Okay. Enough. If Stokes had any work ethic and wasn't lazy as he!! he would be a highlight reel. Undersized post players have to develop their skills - themselves. He has to get to the gym outside of practice and take a 1000 shots so that he doesn't have to be 2 feet from the basket to make a shot. He also has bad footwork and seems lost on defense and rebounding. They need to watch Izzy and Bashaara pursue the basketball on rebounds - that is part learned skill but mostly want to. And the Martin bashing is almost turning into racism it seems. It's Year 2 and basketball is about the players for the most part. They have to want to play defense and bang and hustle and Trae plays when he wants and Jarnell can't stay out of foul trouble. Kudos to Cuonzo for benching their behinds. Fricking Microwave generation - right now. Right now. The sky is falling. The sky is falling. I want my gratification right now. Well even in our best Tennessee basketball days under Jerry Green, they still had lapses. We've never been a basketball powerhouse - Oh yes we have, GIRLS! Get over yourselves.

Yes, if anyone disagrees with how Coach Martin coaches, the results he attains or fails to attain, it surely must be racism. Thank you DA.

If anyone disagrees with the President's comments and orders at gun clamp down today, yes, you too must be a racist.

And guess when some in the first year, and more the 2d and 3rd years into Dooley's tenure disagreed with what he was doing and NOT doing - that was all non-white folk on here, racism?

No free passes at this level, we are well into our 2d year, you either produce or get called out for failing to produce. No one should get less scrutiny because of their race, religion, etc. Losing game after game is not a racial issue since it is not the reason or an excuse. Ws and Ls are simply cold, hard, black and white facts.

If the Ls continue to outnumber the Ws the way we are going now, then Coach Martin, just like Dooley at the same time in his tenure here, needs to buck up.

And those who want to drop the race card at the first opportunity can go buck off.
