I don't know basketball like many of you.  I know z likes Billy D, but are there other dark horse candidates? He pulled Sark who came with coaches and a game plan for the future (and it worked), Schloss on BB who was a given commodity. Other sports seem to be world class still.  Just thinking CDC may have something brewing.

Fastest coach to 50 wins and either a conference tournament or regular season championship in the first 3 years if his career. Also add 2 sweet 16s so far. Thats better than most we have talked about.

Lloyd would be a big time hire. Anyone thinking it's Oats, Billy Donovan or bust is going to be disappointed.

Lloyd would be appropriate. Wouldn't call that hire "big time". 

I mean (throws up in mouth) this is Texas and I think the money is there. 

I think CDC gets a name here.

Yes, there are. This isn’t a Donovan or bust scenario. Don’t get caught up in that.

I think you're right. We're not going into no-mans land on this. CDC has his football, baseball coach - now his BB coach.

At this point? Probably not due to his age. If he was 5-10 years younger I'm a firm believer that money talks and doubling his salary would pull him away. Texas has more access to NIL resources than Houston. That would appeal to most big names.

If RT is gone CDC already has an agreement with his replacement.  CDC doesn’t wing it

It’s pretty clear some of the loudest “fire terry and don’t hire this corch” fans are the ones who don’t even watch (or support) Texas basketball or college basketball in general.

Scipio Tex's piece late last night was fairly scathing, and pretty much echoes my thoughts. Still waiting to hear from all the people who demanded that we hire Terry.

Now Texas decides if it wants to eat a $5.4 million buyout and hire a basketball coach.

Or run it back for another year – perhaps due to a lack of appealing options – and watch the enthusiasm for the only other profit center sport at Texas utterly crater.

Expand  

If those are the only 2 options, I'm 99.9% sure CDC would rather eat the buyout than watch RT struggle to get 80% of the crowd that Vic will next season.

i’m beyond sick of this fundamentally unsound, low iq basketball. the next guy needs to be obsessed with playing the right way. that’s a trait that’s shared by pretty much every elite coach in the game.

Yeah, my #1 thing, besides recruiting, is style of play and coaching.

RT lacked the latter two things - his coaching was atrocious and there was no style of play that was pleasing to the eye.

It's amazing that people pay guys like that for info. 

Like I know for a fact that RT is gone and I'm not paying my car insurance through $9.95 residuals. 

All you need is pattern recognition and some insight and to not be a blathering idiot being fed misinformation. There are easily a dozen posters here across every men's big 3 sport that I trust more than Burton or Hamilton.

I thought Xavier played a very entertaining brand of high tempo basketball last night 

I’d be happy to see that style at Texas 

The 500 lb assistant coach is the only dealbreaker in my mind

Jesus Kurt, play this out in your head. Texas very publicly whiffs on all of their targets, for some inexplicable reason. We bring back Terry, who is the lamest duck coach in the history of lame duck coaches. We win about nine games next season while hundreds of people fill the Moody Center for every home game.

I’m not sure if one person who was saying “just hire RT, he deserves it” or some shit like that has even shown up to eat crow. If I remember correctly, most of those dudes were the bros who don’t even watch Texas basketball and only watch during the tournament. 

There were plenty of us on here screaming at anyone who would listen that hiring him permanently was the worst, absolute worst, mistake The University could make. 

And here we are.

And the team had no discipline. Them talking shit and starting shit during the Alabama game when Alabama was murdering us on our home court was such a terrible, juvenile look.

But Texas was never not going to hire him after that run. The hire should have surprised no one.

Eh. I thought they had to hire him after the elite eight run even though it was unlikely to work out long-term. Like most people thought, it didn’t work out, and now we are looking for a new coach two years later.  If that’s the result of the “absolute worst mistake” the University could make, I guess we’re pretty fortunate.

The only people that thought “we had to hire Terry” after that EE run are Texas fans who put too much emphasis on perception. 

No one else would have cared if we said thanks but no thanks and hired someone else. The news cycle moves too quickly for people to get caught up in that for more than 48 hours.

There are few institutions that put more emphasis on perception than the University of Texas.

The hiring of Rodney Terry in 2023 was one of the least shocking things imaginable.
