Goddamnit.  The University President woke up to a mugshot of his head basketball coach on the front page of ESPN. 

Doesn't matter after that.  He said, she said, who gives a shit?  That won't fly at the University of Texas, period. 

The individual circumstances of that individual night are immaterial.  It would have happened eventually anyway given their temperaments. 

Beard should have dumped her when he had the chance.  He didn't, so here we are.

Yep. Can't trust the decision making of anyone that lets that situation happen.

I heard so much Chris Beard hate at the NCAAs in Milwaukee from everyone other than Ole Miss fans. If you've ever been to the games, you know there's tons of knowledgable college bball fans all around. The banter going around in the arena is half of the fun.

I heard a variation of "Chris Beard is a great coach but a total piece of shit" so many times over the course of the weekend.

The Beard apologists would have been begging for Charlie Strong or Tom Herman to be fired if they'd been accused of what Beard was accused of. Tells you all you need to know about those folks.

The petty sports fan in me hopes that's the case. My worst case scenario - and I think it's an entirely possible one - is that he overachieves at Ole Miss, gets a job at a blueblood school like Kentucky, goes on to win multiple national championships, and what happened at Texas ends up being part of a redemptive story, much like being fired for being drunk at football practice as the head coach, caused Sarkisian to get fired from his dream job. 

The best side of me hopes for redemptive arcs for all of us. But the redemptive side of me is not posting on the Texas basketball message boards. 

I think it's easy to back seat drive. I'm quite adept at it. A big part of the issue is that she acted ridiculous on the trip to Madison Square Garden to the point plenty of people took Beard aside to tell him her behavior was unacceptable and he'd have to do something about it. That's why he was living/sleeping in the guest bedroom. She knew how to press his buttons. She got him worked up. He knew what she was doing so he recorded the conversation. She escalated and called the police. He had no concerns about it and felt like he'd be able to talk to them about the situation to deescalate. She told the police he grabbed her around the throat which was an immediate trip to the local jail. Whether that actually occurred or whether that was partially engineered by the police I don't think it's clear, but when someone in an organization has a tool that they think can help solve situations they're going to use it, even if at times it ends up being an abuse of it. That's not unique to law enforcement. 

Once he was arrested the priority became not having it go to trial, NOT appeasing UT about keeping his job. He probably thought he could do both. But wherever there was a conflict between the two he chose the advice of his lawyer over requests from Texas. 

In the end, it doesn't matter. He was arrested for choking his girlfriend, whether it happened or not. How many other head basketball coaches are getting arrested for choking their girlfriends every year? You simply can't have that happen to you at UT. You just can't. You can be an assistant. You can be a player. But you can't be the head coach of one of the major revenue sports and expect to keep your job in that situation. The optics aren't going to allow for it. There were a million and one decisions that led to the police appearing at his door to follow up on his girlfriend's phone call. A different decision anywhere along the line that didn't create the situation where he was answering the door trying to explain the circumstances that led to the phone call would have kept him in his job. But that's not where we are and that's just how it is.

I hope he ends up drunk in a ditch somewhere
