  1. No, but I have some friends that live in Overlook Estates down the road that have been there and they say it's pretty terrible.
  2. Yep, and it’s not a “promotion”. Ogden is likely just being temporarily activated to recruit on the road like certain football staff are whenever there is football coaching turnover.
  3. Beard loosened things up in January. He was all Norman Dale in November and December, but realized he couldn't have guys passing up good shots just for the sake of ball movement. I think the offense loosens up more the more he trusts the players. It's not a binary thing.
  4. Pretty much. The offense will improve with better overall talent, including shooting.
  5. I thought I was right!
  6. nm
  7. One of them prefers Tony Buzbee. Gross.
  8. Roger that.
  9. UT doesn't own the Moody Center. We're just a priority tenant. It was largely a miracle (more thanks to the threat of liquidated damages) that the SEZ was done on time. That contract was directly with UT and the contractors and vendors in no way wanted to tangle with UT about finishing a high profile construction project late. OVG - not so much.
  10. We only have room for one Mitchell next season. The good one.
  11. Minor wouldn't mean Ogden, Maligi, Howard, or Terry. I'll be disappointed if it's Donewald.
  12. This. West was more than competent as an assessor of basketball talent - playing and coaching. He was just a master of self-torment to the point that he couldn't effectively coach a team himself. He recognized he could be more effective one rung removed from coaching the players directly. He was so incredibly masterful as a player, it makes sense to me that he struggled with removing his own talent and experience as a player from coaching and developing others.
  13. Calculated move. Basically, they're taking the risk that Pooty will get iced or exiled before any of them set foot on Earth again. Families are probably safe, otherwise I seriously doubt they would have done that.
  14. Shhhh, @Cement is hunting wabbits abandoning logic and reason.
  15. Texas hired two chumps with very few skins on the wall. One lasted 3 years, the other 4 years. Marquette hired a guy that shared a bench with Coach K for many years, but had no skins otherwise. After 7 years, he was dumped for a guy with a miracle Final 4 appearance a decade ago, but who hadn't won a single NCAA tournament game since. While recruiting and coaching at a power conference basketball school with, albeit not the resources of a bball blue blood, but enough to build off what Barnes created. These are not the same things.
  16. They let Wojo coach there for 7 years, and then hired Shaka Smart, so I would question how serious they are about basketball.
