For fuck's sake, One Ear... consider the various duties of a coaching staff. Rodney Terry has demonstrated an inability to have us ready for the start of games; to his credit, he made good halftime adjustments. The adjustments are a hallmark of a top-flight assistant coach; the other is what a great head coach does, get his team ready to play BEFORE the game begins. Beard had our guys ready to go - if not breathing fire - every game; Terry's halftime prowess seems to be fading. Beard created a team that was a terror on defense and the boards. Under Terry, we have abandoned defensive intensity and attacking the boards, opting instead to take a team of somewhat offensive challenged players and depending upon them to score like Jerry Tark's Runnin' Rebs.
I hope our experienced players are able to overcome all of this and take us to the Final Four.
And if they do, Hook 'Em Horns, Baby!
And I still wouldn't make Terry our permanent head coach.
