"Tougher Breed" slogan by CCM

[TechnoVol]

Does anyone else think that perhaps CCM cooked up the "Tougher Breed" slogan hoping that some of his players would take on more of that mentality?

With the reported reputation that CDT runs a physically tough program, it makes me wonder if in fact some of CCM's former players and recruits aren't buying in and leaving because they don't have that personality.

I hate the roster turnover but ultimately we need players here who will embrace CDT's system.

Monty Python "run away! run away" comes to mind right now

It was a catch phrase....nothing more. I think you're giving Martin too much credit in terms of his ability to motivate players.

Besides, Martin is a quitter in my book. He knew he'd never go any further here at UT, so he bolted. He beat pansy teams to reach the Sweet 16 and did so with some NBA talent. Look to Cal in 2-3 years......if you need help locating them, check the toilet.

This! Absolutely this!

that's a little harsh, you sound bitter...

No, just glad to see him gone.

I mean, if this purge just has to happen, may as well be now. I REALLY hate to see Thompson go, I think I speak for everyone there, but we're going to have a lot of new faces this season and new players to get excited about.

I believe Martin was mainly a players coach ... while Tyndall is a players coach that expects results from his players. The players that Martin got the most results from was from Pearls recruits.

 

[Keyser Soze]

They played weak... and apparently some of them were! Good Riddance

 

[GOATeric14berry]

I do wonder If Donnie Knoxville has a more physical practice then so did

It's clear that Tyndall and the existing players aren't connecting on some level, whatever it is. That's fine...I don't blame anyone or point any fingers, but it's a painful process for all involved. Just think of it as growing pains. After the new stars emerge later this year, we'll have forgotten all about these guys.

@patrick552 @SportsAnimal99 @UTCoachTyndall won't be any more UTEP losses. Vols won't play down to opponents and will be harder to guard.

Boy, "playing down to the competition" was the big buzz-phrase for the Martin era. We certainly did at times, but I'm kinda sick of that talking point

"A tougher bleed!" Cause some are just pu$$ies.

Josh Richardson is the only one I would be suprised if he left . I don't think his mom raised a quitter.

I hope not but Tyndall had some of those games too every year. He lost to a couple bad teams last year with close games against several more.

You people don't even believe what you write.

Jarnell Stokes became a beast. Josh Richardson became one of the best players in the country at the end of last year. Maymon, playing with no knees, couldn't beat out Steven Frickin' Pearl. McCray rode the bench.



We lost our starting point guard going into the year and never heard Cuonzo ***** about it once. He just went out did work.

We lost our best recruit in the middle of the season. Never heard Cuonzo ***** about that once. Just did work.

But he can't recruit and he didn't coach but somehow he let his talent--filled up with NBA talent--slide right on into the Sweet 16.

Yep.

Meanwhile, Bruce, who had Tobias and Scotty and McCrae and Maymon got his ass beat by 100 points by that Michigan team.
