Caleb Grill has been dismissed from team

[Yellow Snow]

Ok, and you guys continue to support the biggest trainwreck on college basktball right now. Dude from Alabama is an accessory to murder and is fine but obviously Grill is too much drama for this coaching staff to handle.

Like I said. Quit watching or caring for that matter. Save us from your blather. It would be good for us and you as well. You seem to be a bit unhinged.

 

[NoCreativity]

THEN STOP WATCHING dammit

I will!!! Next game I'll watch is November 2023, done with this fragile team right now, waste of the last month. Now, we are just kicking out the best players for who knows what.

 

[MyNameEhJeff]

Well ****. Kind of the last person I'd expect especially with how long he's been with TJ... Definitely seemed different mentally as of late.

You know what they say, don’t bite the hand that feeds you.

 

[CRCySpy]

well ****. assuming he was gonna return next year as well, this huge for next year as well. He likely would have led the team in minutes, perimeter defense, and 3 point shooting.

That's what the portal is for. I trust TJ.

 

[AllInForISU]

Lol, jfc, **** this team and this season. Flush it all down and start again next year. No desire at all to watch this trainwreck continue.

Cyclone Fanatic most negative fan is back for more after claiming he stopped watching 3,401,520 times this year.

 

[MyNameEhJeff]

What the heck? Seems like a bit of an overreaction doesn’t it? Obviously don’t know the full story but wow

Edit: this team has first round exit written all over it

Not an overreaction if he was a cancer in the locker room and his teammates wanted him gone

 

[RustShack]

I will!!! Next game I'll watch is November 2023, done with this fragile team right now, waste of the last month. Now, we are just kicking out the best players for who knows what.

Yeah, I’m sure they kicked him off for no reason. Idiot.

 

[Yellow Snow]

So it's a deal. No more posts out of you until November? Deal? Yes or no.

Some know for what…your assumptions aren’t it though

 

[CyCloned]

There was obviously something going on with Grill. He has been a hot head for the last month, and that is just what we are seeing on the court. Who knows what it going on in practice or at school.

 

[Sarge_Slaughter_the_Hawks]

I have it in the strictest confidence that what happened is that Grill came to practice eating a box of Count Chocula and refused to put it away while practicing. When TJ said he couldn't snack on Count Chocula during the Big 12 tournament Grill told TJ that TJ never had the makings of a championship coach. And that's that.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Well, that's disappointing, but perhaps the conduct that we've noticed on the floor isn't only happening on the floor. I wish him the best and hope he gets it sorted out. Maybe it was causing friction within the team and this will help them rally?

Unless it’s real bad I hate this. It’s March 1 and the kid has played injured for a month. Get through the year and then have a discussion about what the future looks like.

Exactly! These guys played the season with the hopes of a tourney run. I don’t think there is any doubt there will be more shakeups/transfers after this season concludes. Staff has already erased the marker board for 22/23.

 

[HFCS]

I make a point to not be overly critical of players/coaches but the reaction and meaning change of this thread title is proof all fans really just cheer for laundry.

 

[mjhavlo76]

Caleb Grill’s alright. Big games from him could be coming soon with a little rest.

I’m going to bump this. That’s not going to happen..

 

[NoCreativity]

Maybe I wouldn't be so no negative if we weren't losing 10 out of 13 while this coaching staff doesn't even try to make adjustments and just covertly dismisses out best player for no reason.

That’s not necessarily a bad thing. We are the least talented team in the conference. Finally some big 12 caliber athletes coming in next year.

I wrote down page 17 because I'm sure when I wake up in the morning I'll have 200 pages to catch up on.

There's only two reasons I can think of for why this would be done now versus the far easier route of him not playing and leaving after the season.

1. He did something that they are getting out in front of (this seems unlikely to me, but always a possibility in situations like this).
2. It is locker room/relationships/attitude related and it was done now to try and salvage the rest of the season. We have all seen that something has felt off about the team for the better part of a month, I don't tend to think the blame could ever be put on one individual, but this could be an action to try and remove some of the issue and reset the remaining group.

My guess is #2, Jones said something after OU game in a postgame locker room interview about guys worried about shooting too much instead of spreading the ball- something like that. idk what was meant by that, but it caught my ear. My thought on this downward spiral would seem to happen from the inside about something going on with a player/s.
I hope he is ok and the team can bounce back and enjoy playing again.

#2 is close-ish. I’ll say it again, don’t bite the hand that feeds you. (Read between the lines)
