Hamilton Considering Cal, LSU, Virginia
- Thread starter Cy'sMatters
- Start date
Grown ups - that is funny - this board has very few.
Quite a few are simply keyboard tough guys. Their goal for the day is to get in a message board argument with someone they don't know and play tough guy. Their second goal is to start the *** Official Game Day Thread *** before someone else does and are crushed if some other dork beats them to it.
So what ARE you talking about? Using those words and then not backing it up with anything is pathetic...
Well, what we're doing now isn't exactly working, either. We can't keep doing the same thing and expect different results.
The end of the sentence was the back up for the statement:
"when it comes to being pushed to get better."
ie. They have a hard time mentally with being coached. You see it at every where. (Enter helicopter parents)
EDIT: Sorry for the confusion TornadoMan. (a hard time mentally with being coached.) This is not directed at Hamilton or any of the members of the ISU MBB team. Young athletes can have a hard time being coached.

At this point how can anyone continuie to blame the players for leaving? It is an obvious problem with the coaching staff. If it was just a few player here and there then maybe it could be the players but with THIS many dfections. You HAVE to blame the coaching staff. So calling out the players might not be the way to go. We should be calling out the ENTIRE coaching staff.
That's a big charge to make without any substantiation, sorry.
I witnessed several practices from the 2008-09 season, and Ham was always at the top of the list in terms of sheer hustle, and putting into practice (drills, run-throughs, etc.) his coaches' instructions. From what I've heard from this past season, Ham has been the same way.
Hamilton does not have a "a hard time mentally with being coached." What BS.
If you say so...Maybe you can help me.
Why would Ham maintain it had nothing to do with the coaching staff, quote saying homesick, but have a list of schools not close to home?
Maybe because it is in VERY poor taste to rip into the coaching staff. Most people realize that. Also it would just create bigger waves if he were to leave saying that the coaches suck and he hates them and he hates being at ISU. All that would accomplish is making him look like an *** and create even more waves for the school and the program.
My comment was not directed at Hamilton because I have no inside information and frankly don't give a ****. I was only stating what KG had said in direct relation to toughness for the person I quoted. That being said kids do have "a hard time mentally with being coached."
Again, not directed at any of our players because I don't have inside information or access to practices.
If his choice is between lying and throwing his old school and coaches under the bus, then lying seems plausible. It seems that the reason he gave - homesickness - was not entirely accurate.
