It was most definitely Tony Jones decision to move on and pursue other opportunities. He and Bruce have been friends and coworkers for so long that no matter the situation there wouldn't have been much animosity


I hope that is all true. I've heard from some that there was a lot of pressure put on Bruce by compliance and some PTB to have him move on. Their story was compliance didn't like some of his methods and the PTB wanted Chuck as the top assistant. I can't verify any of it but it did come from a few connected people.

I swear if this is true then the PTB can go frick themselves! I'm about fricking sick of the 'good ole boy' mentality that has permeated our athletic department.

From what I understand, in situations like TJones, while we force people out we make sure they are taken care of afterwards with other opportunities in line + other options.


I've always thought about it like a high level business executive who gets asked to leave and severance package is "very generous." Hard to think of it as being "fired" when you are being hooked up with money and other opportunities

Siap but just read New Williams out tonight's, probably 2 weeks. We have the worst luck.

I wouldn't say that's bad luck. I'd say that's just part of the deal when you sign someone that you know has an extensive and storied history of knee problems

The bad luck is that Bryce Brown is out, Tahj is injured and now New is injured


The 2 spot should be one of our deepest positions of scholarship players, and right now we are going to have to move guys from the 3 to the 2 to compensate

Well after watching the last 2 games I guess I was expecting more, but I left with the feeling we aren't there yet.

Don't take too much from exhibition games. Pearl's 2010-11 team lost by double digits to UIndy in an exhibition then went on to make the NCAA Tournament.

So Williams being out is the reason for the 5pt swing? Is there anyone else? I would assume oddsmakers would have already known about Bryce.

Awesome. I looked on the ESPN app on my Xbox one but I didn't see anything there yet, so just checking. Thanks.
