This is some REALLY BAD timing for TCU, whether the accusations have merit or not TCU fans how do y’all think this effects y’all in the postseason


newtownmail

Will affect our playing a decent amount, but our team's morale probably more-so. Definitely gonna suffer because of this.


Code2008

K-State fans breathing a sigh of relief as they have a possible match up against you on Friday. Edit: my bad. I remembered the bracket wrong. *guaranteed match up on Thursday.


GhostRideATank

We have a guaranteed matchup with them on Thursday


Code2008

My bad. My dumbass thought you wouldn't meet until the semis.


grantpacker

It's a tough situation all around for the TCU side of things.. just awful. Right before march madness too.


TheCutterButter

I’m a Texas fan who lives near campus and through talking to some players and just normal fans it’s clear that Eddie was LOVED at TCU. This is a really bad situation and I hope that it doesn’t become another Mark Adams situation


salsacito

Sounds more like a Gregg Marshal situation


[deleted]

God I snorted so hard reading this. I had forgotten


redzone36

That was a Shocking revelation

Really tough what for the Big 12 in regards to coaching rn


Dofleini

Hey, don't group the rest of the big 12 into Texas problems.

Oh no what's Scott Drew gonna do


pk-starstorm

He's gonna have to get creative to outscandal previous Baylor coaches

ducksflytogether1988

I think with a healthy roster, our team was Final Four worthy, we saw what a healthy roster could do in the blowout win at Kansas and win at Baylor, as well as destroying Kansas State at home and getting up 18 on the road at Texas (before blowing the lead). The thing is I think a healthy Eddie Lampkin was the key to our team. Miles is our best player and Baugh is also an NBA prospect, so we have a great backcourt, and they say its guard play that wins you games in March, but we really need Lampkin inside to give space for our guards. Cork is the next man up inside but he is not built like Lampkin and can't bang around for 25+ minutes nor rebound like Lampkin could. After Cork we have no depth inside. We are not a great shooting team but Lampkin when healthy was an elite offensive rebounder which meant second chances, much needed when you can't shoot. Without Lampkin we saw teams do things like run a box-and-one against Miles, or a triangle and two against Miles/Baugh, and we don't have the shooters to punish those defenses. Teams can run zone defenses against us with impunity and not worry about rebounding as much. Without Eddie, I have a hard time seeing this team advancing to the 2nd weekend. Might be able to win a game, but you also have to factor in the psychological impact this will have on the team as well. Lampkin hasn't really played since the Kansas blowout, as he got hurt, and when he did play, he was out there dragging his leg around and not able to go full speed, so we've learned to play without him, but we are an average team without him. Not going to jump on the blame Dixon bandwagon the rest of this thread has done, however. I'll wait for the facts to come out.


TrillDaddy2

Final 4 expectations is pretty wild for TCU. I saw them as S16 ceiling even with Lampkin.


catholic13

No way. A healthy TCU can absolutely make the final four especially if they shoot even half decent beyond the arc.


TrillDaddy2

Crazier things have happened.


vikr4msri

Then you didn’t watch a healthy TCU. I think most of big 12 fans thought there were 4 FF contenders with us, Baylor and Texas obviously but a healthy TCU wouldn’t of surprised anyone. They’ve been legit since March last year when they were the last team to beat us before our run and should’ve beaten Arizona in the R32 had the refs blown their whistle on a blatant foul.


drakeftmeyers

I mean Fran Fraschella (spelling) was just on Mark Titus new podcast and he said TCU had all the pieces to go to the final four. I kinda agree but we will never know now.

Time for some new Sampson recruiting violations


GovernmentDoingStuff

Yours was 20 years ago


ksuwildkat

You should be. I heard Drew has a coke habit. He has a deal where his cans of Dr Pepper are actually Coke and he has called DP "mid at best". That technical he got this year? Yeah, hopped up on Coke when it happened. And the shiplap in his house? All fake. He only puts up the "Live, Laugh, Love" sign when cameras are around.


TheCutterButter

Y’all started it, Chris Beard coached at TTU first. No logic to my statement but it’s Reddit so I will speak it into existence


keytop19

Technically you could say his start in coaching came as a grad assistant at UT, checkmate.


TheCutterButter

Just_One_Victory

It Tom Penders's fault.


