Looks like he'll be the video coordinator.

Ok, he can stay.

Chatting to a local friend who went to Stanford, he asked "how long until you have to build faculty housing like we do?". Had not thought about that but that likely is coming at this pace.

Morrell is now a 38 year old head coach at UNC-Ashville, Horn is now head coach at Northern Kentucky, Jai Lucas is one of the best recruiters in CBB and an assistant at Kentucky. 
 

not to be Debbie downer but the UTEP, and UTA head Coach aren’t leagues better than what Shaka’s initial group has accomplished since leaving. 

They actually are leagues better. The head coach is too. Add in his  player development guy and this is one of the best staffs in college basketball, especially with the addition of Howard. That means Ogden or Terry will be in some kind of analyst/basketball ops position, waiting in the wings when Maligi or Howard get a head coaching job. This is a very well connected staff. Shaka had Lucas with ties in the area but he had zero coaching chops. To be honest, the initial staffs shouldn’t be compared. Beard’s wins in every way.

i am extremely gruntled with the assistants we are bringing in. it's easily the no.1 reason that i'm not unavoidably focused on our lack of, you know, an actual basketball team. even if this next year suuuuucks (watch us have a Bad News Bears roster that trounces Shaka's Jarrett Allen-led 11-win roster), there is every reason to believe that recruiting is going to be out of this world going forward, and that Chris Beard will be able to maximize said talent. i mean shit, i hate doing this- i always try my best to be the last guy who goes full-on blinders/uber positive just because we have a new coach, but just look at the bona fides of our new HC/assistants. these guys are all known commodities. Beard is not fucking around at all. 

what i'm about to say should in no way be interpreted as me saying that the 2023-24 Longhorns are the CBB equivalent of the 2016 Cubs, BUT- the only other time i've ever felt this way regarding a regime change was when the Cubs brought in Theo Epstein and Joe Maddon, and we all obviously know that in that instance it *did* result in a championship. That said, CBB titles are exceedingly difficult to win. A sampling of head coaches with one NCAA title:

Phog Allen, Frank McGuire, Pete Newell, Al McGuire, John Thompson, Rollie Massimino, Larry Brown, Lute Olsen, Jim Boeheim, Tom Izzo (Tom fucking Izzo!!!), Bill Self (best HC in NCAA last 20 years), John Calipari, and more.

I think that people around here are so used to crushing Barnes for never winning a title that they've all forgotten/never realized how difficult it is to win one. Chris Beard doesn't need to win a national title at Texas to be a huge success, or even to be the best coach in program history. BUT- with his resume, and the work that his assistants have done in the past, plus the financial commitment from CDC, I cannot help but believing that Texas Basketball winning the national title could actually become a reality, as admittedly difficult and unlikely as that is. In my opinion, the Chris Beard era at Texas is off to an outstanding start.

And some of the coaches you listed didn’t have to win 6 games in a row to get their title, either. The tournament is a fickle bitch—she can put out and she can be ice cold...

2.     Frank McGuire https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_McGuire North Carolina 1957

You are right, I stand corrected.  1975 went to 32 not 64

https://www.ncaa.com/news/basketball-men/article/2021-03-14/march-madness-history-ultimate-guide

so add

1    Al McGuire https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_McGuire Marquette 1977

2    John Thompson https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Thompson  Georgetown 1984

ttto the list that did not have to win6 games in the tournament

all of which is to say that it is unbelievably hard to win the NCAA Tournament. It is one of, if not *the* most difficult titles to win in all of sports. in pro sports you can spend beacoup bucks and win a title. this is amateur (lol) sports. you have to win one game against a cupcake and then five consecutive games against good teams. it's as much of a gauntlet as any tournament out there.

When Clyde Drexler and Hakeem Olajuwon (both NBA Hall of Fame & in the 50 best NBA players of all time) cannot win an NCAA title while on the same team with three other NBA drafted players (Michael Young, Larry Micheaux, and Alvin Franklin) Houston Cougars 1982-83 then yes, I would say the NCAA tournament is difficult

Hope the best for Howard. He doesn’t add much from a coaching standpoint but he is the guy who will connect with the players on a human level. Lot of upside but lot of downside. His recruits were either boom or bust for us.

That makes six NBA drafted players (not the same year) on one college team (Houston Cougars 1982-83), and they didn't win the NCAA championship.  Either that was the worst coaching (Guy V. Lewis) effort ever, or the NBA teams were just wrong about everyone except Hakeem and Clyde.  Guy V. Lewis had another team with six NBA drafted players (not the same year) too (Houston Cougars 1983-84) that didn't win the NCAA championship either.  Although Drexler was not on the team that lost to Georgetown.

This is going to be 100% wrong but that seems to be your thing on this board. 

Matter of fact, Beard will likely land a 5 star in the '22 class.

Probably so. I just read that some dude recruited by us flipped to Texas. Also, looks like you guys are getting Kyler Edwards....which is confusing. Since he said he was coming back to Tech after we hired Coach Adams. But now he has changed his mind again. 
 

So. Id say with Texas current roster plus Beard, Kyler, and grad transfers. At least one NCAA tournament win. Maybe two if yall get to play in Fort Worth.

Haven't heard anything about Kyler Edwards leaving Tech.

I saw on twitter he removed RR4L (Red Raider 4 Life) from his profile around the same time Tyson committed to Texas.

He's removed almost everything on his social media about returning to Tech. 

This can't be true though. Tech fans told me Mark Adams was some type of god that was really running the show.

$4M is probably the budget for the salaries of Adams and his assistants.

2M per season for Adams, 1.5M for assistants. 
 

40M state of the art basketball facility about to open, but pfft, Womble donated the cash for that. Helps down the road, but this next season seems like we will be taking a few steps back.

This is getting to the point on crowd sourcing... we haven’t had a good basketball fatawa and I am generally against that outside of the football board, but this acting like a little bitch act is getting fucking old.  Shut the fuck up, get through the stages of grief and move the fuck on.

Eh, Doyle is on a rampage.  Shooting up autographed basketballs with a 12 gauge, feeding catfish dog food, snorting Bitcoin, investing in cocaine, etc.  He's on Day 7 of a post-Beard bender, slumped over the wheel of his F350 right now in the driveway of a tin shack outside Post painted neon green and covered in cattle shit; the building is full of fat, sloppy hookers trafficked from a migrant farm near Clovis that worked him over good and then stole all the cash (and his Regal Rewards card) out of his wallet-on-a-chain; he's got his pecker hanging out, drool on the steering column, and dried jizz on the front of his grease-resistant work pants.

Let him be.

Hey, is this the kind of retard that drools and rubs shit in his hair and all that? Cuz I'm gonna have a hard time eatin' 'round that kind of thing now. Just like I am with antique furniture and midgets.

You know that, I can't so much as drink a damn glass of water around a midget or a piece of antique furniture. I ain't saying it's right, I'm just telling the damn truth. He'll make me sick. I know it.
