All I can say is "UGH", and leave it to others that know far more.....res ipsa loquitur....Latin for "the thing speaks for itself"! I expected more but Barnes has to sell it now?

Vanderbilt
Stallings became head coach at Vanderbilt in 1999, replacing Jan van Breda Kolff. In his first season, the Commodores rebounded from a 14-15 record to finish 19-11 (Southeastern Conference: 8-8). They were led by SEC Player of the Year Dan Langhi, who led the SEC with 22.1 points per game.
The Commodores slipped to 15-15 (SEC: 4-12) in 2000-01 and missed the postseason, although Matt Freije became only the fifth Commodore to be named to the SEC All-Freshman team.
In 2001-02, they improved marginally to 17-15 (SEC: 6-10). Wins at Tennessee and against No. 11 Kentucky in the final week helped Vanderbilt secure an NIT berth. They beat Houston 59-50 in the opening round before losing in the next. Freije earned third-team All-SEC honors, and Brian Thornton became the sixth Commodore to be named to the SEC All-Freshman team.
In 2002-03, Stallings suffered the only losing season of his career, when the Commodores slumped to 11-18 (SEC: 3-13). Freije was named second-team All-SEC by the league’s coaches.
In 2003-04, Stallings led the Commodores to a 23-10 record (SEC: 8-8) and the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament. The Commodores had a 66-60 regular season win over No. 4 Kentucky and knocked off No. 9 Mississippi State in the SEC Tournament before losing to Florida in the semi-finals. In the NCAA tournament, Vanderbilt received a No. 6 seed and defeated Western Michigan 71-58 in the first round. In the second round, the Commodores trailed third-seeded North Carolina State 67-56 with 3:45 to play, but Freije keyed a 19-6 Vanderbilt run to end the game for a 75-73 win. Vanderbilt lost to eventual national champion Connecticut 73-53 in the Sweet Sixteen. Freije (18.4 ppg, 5.4 rpg) was named first-team All-SEC and finished as Vanderbilt’s leading all-time scorer (1,891 points).
In 2004-05, the Commodores narrowly missed the NCAA tournament, finishing 20-14 (SEC: 8-8). Vanderbilt beat Indiana and Wichita State in the NIT before losing to Memphis in the quarterfinals, 81-68. Shan Foster became the seventh Commodore to be named to the SEC All-Freshman team and the third during Stallings’ tenure.
In 2005-06, Vanderbilt finished 17-13 (SEC: 7-9) and lost to Notre Dame 79-69 in the first round of the NIT. Foster was named first-team All-SEC.
In 2006-07, Vanderbilt had a 22-12 record (SEC East: 10-6, 2nd) and reached the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. Following the end of the regular season, Stallings was named SEC coach of the year by his fellow SEC coaches, while senior Derrick Byars was named SEC player of the year.[6]
In 2007-08, Vanderbilt won its first 16 games of the season en route to a 26-8 record (10-6 SEC). After going 2-4 to start conference play, the Commodores notched seven straight wins, including a victory over then-No. 1 Tennessee, the second straight season Stallings defeated a top-ranked team. Vanderbilt received a No. 4 seed in the NCAA Tournament. However, 13th-seeded Siena routed the Commodores in the first round, 83-62. Shan Foster became the school's all-time leading scorer and was named the 2008 SEC Player of the Year by the SEC's coaches and the Associated Press.
In 2008-09, Stallings had four freshmen playing significant minutes on one of the youngest rosters in the nation. In a down year for the SEC, the Commodores went 19-12 and went 8-8 in conference play, but did not receive a bid to the NCAA Tournament or the NIT at the season's end.
The 2009-10 season represented a bounceback for the Commodores, who rattled of 10 straight victories after a 6-3 start and went on to post a 12-4 record in SEC play, the best-ever under Stallings. This included season sweeps of Florida and Tennessee, and Vanderbilt finished second in the SEC East behind Kentucky. The Commodores again received a No. 4 seed in the NCAA Tournament but were shocked again, this time by 13th-seeded Murray State, 66-65. However, three NCAA bids in four years is Vanderbilt's best postseason run since the early 1990s. Jermaine Beal was named First Team All-SEC after leading Vanderbilt in scoring and assists, and Stallings was named SEC Coach of the Year for the second time in four seasons.
In 2010-11, Stallings led Vanderbilt to a 23-11 overall record, 9-7 in the SEC. After earning a 5 seed, another upset ensued in the NCAA Tournament, however, as 12th seeded Richmond knocked Vanderbilt out of the tournament in the second round.
The 2011-12 team was widely considered Vanderbilt's strongest under Stallings, with his typical makeup of a strong outside shooting presence and a powerful post man inside. Vanderbilt advanced to its first SEC Tournament final since 1951, defeating #1 and eventual national champion Kentucky by a score of 71-64.[7] The season ended in the NCAA Tournament at the hands of Wisconsin in the third round, after the Commodores defeated Harvard 79-70 in the second round.
With a victory over Lipscomb on November 15, 2013, Stallings passed Roy Skinner as the winningest coach in Vanderbilt history. Stallings made his first NCAA tournament in four years in 2015-16, but it ended with a loss to Tennesssee in the SEC Tournament and a disappointing 20-point loss to Wichita State in the First Four.[8][9]
