😳 After being benched Kiyomi McMiller is back! | Drops 33 points | FULL STORY

[@wendy8739]

These college kids and coaches need media training especially the kids.

[@kelsawlink60]

She's dancing above the top of the key with the ball while being doubled in one of the highlights that you're showing. There's a teammate basically doing jumping jacks in the corner to bring attention to how wide open she was. I hope this isn't indicative of how their season has been up to this point.

[@tapout9742]

She and her dad are all about themselves. This is about her and her NIL deals. This is why the top schools didn’t bother with her. Great highlights but won’t make anyone around her better and won’t see an NCAA tournament

[@KCE.Sports]

[@timfoster5397]

Her teammates that jump up and down shot 8-34 for the game

[@politicallil7060]

No way she'd play on a team I'm coaching, and I feel bad for the other players who have to endure her BS because the coach is stuck catering to her. She's on Rutgers, I don't believe; because of her choice, I don't know what top-notch winning program would want to tolerate the nonsense. She is a locker room cancer and a ball hog. I didn't see many of her players rushing to congratulate her on any of those scores but one. Her teammates are some good ones because if she stays, I'm hitting the portal. It has to be a nightmare to have to watch her play and lose every game.

[@superemesean5907]

@@kelsawlink60 her teammates suck! As evident in the usc loss 😭🤣 pls be quiet and let us enjoy this! Yo white self wasn’t saying this about Caitlyn clark when she was taking 19 shots a night.

[@brianwoods9552]

McMiller is obviously very talented but in the limited times I've seen her play she seems to embrace a "its-all-about-me" rather than a "we're-better-off-together" mentality. On the court, I see her dribbling here and there with her teammates generally standing around. Off-court, her comments speak for themselves. In case you didn't know, the NBA over the last year or two has lost half of its viewership largely due to a lot of one-on-one play and overuse of three-pointers. Assuming McMiller's game stays the same, I'm wondering how high she gets drafted. Just wondering which WNBA team would be willing to take on that much controversy/drama, especially if she's worthy of being a lottery pick.

[@anthonytaylor7928]

They drafted arike for Dallas she basically does the same thing

[@kelsawlink60]

​@@anthonytaylor7928True and both of their starting forwards made their mind to leave the team immediately after Dallas played their last game of the season. There's also speculation that the potential #1 pick doesn't want to play there. Not saying Arike the entire problem, but you can't win with that style of play.

[@ReadR00ster1]

It's the same complaint people had about player like Jordan and Kobe.

Nah..1 instance does not need to be blown up to this level they are still grown and should be treated as such. Punishment for misuse is fine. Also in the age of NIL this would mess up the bag for a lot of players to market themselves.

U can't ban social media from the players that would be against the law silly

[@mellod5615]

@anthonytaylor7928 It's extreme, but it's my opinion. Get over it. I think the NBA should do the same. I said this about nba players first. Most of them only end up getting themselves in trouble on social media. The Ja Morant and Kyrie Irving situations would never have escalated if social media use were limited or handled by a competent professional.

[@politicallil7060]

Nice if the team wins; after all, that is the purpose of playing the game. I can't stand that she would disrespect another Black woman. I don't think she would have done that to any other woman but one of color. I would never want to coach a player like her, no matter how good she plays. She may dazzy the crowd but the bottom line is she doesn't impact winning. She needs to learn her history and the struggles of women like her in this society. I'm not a fan of the disrespect of other Black women who already suffer enough.

[@howarddickersonjr.6994]

How is the coach suffering making millions of dollars to coach the game? Cut it out! This is basketball! Her suffering would be her not getting the chance to coach at all

[@petep5207]

So you are OK with her being disrespectful to a white woman----just not a black one. You effing people. What exact suffering do blk women go through that others do not. I can't wait to hear this garbage. And FYI...everyone around the entire world--the globe--agrees that blks, especially blk women, are THE most disrespectful beings you can encounter. Just look at how you treat your children and your own black men...You even take your toddlers with you when you go twerk on rstaurant tables, dine and dash and loot and shoplift....without caring whether you are arrested and they go to a foster home....Look within before you try to play victim.

[@219tfair]

Good thing dad stepped in! Her hypeman that was talking out his neck needs to go! He is messing up the money and future for this young lady! At 18, you can expect some clashing. Candace Parker and Pat Summit bumped heads and look at how things turned out! Besides, none of the top 5 programs will allow her to shoot that many shots no matter the talent level of the other players! She would have ended up bouncing around from school to school and that NIL money getting lower and lower! She is in the right spot in a prime market and position to showcase what she can do! She has to understand that not many coaches have her best interests because it could have easily turned into a back and forth.

[@gradeafun]

I don't know what happened, but coaches are NOT always right orbeing fair and just. At the same token, players aren't always right and are sometimes in their feelings. Part of me feels like coaches are no longer able to be abrasive or be as dismissive to players concerns, especially "star" players. The days of coaches making promises to get players to a school and then treating them any ol' kind of way is on the decline, I don't know if that's the case so i can't have a true opinion about the right or wrong in this case. Hopefully they can figure it out, because people are quick to label a player a problem when there is a chance the coach or other players may be just as problematic without consequence...

I heard McMiller is not on social media, and her page is most likely being managed for her. She is low-key on and off the court and not one to cause issues.

[@cornellwatts5939]

I don't like the assumption that she actually did something that warranted being sat for a game. I was an assistant coach for a women's college team & coaches are NOT always right & do NOT always act in the best interests of the team. IMHO, that only hurt the team/school. Let's remember that the team hasn't won a single conference game & that's on THE COACH. There's always 2 or 3 sides to a story & we didn't even get details to 1 side. My prediction is that she hits the portal AND the coach gets fired because the team is going nowhere fast. I also don't believe in a coach pushing their religious beliefs on players. The team is NOT a part of your ministry. It's a JOB. Each player has their own right to religious freedom.

[@219tfair]

She didn’t push her religious beliefs. Coach Washington played where McMiller will be playing 3 years from now! Coach Washington actually did her a favor by keeping things in house after McMiller showed how immature she is and how much growth she needs! The WNBA had guards just as good as McMiller and what isn’t understood is that if you carry a bad reputation, you don’t get opportunities to play in the W! That’s why her father stepped in and reminded everyone there is a plan!!

[@sprtsfn2578]

I think the coach mishandled the issue.

[@cornellwatts5939]

@219tfair Her coach quoted another coach who said he handles his job as coach as his ministry. They're DEFINITELY pushing religious beliefs. This is reminiscent of how the San Antonio Spurs messed up with Dennis Rodman, which is when he started acting out.

[@219tfair]

@ No. listen to what she said. Nothing about religion. She compared approaches on correction, discipline, and approach on dealing with student athletes. She said nothing about God or a ministry! Stop making this about something it isn’t.

[@ReadR00ster1]

All the developing young women stuff is nice and all, but that is not why McMiller agreed to go there. She went there to ball out and raise the level of the basketball program by being on the floor. All that other stuff she can get from her own people, pastor, parental figures, etc... She doesn't need the coach to be THAT person for her.
