Basnight's Twitter

What a checking out from reality. Basnight has now decided to stop "covering" UW hoops and will be "investigating" who Cohen and Hopkins are as people in an attempt to expose the "underbelly" of the NCAA.

Nothing against Hopkins or Cohen. I blame others. My role going forward is to flesh out who they are, which I hope to do.

Thanks to all of the nice people I've met and worked with covering @UW_MBB and who supported "Talking Hoops". I must take a new direction

Further proof that the firing of Romar was an inside job performed by certain boosters who are now holding the UW AD hostage.

I remember when he ran the rivals UW hoops site. At ot's peak, there were only about 10 people who posted and one was an Arizona guy who just trolled him nonstop. The guy's avatar was him pissing on some statue on ASU's campus.

why are all these people like Basnight and Landon and Greynalds so fucking upset that the team is trying to not finish 11th out of 12 anymore?

I seriously don't get the frustration these people have with this change....unless...unless they're reading the sports pages upside down!!!

Grinolds has seemed sort of even-keeled on the whole thing I thought. I look forward to guys like Basnight tweeting about Missouri hoops, whining about how that could have been us, ignoring that Romar would have simply missed the tournament the year after next anyway.

Grinolds saw the tide turning and went with it. He was just as nuts as Basnight 3 weeks ago, and was saying "it doesn't matter what these people think because Romar is 100% coming back" a week before Romar was fired.

People like Basnight and that other clown who ripped his UW sticker off his car as a sign of protest are the definition of idiots ...

It was NEVER about whether Romar was a good guy or not. If it was, he would have been here forever if he could have coached at an average level. You don't go 15 years at a school without having good job security even in your average years.

But Romar's problem was that he went from average/good to being bad or abysmal ...

Anybody that can't rationalize why Romar was fired I guarantee you will find them to not be successful in life ... you can't fail to meet expectations 6 straight years and expect that people will just brush that stuff under the rug.

The more I hear this "Romar's like the Godfather" to the Seattle hoops community just makes me want to bang my head against the wall repeatedly ... it's a massive sign of disrespect to Vito Corleone and most certainly Michael Corleone.

exactly...because, as we all know, even Kim's a good guy (allegedly).

It's almost like Grinolds is a puppet for the AD. After defending Romar non stop the past couple of years, he finally admitted a week ago that "Lorenzo isn't the long term answer."

Basnight is so upset about the under belly of the NCAA and the likelihood of "shady" boosters buying out Romar's contract, but is fine with making Porter's dad an assistant solely for getting the kids at UW?

Jen Cohen traveled to Moscow as a 15 year old under the cover of a international band camp. In fact, she met with Putin and put into motion the destruction of a fine man like Coach Romar.

I really can't even begin to comprehend the brains of these people that are, honest to fuck, dismayed that Romar was fired.

UW has paid Romar around $20 million dollars in salary and add on: housing allowances, free cars, golf memberships, clothing/apparel deals, broadcaster deals, and now $3.2 million to walk away.

But for these people you think we shot him in his knee in the backyard and left him to die. It's seriously fucked up.

Ironical ... isn't it?
