How dumb. You are confusing some sort of misguided geographical economic disparity with the silly pissing contests between the area boys catholic high schools. I live in St. Peters. Across Mexico rd from me is a subdivision of double wides. Meanwhile 63034 in north county is the top ten richest zip code in the state. For over a year Walsh has been subject to some rather vicious rumors starting from other catholic boys schools. He's been attacked in games by other teams and their parents. Most of this stems from him not going to the "right" catholic boys school. Now we have posters calling Vianney "Cobra Kai." The rest of the MCC has head hunted Walsh the entire time he's been in HS. Maybe he's not an A10 level player but i think if he played for CBC, DeSmet, or SLUH you'd be singing a different tune about him.

Nice. I was too young for that. Screaming Trees was never able to translate their live shows to recordings. If they had they would have been the most popular band of the era. Better live sound than any Seattle band. RIP Mark Lanegan.

While the science on this is fairly new, it appears trees do scream in response to stress. It is just a frequency we are unable to hear.

This stuff is the ultimate St. Louis nonsense. There is nothing wrong with Vianney or the Vianney basketball team. Coach Walsh is hugely respected in the area. I see no backlash when a team from DeSmet or CBC do the same things. The catholic HSs usually act terribly during games. It was much better in the 90s, when the North County schools like mine didn't have all their athletes stolen by those schools. We went into those schools and taught the spoiled rich boys some humility. And their daddy's would never be brave enough to come out of the stands and fight us.

The big level boosters did not like the Coleman hire. After his first season they held a tip off club meeting as a season review. Boosters called out Coleman in public and he didn't mince words. He was fired in less than 48 hours after that.

Tate is probably the best type of "this local guy" that we have had. Most of our staffs have had one version or another, an STL connection that everyone in town respects. What tangible results have we gotten from it? On the whole not much. No 4 or 5 stars are coming here no matter how much everyone local loves our coach. So there is a limit to the love for Coach Tate. In a reduced role we can deal with it, as an Associate HC, probably not getting our ROI in that.

Tate in a reduced role is an asset to the program.

Zyree will score 2000 points in college somewhere.

There are several reasons.

Ford's staff quit contacting locals a couple months after Hughes and Thames came on.

Goodwin's contract with Washington was voided when the Nets released him. The Grizzlies signed him to a 10 day contract then signed him to a two way contract for the remainder of the season. Goodwin will be a restricted free agent at the end of the season because he has less than 4 years in the league. Under this scenario the Grizzlies can make him a qualifying offer which Goodwin could accept or give up his rights. If a qualifying offer is made Goodwin can get another offer from another team but the Grizzlies are allowed to match it. If the Grizzlies gave up their rights to Goodwin he would then be an unrestricted free agent.

The Lakers got more than an extra minute of gameplay in the 3rd quarter allowing them to take a lead.

For today let's forget our hatred of the Dayton Flyers and their fans and instead mourn the loss of their greatest coach, Don Donoher. Donoher was a 3 year letter winner for Dayton Basketball in the early 50s. He is the all time winningest Dayton HC with 437 wins. His 67 team lost to UCLA in the National title game. He went to 2 elite eights, 5 Sweet Sixteens, 9 NCAA tournaments & seven trips to the NIT. His record in the Arch Baron Cup 1-0 as a player. 6-6 as a coach. Donoher was a mentor to a generation of midwestern coaches and has a prolific coaching tree. He was a mentor and dear friend to Rick Majerus and his advice was instrumental in Coach Majerus coming to Saint Louis.

The guy who the staff wouldn't play the year before? The guy who was perpetually injured and was only available a handful of games? Also the guy the staff wasn't going to bring back under any circumstance? You are the one glossing over details. If Ford was still the coach Parker would be another miss.

Again those guys were recruited 6-8 years ago. Ford's staff had zero contact with locals the last 18 months. Can't reward Tate with a staff position when he's been sleeping on job for a year +.
