Like I said before, Revolutions usually fail.

Give me a coach with some fire and some passion ANY DAY. I like that about Tyndall. Martin is too mellow to be a good basketball coach. How many great coaches are mellow? I think zero.

I don't want to come off as a Counzo lover, I would have never fired Pearl in the first place, I would have brought him back in a second. But running off an african american coach after going to the sweet sixteen, the public perception in the rest of the country that were a bunch of racists and the administration isn't supportive of the basketball program isn't worth saving 200 thousand dollars.

Politically correct BS. Anyone who believes that simply has a chip on their shoulder or is a complete idiot. Pearl brought energy to the program and Cuonzo did not. Pearl won his way into the tournament each year. Cuonzo played his way in one time. So fans want excitement over the alternative of watching paint dry is considered racist? Ridiculous.

This isn't a revolution. A previous head coach looked at the offer granted him by his employer and decided to head elsewhere. A new coach has been hired. It simply isn't as dramatic as OP wishes to portray it.

I would strongly recommend OP pump the brakes on the histrionics. Coach Tyndall as of today was still in the process of putting his staff together.

You appear to be declaring disaster less than a week into the man's tenure. I believe he knows exactly what he's doing, as one would expect from a coach with long-term, quality experience in his profession.

That's nice but that doesn't change what the majority of the country thinks of the south.

So isn't the irony that the south is labeled as being heavily entrenched in backwards stereotypes by a swath of people who are heavily relying on stereotyping?

It's like someone who is intolerant of intolerance. Really? Doesn't being open minded (the opposite of intolerance) require that you accept the opinions of others who don't agree with you?

We live in an age where being viewed as racist is worse than actually being racist, and where tolerance only requires the view espoused by those that claim to be tolerant.

Tl; dr.

I don't change my behavior to satisfy someone who can't even consider the flaw in their own ideology.
