Seeking6 Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 I'll just say a different kind of hot seat but our buddy across the Ohio is losing his fans more and more each day. Calipari will have to decide if he wants the headaches again because next year isn't looking any better. #1 ranked recruiting class my backside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Rasmussen said in a statement. "Coach McDermott and the team have accepted that, effective immediately, he is suspended from all team activities, including Saturday's home season finale against Butler. Further sanctions remain under consideration, not all of which will be shared publicly. "Coach McDermott and our Athletic program must use this incident as an opportunity for growth and learning, as clearly more work needs to be done." McDermott apologized Tuesday for referencing a "plantation" to his players following a loss to Xavier last week. "Specifically, I said: 'Guys, we got to stick together. We need both feet in. I need everybody to stay on the plantation. I can't have anybody leave the plantation,'" McDermott said. McDermott said on Creighton's pregame radio show Wednesday -- before he coached the Bluejays against Villanova -- that he offered to resign over his comments. He said the players did not ask for him to resign. "Our guys wanted me to coach, and that's my job," McDermott said. After Creighton announced the suspension Thursday, McDermott took to social media and said he believed the school's decision was the right one. "I made a mistake and I own it," he tweeted. "Mistakes come with consequences, and I accept and agree with the suspension." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their short list would probably be Billy D, Steve Kerr, and Popovich and they think all 3 would be idiots not to coach at UK. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also - I feel like he’s rumored in every NBA job or other college jobs as if he has one foot out the door. Maybe the school just thinks it’s time to part ways and this was the final straw.

Yes - this changes everything. But as some wise people on here have said previously “unless you’re fired for losing, you usually end up getting re-hired”. for instance, I’m sure Beilein and GGG can find a job right now if they wanted. Pitino got one, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissioner James will never sign off on Beilein or Greg McDermott. Doug McDermott is probably on double secret probation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
