LEC, Goldfan83, and I were going to offer to chauffeur him around town if he ever came back. Get him a room at the monthly hotel across from Nighttrips. What could have been . . .
He’s a badass coach. I’m happy for him.
Well at least I learned something from that article. Didn't realize Tarelton St. was making the transition to D1 this year.Just found this article. It calls the hire "shameful". He gives several examples of Billy's bad behavior. Some of them sound like one side of the story. Then he says nothing changed at Ranger, but fails to give any examples.

The story makes Billy sound like Doug Wojcik. I’d still interview him when our next coaching vacancy occurs.Just found this article. It calls the hire "shameful".

I have been a TU season ticket holder since 1980. I have been a fan since 1970. During those years we have had a number of Assistant Coaches who have moved on and become head coaches at other schools. Nolan Richardson had Andy Stoglin and Scott Edgar on his original staff. Andy was a head coach at a number of schools like Southern University and Jackson State. Edgar later became head coach at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh. Mike Anderson played and worked with Richardson at Tulsa and Arkansas and then went on to a long career as a head coach. J.D. Barnett's Assistant Coaches included Ron Jirsa, later the Georgia Head Coach, the late Flip Saunders, later coach and General Manager of the Minnesota Timberwolves and for a few months one summer, Tom Izzo, long time head coach at Michigan State. These are just a few of the assistants that came through Tulsa and went on to head coaching jobs elsewhere. Some of their head coaching jobs did not work out. It was nice to see them here and then on a different stage later, however.
Yes, Kevin O'Neill was another one of our Assistant Coaches. He was at Tulsa in 1985-1986. He has had a long career after Tulsa.You remember Kevin O'Neill too then. He may have been one of our best recruiters too. Would have landed Kevin Pritchard if not for JD. Was Head Coach at Arizona , Marquette, Tennessee, Northwestern, USC, and Toronto in the NBA
Did JD also botch the recruitment of Lee Mayberry or did Nolan win the battle? I believe Lee was committed to TU at one point.You remember Kevin O'Neill too then.

JD hired Lee's 11th grade coach Lonnie Spencer and Lee committed to TU in his Junior year. Lee had many whisper in his ear not to play for JD and his family marriage to the Richardson family in Arkansas quickly solved that dilemma.Did JD also botch the recruitment of Lee Mayberry or did Nolan win the battle? I believe Lee was committed to TU at one point.

Not to mention the dozens of people who claimed both of them as dependents on their taxes. My dad used to do volunteer tax prep up on the North Side. A lot of that going on. Reggie Brooks must have lived with at least 10 Aunties.William blew out his knee his senior year. Tubbs gave him a scholly anyway and then hired Mims. I heard from a northside pastor friend that was a friend to the Rev. that there was other amenities included in the signing.

Tisdale's older brother gave the excuse of hoing to OU that TU didn't have his major, architectural engineering.Wonder what he wound up doing for a living?
Hay never did anything in one year at TU. Craven looked good when he got a chance. He bounced around after TU.
In 85 when TU was playing in in NCAA in Albuquerque, in the program I got there it had Craven in the team picture of Nevada, if I remember right. I was kind of excited to get to see him play, but it turns out that he had left the team.
At least TU got Ricky Ross out of the Tisdale and Price class.

A lot of garbage was said about Nolan that first year. A lot of it to sell papers to gooners and pokes. A lot of it racist without realizing it trying to sell papers. And even a little not so subtly racist, just to sell papers.
And he wasn’t in the best of health himself either.Actually the Prisco article was in Nolan's last year I think when he said something to the effect that Nolan was coaching like a "rock" on the bench implying he had no energy compared to his first few years. I noticed that too in Nolan his last year as he didn't seem as interested in the game. But he had something more important on his mind that Prisco should have been more sensitive about.....His daughter was dying of Leukemia.
