Hard for me to say anything good about that story, given that it was written by the same bastard that called us all a bunch of racists after Double Live Cuonzo bolted for Cal.

If you read between the lines, it's easy to see the subtext in everything Barnes says in that piece. For example:

"When you start seeing them doing what you're saying, the details, and they start coaching themselves," Barnes says, "that's when it's fun."

Translation: "I work my ass for years and that SOB Hardaway just walks right in with his NBA staff and gets a mid-major job right away? DAMMIT, IT'S NOT FAIR!"

Tennessee opened a new team lounge in September, and the feature most associated with its head coach is an old-school arcade cabinet.

"I love Golden Tee [Golf]. That's mine," Barnes says of the game in which he enthusiastically and frequently challenges his players.


Translation: "I bet Penny has two or three Golden Tee games- not just one. Those NBA bastards get anything they want."

When he returns to Thompson-Boling Arena, Barnes notices that his parking space near the entrance is occupied.

"You know what, I never do this," he says before creating his own spot next to the curb.


Translation: "NBA guys don't have to deal with this bullshizzle. (balls fists) I'll bet Penny parks anywhere the hell he wants".
