April 8, 201412 yr Careless on Rex's behalf, he should know better. That was not the time nor place for his actions. This continued behavior may result in me having to sic his favorite NKY dentist back on him!
April 8, 201412 yr Rex just posted this article to his website explaining his comments and the Cal situation: Can't Reason With Unreasonable - Cal, The Loud BBN Minority And The Business of Basketball - iRex3.com
April 8, 201412 yr I'll always love Rex Chapman. "I may have dated a black girl or three" :lol2: :lol2:
April 8, 201412 yr We all agree it had no impact on the game since neither players nor coaches knew about the tweet. So then who does that leave that was somehow "impacted?" Us fans? Come on. "The timing was bad." If you hearing that Cal might leave upsets you then there is NO good time to hear it. Why would hearing it last night before the game bother you more than hearing it after the game? You're going to be upset either way. You don't want Cal to leave. Great. I don't either. However, him leaving has zero impact on me being a fan. He could have announced before the game last night that he was leaving afterwards on a jet plane piloted by Dr Jerry Buss and it would not have changed how I enjoyed the game. The reaction Rex has gotten is a sad commentary on too many UK fans. We always say "it's the vocal minority." That "minority" is growing. Sad. We UK fans are a psychologist's dream.

April 8, 201412 yr ^ Because I feel it was all self serving. Wouldn't it be self-serving regardless of when he broke it if no one else was breaking it? It's going to be a story no matter when it's tweeted. I would also ask how he benefits from this?

April 8, 201412 yr He was on the Dan Patrick show for one. I'm sure that was already scheduled prior to this... ESPN was dropping his name all day as well, TV and radio. When's the last time his name was mentioned on national sports radio or tv.

April 8, 201412 yr It was bad timing but I thought it brought up an interesting question as to who would be the next coach. Rex said UK would reach out to Sean Miller first then Shaka Smart. Interesting
April 8, 201412 yr He was on the Dan Patrick show for one. I'm sure that was already scheduled prior to this... So going on the DP show somehow benefits him?
