Oh the ignorance and denial to accept anyone different.

You forgot to call me racist. Not sure what I said that was ignorant or in denial, but since this obviously isn't the venue for this 'discussion', I'll let it go.

I forgot all about this law once the media quit talking about it a while back. It sucks that the Albany players are being punished for something that they had absolutely nothing to do with. 

Is it really punishment to spare them the embarrassment they would suffer though. I guess maybe there was a slim chance at an upset but really not

You often hear players from lower levels talking s out that one time playing in Assembly Hall or Cameron Indoor. Definitely a lost opportunity, imho.

So his opinion is ignorant because it differs from yours? The irony.

I don't know if I would call it an embarrassment for them. I think that what happened to us last season at Duke was embarrassing, but no one would expect these guys to compete with them. They're missing out on both a cool experience to play in one of the best venues in college basketball and an opportunity to improve by playing against a top team.

This is so dumb imo

Yes it is. Chances are they don't have any idea what the law even means

Why is this dumb? They are standing up for something that they think is wrong. Sports is an awesome platform for voices to be heard loud and clear. I recall a coach by the name of Don Haskins doing some radical things with his basketball team that went against the grain of his day's ignorant norm.

Yes and Indiana refused to play a tournament in Terre Haute because they suggested we leave, I believe,  Bill Garret home, but this is a whole 'nother story. Not the same in any way, shape or form. This isn't about true rights. But, that's enough about that.

Thad Matta regarding transfers:

I like the guys we’ve got in here. We’re going through a transition where we lost three guys. After the Florida game this year, I told our guys two things after the game.

Number one, I’m tired of the B.S. I’m going back to coaching basketball. I’m going back to running this program the way we did when we got here.

The second thing is, some of you are going to transfer. You don’t know it yet, but whatever you do—don’t come see me. Just shoot me a text, because I’m tired of looking at you.

And we got rid of some guys we needed to get rid of. We got rid of problems, but we kept solutions…

I hate Matta, but I hate him a little less after reading that.  That's pretty awesome, although I find it pretty hard to believe Jaquan Lyle wasn't one of the problems, and is a solution.

Will we ever get another Top 10 recruit? At least Top 15... Gordon, Zeller and Vonleh were pretty good...

“(The top players) have a group chat and whenever a player chooses to do that we take notice and we talk about it in our group chat,” Porter said. “It’s just kind of crazy. It’s not a bad option for any of us really. You get to go overseas, you get to develop and you are a pro who is getting paid. For most of us, though, we plan to go to college. Some of us are thinking one year, some of us two years, but most of us are thinking college.”

Michael Porter quote.

Trevon Duval quote.

“A lot of us, we see it and we are like dang, maybe we don’t have to go to college,” Duval said. “Maybe we can do it a different way. A lot of us really want to go to school, though, but we see it and see that it’s possible. I was just playing against Thon last year on the circuit so it’s pretty crazy.”