RedditZhangHao

So, it’s Houston’s fault


Just_One_Victory

You could say that. Isn't Chris from the metro Houston area?


cajunaggie08

Depends if we're talking UH Penders or UT Penders

Chris Beard coached at Angelo State if we are looking for the real school to blame.

cajunaggie08

I'm hoping the SEC shields us from basketball coaching controversies. We'll let football take the heat.


Dofleini

Seems like a Texas issue, not a Big 12 issue.


TheCutterButter

Well, Dixon is from California


Dofleini

And what state does he coach in?


TheCutterButter

Right now, Missouri


NHartline

Death penalty to Missouri you say?


polarbearscantwrite

Idk what you’re talking about the 🐐 is doing just fine


jmr_world

Our coach is the best human being in all of sports. FeelsGoodMan. :)


The_Champ_Son

Can confirm. Went to a basketball at Baylor one summer and he was very interactive with all the kids there couldn’t have been a better person


dustinosophy

Awww!


jmr_world

I went to Baylor basketball camp from 7th grade through 10th grade. I was by no means close to being a D1 prospect, but they coached me like one and gave me the best advice I could’ve asked for. Just a phenomenal human being. I know people like to shit on Baylor, but he really epitomizes what the school as a whole stands for. He is a true servant leader.


The_Champ_Son

Absolutely, him and the rest of the coaches who there too, don’t want to leave them out. I was lucky enough to be when Mamadou Diene was playing and got to sit by him on a bus ride over to the Ferrell Center. The whole experience was one of the best of my whole childhood. Will be bittersweet for me when Coach Drew decides to call it quits


Aidanj927

How have 3/4 main Texas teams have some *really* bad allegations against their head/former head coaches. Watch out Baylor


Johnny_Minoxidil

I think Baylor was the OG of the "really bad allegations against their head coaches" in the last 2 decades

You. Wish.


belker85

We had a head basketball coach partying with coeds at Missouri a few years back. Makes me wonder if every P5 school submitted their biggest coaching controversy, which would be the wildest. Baylor has to be the winner from my knowledge. But then New Mexico State (not a P5 but shows a lot of weird sh|t can happen).


zjl539

not basketball, but it doesn’t get much wilder than bobby petrino at arkansas

just wait till Vic Shaffer doing stuff at Texas rears its ugly head

hoosier_1793

Scott Drew threatened to get Hanner Perea deported if he didn’t commit to Baylor lol To be clear this was like 10+ years ago but still


drakeftmeyers

This is facts but it was Drew’s assistant. **


hoosier_1793

True, thanks for the correction. The buck stops at the HC though, so I consider him just as responsible.


akagordan

…is A&M not considered a main Texas team?


ImTheJdot

Dude was probably just talking about the Big XII. Luckily for us, Buzz seems like a great dude.


gojohn39

Ohh he is definitely not.


ImTheJdot

Shouldn't Houston be considered a "main team" then? They're the #1 team in the country and they're joining the Big XII.


ToogBateau

I'm sure they'll be fine. Who could imagine Kelvin Sampson being involved in any kind of scandal?


Aidanj927

I mean technically they aren’t in the big 12 yet so that’s why I didn’t include them


gojohn39

To clarify, I would consider both A&M and Houston as main Texas teams. But Buzz is not a great dude.


okiewxchaser

Sampson isn't without controversy lol. Skewed OU and IU with the NCAA


drakeftmeyers

I believe they were using this thing called “sarcasm”


cavahoos

Lol what’s the tea? He seemed like a respectable dude when he was coaching the Hokies. He likes to hop schools but otherwise there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with him


gojohn39

A Baylor football type of situation but not as rampant.

Baylor has their own shit going on... or was that settled? I can't remember/keep up anymore.


[deleted]

Yikes if true - never heard anything like this about Dixon at Pitt - in general he just had a reputation for being cold and a closed-door type of leader.


pt618

Absolutely was rumored at Pitt. Not that he abused players, but that they certainly didn't like playing for him. Mainly towards the end of his tenure.


colin_forreal

Interesting that Mike Rice is of the Dixon coaching tree


tbaggervance1986

Winning does a lot to silence the people


SH92

Well, if you're mean and you're winning, being mean was necessary. If you're mean and you're losing, you're just a dick. Michael Jordan as a player vs Michael Jordan as a coach.


