once again another of these TOS to,s. what the hell is that about?

It's worth explaining every now and then for new members or casual readers.

In 2008, it was abundantly clear our head basketball coach Tim O'Shea (TOS) was trying to stairstep his way out of Athens and somewhere near his east coast roots. That spring, he was connected to endless jobs from very minor to big time. We legitimately had 10+ threads of "TOS to" going, tracking all the different reports of the various job openings and it got to the point that every single job opening prompted a new TOS to thread. It was kind of comical but also based in reality. He threw his name into many openings, and many openings reached out to him. His value as a coach was sort of difficult to pinpoint as he had checkered success here.

As he moved on, in honor of that crazy time, every time we discuss a job opening we title it "TOS to.." as a tip of the cap to that crazy time and the comical amount of threads we had. All it really means is there is a job opening.

To clarify on your very good brief, it wasn’t just 2008, that cat was looking from basically day one! At a New Years Eve party at Coach Rhodes house his wife told a group of teachers (one of which was her daughter’s), that Tim has to have a good season so we can get out of here, these schools are ruining our daughter. Jaws hit the floor. They knew how to endear themselves to the community. Only Head Coach in OHIO history that could go to the Country Club and not find anyone to want to play with him.

The juco center who picked TSU over Southern Miss?

Kansas? Duke? Seriously?

I thought he meant TOS. lol

Don't make me remember the glory days of the players getting interviewed on TV while TOS proceeded to AIRBALL about 3 layups in a row in the background. He looked like the 50 year old dad in flip flops who never played and hadn't touched a ball in 40 years trying to show his kid "how it's done".

Yep!
