Shox vs. McGill

[WuDrWu]

Ok, for various reasons I've mostly tried to stay away from this topic for a couple of days (not that anyone should or does care), mostly because I wanted to see what happened.


I actually did something similar as a young 20 something kid coaching junior high basketball in the Parochial League many moons ago. I had no good assistants (or bad..or any lol) to hold me back. It required one of the other officials to restrain me. 20 some years late I am still embarrassed.


I was stunned when it happened. I'm no less stunned now. Gregg was out of line, he knows it, he's been punished.

He didn't have a leash....I'd say he has one now. He KNOWS this was a serious event, no matter what he was thinking.

The situation, in my humble opinion, was handled BEAUTIFULLY by our Athletic Director. He managed Gregg. Not an easy job. The interim should be removed, immediately.

If you weren't aware of Gregg's "passion", you should be now.

The likelihood of him retiring at WSU increased.

I'm still very happy and proud he's my coach.

The positives, the manner in which the program has been run, the kids graduating, keeping their noses clean, and yes, the successes, far outweigh what happened.

Certainly none of us want to see that again, under any circumstances. But even if what happened is 100% indefensible, all the other positives warrant a 2nd chance.

You do not want to see sausage being made.

This incident is 100% on Gregg. And yes, while he is the face of the program, you MUST be proud of every other Shocker in attendance. Gregg was the only one who embarrassed himself.

I am still very proud to support the University, the program, the student athletes and yes, Gregg Marshall. Yes this was horrible and I understand there are repercussions but the positives far outweigh this one isolated event.

Living a quiet upstanding life in the privacy of your own home and hum drum job is a heck of lot easier than one lived in the public eye, with a job performed on national TV and in front of thousands of screaming , rabid, irrational fans. Your job on the line year after year, not to mention determined largely by the performance of a bunch of teenage kids. It might be easy to not to blow a gasket sitting in a cube all day, but try living/working under a microscope and you might get a little more leash every now and then.

All of this. Well said. Case closed

Seriously flawed speculation - IMO - Move on Fever your act on this thread has become more than tiresome.

Flawed speculation? And how is it flawed? Because the truth hurts?

Go ahead and explain the flaw in my post instead of wanting me to run and hide. That's a shitty way to try and make a point.

[ShockerFever]

IMO the general basketball fan (non-Beakers) will have forgotten this episode by the start of the 2016-17 season.

IMO, you're wrong. And even if you're not, does that make everything that happened ok?

Nope.

[ShockerFever]

. Lol! No, I got where you stand...it was this little nugget:

OMG!! It was on Sports Center Top 10! THIS IS HUGE! I can't believe that Is how we rank life's events.

Why is ShockerFever appalled by this? Because he throws stones at EVERYONE. Now, his glass house is exposed to the lowly MVC as he has lost the moral high ground. Now the redturds will really lay into him, but if he stands tall and abandons Marshall, then it will suddenly be deflected.

Come on Fever, you know it's all about appearances and what others think. Thank goodness you are here to represent us.

I'm still waiting for my $3 million.

It's rather humorous that you're comparing me to Gregg Marshall. Outstandingly humorous actually.

Now run along. I know you have some Valley fan's ass to lick.

Fever, you got your wish and Marshall got his suspension. Are you going to keep complaining about his behavior until everyone agrees with your point of view?

[ShockerFever]

Times two.

I'm afraid that statement by Doc subjects him to immediate fan card removal by a handful of people on here because he said Marshall did something wrong and embarrassing.

Case indeed closed.

As long as people keep directly quoting me, I'm going to continue to respond. Maybe you should tell the minions that believe this was a nothing burger to move on.

If you don't know where I stand on this issue, then yes, yes you do.

Do I need to calibrate my meter?

Based on your response, I think you missed the point again. I didn't compare you to HCGM.

Let me help translate what RMS is saying.

"I have low behavioral expectations, both for myself and others, and I want to feel justified in my low standards. Since outright arguing for low standards is rather lame, I'll just be sarcastic to the point of utterly and completely exaggerating what those who disagree with me are saying until it becomes comical and nothing like their actual arguments."

It seems people with low standards really have a hard time comprehending the fact that not everyone sets the bar as low as they do.

This has got to be one of the most full of **** pretentious posts I've ever seen in my life.

That you are still allowed to post on this forum indicates that the bar lyeth somewhere below ground level.

I don't think there's a whiff of pretense to it. Full of ****? Yes.

[ShockingButTrue]

I think its only appropriate at this point that WSU putting out an offer to fully refund any season tickets if Marshall is ejected from a game before December 29th to those who are offended by this behavior.

If the refs were ever that bad in the roundhouse I assure you no one would be offended if Marshall got ejected.

But you know you'd see some hella' Play Angry after that!

If you are too unintelligent to recognize the flaw in your post, one would have to draw the conclusion that your limited intellect will prevent you from understanding its explanation.
