Tech is not a basketball school I repeat Tech is not a basketball school
I could see them becoming a perennial top 15 team, getting an occasional 5 star guy. Top of the conference and threat to make a deep tourney run every year type of program.
Beard's system does not appeal to "most" 5* guys. It's defense first as opposed to hand it off and jack up a 3 at the worst possible time.
It's popavich spurs style D when he actually had defensive players. It's boring--- but effective and I love it.
Same. Volume scoring is fun and all, but I just want any system that wins and that translates to success in the tournament.
Seems like the uglier the better for that staff. The TT basketball team has held every opponent they have played in the tournament under their season average. It's impressive how well he can get dudes to buy into his system. I could see him turning out a Michigan State style of program. Occasionally you will get the huge target, but the majority of the time you are going to get guys who are undervalued who he can get to stay in his system for several years.
I was luckily enough to see him first hand at ASU, the success he had there with the dudes he was getting there showed me that he would win a national championship at whatever level he coached at, given he stayed there long enough to get his guys.
Wish we had at least one billionaire BMD that cared about UT basketball more than any other sport.
This. It is similar to Billy Gillespie. We had been so bad that he could get after those kids all he wanted and after a little success the players bought in, but those were not mainly 5* kids. He couldn't do that stuff at Kentucky and it was not pretty. Not that they are the same coach, but I think some similarities are there. I think he could be a legend at Tech however.
Hey listen if Chris Beard brings home the trophy this weekend lots of 4* recruits will all of a sudden be interested in playing for TT and his style of play. And don't forget he had a lottery pic in last years draft and by all accounts Jarrett Culver will be another one this year.
And maybe against all odds Lubbock Texas could become a destination spot. Nah lol

Well take this into consideration. Aside from a few players and some interesting characters TT football has been mediocre they've never even won a conference title. They're dying for a championship out there on the plains and if the bb team does it things can change real quick.
