The SEC should try and cut the home officiating help nonsense and let good teams be good. The SEC (and other conferences, to be fair) are going to dice each other up and you can guarantee we'll miss a few SEC teams from the tournament.

Nope, not at all, I am just here trying to catch up on things and get a few laughs on what is going on with my second favorite team, but when I see an Arkansas Thread, I will voice my opinion.

I often see these "Coach Anderson is a racist" comments, and I will ask again, like I have previously asked and never received a justifiable answer, what has he ever done that deems him a racist?

Someone else will have to address that as I have no firsthand knowledge about his racism but you seem to be in the "guilt by association" situation. If you are not against them, you are for them. Nuff said...

I am simply defending Coach Anderson from unsubstantiated comments, or asking for an example otherwise.

I'm curious as to how you all view Anderson as a coach? He has always seemed like a coach who wins enough to stay, but never takes teams to the next level. He's only made it past the NCAAT first weekend twice in his coaching career. Also has only won a conference regular season once, back with UAB.

Just curious as to how your fan base views him, and if people think he's long term? Is their a dream coach for you all? I just have little interaction with Arkansas fans, so figured I'd ask.

I like him, and willing to give him time to get his players and his system in place to win consistently. He came into a bad situation following Heath and Pelphrey, and is just now getting the athletes and depth to be successful. He didn't have the resources or tradition at Missouri and UAB that he has at Arkansas, so only time will tell.

I haven't liked Anderson since he was back at UAB. That whole thing with Nolan Richardson attending our practice before playing them and then helping Anderson from the stands during the game really upset me. Part of the blame falls on Tubby for inviting the guy to practice whose disciple was coaching against us in the NCAA Tournament game.

That is something that I was not aware of. Since that was when Mike was at UAB, it had to be long before the "mending" of the relationship between Nolan and the University.

I was just using a simple, quick example where a player does or says something that he ends up regretting, and wondering if you would admit that it is not necessarily a reflection of his coach.

I get it, and what is completely laughable is that in your eyes, and many others, Kentucky players and/or coach don't ever do anything wrong, but when one or more Arkansas players and/or coach does, it is completely different.

I never commented negatively on Monk and Goodwin, I wished them both well and completely understood their decision. They were great Arkansas High School Players, but even though I was not a world class athlete, I chose to leave immediately after High School to pursue my career as well.

As for the flagrant fouls, the players got caught up in the moment and reacted in a bad way, and apologized for their reaction. As far as I can remember, Kentucky players have not received any, and I don't believe any of the Arkansas players have received any previously or since.

Happy New Year.

Received what? Flagrant fouls since last years game? I'm confused.

The Dusty guy and the Moses guy were the culprits last year. I don't think either plays for you anymore this year anyway so of course they haven't had any since. Your coach said that neither play was dirty, which we both know is not true.

Now I can't remember who tackled Goodwin in 2013, but it was flat out dirty. Not sure your point. That these players don't usually get flagrant fouls? Well ok, if true, but your players under the same coach have a habit of flagrant fouls against UK. God forbid we ever land another recruit from the state of Arkansas, that's pretty much a guarantee that a Mike Anderson team will tackle, hit, forearm, pick/forearm to the face, hit in the face, etc. whatever when playing UK.

To be honest, Nolan is an experienced coach who could have gotten anything he needed to help Anderson by watching UK's game tapes. Or Anderson should have been smart enough to figure it out on his own, I don't think he needed the help. UK wasn't flashy and didn't change anything up under Tubby.
That was all on Tubby IMO. He had the better team, but he didn't prepare his team properly.
Heck, it shouldn't matter, UK could have told the UAB players what play they were going to run each time down the floor and STILL should have won comfortably.

Well if it is home cooking and the home team wins, would that not be "it is the best cooking ?" I mean if the home team lost, then yes the worst, but they win so its the best cooking. Nothing like a good home cooked meal.

Wasn't Nolan Richardson pretty much in UK's huddle when Tubby was drawing a play up to beat Mike Anderson's UAB team in the NCAA Tournament several years ago? Then went back to report what he saw?

