Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted March 24, 2015 Report Posted March 24, 2015 I'm still hearing he's gone. Not sure the delay. Might have something to do with replacements still coaching or recently eliminated. It wont be Marshall. Quote
TxHoops Posted March 24, 2015 Report Posted March 24, 2015 It wont be Marshall. What have you heard there? Quote
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted March 24, 2015 Report Posted March 24, 2015 What have you heard there? Very good chance he stays at WSU, I guess a new contract in the works. Better than going to Bama and rebuild a non bball power. Quote
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted March 27, 2015 Report Posted March 27, 2015 I hear Barnes staying put but hiring new assistants, is this true?? Quote
Peppermint Patty Posted March 27, 2015 Report Posted March 27, 2015 Very good chance he stays at WSU, I guess a new contract in the works. Better than going to Bama and rebuild a non bball power. Bama is going to offer $3M per year. That's a big pile of money. Quote

Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted March 27, 2015 Report Posted March 27, 2015 Bama is going to offer $3M per year. That's a big pile of money. If Van Vleet and Baker bolt to the NBA then id feel safe in saying he leaves but he has everyone back next yr almost, only losing 2 seniors, he will have a top10 team next season. WSU im sure will throw some money at him. I think Bama should go after Shaka Smart since Barnes staying put. @SInow: Report: Texas AD says Rick Barnes needs to change program http://on.si.com/1Csxfju http://twitter.com/SInow/status/581308287758499840/photo/1 Quote
TxHoops Posted March 27, 2015 Report Posted March 27, 2015 Patterson is the worst. Seriously. If only he had the cajones he tells anyone who will listen he has. Every player who can is going to bolt now. And we delay the inevitable one more year. Quote
TxHoops Posted March 27, 2015 Report Posted March 27, 2015 Really, in CBB, a head coach driven sport much more than CFB, the assistants are the problem? Let's start by getting rid of Jai Lucas, the only legitimate recruiter on the staff, now that Barnes' reputation is mud among the top recruits :rolleyes: So incredibly stupid. Quote
Peppermint Patty Posted March 27, 2015 Report Posted March 27, 2015 Welp, looks like he's gone. http://247sports.com/Bolt/Expecting-a-change-at-Texas-36439238 Quote

TxHoops Posted March 27, 2015 Report Posted March 27, 2015 Yes!! Thank goodness. I have heard he had no chance to return and then read those articles... Absolutely ridiculous since the assistants were about the only thing holding the program together, most notably Lucas. Please get this done yesterday. Quote
Coach85 Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Posted March 28, 2015 I hope Patterson makes the right choice. We saw that he goes with the underdog candidate in football and made, what I think, a good choice. But, this is supposed to be his specialty so let's see where he goes with this. TxHoops 1 Quote

Makes him look like a stand up guy. No way he was coming back after the train wreck this season turned out to be. TxHoops 1 Quote

My glass is half full most of the time also, unless I'm drinking then it's half empty. Quote
TxHoops Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 Great spin. My glass is half full most of the time also, unless I'm drinking then it's half empty. Don't you have a 9th place conference finish to celebrate? Or a state recruiting championship? Oh, I forgot, only took Chuck 6 wins to regain the top of the recruiting chain. #obsessionnoted #littlebrotherroleresumed Quote
HurricaneCal Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 I haven't been a Barnes fan since his riff with the late great Dean Smith. He's always been overrated. Listening to everyone on sports radio they think Marshall is the best guy because of the recruiting connections. Shaka with an outside shot but doesn't have the Texas connections. Quote

How much more money are they going to throw at him than Bama is? Quote
HurricaneCal Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 I would say about the same and try to sell Austin as a better place. Aren't they paying Barnes like 2.2 million a year. Quote
TxHoops Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 Okay - the firing assistants to save job was a farce. Allows Barnes to save face. Idk why this stuff happens when it all gets out anyway. Quote
TxHoops Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 How much more money are they going to throw at him than Bama is? Go to Austin. Go to Tuscaloosa. Repeat until you can't bear the thought of leaving Austin to go back to Tuscaloosa. Quote
TxHoops Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 Marshall is the leader in the clubhouse. Dark horse is Larry Krystkowiak. Barnes should be gone very quickly - today or tomorrow. Looks like a complete overhaul of staff. I think it's a huge mistake for anyone coming in not to retain Jai Lucas. Quote
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 Go to Austin. Go to Tuscaloosa. Repeat until you can't bear the thought of leaving Austin to go back to Tuscaloosa. Good point. Quote
HurricaneCal Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 UCONN women put a buck o five on the lady Longhorns, better making statements like UK men! Quote
