1. So now one idiotic poster 10 games in to year 1 = the fan base. Ok. I remember him getting blasted for that thread. This is something you do that I'm not sure that you really mean it or you just do it to argue but you have a habit of taking something said by one poster and attributing it to the entire fanbase.

2. 12038 was the attendance. That's packing for NIT. Call it what you want. It was open seating and the lower bowl was full and there were people up top. The crowd was rowdy and it was a great atmosphere. I was there.

Fans were still on board. Call it what you want.

UT hosted a NIT game in 2003 vs Georgetown. The attendance was 3011.

Packing equals half full?

Gotcha. Lulz

So in your opinion being a salesman doesn't make the coach any more popular with the casual fan?

There are plenty of coaches with dry personality that fan bases wouldn't trade for Bruce and definitely CDT....you were saying we need a salesman here and I disagreed and stated that. Winner is all we need.

I'll change my wording if you want. It was a GREAT turnout for an NIT game was it not? The previous time we hosted an NIT game it was against Georgetown and we had 3k people there.

Besides, does it only being 12k make my point invalid? No it doesn't, but that doesn't matter to you.

Were 12k fans showing up to a NIT game because they wanted to boo? No. They were all in for that team and that coach at the time. It was a great crowd. Great atmosphere. I was there and saw it first hand. Go listen to the audiocast from that game on utsports.

12k for a NIT game = GREAT FAN SUPPORT.

But I realize that doesn't fit your agenda here so you go back to one of your oldest tricks. Find a tiny detail in the wording in someone's post and nit pick the crap out of that meaningless minuscule detail. Derail thread and add some smarta$$ "lulz" or a smiley face at the end of the post.

Call it what you want, fans gave Martin support. And they did AFTER the first season even though his team laid a complete egg against an inferior Ole Miss team when it was all on the line and had handled them easily a week prior.

:dance:

rofl lulz lol

I had a feeling you'd take that angle with Thompson and Davis. It is of no fault of Tyndall's that they chose to pursue easier roads elsewhere, so no, he didn't inherit them.

I'll agree that I would take JRich over Tatum, which is why I agreed to an extent with your claim that CDT is inheriting more. Again...barely. Hubbs is only marginally more proven than McRae was at the time, and if you forced me to choose between Tatum, McRae, Maymon, Golden, Kenny Hall, Woolridge, & McBee, or Richardson, Hubbs, Moore, & Reese, then I'm taking that first group 10 times out of 10. Sure, with the benefit of hindsight, Tatum, Hall, & Woolridge didn't exactly pan out, but no one knew that at the time. On paper, Martin had a good deal of talent, a heck of a lot more depth, and the luxury of not having to fill out more than half his roster with leftovers who may or may not ever contribute at an SEC level. Tyndall has four players returning; one all-SEC level player, a highly touted SO, and two roll players who have no defined position, and then attempted to fill out the roster with limited options in short time.

He had a chance. He didn't want to or couldn't. Not the same as two highly rated guys trying to get drafted.

Dude short of coach K or Phil Jackson there's not a coach on the planet that would have retained those guys, after the perception CCM and his team had for UT and its fans after last season. I don't agree with their opinion but it is what it was. IMO

Tyndall had an opportunity to keep Thompson and Davis, he chose not too. He also had an opportunity to keep three 4* recruits on the roster, but chose not to.
So this whole, he had to replace 9 players deal doesn't draw sympathy from me.

If he wanted to Tyndall could've been sitting with...

Reese 3*
Hubbs 5*
Moore 3*
Richardson 3*
Davis 3*
Thompson 3*
Austin 4*
Cornish 4*
Cofer 4*
Turman 3*


He wouldn't only had to fill 3 spots.

When you can speak without getting so emotionally involved you resort to constant embellishment I will then reply :hi: :thumbsup:

I'm not emotional. Maybe "packed" was a bad word. Like I said, you can call it what you want but that was an absolutely great turnout for a NIT game after a disappointing end to the season with that turd of a game we played vs Ole Miss.

Very sold turnout, just not what I would consider "packed", that is all.

Ok. It wasn't "packed." Like I said, that was a poor choice of words. It was a NIT game and there was 12k people there and open seating they did made for a rowdy crowd.

For an NIT game it was as good as you could hope for. Especially after seeing the Ole Miss game with it all on the line and having been to 6 straight tournaments.

That game was a great example of the support Martin still had after year one. I know you don't want to admit he had support but he did.

He definitely had support, funny as you talk about me putting words in people's mouth, I never said he didn't have any support after year 1.

They're no longer all in the same class, so N/A I would think, seems like you're having trouble moving on...

I moved on the day he left...it's the off season with nothing to talk about....I'm just happy we have something to talk about in the basketball forum....funny u didn't mention moving on when u claimed they were four stars....they had already dropped into the thirties on espn before they split up.
