  • 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

Kentucky is currently getting booed on their home court. They're about done with coach Cal. 

Sounds exactly like the guy we should hire

It would be a very aggy like hire. It's Jimbo 2.0.

Oats is my #1, full stop. Lloyd and Muss are up there though. 

I think the only worry with Lloyd is he's the type coach NBA teams will love. Offensive minded is the way the NBA is trending and Lloyd knows about international talent. 

Another interesting development is it looks like Rick Stansbury might be on his way out at Western Kentucky. 

He's going to be highly sought after as an assistant. He's a major bagman and can recruit. I wouldn't be surprised if he finds a job in Texas again as an assistant.

What?  They're playing tonight? 

Old news , but damn what a dumb ass to loose everything over some woman. There was a history established and you still brought her to Austin 

Fuck me. Dumb ass !

Well... we were sick of Rick Barnes by the end of his career at Texas.  Pretty sure there were some boos in the last few years.

Change of scenery and he is back to being the Rick Barnes we all loved for most of his career here.

Given Calipari's success over the whole of his career, it is possible he will have a solid rebound somewhere.

Sounds like Holland may wait to see who we hire and then decide if he wants to stay or not, per IT

Smart. And I like that. Very mature decision

Rick still had Texas playing like a NCAA tournament caliber team. Right now it looks like Kentucky is in real danger of missing the tournament in 2 out of the last 3 years. 

A change of scenery might be a good thing for Cal but Rick didn't have Texas looking anywhere close to this bad.

Gen X, actually. The self absorbed part is almost certainly right on, though. Can't speak much for my generation. I liked Sub Pop music, though. I felt like the music of my generation was pretty darn good, but I guess that's what most generations think. 

Sorry, I wasn't speaking of you, SLX. You good people.

wonder how bad this loss affects UK’s seeding… 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

for the NIT?

first he coached at Xavier from 2001-2009, and then after being fired by arizona they gave him a nice, soft landing spot and welcomed him home. you'd have to be one epically huge scumbag to turn around and leave again after having just been back for one season. 

Well, he is a college basketball coach, so...

Beard will probably phone it in wherever he goes next. I just don’t see him having the same “unite the family” type passion for another university he didn’t attend. But he will get back into coaching because he wants to continue bringing home paychecks to keep his fiancée happy

Ah. I misunderstood. No worries.

I do like my Sub Pop, though.

I encourage you to re-watch Rick's last game, the tourney game vs Butler, and tell me how bad they looked because that team could barely get the ball past halfcourt. It was miserable.

reading the part there about "who's your national coach of the year" was painful, because chris beard no doubt was going to be on that short list. after all, we were a missed FT away from being undefeated and no.1 in the country when all the shit went down. god damn it chris beard, you fucking boned us.

Well, he boned Randi.

Randi boned y'all.

Way to much talk in the press about keeping the present staff, making it more acceptable to do just that.

CDC - Please don't Terry.

Yeah. A leading candidate absolutely cannot be someone who has barely won a 160+ games in 10 years. That's not good.

I will pause my judgement on Terry until after the season.  But my bias is that we can do significantly better.

Terry is not CDC’s MO. It’s just not. 

Mike White - .796 winning % at previous stop, 5 conference titles, 4 WCWS
Vic Schaefer - .781 winning % at previous stop, 2 conference titles, 2 Final Fours + another Elite 8, 2 Runner-Up Finishes
Floreal - 8 top 5 finishes for the women and 6 top 22 finishes for the men at previous stop
Joffe - .783 dual match record at previous stop and NCAA runner up finish

Terry - .538 at Fresno with 1 conference title and 1 NCAA appearance and .435 at UTEP

The national media is going to continue to hype Terry as the hire because he's well liked in the industry. That's really all there is to it.

We have a long way to go before even having to consider this year's results as "good".  I remain skeptical.

I understand everyones issues with Terry, but personally I’m rooting for him to be the coach next year because that means we made a Final Four this year 

I’m not gonna hope we lose. Sorry. I just can’t do it. This is one of our more promising teams in a long time.

playing devils advocate here, but the only other time a head coach was fired due to scandal/arrest under CDC was Coach Center (men’s tennis) and instead of doing a proper coaching search , CDC decided to promote the assistant coach (Berque) to permanent head coach. Although Berque has done a good job keeping the team ranked in the top 15 these past few years, he has accomplished that primarily with players Center recruited. The jury is still out on Berque until we see how his team does over the next couple of years with just the guys he brought on.

This may be a hot take but if Rodney Terry wins a national championship this season I don't give a fuck what CDC does.

Yeah Terry would have to win a title and I doubt that’s going to happen. But if it did, I think we’d be content for a while haha

the absolute pipe dream scenario is that this talented group of veterans and 5* studs makes a run to the FF which prompts a smaller, but legit school to come after Terry, at which point we let him leave with our blessing as we announce that Musselman or Oats is our new HC. 

Coach Cal is washed. He's bringing in boat loads of talent and hasn't done fuck all with it in quite some time. Kentucky looked like a good team the year the tourney was cancelled and that's a what if, but they looked good last season too and flopped out in the first round to a 15 seed. This athletic program is cursed, we finally got someone who appeared ready to steer this ship in the right direction and he turned out to be a woman beater.

Color guys in the Arky-Alabama said we should call Barnes and apologize and beg him to come back. Otherwise, one of those 2 guys coaching on the floor

Makes sense. I bet he’ll get some interest either way as long as we don’t shit the bed for the rest of the season (which I don’t expect us to).

We just can't have a coach named Terry. I will search 'put it in reverse Terry ' every time I see the name. Like now.

Maybe before halfway through conference. This is really bad basketball.

We really are in a shit hole if peopIe are really talking about that slime ball, underachieving, washed up Calipari.

Dear lord, people.
