re: Mizzou AD publicly accused Dawn Staley of promoting an environment of racism & violence

Staley, who brings an aura of general unpleasantness with her wherever she goes, whines about dirty play in the previous matchup. A game her team lost. Shocker. I just can’t figure out what really upset her. She originally stirred the shat. Of course the rematch stinks.

Are you retarded? Because Staley had issues with how Mizzou played she deserved to be slandered by a white AD saying she promoted use of the N-word?

Some of you are straight mental

I do not think I have ever read one page of Women's Basketball news. Hell, I'm on page 5.
Mission Accomplished!

I believe the mizzou coach is telling the truth. no one will believe him, and he will be made the villain...and dawn staley is counting on that.

The Mizzou coach is female, and said we have great fans immediately following the game.

I'm listening now.

It's way over the line that this asshat Mizzou snowflake Mizzou AD personally attacked an SEC coach publicly.

I was at the game right under the basket during the whole incident and was standing near the tunnel where all the racial slurs and spitting was supposed to have occurred ... and it didn't happen.

We had some fans booing them and slapping the barriers above them and I did hear someone yelling "you shouldn't be in the SEC yankees!" but there were no racial slurs or spitting. It's a lie.

This is a lie similar to what McElwain told at UF.

I'm hearing on the radio right now that the NCAA Head of Officiating was at the game.

Also, noting that the media is outraged at these accusations and a lot of them were standing close to all of this after it was going-down ... and all of them are saying this Mizzou AD is lying.

I mean seriously, let's stop and think about it for a moment.

Bunch of white girls from Mizzou, with a blue-eyed blond haired well-known thug ... known for being overtly physical and often dirty, ... they are claiming they were mistreated, called the n-word, spat upon, etc., ... by a legendary black female coach, her players and her fans.

There were 1000s of phones recording, taking pictures, media everywhere, officials everywhere ... and not one iota of proof that any of these accusations are true.

If I had seen any spitting, had heard any racial epitaphs spoken .... I would tell it and apologize for our fans. But it did not happen. It's a McElwain type false narrative and I hope the Mizzou AD pays accordingly.

It's crossing a line. You don't do that in the SEC, you don't publicly and personally attack another coach within your conference in an effort to make national fodder out of something like this given our times in this country ... and you certainly do not go after a legendary coach like Staley who is also our National Women's Olympic Basketball Coach.

Our AD, our program, is now going to have to defend her with vigor .... here comes Tanner.

Tanner is saying he has spoken with Greg Sankey and numerous other officials at the SEC offices and his (Mizzou's AD's) accusations and comments are being addressed.

Tanner is obviously not a happy camper right now. He's being very calculated and reserved with his comments but you can tell, he's not happy about the attacks on Dawn's integrity, our environment at Colonial Life Arena, our fans, etc. He is saying the comments directed at Dawn and our environment are beyond his understanding.

"Only Jim Sterk can explain his reasoning."

He is saying if any of this happened it would be unacceptable ... but they immediately investigated, had "ample staff handing that area in anticipation of it being a heated rivalry game ... a team from the west playing in the east" (wonder where he is going with that) ... and they have been able to find no evidence that any of these things happened."

He said Mizzou is well coached, outstanding team and outstanding players. He says sometimes things are said immediately after games ... and then you move on. He said it is unfortunate that these latest comments were made and it is being dealt with.

He doesn't like passing blame or transferring blame ... our game at Mizzou, it was hostile and passionate and it carried over ... but that's SEC basketball. He said it's unfortunate that now we're still having to talk about this game because of comments made by the Missouri AD on a local radio show in CoMo.

He said he has spoken to Dawn twice in the past 24 hours and she is not happy about these personal attacks on her, her players and our fans. She wants "resolution."

Ray said he is hoping that we soon reach a resolution, he has been in touch with multiple SEC officials and they assure him a resolution will be reached, and then we can move on from this unfortunate situation caused by these unfortunate comments out of Missouri ... and then we're going to move on to basketball.

End of basketball part of interview ... now he's back to being happy and funny and talking about SEC baseball and the upcoming season.
