Looks like most of that article isn't exactly true, or at least anymore. I found this quote interesting:I highly doubt Barnes has said this openly. I have read about this twice, with him almost going to UCLA. I will try and find the links and post when I find them again.
I was a bit ambiguous sry about that. Was answering a question if Barnes felt disgruntled. I did so based on what I had read. Wasn’t supposed to be fact but one possibility.
As UCLA tries to lure Rick Barnes, issues in the Tennessee Athletics Department emerge.
While Tennessee is a good job, UCLA has a history, prestige, resources, and recruiting advantages that the Volunteers simply cannot compete with.

I disagree totally with the bolded. I think that is bullsh!t. They may have basketball history, UT has just as much prestige, resources, and recruiting advantage as UCLA. I would argue possibly more.
On the other hand, it could go very well with a guy like Cone who values his faith.

Don't disagree in a sense but your also missing the idea that there may be a positive to coming back based on what they are told.Not a good analogy. A millionaire looking to make a sideways-ish move vs kids (one very blue collar) looking to go from nothing to making millions and not risk an injury that would negate that.

Incorrect on the second. If you prefer then allow me to show you the door. It’s all in word choice on the last which is a simple concept to grasp. We teach that to children daily. And I will always stand by that. You keep missing my point it seems. You’re ignoring what it sounds like to some people just because it doesn’t bother you (social detachment). We think an idea is silly when we don’t understand it. And that’s the difference it seems between you and I. I can understand why he entertained UCLA. I understand him being honest. I can understand why others are upset. Although I understand certain things doesn’t mean I agree with all of it. Life isn’t black and white. There are multiple shades of grey that exist. And that point also applies to how he could have answered the questions in the press conference.Correct.
Don't mind if your interested, don't mind if you even prefer (sketchy), just don't tell me you would if.... Lol

Its a career decision. On both ends.
If they come back after the feed back and get drafted next year, what made that decision for them?

Not even totally sure what the first comment really means.This year or next year either way they go and it's clear where they go. None of them want to be at UT or any other school but they all want to be in the NBA 100%. Not much of a decision and no one would fault them for leaving 1 year early. Their choice is no money versus big money.
Not agreeing with you has nothing to do with a lack comprehension. So no, thats not the difference between you and I.Incorrect on the second. If you prefer then allow me to show you the door.

I’m not mad at Coach Barnes at all but this makes plenty sense to me. Hopefully everyone upset can get back on the orange hoops train.Incorrect on the second.
