Ray Mears converted to an up tempo style several years before he retired. The shot clock was implemented several years after he retired. Not likely he had anything to do with itCollege basketball invented the 45 second shot clock because of Ray Mears. His teams held the ball as long as they could as they just played keep away from the other team.
And too bad this game is on a Saturday night, cuz this is the night most folks around Ktown take a bath and get all lathered up.
Thought that was Dean Smith’s Four Corners Offense inspired?College basketball invented the 45 second shot clock because of Ray Mears. His teams held the ball as long as they could as they just played keep away from the other team.

Yeah!The fans won't be on the field playing. I understand fans can have an impact, but nobody on the team has any connections to kiffin. I doubt our feelings about him have any effect on how our team plays. Jmo

Again, they went up tempo several years before he retired. Do you remember that era? Not being a Debbie downer. Just stating a fact about his change in style of play. UT averaged well over 80 pts/game for the last several years of his tenureOK Debbie Downer - of course I know that the 45 second shot clock happened after he left (1983 to be exact) but, if you ever watched one of his games, I am confident that his strategy was part of the impetus for the change. Watching underwater chess matches was more exciting.

Dean Smiths four corner offense probably led to shot clock! Most boring ball you ever saw. Old mossbacks called it real basketball.

Correct. Mears was a great coach, adapting to the players and the era, just like Saban has done. He is one of those coaches who could take another coaches players and beat that coach with his own players.Again, they went up tempo several years before he retired. Do you remember that era?

In an interview this week, Alontae said essentially that he knew who Kiffin was as an OC for Bama and he knew the fans had feelings one way or the other but that the opposing coach wasn’t really a motivator for the team.The fans won't be on the field playing.

Better watch what you say about Kiffen in front of some of our fans. They worse than the Volgaters.Yeah!
And not only that, but the shouts that burst from the lungs of the fans will deafen the players on the field equally well regardless of whether they include the words "boo Ole Miss!" or "screw Lane Kiffin!"
Whatever floats the Vols fandom boat. We just need to be loud about it.
Go Vols!
I hope somebody throws a Coke icee on his big smug fat head
