and SJ, I said why I am not going to love him right now. I dont really call it a bias cause a bias doesnt change. I will like him when he does something, but that doesnt mean I dont respect him now. I have respect for him because he is a DI coach, but I dont like anything about him yet because he hasnt done anything. Kevin Keys on the other hand is a bias because chances are thats not going to change, unless he starts working (from a basketball side) and changing things.
Until you sit down with Kevin Keys and actually know what his job is.......Not assume what his job is, you need to shut up!!!!!! You have no cred until you actually know what his job is and if you think it is putting 8,000 flyers on the seats in convo your wrong.. SJ was right on the money with his comments. Keys has made us so much better, there are a lot of things and they mainly have to do with $$$$ that I can't talk about. But consider this, when 3/4 of the AD dept was let go a few years ago who was kept from that group???? Kevin Keys, there was a reason that Dr.Falwell kept him and a reason why JB has kept him because he has done a great job. You seriously think that if he was not doing his job that he would still be here... your crazy....Kevin has a very important position and given were we where two years ago he has done a great job....So yeah I am getting pretty sick and tired of you just bashing when there is no need too...

Thanks, Old Flame.... Makes good sense, and with football, there are so few games in a season that decisions are obviously going to get bumped up

Really? Do we normally release it this early? I thought that was a mid to late summer event.

Its not out of the ordinary to have a schedule out this time of year with the understanding that a game or two might change.

To answer the question posted earlier about ADs and basketball schedules, in general the Hoops coach controls his own schedule. For a new coach to pull out of a tourmament that means big bucks to the athletic dept, he would have to run that by the AD and get his blessing. I am confident RMK has JB's blessing on this. I know the reasoning behind pulling out from Coach McKay himself but no need to share it on this forum. Just know that he is not on a renegade mission to undo a schedule that RD put together. He is not trying to burn bridges but I understand the AA guys being upset. It is difficult to put a schedule together (I know cause I did it a few times) but it is 10 times more difficult to put a tournament together. So when you have a commitment and 5 months before the tournament a couple of teams pull out, then it makes life difficult for the tournament host. It probably costs them a few bucks in ads that may have been printed with the teams names etc. However, RMK had to consider Liberty basketball's best interest and in his judgement the decision to pull out of this thing was the right one. Hopefully AA can replace the teams that pulled out rather quickly which should ease their bitter feelings if that is the right way to describe how they must feel.

Apparently there were very good reasons why this went down and I think many of you will be very pleased when you hear why. Stay tuned.

What would really please me would be to hear that we are hosting our own tournament with mid-major teams from the region like we did for several years in the Meyer era with Pepsi sponsoring it. My sister and her hubby have a time-share in Maui. It's a great place for a vacation. For a basketball tournament........... not so much. :roll:

My information is secondhand. But it should be revealed fairly soon. Suffice it to say this will all make sense.

But i wouldn't break out any hula skirts quite yet. :rainy

He doesn't apologize until someone proves they're worthy of an apology.

Overall, I dont know more than he does, I used to know more about the basketball Dept. cause i worked in there. Overall he knows way more than I'll ever know. but when it came to the topic we were talking about it was he was saying about what I THINK... and no one knows me better than me :D
