Chris Beard to Texas

This team desperately needs a true point guard. Morris will help a ton next year. They don't have anybody that can create.
If they win at least 1 tournament game then that's a successful season IMO. The Big 12 was brutal this season.
I'd wait and give Beard 6 full seasons. If his record is 109 and 86 with only 2 NCAA bids. Then he under achieved. 
I see what you did there.I'd wait and give Beard 6 full seasons. If his record is 109 and 86 with only 2 NCAA bids. Then he under achieved.
Umm coach isn’t that why you are paid? To get your teams mind right? You also virtually handpicked this team
Yes and no. Job is to build a culture where that takes care of itself. Not done in a year.
Handpicked? Seriously? Beard was scrambling just to fill the roster!
Congratulations - you've b*tched after 31 straight games, and you finally got one where you can say I told you so.
Big deal. We lost a meaningless conference tournament game. It’s almost impossible to beat the same team 3 times in the same season in the same conference. Especially the Big 12. We’ll be a 5 or 6 seed and are very capable of getting to the sweet 16. I’ll be thrilled if we can get to the 2nd round. Next year I’ll expect us to take another step up.
Handpicked? Come on man he was scrambling to fill the roster and had to resort the transfer portal to do that. Your hate of Beard is a little over the top and at this point it's kind of weird to me. Winning 1 tournament game this season will surpass what Shaka couldn't accomplish in 6 years. You can't change the culture of the program in 10 months. It doesn't work like that.
Right now I can't tell the difference between this team and Shaka's teams. Some good games, a few lucky games, and some WTF games. Figured a coaching upgrade would cut out the WTF games but here we are.
I disagree. This team plays way better defense under Beard. I'm not going to overreact to one season like some might do. It takes time to come in and change the culture of the program. They are still lacking a true PG and Morris will fill that void next year. If they come out and win a game or 2 in tournament then this season is a success in my opinion.
Some of our negative nancy fans do not understand the concept unfortunately. Your post was spot-on.
This is true. Many good teams are tanking their conference tournament games. The conference tournaments are a waste of time.
Who is overracting? Is talking about our concerns considered overreacting all of a sudden? The fact is Beard hasn't impressed so far in year one, but he has more years to keep building his program. No one is mad at him, we're just giving our opinions.
I agree about the conference tournaments. It only helps bubble teams improve thier stock, the rest basically use it as exhibition games.
I'm just saying lets wait until the season is over to assess whether the season was a success or a failure. Beard has already matched Shaka's highest win total in his first season. I think all this team lacks a little bit of chemistry and that's probably in part to it being made up of mostly transfers. Still not a bad season at all to this point though.
