Read and acknowledged.

(and nowhere in the quotes does he address coaching or <del>lack of </del>character.)

I am just glad you sit your the judgement throne. Maybe your character should be examined.

First, we havent accomplished anything, youre right, and if youre a Dunton fan it would make no sense for you to be as excited as we are, and thats fine. Alot of us are just happy for something new and different. McKay's energy for this program and his excitement about where the program is headed is what makes us all giddy about Liberty basketball. The fact that Ritchie just about knocks a table over when he finds out 5 people are going to an away game makes it hard for us not to throw a pep rally over our basketball team. Ritchie has brought energy, and we all have bought into it. If RD would have finished higher, fine. To be honest I think Id rather have a lower finish with Ritchie just because of the man he is and how he loves on us. Becuase in reality he is one of us. Hes gonna win games and hes gonna lose games, and hes going to make mistakes. Thats life. I guess its just easier to like a coach who doesnt say eff you to the fans in the stand.

Don't make up LIES to justify your position. RD would NEVER use that language. It is a sad commentary on you.

Being a part of this board is something to experience. Throw Christian ethics out I see. Politics not facts rule the day. Let's settle for "morale" victories.

checkmate and southbeach enough is enough. the dunton stuff is old. it is just really tired. we lost a competitive game on the road. it has nothing to do with RD, so quit comparing. if you can't let things go like an adult, then please dont post stuff to simply stir the pot. and to the anti dunton guys, just don't respond to the crap. and quit making references about what RD would or would not have done. let these guys just melt away PLEASE!!!!

You think thats hearsay????

Ill give you a couple hints - our guy named Lee, sheet for Lee, between 6-8 students yelling "We want Lee" during a timeout. He says something to a player, then looks up sees us and there you go. Not hearsay. It happened. For some reason I do have a feeling there are others who will say RD did not have PineSol in his mouth, but I could be wrong. But I do know what he said, dont challenge me on that.

If I am not mistaken Fumblerooskies started this with a cheapshot. I appreciate your comments but clean up the cheap shots and we can focus on the new era.

this thread should be talking about the positives/negatives about the game not about previous coaches.

Smoothie: "Now kids cut it out. Ardylover get over what happened two years ago, and Mickieliker stop saying bad stuff about Ardylover"
Ardylover: "But he started it dad!!!!! and you didnt even yell at Mikiliker"
