watch the Georgia players.  They are constantly up in our face, 2 hands on us a lot(why not, they wont call it), shoving us on offense.  Meahwhile we let guys go right by us without even getting a hand on them

it’s just kinda funny remembering how many people were straight up advocates for RT when he was hired, talking about how he’s never had resources like this before, how he “led” Texas to the elite 8, now it was wildly premature to say that he wasn’t gonna cut it. as if we didn’t have ~30 years of him being a college coach with which to form an opinion on him. he is who we (most of us) thought knew he was. this is the worst basketball at Texas since Kaiser Bob. unwatchable.

Look, Derka, you’re just gonna have to accept the fact that you’re smarter than all of us. Ok buddy??

zero pride almost zero talent

These guys are all mercenaries … it’s all about the Benjamin’s with no fucks given about the school for most of em

They’ve been given clearance to freelance on offense and develop shitty habits on defense

No telling how the schooling is going but they’d be getting shitty grades for their basketball if it were a course

Coaches really will do anything to not call a TO. He had a use it or lose it with one possession left and got lucky that Tre mishandled the ball. It is a crazy coaching world right now.

I thought he'd earned a shot with the best tournament showing in well over a decade.  I also liked the way the kids loved him.  And after watching a parade of highly touted coaches in two sports flame out, I thought why count this guy out just because he's not a big name?

But I'd have much rather had Beard the whole time.  I don't think anybody was all gung ho for Terry like you're making it sound.

I don't know and don't really care. He left for Memphis who is worse than Texas. Hunter wasn't saving shit this season. 

Mitchell staying would have helped, imo.

It was mentioned Pope was a downgrade from Hunter so someone thinks he could've.🤷‍♂️

Thanks guys for ruining Hook ‘Em for me for life… there is no way I won’t think of that now every time I see him.

Lets keep the comments about basketball because I heard these guys are great in their classes.  We will not degrade these guys because they are not being coached properly.

Well said Tex. I was optimistic about RT and wasn't ready to give up on him until fairly recently. 

Shaka was just so, so fucking bad that it probably ruined my expectations for Texas basketball.

I hope RT does well wherever he goes next and I'm glad that he's going to get a fat check because he stepped up and helped drag Texas out of the desert. 

Ultimately - he just wasn't good enough - and that's okay. We have a badass AD who will right the ship. 

I have RT way above guys like Strong or Smart. He's more like a Herman for me.

nothing that i said was inaccurate or blown out of proportion. in fact i brought up specific talking points from the pro-RT crowd. there were legit contentious arguments on this forum where several people insisted that it was premature to judge how RT would do at Texas, for all those reasons i listed. we had enough tape on him to know better.

Doj is one of the all time underrated Longhorns. outstanding defender, crazy athlete, and a dream floor leader/break runner. just couldn’t shoot to save his life.
