Rick Pitino, Hall of Fame coach, said the following when Jones was suspended earlier this week.

"...he could play the next game if he does what the assistant coaches tell him to do. If he doesn't he sits again. And I don't care if he sits the whole season, to tell you the truth. I could care less. Because if he doesn't do the right things and act like a Louisville man, he can move on and try to go to Belgium somewhere."

So Pitino sits players for games and/or kicks them off the team?

Huh.

That inexperienced Louisville coach must not know that you just let the highly rated players play. You can't sit them for not performing to standards, they were highly rated.

Clearly he is a coach that will never win a National Championship........

In many ways Ners and Texas Western are similar, but one big difference is that Ners will defend himself to the end, whereas TW is nowhere to be seen when he is criticized. Most of this thread is making fun of TW and his absurd opinion of Wojo, but it is unlikely he will respond. He will just wait for an opportunity in another thread to sneak a comment about what an awful person Wojo is and then move on to another and another. At least Ners will try to explain his position (although unfortunately over and over again). TW can't explain a thing and doesn't even try.

Pakuni · « **Reply #20 on:** February 22, 2015, 06:29:39 PM »

Buzz did go after Jones out of JUCO. At least to the extent that Jones let him.

tower912 · « **Reply #28 on:** February 23, 2015, 05:47:53 AM »

Maybe Jones was unhappy with how he was being treated by the coach and was therefore justified to fire up any shot he wanted when he did get on the floor. Maybe the coach, with an axe to grind and something to prove to the administration, did not take well to this.

WarriorPride68 · « **Reply #29 on:** February 23, 2015, 05:58:47 AM »

Here is the money quote...

"I'm not worried about anything that anybody has to say about me," Jones said after the Miami game. "I came a long way, I'm telling you, from (throwing) garbage cans in gyms to wanting to fight every game to keeping it inside. I know how to manage it by just playing hard."

No, not at all. Gr8one is actually a former player with some killer rebounding stats from the 1950s; a good guy overall but many find him somewhat stubborn. I am curious as to who knows TW's handle over there? Ner[d] s and he make this board near-unreadable, and TW appears to be pushing some agenda the liked of which I'm uncertain.
