re: So who's the next bball coach?

I think his statements about its not my job to graduate players they come here to go to the NBA. I'm pretty sure that one will sink you in just about every college interview, except at Memphis I heard there job is taken.

Let me assure you guys don't want Tubby

Who is racist? The man can coach. His problem was with Frank Broyles "the white haired devil"

No the problem is with that racist Nolan Richardson. He annouces publically that Browles can buyout his contract for something like $500k and then he turns around and sues the school for $8.7 million when it does just that, claiming he was fired because he was black.

quote:

---

In the midst of a mediocre season, Richardson responded to the constant media scrutiny with his own criticism of reporters and fans.

"If they go ahead and pay me my money, they can take this job tomorrow." Richardson went on to say, "I'm glad I don't have to answer to really anyone but myself and my God upstairs. That's the only people I answer to for real. I'll answer to the chancellor and the athletic director, but fans and things of that nature, I don't answer to those people."

With those words went Richardson's job. At a cost of $3 million, Arkansas bought out the last six years of his seven-year contract, citing a termination at convenience of the university clause in his contract and explained that his lost interest and lack of commitment to the university undermined public confidence and support for the program. Richardson filed a lawsuit for wrongful termination based on race and a violation of free speech rights

“I know for a fact that I do not play on the same level as the other coaches at this school play on. I know that. You [the press] know it. And people of my color know it.

When I look at all you people in this room I see no one that looks like me, talks like me, or acts like me. Now, why don’t you recruit. Why don’t the editors recruit like I’m recruiting.

My great-great grandfather came over on the ship, not Nolan Richardson. I did not come over on that ship. So I expect to be treated a little bit different. I’ve earned the right to have the type of season I’m having.

My practices will be closed to the media from this day until I decide to open it back up again - if I ever open it again while I’m still the basketball coach here.

I hope we’re all on the same page. Thank you.”

By now you've probably seen the footage of Richardson's rambling tirade during a press conference in which he, among other things, complained that the media is prejudiced against him because he's African-American, and declared that he was the best thing the university had going for it. "You can run that on every TV station in the country," he said when he was finished. Richardson was paranoid and pompous at the same time, a despot unraveling before our very eyes. The validity of his claim -- that he's judged more harshly than white coaches -- is open to debate, although anyone who is his school's highest-paid coach at more than $1 million per year, has a free country club membership and the use of an SUV at no charge, as Richardson did, hardly needs the NAACP to come to his aid.

From Phil Taylor, a black reporter for SI.com

quote:

It was striking to see how calmly Richardson defended himself against that damning statistic on OTL, compared to the fury with which he railed against the supposed racists who have had the nerve to criticize his coaching and recruiting. His voice was even and measured as he explained that one of the main reasons his players left without diplomas is that so many of them come to school for the sole purpose of (gasp!) improving their basketball skills. Richardson made it sound as if he were the victim yet again, that kids were using his basketball program for their own selfish purposes when he thought they were just as interested in chemistry lab.

This is hypocrisy at its most blatant. Even if everything Richardson accuses the white media of is true, nothing they have done to him has been as damaging as what his program has done to the young African-American men who have come through it. Don't tell me that he's just a basketball coach, that he can't walk every one of his kids to every one of their classes. Coaches make sure every rep their players do in the weight room is documented. They know when their backup power forward's body fat rises or falls a percentage point. They can pay just as close attention to their players' academic progress, and they can recruit only those players they think have a fighting chance to get a diploma. The coaches who really care do exactly that.

If African-American athletes and their families can't depend on coaches of the same skin color to think about the kids as students as well as players, who can they depend on? You would think that with Richardson's obvious mistrust of many whites, he wouldn't have to be asked that question.

I don't want to hear Nolan Richardson complain about some white columnist who says he doesn't recruit as well as he used to. I want to hear him stand up and say that whatever slights he may or may not have received during his tenure at Arkansas don't amount to a hill of beans; that his program's graduation rate for African-American players is obscene, and that as the man, as the black man, who was in charge of that program, he is ashamed of it and embarrassed by it. If he ever brings himself to utter those words, you can run that on every TV station in the country.

you need a calendar.


I don't know if he's waiting for Krzyzewski to retire or nobody is thinking about him, but I'd like to see Wojo get some HC experience. Not here first, but somewhere smaller.

So far we've got:

Tubby Smith - Can't recruit; managed to leave the cupboard bare at Kentucky without cheating.

Tim Floyd - Will knock the program up and leave.

Butch Pierre - He already is the head coach according to some know-it-alls.

Joe Pasternack - .5 years of head coaching experience. :lol:

Bill Self - Since when is this guy on the market? :lol:

Anthony Grant - Good coach. This guy beat Duke. That's pretty bad-arse. Brady could never pull that off. :lol:

Andy Kennedy - Two years of coaching experience and an NIT berth. :lol:

Rob Evans - Over the hill, no fire left. :lol:

Mike Anderson - no reason to leave Mizzou. :lol:

Tom Penders - One Elite Eight when The Simpsons was seven episodes old. :lol:

Sean Miller - Has won the A-10. Good coach.

Quin Snyder - Anybody who hasn't caught on and realized that former assistant coaches of Krzyzewski completely suck as head coaches should stop posting on this forum. :lol:

Steve Wojciechowski - :lol:



Nolan Richardson - Racist. :lol:

Mike McConathy - Maybe.

Jimmy Tillette - Though Samford coaches tend to win conference titles and go to Final Fours at LSU, I doubt this is your man. :lol:

Tom Crean - Nothing wrong with this choice.



I gotta hand it to you, Brady Bashers. In seven years, your list of head coaching candidates has proven you to be, collectively, the worst athletic director I've ever seen! Keep up the good work!

Bring Bobby Knight or John Wooden out of retirement.
