  1. It was discussed last year in much more depth on the other websites 'confidential' board. The rumor has been out there for an entire year. I had pretty much thought that everyone around knew exactly why BDJ and Jelan went at it last year.
  2. This is rather old news. I wouldn't make anything of it anymore. I don't like the fact that she was able to stick around after everyone knew what was going down, but that's why it's Dave's job on the line not mine. I agree that staff should be held to a higher standard. Her dad is a good guy and has a lot of history with UNLV, but the whole nepotism thing doesn't look good, it should always be about hiring the best person possible with the best credentials, not whose someone's parents are and their 'connections'. But that is also real life. Some people get breaks, some don't.
  3. Since I wasn't personally present, I cannot verify. However I can say that I have heard of the BDJ-Jelan-dobo love triangle from quite a few people. Enough so, that it did not seem like a random rumor. I probably shouldn't have speculated about other athletes, that wasn't fair. The point being, we have a staff member that was acting inappropriately and it caused problems. Even though the main instigator transferred out, it's hard to see a reason why the staff member who was acting inappropriately, was not let go. Her last name is the reason. Fair enough but these are the little internal things that go on that cause little cracks to be big faults. Dobos don't motivate or coach. They are operations. The most exciting part of their job is sitting on the bench and looking important. Outside of that, they are making room and flight reservations.
  4. He will need something of note to plant his flag on. 1) win at least 1 game in the dance, 2) win reg season championship or 3) win MWCT. in order of importance with some shades of gray. For example we could have a typical Rice MWC season i.e. 3rd or worse, win the MWCT and lose in the 1st round of the dance - and that would not be a good year.
  5. Yes the fan base has been perpetually split over the coach. However I blame that more on a lack of production from our coaches than an impossible fan base. Nobody since tark has done squat except Kruger one year. That is going to lead to a lot of impatient fans. Look the bottom line is that it doesn't matter who The coach is, because if they perform aand win games in the ncaa tourney everyone is going to love that coach. We bicker because we lose and haven't done crap in 20 years.
  6. BDJ and Jelan had bad blood because they were both running the train on our dobo. Likely along with a few other athletes at UNLV. Why is SHE still around? That's the bigger question. It is just another example of how croneyism hurts UNLV. The chemistry on and around the program is very poor. Leadership is bad. Respect is poor. Lots of chiefs and egos.
  7. You fail to delineate between "not wanting Rice" and "not supporting Rice" once he got the job. Most everyone I know who wanted Theus got over it pretty quickly and threw their support behind Dave. Because we are UNLV fans and we want to win and when the rubber hits the road, I could care less who is coaching us, as long as they are performing. All Dave had to do was perform at least halfway adequately and nobody would be complaining, no boosters would be looking for new coaches and gathering buyout money, etc. Is there lingering resentment over how things went down and how the pro-Rice supporters have conducted themselves? You bet. And that's why it's a tainted situation as it stands now.
  8. About a year ago, I was able to go back into the cache/archives of Rebelnet posts when Rice was hired. It was both sad and depressing at the same time. Final Four predictions. Top 10 program status. MWC domination. Having to fend off the blue blood programs for our coach, scoring 90+ per game and bringing the old Runnin Rebels back, etc. The ironic thing is that most of those same posters are now perfectly fine with losing MWC records, no NCAA tourney wins and no MWCT or reg season titles, no running, no pressing, no high scoring. If we had hired Theus and we were at the same point now, these people would be having rallys outside of TKMs office. Check that, Theus never would have made it this far with the same results.
  9. There is a lot of built up animosity from those that have higher expectations for Unlv vs the Rice backers because of their petulance and habit of throwing anyone and everyone under the bus when needing to justify Dave rice. Former players with jerseys hanging like theus and LJ, check. Players the transfer out, check. Coaches who wanted the Unlv job, check. ADs who bleed rebel Red and just trying to do what's best for Unlv. Check. Journalists who run stories that refute their wannabe insider theories, check..
  10. In the spirit of keeping this thread going, my donor friend is convinced that Zimmerman is going to sign with UNLV today. Personally I think the way mommy has everyone over there on a yo-yo is kind of pathetic. But hey, hopefully we get a good year out of him.
  11. You have no idea what you are talking about. It was a done deal, as far as that end goes. Even the biggest Rice supporters that know anything, know this.
  12. I am starting to get it now. When someone argues fact and refutes a falsehood, that is being bitter. I am perplexed as to what people expected her to do, deny the exice of a meeting that everyone knew was going to happen?
  13. Ok you are not a liar. You just have no idea what you are talking about. The end of season meeting happens every year. This meeting happens with every coach and every player on The team. ITs not a secret nor unique to Unlv. I am not sure why this is so hard for you to comprehend but Tina did not announce the meeting. She was asked about it by the press who are smart enough to know that it will be held shortly after the end of season. I am not even sure why I am arguing this as anyone with a clue knows this. But hey whatever makes you feel better man.
  14. Tina never mentioned the meeting. This lunacy has to Stop. The meeting is an aannual meeting scheduled in advance each year after the end of the season. Once we lost In the mwct and rejected the other post bids, the meeting was set in stone. The press knows that this meeting takes place, it does not have to be announced. They asked her about it and she simply said yes we are having that meeting On Monday. You have to be smarter than to buy into the Rice lovers false narratives. What was she supposed to do, deny the meeting that everyone knew was taking place, was actually going to take place?
