That was harsh, I didn't need to post it. It's still hackneyed though...Don’t chide someone for being a fan and expressing their opinion, that’s bush league.
I thought great,a washed up coach looking for a place to ride it out till retirement,boy was i wrong.I'm sorry coach,keep up the great work.
I was even complaining when he let guys like McGhee, the other one whose name escapes me who went to Iowa State and Mostella leave. Now I see his genius at building team chemistry and allowing the dead wood and bad attitudes to go their own way. Ding ding ding: KasangoI thought he was the perfect hire after Bruce, Cuonzo, and ButterBean left TN's basketball program a blazing pile of poo. Then I fought practically everybody on this board for the next 2 and a half years over the hire and recruiting effort.
Remember the he's earned the right to not head out on the road recruiting comment? So much butt hurt in the BBF over that one. Then there were the complaints that he was throwing his players under the bus after losses.

Mother hen protecting her nephew and reacting to some of the slurs being laid on him when he left. Don't think she really meant any of that, just reaction.I wasn't thrilled when Mostella, Phillips, and Kwe Parker exited. Kasongo's departure didn't bother me. I was sorry to see McGhee leave, but after AD's trashing of CRB I see it was probably best that he's gone.

Speaks a lot about the kind of kids he's recruiting. Don't think you'll see many or even any one and dones. He lays it on the line from the start. You won't be treated special, you'll earn your spot like everyone else and have to be able to handle criticism and hard coaching. I'd lay money, our 5 star James will be more than a 1 year player.IIRC, AD said that Barnes didn't want Jabari to leave. But that was likely partly because he did it in the middle of the season.
I wonder if Tariq Owens and Willie Carmichael regret their decisions.

Wasn't kasongo the only one of his recruits that left? Don't remember on parker. Most were Tyndall's.In defense of the players that left, Barnes was brand new here and the hard coaching was probably difficult to understand. They likely questioned a retread getting hired as well. I know that when I was that age I thought that I knew everything.
