Compare apples to apples. Stop using irrelevant examples. Sit and be quiet x 2.

Points?! This kid underperformed. Whatever she produced at indoor NCAAs was overshadowed by her choke job at outdoors. Petros is it in the business on hugs and cuddles. For better or worse he is in the cut throat business and that does have a shelf life.

Troll.

Except Tara did choke. Georgia would have won NCAA indoors even without Tara - they won by more points than Tara scored.

Tara blew it at NCAA's outdoors. If she scored one more point, Georgia would have been team champs. Tara did not even come close to matching her high school PRs in LJ or 100h.

Texas hired Oregon softball head coach, Mike White pretty much the same time they hired Floreal. From October to December, six of the Ducks' players decided to transfer for the Spring semester. Four of them elected to transfer to Texas to rejoin their former head coach; all of them will be eligible to compete for Texas immediately this season. Classy move by Oregon to give these student-athletes their full release, especially given the circumstances of Coach White having left Oregon to coach at Texas.

Petros will be better off than ever. Now people know he means business and only the most committed athletes will pick Georgia.

Divas and drama queens and quitters can go to Texas.

Your probably right. Seems like it is a good thing she left. 3 time all Americans choking happens all the time.

Long jumps 22'3.75 in high school

long jumps 21'3.25 at NCAA's

doesn't make hurdle final

If that isn't a choke, I don't know what is.

If she jumped 21'11 she would have won, and the team would have won

Lol I think you are actually hurting your case.

I’ll let everyone else point out your flaw to this thinking. Hookem

Not really. Look at Petros' history with athletes in championships... they compete.

As a matter of fact, one set a PR and American Record in the Olympic Final.

lol

Tara’s dad and everyone else: it’s over, case closed and drama over. Please move on and let Georgia be Georgia with the coach that made them great and Tara be Tara with Texas / Flo. Nothing else there to argue or fight for. Georgia is a great program and will continue to be that. Tara is a great athlete and she will continue to develop and be great. Those are facts. Goodnight.

Wait, so you mean it actually is all about the competitive balance between the two schools this season that determines whether a waiver to the one year transfer rule will be granted or denied?

Told ya so.

For the record, Edrick is a terrible coach. I'm happy Tara will be happier at Texas, but this is a big downgrade in coaching. Petros has a masters degree in exercise science and biomechanics.

If Tara wants more attention, she isn't going to get it at Texas with Floreal spending the majority of his time with the pro athletes he coaches.

You consider Coach Flo to be a technical coach, a technician? Compared to the other coaches that were available to her?

No, they left to go play for the coach that recruited them, much different situation. Just sit and be quiet

Like hell I'll be quiet.

Those four Oregon softball transfers to Texas (6 overall) definitely hurt Oregon's program for this Spring; but, the school and new head coach didn't deny the full release.

A coach either has class, or they don't. Petros restricting which schools he'd release her to is also shameful.

Bite me.

You don't get to decide what I post on here. I'm just getting started on Petros. I am relentless, so don't waste your time challenging me.

Counting the days until 2019 signee, Jasmine Moore sees Petros' true colors and decides to leave, too.

Ok Mr. internet tough guy, crawl back in your hole.

Ok genius. Don’t think there is more honest and straight forward coach than Petros in the ncaa. Jasmine is a serious athlete with goals and great work ethic. Petros has had great ones in the past and will have great ones in the future. Tara wasn’t a good fit for Georgia and Georgia wasn’t good fit for Tara.

You obviously don't understand why the transfer portal was created , and how it works.

The portal was created so that student-athletes could enter their names as candidates to transfer, without any of their current coaches or school officials TRYING TO BLOCK AND PREVENT their ability to transfer to another school. It was created to HELP the student-athlete have a bit more leverage with their options, regardless of the reason for their transfer.

The portal took effect on 10/15/2018. So, for those (like you) who keep asking why certain student-athletes "waited" until during the Fall semester to decide to transfer, it was to utilize the options provided by this new portal. The NCAA chose this date for their own reasons. It did not exclude those student-athletes whose sport competed in the Spring. It was for ALL student-athletes in all sports.

Student-athletes from across the country in all sports have utilized this new transfer portal beginning last October; it is their right, and as long as they follow the rules of the portal, they are allowed to enter their name AT ANY TIME now. Coaches still have the option to not grant a full release, and there are still some existing rules in certain sports (football, men's and women's hoops, and baseball) where there is a mandatory sit-out year for any transfer. Also, there are intra-conference rules which still apply for anyone wanting to transfer to a school within their conference.

So, Petros decided not to grant Tara a full release; I'm sure he's not the only one who has chosen this route. Conversely, plenty of coaches and programs have granted full releases. Several have even waived the intra-conference transfer rules (seen that in softball among PAC 12 schools already). The head coach has a choice as to the conditions, if any, which they place on outgoing student-athlete transfers; that's on them. How they handle these transfers will definitely have an impact on future recruiting as parents of prospective recruits pay attention to how a coach handles delicate matters like this.

Aside from the four transfers who decided to follow Coach White to Texas, there 2 other Oregon players who decided to transfer to Ole Miss and UL-Lafayette. So, your argument holds no water.

Different sports different situations different timing. Either you don’t know both sides or you are Tara, her dad or her boyfriend and trying to continue the drama.
