Wait—what are you hearing on RT? You’re the billion dollar donor on this board.

I’ve never claimed to be anything but adjacent to some people who are and that eavesdropping is one of my super powers. 
I left last night feeling comfortable he’s done.

Do they have a 31 flavors?

A lot of baggage in college hoops with the Adidas bullshit. I think there’s enough good names out there, that we don’t have to go in those direction.  
 

I want Oats, but I understand the best we can probably do is McCasland. So be it.

With what CDC has done, I don't believe there is a "best we can probably do."

Are we talking about Oats specifically?  Sankey has waited about a decade for SEC hoops to get this good. I doubt he wants Texas to rock the boat, and would prefer they hire outside of the conference. 
 

I don’t think it’ll prevent CDC from doing whatever he wants, but it might be out there. 
 

Bama has gotten serious about hoops, invested in the program, and made a great hire. Good for them.

Slippery slope there.   We just pulled Schloss from aggy who is somewhat in the sec.  If not him we allegedly were gonna go after vitello

I don’t think CDC gives a crap. He stole Beard from another conference school. He stole Schloss days before we officially became SEC members.

just went ahead and reached out to someone i trust, and he said that this search will *not* just be cdc making the call. said that cdc will be involved, but that the big money collective has gotten together and have basically said, “its time” to make a big boy move, and as such they will have a lot of say and sway in the matter. said oats is at the top of the list. 

Just go ahead and say it. You PM'd @closetojumping.

he's been at Gonzaga since 1989

I guess there's always a number someone will say yes to, but I just don't see him leaving. He has it so dicked. Lives in the middle of nowhere. Doesn't have to deal with any boosters or bullshit. Gonzaga has sneaky money (no, it isn't Texas money but it's more than you think) and just gets to lay low and no one bugs him.

he could retire tomorrow. ut has very little basketball culture. it's a complete rebuild job

rebuilds don’t take more than 1-2 seasons these days. a coach like that at a school like this could easily be in the S16 in year two.

Yes and no. It's not your typical rebuild job: brand new arena, lots of BMD and NIL $, top tier market... It's not a bad situation.

all believable, but until someone does it and can be consistent i'll believe it

62 isn’t that old anymore. plenty of guys are coaching well into their 70’s these days. rick barnes was 61 when he took over at Tennessee and not only has it worked out extremely well, he doesn’t appear to be slowing down. no reason to think few couldn’t do the same, or even better, here at Texas.

Pitino is 72 and in his second year at St Johns, and he's got them in the top 10 and probably winning the Big East. I can promise the Texas job isnt as big a rebuild as that St Johns gig was.

that piece of shit should have been banned for life for multiple, multiple, multiple, multiple offenses on top of more multiple offenses

new ncaa rule - if your school has to vacate a title, the head coach is banned for life, but can appeal after 5 years

Oh he's a scumbag for sure, I'm just stating that people who say 60 is too old, or you need more than two years in todays world of NIL and unlimited transfers have their head up their ass. We saw what Beard did here in two years with basically no roster when he showed up. We have money, we'll buy players. I hate thats what college athletics is these days, and my give a fuck is about 10% what it once was, but Texas has a lot of advantages that aren't easily duplicated elsewhere.

i'd imagine cdc has a target and a short list 

I do not readily keep up with UT basketball that often, but Pat Kelsey seems like a guy who is going to win a bunch of tournament games in the next several years at Louisville. I think he could handle coaching in Austin. Louisville is just on year one though so I am sure he has no desire to pick up and leave after bringing them back from the dead to near the top of the ACC again.
