Well, that could be substantive, or it could be we're all just old and forgetful. My point, of course, was that calling what Keelon is doing OK for a dad to do but calling what Austin's dad did wrong for a dad to do, to me, is hypocritical. Neither of them is going to win any citizenship awards.

I still need someone to tell me ANYTHING Keelon has done wrong or not within the rules. No speculation-facts.

I don't blame the Nichols family in that case. Pastner pretty much talked out of both sides of his mouth when it came to transfers and restrictions. You let Barton go to UT and then don't want Nichols go to Virginia?

Bo Ryan tried to limit some dude from like 60 schools a couple of years ago.

He caught public flack for it and quickly backed off.

I'll always blame the coach/school for not letting a kid transfer wherever they want to go. End of story.

Well, some had a big problem with a simple fact during the Pastner regime and another group are seeming to have a problem with it during the beginning of the Tubby era, but it's basic and true - the buck stops at the head coach.

If the program doesn't have players and run smoothly on the court and win enough games, it's ain't the fan's fault, the player's fault, or the ref's fault.

It's the person getting paid to do THE JOB.

Yep especially in college sports where the coach is the highest paid guy on the bench. That's why Al Maguire said he never wanted to coach in the NBA.

When Allen iverson was asked recently if he would like to coach in the NBA, he answered in his usual calm, reflective manner: "hell no, I ain't going to try to tell no MF's making more money than me what to do".

I remember Pearl or someone not granting a transfer PERIOD...

The kid transferred anyway but had to pay his own way.

@mgiannotto K.J. Lawson didn't say these are last games at Memphis w/ Dedric, but response when asked if it's been fun playing w/ bro was telling.

@mgiannotto KJ Lawson: "It’s bittersweet that it has come down to this time. But hey, you know, if you had the opportunity, you’d do the same thing.”
