The reason Hyman gets so much shite is because of his "manage expectations" tone as it relates to basketball. When he basically says that expecting at least a winning conference record and no embarassing nonconference losses at home is unreasonable, it's hard not to see him as completely full of shite and just there to collect a paycheck.

conversely, if Bill Byrne had said less, he wouldn't have been as despised on the way out.

it truly amazes me that you are an A&M graduate and you can't read between the lines of that comment.

That was about as negative as an AD ever gets with a program and is a clear expression of frustration at our boosters. frick, he could have said nothing (he rarely speaks to the press anyway) but instead he took the opportunity to take a shot at boosters that don't give a shite about basketball.

Let me translate for you: "Sorry fans, I know you're mad and this guy sucks, but my hands are tied because the money guys don't give a frick."

Then he followed that up by telling Kennedy to frick off when he asked for more assistant money. It's pretty clear Hyman wants him out and isn't going to spend money on a guy he doesn't want, so he's diverted all hoops money to upgrading Reed. But please, continue to bitch about it.
