Yes, a coach replacing the players he loses is a familiar process in college basketball.


Do you have a point here?

Yes he does have a point. And I think you probably know what his point is

That UTEP has 9 seniors leaving after this season, and with the 5/3 rule long gone, Tim Floyd is replacing these players?


Seriously, what is the point?

Nothing against Tim, I always liked him.....just sayin' looks a lot like his first year with the good guys.

By the way how does a program end up with 9 seniors on a 13 man roster...

Transfers, injuries, redshirts. These are the big 3.

I was thinking the same thing and yes it is the same one
Tyler Junior College - 2009-10 Men's Basketball Rosters

He'll have 2 or 3 of these guys by the time next season starts. Sounds like a pretty solid strategy

Isn't Malcolm Moore from Iowa City?

Yes, that is where I heard that name.

It was the 5/8 rule and it was called by many......wait for it......"THE TIM FLOYD RULE!"

That's the super-secret hidden point that the OP was trying to make. :smile:

5/8, thanks for clarification. Still, that rule hasn't been a rule for awhile now.

It's been over a decade now since TF coached here. Why is his name still brought up in something that has absolutely nothing to do with ISU?
