I don't think the tug is the issue, its when the tug comes to this board
There was a lot of stuff that made people uncomfortable when the Savell shit broke and the whole OKG drama and Pete is a racist[/b]
At the tug you know what you're getting. I don't think people liked it here
Speaking for me I didn't freak out at that whole thing because its good to clear the air
I can respect honest opinions of guys like @NorwegianHusky and @LaMichael_Corleone and agree with some and disagree with others.
This board should have more mutual respect but it has to be done by the posters not by a heavy hand IMO
People are generally uncomfortable talking about race and even more so in our super heated country today. They need to toughen up
It started a long time before that with the whole "fast strategy/slow strategy" thing. Whether you think it has merit or not, it's probably best not to be classifying the recruits into categories by what type of black person they are, and furthermore making the claim that our program is only interested in a certain classification.
You can think that way but posting about it on an open forum that anyone can see, print out, andcsend to recruits is probably not in the best interest of the end goal.
It's not like Pete is reading a rant on here and thinking, "gosh, I better change my approach. Maybe this is something I overlooked." It is, however, extremely likely that an opposing coach is showing that shit to a recruit and saying "look, even their own fans think the coach has a problem with kids like you."
