What was Brownell supposed to say to kids he visited under those circumstances? "Look, uh, I know the donors and administration hate me for some reason, and despite doing nothing wrong don't have a new contract yet. But sure, I'll be here the next 4 years. Of course I will."

Blame Rosemary DePaolo, Mike Capaccio, and Kelly Mehrtens for what Benny Moss and then Buzz Peterson walked into. Under Chancellor Leutze and Peg, none of that mess would have ever happened.

Meanwhile, Buzz deserves credit for cleaning up the program from the APR stuff, and leaving it in a better place than he found it. We didn't win under him, but he set the table for Keatts.

We're all in agreement that Keatts did great things here on the court. But he shouldn't be in the "ring of honor" with guys like Wainwright and Brownell.

Also, there are two sides to every story. There is quite a bit i'm aware of that you may not be aware of based on the treatment of Keatts as he left as well. So let's not pretend we have a good guy v. bad guy situation.

Did you ever stop for a second here and think that maybe some of us are aware of somethings you are not?

in your "facts" comparing the two situations you used CB's recruits to count as depth, that's laughable.

And did you ever stop to think there are some facts I am aware of that you are not? Has it ever crossed your mind that maybe there was a reason Keatts felt less than obliged to do everything he could for UNCW as he left? Or, is he just a bad person who for no reason decided he shouldn't help UNCW as he exited?

And I also counted Benny's recruits his first year. What's your point?

My point is without CBs guys you have ZERO depth. I wish we could take both teams, play a head to head game and i'd gladly bet you my car keys. I'll digress.

I don't care what you think may have happened to him behind the scenes, if he's truly the good guy you paint him to be you DON'T do those things! Especially to the university that gave you your shot, and that SHOT made you millions. Take the high road, walk away on a high note don't burn any bridges and move on. Instead he decided to be an A-hole, swing his junk around and burn bridges.
Lets just stop, we get it, he's gawd to you, clearly he can do no wrong even when the picture is CLEARLY printed right in front of you. according to you, he didn't even have to use I40, he walked on water all the way to Raleigh!

You'd lose your keys, so I guess it's a crappy car.....

Bridges were burnt before he ever had a chance, but not by him.
