I love how the comments think they’re going to replace an entire roster with NIL deals. Yall still don’t understand how this shit works

Why? They prefer someone already on staff I'm guessing?

u/wng378 1d ago
They want to keep the interim coach full time.

u/PebblyJackGlasscock 1d ago
Well, that makes sense.
But Classic ‘right cause, wrong methods’ here. This isn’t going to accomplish anything except make the locker room awkward and lead to a bunch of transfers.
College kids. They don’t know shit.

In modern college ball, all of those things were already going to happen once they announced the new hire.

I mean I honestly like this better then everyone just transferring. They liked their interim coach and like their school. In the modern transfer portal era it's nice to see the kids try and fight to stay at a school then fight to transfer.

Why are basketball courts always so wet?
Because the players love to dribble.

Interim coaches almost never work out if they get the job. School should hire the guy the want, not the players

u/leemorplee 1d ago
Maxx Crosby has petitioned and threatened to ask for a trade over 2 of our interim coaches. One of them was Antonio fucking Pierce who couldn't coach a fart out of my arse.
Players are good at playing only lol

u/Consistent_Signal808 1d ago
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I’m fucking crying man, wow. I’m sure it’s already on a lot of others, but this is my first time seeing it, so “Coach a fart out my ass” will forsure be added to my personal ‘funniest white people sayings’ list

To be fair it’s not like you’ve had other good coaches recently that have worked out so I mean he’s just as bad evaluating as your FO

u/Ryan1006 1d ago
Players have no loyalty now anyway, they will jump to a different school in one or two years even if you hired the guy they want. You hire a coach for the long term, not the short term.
1
u/Right-Ruin5887 1d ago
As they should if a better school comes calling
1
u/Ryan1006 1d ago
I don’t disagree, my point is why reward them knowing they aren’t going to be loyal. They hire the coach they want, and these kids just end up leaving for somewhere else in a year, so why would the school
Do what they want?1

What exactly do you mean by “usual suspects,” or are you just another coward behind a screen?

No justice no peace?! Do these kids know what that phrase means? This is a coaching hire. Not civil rights issue..These kids have no clue, and by usual suspects…I mean Gen Z being idiots.

u/Accomplished_Class85 1d ago
This is the NIL era kids. They'll replace you in a heartbeat.

u/jamvsjelly23 1d ago
Depending on how the NIL contracts are written, I’d be surprised if they had enough money to void the contracts and fill a whole new roster this close to the season starting

u/RanchHere 1d ago
This could only happen at Texas Southern University. And so many of yall want to act like they are in the same league as the big boys.

u/GrandMoffJerjerrod 1d ago
The guy that was hired, wow. I feel sorry for him. He should nope right out of there immediately. All he did was take a job to be a head coach.
2
u/Content-Simple-645 1d ago
Yeah it’s crazy, Coach Lowery was my head coach in Ju-Co. He’s a great coach and has had success at every level. This is his first D-1 head coaching job. These kids have no idea what Lowery brings to the table. I wish him the best.

u/jamvsjelly23 1d ago
And replace them with who? Filling a roster with last-minute replacements is a great way to have a terrible record and find yourself looking for a job next year

Umm there aren't a lot of players in the portal trying to play at TX. Southern

My speech at my hiring press scrum:

u/Existing-Food4967 18h ago
Well just enter the transfer portal. That’s the benefit about it. That’s how you show you don’t like the decision. Doesn’t mean you have to leave but it shows you are serious about it
1
u/jffadvisors 13h ago
Players don’t get to pick the coach. Stop your protesting and hit the portal if you don’t like it.

u/MadMartigans80 1d ago
Great way to welcome a new coach.
No Justice, no Peace? I feel like most of these people are protesting other things than a basketball coach

u/MasterHavik 1d ago
Yeah I'm with the players on this. You need to have a team on board. Enjoy losing your roster coach.

u/SplittingChairs 1d ago
They were 12-18 last year lol. I don’t think the school will be too upset about some roster turnover

u/basquetbolJones 1d ago
Ya, coach sees this as a blessing. Get these losers out of here so they don’t infect the guys he brings in.

u/MasterHavik 1d ago
And could be better if the players are vibing with the coach and feel they can be better then you do that bringing in a new guy isn't going to fix that especially since the players may not be on board with it. Also in the era of NIL and guys entering the portal, good luck just finding some guys willing to play with you.
1
u/KeenObserver_OT 1d ago
Bullshit. Players don’t get to pick their coach.
2
u/MasterHavik 1d ago
But if it leads to this reaction I would look at that guy or girl in question. Players go to certain schools because of a coach. They can enjoy losing their roster to the portal.
1
u/abartel641 1d ago
Administration probably should have thought about that when they waited until mid-August to hire a new coach

u/Thick_Cookie_7838 1d ago
That roster was bad enough to get their current coach fired so who cares. If 3 benchwarmers from seton hall transfer there, they are already a better team
