Seems to think tari and Davenport are gone. Davenport was supposedly really good friends with Harvey. I always enjoy b fox. He always seems to have a good point of view. He did not have many good things to say about brannen.
He kinda hinted that brannen was kind of a jerk. Which I’ve never heard, but if we have a Gregg Marshall situation, let’s find someone else. Obviously, it’s just hard because we don’t know. He didn’t say he was a jerk, but I felt like he wanted to
So it seems my hunch about Brannen maybe validated. Interesting

I don’t understand the Davenport rumor though. He seems least likely to leave

If there were locker room problems I would think this would have surfaced at NKU with a mass exodus. And why would the coaches follow him if they were scared of him?
This one isn’t making a lot of sense
Everyone was scared of Huggins and Cronin. I’m not sure what the issue is here. Cronin would curse your mother in front of a million viewers.
Cronin earned the players respect because they knew he cared about them. He’s 5’5 and could berate a 6’8 muscle ripped dude and yet they always respected him and played hard for him.
Relationships are built off the court.
Brannen is cold dense and lacks empathy. His personality is like the dry eyes commercial guy.
I could read that from him a mile away

We shall see. It’s one thing for players to leave if not happy about playing time. Whole different ballgame if there are personally clashes with half the squad.
It would be strange for players to go out of their way to back a coach in pressers. They would not have to do that unless they were being told to. So something still isn’t adding up.

The rumor was that everyone was scared of him. Not that he didn’t care about them. As I said something is not adding up. If the rumors were that he didn’t seem to care about players...then it would add up.
Coach could have thrown Harvey under a bus but he did the opposite. He could have even went with “no comment”. He said Zach has been through a lot and wishes him well and looks forward to his success wherever he goes. Could be another PR stunt or he could genuinely care. Who knows.

He was delivering meals to players during lock down. Could be a nice PR stunt or maybe he was trying to help his players. IDK. Hard to say. Something is amiss.
I jokingly think he is Greg Marshall reincarnate, even his wife seems on the crazy side. She was quick to talk shit after wins and was quiet after losses.
I think his ego is off the charts huge.
But that’s just my read on him. I don’t know him. But I know for a fact Dou thinks he’s an ******* (he could have made these comments for all we know).
But I’m still not buying the JD transfer thing. I do wonder if he is having a little buyers remorse and wishes he took VTech up on their offer.

All in the “insider” reports are that UC would be absolutely ok if Harvey didn’t come back and they didn’t expect it. So it had nothing to do with Covid. Appeared to be mutual even
I just think John is all analytics and zero soul. Again just my read on him. He’s dryer then the Arizona desert.

So on the coaches show apparently John puts it on himself to “find more joy” in the day to day grind
Hopefully he realizes his dry empathy lacking personality and style is the exact opposite UC needs during a pandemic where these unpaid athletes are sacrificing every thing to play for him who gets to go home to his family every night while they isolate in dorm rooms the size of prison cells.

So how does a guy with zero charisma turn an NKU program around and be successful and then completely lose it at the next stop? I am just saying it’s not all adding up.

Well that didn’t last long. Now you know exactly what the problem is from afar and calling him out about your hunch
Prison cells? Sacrifice everything? Dry Empathy lacking?
At least you aren’t dramatic. Cronin sold the privilege to where the jersey but you are saying the coach should be the one on notice about player sacrifice? Let’s get consistent here

In a year of Covid, where the college experience is generally part of the deal, yes the players are making huge sacrifice.
Imagine being unpaid and some one telling you to self isolate for 25 days. No girls. No parties. No big man on campus, no family. Literally all classes are in your dorm.
And all this sacrifice for a 5 min a game in Dou’s case or 10 min in Harvey’s case.
And if you can’t see that... then you and John are one in the same good luck with that
Listened to the Cincy slangin podcast. Had b fox on it. Interesting. B fox isn’t high on brannen by the way. Made some good points. Seems to think Davenport is gone also
Sorry I’m out of the loop- who is B Fox and what
Is his connection to / knowledge of UC ?
Thanks !

So because of COVID Dou should be playing more? 8.5 for him by the way and over 16 for Harvey. Using real numbers isn’t as dramatic I know. Covid is not the coaches fault and he helped deliver meals to players. I have no idea where you are going with this. What exactly are you proposing here??

Literally no mention ever of Brannen being a dick for 1.5 years then after a 40 pt loss his own staff and players are afraid if him? Wtf sounds like a trash interview. People coming out of the woodwork this week
Hmm you don’t think all the mid season player transfers were because of a reason ?
