I think the theories have run their course and were useful for the shock stage of grief - you know when it’s so shocking you actually laugh instead of cry - and now we settle in for the long haul. Beard’s gone. Bet he’s asked to explain himself, I bet he declines on advice of counsel and he’s fired by Friday. While we are focused on his job his lawyer is telling him to focus on his freedom and liberty. It’s time to put his name out of our minds and focus on someone else. A year from now we will find out if he’s a prisoner or just a chump but his up side is chump not champion. 

It will actually be an interesting day.  Either his lawyer comes out guns blazing with facts that contradict the arrest report, or more likely, those facts don't exist, there is supporting physical evidence, and Beard potentially just resigns to avoid getting fired

Yep.  My Day One shock has worn off, and I've accepted the fact that we had hired a bad ass coach who could have taken our hoops program to another level, but regardless of the ultimate outcome of his criminal case, he fucked up beyond all repair, he's gone, and now we're hoping we can hire someone as good as Shaka Smart.

This is spot on.  I have a friend who was charged with assault with many extenuating circumstances.  His employer asked for his side of the story, he declined on advice of his attorney, he was fired two days later and 3 years later all charges were dropped.  He moved on, so did his employer.  The justice system moves slow, employers can't afford to wait it out and give employees the benefit of the doubt only to have egg on their face at a later date.

If you’re mad that men are treated way harsher for partner abuse than women, you might place some serious blame on “the good ol’ days.” There was a time not too long ago when it was not illegal to beat your wife. Some old court decisions even say that a husband was legally obligated to strike his wife is she spoke out of turn or did pretty much anything a woman wasn’t supposed to do. Even if you view it as an “overcorrection” (I don’t) it’s pretty well deserved to make sure people know that that shit doesn’t fly anymore. You might also blame other men, the ones who do in fact beat their partners for mundane shit like burning the casserole. It’s still a massive problem that happens frequently. The lesson in all this is that if your lady is indeed a hitter or otherwise abusive, just gtfo, you’ll never win the “she was the aggressor” argument. You might avoid criminal charges in some rare situations of inexplicable proof that she posed a serious physical threat, but will still almost always lose the PR battle. There’s plenty of other people you can bang who won’t put your livelihood at risk.

PS to note that I don’t know if she was a crazy or abusive person but there are indications that the relationship was hostile. The above applies regardless of this particular case.

There was already going to be a ton of turnover after the season.  So in one way, having to replace the coach won’t affect the roster so much as most of it was already expected to depart.  
 

new arena and maybe a 5 million per year contract ought to be attractive to some good coaches, you’d hope. 
 

but hopefully the guys want to perform this season and play hard until it’s time to go.

That should be very attractive to a lot of coaches. 

[CheesePie 238]

I’m prefacing by acknowledging Beard’s actions must be accounted for, he strangled his wife and must live with the consequences of that terrible action. With that, I’m curious how extensive these recordings with his wife are? It could be that he only recorded the one incident on Monday morning and very little substance comes from them. It could also be that he’s recorded multiple of these altercations over a longer period of time. Their relationship appears to have been troubled for some time. I wonder if this case takes on a Johnny Depp v Amber Heard quality where extensive audio recordings are a key evidence point in the court of public opinion. 
 

The concept of recording conversations isn’t foreign for College Basketball coaches who do shady shit in recruiting.

She very well might do that - it’s not uncommon in domestic violence incidents in general, and she has way more incentive than most to recant and try to keep $5million a year coming in and the lifestyle that goes with it.  But I don’t think it matters at this point because Beard already pretty much admitted he got violent even if he says he wasn’t the aggressor.  Nobody would believe them and would just assume it happened but now she had a change of heart for dollars or because that’s just their toxic pattern.

And I would imagine she had plenty to do with instigating the fight, to be honest, considering her own story to the police still begins with, “I broke his glasses for no reason.”  She seems volatile, she very well may have attacked him first, etc.   But it doesn’t matter.  It seems very likely his response to whatever happened went beyond self defense, and if she has bruises and bite marks while he already admitting he got physical - then he’s toast.

This assumes that both parties will stay in the relationship after this event.

Yeah, sounds like by the standards of today, standard operating procedure says he’s gone, and probably regardless of any thoughts of letting the legal process play out.  But I say that while acknowledging that decision is made tougher by the FACT that a football school, with a fan base that really has never supported the basketball program, seems to have won the lottery with the Beard hire strictly speaking from a basketball perspective in spite of the program’s realities already outlined above.  You had found your Darrell Royal/Mack Brown for the basketball program displaying almost immediate results, and I think we’ve all experienced that it’s not easy to find the “next one” despite UT’s apparent financial and other advantages.

No one has beef with Terry. If you follow basketball and the program, you know that Terry isn’t a HC. He’s a great recruiter and assistant. That’s fine. People need to be in those roles. He’s not a HC at a major P5 program. He’s has something like a (.510) winning percentage as a college head coach.

That’s what I was thinking the move is if I’m Beard (and her) regarding the incident- she testifies it was all her lies and she choked/hit/bit herself (going to be bad if the bite is somewhere on her body she can’t get her mouth on) she sells it hard and we and UT all pretend we want to believe her and move on. 

some sort of “mistakes were made, I’m not pressing charges” won’t do him any good with UT. 

Note- I’m not saying this is what happened and I’m 99% sure this didn’t happen like this. Just saying the only thing that could possibly get him to keep his job. 

If I was crazy redhead I’d tell that lie rather than lose my meal ticket and I’d sell the hell out of it, complete with counseling for alcohol or whatever other show I needed to put on. 1/2 of 100M over there next 15-20 years is a lot better than coaching JR high volleyball and teaching PE.
