Hernandez

you said he hasn’t exactly been tearing it up, and i’m just pointing out that over the last five tourneys he’s done better than all but a handful of coaches. and that’s not to mention that’s he’s done so with multiple injuries to key, all conference level players throughout that time. he’s done quite well.

bro no clue lol. don’t remember at all. it’s just a handle i made some time ago to peruse the site whenever my regular handle has been banned from viewing. i must have been watching a patriots game or something lol.

way overdue, but i suppose he earned that.

imma banned me because he’s a child, and i’m sick of sitting out when i did absolutely nothing to deserve a banning. this is like the fifth time he’s done this. its asinine and indefensible. i’m sure he’ll be banning me again in no time, but at some point you just gotta say what the fuck. i’m not doing anything wrong; why my existence bothers him so much only he knows.

yeah our opponent was impossibly bad but the offense was humming. was interesting to see it play out like that without Tre. keyonte george was who i thought we were getting when we got Tre, and so far it seems like that’s more or less the case.

this is, without a doubt, the most pathetic stretch of scheduling in the history of Texas Basketball. there’s really no defending it. we’ve got a recent NCOY winner, a S16 caliber roster, and an expensive new arena full of seats and concessions. this schedule is an embarrassment, and a slap in the face to all of the Texas Basketball fans who recently had to essentially declare their love of Texas Basketball to get their tickets.

kenpom has us winning 86-59.

he’s been to the S16 or further in three of the last five tourneys and has a win in 5/6 tourney appearances at Tennessee. he’s doing a lot better than most.

Texas isn’t going to hire a guy who is just now getting his first taste of D-1 Hoops.

a story that’s unique to rick barnes…and 98% of other cbb coaches. not sure if you’ve noticed, but getting to the second weekend is hard, while winning the whole thing is a pipe dream for most. btw, i’ll never forget walking into Allen Fieldhouse three years ago and seeing FOUR- count em, FOUR total national title banners (they would win their 5th that year). a bona fide blue blood with now five total titles since the tourney started in 1941, despite regularly being a top seed with the best players and coaches in the sport. i don’t know when or how failing to win a national title became this huge black mark on a HC’s resume, but as far as annual championships go it’s the hardest one to win in all of sports. rick barnes is on the short list of best active coaches to never win one, with the likes of mark few, bruce pearl, and kelvin sampson. Texas fans are the last ones to be in a position to trash a coach who is in that echelon and who regularly goes to the second weekend when we’ve been there once since 2008.

3 of the last 5 tourneys it’s ended with his team in the S16 or E8.

now then, with all of that said, i could not possibly give any fewer fucks about what our shitass schedule does for our net rating. caring about that is a loud and clear telltale sign that we need a new HC/staff. bubble teams worry about NET rankings. a program like Texas, whose last three coaches are currently in charge teams no.1, 9, and 17 in the AP poll should worry about being battle tested and playing against a)several S16 caliber teams and b)teams ranked 150-200 in the non conference, not playing 3 of the 5 worst teams in America in a short span before conference play. it sucks for the fans and it doesn’t help the team at all. NET rating will not win us games in march. it’s dumb.

derka here. immamac banned me for nothing (for the 10th time). this is the account i use to browse surly when he does that. after a third party reached out on my behalf to try and reason with him he was his predictably unreasonable, asshole self, and i’m not going to sit here and abstain from bothering absolutely no one while actually contributing a lot to his shitass site just evacuate he’s a huge fucking cunt. if he wants to ban me again for literally nothing then i guess he can what he wants, even if he is legitimately worse than katy agnor and his mere presence on this site spits in the face of why shaggy was founded. fuck immamac and everything he stands for. i’m here to post about basketball.
