It goes without saying that Wayne Tinkle leaves @BeaverMBB as one of the more beloved coaches in recent history in any sport at OSU. Not so much for wins and losses, but for the way he carried himself, the way he treated people, the way he ran a clean program. And in the end, the way he sustained player losses, hit the portal and got back to work. A man I have great respect for.

I’m sorry, but not one post thanking Coach Tinkle? This just keeps getting worse. What a PR nightmare this athletic department is.

[Tres Tinkle @tres_tinkle3]

When the Director of Athletics meets with the team before the conference tournament and tells them to be a bunch of individuals and to only focus on themselves for portal opportunities, it’s obvious he’s afraid of the abilities inside that entire locker room..

Kerry, as always, hits the nail on the head and connects the dots that many Beaver faithful in The Lodge @BeaverBlitz are discussing. #GoBeavs

I'm not shocked at the dismissal of Wayne Tinkle as @BeaverMBB coach -- just at the timing.
Less than a week ago, in my story with AD Scott Barnes, I asked about Tinkle's status. His response: "He and I are talking and evaluating. We will make a decision at the end of the year. That is all I can say."
What changed? Since our interview, the Beavers are 2-0 with wins over Pepperdine and San Diego. Barnes left the option of whether Tinkle will coach the finale vs. Santa Clara & the WCC tourney to Wayne. So why not wait til after those games to make the move?
Coincidentally, @BelligeBeavs have been on the prowl about Barnes, Brent Blaylock and the Blueprint Sports fiasco. The Belligerent Beavs posted results from a public records request they purchased. The search produced text messages that plot a very different course than Barnes would have had you believe when Blueprint was hired to handle OSU's NIL duties last summer. Those texts make it look like Barnes backstabbed Dam Nation operator Kyle Bjornstad in the process.
Could the timing of Tinkle's dismissal be subterfuge on Barnes' part to divert the news cycle? You be the judge.
