The whole problem with the whole Buzz situation was he didn't want Jeronne to out-do anybody on that team until his sophomore year. And that shouldn't matter - if he's going to help you, he's going to help you. They didn't want to play the game right, so now we're going to watch them lose every game. That's just how it works.
-
Also sadly it sounds like Tim is making the choice of where to go for Jerrone:
Tim Maymon, who was scheduled to speak with representatives from Arkansas and UCLA on Wednesday, said he's trying to help his son find a program where he'll be happy.
-
That picture says it all.
-
You hear stories about parents of athletes, but it is hard for me to believe that there are people who are like this. I am no longer mad about this situation. I only feel sadness on a few levels.
-
That picture says it all.
At least JMay looks happy.

Looks like TOS is going to have to "Clear the Air" again

Agreed. What a sad, sad situation. I honestly can't believe any coach would want the forthcoming obstructions and distractions, because it will happen eventually. It should make for some interesting follow-ups this time next year.
I was really hoping that Maymon would be the PF beast we needed in the worst way, but now I only hope that Maymon one day gets away from the beast known as his father.
-
It should say something when you are meeting with the father and not the player.
-
Just sad. I feel for the kid. I really do.

I haven't been to that board for a long time, but I guess I need to be reminded why every so often. The word lame simply doesn't do it justice.
-
Sad, small-minded, vindictive response which speaks for itself. Feel sorry for the player, though.
-
I wish I could watch every game. ;)
Man they are lucky, must have the DirectTV sports pack.
-
Hands down my favorite article of the year.
Thanks Tim, you are who we all thought you were, and now you are proving it beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Lol - I hadn't seen that scout thread. Ah, good old IWB, "clearing the air" with a PR story that had the rough edges removed so that both MU and the Maymons could have been happy. Unfortunately, TM just can't keep his trap shut.
-
The problem for Tiny Tim now is his kid likely will be an underachiever. The old man is putting so much pressure on his son. Pathetic. Jeronne is likely to end up at a second tier school because most coaches will steer clear of the circus. Maymon is not good enough to warrant dealing with the father.
-
Wow! The quotes from TM are just incredible. And the picture speaks volumes as well. For JMay's sake I was hoping the speculation about TM's behavior was overblown. Guess not.
Maybe they should skip the aggrivation of college, wait a few months and declare for he draft. Those NBA coaches know how to use a player right.
-
glad we don't have anything to do with TM anymore. A scandal waiting to happen for any team willing to hook up long term with these two.
-
Can't we fold this thread into the thread about the women with the big rack? Let's just keep all the boobs on the same thread.
-
Well, time to move on. I look forward to the future recruits. See Ya!
-
Hmmm...
I've tried to take a lot of the "Tim Maymon legend" with a grain of salt.
A lot of things get blown out of proportion these days. He's simply a father looking out for his son. He's a little too public about it, but I figured he wasn't so bad.
However, this article, and specifically these quotes really illustrate that Tim doesn't have an accurate view of his son or college basketball:
""We'll discuss what are their plans for Jeronne," Tim Maymon said. "We're not doing another Buzz issue. The whole problem with the whole Buzz situation was he didn't want Jeronne to out-do anybody on that team until his sophomore year. And that shouldn't matter - if he's going to help you, he's going to help you.
"They didn't want to play the game right, so now we're going to watch them lose every game. That's just how it works.
"You don't bring a kid in and not use him the way he's supposed to be used. So this kid has left the state of Wisconsin as one of the premier players in the state. "
Good luck to the next coach that takes on this project.
I love Jeronne's game, but I'm not sure he's going to get a good chance to develop with his father so heavily involved.
-
And, as my parents used to say, "good riddance to bad rubbish!" (meaning the father, not the son.)
-
There is absolutely no chance that UCLA would offer him a scholarship. Drew Gordon left UCLA midseason under very similar circumstances.
There is no way that Howland would take him.
Pure hype by Tim.
-
Let's see him play side by side with Christopherson at Iowa State. What a tandem!
-

Speaking of which, where is he going?
-
I didn't realize "playing the game the right way" was defined as making sure one player and his father were happy with his minutes and shot attempts.
Tim Maymon obviously has no concept of what winning basketball begins with. On a side note, is there anyone who can convince Jeronne to get a restraining order on his dad... just for his own good.
-

University of New Mexico.

Should be obvious to everyone now that the Maymons were asked to leave MU.

Correct - my clearing the air post was not meant to explain what happened, but to point out that there were some pretty bad things out there, everywhere, that were not true. So, I went on record and explained that they were not true. Nice to see guys like Rocky Warrior over at MU Scoop taking shots at me for posting what I did. Funny, I don't recall ever taking any shots at him online.
Not even sure where Rocky was doing that.
-
Guy just never helps his case when he speaks. It'd be great for Jeronne to man up and speak publicly about this issue but that won't happen until his father is comforted by another school's pillow.
That list of schools is interesting. Not a lot of character floating in the Arkansas program. Frank Martin is a Huggy clone (and was booted out of Florida high schools for his hijinks) with his reclamation projects. And then UCLA, who if they are truly considering adding Tim Maymon must be very, very desperate during their rebuild.

