Bolton is now officially in Portal as expected.
- Thread starter JCloned
- Start date
Seems to me you're in the "semantics" category. Go for it if that's the argument/detail you want to purse.
I think it was less of a vote, and more that TJ had individual meetings with members of the team and Bolton’s name kept getting brought up.
Robinson, Byars, Pollard etc would all have been aware of anything going on in the program.
If you are allowing those competing for positions and minutes to make personnel decisions, those considerations may be in part why they vote someone out
I think TJ would’ve met with them as well. This was far more simplistic than giving the team a check yes or no card with players names on a list.
Because Jeremy said he was "voted off the island", although I doubt he meant it to be taken literally.
Better not say I **** myself on the 17th green yesterday and ruined my round then.
So logically we can conclude that either 1) TJ went rogue, ignored the staff, and booted the 3rd Team All Big 12 guard to appease the rest of the (not very good) team or, 2) the staff was on board with the change, too.
Obviously he's having frank discussions with players about their roles previously, what they see as their future roles, and overall what they think of team chemistry other players, etc.
Getting information from players on the culture, and using that to craft the conversation with Rasir is not "players making personnel decisions."
I think people are jumping to conclusions a bit based on his statement. He could've meant the decision was made for him when Prohm was let go. Or it could've meant he talked to TJ, and their view on what Rasir's role should be next year were too different to reconcile. Or it could be that feedback TJ got from other players regarding player leadership required changes Rasir didn't want to make. Or, it could've been after talking to the assistants and other players TJ flat out said he thought it best if they part ways.
When coaches leave, players transfer. It's just the way it is, and doesn't mean anybody is a bad guy. A lot of guys commit to a coach more than a school.
You “think” or you “know”?
Why do you care? You don't "know" anything about the situation but it hasn't stopped you from making comments full of speculative criticism.
It's unfortunate that Jeremy used the words that he did. It gave the negativity seekers something to latch onto. Maybe he was just trying to simplify the concept but this is the result of saying something like that.
I’m trying to use common sense in thinking that TJ did not fully put the future of Bolton’s career in the hands of teenagers / young adults.
Thinking that TJ took their words and then instantly said “well alrighty I’ll go tell Rasir he’s off the team” is ridiculous.
It's nice to get rumors on message boards, but that's all it is. It's not news from an official source or a first hand account of the situation. Unfortunately some can't be adults about this and put this information in its proper context because they are so focused on their own agendas. In other words, this is why we can't have nice things.
Staying on the island is fine. The problem is that JP won’t pay for an extra day of hotel rooms before they leave so they have to hang out in the lobby for like 6 hours.
I have to be honest, I really like the word nefarious...have for years...well done
