let me repeat. there are 2 discusssions

1. some sort of racial/bias motive

2. the merits of his style of coaching

now that 1 has been pretty debunked, the convo is magically sliding into 2. so just for clarity, we all agree that he's not biased towards race, right?

Quite honestly, I don't even think McCoy and Boykin really feel he's racist. That term is overused and misused.

I do believe that he doesn't want anything to do with the players with superegos. That's something he had complete control of while at Oregon. To that I say, that's his preference.

There are beneficial attributes that those ultra-arrogant players can bring to a team. The best coaches identify what motivates those types of players and use it to the team's advantage. They don't just ship them off.

1. Agreed, but I do feel like he may not understand how to cultivate relationships or that he makes an effort to. How some people perceive that is based off their life experiences. I dont think we can lessen others feelings just because it hurts us to say he may not understand the culture of younger people. He doesnt have kids to my knowledge-- that may hurt him as well. If he had young adult kids, then Id be shocked to see him have these type of issues.
