He did a great job developing Ruth, for sure. I think it was a pick your poison situation.

No. that’s why I said “Bb” and we were talking about Beaver basketball in the Basketball thread. Sorry for the confusion. But in reference to your opinion, we are laying half of the majority of the recruiting on a 68 yo guy that’s close to retirement? That might answer some questions. The only recruiter on the staff is Marlon, who was retained. Thank you! I just cringe when a failed head coach fires his assistants. That he hired!!!

Wrong again like usual about WBB and your disdain for all things Rueck. Ely was not a Rueck decision. That decision was made upstairs. If it was up to Rueck Ely would be at OSU forever.

If you are talking to me. Wrong again with the quote function. And, that’s not what Eric told me. And I don’t have disdain for Scott other than he’s too set in his ways and his program has gotten passed by several other teams in the league. He’s still a good coach. I just don’t act like he’s the Messiah like a lot of posters on the WBB board.

Just because you hire a guy means he should work out? Nah. s%#t happens. People, in all walks of life, hire the wrong person all the time. You probably can’t believe people get divorced either…they picked their own spouse!

Not taking responsibility, blaming others. If they weren’t the right guys he should have known by now. Cheesy.

I detest this overused go-to response. Unimaginative, lazy, and not constructive. . That could be my new tagline. I'm just waiting for some of these armchair coaches to show us how it's done.

Just to clarify my feelings on this move: -I’ve always hated when failing coaches fire assistants in a too-late desperate move. This mainly happens in football. -I still fault the AD for the knee-jerk extension. I seriously doubt folks were knocking the door down to hire WT. -I like Tinkle. I liked his son. I love OSU basketball. Through all the highs and lows I have always respected him. This move has made me lose that.

Cheesy. Not all employees show what they are like in certain situations until they are placed in those situations. Even outside the sporting world, people get fired years into their job for how they mishandled a case, a client, etc. What's more, you're assuming that the assistant coaches weren't talked to about this. Maybe Tinkle had already done what he could previously. Maybe the coaches knew that they weren't cutting it. There's a lot that we don't know. To say that this is a cop out or that Tinkle isn't taking responsibility is pretty short-sighted.

But, you could have added on 2 years instead of 4. That would have given him 4 total instead of 6.

Your approach was probably the best middle ground solution.
