Poll:Will Donnie get in trouble?

[bleedingTNorange]

at a later date?

Maybe

 

[Rudy123]

Did I miss something? When did we lose in the first round of the NIT last year?

If you recall, Martin's first two season's at U.T. we did not qualify for the NCAA but ended up playing in the N.I.T.

Once the 3rd season started off slowly, the fans assumed that last season would end the same way. He was getting heat from the fans last season, when things started off slowly. " Oh boy here we go again, with another N.I.T. tourney when we have the roster to go to the NCAA " was the general thought.

 

[Rudy123]

Donnie is a better XOs guy. Bruce is a better motivator.

UT has had a couple of 5 star recruits play like 3 stars here over the last few years.

Pearl NEVER had a point guard that he recruited to UT.

That is why Pearl really wanted Aaron Craft to be a Vol, so he could have a point guard.

 

[Rudy123]

What did they do?

The incident with not allowing Martin to use the plane to go on a recruiting trip. Not supporting him.

Also, when Hart was interviewed during the S.E.C. tourney, he did not give Martin a public statement of support. He took the wait and see statement.

Even the players eluded to things that weren't right in Martin's treatment. That is how they took on the "Us against them" attitude during the NCAA.

Calipari says yes.

such bs. I know for a fact there were planes he could use and did use. When you call at the last second, due to poor communication, and expect somebody to drop their current flight plans and fly you across the country, the answer will be no more often than not.
And players alluded. They didn't elude anything except well coached basketball for 2.5 years.

 

[Rudy123]

What in the hell are you talking about? Were you asleep for the entire BB season last year?

Martin took the team to the N.I.T. his first season and we lost to Mercer in the first round.

Martin took the team to the N.I.T. his second season and we beat Savannah State then lost to M.T.S.U.

Those are not the standards set by U.T.; especially with the roster we had last season. In his 3rd season, Martin had the team off to a slow start. We lost games that were close losses. The fans started to feel that we would go to yet another N.I.T. and not qualify for the NCAA.
The thinking was correct UNTIL we played in the S.E.C. and got a couple of wins that put us in the NCAA.

So, going to the N.I.T. was not the standard for the program and when people started to think that last season would be another N.I.T. season, people's attitudes toward the program and Martin began to change.

That is why the team adopted the "Us against Them" attitude at the end of the season. It was plainly visible.....

No he will not....

If anyone is in trouble, it will be the Adminstration at Southern Miss. I don't know many Coaches that have the ability to "give" financial help through the university without Adminstration's approval.

No. If the allegations are true then it makes Tyndall a repeat offender. The NCAA tends to crack down a lot harder on coaches who already have a history of running afoul of the rulebook (see: Kelvin Sampson, Bruce Pearl).

Repeat offender would imply that he has been sanctioned prior. Where and when was he sanctioned?

Comparing Tyndall to Kelvin Sampson (one of the must unethical cheating coaches of all time) and an admitted liar in Bruce Pearl is just inappropriate and irresponsible to say the least......

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

Will Donnie Tyndall get in trouble next Tuesday and punished by the NCAA?

I don't think anything will come from Tuesday unless CDT admits guilt to whatever the AA is asking. I figure they will ask and he will probably deny deny as he is in a situation to have long term future on line.

Without all the facts of the case, who know what will happen, I am sure UT did their background checks, if he had previous "serious" issues. Let it play out and Hart will do the right thing.

Yes I'm well aware of what happened; but what you posted made no sense considering last season.

Plus your other post got the years wrong.

Unfortunately you're right....as much as I liked CCM...he just didn't get it done here like we were used to....and the losses to T A&M and Vandy just about did us in....and we rallied against lesser competition and made it to the tourney....We just seem to mis-remember sometimes....Good man...just not a great coach....

 

[aredfox28]

I didn't vote... and I don't know if he will get in trouble or not, but if he does, he should be let go immediately. . We don't need the NCAA breathing down our necks anymore. .

I'm a big fan and supporter of CDK. But I agree.

I just don't think anything comes from it tho.

I hope not... This has been too much of a headache already

The plane thing was overblown.....he had plenty of planes to go on recruiting trips....I have no idea how hart felt about him but it did seem like Hart would have preferred his own guy.

Yeah the Vandy loss was the worst....they came in talking trash and wearing our state shirts and spanked us with seven guys.

I have to disagree on the plane thing. That was a giant finger thrown by the supposed boosters of the school and the team. Visible perks like loaner planes are one of the ways that the money guys show their approval for all to see, and when they withdraw access to planes --and publicly --they might as well buy a billboard. Sure, there were plenty of other ways for him to get from point A to point B, but IMO, the public disrespect was way over the top.

My guess is that at least part of the reason that the plane pull-back happened was due to a complete breakdown in the relations between the AD and the boosters. When people feel ignored, they're more likely to get outrageous.

I wasn't a fan of Cuonzo-ball. But I don't blame him a bit for leaving. First of all, it just wasn't a great fit between him and UT, and it wasn't ever going to get better, and then secondly, having a bunch of fat old rich guys giving you the finger for all the world to see is pretty hard to ignore and move beyond. JMO IMO FWIW YMMV BBQ ETC
