Sure he COULD have done that. But it would be less funny and have less snark. I mean the guy dunked on people for 20 years. Why should yall be exempt?

Keep dunkin' on these fools, Stack. We're fans. We love the fight you bring.

lighten up Francis(es). There is a greater percentage than 5.8% who in our defeatist minds, already have him packed up and gone to Detroit. If he was one of 7 known candidates, that puts his chances at 14.3% of leaving. Throw in the unknown candidates, and your probability goes down.

I myself will admit to being one of those freaking out, especially with the dearth of transfer portal news.

Such is the nature of us self-loathing Vandy fans! :roll:

If he was out the door, why is the Rivera-Torres kid being pursued vs offers from Penn State, TCU, FAU, etc?

And what else about Rivera-Torres?

I think you need to stop taking things so seriously - what he said is no big deal. It’s also not a bad thing that recruits know that Pistons interested in him as a coach.

I think Stack is going to speak his mind and what he thinks is the truth regardless what we think. I think he probably does that behind the scenes as well to the players which may be why we have seen some (Shelby, Stute, Thomas) transfer.

Contrary to some, I think the tweet he sent out is actually good. Starting with beguilement (a real Vanderbilt word) that translated means "distraction." All the talk by the 95% and especially the 5% are distractions. Let us hope he stays and recruits well in the portal. This has become quite the beguilement.

Grantland Rice would be proud.

I hope the answer is "no." He's not here to be the best friend of every sports fan in town. He's here to coach the basketball team and be a good scandal-free representative of Vanderbilt University.

People need to move past the "first world" problems they have like "the coach doesn't know me from Adam but I fear he may not like me." :o :shock:

Um, its the coach (who I root for) who fears that the fans might not like him. There is a small percentage of every fan base in America that does not like their coach.

Your passive-aggressive schtick is getting old. Anybody who disagrees with you about the basketball coach is a racist. Instead of calling them "racist" you call them Archie Bunker or you use some other dog whistle. Just go ahead and say it. As for me, go through every one of my posts. Then apologize. Keyboard warrior.

I would have liked to see a donkey emoji before the clown emoji, though that is a style critique. :mrgreen:
In all seriousness, all this beguilement has me irked.

I can unequivocally say "I AM NOT A BIGOT."

Thanks Coach, point well taken and we’re thrilled to have you.

Now us 5.8% can get to worrying about our lack of transfers.
