kid has talent but not sure he would be the right fit for us. i do know one thing for sure if you are playing for the name on the back of your jersey instead of the name on the front you won't last long with buzz.

Rumor I saw was that Dixon told Lampkin "I own you".

Sounds like a coach on a power-trip. Insensitive given the context, but also a bit less on the nose than "slaves obey your masters."

edit - from Lampkin's now deleted insta, a conversation between him and an assistant coach:

If Dixon is "racist" then what about the rest of his players? None of them seem to have an issue. Dixon perhaps is discriminating but it doesn't seem likely it's based on race.

I'm guessing he wouldn't be an Academic All American if we took him

Maybe he's stronger in math and science than writing ?

Totally agree. Addressing mental issues is undervalued in our society and it can be very frustrating to try to help others if they don't think they need help. I'm not in any way saying that's the case here. I have no idea.

Dixon has been coaching for a long time. All of this seems to be more about the kid than the coach.

Seems like TCU did just fine without Lampkin last night. Beat a really good KSt team by double digits.

Even if this whole ordeal didn't happen I don't think would take him. Not a fit for our system IMO.

Dixon is a former TCU player and a grad. He will be there unless he wants to leave.

Which he did. UCLA just couldn't afford him.

Nobody feels creepy sharing texts of these kids? They are real people, I'm sure none of us would like anyone doing that to us.

He and his mom shared the texts on social media.

So Buzz recruited him and offered him? That maybe changes the picture a bit.

Attempting to blowup his team and publicly releasing private messages exchanged between staff and his family probably changes the picture A LOT. Buzz isn't bringing that into the lockerroom

I heard they were running 5 on 5 drills with coaches coaching both teams. Dixon was coaching opposite team and they were up and Dixon told the other squad "I/We own you." This is normal trash / jesting talk. If true, this context deescalates the entire deal.

Totally see your point and agree but he must have seen something he liked because he's selective about who he offers . Probably has totally changed after recent events tho.

Psychological issues can first show themselves at this age. Remember Thomas Johnson? Not something to play around with, and honestly, I don't see why Buzz would introduce this kind of kid into his perfectly developed basketball culture.

Maybe Buzz could help him?
