2022-23 NCAA Men's Basketball Thread

[Ellenson Guerrero]

Buzz is probably thinking he'd be in line for then UT job if the NCAA has followed his memo.

Texas needs an experienced coach with a squeaky clean image.   A coach of high character.   One that projects a wholesome corporate image.   One who can win the powerpoint and the press conference.  One with experience coming into a situation where the powers that be want to clean up the image of the program.

Texas wants to win. Don't think they care about much else.

Rick Pitino?

Rick Pitino?

His son over in New Mexico has had a hell of a start to the season.

Then why did they fire Beard???

Anyway, Texas is usually not a "win at all costs" type of place. They usually make pretty safe hires as far as reputation goes. Sarkisian may be the most "controversial" big hire they made, but he even went through a ton of rehabilitation first.

YES

Not an impressive team

I agree, Texas runs a fairly tight ship, hence Beard is gone. They hire good people and expect them to win at a high level without cheating. They want a Jay Wright.

Because he was charged for assault.

My point is, they're not going to hire a choir boy because of Beard's actions. They'll hire whomever they think will
Win them the most games.

My point is that's not the MO they have taken in the past.

Exactly. 

[Scoop Snoop]

Time to man up. I was so wrong when I said Beard would survive.

That might be a spot for him to come back to if he wants?  I think Jay wanted out partly because he wasn't thrilled with the direction of the sport and I'm not sure Texas is a better landing spot in that regard than Nova was/is but I'd imagine if he gets the itch, that's an attractive gig

Exactly.

Texas' only morality clause is winning.

You're making my point. Softball coach Mike White was a program builder at Oregon, who never had a whiff of trouble. Sark had his issues, but those were more along the lines of "personal demons" and not recruiting violations, etc.

And is really the best you can do showing a coach flipping off an umpire or swearing at a bowl official???  (BTW, White immediately apologized post game.)

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Time to man up. I was so wrong when I said Beard would survive.

I thought so too but that was before the details of the police report came out. Once those injuries were documented, it was going to be very hard for him to survive.

Jesus Tower, you just made the case to hire Wojo, especially the ability to win the Powepoint. Always knew you were a huge Wojo slurper.

Now there is an intelligent non comment.

So good

Simply 'tower' is enough.   Powepoint?   I rooted for Wojo to succeed at Marquette.
Thanks for the laughs.

The sigh? C'mon man man, a sigh turns you on? Thought you were the King of Comebacks? Shirley you can do better. How about something about a green horse.
