LeBarrie suspended indefinitely?

[jeffgt14]

Only thing I'm pissed at is he probably only did something that would only get you fired at GT.

EXACTLY!!!!!

I might take you off my sig for that. "Might"

It just pisses me off that the NCAA hasn't finished this.

i think they may be a little bit of building him up though. He is responsible for Devoe and he worked with the guards, but i don't think he is irreplacable. Jose, Haywood, Moore, Sjolund - none of those were DLab recruits. To this point we haven't signed a 4 star player from the state of GA yet, with or without him.

At least we can truly move forward. I'm expecting we hire someone by the Final Four so they are on staff in time for the AAU season.

I’d love to see Korey McCray but he doesn’t fit the well rounded type CJP is probably looking for and I dunno if he’d be interested.

Keelon Lawson?
Jack Murphy?



I wonder if we could pry Brandin Knight from Rutgers. That might be one of my top picks TBH.

If I remember correctly, there were some whispers about McCray for a while about him being dirty.

Whomever they pursue must have a crystal clear reputation. The school will make damn sure of that.

That's why I could easily see them going for the layup hire in someone like Price.

There is no indication Price wants to grind on the recruiting trail. If that is correct, Price should not be hired as a bench assistant.

We just gonna let @Peacone36 get away with that Keelon Lawson reference?

Wearing my tin foil hat, I can surmise the NCAA didn't complete the investigation because if they did - and it was Carter who was the recipient of some largess - then they would have to go after Carter as well and that would mean Duke has an issue. Can't have that in my tin foil world.

Like Red and others I am just pissed it is taking this long for the NCAA to complete something that should be done quickly. It either happened or didn't - and if it did what is the penalty. Not a year in limbo without a "conviction". That sucks.

Right? Sorted through Bagley’s High School transcripts and AAU travelings and got him through the clearing house in 6 days and you cant get through a 36 hour period in which a kid was on campus in 3.5 months?

Damn paywall

 

[Bogey]

I know this scenario is improbable but hoping for win/win: He resigned to open up a temporary position for Mark to act as shooting coach, which O and Ben need, as well as the whole team. O can't hit a pull up 10' footer and Ben been missing his short jumpers. Then when the air clears, Mark resigns and GT brings Labarrie back, with a significant raise.

A few quotes from the article

“He was a big part of everything that we did,” Pastner said. “The way that we do it here, I want everyone to wear multiple hats and to be involved in recruiting and game planning and coaching. My three assistants are going to be involved in all areas of the program.”

“When the season’s completed, I will get with (athletic director) Todd Stansbury and (associate AD) Marvin Lewis and us three will sit and talk and come up with a strategy and a plan (for a full-time replacement),” he said. “We won’t do that until after the season.”

Pastner declined to answer a question about what he knows about the investigation, referring it to athletic department administrators. Still, knowing what he knows about it, Pastner said he would not have a problem recommending LaBarrie for another job.

“Absolutely not,” he said. “Darryl is a fantastic basketball coach, a fantastic recruiter. He’s a very good man.”

My bet is he’s not guilty but much like the out of control prosecutors these days, they string out investigations when they don’t have any evidence in order to ruin your reputation, drive you to bankruptcy, etc in order to get somebody to cop a plea to some sort of trumped up charge.

I hope LaBarrie sues the NCAA. I’m not sure what the charge could be, malfeasance? I hope he’s got a good lawyer and sticks them bastards good. GT then needs to pile on & sue for lost revenue, etc and make the NCAA bleed thru the nose.

 

[gtpi]

can we fans sue the ncaa for this?

You can sue anyone for just about anything. Now if you want to know if you'll win... you won't.

 

[brandon_cox]

Let the NCAA issue its ruling and then rehire him

Sounds like the kind of assistant CJP should hire.

I know my reading comprehension skills have dimished over the years but I didn'tsee anything in your post that wound preclude the scenario from taking place.

So, since we aren't going to hire a new assistant until next year...and we are still paying Hewitt...lets just put Hewitt on the recruiting trail for us. Can't hurt!
