As simple as I can say it:
Take where TTU Basketball was as a program before they hired Chris Beard; look where the program is now, and all that it has accomplished since Beard's hiring.
Take where UT Basketball was as a program before we hired Rick Barnes; look where the program is now, and all that it accomplished after hiring Barnes.
Its not close. TTU is a good story and an up-and-coming program that may be a basketball powerhouse for years to come. The future is super bright for TTU, no doubt a out it.
Texas otoh is a national name, a national brand in college basketball, something that it was not before Barnes, TJ, KD, et al. It took 10+ years of Sweet 16's, All Americans, multiple NPOY's, and eventual NBA All Stars for Texas to reach this profile, but we did it, because of Barnes (and TJ, and KD, and PJ, and LA, et al). Texas jumped a few rungs in the hierarchy of college basketball under Rick Barnes. I'm sure Beard will eventually do the same at TTU.
