Lapides stories on Yates, Dana and I think Tic make this look like a glowing endorsement

I won’t argue the point/issue, maybe my dad is forgetting what you claim because he is 79, however his words to me this morning were...”this is the worst article ever written about a Tiger coach, and I’ve seen a lot of coaches”. But any way you slice it, this hit piece article by Calkins (which is all true by the way), could never be described as a glowing endorsement. The article is brutal.

Calkins only lowered the boom because tubby lowered the bar.

Calkins and Lapides did cost us Scott Drew in 2009. But they changed the administrations mind- not Drew's.

We have a tough five game stretch coming up. I suspect the best we could do is win two. It looks like to me we will see 14 losses for sure.

Drew can maybe coach but that dude from Baylor is not Memphis good.

"Threatening players with deportation might work for Egyptians and Colombians, but it won't work for Memphis natives."

Baylor’s Scott Drew missed his true calling.

https://www.foxsports.com/college-basket...ons-040912

Instead of being a basketball coach, he should have been a televangelist. Because with his holier-than-thou shtick about his Christian faith, he fooled the masses for years into believing that he did not violate NCAA rules.

He did so by preaching the good word, leading prayers and belting out songs. The same way Jimmy Swaggart, Marvin Gorman and Jim Bakker did.

They all would be proud of Drew, who has always portrayed himself as innocent despite being constantly accused of cheating during his nine seasons at Baylor. It’s a time span in which he has taken the Bears from ruins after a former player killed his former teammate and turned them into a power that has made the Elite Eight in the NCAA tournament two of the past three years.

https://www.foxsports.com/collegebasketb...all-101210

Mark Morefield's association with Scott Drew dates back many years.


"The FoxSports.com article included a copy of a text message that was sent from the Baylor assistant Mark Morefield to Huss, saying that Baylor had the power to deport Perea if he did not go to Baylor."

Nasal certainly does not always tell it like it is. He has been notorious for wanting to write a certain kind of story then hamfistedly promoting that.

In this case, he seems right, that there is far too much lack of taking responsibility and that it is somewhat beyond the pale to even make jokes about the kids having psychological problems.

This team is limited, but even this limited team should not have laid such an overall effort egg at ECU. All teams slump. This is an extended pattern of lack of engagement. Somewhat unprecedented.

Someone please drain the Tub.

Ridiculous.

Now, it's Calkins fault?

Ask Scott Drew if a writer can have an effect on a coaching search?

There's nothing he said in this article that isn't true or that we don't already know, but it's important that he writes the column because he has a platform. This puts more pressure on the administration.

The worse it gets, the more excited I am because I know there is hope for the future when a change is made.

Scott Drew is a sugar coated slime ball and right at home in that Baylor cesspool.

Yea, hiring Scott Drew while we were sitting on a notice of allegations would have been really smart.

Reality.

Calkins don't hire or fire nobody.

He doesn't make Tubby suck.

He isn't a friend or a foe of the University of Memphis.

He is a columnist at the local rag.

If admin or boosters backed away from a candidate because of something Calkins or Lapides said, then we are way more f***ed than I ever imagined.

Screw a search firm, what does Calkins think?

Bruahahahahahahahaha.

Well....they might not have researched Drew as well as Calkins did.

Our BB hiring guys seem to fall for the schmooze and smile type.
