Was that a little dig from Wayne...

[WSUnPurple]

Why don't all of you Griz "insiders" ask Wayne yourself. Wayne said he was not happy @ Montana, and was actively trying to get out. Nobody likes to be treated 2nd fiddle when they put so much work, and have so much success into something.

Just so I'm clear:

Your position is that Wayne Tinkle, one of the greatest players in Montana history, and a guy who spent years as an assistant at Montana during some of the best years the FB team ever had prior to spending 7 years a the head coach didn't know that Montana was a football school?

Sorry. He knew that before he took the gig. Was he frustrated by it at times? NO doubt. Did he want out of Montana? NO way. The only reason he left was for professional advancement.

And you calling me odd is the greatest compliment I could ever receive.

Im not so sure you could be Clear on anything Everett. Plenty of posters get it on this thread, contrary to what you believe in your foggy little mind.

I took you up on this and spoke directly to Wayne. His comments concerning basketball not being on the same level as football at the University of Montana was to show that he knows what he is facing coming into Oregon State where baseball and football are considered above basketball. Like the U of M there is a basketball history that he want to re-introduce to the players and fans. He also said OSU approached him. The University of Montana and the Missoula Community have been his and his families home for a very long time. His son wishes to stay in Missoula to finish out his senior year of high school (still not ruling that out). The University and the community are a big part of him and who he is today. He enjoyed his time here and has respect for the University that gave him his first head coaching position, he has great memories of the teams, the people he has worked with and the community. His move to Oregon State provides new challenges and financial security for him and his family. Now let's put this post to rest, it's time has come.

With the exception of Robin Selvig and Chris Nord, Montana is a stepping stone to bigger jobs for coaches. Anyone who thinks differently just doesn't look at the coaching landscapes. And that isn't a bad thing, and it is never going to change. Coaches always think they could get it done at "the next level" no matter what that level is. We should be happy Wayne stayed as long as he did. He was, is and will be a great ambassador for Montana.

And I would not blame him a bit if he felt that BB was taking a back seat to football. I think it has. Can't point at any one person for it. Probably the biggest event was the hiring of Kennedy and the remodel that removed the kids from the side. Football has driven the bus for a long time.

Huh.

Why shock of all shocks, it looks as though youre the one who doesn't get it.


But then, to be fair, when have you?

Thanks Tri. Certainly your post and Tinks' response doesn't surprise anyone on this board who's not purple with jealousy, but we sincerely appreciate your leg work.

YEPPERS, that clears that up! :lol: Come on pull your heads out of the sand. What else would cause Wayne Tinkle to say "My boy will be playing for Dad, and it won't be at Montana"

 

[Mousegriz]

Because he's not coaching at Montana anymore and his son is a great prospect who he will recruit to play at the school he's coaching.

Where's Rahe son gonna play? The UFFCAA (Under Five Foot Collegiate Athletic Association)?

Purple, I will not ever believe anyone here or anywhere saying what you are saying about Wayne Tinkle's quote regarding who his son will play for unless I can see a source on it. Normally, I could care less about it, but this is different. (1) Regardless of where Wayne is coaching at, he is too professional to state anything the way you are trying to get people to believe. (2) I have known Wayne Tinkle and Larry Krystkowiak many years. I have worked countless cage and team camps for these men. I have been fortunate to know them well beyond what we all see on the court. I respect Wayne Tinkle personally and professionally more than any coach at any level. There is no way on Earth he quoted anything like you are claiming. You are twisting whatever it was he did quote. Wayne would never make that kind of negative comment against his current employer.

You or anyone can post whatever you would like. Unless you or anyone show 100% proof of a quote like that from Wayne Tinkle, myself and most of GRIZ NATION will not believe it. Myself and those who have been fortunate enough to get to know Wayne off the court will echo my sentiments 100%. By the way, any quotes he has made or will make on this subject since becoming the Oregon State coach will not be valid sources. It is entirely possible if this question were asked to him now and the near future, he would honestly say something like "Here is who we are considering." He would leave it that way, and likely Montana would not any longer be on the list. Show us the exact quote and source while he was still coaching at Montana. I will be surprised if you can do this. It does not exist!!!!

I am sure the majority of basketball egrizzers believe I have much more credibility than you. Kind of funny how we are simply asking you to provide the source, others have searched, and nothing. Hell, I've been as close as anyone to finding anything even vaguely resembling your claim on his supposed quote. You are full of it, and give other good Weber posters a bad reputation. Post crap like this during the basketball season, I am sure other Weber State fans will call you on your BS.

There is no source, try reading through the thread. It happened exactly as i have written straight from Tinkle's mouth. The fact that some of you think everything is rosy with UM's basketball program is beyond laughable. If Tinkle wants to get the hell out, what does that make of the next successful coach who doesn't have the ties to the University that Tinkle did. Peace, out.

It is not exactly as from Tinkle's mouth. Of course he wanted out after earning his stripes for a promotion he deemed worth leaving for. I am sure Rahe in time will want to challenge himself and take a job bigger and better than Weber State. Myself and a few others are not disputing that he wanted to leave for a better and bigger challenge. We are disputing your comment about the so called quote he made about where is son will play. I provided the only quote this year about what Wayne said at the time he said it about where his son will play. Since then, you have been a bigger ass than you were to start with.

If you go back and read his "answers" to the questions grizjournal asked you can see he is basically saying this was a comment made that he heard directly from Wayne's mouth, and that he will not comment where it was made.

However you would have to believe the word of a proven liar, and someone who had a proven track history against former Griz coaches. I just see a troublemaker here, always has been always will be.

For example, recently I hear Randy Rahe was very upset because he cant secure a better job. His frustration is bad. For now he is hoping that Stew retires, so he can get the USU gig.

See how that works?

Yeah, that accurately describes the people who post regularly on the basketball board. Especially citay.

Purple,
Wayne and Lisa both told me that your quote is not accurate. Yes he said he wants his son to play for him and will discuss all options with him but will not force him to play anywhere. It is his decision. They told me that Wayne never said that his son would not play at Montana and that at the tournament he was not looking to move on. He also was not looking to move on when Oregon State called. He was on the Grizzly Athletic Department tour around Montana at the time and was very actively working on next season. You can not document a source other than your memory and Wayne says it is not what he said. So let's put this thread to rest as I said before.

 

[Griz1]

I've been around Wayne since he first stepped foot on campus. I do not, believe Wayne ever made the comment attributed to him by WSUnPurple. Maybe Purple misheard him but I can assure you the statement was not made by Wayne and I will take his word for it over anyone else's. End of conversation!
