So Who Is The First Portaler?

[hoopsupstate]

While reading all the stuff about the behind the scenes behavior, I thought back to one post game presser by Coach Autry. During the presser Q interrupted Coach. After Q left, Coach looked at the reporters and said something like, see what I had to put up with this year. At the time I thought they were just having some fun. Maybe not.

I thought that whole situation was very disrespectful on Copeland’s part. Red tried to laugh it off. Once again, Copeland trying to bring attention to himself.

Might be a Q. I think the names go: Judah Mintz; Justin Taylor; Quadir (could be Chris Bell since the others have first and last names and Chris Bell would fit in that space but Quadir Copeland wouldn't); and unfortunately the last name might be Chance Westry (looks like it starts with a C and it's too long for Chris Bell).

GET THE WHITEOUT AND ERASERS OUT WE’RE FIGURING THIS OUT

Matt Govendo from Financial Wealth Management. He's a fan who gets air time on the show to promote and do segments, and types in the chat that Gmac is gone. Nothing more.

I'm surprised it didn't gain any traction or discussion here.

Gmac did look completed uninterested on the bench for a good part of the season. dissension within the ranks?

You are picking a really weird hill to die on.

I can see how you would think that. But I think it’s important to be fair to these kids and let people know if I think they are being unfairly described. It’s much more important how a person is as a person compared to as a basketball player. Maybe my sources are wrong, but I think putting both sides out there is the right thing to do.

I mean if you were Q and your coach was refusing to start you over a lesser player that was going to be forced out the second the season ends what incentive do you have to toe the line?

Exactly.. Q is not a guy you can win with.. Im not even sure if things are true but that doesn't sound like someone for Each other...

I really believe peoples eyes can fool them... The more athletic, skilled, fluid player is just average if he doesn't play as teammate, if they have a low court IQ and if they are not coachable and work hard.

I know Q has a low court IQ.. Its bad... hearsay says he isnt coachable.. Thats 2 big things right there

Unless your sources are in the locker room and at practice id get some new sources. And that isnt taking a shot at you personally

Concur. I'm ready for this to be a fully operational battle station.

Then you wish for some of the really foul fans who hammered JT would have kept their message to themselves. Chemistry is so critical. Now he is gone as well

I guess the incentive would be: If you toe the line, you start and you play more minutes. Seems pretty straightforward to me, but what do I know?

 

[Bulldog04]

I hope not. He has so much potential

Red believes in him more than anyone. He knows he could be a good pro

He was not forced out

Fwiw they are and that’s why I feel so strongly about this. It’s not a black-and-white issue. Like many would like to make it. It’s not binary. But I’ll move on from this.

Not sure why you're quoting me. I don't have anything to do with controlling the fans, players, or the program.

He has to change his game completely. He should be watching how Sam Hauser plays. Keeps moving, screening for others, and always being ready to shoot.

You are right. Race has nothing to do with it. Both parties involved will move on to greener pastures and in the end Red will sleep better at night

Yeah, I wouldn't gamble my career on Bell, but hey, like I just posted, I'm just a washed-up professional dog walker on a website.

Man I wasn’t referring to race. I’m talking about a guy can not be a perfect person, but that doesn’t mean he is a horrible person either. Shaking my head.

 

[soyorange]

I love how people are now making ridiculous comments about Copeland's basketball iq bc they've read negative things on here about his attitude.

I didn’t read that as race when you posted it, just so you know.

Many of us did that all year long

Sorry. didnt mean to take it as that. Read it quickly. Hes not a bad person. just isnt gonna fit into what is wanted here. And there is nothing wrong with that

Based on his slow reactions on rebounding and D, I just don't see it, but I'll be rooting him on if he decides to come back.

Oh lord, now we got folks bragging on a msg board about their sources. Things really have gotten bad.

Yup, it would be a complete mentality change.

I'm sure he was joking. And no one here ever said he was a horrible person. Just not a good teammate. Nor easy to coach.
