    When Amos Moses posted Hester was an employment equity hire, I immediately thought about a recent tweet from Dr. Bernice King –


    --Even the statement, “Let’s invite more Black people to the table,” implies ownership of the table and control of who is invited.


    Racism is about power.--



    I don't believe for one second Tech hired a minority (I hate that word) candidate over a more qualified non-minority candidate, but I'm also not naive enough to believe Tech wasn't happy it was able to hire a highly qualified minority candidate it believed is capable of bringing championship basketball to Tech. It remains to be seen what the results will be, but I think it is too early to judge Hester's hire as being a bad one.

    More from the rumor mill. Reportedly, the players who transferred were not interested in things like running, drills, or attending class. If true, don’t let the door hit you in the tookus

    When is the last time we lost a basketball player to grades?

    There were plenty under White, but I don’t seem to recall one under Konkol

    I don’t seem to remember conducting issues with any of our players sans Junior last year

    Sounds more like excuse mongering than anything else

    Like I said, just hearing things from people who usually know more than I.

    My guess is the truth lies somewhere in the middle.

    Cobe was checked out pretty early, now with Konkol.

    The rest were clearly not invested in the program. No buy in. No winning.

    So one side can say they were quitters. The other side can say they were tired of being blamed for every loss when Hester would play small lineups with no inside presence.

    Practice, we talking about practice... Allen Iverson had a thing or two to say about practice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGDBR2L5kzI

    The Hester apologists are reaching for straws...

    And if there were academic issues - wouldn't it fall on the shoulders of the HC and the changes he implemented since we had NO academic issues of consequence under Konkol?

    You are probably right. I don’t really care all that much at this point. I have already written him off. Like you say, if it’s academics, lacking desire to play for him, or lacking in the X’s and O’s, that’s all on the coach anyway.

    This season NSU had 20+ wins and lost in their tourney championship game, just one step from the Big Dance. But they had a first-year head coach, Gipson, and a very young team. Their entire starting lineup and two key subs were underclassmen, all due to return next year. There was excitement and anticipation about next year!

    Then, Gipson accepts a job at his alma mater Austin Peay, and this week the entire starting five entered the portal.

    This crap has ruined college athletics, in all sports, at all levels.

    Agreed! This was Cobe's 4th (?) year in the program and he's always been academically eligible. I don't know how he did in school winter quarter but I bet he'll be eligible to play for Tulsa come Fall.
    Have you considered those Dogs?
