Listen, I will say this. Allen Iverson once said that his name, to John Thompson II, was "m'f---er." However, he goes on to say, "But you know what, man. It was all said in love, though man." He concluded: John Thompson taught me a lot. He didn't just teach me how to play basketball. He taught me how to become a man! Hopefully, MD knows the difference between some whiny soft people on this board and elsewhere and true discipline that is all about love. "No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening--it's painful! But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way." How deleted inconsiderate can a person be. The only ones who are whiny soft are the ones who don't give a damn about MD! MD had 14 pts. before the half and made a so called mistake. He ended up with 24 pts. and played a big part of winning his team's and coach's first Big East game! True discipline? MD doesn't need that. He's never been a problem player. MD has a great family, a great Mom and Dad who raised and are raising him in becoming a man. Respect is love too. Hope MD knows the difference between idiots and ones who care about him and how he feels. How many points did MD have on Saturday? Let it go! You know, the one thing you will not see here, my friend, is me resorting to name calling and throwing insults at anyone. Quite frankly, I think you sorely missed the point of my post. My point was a very simple one: any and all true parent/mentor/coach disciplines the one he or she loves. As a matter of fact discipline--true discipline--is born out of love. This has nothing to do with MD's parents and his upbringing. I believe many parents send their young men to Georgetown because of the Georgetown's reputation for turning boys into men. What did Iverson's mom say to JT when she came calling on him?--something that both Iverson and JT2 confirmed. This also has nothing to do with how good MD is or how well he performed that night. If anything, it confirms the character of the young man and the fact that he could recognize the love in the disciplining. Listen, my friend; you are talking about respect?! Listen, I am an educator. And I have been one for twenty plus years. I also come from the Caribbean, just like Ewing and Michael Thompson. I don't prescribe to this notion that kids are, somehow on the same plain as their teacher/coach/mentor and I need to show them the same level of respect. Of course kids deserve respect; everyone deserves respect. However, if I am your teacher/coach/mentor, whatever, you had better sit your butt down and let me teach you something so you will become deserving of some real respect. Respect is not given; respect is earned! Yes, I will say it--if we are not careful, we will continue to raise up some soft, whiny kids in our country who cannot appreciate love in the form of some heat. Get over it! Ewing is trying to develop players and character on and off the court. Along the way, some feelings are going to get hurt. Heck, look at all of the kids committing and de-committing from schools and programs all across this country almost every day. Many of them because oooOOh, they got their little old feelings hurt. Finally, my dad, one of the toughest disciplinarians I know, would tell us: "Listen, the job of the teacher is not to shower you with love, kindness, and sweet words. The job of the teacher is to teach you what he or she knows." |

Oh, so now Fox Sports thinks this is okay? I can see it's trickling down. Never been fond of Fox News or Fox Sports anyways bro. So, since everyone/fans agree with this Fox decides to let this be. I get it. smh Like you said before, I blame mostly the media. |

I coach and was a father, I know about tough love and discipline and all that, so just to let you know, I don't need a lecture. Some of most of our young men come from a one parent household. Yes, Gtown and some other schools have reputations of turning their young men from boys to men, but that was when Big John and JT3 coached here. I didn't say this had anything to do with MD's up brining. I was simply making a statement that MD doesn't need the discipline everyone thought or thinks he needs. Got it? Don't assume, just ask. Yes, there is love in disciplining and I'm sure MD knows this, but when this goes viral (blaming media) how do you think MD feels about this. I'm not talking only about what happened, I'm talking about the media putting our kids out there and thinking it's okay. It's not! Darn right I'm talking about respect. I'm sick and tired of the media bashing our kids. Aren't you? Great you're educator. I commend you. Now, suppose you yelled at one of your kids and it went viral and this particular student gets ridiculed not only here in the USA but around the world by the media? Think how this student would feel? What in the hell does this have to do with being soft??? It's a young person's feelings. I've been a father for the 18 years my son was living. Yes, I gave him tough love and made some mistakes along the way, and had to go back and apologize to my son, but also tell him I love him and I only want you to do right. The character of MD is great I think. I never said or mentioned any young person was on the same level as an adult, but you do and are required to show and TEACH them respect!!! Yes, the same respect as anyone else. Young people are to be taught, so they will teach their children to respect other's as well!!! MD has earned respect for the three years he's been on the Hilltop! You're not talking to someone who hasn't been there or done this slick. Trust me. This get over it . I've been over it. You came here continuing this, so why don't you get over it? I know what Ewing is trying to do, but something isn't right. Ewing is not perfect and is growing with his players as well. Why don't you read the other posts I've written. I agree with somethings Patrick is doing, and some things I don't agree on or with. No disrespect! You wrote: Yes, I will say it--if we are not careful, we will continue to raise up some soft, whiny kids in our country who cannot appreciate love in the form of some heat. Me: W deleted is soft and whiny. Did you see MD whining or soft? There's a time and place for everything. You know damn well the media will eat this up and they did and know they want to mic up coaches for the whole game now just because. Think man think!!! There are lots of kids who accept tough love but out of respect!!! You should know this? 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. Morgan Wootten
“Yelling doesn't get your point across, it only makes it louder.”
― Grant Hill This ain't about being soft. It's about being respectful and yes to our younger people so they can teach the same one day to the children or players!!! By the way MD in the Creighton game had 4 pts. and played only 15 minutes. I was taught to think about other's sometimes out of consideration, respect and love and to be thoughtful. Are you? Have you? Be considerate! |

