Southern Illinois coach Barry Hinson regrets singling out one of his players in
a postgame diatribe that has gone viral.
Tim Williams Ravens Jersey . And thats about
it. After the Salukis 73-65 loss at Murray State on Tuesday night, Hinson called
his players "uncoachable," "a bunch of mamas boys" and compared the disciplining
of his young team to housebreaking a puppy. Hinson also called starting point
guard Marcus Fillyaw "absolutely awful." "It was wrong of me to single out a
specific player. I apologized to Marcus and team. I stand by the rest of my
comments. Go Dawgs!" Hinson tweeted Wednesday ahead of a regularly scheduled
news conference. Athletic director Mario Moccia did not immediately respond to
messages from The Associated Press. Long known for being blunt, Hinson appeared
calm at the start of his news conference after the Salukis (2-8) lost their
fourth straight game. He became more wound up the longer he discussed a
performance in which his team shot 42 per cent, committed 18 turnovers and were
out-rebounded 40-29. "They wont let me coach them," Hinson said. "Any time I
coach somebody they put their head down. Were soft. Weve been enabled for
whatever reason. I got a bunch of mamas boys right now. And we just wont buck up
and bow our necks, and weve got to get through that." Hinson added, "Im tired of
coaching a guy and having him roll his eyes, or put his head down or feel sorry
for himself. Im tired of that. This is big time. ... Weve got men and women
serving our country. They dont get to take days off. Were going to college and
getting it paid for." Several media outlets reported that senior centre Davante
Drinkard later tweeted, "I cant believe the little man had the nerve to call us
mamas boys. Smh. I guess this is where Our team learns to point the finger." The
tweet was removed, according to media reports. As of Wednesday afternoon,
Drinkards Twitter account was allowing access only to confirmed followers.
Fillyaw was scoreless with three fouls, two turnovers and one assist in 14
minutes. "Marcus was absolutely awful," Hinson said. "Thats about as PG-rated as
I can say it. He was awful. Our guards were awful. Our three starting guards had
one assist and seven turnovers. They must think its a tax credit. Its
unbelievable how our starting guards played." Hinson added, "We made three
turnovers tonight where we just came down and threw them the ball. I swear I
thought one time that one of our players said, Merry Christmas." Hinson also
blasted his big men, who combined to go 2 for 11. "My wife can score more than
two buckets on 11 shots, because I know my wife will at least shot-fake one
time," Hinson said, his voice rising. "But those guys arent listening. Theyre
uncoachable right now." Hinson suggested that he will make a point of having his
players do push-ups or run on a treadmill if they dont do as theyre told. "To
me, when youve got a young team, its a lot like house training a puppy dog,"
Hinson said, rolling up a piece of paper and swatting the table in front of him.
"You know what, when the dog does something wrong, Bad dog. Well, Im not going
to hit em. Im not going to swat em. But, Bad dog, get on the treadmill. Thats
probably what we need to do." Hinson, 52, is in his second season at Southern
Illinois. He went 14-17 after inheriting a program hamstrung by academic
problems and personnel issues. He had spent the previous four seasons in an
administrative position with the Kansas basketball program. Before that, he had
been head coach at Missouri State and Oral Roberts. Hes 221-165 in 13 seasons as
a head coach.
