Correct. Bottom-Feeder vs. Scum Sucker... sounds about right. (Nah... I'm not bitter!)

I'm hindsight, though, I"m glad that FKE is doin' it elsewhere but here. He suckered me and Mason Nation pretty good.

Not taking sides here, but we only heard one side of the story. Was there more that had been said earlier?
Racist? Crazy? Yeah, hard to tell. Crazy doesn't seem to fit the situation nor the anger. But racist takes this to a whole new level.
It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

If I had to guess, FKE is feeling the pressure and his emotions are getting the best of him.

Essentially from the film, he went at the referee and you could tell he was saying "Thats racist, thats racist".

Kim explains his side of the story at the press conference about the two technicals he got. One was for his coaches standing, the other was for murmuring about a missed call. Was there something else said with the ref that caused Kim to say "that's racist that's racist?" I'm not really sure. Is Kim just feeling pressure and frustration and it got the best of him? Maybe. Oddly enough he explained it pretty calmly at the press conference.

Either way, he is fined, having a really rough go of it, and its making our time with Tony that much sweeter since Kim is not our guy anymore.

I think we really dodged a bullet here with this guy. Something about him is just a little off in how he carries himself. Professionally and personally...I think he is really 2 faced. From my observations....he says what you want to hear versus who he really is behind closed doors. He doesn't take much accountability for things when they go wrong, blames other circumstances or people in general for the wrong doings.

Deflecting responsibility is a bad sign for the type of character of a person. I remember seeing some awkward moments with his players, especially when they messed up in practice or games - (him aggressively yelling, grabbing them, etc.). I think he has some really big/high standards type of personality and for himself and really doesn't know how to communicate that properly in his professional life.

Dude definitely needs to seek anger management and therapy. Especially if he's dropping the race card just because he's upset. That's a big problem if he's casually calling someone a racist with no merit or evidence to concretely back it up. In his mind he may think it's acceptable to yell that out once he has hit rock bottom. Bottom line...You don't call someone a racist just because.... you better be able to back that up with evidence.

Thinking this guy is a ticking time bomb, we've only seen a peek into what he's truly like.

Will be interesting to hear the other side and the investigations info.

He’s simply not a good coach on any level. He is not and never was equipped with the temperament, intelligence, work ethic, or talent to be a successful head basketball coach.

He was gifted an amazing contract that was not warranted in the least. He thought his shit didn’t stink and that being a great head coach was inevitable. WRONG.

Tony Skinn’s success is the kind of success English thought he would have. Tony Skinn is the Nio English thought he was.


As far as ability, English is Commodus. Tony Skinn is Maximus Decimus Meridius.

"The major headline of the game, however, was not the La Salle victory, but rather the end-of-game temper tantrum on the Patriots bench.

With 13 seconds left to play and La Salle up six points, George Mason head coach Kim English was ejected from the game after being issued two technical fouls arguing a missed foul call. He had to be physically restrained from the referees by his assistant coaches, and arena security helped escort him off the court. The three minutes from the start of the outburst to the pause in the game it caused left the crowd fired up."

I was at this game. He lost his mind because of fouls not being called but it wasnt like his outburst he just had. He had a right to be mad about the fouls not being called as our guys got hammered.
