Good:

Stans =Is a nice guy, recruits fairly well, wins a decent # of games, pleasant to the fans and Rowdies, hangs around. Won a lot of games over his career....maybe scheduling, conference strength and longevity? Thanks for the solid 12 yrs.

Stew = Seems to be nice, plays good defense (except tonight), always hits the second of twofree throws, money from three so long as we are either up or down bymore than 10. Hit a lot of threes over his career.....maybe just attempts and minutes played? Thanks for the memories and solid 4 yrs.

Bad:

Stans = Coaching strategy (or lack thereof) often questioned by many. Always selects some borderline retarded or passive player like a Marcus Campbell or Tang Hamilton or Osby to pull off to the side of the court in front of the entire coliseum and chew on their *** good. Doesn't have the nuts to do this to Gary Ervin, Jamont, or Dee....and these players needed it as much or worse than the other three. Inequitable treatment of players, visibly poor coaching,and general lack of respect leads to disharmony on the team. Multiple transfers causes wonder amongst the fanbase. Can't land the big fish, recruiting-wise. Will he have the opportunity to do so in 2011?

Stew = Lack of focus withhorrible turnovers at the worst time. Has trouble when asked to "create",especially at the end of thegame. Awakens from nightmares screaming,"I am not Jamont, I am notJamont.....please give it to Kodi, let Phil shoot it!" Never takes it strong to the basket, always lookingto get fouled, as if he almost misses theshot on purpose.Always on the receiving end of pain (except for the no-call where he pushed that guy out of bounds the other night vs. Auburn.....seriously, that was the first aggressive thing I have seen him do in 4 yrs).

I will not miss Barry Stewart next year. He, Ravern, and Jarvis whether it is their physique, mentality, or whatever had the tendency to pussify our team. Tonight our team needed to punchsomeone in the face, dunk, get a technical, and we were simply limp....flat-footed, flaccid, ineffectual, from thecoaching staff all the way down. Theother team drove into the lane at will from the perimeter, to think Ravern could even begin to match Hopson was foolish, yet no counter with a zone, butthen this is from the genius who allowed Fortson to go for 30 something in a half without making any defensive adjustments. Holy hell.

But, Barry Booker makes far more than an assistant coach. Never happen.