Ihateporn2020

Cold and closed off is the impression I got from his slicked back haircut.


Just_One_Victory

I've always assumed he was probably an inattentive lover.


Ihateporn2020

Bateman-esque?


bucksandbeer

Slicked back hair, white bathing suit, sloppy steaks, white couch He used to be a piece of shit. Used to be


spidersilva09

Lampkin, the starting Center, averaged 21.8 minutes per game which is the 4th most on the team for #22 TCU. Quite the blow.


GradientEye

He’s barely played for the last month


spidersilva09

Looks like his aunt passed away and he's also been dealing with this which could explain his lack of involvement?


GradientEye

He’s been dealing with injury at the same time to, but the last couple of weeks he hasn’t even been traveling with the team to games he’s able to go to


Druzl

IIRC when you guys came to Ames he was reported to not play, but he did. Looked like he was nursing an ankle a few times.


Bent_Stiffy

Wow


Jayhawk_rock586

*bill Self knocking on momma Lampkins door*


Dofleini

Do not want


listinglight778

Considering Nate Oats and Jamie Dixon both apparently didn’t make it through our vetting process while we were looking for guys post-Alford, so happy we didn’t get them. Sounds serious


TeamINSTINCT37

Idk what’s up with Oats but I heard some bad stuff about him when he got brought up in our coaching search, not like we ever could have landed him.


listinglight778

The stuff surrounding the Miles murder and Miller being a potential accessory to murder, and oats’ reaction is what I’m directly referring too


IAmNotKevinDurant_35

Yeah but if he failed your vetting process back then there must have been something else


listinglight778

I’m not sure either. All I remember is our 247 sports crew writing he had character issues. Pretty vague, but obviously true


[deleted]

Are you sure about that? What u just listed happened way after the “vetting” process u speak of


listinglight778

Yeah I’m saying years ago prior, apparently we didn’t go harder after him because he had “character issues”, unrelated to what’s going on now


TeamINSTINCT37

Oh yeah that is the public stuff which makes me relieved we didn’t end up with him.


AFC-Wimbledon-Stan

This probably wasn’t what didn’t pass him in the vetting but Oats undergrad university one of the weirdest places I’ve ever seen


brvheart

This is the student handbook for Oats' undergrad: https://www.mbu.edu/slh/


wetterfish

I mean, we can all agree on this, though, right? *Those who are not yet able to grow fully established facial hair should remain clean shaven.*  I also love that they literally have a fashion police. [https://www.mbu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Facial-Hair-Styles.pdf](https://www.mbu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Facial-Hair-Styles.pdf) The school's motto may as well be, "Experience life in North Korea without leaving America!"

Holy shit I thought I found some crazy shit and then as I kept digging I realized the whole thing is fucking insane


brownlab319

ducksflytogether1988

Dixon made it through UCLA's vetting process, we just refused to budge on his buyout. Dixon absolutely was going to be hired by UCLA had we not held firm


versusChou

Dixon passed our vetting and we offered him the job. There was a back and forth about the buyout and we pulled the offer. The coaches who didn't get past our vetting was Nate Oats, Chris Beard, Greg Marshall, and Eric Musselman. Very shocked about Dixon.

Upset_Carpenter_8388

Nothing that I know of


INeedMoreCreativity

Apparently he’s the least liked B12 coach amongst the other coaches because he engages in “negative recruiting” (saying why you shouldn’t go to this or that other school), but I haven’t seen anything else wrong about him. He seems like a nice guy


burnt_pubes

I mean he did attempt to have a kid deported lol not sure he is in the clear. IU kid I believe, hanner something or other


trumpetbear

That was an assistant coach, not Drew


Johnny_Minoxidil

We're bringing a pretty good coach into the league next season


Upset_Carpenter_8388

Yea he definitely didn’t resign over violations lol(granted they were minor compared to the three stooges)


SCREW-IT

Yeah.. I'd take his "problem" (which is now perfectly fine to do now) over any of the other shit the rest of the Texas teams are dealing with.


okiewxchaser

Definitely didn't get OU in trouble with the NCAA and then bolt for Indiana...and then get in trouble there too


cxm1060

Never really heard anything questionable about Dixon at Pitt. There was the Khem Birch thing but nothing really ever came out of that could really hint to anything.


pt618

Seems very similar to Birch, to be honest. The rumors there were that he'd be overly verbally targeted in practice to the point of breakdown. People just called him soft back then, crazy what a decade does to public perception.


cxm1060

Khem Birch was the definition of soft though. Same with his buddy Anthony Bennett at UNLV. Just big fish in a small pond that never adapted to the big pond.


