Didn’t see this posted:

Kennesaw State head coach Antoine Pettway has been named the 2026 Ben Jobe National Coach of the Year after leading the Owls to their first Conference USA tournament title and NCAA Tournament appearance. The award is presented annually to the top minority head coach in Division I men’s basketball.

Kudos … good player, good coach, good guy.

Some people just love to s**t on something nice happening to someone nice.

Yeah it’s not exactly like they just picked someone out of the phone book to give it to, Antoine has done a super job at Kennesaw. If I’m not mistaken it’s the first time they’ve had two winning seasons in a row since they went D1.

And they looked damn good in the tournament. They were more physical in the paint than us, and could actually rebound.

He’s a good package both on the sideline and recruiting. Someone higher up on the food chain is liable to come knocking on his door pretty quickly.

But it does, and Antoine is the kind of guy that makes me glad it does.





Looks like I almost copied a post above mine. It's ok because it's how i feel.

Agreed. It is racist. Diminishes the "accomplishment" by limiting the pool of candidates.

Yeah, yeah. The guy who posts on football message boards about how he is against desegregation laws doesnt understand the value of minority achievement awards. We fricking know dude, take that shite to the poliboard.

At no point have I ever stated I am against desegregation laws.

The irony here, of course, is you're saying this in support of a segregated award.

What a moronic self-own. You leftists don't even listen to yourselves.

I'm not arguing with you about what we both know you have done in the past. I'm also not arguing with you about your dumb arse take on this subject. Take that shite to the poliboard. You dont have the sense to be aware that this isn't the place to proselytize your worldview.

Of course you won't. Instead, you'll lie about something I've never supported while supporting actual segregation in the same breath.

You're an idiot. Maybe take the time to actually confront your beliefs and you won't say something so collosally stupid next time. You didn't even recognize that you were owning yourself.

Yawn. That's dumb bait that I'm not taking. You're a 50-80 year old fat guy in Hoover who spends his time ranting about ignorant political shite on a football board like some 13 year old edgelord.

Take that shite to the poliboard where it belongs.

You're not arguing it because you can't. What you said is there for all to see. There's nothing you can say to dispute your support for a segregated award.

Also, you could spend days looking through my post history and never find me saying I oppose desegregation laws.

You're a liar and an idiot.

Bruh I ain't got anymore shite to do today. If you really want to argue with strangers on the internet, go make a thread on the poliboard and I will happily help you understand why your perspective is stupid, provided that you keep that shite away from this board going forward.

You are the one who brought this discussion to this board. No one asked you to comment, but you piped in to lie about me and support segregation anyway. You don't get to make a comment and then demand others run away when you can't defend it. Defend your statements, or shut up.

Alright, so you want to start fights with strangers online so you go to a board about Alabama sports and start mouthing off about culture war bullshite that you dont understand. You get reminded that this is not the appropriate to do this, and you try over and over again to bait a political arguement, despite there being a board on this very website specifically made for just that. Wild since you already actively participate in that board regularly, but you insist on trying to bait that conversation here. When someone throws a you a bone and offers to have the arguement that you want so bad in the appropriate place you refuse and try to gaslight them into the absurd idea that they brought the political discussion here, despite that person never engaging in it at all outside of saying that this isnt the appropriate place for it.

Wild behavior from someone who has been an adult for 30-50 years already. Learn some decorum.

Offer stands, if it means so much to you to argue with strangers about the merits of this genre of awards, I will happily explain it to you in the appropriate place. Outside of that I'm not engaging in your dumbassery any more.

I think that both Saint and Boz are reasonable people and may have an interest in imposing a board-wide politics ban, so that we could just remove these inappropriate posts. However, I know that Chicken has been pushing new rules to maximize engagement and page-refreshing, and obviously political banter extends threads and in turn makes him money. Given that he provides the infrastructure for the site, that is not unreasonable. Maybe it's worth having that conversation though?
