Post by underdog74 »

In a funny turn of events, all of the players on he vucommodores.com roster are listed as point guard. :lol:

Mark wasn't kidding about positionless basketball. Or should we call it one-position basketball?

Agreed. Gives me “clown show” vibes.

Byington has been in college game a good while: he knows what he is doing and to call this "a clown show" shows some real lack of insight.

Disagree. Sounds very gimmicky to me.

I mean…the history of website maintenance on VUCommodores leaves a lot to be desired. It’s entirely possible that when they changed over the roster the default position for players is PG and the site managers neglected to update it. But whatever. If they all have PG skills, that bodes well for success.

I've bowled for the better part of 40 years, I stink. Just because you have done something for a long time does not make you good at it.

You read into that statement what you wanted and not what I said. Byington's body of work at Vanderbilt has been anything but a "clown show". And I never stated that listing every player as a Point Guard was a clown show. I stated that it gave me clown show VIBES. I am ok with being quoted, just quote me correctly. TY

For the record, your reply is giving me a vibe that has yet to be determined. In due time I'll know if my vibe was reality.

Fair point, but this was intentional. I read an blurb about Byington making the request.
