Who wants Floyd and staff gone now?
- Thread starter Tucson_Miner
- Start date
I agree, this coaching job is way better than where he is at now. The only question would be, would all his shortcomings be forgiven, especially when it comes to recruiting kids.
Believe me when I tell you that drinking and coaching basketball at UTEP is nothing new, Kikis and Kings X know that. That's how I handled the last time I went to the Don Haskins Center (alcohol) and I only went to watch and haven't bought season tickets in 5 years. This guy can't even get kicked out with some class
Really? Remember Rab. Floyd is a good coach and he'll get things straightened out.
I wonder what happened to CTF. Did he become basketball stupid overnight? I ask the question because TF has had success, if measured by getting to the NCAA tournament, every where he has been before UTEP. Here are a couple of theories
1. He became damaged goods after the scandal at USC. Other coaches remind prospects of this whenever they are recruiting the same players Utep is recruiting.
2. He has benefited in the past from superior assistant coaches. The assistants he has now are not the caliber of those he had before.
3. UTEP has become much more difficult to recruit to. Barbee had a pipeline to talent rich Memphis. CTF doesn't have the same contacts but he has his own. The quality of players he is going after are not as good as the athletes Barbee pulled from Memphis.