We will see, its a little early for anyone to check out, especially players. This is the beginning of the rest of their lives. Simply not buying any of the histrionic balderdash being put forth on here - but will say that if these players have already tuned out this coach (again, I don't think they have) then it would say far more about them, as it would be the second straight season in which this core would have done so. I'm just the messenger, this how and what they saw. They were right there, we weren't. Just saying. |

He coasts a lot on defense and he took 3-4 lazy shots yesterday -- just stuff where it was easier to take something unlikely to hit than work and get a good shot. This is not unusual, but he will be a better player and we will be a better team if the effort improves. Even if it is just to pass that ball away. [ Oh, Ranch, MD coasts all the time defensively. He should be hands down our best player, and an All-BE lock. Too often in the past, he’s disappeared, largely because his intensity and focus lags. Ewing sees how good he can be and is pushing him to greatness. The next big leap he can make is in rebounding, anticipation and attention to detail on the defensive end. He’s still a very marginal defender. Disagree, Smokey, just haven't seen Marcus coasting much at all this year. Part of that is his improvement and part of that is Ewing's cattle prods. The irony, of course, after watching the painful Creighton loss, is that there are several players on the team who, compared to MD, are making many more mistakes, poor decisions, and giving inconsistent effort. |

I must say your reaction to the incident and my comments are rather emotional and not based on any principles. No one has more respect and admiration for the so many single parents out there. Again, I teach these students and partner with their parents every day. And...I will tell you something else, my respected fellow poster, these parents come to the teacher-parent conferences seeking my help and guidance of their young ones. Trust me, in today's reality, a coach/teacher is much more than a teacher/coach True teachers and coaches realize we, along with parents, are in the same fight. |

I don't believe that there are many people out there who feel as strongly as I do about the image the media tries to project, and the insults the media tries to hurl at our young black men. Listen, my friend, from I arrived in this country from the islands, much like many other black student-leaders of the past, I fought for racial-social justice, first on university campuses and in the wider community. I don't need to get into talking about all of that, here. Suffice it to say, much of my life has been devoted to destroying the stereotypes and image of black people in American society as is, to a great extent, reflected in the media. However, this is not the point. The point is, we must discipline our kids. We must teach them, even in the glare of the intrusive media. What is the point you are trying to make about MD having only 4 points and playing 15 minutes? |

Generally, a coach can be more stern with an upperclassman because of maturity and expectation of leadership. No need to get on freshmen in their first semester of college ball.

Okay, Glide, it seems to me that your main gripe is that MD may have gotten his feelings hurt because he was "put out there" by the media. Have you spoken to MD? How do you know this. Do you think it was Ewing's intention to embarrass MD on national TV. Listen, man, there have been many times when I have yelled at my own students in front of the whole class. Was I proud of those times? No, of course not! Should I have taken them aside and spoken to them one on one? Absolutely! However, we don't always behave or perform in the moment in the most ideal fashion. As I have grown as a teacher, though, when I allow my passion and concern for my students to get out of hand like that, I just try to make sure that I follow it up by letting that student know how much I love them and want to see them succeed. If you go back and check my post following this incident, you will see that I said this is what Ewing needs to make sure happens.

― Grant Hill This ain't about being soft. It's about being respectful and yes to our younger people so they can teach the same one day to the children or players!!! By the way MD in the Creighton game had 4 pts. and played only 15 minutes. I was taught to think about other's sometimes out of consideration, respect and love and to be thoughtful. Are you? Have you? Be considerate! You are right about one thing, my friend. Ewing is growing as a coach along with his players. I assume that the point you are trying to make here is that he will make mistakes from time to time. On that score, you and I are in complete agreement. When I am teaching my kids--at school or at home--I don't first look to see who is in the room. Maybe I should, but I am just telling you, I don't! |

Coaching D-1 athletes and teaching students in a classroom require different motivational techniques. Pat has nothing to apologize for IMHO.

However, we all must come at some issues sometimes from a background and that we know something about. I don't know much about coaching d-1 players, but I have learned a thing or two about leadership, teaching, and, most importantly, parenting. |

If Doc has such a frail ego that a tough TO is going to shatter his confidence, we better hope he never comes on here and sees this thread.
For my $, the kid is a rockstar and should be praised, not dogged.

On another note does anyone know if Derrickson’s nose was actually broken in the DePaul game? If so was he ever fitted for a plastic mask? Even if th nose was not broken, a blow that caused him to bleed profusely like that would take more than 2 days to completely heal. Maybe his limited time in the Creighton blowout was due to staff trying to protect him from further injury.

That was a tough TO? If so, I'd be really curious as to how the TOs sounded during the Creighton game.

For my $, the kid is a rockstar and should be praised, not dogged. I am so happy you brought this up. Quite frankly, I feel that MD is the key player on the team. Love the guy! And I really do believe that he saw it for what it was worth. So I am done. As you might be able to tell, I am stuck in doors because of inclement weather. |

This. If Doc can string together 12-15 point games it will help open things up for our smalls, and everyone benefits. Doc is also money from the line, keep muscling up down low.
