He is a liar. You might as well learn that now.
You beat me to the quote. No way any of these lemmings can explain losing out on the Lawson's. Old dogs can learn new tricks if they want to, but not tubby. I'll just have a wait and see attitude next season, but the tigers won't get one dime from me next season.
"losing out on the Lawson's"
The guys who lead the Tigers to 2 consecutive losses by just south of 70 points? What a loss.
I couldve sworn that Tubby was the leader of that team. Was he not present at those games?
Spin it multiple ways.
Lawson's knew they were leaving, they tanked the games.
I don't think they intentionally tanked anything..I just think they lost their fire as did Crawford.
Keeping your players focused and playing hard is the job of the coach but I will admit the Lawsons were a special circumstance with their dad poisoning the well.

I agree! With new players coming in, it is going to be a lot different around that basketball program. A new beginning, a new spirit, and new excitement is what we need. New players staying focused and wanting it. I also believe, that we will see competing throughout the season, and not a let down from the past players. We will have young players that won't get as tired, and these guys will want to win right away. I also believe that he will have a deeper bench this year full of young talent to help keep these young legs fresh. That my friend is a sign of a young Cinderella team, does it not?
