Now we know why we opted out of the NIT
- Thread starter ThePunish-EER
- Start date
Iowa story was obviously a smoke screen by Indiana. Don't you remember the Rod story of losing on purpose so he move on to Michigan.
LOL
Not me. I wish him well. I don’t like how he left us after only 1 year, but he left for what he and many others consider a better job. It’s nothing personal. It’s business. WVU will be fine. He didn’t build anything here and his loss is simply based off potential. He had some great wins in the first year, but we didn’t even make the NCAA tournament. And our star player was also a stop gap player transfer who won’t be back because he’s a senior. I wish he had stayed, but I’m not losing any sleep over it.
The only reason not to hire Huggs is if you don't think he can coach well anymore, Wren in particular of course. The bullshit about his radio comment is lame and the dui was overblown. The dude did more for WVU than any other coach in any sport ever, and he's the only legit Hall Of Fame coach who can represent the WVU brand in any sport, so he should be considered fairly, imo.
I knew when we hired Devries this wouldn't be his last stop. I wished he would have been here longer, but I never expected it to be more than 4-5 years. Wren is a basketball guy, and I have faith that he will hire who he feels has the best chance to get the job done.
So why did Baker go with DeVries in the first place? If he is a "basketball guy" then he would have also known that DeVries was a short-term stay guy. He had other candidates out there that could have been here longer. Now we will have to go through an entire roster rebuild AGAIN this summer for the third year in a row.
Baker hired Devries because he felt he had potential. The Wvu basketball job is not the top of the food chain. Anyone who has success here going forward will probably not be here more than 4-5 years and that's just the business reality. You just hope you can land on someone who can elevate your program and ride that pony as long as you can.
Beilein wants no part of coming back here. We were a stepping stone in his coaching story, it was a mutually beneficial relationship at the time but he has never said anything good about us after leaving.
A lot of it is luck. A school like WVU has to find an elite level coach who loves this culture and has no desire to coach at a blueblood that expects winning at the highest levels. . And while it seems normal to us, most outside WV don’t understand it. WV is a special place to us. Not so much to outsiders.
Well, as I guess DeVries taught us, if a coach has a few guys that come with him as a package deal, it’s not that hard to do an entire roster rebuild in one year in this era. For any of the lower seeded teams this weekend it will be interesting to see how many of the players can actually and consistently “play up” to Big XII and higher levels, because those coaches should be our target if we can get a pair of experienced players that can set the tone. I’m not talking about a backup short slow mustached PG for St. Peter’s that starts chucking in a bunch of 3s out of nowhere, I mean guys that genuinely look like they belong when playing higher seeded teams.
We made it to tournament but some UNC AD did this huge conflict of interest maneuver that got him a huge bonus.
But yeah that indiana jobwould be a tough job to turn down. 5 million and all the help you need to recruit players. It's an open account.
DUI's are not overblown. Killing someone is called manslaughter. People on probation for DUI are required to either wear a SCRAM tether or have an interlock device before operating a vehicle. If one misses several tests or is caught driving without an interlock, they are facing a revoking of their probation.
Racism is not lame.
Is 2.10 overblowing?
Yes he did more for WVU than most had. He's hall fame. And I'm glad he got it.
Today's world of basketball has passed him by. The 80's, 90's and early 2000's basketball is over.
He can't handle it because he's set in his own ways and doesn't change. Thank him for his time here. But you're done.
Blah blah blah. Boohoo. Waaaaa..
Get off your high horses little girls. No one cars about your hate except yourself and the rest of the tiny penis club. Have fun with it. Grow a pair...

Huggins said nothing racist, you need to learn to listen..He called the students at Xavier a "bunch of Catholic fags." Neither Catholic or fag has anything to do with racism..stop with the blatant lies you old coot.
It takes a lot of ignorance or hate or both to think Bob huggins is a racist. I mean seriously lol.
If their were any Catholic fags with Xavier then it's racist. It's also a slap in the face to all Catholics. Huggins has proven to be an alcoholic. When he admits to being one then he can truly heal from it.
Catholic child rapist priests are a slap in the face of humanity and all things good in this world. They have Huggins out numbered 1000x over.
Wvu deserves all of this for what they did to him. Some day we will find a coach, but for now we reap what we sow. Apparently karma wasn't done just yet. Hopefully now maybe.

Agreed. He was. He didn't do all of the extra stuff Huggins did to build the new facilities and raise money, but when it came to the Xs and Os he was a better coach imo. Huggins is a great coach but his biggest setback was sticking with the same offense for 30+ years. The game has passed him by mostly but he's still a good enough coach to be above average for a couple few years. I want a better coach but this is all just karma from how I see it. Ppl talk about loyalty but they always come from the "loyalty for me but not for thee" mindset. I'm just reminding them is all lol. Huggs isn't a realistic candidate at this stage of his life and the bball program but I sure would love to let him have his legacy back. He earned it. I have no ill will against the man. He should be involved in some capacity, imo.
This is a perfect example of the type of fan who hates Huggins and Loves him some Neal. He may be the leader of the tiny penis club actually. This is his response to someone saying Huggins should have some type of position with the team as a fundraiser or whatever. I'm sure this moron is a redneck liberal too. The dumbest ones usually are. I'd bet he loves Neal Brown and hates Rich Rod too. I'm tired of my taxes paying for losers like this to eat garbage food so he can weigh down the health care system and cost even more hundreds of thousands for being so unhealthy.

Oh I'm sorry I missed this. Who did Huggins kill again? Can you send me a link to that info. I will gladly redact every positive thing I ever said about Huggs if you can show me where he killed someone drunk driving. Link?
...no it isn't...Catholicism is a form of Christian religion ....fag is a homosexual slur..nope...don't see any race in there..not even one..

Wait.....so you are butthurt over this? The poster who on the OT board slams anyone that doesn't worship your guy? YOU?
One look at Huggins and you can tell he's truly healing from his alcoholism. He looks great for an old fart who self-abused for 50+ years tbh. Living alcohol free is a good way to live. I hope he stays good.
Drinking and driving did him in for "my guy". You don't like that too bad. What if he had killed someone instead of thinking he was in Ohio. Clap that bitch.Wait.....so you are butthurt over this? The poster who on the OT board slams anyone that doesn't worship your guy? YOU?
You know that I'm not talking about Huggs as "your guy". You slam anyone on the OT board for not sharing your thoughts. You are just a whiny bitch that needs to change your tampon more often.
We’re a better job than NC State. Being 3rd fiddle in your own market is as shitty it gets in college.
He could have very easily killed or hurt someone driving a 4000 pound missile. . He made a choice to drive intoxicated.
