But why assume he is wrong? Why not start from a neutral position until we hear more. In our society people tend to want to blame someone. In this case we dont know as such we shouldn't assume.

That's my point, we just dont know.
If we just posted things we know, and not assumptions or opinions, there wouldn't be much to read on these forums.

Exactly. There are people posting in this very thread, lecturing others about certain things, that wished to fire Shaka Smart and wanted some dude named Russ Springmann as our head coach back in 2010. I’ll do everyone a favor and not link that 2010 thread I was just perusing.

Kind of like a “I can jump to conclusions, but you cannot” sorta thing, depending on the subject matter.

Interesting read through some threads from FEB 2011 that's for sure. Did not remember who wanted Shaka fired in year 2, also see a lot of usernames I forgot about.

Someone posted a lengthy email he sent to Norwood following our loss in the CAA tournament demanding that he fire Shaka and that he doesn't donate money to losing teams (how prophetic). That person recently resurfaced on Twitter demanding that Rhoades be fired (even after wins), and in my professional opinion, he is batpoop crazy.

You know things are bad when one of the Ted Heads felt the need to step in and defend VCU.

"desire for 2-way wings"...that's it...once an NBA players gets a rep for being a defensive liability...it's almost impossible to shake...he could be end being a journeyman footnote..with..a troy daniels career trajectory...
Bones isn't a wing. Every team wants two way wings, they're the most valuable type of player in the league. Saying a team is interested in another two way wing is like saying I'm interested in winning the lottery. Depending on the team it might be about as realistic. Not to say they won't trade Bones but they may not get an offer they want to accept - other front offices know he's allegedly open to being traded, which reduces the return Denver can realistically hope for.
