Is this what the board has become? A person speaks positively about what he likes regarding a player, coach or program and he gets this type of private message? I have taken NO pot shots at anyone here! I am an avid hunter, do lots of deep sea fishing, and have an 8' Atlantic Sail and a 14pt deer on my wall to prove it. I am not sure what the issue or problem here is, but mods please tell me where I have insulted anyone here or disparaged anyone here at all and I'll gladly leave. As a footnote, I would like Tommy on this staff, but I guess that deserves hate mail. The sincerest form of flattery!
Tommy is an avid hunter and part of a local group of hunters that make hunting videos. Would be nice to see him back in Athens so I can watch more of the hunting and fishing shows on Youtube. Some very very good stuff.
I know what you are getting at and I could careless about that, before you go running your mouth, get the story straight, Tommy has been out of the fold for a few years now, since he's been a Grad Assistant, your so in to the video's on youtube look at the dates. Billy this topic here is way out of your league sooooo don't even go there because you have absolutely NO clue about it.

And again you run your mouth without thinking, posting that about Tommy and hunting was totally uncalled for, don't use Tommy to take pop shots at me, shoot at me directly by name I like it that way, fuels my fire, Tommy has taken time off to concentrate on coaching, sure he hunts some but nothing like he did while he was in college, Its all about coaching, that's his dream, hunting is a hobby, While Tommy was in college his mother passed away, as you know his father Tom living in Muncie and not being able to comfort Tommy during this difficult time, well Tommy and my family grew very close, he was actually with us when he got the call he needed to return to Muncie ASAP to see his mother, he was like another son to me, hell after he graduated college he moved in with our family until he went to England to play and lived with us in the off season till he went back. Tommy is more than just a friend to my family, he is a big part of our family, Tommy knew I hunted and he never did, but always wanted to learn, so I taught him, Tommy used hunting to fill a little void and it helped keep his mind off the death of his mother along with getting him away from basketball and college life for some peaceful time, Tommy would be a great addition to any coaching staff, if its Ohio or somewhere else, Tommy's a teacher of the game and a knows the game. he's young and a go getter, that's the kind of Assistant Coaches you want on a staff.
I miss Tommy sure, am I a little bias probably. but this is not about hunting at all, its all about a young man chasing a dream and fulfilling it, the hunting was there to help fill a void and give him some happiness. maybe you understand this and maybe not.
Ask Tommy if he'd rather coach or hunt lol we both know that answer Have a good evening Billy
