Austin Nichols leaves Memphis
Memphis has had a killer exodus this offseason, but this is below the waterline.

Re: Austin Nichols leaves Memphis
Methinks that coaching staff might need some seat coolers...
Wow. If anything, you'd have thought it would have been declaring early

Memphis is not giving him a release. This will go well.

Re: Austin Nichols leaves Memphis
I understand the thinking in this case. The coach is desperate and also I think they're trying to force him to talk to them and give them a chance to pull him back. Not granting a release never works and always blows back quickly on the coach who refuses to give it; therefore I believe this is a tactic which they will abandon when it gets too hot.
on edit: Memphis has given him a conditional release. That usually means don't go play for someone on our schedule and even that often blows away if the player complains loudly enough.

Had he left last year we beat Memphis at least once this past season.

Re: Austin Nichols leaves Memphis
Lol. I wasnt even thinking about whether we had won before. I just remember being really frustrated at the game here since I was in attendence!PeteRasche wrote:Um.... We did. Remember? In Memphis?

Re: Austin Nichols leaves Memphis
Today's Kingsport paper gave a hint to where he will not be playing. Memphis says he cannot play for any team in the American conference, or U. of Tennessee. Several other stipulations, related to OOC scheduling also mentioned.
What if the Hokey Pokey really is what it's all about?
Re: Austin Nichols leaves Memphis
Wow.. I forgot we played them twice, much less, beat them at their place well, we could have swept themPeteRasche wrote:Um.... We did. Remember? In Memphis?

Re: Austin Nichols leaves Memphis
Not really, Pete. He hired the lawyer to get Memphis to give him an unconditional release, which they did before the lawyer could say "I represent..." I said this might happen and it did.
The precedent has been set countless times already. The school says "you can't transfer;" then they say "you can't transfer there;" then they say "can I drive you to the airport?"
