There is also a guard from UNC who entered the portal yesterday who was a 5*. Wonder if we would be interested.
That guy averaged 14.5 points over three years. (a) That's pretty impressive. (b) Why would he leave? Is Hubert that bad a coach? His useage isn't going to go up that much.
 
Congrats to Coach Terry. I’m still not convinced he can get it done long term, but damnit he’s earned his shot. Giv’em hell RT!
I'm with you. I would've tried for a bigger name (maybe they did and couldn't pull it off), and we'll see if he can assemble a roster.. But you can't deny that Coach Terry won a conference championship and got to the Elite 8 - congrats to him.

I'm not sure any of the big names would take the job. Media was all over RT getting the job and I think whoever would have got it would have to spend a lot of time smoothing over public opinion and issues within the team. ESPN would have had a field day hinting at things.
I'm all for RT getting a shot. It's all set up to be successful. You had a great season that could have imploded. Went deep into the tournament (thats what she said). You've got some top recruits staying committed and you should be able to get some good names in the portal due to success this year and all the publicity that RT signing has given us. If he doesn't make it then the buyout is not much and you throw the bank at a coach that can do it. I'm ok with this (not that anyone cares) but I think Texas really didn't have a choice.

UNC is on a downward trend so he's probably looking for a team that is more competitive. I'm also hearing the guard from Rice is someone we're very interested in bringing over. He would be a grad transfer. He was their leading scorer the past three seasons and has a similar style of play to Marcus Carr - tenacious defender and can get his shot off against pretty much anyone.

The issue was I think that there wasn’t really a bigger name out there to get. Jay Wright sounds like is content to not coach for now. Not to say he will never coach, but he isn’t ready to right now.

Billy Donovan maybe could have had him but that’s kind of a long shot I always felt like.

After that the Mussleman, pearl, tangs of the world. I think Terry started doing so well that it got harder to justify hiring those guys.

I think the right decision was made given the circumstances. Sure it may not work, but it may. I mean if I had told you 2 years ago that Chris Beard was going to be fired a year and a half in to his tenure you would have said I was crazy. So you never know. This time last year no one outside of Baylor and those that follow college basketball closely knew who Jerome Tang was.

Chris Beard got fired for violating the rules, not because he was a bad coach. I don't really see how that's relevant in this matter. And as far as Tang, nobody knew because he'd never been a head coach before. Terry has, so we have something to go off of. We just have to hope that he found something this year.
 
No way on Mussleman. The way that guy acted after they beat Kansas was embarrassing. You would have thought he won the whole thing by the way he acted. At least act like you've been there before, geesh.

yeah you kinda missed the point. My point is you don’t know how things are going to transpire. When Chris Beard was hired we all thought we had our next basketball coach for the next 25 years. Didn’t work out that way. You never know how life will play out. Rodney Terry wasn’t the guy everyone expected to be the head coach next year, but maybe he ends up being the right guy. Time will tell

I'm not trying to change the subject. Can you believe it a number 4, 2 number 5's, and a number 9 seed in the final 4. 3 teams who've never been there. You'll never see a March madness before and it won't happen again.

Just for fun I'd like to see Miami play FAU for the title.
 
Rodney Terry is the right man for the job....if the nucleus or all players return, top recruits stay committed and a big, nasty inside player (or more) transfers to us. He's got the rapport going w the team. His good assistants are important as well.

There really was no point. You’re just talking out of your ass again as usual.

Someone who doesn’t like my posts spends a lot of time responding. As I told you earlier in the thread. No one makes you read them. Maybe instead of being an asshole you ought to just not respond

@KChorn11:

You like basketball do you keep up with the NBA? After 17 years our Sacramento Kings have finally made the playoffs losers no more!
I don’t keep up with the NBA that much. I lose touch with it. I wish we had a team in KC would probably follow it closer. I did see the kings(former Kansas City team) made the playoffs. Mike brown who I always thought was a better coach than he got credit for.
 
Looks like Hunter declared for the draft but won’t hire an agent. I expect him back at Texas when all is said and done.
 
Not so good news for women's hoops at Baylor. In just her second year Kim Mulkey has won a natty at LSU.

And go Aztecs

I think you will find that virtually all BU fans/alums still love Mulkey. Big mistake to let her go. That was a heck of a game yesterday. If you haven't checked - social media is on fire with the trash talking going on between the LSU team and Caitlyn Clark. Brutal. AND made it even more interesting. Geaux Mulkey!

 
UConn wins… I’m not sure we’ve seen someone blow through the tournament like they did in quite some time. Especially as a 4 seed.

Agreed. If they had played TX instead of Miami they would have thumped us.

You know it was a great final 4 seeing teams like FAU, SDS, even Miami making the final 4 for the first time. But it was the team with the championship pedigree that won. It was kind of like TCU another underdog who played for the title but like SDS they were beaten soundly.

Cat fight. Reeeeooooghhh

Between this and that one girl punching the other in the handshake line, these girls are trashy. Not a good look.

Oh yeah as I said after the Miami game. Miami is going to get blown out, and we would have too. Especially without Disu being 100%
