I'm pretty sure she doesn't. My sister is a music major at Iowa State and she told me that Shirley didn't work there anymore because of budget cuts.

I'm more concerned about why I've had 2 posts deleted in this thread, neither of which crossed the line.
We're all really concerned about that. My guess is Shirley Barnes got to one of the mods and flipped him/her.
I wouldn't be so sure of that...

Matty P is a tool, and HB is coming back to UNC. Shirley and Harrison wanted to wait and announce later, so people would talk. Marty beat them to it. Like was posted earlier, if they can't handle this, they are not ready for the NBA. Their crying because one person said he's staying? Get real. Ignore it. And for Matt, he's still in Marty's shadow, but trying his hardest to make MT look bad. Matt is a DB.
that was directed at Matt...but I really wish all three of the drama queens would vanish.
If the Barnes' want to wait to announce things and drag it out, then they should be ready for things like this. That's the way the 24-7 sports media is these days.
If you know what you're going to do, just announce it and get it over with. If you don't, that's totally fine, just come out and say hey I'm still deciding, I'll let you know when I'm ready to announce. These bunker mentality rules the Barnes try to play by aren't going to fly

There's no way this an actual press release. If this was legit it would have been picked up by at least one major site, instead it's only on this site.
Ken Miller forwarded this email from Mrs. Barnes after he emailed to make sure the PR was real:
Ken,
Thank you for checking. Yes, the release did come from me and sorry for spelling Mr. Tirrell's name incorrectly in the closing paragraph.
Sadly Mr. Tirrell gave his opinion as fact which included a decision date. What should be a low key private family decision has turned into a media circus.

good lord.....who gives a ****.
concentrate on your twit war with your soul-mate.
Cause you know, posting this giggles, makes you look awesome.....Oh wait your reputation here was so far down the ******* that nothing would save it.
It's probably not that Tirrell said it. It's all the calls, e-mails, etc. that follow something like that. I'd get sick of all the calls too if I were in her shoes.
And you don't come out and say you're still deciding, unless it's in reaction to calls like that. Isn't that pretty much what this e-mail from Shirley was doing? Saying that they haven't made a decision yet? And that's attention-seeking? Personally, I would think attention-seeking behavior would be to not refute Marty's statements, let the calls keep coming.
Letting the calls keep coming by not refuting Marty: attention-seeking (the more calls, the merrier!)
Randomly saying that you're still deciding (saying it without provocation, for example all of the calls): attention-seeking (making a big deal out of saying absolutely nothing, for no reason).
Refuting Marty because you want to be left alone through this process (within reason): NOT attention-seeking.
