December 12, 201114 yr And there it is. Defense Did you miss the part about "stupid comment." It was an unwise/stupid/silly/thoughtless thing to say. It's equally embarrassing to yell "fine him."
December 12, 201114 yr Did you miss the part about "stupid comment." It was an unwise/stupid/silly/thoughtless thing to say. It's equally embarrassing to yell "fine him." Why? Not disagreeing...I just want to hear some justification.
December 13, 201114 yr Stupid comments. His and yours. You don't fine a coach for that. Perfect example of us fans wanting to nail anyone and everyone for anything stupid they say. So you think it's okay for the coach of a college basketball team to not only condone, but praise guys for throwing down?
December 13, 201114 yr So you think it's okay for the coach of a college basketball team to not only condone, but praise guys for throwing down? He's not their coach, it would be different if it were his players. He should have said have thought about what he was saying, but fining him would be over the top.
December 13, 201114 yr He's not their coach, it would be different if it were his players. He should have said have thought about what he was saying, but fining him would be over the top. I never said he should be fired, but if we're going to hold players accountable for their actions, I would think we'd want to hold coaches accountable as well. I think a fine could very well be in coach Miller's future
December 13, 201114 yr Were I a college basketball coach, I would probably want to stay as far away from Xavier and Cincinnati as possible right now. Both teams severely damaged their school's reputations with Saturday's ugly brawl, and both schools are currently dealing with the massive fallout and public relations nightmares that were always sure to follow. (We'll have reaction to Cincinnati's news conference on the blog soon.) To make matters worse, both schools botched their players' respective punishments. It's a mess. One is best advised to steer clear. Apparently, Sean Miller disagrees. The current Arizona and former Xavier coach spoke out in support of his former players Saturday. From the Arizona Daily Star: "If Cincinnati tries to do what they did (Saturday) they're going to get a fight," Miller said after UA beat Clemson on Saturday. "So I'm proud of those guys." [...] "They have a chance to win it all," Miller said. "It's just such a great story. I'm really proud of those guys and I watch them any time that I can. No one's going to bully those guys." One more comment, again from the Daily Star: Miller said he was not surprised Saturday's Xavier-Cincinnati intra-city rivalry game featured a brawl that resulted in eight player suspensions. "Happens every game. I'm proud of those guys, I really am," Miller said of Xavier, his former team. "I would fully expect there to be a fight." http://espn.go.com/blog/collegebasketballnation/post/_/id/41834/sean-miller-leaps-into-xavier-cincy-fray Xavier is not good enough to "win it all". Their front court just isn't good enough. Stop it already!
December 13, 201114 yr So you think it's okay for the coach of a college basketball team to not only condone, but praise guys for throwing down? No, thus the agreement with you that it was a stupid comment. Not rocket science to decipher my feelings here. It's not fine-worthy. Asinine.
December 13, 201114 yr I never said he should be fired, but if we're going to hold players accountable for their actions, I would think we'd want to hold coaches accountable as well. I think a fine could very well be in coach Miller's future Confused I never said any thing about him being fired either???? And I highly doubt it.
December 13, 201114 yr Confused I never said any thing about him being fired either???? Sorry, was on my phone posting that, and misread your post. Apologies.
December 13, 201114 yr Sorry, was on my phone posting that, and misread your post. Apologies. No problem.
December 13, 201114 yr I'm sure your former school really appreciates the positive spin coach. Idiot... GT, I'm listening to 700WLW and it was stated Miller criticized Cronin, however I did not hear any "cuts". You hear anything about this? Agree with you, Miller not only an idiot, he's a moron.
