Does this mean we can expect to see the Buffs recruiting Australia hard.

There is talent down there.

We should be able to outrecruit St. Mary's.

Noice! Let’s throw another shrimp an tha baabie!

Welcome back Nate

 

[MarkW]

Was there a vacancy on the MBB coaching staff?

 

[Darth Snow]

fantastic news. He's someone who won't mince words when words need to be said. Not often a season defining speech starts with "we aren't that good."

Also, now he can't drive me insane by randomly trying trick passes.

He's a coaching INTERN.

I was always a big Tomlinson fan, and the team was better with him on the floor. His D at the end to win the P12 championship was clutch. Great Buff and glad to have him back!

I think it also says a lot about Tad and Nate that, despite them butting heads a lot (and sometimes loudly), they developed this sort of player/coach relationship. For Tad, it's very cool that he's not afraid of conflict and doesn't want "yes men" filling his staff.

 

[BuffAlum2007]

Is he going to be a Graduate Assistant or is this a full-time gig?

or the 35 foot 3-ball attempts.

Happy to hear Tomlinson will be back! One of the more memorable Buffs for sure.

So this is a pretty open secret (in fact, I think @YngC may have posted about it in the past) but immediately after Nate graduated, Tad tried to get him to come back on the staff. Tad and Nate fought a lot, but there was a lot of genuine respect there, and it speaks to how much of a badass that Tad is that he's willing to put people who challenge him on his staff.

Glad to have him on board. Seems to have a real passion for the game.

What did they fight about?

Both are very headstrong. And Nate liked to do plays that caused both Tad & @Darth Snow to have seizures.

I'm starting to think DBT has those every damn Rockies game.

Oh ... they weren't the only ones. But there's no arguing that he wasn't a tenacious and effective defensive player.

That's just his "reverse jinx/karma/psychology" strategy. Or something.
