Bryce Thompson

Link?

Seeing is believing.

You think a private institution is going to leave verifiable proof of a deal that didn't work out for public consumption?

Seems like hearsay .

I wouldn’t post that info unless I has very very sure of its accuracy.

 

[astonmartin708_rivals]

Not sure about the validity or invalidity of the assertion that the Admin were the ones who nixed the deal, but I would be weary to believe one group's claims over another when one is coaching for his job. Haith could say that he had a deal in place even when he didn't just to improve people's perception of him. Without word from Rod Thompson himself, I don't know who to believe.

Based on the reason the deal was nixed, I have zero doubts it was the Admin. I'm not going to get into that on a message board as it serves zero purpose. I would be happy to discuss off the board btw if you wish.

This is accurate.

I have assumed job security was a big reason things fell through but my thoughts are just conjecture.

 

[astonmartin708_rivals]

I'm guessing Rod wanted a deal worth more than 1 or 2 seasons and TU wouldn't agree.

No. Had nothing to do with money, length of contract, job security, etc...

Well, I would message you, but I don't think I can since I dropped my premium membership.

Water under the bridge now. No use arguing over who knows the real story. It won't get Rod or Bryce here. More importantly we should focus on players and coaches who want to be here.

 

[Original TULSAFAN]

Indeed. Need to lock this discussion down. I could not care any less about the Thompson's.

Moving on...
