Ah there it is... It's the players' fault not Barnes - the guy getting paid 5 mill per year. Of course, what's the matter with me - its the players' fault. Freaking coach worshippers.

Heck Pearl was better than Barnes in the same number of years at UT.

I’m not saying he’s not part of any issues because it’s a team thing but we have 18 turnovers with 7 from one guy. How would you get them to take better care of it? Or why the best athlete in the SEC is averaging fewer rebounds than 2 guards?

Far too many contested mid-range jumpers. Very baskets in the paint and 3 pt shooting less than good....... But this is the players' fault not Barnes because he is worth every dollar of his five million dollar contract.........

lol

Im saying the roster is half trash - because of Barnes. Im saying Barnes rips his players regularly but takes no blame. That kind of grates on players - hell Barnes rode Williams when he was hurt...... He runs them in the ground.........

But you guys want to put it on the players..... Barnes has been just above average in his time at Tennessee. He doesnt deserve 5 mill a year or even half of that money!

I think there’s more to our struggles than we will ever see on the court. You can’t measure or create chemistry sometimes. As a coach sometimes you try to get the players so mad at you that they will bond over their shared frustrations. Who knows but somethings up for sure

What Barnes has done and not done to On is criminal. Guy plays a solid first half and is rewarded with zero minutes in 2nd halfS this after Fulk picked up dipshit foul and had to sit.

It is on the players! He wants dogs that bite!! He wants to run up and down the floor instead of this half court offense all the time. The seniors ain’t leading... Pons drive and dunk was it. Fulky got two scores in the paint. They need more intensity on offense. Barnes has plenty of issues. Example. Use a timeout when the team is out of focus. Their story isn’t done but you go ahead and bury them.
