Irrational Rick Barnes takes (merged)

[GAVol]

Some of y’all are literally too stupid to enjoy a decent basketball program.

 

[BJWeeks]

We will never get past sweet 16 with Barnes as coach. That's a fact

 

[LordVOLdemort]

I love Rick, he’s done a great job here but I’m ready to move on. This team hasn’t changed in the past 5 years. Same stuff different season. No offense, no rebounding, TERRIBLE time management, the only thing we do is play defense. I love a good defense but we have to have offense. It’s how basketball is these days. You can’t win if you can shoot.

Finishing this game with 2 timeouts. He could have stopped the bleeding, but no. 18-2 run. That’s on the coach.

If you’re going to come into this thread, don’t post stupid sh*t like this.

it’s not stupid. He’s a choke job. Love the man and what he’s done here but goodness gracious. It’s gotta be called like it is at this point. I wasn’t expecting to win it all by any means but you can’t choke away such an opportunity. The other times I at least understood to a degree. But this one was just dumb.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Barnes phones it again again but the chumps around here will want to give him a raise and extension.

Who are you going to replace him with genius?

 

[Volfan70]

Why is Mayshack running point ?? I’m absolutely lost on that .. why

Well actually that would be an opinion.

Tennessee was a four seed and made it to the sweet 16. That’s how far four seeds are supposed to advance. Disappointing given that it looked like the bracket had opened up, but this isn’t a “choke job” by any stretch.

How dare you speak so logically!

Love this program and this team but this is a failure. Period.

Finally, somebody with some damn sense

So how far are 9 seeds supposed to get

Wasted an all time great defense on incredibly ****** offense. Key jacking up wild shots and missing with so much time left on the clock. Horrible offensive schemes. 18-2 run with no timeouts. Please Rick, retire and just give us a chance with someone new

This is true.

They beat up a red hot Duke and got embarrassed today at their own game.

Historically we’ve never been good in march so we should accept that moving forward and enjoy having good regular seasons with mediocre tourney results. Right???

It’s disappointing as hell. But the analysis in here is just dumb in most cases.

 

[BP4Prez]

Recruit some offense in the off season. See ya next year.

I’m not sure why any offensive minded player would come here. I like Barnes but this offense has been like this for several years now.

 

[EaglesVols91]

How dare you speak so logically!

Lol logically? How far are 9 seeds supposed to go? It’s Florida Atlantic for Gods sake

 

[tincupUT]

Embarrassing……no other way to view it. At least it save me a some time the next few days now that I don’t have to watch basketball

 

[zaqhhh]

Projected finish by seed versus result under Barnes

2017- Sweet 16, L in R32
2018- Elite 8, L in S16
2020- R32, L in R64
2021- Sweet 16, L in R32
2022- Sweet 16, L in Sweet 16

And we got upset by lower seeds every time!

Please someone defend that result table!

 

[Boston Vol]

So how far are 9 seeds supposed to get

They’re supposed to lose in the first round. Although given their record and metrics during the regular season, they probably should have been closer to a 6-7 seed.

They lost to a 9 seed. Where were they supposed to go? This is non sense

 

[BJWeeks]

Nope Barnes is terrible

 

[GAVol]

So silent after the Duke game and now suddenly everybody is spitting PBR on their screens.
