Reader Email – Rick Barnes Is a Lizard
Listen I love taking shots at Rick Barnes any time I get the chance. He jumped ship at Providence after winning the Big East Tournament in ’94 and I’ve lost respect for him ever since. Nobody voluntarily leaves a big time basketball school like Providence. You get fired or you stay there until retirement. I mean he can’t win a big game to save his life, that’s a fact. All the talent and all the recruitment opportunities in Texas and he’s never won a thing. Never knew he was a lizard but there has to be something about him that his players don’t like. I mean have you ever heard a Texas player say “Let’s win this one for coach.” Never heard anyone say that. Listen I’ve been trying to tell anyone who would listen (not many people) how Texas was going to lose to Arizona. Sure they got robbed on the bad 5-second call, but hopefully people paid attention.

hahaha this is great! I thought it was going to be just about how his neck is dark red and scaly while his face is pale and pasty, but he for sure is a lizard after this revelation
What killed him is having Jordan Hamilton call timeout after grabbing the rebound with 15 seconds left.
I don’t know if he instructed his team to do that, but having to inbound under their own basket when you can’t run the baseline was what caused the problems in the first place. If Hamilton just holds the ball he’s going to get fouled and have a chance to ice the game.
The video was the only funny part of this post. Jim shoulda written the post.
since when is providence a big time basketball school?
