  1. Got told that if Arch were to make his decision today, it's LSU. Obviously we're miles away from this being remotely over, and LSU sucking ass for 2 straight years will have an effect on his decision, but that's where he is right now.
  2. Championship game with Bob Knight's players where they got smashed by Maryland and somehow beat a #1 seed great Duke team (Jared Jeffries basically carried them on his own)
  3. I disagree, basketball or football it doesn't matter how good your facilities are, or how good your fanbase is, you have to nail the hire, ESPECIALLY in a place like Lubbock. If the next coach at Tech goes back down to .500 with tourney appearances every 2 or 3 years it will be as if Chris Beard never existed.
  4. Eh, I prefer honest nothing over FCB's bullshit "I know something you don't know~~~~!" routine
  5. I went through FCB's post history (couple thoughts, 247 makes it fucking hard to do this and I had to see TyroneSwoope's posts so a mega-fuck you for that) and I've only seen him be coy about Beard. In a post about Shaka being excited to coach at Marquette for the sold out crowds he said this: And in a thread talking about how Beard's lack of rejection is good he responded with this: I'd rather someone just post the IT update from this morning because we all know FCB sucks and it sucks ass I spent any time on this
  6. OK so they have absolutely no idea what they're doing
  7. Eh, it's been documented that K has used his position as Team USA coach to put people like KD on the phone to talk to recruits about his experience under K. Really not unreasonable for Ivey to have a scuffed Texas only version of that.
  8. I'm with you on this. IT mentioned this morning we're interviewing Ivey today or tomorrow though so I genuinely don't think a decision has been made yet.
  9. I prefer Musselman and Beilein. I had been attracted to Altman too but the potential rape cover is definitely not a great look. Of the options we've gone over I don't see any as duds and it's definitely just personal preference stylistically. Obviously winning comes first but I don't see any of these just being fun to watch losers.
  10. That's fine, that's just my opinion which doesn't count for shit. But he absolutely does have more transfers than your average program, and you can talk about how some of them couldn't cut it, but if that's true he does a poor job of communicating expectations. Most of all though:
  11. I've been very open about the fact that I hate his style of play and I'm concerned about how many players he runs off every year. I am well aware that my opinion of him is much lower than almost everyone else here. I think there are better candidates who can win just as much that I'd enjoy watching more. I wouldn't be mad if we got him, since I do think he's a very good coach, I just prefer others.
  12. Very interesting hire that almost feels like Woodson insurance should things go south
  13. Frankly, the most exciting thing about getting Beard to me is the absolute meltdown we'd be able to witness.
  14. This has me a bit worried since in theory we should be going after similar candidates and I'm sure they made runs at some candidates on our list. Maybe they don't have as much money to offer after the 10 mil buyout, maybe the Texas job is a bit more appealing because of pressure, new facilities, money, and location like some such as Sam Vecenie have posited. Once Texas opened up maybe Beard told them no, knowing he had a more preferred option to leave for. Comparing Woodson to Howard's situations feels kinda silly given context. It'd be interesting if poaching a former alumni from an NBA staff truly becomes a trend should we choose Ivey.
  15. He wouldn't contribute in a major way because he literally averaged over 11 fouls per 40 minutes this year, or maybe that is contributing in a major way
  16. For reference, when I say there are hundreds of players available, I mean it
  17. Our roster is already fairly gutted, have the hire by next week, try and keep the class together as much as possible, maybe you're able to bring a guy back out of the transfer portal, and grab a few of the literally hundreds of players that are in the transfer portal.
  18. Ah forgot about Smith. It's not that he can't stay healthy, he had an undiagnosed allergy to cinnamon or poppyseeds or something that just wrecked his career.
  19. Beard's only put two guys in the NBA off the top of my head, and Ramsey who was the one one and done last year, went a lot lower than expected
  20. An old friend emerges! Wonder what he's hoping for since he wasn't lacking PT
  21. Considered a rising star in the NBA coaching ranks, all former UT NBA players love him and vouch for him. As has been mentioned many times, this would be the only college job he'd consider similar to Juwan Howard at Michigan. We have absolutely nothing to go off of given he's an assistant but it's reasonable to expect he'd be a plus recruiter and he's been around good coaches to learn under like Donovan and the overall staff in Brooklyn.
  22. Here's a guide for people who are new to the coaching search: Will our new coach leave an NBA job for us? No Will our new coach leave a college job they've been at for 20+ years/won a championship with/have turned down NBA interviews during this time? No Will our new coach be the guy with the 53 million dollar buyout? No
  23. Ya Indiana would have to pay a buyout that's 2 mil less...but they also just paid 10-11 mil to get off of Archie
  24. Guy has already been called out as trash in the past week, we don't need squids this coaching search too
  25. Chris Beard is a damn good coach who plays a brand of basketball that sucks ass to watch, but will win games. I am sure he'll have a lot of success if we hire him, but it'll be frustrating watching the type of game he wants played 30+ times a year instead of just a few.
