So many personal attacks… I’m not sure why you’re so angry at me

UCLA4EVER... I really like you and think you are a good person Baskets is also a good person who is very frustrated with the coaching and the players.

I have been repeatedly attacked by Evan because I don't agree with him but thankfully he has backed off and I have even given him a like on a comment he made.

We all have super strong opinions but we all love UCLA and I hope we can at least be respectful to each other regardless of our views on what the issues are on our team and with coaching.

💙💛

Hello Tamara. I have always tried to be respectful of all opinions but I must respectfully disagree with your thoughts about Baskets. I do not know why you think he is a "good" person--do you know him personally or like the rest of us, just by his words? That being said, I read his comments about "hating" Cronin, Howland and others and IMHO that is not what a "good" person says. You can opine about a coach's abilities or lack thereof but that is far different from expressing hate towards someone. The thing that broke the camel's back for me is when he posted he would be "excited" to see all the players leave the program--something, that would be disastrous to UCLA athletics. To me, this goes beyond "opinion", this is just plain nasty spirited, and needs to be called out, nothing less. That is why I told him I would be "excited" for him to leave the comment board. I guess we will just need to agree to disagree.

Thanks so much for your thoughtful response I do value your perspective and yes, if all the players left it would be disastrous and I would never ever want that to happen. I have never met Baskets or Evan, so you are correct, I truly don't know them. I guess I believe that Baskets deep down means well and cares despite the harshness of his comments. Much love 💙💛

Tamara, Baskets is a little bit of an internet troll. He rarely shows up on wins, but always shows up on losses to talk crap. This season has sucked, that's for sure. Hopefully next season is much better.
