dang****. I'm not used to your different color yet.

But I'm not gonna shoot you down. I just don't think that's exactly what happened.

Same ole color, Snow,
I think that is what happened, myself. No coach should cave to that. There are plenty of players out there. Nobody should throw their weight around if they aren't the head coach.

Nail on the head. I have noticed that these type of apologies lately are still very selfish and only worried about themselves.

You make me better by saying that, but there has to be a limit somewhere for this to stop. I'm worried about how all of this is affecting the Memphis high school kids from signing with Memphis now.

It will hurt for a while, they are too involved in the aau scourge for it not to.

Tubby was brought in to a no win situation. I'd consider last year unsuccessful, even with The Lawson's. At some point, Tubby decided that if he was not going to be successful it was going to be because of him, not that he was handcuffed. We're mistakes made? Yes. Is there plenty of blame to go around? Yes. Will Tubby be successful here, doing things his way? Time will tell.

I forgot about AAU. So, the Lawson's are the ones that have the upper hand right now, to control Memphis basketball? Unacceptable to me. They need to go now. Move!

If it is the case?

Wow, even trending on Yahoo. Cookie-cutter apology...

While I don't believe much--if any--of that was penned by K.J., it's at least a better look than the action(s) which precipitated it. Let's hope it's the last, although I won't hold my breath.

Oh bandwagon jumper!

Poptarts?

With the pope. It means someone else has posted this topic (pope) or it's uninteresting. (i like strawberry poptarts) It would appear BWJ thinks it's both redundant and uninteresting. I'll probably be ostracized for resolving this mystery for you. They guard them closely.

Bringing back OG MT.org with the poptarts reference. Well done.

No shots here, I think it was what we needed to extricate ourselves from a toxic environment. I'll give him the (now) two years I said I would before passing judgment. I think the man knows more about basketball than 98% of the posters here so I'll let him be the boss since he actually, you know, has a job as a D1 head coach and all.

He incorporated the pope quite nicely as well.

Snapchat, short attentions spans, and others did worse - do not make it nothing. I know you're anti-Tubby. You can still be mad at him, and not justify this.
