I enjoyed coaching HS and college hoops. I’m glad I got out of coaching those levels when my kids were young. I am not interested in doing it again. I doubt that will ever change.

There is no rebuilding the bridge. That ship has sailed. However you want to phrase it, nothing done by either side can recover what was lost. Time to move on.
Eddie just needs to move on too. Stop posting about the team he abandoned at such a pivotal time in such a way that it could not be reversed.

What are you talking about can't be reversed? Two individuals sit down and hash it out. It happens every day.
Will it happen here? I don't know. But can it? Sure, it's a conversation away.

I for one hope they can mend fences. I love that kid, but he’s got to get it together.
Yeah…its not just ”two” is the problem.

This will be about him and his teammates if he can mend things with Dixon. What he did to his teammates is far worse IMO.

OUCH!!!
This is what lost me. Why would Dixon send the text about the transfer portal dates if he and momma Lampkin didn't talk?
Is that text really from Dixon? If it is, then who did Dixon talk too? Is momma Lampkin lying about things?
What am I missing here?
No no no, all Eddie said is Jamie’s a racist and possibly the worst person in the world who makes life not worth living. . . He never said he didn’t want to play for the guy, come on, now.

I think those texts were from an asst. coach.

Me either. I'm sure there are a few out there, the usual suspects, feigning outrage, but I haven't seen much at all from the major media sources. A little bit surprised to be honest.

Looks like the coach, staff and team are just taking care of business. Dixon pre- and post-game looked upbeat, focus is on the team and the tasks at hand. I am sure they miss their teammate and care about him, but there doesn't seem to now be any distractions. I think there was for the OU game.

CNN did the usual wokism headline screaming racism, then prints that the parents and other coaches of color saying they’ve never heard a hint of it ever out of JD’s mouth.

Wow I haven't been to that site in years but it's a disaster, at least on mobile. I clicked sports and it had sections on the page for golf, football, and "US sports". There was no obvious way to get to college basketball so I searched for Dixon and then Lampkin with no relevant results.

REPORT: Eddie Lampkin steps away from TCU basketball
REPORT: Eddie Lampkin steps away from TCU basketball . By Jamie Plunkett Frogs Today senior writer (This story has been updated from its original version) KANSAS CITY - What originally seemed Basketball Frogs Todayfrogstoday.com
By Jamie Plunkett
Frogs Today senior writer
KANSAS CITY – Eddie Lampkin Jr. has stepped away from TCU basketball to deal with personal matters, team officials confirmed to Frogs Today on Wednesday.
Lampkin did not travel with the team to Kansas City, as the Frogs prepare for the Big 12 Conference tournament, which kicks off Wednesday evening.
TCU’s tournament run begins Thursday night at 8:30 p.m., against 3-seed Kansas State.
The sophomore missed time earlier this season for personal reasons as well.
Lampkin has started 51 games over the past two seasons for the Horned Frogs, averaging 5.7 points and 5.3 rebounds per game over the course of his career.
Lampkin had been dealing with ankle issues for the bulk of conference play this year, after suffering a high ankle sprain in the first half of TCU’s 83-60 win over Kansas on January 21st.
He has also been dealing with another injury that kept him out in TCU’s regular season finale against Oklahoma.
In his multiple absences since, Xavier Cork and JaKobe Coles have been called upon to play significant minutes at center. While both have been effective offensively, TCU has struggled defensively and on the boards – two staples of their game that coach Jamie Dixon and his staff have emphasized for years.
This is a developing story, and we will keep you updated.

Eddie Lampkin will be used as an example of what can go wrong with NIL, and he is vulnerable to becoming just another example of wasted talent.
Lampkin could have been one of those college players who would be welcome at his alma mater forever, instead he will leave in disgrace, and disappointment.
The team was tired of him. The athletic department had had it with him.
Although he had NIL money exceeding six figures, according to sources his priority was more NIL deals. And he was not happy about playing time.
It was hard to justify that much more playing time for a player who stopped working, and acted as if he was better than his production.
He is talented. He isn’t talented enough to be lazy.
