Before the JT Jr. era we wore white at home, as was standard for all teams, and navy on the road. He introduced the lighter color. The story goes that after many alums saw that color in high profile games viz. '82 National Championship there were complaints that they did not represent our true colors. In response, Jr. effectively said "You want blue and gray? I'll give you blue and gray". And that is how the gray home uni's were born. Ever heard about throwback uniforms??? Hmmm. Well those hideous things should be thrown back and never retrieved

As someone who has a signed framed ‘82 Ewing Blue jersey on my Office wall, I promise you that last night’s abominations are several shades lighter.
They also have different lettering and numbering and don’t even get me started on the side panels.

This game had no chance to be anything but ugly after we broke out those ready for radio atrocities. I’ll take ugly uniforms for 1000 Alex.

I fear this is what we will look like against quality teams this season.
Need to keep working and keep this respectable.

And now I return to my thought that we are raising veal. He is 20 or 21. He is not a child. I don’t care how long you have been in the game; a 20 year old man can be yelled at by a coach and it won’t kill him. Now we've gone from pee wee to child LMAO. Never said it would kill him, but think about Marcus. “Yelling doesn't get your point across, it only makes it louder.”
― Grant Hill u True basketball coaches are great teachers and you do not humiliate, you do not physically go after, you do not push or shove, you do not berate, if you are a true coach. If you humiliate or curse them, that won't do it. Coaches like that are not coaches. Morgan Wootten Hope you understand. The only thing that should offend Marcus right now is that you think he is so mentally weak... Done with this.

We can agree to disagree. That said he is a college junior, so 20-21 years old? And I disagree. Been in this game too long. He's still a young man in college. Nice try though.

I both have children and coach. I have coached travel soccer for years and coached girls CYO basketball for 4 years. I would never yell at a child while coaching them and would not call one out. However, they are children. Marcus Derrickson is an adult playing high level basketball. There is an inherent difference. I respect your opinion but talking about kids and this situation is in my humble opinion apples and oranges. So why would a college kid? MD is not an adult, and he's not considered an adult. Just because he's a big dude he's an adult??? What does high level hoops have to do with anything. It's still college basketball. I respect your opinion as well, but there are youth coaches NOW that will try what Patrick has done, and there are some now that do this. So no apples and oranges here. Respect. It's amazing the things you hear from your players talking to them one on one. I never embarrassed a player, I spoke with him alone.

Good Lord has this world gone soft. A coach at a major program yelled at one of his kids for a bad shot. He emphasized that it was poor decision and not a shot he should be taking. The kid went on and played well. Case closed. Just for some perspective: I remember to this day when Big John tanked Billy Martin from a National TV game (Nova I think) after a missed reverse breakaway dunk and cursed him up one side and down the other on his way off the court. Billy survived. We as a society are raising veal if anyone thinks Pat needs to apologize. You ever coached or have children. Have you've done something out of passion and know there's a better was as a parent or coach you could've done things? Just asking. I both have children and coach.
