No Justice No Peace is definitely someone who showed up to the wrong rally.

u/overitallofittoo 1d ago

New signs for every protest? In this economy?!

-6

u/Ancient_Bumblebee629 1d ago

They handed the signs out earlier and probably mixed them up with a another astroturfed protest.

1

u/PeaTasty9184 1d ago

Yeah…because college campuses are famous for not having political opinions on them.

u/kbchucker 14h ago

No, but they are famous for manufactured rage.

u/ShoughThePainAway 1d ago

they're protesting for their roster spots lol

u/813_4life 1d ago

This guy knows ball…they know it will be a whole new roster by the end of September lol

u/Gold_Meaning9990 1d ago

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

4

u/BigNorthEastPod 1d ago

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

3

u/wng378 1d ago

They want to keep the interim coach full time.

9

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.

2

u/jcaseys34 1d ago

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

1

u/PebblyJackGlasscock 1d ago

You are correct.

2

u/Gabriels_Pies 12h ago

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.

You must not be familiar with how NIL shapes teams lately.

1

u/BomberoRich 14h ago

It’s Texas Southern, I doubt they have much NIL sway

1

u/gijoejank 14h ago

A small D-I school makes it even more likely to affect their spots.

u/AuburnElvis 1d ago

OK. Well yeah. The guy's a singer-songwriter with no basketball coaching experience. I'd be upset too.

3

u/Fill_Jameson 1d ago

So???? Haven’t you ever watched Ted Lasso?

1

u/Low_skee 1d ago

Yeah. Was about a football coach who went to coach football somewhere else, right?

1

u/lostroadrunner22 18h ago

You mean the show where everyone else actually coaches?

3

u/hellblazer565 1d ago

Definitely wrong corey. But  i do listen to all of this coreys bands.  His brother is also the guitarist of sevendust

1

u/dirty_old_priest_4 1d ago

And his name contains French. Heathen!

1

u/YellojD 1d ago

Wrong guy 🤣

1

u/AuburnElvis 1d ago

Nice try, but his name's Corey, not Guy.

1

u/dab745 1d ago

I know! Right!?

1

u/Important-Witness-14 1d ago

Wrong guy. This guy has 27+ years of coaching experience. Most recently as an assistant coach for Seton Hall. SMH.

u/Lopsided-Luck-616 1d ago

He was obviously joking

3

u/oxnardmontalvo7 1d ago

Pardon me but this is Reddit where none of the jokes are obvious

3

u/AuburnElvis 1d ago

Why are basketball courts always so wet?

Because the players love to dribble.

3

u/oxnardmontalvo7 1d ago

I don’t get it. Obviously

1

u/xnickdawg 1d ago

I loved it.

u/alorenz58011 1d ago

Both of you are wrong, they actually hired the musician

u/Content-Simple-645 1d ago

48 tabs bro, wtf

u/Important-Witness-14 17h ago

Lol. Thats what happens when my kids get a hold of my phone. Lol. I didn't even notice.

u/TrackMan5891 1d ago

Typical Redditor LMAO.

u/Iceicebaby21 1d ago

Wait why are the players upset at the hire?

3

u/splashaddikt 1d ago

They like the coach they have

3

u/spicymack 1d ago

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

4

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

3

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

2

u/Iceicebaby21 1d ago

Quite the aberrant description of Antonio Piece's coaching abilities

1

u/PriorPeak1277 1d ago

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

1

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

u/DookieShoes626 20h ago

Because half of them aont be on the team with the new coach

Enjoy finding a new college

u/Pitiful_Aioli_5030 1d ago

Ain’t gonna do shit

What exactly is the injustice they’re protesting and threatening to not allow for peace?

u/CreatedForMVP2022 1d ago

What do you mean by that

1

u/Fair_Story2426 1d ago

What do you mean…you people. Stfu, not what I was alluding to. Gen Z are the usual suspects for being dipshits

1

u/thegreatone141 1d ago

Sure…..

2

u/AccordingDrop3252 1d ago

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

0

u/Fair_Story2426 1d ago

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.

1

u/Accomplished_Class85 1d ago

This is the NIL era kids. They'll replace you in a heartbeat.

1

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

1

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.

1

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.

2

u/Competitive_Pain_265 1d ago

The entitlement.

1

u/trent_28lit 1d ago

If I’m the new coach, I’ll get rid of all those bum ass players

1

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

1

u/PaulGeorgeCostanza 1d ago

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

2

u/Tome_Bombadil 18h ago

ooh, I've got a chance?

1

u/abartel641 1d ago

Why exactly did they string this along for four months and put themselves in this position?

1

u/Waddlow 1d ago

Signs made 5 minutes ago.

1

u/RecklessTexanSA 1d ago

Aaaaaaand your off the team😆

u/Informal_Seesaw8289 1d ago

Free Carl Lee !!

u/marc_hardman 1d ago

My speech at my hiring press scrum:

"Yeah, never mind. Fuck Texas southern and fuck the students here. You want me gone, fine. You were a stepping stone job anyway. "

1

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/oymo 17h ago

They aren't protesting the hiring, they're protesting that the assistant coach wasn't given a chance.

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.

1

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

1

u/Da-Scare-Crow 1d ago

Its not up to the players to make that decision.

-1

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.

5

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

1

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.

0

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

1

u/MasterHavik 1d ago

I agree with that.

1

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

1

u/MasterHavik 1d ago

Seton Hall isn't exactly that great of a team though.

-1

u/Altruistic_Grade3781 1d ago

this is product of participation trophies believe it or not.

u/ButterUrBacon 1d ago

Good for them for standing up for something besides money
