Tyndall

[Polecat]

Doing a lot with a limited roster this year.  Dude is a very very solid coach. Tennessee has an advantage with him on the sideline. Very few SEC teams can say that about their coach......: :razorback:

[Fayettechill14]

He's doing really well. They are very well coached in their press. They deflected balls and forced turnovers like we want to do in our system.

[ErieHog]

Tyndall is a pretty good coach.  Tennessee, especially early in the year, looked like a mess.  He's done a fantastic job with those kids, and they will be trouble for years to come.

I'd rather have almost any coach in the SEC than Mike Anderson.

That's an interesting position to take. Did you not follow Hog ball from, say, 2002-2011?

[Atlhogfan1]

He did a great job of setting up plays late in the game out of timeouts.  The Vols missed both.  One a layup and the other the 3.  We were beaten on both defensively.  16 turnovers, no good ballhandler, didn't shoot well, -7 in FTA's and a limited roster and still in it at the end. 

[jackflash]

Have to give coach Tyndall credit. He doing a good job

Wonder how well Tyndall will do with a complete team?

Seriously, go back to 4Chan, where 14-year-olds belong.

Exept Rick Ray or Johnny  Jones I'm quite sure.

I can't believe I'm reading a thread giving props to Tyndall.
Pretty good chance we won't have to worry about him very long - Tenner will be forced to fire him after the NCAA gets finished with So. Miss. The self imposed post season ban won't keep the wolves at bay. Considering when he left Morehead St - they were put on NCAA probation for 2 years. May not see him on a basketball sideline for many years.

He's not going to get fired by Tennessee.   So. Miss is going to eat the punishment, for any misconduct he had there-- he's timed his skips out of town well--  and aside from that, he is a very good game coach.

Agreed. We've been outcoached by him twice now. If his roster wasn't Richardson and a bunch of slappies, we'd have 2 losses to Tenner this year

I was reading today that his Tennessee contract allows him to be fired if the school he left gets a Level 1 or Level 2 NCAA violation. Plus good chance the NCAA will label him as a repeat offender which will pretty much force Tenn. to fire him.

[SexyBeast77]

Exept Rick Ray or Johnny  Jones I'm quite sure.

Yes and Anthony Grant. All the rest of the coaches can do stuff like you know, have a half court offense, draw up plays in a timeout, have an effective defensive scheme etc etc.

Except they can't, as they've never labelled him as a primary offender yet.    And all the noise coming from Southern Miss is focusing on the hammer falling on the school, not on Tyndall.

Tyndall accepted full responsibility for the violations at Morehead St. / guess we'll see what comes out of the So. Miss probe - figure his 2 assistants that resigned from Tenner earlier may have something to do with the So. Miss probe.

[TeufelHog]

No doubt.  Props to Tenners coach!  Made the calls, players executed just missed the shots.  Great scripted play at the end for the "3" that was missed.  Have we EVER seen MA and team execute one like that this year?  I can't think of one.

One I can remember was when he called for a clear out for Qualls early in the second half at UGa which got him going. 

I thought the play tonight out of the timeout late where Bell got the 3 look wasn't a good decision with the way Bell is shooting.  Mike looked mad after the play so maybe that wasn't how it was to work. 

[regi]

SO, essentially you want any SEC coach that is not Black? Just to be clear?

Pathetic race baiting.   I didn't mean to include Johnny Jones. LSU's not bad.  I was looking at the standings. You were looking at the skin color.

Name the ones you'd rather have and why?

We have some major shortcomings, but that seems like a ludicrous statement.

[popcornhog]

The standings say Coach Cal is the only one ahead of Mike.

LOL, seriously, you guys really believe that was the play as drawn up? Never ceases to amaze me in our fans quest to dump on our coach they quickly run to give credit to the opposition even if it takes being absurd.

They gave the ball to their best player and gave him the option to make the play going to the basket, it was a great play by their best player, that was NOT some great X and O demonstration as you would like for it to be. Unless you really believe that Tyndall said, I want you to drive towards the basket, they are going to collapse on you, then I want you to do a wrap around pass down the baseline to a shooter who is going to be wide open in the corner.

I can just see it now, if we had loss to Bama the way we won the game our fans would have been screaming what a great play call by Grant to have his guy throw up a shot so their big could tip it in.

[regi]

You accidently included a 15-4 Coach in with the three other Black Coaches assuming they were all at the bottom of the standings? Oh. okay

[popcornhog]

Haha. The haters are ridiculous.

Don't get me wrong -- our half court defense is baffling sometimes. And I wish we'd attack the teeth of the 2-3 zone more consistently, because good things happen when we do.