Sounds like Arky got a little of their own medicine that they enjoy so much in Fayetteville...it really plays to their disadvantage cause when they go on the road they can't believe the stuff they don't get away with.

That's great, because your feelings towards Coach Anderson are similar to how most Razorback Fans feel about Calipari and Barbee. My personal dislike for them isn't because of Kentucky, it goes way back to the Memphis days and prior.[/QUOTE.


I could give a crap less about hiw arkansas fans feel about cal but that does not suprise me because he dominates you. Now davis onthe other hand is a straight up *** and you can tell by his comments after games and his mannerisms during the game. Screw davis. Find your way to the arkansas board and you can discuss itwith them

Anderson and his players are all very classless. He is never gracious in defeat and always does the blow by with opposing coach. It's very obvious the envy Arkansas fans have for UK. He encourages dirty and malicious play with no discipline. It's the Arkansas way. The best thing about them is buying their tickets at the SEC tournament. I get mine from Arkansas every year at a great price. Most Arkansas fans aren't smart enough to do quick math. It's funny when Arkansas fans boast about tradition. Corliss and Scotty aren't coming back. All other Arkansas top recruits come to UK I'd Cal wants them.

I've always said that you'd better be 15 points better than your opponent if you want to win on the road in the SEC. The refs in the SEC are just plain cowards; when the gym gets rowdy and the crowd gets on their back, it becomes 8 on 5 really quickly. Doesn't seem to matter which gym either.

That is an interesting point, and sadly, sums it up well. A block, charge, or hack, should be called in accordance with the rules, the same on both ends of the court regardless of where the game is played. I don't complain publicly about officiating, but I do remember several years ago that Arkansas got completely cheated out of a football game at Florida in the Swamp, and the SEC actually suspended the entire officiating crew.

Agreed, the officials join in with the crowd so easily. Although, that didn't happen at LSU the other night, it was refreshing.

Sounds like you're just hearing what you want to hear. He gives Kentucky and Cal plenty of credit in his post game interviews.

"Kentucky is a great team, we know that. Cal has probably one of his more talented teams here"

"Hats off to them. I thought (De’Aaron) Fox did a good job of controlling the game – and (Derek) Willis – the guy that keeps haunting us. Last year he haunted us at Bud Walton Arena, and tonight he haunted us as well."

"Kentucky is an outstanding team and they did what they needed to do. In the conference race, you’ve got to defend your home court and they did that.”

"That’s what I’m saying – people want to talk about Monk. (Bam) Adebeyo, what about him? (Isaiah) Briscoe, in the second half I thought he was better. Like I said, Willis, Monk is a big part of it, so you pay attention to him and that’s part of the strategy. I don’t think people understand that. You pick on him and then other guys might get off. I hope you guys cover basketball enough to understand that. From that standpoint, that’s kudos to Cal. He got a couple fouls early on in the second half and we had to find out where he was, but I thought it allowed a lot of other guys to get to the offensive boards, and I thought they were a lot tougher going down the stretch than our guys.”

This is why it was so key for the SEC to get teams ranked going into conference play. ACC and Big 12 the last few years get teams ranked and then they keep beating each other so you have like a #12 beating a #16 and thus no one drops in the polls and then it helps come selection sunday.

Still not sure how good many of these teams are, but any road win will be good this year. LSU tomorrow is very winnable but LSU will beat some top SEC teams down there this year.

Of course that has nothing to do with Anderson’s thuggish style of basketball.
Click to expand...


He learned it from Noalan Richardson's "40 minutes of [fouling] hell" defense. The idea is to foul so constantly that the ref's become calloused to the increased level of contact. By the end of the game, it almost looks like football out there. And, if all goes to Anderson's plan, Arkansas is the one playing football while they other guy is still playing basketball. Guess who wins that game?

The problem is that the "foul every time" plan fizzles on the road, where visiting teams get a tighter whistle. That's why Arkansas always has such a lousy road record and generally flops in post-season tourneys.
