Archie Goodwin recently spoke about the reasons he cut Texas, Missouri, and Baylor…and he definitely hasn’t seen Bull Durham on how to give an interview….
[I]Why not Texas?
[/I]
[INDENT][I]“I did away with Texas simply because I didn’t feel like my relationship was strong enough with Coach [Rick] Barnes. I can see myself playing for Texas but I didn’t feel comfortable with him as my coach.”[/I][/INDENT][I]And Missouri?
[/I]
[INDENT][I]“I talked to the assistant coaches all the time.[/I][URL=”http://www.mutigers.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/fuller_tim00.html”][/URL][I] Coach Tim Fuller is one of the coolest assistant coaches I’ve ever known, but as far as the head coach, I really didn’t know his name. I couldn’t tell you the head coach’s name. He talked to me on the phone, but Tim was the one that mostly called.”[/I][/INDENT][I]And Baylor?
[/I]
[INDENT][I]“Coach Scott Drew is a great guy. I love Coach Drew. They were one of the first schools that were recruiting me. But I didn’t like that they were an adidas team, but that’s not to say I wouldn’t go to Kansas because Kansas is a great team. I can look over the adidas thing – I own some adidas stuff. I didn’t like their colors, either. I don’t like green and gold. That’s ugly …. When you got ugly colors like that, you gotta be Nike. …. Baylor has some ugly shoes, too.”[/I]
