I'm sure it will, but he doesn't get a pass for it the rest of his life. I'm certain Parrish would have a field day if a competitor had made a blunder such as this.

nope, but I'll give through the end of the month...he gets a pass.

Not to mention it's sports and not real life. He's not working at the NYTimes covering the Pentagon Papers or Watergate.

We all do the best we can, if Parrish missed a minor rule change that is pending, I can get that.

Let's try to be a little human here.

I like the "humane" suggestion but it was the point of the Parrish article. Shodding work......

We all screw up time to time. He can be called on it, but it's not like any of us is perfect. Even Babe Ruth struck out.

I can understand message board people not knowing about a new rule, but it's literally his job to know about college basketball, and he writes an article on this particular subject without looking into it enough to know about a new rule?

He'a a liberal, cocky, lame ass who thinks he knows everything and thinks he's always right. What'd you expect?? He's too busy to worry about facts.

he makes more than you, has his own radio show, and has plenty of contacts inside the Memphis program...moreover, I don't see what his politics have to do with anything

Really? You know who I am, what I do for a living, and who I know?? Damn, I didn't know The Amazing Kreskin was on this board!! You're apparently just like Parrish, you spout off your big mouth before you know any facts! He has his own radio show??? ooooh, I guess that makes him a better person than me because he has his own radio show!! I guess that really put me in my place!! If you think someone is important because they have their own radio show you really need to get a life, bud. And if you think Parrish is a friend of this program you ain't too bright.

My only comment is Parrish is the most connected local guy with agents,coaches, etc. Good source for inside info if you know him.

Parrish looks like a fool, as per the norm.



Seriously, Gary - give serious consideration to actually doing your homework PRIOR to exposing yourself so badly. I almost feel embarrassed for the egotistical fingerpointer.

Almost.

maybe he's more concerned with a family tragedy, and the health of his wife right now?

If he's on the radio doing his show as well as jumping in with Vernon and Calkins throughout the day to talk about the same thing over and over and over then he's got time to do some research.

Instead he jumps the gun as always to manufacture drama.

Hey, it's understandable. It's a miss. Parrish should get this right. But, it is an evolving situation and we all miss a few.

Like I said, no beef with the posters, good dudes. Just a general note as a poster, not a moderator.

Carry on all!

Weird thing is that GP first said they would reassign Lawson - way back when the coaching search was going on, and before they hired Tubby.

Then he reverses and says they can't reassign Lawson.

Then he reverses that and says the waiver is almost guaranteed.

Now he reverses that and says this will lead to NCAA investigation.

And he's been about 48 hours behind on everyone of these theories.

I get that he's had a hard time. It was actually back in February, so it's not a "rough month" like someone said. But if he's going to keep throwing things out there on podcasts, radio, and columns - he's opening himself up to criticism. NO ONE would blame him if he took some time off.

He might need to keep working to help with medical bills.

Just throwing this out there. Many of us have to work past our limits, physically and mentally, when the chips are on the table.

Again, it's certainly open to interpretation and I won't begrudge anyone calling him on it, but we've all had bad days, misses, bit off more than we can chew, etc.

Feel free to criticize, but on a scale of misses, this seems minor.

Just my $0.02. As usual, it's worth less than 2 cents.

So here's an even bigger question...Is this 1 poster truly a Pastner fan who has had such a hard time dealing with The Change, that he just takes crazy shots at Tubby?

Or is he a trolling non-Memphis fan who tries to stir things up by going against the majority of fans?

I actually thought it was the former. But I'm beginning to think the latter because he is just trying too hard and posting totally inaccurate things, just to take the contrary side of any perceived issue.

Some of you guys who have been here longer than me might provide some insight.

Agree that it's a minor miss. But it's bizarre that he kept contradicting himself, and about every time he reversed his argument, the story moved the other way on him. He was just way behind on this. So I was thinking less that it was a personal issue - and more that he might be getting frozen out a bit by the U.

Or he just wants listeners. Season is over. Nothing really to talk about. UM is a ratings boost.

I don't.

Tubby promoted his son at the expense of an existing assistant. That leaves a bit of a rough taste in my mouth personally.

I don't begrudge him composing his staff how he sees fit, but some wire got crossed. Don't know where, but there was a malfunction.

All's well that ends well, but this is not nothing from my seat. Minor? Maybe, but more than nothing.

C'est la vie, let's get some players and move on!

Yea, I'm not a fan on the surface. If it works though, let's roll.

Pearl did the same thing at Auburn with Stevie. At least Saul has cut his teeth before getting here, and has qualifications.

Gary was not the only national writer to miss the new rule. He is talking about it now and how the other guy at CBS found out about it. Might do some of you know it all's some good to listen in.
