December 12, 20223 yr This needs its own thread. Quote According to records from the Travis County Sheriff’s Office, Texas men’s basketball coach Chris Beard was arrested early Monday morning at 4:18 a.m. in Austin for “Assault on a family/household member.” He also apparently was preventing the victim from breathing. Beard was booked with a third degree felony. https://www.on3.com/college/texas-longhorns/news/texas-basketball-coach-chris-beard-arrested-monday-morning-in-austin-tx/
December 12, 20223 yr Welp. It was fun while it lasted. Fucking hell. Edited December 12, 20223 yr by Bigbend1812 Cause fuck everything.
December 12, 20223 yr Let the facts play out but this looks like it could be a s@&$ show of epic proportions.

He needs to be in therapy and get help for whatever issue caused him to get violent. Whether it's alcohol, anger management, maybe needs to get divorced, or whatever it is. This just fucking sucks.

Dude. He's so fucking gone.
December 12, 20223 yr Popular Post If this was Sark, he’d be fired at 4:19am by the fans. Don’t become the “we’re elite with him, so we shouldn’t fire him” type of crowd. We ain’t SEC yet

Uh, if he choked someone, he's fired.

December 12, 20223 yr Well he’s fired. Good riddance if reports are true. Any good coaches on the market
December 12, 20223 yr I’ll let the facts play out, but if it turns out to be true it absolutely merits firing. Doesn’t matter if it’s “only” a first offense.
December 12, 20223 yr UT is going to have a statement this morning. Assuming Terry will assume responsibility for the program for the rest of the year and the recruits that signed their LOIs will be released.

If true he’s gone and he should be, you smug dismissive child.
December 12, 20223 yr So who's interim? And the only way he's not fired is if there's absolutely no truth to the accusation, which is about 0.05% likely.
December 12, 20223 yr FYI in “Family member” in the charge description means “known” and not necessarily family. Of course it can also mean family. Edited December 12, 20223 yr by ChickenSandwich

I would assume the addition of "household" means that person lives at his house? Or is that just boilerplate (ambiguous) language? Edited December 12, 20223 yr by jimmyjazz

Oh yeah let’s do the thing where we give a pass to something we enthusiastically look down on OU or aggy for.I’m all for a suspension in the short term as details come to light, but if the answer to “did he assault a family member, including strangulation?” is not 100% “no,” then he’s got to go.
December 12, 20223 yr Even if this was a situation where he lost his temper momentarily and struck someone, he should be fired. This is strangulation. That is intent. This is not just a fireable offense, this man should never get a coaching job again. You cannot be a leader of young men with this kind of arrest. The only circumstance that could possibly absolve him was that he was strangling someone who was threatening him and his family with a weapon. Unless that’s the case, Beard needs some serious help and needs to be out of basketball permanently.
December 12, 20223 yr I hear 10 games into the season is a great time to begin a coaching search. Can anyone confirm?

December 12, 20223 yr Whoever posts BWG’s take on this gets a throat punch (from me, not Chris Beard).
