GAME 32 - OKLAHOMA (19-12) vs GEORGIA (20-11) 8:30pm CST on SEC NETWORK (the Post Season has Arrived)

[BoulderSooner]

McCollum by the way has not played for GT in the last 3 months .. he had a concussion in late November early Dec ..

 

[BoulderSooner]

Of all the games this season game 1 vs Georgia is the one where IMHO OU got jobbed by the refs ..

FT attempts were 17 - 9 fouls were 28-16 ..

every other stat OU was pretty much even or ahead ..

McCollum should have been given a bus ticket home and told to turn in his gear.
Don't think a lot of a coach who doesn't have the balls to stand up to a player and for his team.

Agreed 100%

It's hilarious how everyone is turning this into a way to bash Porter.

Another take: Toby has to walk a line as both a journalist/radio host and as the voice of the team. There are things he has to keep under his hat. Things we'll never know about the football, basketball, and baseball programs.

Wonder why he's coming out with this now? Did Porter give him permission?

Mccullen cleared and choosing not to play was discussed last year after the game and this summer on radio and message boards. Toby’s story gives credibility, but a former player on last years team said this is what happened last summer.

His player quit on him and he did nothing. What would Kelvin have done?

that player would not have been on the bench during that game ..

i will say context does matter here ..


what did McCullum say? " I am hurt i can't play ? " or something else?

Supposedly, he just showed up and said he was unavailable. Toby said his handlers got involved and talked him into not playing.

Whatever he said it pissed off PM severely. But not enough to do anything about it apparently.

And what would you have done? I'm curious.

 

[steverocks35]

And what would you have done? I'm curious.

Any player who quit on the team/coach would never see the court for me and would not be allowed to associate with the team from that moment forward. That’s unacceptable.

“Moser should have publicly shamed McCollum despite getting nothing in return except negative recruiting!”

Same people also say “moser should not publicly shame the committee for leaving his worthy team out of the tournament (for 2nd time in 3 years)!”

And what would you have done? I'm curious.

I would have hinted at it from my mouth when asked and he would no longer be associated with the team, certainly not sitting on the bench

McCollum quit. To do nothing is weak and unacceptable.

It's a slippery slope. It's easy to say that from our couches, but at the time...he didn't know if we would be left out of the tourney or not. I assume he was hoping he would play in the big dance. PM was/is fighting for his job. Comparing his situation to what Kelvin would have done back in the days where he played in a bad Big 12 league are apples and oranges to me. But it all explains (a little) why Javian didn't return. FTG

I could argue doing nothing shows strength/emotional control and understanding of the bigger picture in the NIL/era.
