  • The absolute simping for a guy who beat his girlfriend and got himself fired for being an asshole is pathetic. There should be more to life than your sports fandom 

  • that's an attitude that would make sense to me if i went to tech

    I don't completely understand the poo pooing of this hire. Maybe expectations were too high regarding who Texas was going to be able to bring in? Sometimes there's a candidate that's such a perfect fi

He lost to Rodney Terry two years ago and almost lost to him last night. Pass

I dont get all the Sean Miller hate.  We could for sure do worse.  

He's certainly the floor, but not the ceiling 

We should probably aim higher, but we could do worse

4 Elite 8s, 4 Sweet 16s

His tenure at Arizona did not end well

I mean he’s better than Rodney.  But feels like we need a bigger name.  But cdc has been aces

Essentially got fired from Arizona for the same stuff that got Wade show caused, right? Just not as egregious?

So we're gonna fire RT, and end up with another "meh" hire....on brand for b-ball....

Do you have some information to share?

He never got the show cause, but there were 4 Level 1 violations against the basketball team.

Nope....I'm sending my info to FCB

Yeah but isn't the stuff that got him in trouble at Arizona basically allowed now.  Got in trouble for recruiting violations which isn't really a concern in the NIL days.

Talk like that gets you Jamie Dixon

Hey, Dixon was a perfectly good hire for a program like TCU - he was over .700 winning percentage at Pitt with 2 Sweet 16s and an Elite 8.  And he was an alum

He was less good when Pitt moved to the ACC and it showed in the Big 12, but it's not like TCU had some legendary basketball history, considering their last tournament appearance before Dixon was 1998.

I love that no one knows anything because cdc doesn’t leak info. All this I heard stuff is made up.

Holy shit we're getting Jay Wright.

That is certainly something CDC would bring up in an interview - four Level 1 violations and a LOIC charge.

Texas wont touch him.

On June 22, Wade was suspended for the first 10 games of the 2023–24 seasonand was given a 2-year show-cause penalty for his recruiting and bribery violations at LSU.[13]

Sean miller got caught up in ncaa allegations as well

The best part of Texas coaching searches - the immediate silly season. Every name gets thrown out, from NBA to national championship winning coaches to, when it was baseball, high school coaches.

We're getting Donovan!
Bill Self called CDC himself!
Dan Hurley is tired of winning titles at UConn, he wants a new challenge!
I'd like to see what the Duncanville coach can do with Texas resources

Leave a Big East, basketball blueblood for UT? I'll believe it when I see it.

His buyout has gotta be obscene

According to my flight tracking app he’s on his way to Austin

That's better than the jokes. "Maybe we can get Bobby Knight??? What about Tom Penders??? Ha ha ha ha maybe John Wooden!!". It's funny because these are coaches that we will not be hiring. That is what makes it so funny.

But what is funnier, those jokes or the Beard/Barnes/Shaka jokes?

Real fucking laugh riot here

He’d probably work out better than RT. Just don’t hire the 32 y/o version if we want any program continuity.

No where. It’s completely made up.

Bobby Hurley is believable, but our last hire from ASU was god-awful.

Click bait bullshit about the "big prize".

Big Prize

B.P.

BRUCE PEARL!

Burton has direct access to the money that is going to be relied upon for getting something done. I don't think any of the other guys do. If he starts getting certain about anything, that's probably good information.

I think chip has nailed a few of these.   

I could be misremembering things but for God knows what reason, hasn’t FCB been CDC’s preferred $9.95 mouthpiece to leak things to?

Can you clarify where you heard this name?

Sean Miller does not excite me at all. That Xavier team isn’t that good, they just got to play us.

The 2nd half offense they played is all we need. In the games I watched, every time our team wilted down the stretch it was because they would bring the ball up court, make one pass, set one screen, not use the screen, dribble into the lane and take a contested shot or make a tough pass out to someone who can't shoot or Tre Johnson in a tough position. 

The Xavier motion offense was so simple, but they just kept running it and getting looks. That's all I want.

That’s sort of what I remember as well though it was tfb that broke the sark hire

I'll say this about Sean Miller. His is the name that keeps coming up the most when this job is talked about.

Now the question is, is the media just recirculating his name from 2023 because it’s easy and they have no sources or is there legit smoke

I lean the former, but I also don't know shit about fuck.

Can he teach passing the ball when you have a contested shot with zero chance of making it?

I bet we can get him for next to nothing? Make sure that Morality Clause is rock solid. All we need is a guy that runs around with women of questionable character

Everybody is on their way to Austin!

temper expectations.  We are currently transitioning from the Charlie Strong phase, to the Tom Herman phase of our basketball program....
