Thank you......... Park was a great addition and we are still friends on FB. He needed to move and there was nothing wrong with the relationship between him and Spoon. Spoon is one GREAT lady to work with according to everyone she has been associated with - players and coaches.
And it gets quiet...........
Anyway, I can't make it to the Tennessee Tech game, but will be there cheering Spoon and our Techsters on against lsu on the 29th! Go Techsters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU MAY hear me from several states away as well!!!! These girls are working HARD as well as Spoon and her staff! I WILL NOT have negative comments to make here about ANY of them EVER! They ARE human, and they DO make mistakes! I STAND behind them thru THICK and THIN! BUT DO CHEER LOUD!!!!!

It didn't get quiet. I said what I said and stand by it. You see it as a ridiculous claim that has no foundation. I see 90% of your predictions as hyperbole and nonsense. You think I'm saying things that influence recruits in a negative fashion. I think you present pictures of the program that are as misleading as any posts on this board. We see things differently. Keep cheering. The program needs people like you. I participate my way, you participate yours. Move on.
He complains a lot and shows up when we lose.
FFA, I don't have anything against you, but I asked you to back up your claim in a private message. You haven't done that. There is was no problem between Coach P. and Spoon. I know this for a fact - or, at least, from Coach P. He has done nothing but cheer for Spoon and the Techsters since he left. I hate getting into these battles with you, but you won't let it go.
Please continue to push for change, if that is your wish. I don't care and you wouldn't care if I did. Just don't bring up things that are not true. It hurts our program and puts down a great alumni that is celebrated by our fans, players, and recruits. PM me if you have information that I am unaware of....... I am pretty aware, though, of what goes on with the Techsters.
Wow. You "don't have anything against me." Why would you? Is that supposed to make me feel better or something? I'm a bit lost on your "i'm going to ignore all negative posts" and then responding to them all, and then calling those of us who question the direction of the program "doubters" and then yelling and typing in all caps after a win (even a desperate win) in some not-so-subtle attempt to rub it in our faces. Perhaps because the Techsters beat one of the worst teams in the nation we should stop pointing out obvious red flags (in my opinion, and shared by others on here)? Seriously dude, you say I won't let it go? Uh, how about pointing out something that isn't obvious? Of course I don't let it go. You take the freakin' bait so damned easily. Just put me on your ignore list. It only takes a couple of clicks. Perhaps your BBB experience would be better if I were ignored. I'm just sayin'.
And yes, I do not question that you are 'pretty aware' of what goes on with the Techsters. EVERYONE is aware of that. That is one area where we agree. But opinions are just that, opinions. I won't change yours, you won't change mine. And if anyone is putting ANY weight into my words and opinions in a basketball forum posting then they should stop now. THIS IS SPORT, not real world. I don't put any weight into your words when you tell us how talented the team will be, how fast they will be, how they will break into the top 25 by January yet you state those things as fact. I could be wrong about Park and Spoon's working relationship. And for YOUR sake, I'll go as far as to say that if HE says there are no issues, then perhaps I am wrong. That said, I wouldn't expect him to be trashing her to you even if my opinion is accurate.
Final thought: If my opinion on this forum is damaging to the school or reputation of the program, then the program is in far deeper trouble than anyone could have possibly imagined.
Aren’t we all fortunate that we have a Board like this to post our opinions on!
I have to wonder though if the same negative posters about TSpoon were the same ones bashing Coach Dykes earlier in the year????
Also, how many of these posters actually go to the games and watch TSpoon coaching?
She has graduated every student that she has had in her program and recruiting from the money schools is getting tougher than ever, and now they have pay and play, it’s going to be even harder to get the top talent to come here to LaTech!
She stated that she would be back in the NCAA’s this year, that might be a long shot but if anyone can get us there it is Coach TSpoon!
The chemistry of this team has yet to develop but I for one believe it will come around and when it does maybe some of the negative folks will all have something to ran and rave about here!
And yes, I consider myself one of the sixth person on the Techster team because my season tickets prove that and you wan’t catch me missing a home game period!
This world is full of different types of people some that see the bright side of things and those that see the Dark side; thank God we all have the chance to express our opinions!
Even I do admit I can’t wait for Lulu to be in a Techster uniform here!
