and this:
What seems to be missing here is that Barnes, in 20 years, did what the Texas program did in 60 years. If their expectations are so warped, that they expected him to not just be their best coach, to not just have the most success, but to far eclipse what they ever accomplished, they're just a bunch of drooling lunatics.
Neither would I. I don't want to get too giddy here but things sure are lining up. I'm sure we will hear something official soon.
Even when I take my crimson colored glasses off, I still can see the Bama job as having TONS of potential. The right coach could do very, very well in Tuscaloosa. I think all the pieces have come together over the past few years to make this happen. First was the vision of Dr. Witt and Mal Moore, then throw in the SEC network, along with our history in basketball and we are at a point where our basketball program is ready to go where we've never gone before.
Again though, that's not responsive to the critique that he does a poor job of utilizing his teams' talent. When I called your earlier post odd, I meant that it was odd because the arguments you listed out -- which I think are good ones -- weren't really counterpoints to that underperformance critique; they were just defending Barnes's tenure on different grounds.
WSU message boards are saying it was cancelled by the station and not Gregg Marshall. Station said the show was only on the tentative schedule and was never confirmed by the athletic department. It was never place on Coach Marshall's schedule (yeah right).
