Irrational Rick Barnes takes (merged)

[jtdavis]

Coach Barnes has little control over biased officials.

When we start getting bounced constantly in the Elite 8, I’ll call Rick Barnes an Elite 8 coach

I’m not sure if your problem is ignorance or just plain stupidity

 

[johnboyhunter]

You need slapped

I’ll volunteer.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

So… what else does Rick Barnes need?

He has a couple of roster spots to fill. Otherwise he’s doing what he needs to do. Continue to keep his teams at an elite level and capable of (and regularly) beating any other team in the country and the NCAAT crap shoot will work itself out. You ignored the comment, but Barnes is TN’s most successful NCAAT coach in history - something that you have a very limited ability to understand.

The fact this thread still exists is pretty awful.

Surprising that a guy so skilled in history and statistics wouldn't understand that

Think of it as the basketball forum dumpster. If your posts get moved here it's a sign

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

True about UT. What about Barnes?

And friend, I’m not saying get rid of him, but what else does he need?

Nothing, Bozo

He'll be 70 in July, it's time

For you to go away and never come back.

He is a Sweet 16 coach who is responsible for 50% of our school Elite 8 appearances.

If you’re gonna call him a Sweet 16 Coach, then call us for what we are, we’re an NIT college basketball program.

Ask Candice Parker, ask Bruce Pearl, ask anyone who knows basketball.. he’s a hall of fame coach. He is putting us in the fight consistently and giving us the best odds in program history to actually compete and win.

If you want to fire him I see you are being foolish at best. This was the best program we’ve likely ever fielded and we had a great year. Three wins away from a National Championship is always a good year in my book.

He's earned the right to leave whenever he wants.

Agreed. The gameplan was solid because we had a chance to win all the way up until the final 2 minutes. Going against biased officiating and a 7’3 scoring machine that’s what you want. Hit your free throws and a “do over” on a bunch of those short range misses and we win. This wasn’t on coaching.

So… what else does Rick Barnes need?

A freakishly tall Asian that gets gifted 400 free throw attempts a year

 

[BowlBrother85]

He'll be 70 in July, it's time

Because no coach over 70 has ever been successful? Because Rick Barnes didn't just have one of his best seasons at Tennessee?


DUMB.

I didn’t realize you got to make that decision for him.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

I don't, it's strictly opinion, just like yours. Didn't realize it would hurt your feelings so bad

 

[Volsfaninva917]

He's earned the right to leave whenever he wants.

If you say so

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

If you say so

You seem to have hurt feelings.

Weird how you got that out of “I didn’t realize you got to make that decision for him”. Maybe it’s time for you to retire.

^^^^ Post of the Day. Right here. ^^^^

Pushing a coach out, after completing the best season in Tennessee basketball history, would be epically stupid.

Smarter fans. Let's start with you. Learn basketball.

Oh man, I wish I could! Gulf coast side of Florida please!

 

[OrangeInKy]

It probably did. But the History and Statistics courses I took while at the University of Tennessee have served me well..

If you’re into statistics run the numbers on this ratio you got going
