March 30, 20214 yr Pardon my ignorance, but what exactly is the story with Scott Drew? Why is he slimy? Buying players? Is he the Art Briles of basketball?

Is he the Art Briles of basketball? one example: back in 2008 when Baylor was the doormat of the Big XII they gave John Wall's AAU coach a high paying assistant gig, and Wall very nearly chose Baylor over Kentucky, with BU as his runner up. so, if he was ballsy enough to publicly try and buy John Wall back in 2008, then imagine what all BU has done over the years that we don't know about. also, Rick Barnes is extremely popular among his coaching peers; he gets along with everyone. he's affable, he's a great story teller, and he holds no punches. he treats people with respect, and people respect him back. except for Drew. Barnes very publicly hated Drew when they were Big XII rivals. he was the only coach I've ever heard Barnes openly talk about negatively. i mean you could see how much Barnes hates Scott Drew. nobody outside of Waco likes him.

March 30, 20214 yr My tech Facebook “friends” are starting to justify Beard leaving for Texas. “He was brought here to win championships and hasn’t yet. Next man up.” Anyway, it’s happening.

Ive heard from a couple different places and I’m sure @bitterwhiteguy could expand on it if he chooses. But supposedly Drew has/had threatened to get an international player deported, or some shit, if he didn’t commit to baylor. Don’t know who the kid was.

Leonard Hamilton is a good coach, but not sure I would consider him elite enough to try and push for the job. Either we are way overestimating who is a viable option, somebody is trying to leverage a raise, or this makes little sense..
March 30, 20214 yr The GA tech coach learned under Lute Olsen at AU, then had a lot of success at Memphis and was thought to be a rising star, but had a slow start at GA Tech. he’s improved and gotten them in the tournament the last tow years. Doubt he’d be on our short list though.
March 30, 20214 yr Pastner was fired for failing at Memphis and is considered extremely slimey on the recruiting trail (If you care about such things). Edited March 30, 20214 yr by SimonBolivar

March 30, 20214 yr I can't remember, but I thought Barnes had a beef with Dean Smith, too.Yeah, my Tar Heel in-laws talked about it all the time when Barnes was here.The take was that Dean told a Clemson player to do something in a game or complained to the player about something and Rick said don’t ever talk to my players. Maybe some expletives in there...Tar Heel fans think no one should ever talk to Dean that way and it grew from there

March 30, 20214 yr Chris Beard update (mostly non-update) from IT Spoiler We’ve heard the Texas Tech head coach wants the job and we think him being the next head coach is the most likely outcome. But it’s not done yet. We’re in the awkward, quiet period of the courtship. That silence might have something to do with his buyout dropping a million dollars on April 1st. Or it could be over money for his assistant pool. If the buyout/salary pool isn’t the reason things are quiet, then discussions have hit a snag somewhere else. We’ve heard UT does have the capital to pull this off. We should see resolution on Beard this week. If it’s not Beard, Texas still feels good about its options. Royal Ivey is viewed favorably. They like him quite a bit but view Beard as the better candidate as they get ready to enter into a new arena.
March 30, 20214 yr God, I feel like this is all over by the end of the week. Announce this shit Saturday morning and steal headlines from the Final Four.

The Texas job is not in that category and neither is Tech, but Beard has had basically unlimited support of his program. Therein lies the rub. Beard has done it in Lubbock. He doesn’t need UT to win it all. Itwill not be for moneyif he leaves, and that’s the pisser, if that should indeed, happen.
