OT: TyTy Washington decommits from Creighton

[navery12]

Well. There are gonna be huge consequences to airing the dirty laundry of a locker room out in the media. Should have been handled internally. He is tainted now and it's gonna be nearly impossible to go into living rooms of young black men. I think it's unfair and he made a mistake but allowing this to go public is a program killer.

And I'm sure you'd have no questions if Creighton suspended their coach a week before the BE and NCAA Tournament and refused to publicly say why?

No UConn (yet)

247Sports spoke with a source close to the situation who indicated that programs like Colorado, Dayton, Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Nebraska, Nevada, Pittsburgh, South Carolina, Washington and Washington State have already reached out and more are expected to do so in the very near future.

Wonder if no Big East schools is a coincidence.

Looked like Maryland was close the first time around

Show me where I was against an apology and then you might be on to something. Apologies are always a great idea and that was the right move. Succumbing to the pc-police as if you've been outed a racist is not.

Thanks for shutting down yet another thread.

It's a mindblowingly stupid mistake. Might as well tell the Yeshiva basketball team that they need to stay in the concentration camp and call it a mistake, too.

A "mistake" like this being swept under the rug? This country has a very serious issue with ethnic insensitivity.

 

[6xChamps]

I just don’t know how Creighton can keep him as it’s going to be impossible to recruit. He’ll be getting Kwintin Williams level guys soon.

 

[Dogdeacon]

Why do you folks mad about over-reactions LOVE to magnify every damn thing that happens. This is less than a week old, why not tap the breaks for awhile.

Plus there are basketball games going on and right now Creighton is kicking butt. Why not talk about, I dunno basketball coaches coaching basketball?

 

[uconnever]

This really sucks, hopefully McDermott and staff stay on him and he reconsiders.

LOL

I suppose the demographics of the fanbases have been exposed. Shows right on this board, even. "Oh, it was just a mistake, everyone should get over it."

Cost the school their best recruit ever.

“It would take some real balls to de-commit from Creighton & then come to UConn”

You mean the same D3 #5 ranked Yeshiva, which owns a 35 game win streak, longest in college basketball? Incredibly entertaining team to watch, with a 6’6 PG who got Burger Boy consideration out of L.A. and will play pro ball somewhere.

 

[Goatmeat]

🤣 how does this not have more likes?!!!

The last time I heard this song was at a Bar/Bat Mitzfah in the early 90s. I can’t imagine the younger individuals on this board even get the reference.

Meyers Leonard is a liar for saying he didn't know what his "mistake" was about.

 

[gtcam]

we can lock this thread
PLEASE

 

[mauconnfan]

This thread is interesting leading into our first BE tourney game in a while.

 

[brasssbonanzaa]

Hoping somehow we can get involved.

We don't need another guard, use the scholarship elsewhere.

You've gotten yourself pretty worked up about an incident about which you have no direct knowledge, and then proceeded to judge fanbases, including this one.

Tell us you've never said anything that didn't come out the right way or that you've never used a wrong phrase or words. Or, did you lose a job because of something stupid/inappropriate you once said and want your "pound of flesh" from McDermott?
(Oh, there goes my job with Yeshiva)

McDermott has been there a long time and had lots of players go through his program. If he's not Mike Rice, no pattern is evident and Creighton accepted an apology as the remedy for something he said, what qualifies you to demand more?

This is a great country, full of caring and forgiving people, but not all are as perfect as you seem to have anointed yourself.

 

[Waquoit]

No AAC teams?

I’d say we could use more common decency and kindness to one another, yes. That works both ways, including taking an apology at face value instead of reading into somebody’s mind and inducting them.

You hit it on the head. This is an ego thing...an eating the apple from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil thing...a searching for purpose thing.

I must have missed it. Did Butch welcome McDermott to the Racism Hall of Fame?

You don't need to be a mind reader.

I 100% believe our ancestors were what you call "black". Does that answer your questions? All races are genetic mutations that have origins in what people refer to as "black". Tight curls, dark skin, etc.

I see no value in racism or sexism. I've learned on my own that It's flat out stupidity. Sorry if you do think everyone is bigoted in some way.

 

[Adios]

By the way, some of you are way misperceiving me and my words. I couldn't care to have any animosity towards McDermott. He's forgiven in my egomanical world. But he does have a job that involves a lot of people he offended.

For me, nothing personal, all professional. Those of you who are ironically judging me can feel free to look in the mirror.

How can someone not see value in racism or sexism? And it certainly isn't just stupidity.

People perpetuate racism and sexism because it benefits them. Not every racist is a good old boy with 3 teeth and a 70 IQ. The trult pernicious racists are the conservative moderates with the intelligence to try to rationalize themselves out of racism.

Exactly. Boosts their own imaginary egos.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

All the 247 guys point Washington to Kentucky, including three "locks":

 

[UConNick]

After the Hickman decommit, I thought they were the trendy pick for Marcus Carr.

Still sucks for Creighton. Probs a struggle for them next year.

damn shame for the BE and jays fans
