Welcome home Lamar Butler!

[gmujim92]

His Twitter bio now reads, “Director of Player Development, George Mason University Men’s Basketball.”

Halle-freaking-lujah!

Can it be November already?

 

[Masonman]

I was waiting/watching for this thread!

Great news! It’s a great place for Lamar to start on Tony’s staff.

We now have Tony Lamar and Folarin helping out the program. Sounds good to me!

 

[JPgmuswim]

Now hopefully Lamar can help us with some future PVI kids choosing to stay home at Mason.

 

[Pikapppatri8]

Oh yes oh yes sir. This is looking real good.

 

[Enforcer]

Heck yeah - awesome stuff!!!

 

[Mason32]

Love Lamar but hard to forget his comments during the Hewitt era, he really went at fans who criticized Hewitt's coaching abilities. Hopefully he's grown up since then

I need a minute.

Now that we have a lot of wind at our sail/momentum/fans are pleased with the athletics moves?

Maybe we can create a monument park outside the Arena and have George Evans as the first monument. People have chitter chattered about retiring his jersey or doing something for him.

Might want to figure out what we’re doing with an arena first.

Remind me what happened.

Seeing Tony and Lamar on the bench and Folarin in the Gold Room will be surreal

That just showed that he was loyal to the HC.

And, looking back, some of us took it too far. While I was not the creator of the flying penis (Free Jollay!) meme, it and many of my memes were in poor taste.

Welcome back, Lamar.

Let's get Will here after he is done with playing ball in Europe.

Would be awesome if the ‘06 team could create their own magic as coaches. I’m excited and from what I’ve seen thus far…possible.

I’ve always joked that the big uncarved rock outside EB should be a statue of GE.

This is actually a solid idea, given that one of the excuses for not having a basketball HOF is that there's no space left inside EBA to put it.

Might want to figure out what we’re doing with an arena first.

But yes, we need a holistic facilities plan first.

Outside of the obvious 06/alum connection, Lamar is a very solid addition to the staff and we are lucky he wasn’t given an opportunity sooner elsewhere.

Experience with Team Takeover over the last several years and coaching at PVI should pay dividends now and in the future, not just with kids he coached, but with the connections he made with opposing players and coaches within the WCAC, VISAA, EYBL circuit.

Fantastic resource to have.

With Lamar in the house, maybe now we’ll actually land Paul VI kids unlike FKE

Ben Hammond
Isaiah Abraham
Patrick Ngongba
Jaquan Womack

If we get any of those 4, Lamar deserves a raise

I’d take Deshawn Harris-Smith next year if he decides to “portal” too
