'm sure will come out after the season.

Complaining about losing Cousins is a TOTAL JOKE.

During his recruitment, Cousins made it perfectly clear that he was committing to a COACH and NOT a SCHOOL.

He was originally commited to UAB(at least verbally, not sure about a LOI), but he wanted an out that if the coach Davis left, he would get a release. UAB refused and he was in play. The sad part for UAB is that Davis stayed at UAB, so agreeing to the release was really nothing, but UAB wanted to play hardball and their pride(it's all about the school.....sound familiar) cost them a really good player.....although a bit of a head case.

I did a cut and paste on the link, I hope it works.

Cousins is a difficult personality, and I can't even imagine Pastner trying to control him. It may be better that he did not come to Memphis.

Bottom line......This is all ancient history and has very very little, if anything to do with the quality of the team on the floor this year or the status of the program.

Memphis will get back to the top of the national picture.

I'd say the odds of Pastner getting back there is low, but if he doesn't get it done, a future coach will.
