Cheating Under Rick Barnes

[volbeast33]

I'd agree with you if Texas hadn't launched an independent investigation into the matter. If you don't bat a lash to the accusations and the fact that Texas contracted a investigation, it sounds like delusion to me.

FTR, I've been on the Barnes train since he became available. I hope nothing comes of it, but I haven't been anywhere near convinced that it's something to write off.

The school always investigates....it's why they have a compliance department but they have already stated that Barnes wasn't involved in any improprieties

I understand that, and it's believable. If the accusations are true, I'm having a hard time seeing how Barnes would hold zero liability over the situation. Hopefully I'm dead wrong.

Of the 3, who do you think will have the most success next season at their new school, Rick Barnes, Shaka Smart, or Steve Prohm? And, how do you rank each for 2015-16?

Clnsiderng Prohm is taking over a preseason top 10 team, I'll go...

Prohm
Smart
Barnes

How much liability did the NCAA find Roy Williams had in their massive academic scandal?

He wasn't there for all of it though, right?

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I don't recall anyone posting that Barnes is guilty. All I said is that the accusation puts a dark cloud over our basketball program.

How does that translate to Barnes is guilty?

I think calling it a "dark cloud" is an exaggeration. At worst, it's partly cloudy.

Great wording. :hi:

He's right...for a fake class dating back to the Dean Smith years. And you're saying lack of institutional control over a kid camera shotting a test? :blink:

Call it whatever you like. The accusation is still there.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Never said it wasn't, but there's a world of difference between a "dark cloud" and "partly cloudy".

 

[VolsSportsFan]

No but apparently it's been going on the whole time he's been there, so I don't see how that helps him.

Rain can come from both. lol

Oh I wasn't meaning it would help either one. Just making conversation and curious. I didn't think Roy was there the whole time, but couldn't remember how far back the cheating stretched.

Lol. Man, Turn it a loose. Now You're arguing about clouds. Dang.. Like I said... call it whatever you like dude and stop stressing!. I'm calling it a dark cloud. REGARDLESS!

 

[AuntieDee]

Rain can come from both. lol

Lol.

 

[Lefteye]

Lol.

It is a good comparison though. Till the AA gets involved, we can all argue whether its partly cloudy, mostly cloudy, partly sunny, scattered clouds, or dark clouds. Ya know

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Rain can come from both. lol

There's a difference between a sprinkle and a severe thunderstorm too.

 

[Lefteye]

There's a difference between a sprinkle and a severe thunderstorm too.

True. But. We're so fragile, we'd melt in either.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

LOL...you're the one calling it a "dark cloud" and now you're saying I'm stressing?

 

[Chris4Vols22]

Low pressure systems.

 

[Chris4Vols22]

LOL...you're the one calling it a "dark cloud" and now you're saying I'm stressing?

Yup.

 

[Lefteye]

Low pressure systems.

this guy gets it.

Occasional clouds

 

[Lefteye]

A spattering of sunshine.

 

[AuntieDee]

LOL...you're the one calling it a "dark cloud" and now you're saying I'm stressing?

Exactly.

 

[AuntieDee]

Good job. Now you get the picture. No matter what form that water comes in you still get the same result with both....WET! Now apply that to the dark cloud or the partly cloudy. It's still an overcast sky. 😀. Have a goodnight!
