I was about to suggest that the biggest head already rolled.

Yeah if Center was willing to throw away his reputation just to help fund the tennis center because the school was dragging its feet, heads should roll at Texas.

A worse scenario would be that somebody in the admin knew about and encouraged this as a "workaround".  If so, that person will probably be ratted out and is also toast.

Sad !      Maybe Patterson will be indicted.

 

At the time, former athletic director Steve Patterson told Center and UT tennis alumni that they alone would have to raise the funds for a new facility. Normally, the school takes out long-term debt for most facility projects.

As expected, Bruce Berque is the interim head coach.

"per me"

I finally found an attribution even dumber than everyone around here who gives credit to TFloss for other people's work.

[perfectchaos007 6728]

Just because of “per me” I hope that uninspired operation name he came up with never catches on. It’s undeserved. The hubris of brian Davis

That was the FBI's unofficial name for the investigation, I think

Ah okay. Just looked like he was taking prideful credit for coming up with that. 

[Aleemay 304]

Looks like Chris Camillone has stepped in and coaching on the court right now

[perfectchaos007 6728]

The team was understandably distracted today but still pulled off a 5-2 win over Rice. Up next: #1 Ohio State this Thursday on LHN

LETS GO BOYS!!!!

[Aleemay 304]

Ohio State lost to the Ags the other day. It was their first outdoor match of the season (and first loss). Hopefully they're still not adjusted Thursday.

From former player Michael Riechmann... 

Quote

As a player of his, I'm absolutely shocked lmao. The funny part is the aforementioned kid showed up on our roster for 2 days and we found it strange at the time but now it all makes sense. Center is an absolute class act and nice dude but guess you can't always judge a book by his cover.

Nope, that would have been extremely funny, but we never had the pleasure of meeting the kid. He just showed up on our roster ... and I'm starting to think my coach ****** that up as part of the whole keeping it secret part lmao.

That's the surprising part more than anything ... Like he had an extremely cush job with so many extra benefits it made no sense to me.

 

[ClubWhatever 12187]

Where did you get those quotes lmao?

So.. I take it this is going to be a lengthy search or is there a heir apparent to this position?

Will be a lengthy search. CDC took his time with track and softball. Has shown he wants the cream of the crop.

Most likely nobody will properly have an interview until after the season is over in mid May.

A bit sad to see Center go. I've had conversations with him in the past and he's a really sociable and relatable person. Unfortunately greed got the best of him.

Edited March 14, 2019 by Aleemay

[ClubWhatever 12187]

Oh, well, since he’s looked into it....

[spystud13 2371]

He forgot, “per me”.

I was a longhorn tennis camp camper in the early 2000's. He was one of the guys running the camp so thats how I met him

Good crowd today even during spring break week. Texas takes the doubles point against Ohio State....the first doubles point Ohio State has dropped all year.

[perfectchaos007 6728]

Ohio states best player is playing a pro tournament this week. Good chance to steal a win like aggy did earlier this week 

[texasstrong12 4668]

 

[Js1 85988]

Coach fired then beat #1. What a week lol

[texasstrong12 4668]

Seems like there is a lot working in the favor on this hire. New facilities, good team, and apparently a good recruiting class coming in (assuming the next coach can keep them). 

 

[Machinator 32099]

Who needs a coach? They seem to be doing pretty well without one.

[Aleemay 304]

Win should move Texas up to #2 in the computer rankings next week

[perfectchaos007 6728]

The cake truly is baked for whichever coach takes the reigns of this program. It would be tough for almost any coach to turn down 

[Aleemay 304]

Surprised at the number 1 ranking considering Ohio State and Texas are tied H2H and Ohio State was playing without their top player last week. This is the human poll. On the computer polls, Texas is still number 3.

[Js1 85988]

Still pretty impressive for a team that doesn't have a permanent head coach.

If this team achieves something great this year (Big 12 title and a long run in the tournament), does Berque get the job? It would be the easiest transition and he's been a head coach. 

Edited March 20, 2019 by Js1

[Aleemay 304]

Problem with Berque is that he'd be a step down when looking at his coaching tenure at Michigan. Only advanced to Sweet 16 once, never won a conference championship (in a conference with only two powerhouses), only one ever top 20 final ranking...

If this team makes a deep run, questions also remain how much of this is Center's work

[perfectchaos007 6728]

 

Tennis is more about recruiting than game day Xs and Os. Development is important as well but cases like Colin Markes are too few and far in between to rely on lower ranked recruits developing into starters by their senior year. You really have to get a couple of blue chip recruits annually to be a good team. Center had been doing very well from a recruiting standpoint over the past 6 years starting with Soren-Hess and as a result we’ve had some very good teams in the latter half of this decade. We need a proven recruiter for our next coach... Someone who has a record of landing the best foreign and domestic tennis players. We’re not looking for the Mensa of tennis here

[texifornia 57602]

As a CU alum, this is the one time a year I don't pull for Texas. Our legendary coach Bid Goswami is retiring after this year, and this is about the best team he's ever had, so the motivation level vs. Texas' coaching situation is interesting.

 

[perfectchaos007 6728]

Columbia lost to TCU just a couple days ago so they’ll be hungry to leave the state of Texas with a win.

[perfectchaos007 6728]

6-1 win for the good guys (not Columbia)

Aw shucks. Congrats!

[perfectchaos007 6728]

 Tough 4-2 lost to USC today. We swept them last time we played them a couple months ago.  Now conference play begins and it’s tough as ever 

[perfectchaos007 6728]

7-0 victory tonight over #29 TTech. At #29, Tech is the lowest ranked Big 12 team so it gets much tougher from here

[spystud13 2371]

About to lose the doubles point to Baylor on LHN. 

[perfectchaos007 6728]

Yeah I'm watching. Baylor really took it to us in doubles
