It's really not Rodney Terry's fault he took the offer to make millions of dollars we made him.  His buddies from his time with Barnes got him paid.

This was always going to be the result.

Hopefully CDC learned his lesson and won't promote an assistant coach to head coach without a coaching search ever again.

He was given every opportunity to succeed.

seven of their players attempted multiple threes; six of them shot 40% or better; five of them shot 50% or better. 

How many were wide open?

giving up 83 ppg in our losses.

And sadly, that's no small sample size. We'll look back at the miracle against aggy as this season's high-water mark.

Why was Terry hired in the first place? I always thought it was because there were no amazing sure-fire options available, correct?

Because our coach got arrested a month into the season and we still almost made the final 4.

The argument about him being hired is one thing, but it is blatantly obvious as to the reasoning of why he was hired. We had our best season in nearly 20 years with him at the helm (whether people want to credit him or not).

A black head coach at the university took a team shaken after its HC got canned in a huge scandal to the Elite Eight when the university had still been dealing with a lot of 2020-21 bad press and on campus feelings. He may or may not have deserved a shot based on pure qualifications, but doesn't take a rocket surgeon to see it was going to be a mess to let him go.

You considering Shaka Smart a “white hispanic” or using one of the old Spanish art pieces describing racial composition?

Yep.  I don't know why we have to rehash this 800 times a week, but we hadn't been to the Elite 8 since 2009.  It was a no-brainer. 

it didn't work out, just as most people expected, which is why the salary was low and the contract was pretty easy to get out of.  Assuming CDC is counting the 2022-23 as year 1, since RT did coach 30 games that season, this is year 3, and he will be thanked for providing stability and leadership after Beard shitcanned himself, but it is time to move on, because CDC doesn't live with getting blown out by 30 in conference games.

You can erase the word "black" there, boss.

Dude could have been lily white coaching in a KKK hood and he was getting the job after we got to the Elite 8.

A couple of 9.95ers have said Sean Miller indicated he would accept the job and was ready to make the jump. Then we kicked the crap out of his Xavier team in the Sweet 16 and the writing was on the wall.

During the run and before he was hired there was a very strong amount of “if you don’t hire him it is going to look bad” alluding to the reason it would look bad was because he was black. It was what it was.

It's the other aforementioned stuff too, but  Chip Brown recently mentioned this was also one of the reasons. He said CDC did sniff around. 

So I'm hopeful CDC has always known this might be a short term hire.

He had no choice given the situation.  

Had they done the smart thing and only suspended Beard for the season pending alcohol rehab and anger management it wouldn't have been a problem.

If Beard would’ve acquiesced to those conditions he’d probably still be here.
