Thanks for posting, Coach. A class act. I also understand that Rick Barnes will be back on campus to watch TJ walk at graduation. A huge "thank you" to Coach Barnes for bringing TJ to the 40.

And a huge thank you to TJ, for what he did for the Texas MBB program. So fun to watch. So amazing. So fast.

I can picture him now, driving the ball against a taller, slower, confused defense. Before you know it, he's behind them at the hoop. Again and again.

TJ was a great point guard and i mean great. He really set the trend of basketball players wanting to come to UT. Think about all the NBA talent who came behind him.

Very classy of Barnes to come back for the ceremony.

For those of us that never played, its hard to comprehend the Coach/Student Athlete relationship. This video with Barnes and Ford from the weekend is pretty sweet.
