    Guys that age don't change their stripes. He'll pull his usual fade act soon.
    I am gathering that this guy is a huge dickhead, but can someone please provide me with a quick synopsis of why? I'm just out of the loop on him.

    SLU's basketball staff made this decision (which happens often in college bball). Mack and the entire athletic department never wanted Dez to leave.
    Big difference.

    And we still don't know the actual "situation" with Dez. Its funny how Xavier doesn't want "the real situation" to come out because they would look like the morons they already are.

    I guess I didn't realize college players got "cut" that often.

    Google "Chris Mack", "Jim Crews" and "Evansville" and you should figure it out
    We've come a long way since my bench seat at the Fieldhouse!

    He's a Bob Knight disciple, it sort of goes with the territory.

    I tend to agree with MOR, Crews hasn't had much success as a head coach since the early 90s and there's no indication that he can recruit at any level now. His last head coaching job was at Army, which is a completely different animal.

    He has deserved it for a couple of decades. It could help him.
    Thanks for the well deserved laugh!

    He's Bob Knight minus the coaching ability.

    "He's a little bit ball-dominant, he needs to have the ball in his hands, and he's not a good shooter." Ball-dominant … isn't that a nice way of calling someone a ball hog? Where is my Jay Bilas Thesaurus?