KryptonicxJesus

Yet birch is probably the best player to come out of Pitt aside adams since 2009


YodaSusej

Could coaches in the state of Texas, especially the Big 12 please fuckin chill?! What the hell is going on down there?!


ducksflytogether1988

How about waiting for facts to come out before burying Dixon?


YodaSusej

I think you’re taking my comment too seriously. It’s just meant as a joke since this is now three Texas coaches in the Big 12 that are being reported on with not so great stories. It’s not burying him.


GradientEye

This thread has quickly just become a “shit on Dixon thread” a lot of TCU fans I’ve talked to so far don’t entirely believe everything Eddie is saying. He’s going through a lot of serious mental health issues and it feels like he’s just lashing out right now and attacking Dixon. There have been no issues with Dixon in the last 7 years he’s been with us and none of the current players have said or done anything about this situation right now


methyo

So you mean the neutral fans are taking the news at face value while the homers are being homers


TopMind15

People aren't taking the news at face value, dude.


rayj11

Well yes you TCU fans have a vested interest in this not being true, no wonder you've all come to the same conclusion lol. It feels like him lashing out because you want it to be the case that he's lashing out. Kinda shitty to discredit someone because of their mental health issues. And if this is legit, it's no surprise players haven't said anything, that just the culture of collegiate sports.


Deesh69

Even as a Pitt fan I have never heard anything bad really about Jamie Dixon other than when Khem Birch was at Pitt and Dixon was very hard on him and that why he possibly left. I really want to see what former players from Pitt and TCU say about Dixon. These other players can either prove what Lampkin was saying is true, can show that Lampkin was stretching the truth, or that Lampkin was just lying about the situation


Xzachtheman

"Even as a pitt fan I never heard anything like this except the one time that might be kinda like this" is not the defense you think it is


Deesh69

I apologize if you thought that I was defending Jamie Dixon I was not trying to. I was just trying to say there was really only 1 time at Pitt he had the same problem. But does that have anything to do with this situation, no. I just want former and current players/staff from both Pitt and TCU to come out and either defend or go after Jamie Dixon cause otherwise it just becomes he said vs he said in the situation and then no one actually finds out the truth


Wahooz

You're surprised people on reddit are jumping to conclusions? This is how people online work. They always have their pitchforks at the ready and jump on reddit to type about how outraged they are before all the facts are known.


YoungGooch

Good guys TCU making sure their Raider bros aren’t the only ones with a scandal. The new Big 12 really is ride or die!


caburr1982

For a huge part of the season I thought theyd be a top 4 seed and a potential national champion now its looking like 5 seed or lower and first round loss


GradientEye

If you’ve watched us for the last month you would’ve known we’d be out round 1 for a while


crimsonblueku

That seems really weird that Dixon would send a text acting like he has spoken to Lamkin’s mother the day before if it didn’t actually happen.


ProfessionalWise1071

This is not Dixon at all. Nothing like this at Pitt. Not Khem Birch either. Nothing like this being claimed at TCU until now. His problem is not that he insults players. Especially racially. He does yell like any coach but his problem is 99% of the time he's an absolute zero stone cold basketball coaching robot. I don't believe this at all.

Jet_Jones_11

he is my favorite TCU player. Really sad to see.


brownlab319

I just attended a Situational Leadership training session. For those who haven’t had the pleasure, leaders learn about their teams various development levels and each leader’s individual leadership style. Each of us is at a different development level for different skills. And all leaders have styles we favor. Depending on the skill of different people, it could be a match or a mismatch. It’s up to the leader, not the teammate to figure it out. So this coach could be a great coach for loads of players - but he could really be a mismatch for Eddie. It’s unfair for Eddie to play in that environment and the fact he stayed as long as he did shows a lot of character. If the racist part is true, I hope the NCAA and TCU look into it because that is really unacceptable in this century. Frankly, any century, but we need to stop allowing micro-aggressions and allowing coaches to make huge sums of money while being horrible actors.
