Well forget about Oats

[Alsacs]

What’s with the bullying of this guy?

so wackos aaare deep diving in order to prove he’s posted under two handles.

jesus that’s pathetic

So basically you want to fight me.
Okay.
Just do it next time.
The poster you are defending literally ruins NUMEROUS threads with garbage posts.
Everyone wouldn’t be uniting here if the poster didn’t do his routine.
He trolls the MLB thread, he trolls the NBA thread, he trolls numerous other threads.

My god just talk down to me next time instead of this post.
OrangeDW has had to deal with this guy more than anyone.
He isn’t me. He isn’t an ahole you don’t like me.

Good job and yeah I know you just want to take a shot at me. Anyone else does that post you just stay quiet.

You have no clue what happened to the previous handle of the poster but talk down to “us”.

Let's get back to talking about Oats and whether we want him or not. Thanks.

 

[Alsacs]

Go just wants to attack me.
His post is directed at me, he won’t admit it but it is.

I usually wouldn’t just go right there but if he actually understood the constant troll crap spewed he wouldn’t have made the post. Instead he wanted a shot at me plain and simple.
I already defended CuseRunner to BR but Go wanted a shot at me.

 

[orange79]

Uh oh.

Looks like "someone" got a lecture.

 

[81South]

Looks like a timeout would be well served for a few folks on here.

MAYBE YOU NEED THE TIMEOUT! EVER THINK OF THAT?

But it has to be at a low level D-1 job. Unless of course some higher D-1 school is dumb enough to hire him first.

lemoyne was hyperbole. What’s sad is that some truly believe gmac is on the short list of successors to replace JB.

 

[FrancoPizza]

That was not me. I swear it. Idk what to tell u. God forbid people want Hopkins to get the call first. My thinking is we know he can recruit he proved it here as an assistant and as HC at UW. Hes run into a down time after successful first two seasons back to back pac coach of the year. I maintain hes not happy out there his wife is from here so she prob wants to come home his kids grew up here they prob want to come home this is all weighing on him plus a downward turn at the UW program.

I hope it’s true. Hop deserves his chance.

What is even sadder, he actually is. Not that I think he will get it

 

[Sherman20]

He’s a youngish coach on the national stage and was just being annoyingly provocative and thought he was being real by speaking frankly and off the cuff. I’m fine with it. All these guys have big egos. Appreciate that he acknowledged and took responsibility for his foolishness and had the stones to actually call K and apologize.

When GMAC becomes HC he will scour the board for all anti GMAC proponents. When that day comes you’ll wish you supported his glorious reign

 

[OrangeDW]

See if you can somehow follow this scatterbrained series of thoughts/questions:

Is it ok if:
-I don’t really like K or Oats
-I like Boeheim
-I think it was out of line of Oats but still in a way kinda enjoyed the pot-stirring anyway
-I respect Boeheim sticking up for his friend even if I don’t like said friend
-I think ultimately Oats’ apology was the right thing to do
-And while I think it’s fair to wonder about K’s intentions, I’m not necessarily sold that he actually wants to duck things when his team struggles...
-but I get a kick out of the narrative anyway (because it’s Duke)?

Do I gotta pick a side and get all fired up here? Or can I just enjoy this kinda trashy guilty pleasure show while having no real vested interest?

Nate Oats said the quiet part out loud.
K is full of chit with his comments.
JB is always going to defend friends and when he can do zingers as well.

It doesn’t mean JB is right or Oats was wrong.
The establishment college basketball media aren’t going to side with Oats.

If K had Zion, Barrett, Reddish I believe he doesn’t make those comments.
This opinion is up to the individual.

 

[MadNY3]

I’m guessing Oats career will be on pause for a bit. Hope he likes Bama.

If he wins, he can do whatever he wants.

Good for him for being unafraid.

When GMac takes over and raids Syracusefan for recruiting advice, you better have the right answers when he comes at you for your posting history.

I have always been a Gmac Loyalist. I stand by his side. Unlike the Cuserunners of the board

Get off the fence

You don’t get how business works.
It’s okay.

he only knows how to foist car payments on suckers that can't afford them

 

[Col. Bleep]

It appears that pointing out a coach's comments suddenly may be inappropriate.
Nevertheless...the most disturbing comments in this K-Oats situation come from Cal.
The sad thing is he was probably telling the truth (in the last line):

Jim Boeheim rips Alabama coach Nate Oats for questioning Coach K's motives in COVID-19 discussion

The Syracuse coach didn't appreciate his colleague getting ripped by a younger coach.

www.yahoo.com

If he walked back his comment he should be called for traveling:

John Calipari walks back claim that players can jump to front of line at hospital for COVID-19 treatment

Yeah, that's not how that works.

Crimson Tide down by 10 to Furman at the half - for those scoring at home.

Furman has very little basketball history but Frank Selvy played there as did Clyde Mayes. According to Wiki, Cuse played them in the NCAAT in the early 70's and only won by one.

 

[Orangezoo]

Well this is an entertaining thread. When does it hit the OT board so the bell officially rings?

 

[Orangezoo]

I am also certain that Nate Oats and Coach K have both posted in this thread and somewhere Buzz Williams is dancing while reading it.
