Arkansas started 13-1, then lost 11 of 15. The last two losses, against an Auburn team that didn't have a starter over 6'5" and a 19 point loss to a sub-500 UT team, were particularly bad. A coach who's accomplished all that Heath has, including a Sweet 16 berth with Kent State, isn't a "loser" and I don't have a clue why you think him a liberal. Presumably, he knows how to motivate his team. If I'm an Arkansas player, I'd be ticked off right now, and I'd come back next year with fire in my belly. Heath understands that and is looking to the future. A likely one-and-out NIT appearance would not have helped instill more toughness in his players, but his tactic should. -- Fordham Rams Basketball Message Board

In reply to: joe b 's message, "No athlete can really feel that way. You're crawling home to lick your wounds like a little bitch, that's legitimate? That is a loser's mentality. Go out there a keep working hard and earn respect. "physically spent"? how a bout the teams that keep winning and therefore play more games aren't they physically spent? This sounds like liberal bs." on Wed March 16, 2005 00:24:39
