With the Texas A&M Aggies men's basketball team sitting at 7-10 overall and 1-5 in SEC play, nobody is under the illusion that the season is going well. But we got another bit of bad news last night as assistant basketball coach Isaac Chew tendered his resignation.
Based on the statements, it seems this departure is more for personal reasons than it is for anything related to the team's performance.
A series of tweets from Honesty48998331 appears to allegedly out Chew...Buzz may have figured this out a few years ago and asked Chew to leave VT instead of him firing him publicly.
@CoachChew I'm sure @TAMU wouldn't be pleased to learn Isaac Chew utilizes @aggiembk funds to visit his mistresses. Are these the ethical beliefs of your Basketball team/University?— Honestly Speaking (@Honesty48998331) November 23, 2018

Ouch.
From the looks of it, I doubt Kennedy is there much longer.
FWIW, Buzz would be close to the top of A&M's wish list.
And leave the number one basketball conference?
I certainly hope not.
Especially being in the best conference helps come March because your not likely to see Duke, unc, or uva early in the tourney.
Every year, there seems to be one school that Buzz is a prime contender for. He was rumored to have significant interest in all three of these:
Last year, it was Ohio St but they ended up with Butlers Holttman. They had the money to get Buzz, but Holttman ($7.1m) is an excellent coach in his own right.
The year before, it was Okie St but they went cheap ($1.1m) with Boynton after Underwood bailed (baled?).
The year before that, it was TCU but they went with an alum in Dixon.
So aTm makes a bunch of sense this year for Buzz, but someone else may make more sense or they made hold their cash for Jimbo or an alum may be the preference. And done if the Buzz Buzz was about Chew and Reynolds already being there.
It certainly won't be a question of money. Texas A&M has money to blow.
So does Okie St and they went super cheap with Boynton. And I think they even had Underwood buyout money coming their way. Not sure what was left on Fords contract
Does Shaka survive another year at Texas? That is the job I'd be most worried about. I think Texas Tech coach Chris Beard would be a candidate too (alumnus).
Chew is on the bench tonight. When is his resignation effective?
Man! That's a tough situation to Chew oneself out of....
Looks like our coaching tree is...
ugh there should have been a funny way to end that statement
...planting seeds where they shouldn't.
Bravo, that's the ticket
Pollinating other gardens
Walking softly but carrying a big stick.
Maybe not softly enough...
Sewing the seeds of love.
Sounds like he could've bitten off more than he can....oh, never mind.