Is this like the childhood game where you connect two cans with a piece of string and try to hear what the other person is saying?
-

Agreed. That should have been obvious to everyone quite a while ago.

Just wait long enough
Scorpion's nature revealed
good bye, good riddance

I think this guy took a direct shot at me. lj854
The people over there drive me nuts - my new year's resolution is to stop reading that board altogether.
-
Tim Maymon is a complete horse's ass who is dying to become unemployed and live off his son's basketball talents. Good riddance to this whack job.
-

Not entirely true. They roughly said “Jeronne needs be playing the three. If he isn’t, we’ll take him out of Marquette”. To which Buzz responded “OK, take him out.”
Please note that this is a synapse of what happened and not a direct word for word transcript.
-
Tim may be be "retired" now.
-
Who is Tim implying that Buzz didn't want Jeronne to "Out do"?
Butler?
Hayward?
C'mon now, really?!
I only mention those 2, due to where on the floor they spend a lot of time combined with the minutes they get.
-
I just had to chuckle at the UCLA talk. Can anyone here imagine Jeronne Maymon playing SG/SF and attempting to play defense on the perimeter for Ben Howland?
-
Holy crap, what a scumbag.
-
Just out of curiousity, is there a Mrs. Maymon? I just wonder what she thinks about all of this.
-
This is like watching a train wreck happening. the poor kid it is obviously not all about him
-
Hey Tim did you happen to watch the Georgetown game!

I hate to admit it, but I thought the exact same thing after Lazar hit the late free throws.

I was wondering about this too ?-(
-
I was wondering about this too ?-(
I was more so wondering if that mentally challenged father realized that his son could have started and played significant minutes on a team that just beat a top 15 team
Also, that same son could have made an even bigger name for himself by helping MU beat #6 and #8 teams in the land- not saying we woulda def won with him, but we could have
Also, maybe it crossed his mind that had those things have happened his son would be starting on a top 15 team himself, with a legit shot to blossom into a better and better player and get BE and nationwide recognition as a freshman
Way to go Timmy, instead of all that youve got him hanging out by you in mad town. What an a$$clown
glad i got that off my chest

+1 take a suck o that Timmy!
-
Jeronne wouldn't have been able to put up a shot tonite that wouldn't have been swatted into the upper deck. I think Jeronne was able to improve his 1" vertical to a full 2" due to his work ethic at MU. He should search out a big ten team with that kind of athletism. Call up Tubby or Tommy... Timmy.
-
New Mexico is the "trendy" place to go play.
Steve Alford's got the program turned around and now everyone who feels disenchanted with their regular team wants to transfer there.
I think that's where Drew Gordon is going as well.
Love to see the sh*t hit the fan when Alford bolts for a bigger job. LOL

Don't worry Rocky. Dodds will delete the post as IWB referenced another Marquette website. You'd think he'd know that's a no-no.

Exactly! Wonder if he had the opportunity to talk to the person in the ticket office that be berated...or is he just taking Tim's word for it.
That place is such a circle jerk it's not even funny.
-
I'm a bit confused. "That place" refers to Scout web site? MU ticket office? 'splain, please.

Alford's a slimeball. Google up Pierre Pierce and learn about Alford's role in getting him a second chance while at Iowa.
-
Couldn't agree with you more about Alford. I'm hoping that he'll move from New Mexico to Old Mexico so that we don't have to deal with him anymore as college basketball fans.
-
Any chance we can get someone to goad Timmy into mouthing off about Marquette before every game?

He doesn't seem like he wants to put himself out there in the media for that.
-
This man might be more shameful than media whore Kate Gosselin and what she did to her children, I never thought that was even possible.
-
First of all Tim & Jeronne were on the same page-----they both wanted out-----reason being that when Jeronne was recruited it was apparently understood or misunderstood that he would play #3 & some #4----but found himself at #5 where he was needed. With and Lazar leaving after this year things didn't look like they were going to change next year as far as #3 was concerned----this was an absolute must for them as they have NBA aspirations.
Maymon is a good prospect----as i have mentioned here, he was MU's best rebounder per minute played and was the best passing big MU has recruited in a long time. His shot needs work and therefore kind of a project at #3.

Went down to ABQ over the holidays and caught the TX-Tech v. UNM game and have to say Alford is doing a great job at UNM and the Lobo faithful are very happy with the product on the floor right now (that terrible loss to SDSU not withstanding). And, so far, no real issues off court either.
I think most Lobo fans know that Alford will eventually bolt for a bigger job so I disagree with the notion that any sh*t will hit the fan. Even the Journal sports riders are saying "enjoy him while he's here."
The general feeling is to let the $60M renovation of The Pit happen, enjoy Alford for a few more years, and then move on to the next guy. Maybe even Benford will want to come back. ;)
-
At least JMay looks happy.
Hilarious.

Hello Jon,
Welcome to MUSCOOP! Good luck with the settlement.
-
I'm not into artistic crap or photography, but my impression of the picture from the article is that Jeronne is 'pointing a gun' at his dad. The headline could easily be, "This AHole Put Me In This Position".

Well perhaps JM will realize that he is an adult and cut some ties with dad, tell him to stay at home for the rest of his college career... After he does, 2 days ago, he should rejoin the team and be there at the nova game.
