    hilarious title... gotta love the fact that "badass" passes the filter but the two words separately do not.

    I searched threads before posting...

    Sorry not to know this - did the "Nate's a Bad---" chant start in '01? May I have some background?

    No, the chant started in the delivery room when Nate punched his way out of his mother's womb and then slapped the doctor for not having his scotch waiting for him.

    Anyone know of any other staff changes? Is anyone following Johnny to Stanford?

    You're clearly mistaken. Nate James was never born. He always was.

    Okay, this is sounding like a Chuck Norris thread. I'm just trying to educate myself here, people.

    Yes, "Nate's a badass" was a common cheer for him during his playing days due to his "take no prisoners" on-court demeanor and general badassery

    This is great news! Nate is an excellent choice for numerous reasons. One of my all time favorite players. Exact opposite of "soft"! I think Nate will do a good job and he will definitely be able to relate to today's players. I hope he gets involved with recruiting! Great way to start the week.

    Awesome. Dunno if Nate has any experience/background in coaching, but a great addition to the team.

    I believe he joined the staff as assistant strength and conditioning coach just this last January and before that he was playing overseas.

    He has in fact been a strength and conditioning coach.

    Our captain, o captain Mr. Nelson had this to say of James' impact back in February:
    I think that he's been a great addition to our program and I think he’s going to be great. He’s another guy who played in the system, played under coach. He had a great career here, and he’s just another resource for wisdom, for learning, another guy we can grab for workouts when time permits. I think he’s going to do a great job.

    Sorry, I ignored the original question because I don't know for sure, but AFAIK, we had that cheer in the '99-'00 season as well. Before that, I have no clue.

    I love that description of Coach Badass(CBA). Imagine having to answer to CBA after practicing soft.

    How many days until practice starts?

    Just my 2 cents, but Coach Badass rates right up there with Coach Cut.I will not join , I prefer to call him Nate James or Coach James.
