I hope Barnes just decides to leave the next morning.

He doesn’t deserve you clowns

Barnes? He can’t play basketball for us .. don’t pull that card lol

Not saying I agree with what he’s saying. But you could make that argument for any head coach… it’s simply a dumb argument

 

[VOLywood]

I refuse to believe that we got handed this bracket and Barnes will yet again fail miserably at it

How you could blame this performance on Barnes is beyond me. He's not on the court missing defensive assignments and shots.

 

[Delmar]

Barnes barnes barnes. 15-2 run. Now he calls an FN timeout.

Well. I was ecstatic that the Vols made to the Sweey 16. Won’t go back on that. Game against Duke was a heck of a coaching job by Barnes. Tonight not so much.

It’s all good. Go Vols.

Barnes isn’t shooting 25% from the field. This is entirely on the players and poor effort.

 

[TennVols12]

Barnes can go to hell. Stand there and watch this slip away and do nothing

Why don’t you go and help?

We just hope we become the ultimate fan like you one day

Mmmm mmmm, love me some mediocrity

 

[TennVols12]

No one is a worse March coach

He is awesome outside of that but when it matters he disappears

Should audition for the a role as the Last Airbender

How about those coaches that don’t make it to the tourney?

Did he recruit the players? Maybe not

 

[TennVols12]

Mmmm mmmm, love me some mediocrity

We’ve never been this type of program, he’s the best we’ve had.

They don’t coach in March. I’m not saying he is the worst coach, I said worst in March

I agree , I’m just saying after every lost most teams blame coaches .. you know ?

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Mmmm mmmm, love me some mediocrity

Do you even know what mediocrity means you goof?

 

[OC VOL FAN]

Why has our best rebounder barely played? When they have killed us on boards.

Rick "Letdown" Barnes

Defense is playing off and the refs sucks but most of Barnes teams are mediocre offenses.

 

[WaywardVol]

FAU is a very athletic team that made adjustments and went zone on Tennessee. They were eventually going to hit threes. Yeah,it's been frustrating,but it's not like they're playing a cupcake. With the flagrant on Uros,the game feels out of reach. Terrible call though. Very frustrating to watch. Got to play through the refs and adapt on offense. Tennessee hasn't.

Oh please. Barnes was given a frigging cake walk to the E8 and crapped the bed. 15-2 run before calling timeout. Same crap different year.

 

[Jxn Vol]

Not having another point guard ready is on him. Also having your number 1 PG being undersized is not optimal. I liked ZZ coming off of the bench and giving a spark.

 

[cjbongoinstructor]

The amount of chances these Barnes teams have had with wide open brackets and yet we turn in these outings, this reminds me of that history repeats itself quote

 

[djohnnyg]

They hit the "Barnes Wall(c)" You knew it was coming. Hey...made it to the sweet 16 at least. Barnes will keep us relevant...but always break our hearts.

 

[GAVol]

The dumbest thread on Volnation returns.

 

[VolCalls]

Can’t believe we are letting this mid major team embarrass us

We’re the mid major team. Not ready for prime time. Same old Barnes.

 

[Pennheel]

It's going to be okay.. I didn't say anything different. I'm actually frustrated about how this game has went,but I'm going to wait until the clock hits zero before I get irritated about it. I get the knee jerk reactions in the moment,but lets wait and see.

 

[zaqhhh]

If we lose this, Barnes has lost to a lower seed in EVERY single tournament he has went to with UT

That has to be intentional

 

[Rocky Top Raby]

****ing free throws. Barnes doesn't do **** as a coach

 

[vol4eva]

Huge choke job from Rick