But we are 16-4, a lock for the tourney, and are actually winning road games. And it's the best start to a season this century!

Should we probably be 18-2? Yes. But for Christ's sake people, it's not all bad.

Per Tyndall, that is not how the play was set up or called, his point guard read the defense and improvised.

Anyone with any sense should have known this,  then again there's always the agenda that has to be met.

[azhog10]

Richardson is a stud and Madden continued to turn the game over to Tenner. CMA did a solid job, for whatever reason Tenner's porous defense gives us fits.

If you want to criticize Anderson for something, it is not having a better PG situation in his 4th season. Madden is up and down, and Beard is a year away. It could be better, but 16-4, 5-2 in a very improved league and solidly in the tourney after 20 games, is not bad, that is just the truth. Fans have a hard time stripping away the emotion I guess.

Tyndall didn't get the memo.

Madden made some big plays splitting the ad and hitting a clutch 3ball late.

This is true. A lot of the sports talk here in Knoxville is how they will have to get rid of him if he is proven guilty.

There's so many other directions I can go but I'll go this way, what is your expectations of this team, how do you expect us to finish?

[89ALUM]

Then you are a fool and a terrible judge of coaching ability.

[lefty08]

Tyndall is a cheater, no better than coach cal, who cares how well he can coach. Guys like that get theirs in the end, as Kentucky will likely find out. Proud programs like UK should never sell their souls for championships, shows how far down they thought they were

[azhog10]

Madden made some big plays splitting the ad and hitting a clutch 3ball late.

He did, but he also had a turnover that gave Tenner a chance to tie. He is literally the definition of "take the good with the bad". I also don't understand in what world does Portis and Harris think it's a good idea to try to go block a layup and leave open a guy to take the only shot that can tie the ball game instead of giving up the layup.

[azhog10]

No doubt.  Props to Tenners coach!  Made the calls, players executed just missed the shots.  Great scripted play at the end for the "3" that was missed.  Have we EVER seen MA and team execute one like that this year?  I can't think of one.

LMAO! If you think that was how the play was drawn up. it definitely wasn't drawn up that way, but heck of a play by  Richardson to read the defense.

Good Grief!!!  UK has been the biggest best cheater in BB since Adolph Rupp!  The only time they were exposed was when Dwayne Casey sent a few thousand in cash to Chris Mills in an Airborne package & it busted open en route.

I think you can dump on CMA either way, if that is the goal.  Either the other coach drew up a good play that his team executed well....or our defense, protecting a 3 point lead, inexplicably collapsed as the ball went inside, leaving a shooter with a great look at the tying shot. 

That said, I'm sure in the TO prior to that sequence, CMA told the team to not leave the shooters.  I imagine he was frustrated to see Tennessee wind up with such a good look in that situation.

[snookybobhog]

Just wanna put my Two cents in.....don't know anything bout Tyndall's past, I just know he's putting a heck of a product on the floor in a short amount of time! Super impressed with his teams discipline and fundamentals! Got nothing to do with race! Just stating the facts man! Love Mike, hoping he can get it done! WPS!

[Fayettechill14]

Pathetic race baiting.   I didn't mean to include Johnny Jones. LSU's not bad.  I was looking at the standings. You were looking at the skin color.

No you weren't. Here are the SEC standings right now:

1. Kentucky (John Calipari)
t-2. Arkansas (Mike Anderson)
t-2. Georgia (Mark Fox)
t-2. Texas A&M (Billy Kennedy)
5. LSU (Johnny Jones)
t-6. Tennessee (Donnie Tyndall)
t-6. Florida (Billy Donovan)
8. Ole Miss (Andy Kennedy)
9. Alabama (Anthony Grant)
10. Mississippi State (Rick Ray)
11. Auburn (Bruce Pearl)
t-12. South Carolina (Frank Martin)
t-12. Missouri (Kim Anderson)
14. Vanderbilt (Kevin Stallings)

The bolded coaches are the ones you identified that you wouldn't want. When it was pointed out to you that all of those coaches are the SEC's black coaches, you defended it saying you were "only looking at the standings," even though the 4 worst teams in the conference are actually coached by white guys.

C'mon guys, we're better than this.

Yeah but you are forgetting one thing, those bottom 4 coach "fundamentally sound" basketball. Especially Frank Martin! Man we would be lucky to have him. Those strong fundamentals have gotten him a 10-32 record in conference and a 1-5 record this year.

Too funny!  You don't even have to give them a shovel anymore.  They'll furnish it themselves and blissfully dig away.
