Sounds Like Barnes Hiring is Imminent

If he becomes ours, I'm all in with him until he proves I shouldn't be.

We can at least give him a clean slate.

 

**** it. If hat thinks the hire is decent, I'll shut up and see how he does.

One thing I do know, it could have been a LOT worse.

 

Good coaches always lose in the second round of the tournament to USC by 19 with Kevin Durant and D.J. Augustin. Totes.

 

Wasn't that against Tim Floyd ?

 

He wouldn't have been one of my Top 10 choices.

 

Why did he not get it done when it mattered at Texas?

 

The farther you go in the tournament the talent eventually equalizes.

Check the HCs in the final 4 right now.

 

The morons that run the athletic department are making me miss the Bruce Pearl days, and I hate that SOB more than anyone on this site.

 

Which is probably for the best, in terms of your happiness.

 

you guys all being miserable all the time really doesn't affect my happiness

 

I'm pretty happy in my daily life, despite the athletic department at UT having their fingers up their collective asses. I want to complain that they could have and should have done better. So what?

 

also you guys apparently take comments like that way too seriously

 

I asked the same question over the weekend and, honestly, this seems to be his biggest flaw.

 

This is the third basketball hire in a row that has left me limp.

 

Not looking to open a can of worms here but, from my semi-casual BB fan point-of-view, I've never understood why so many on here hated BP with such vitriol.

He dropped the dime on an opposing coach, I got that, but...is there more of which I'm just not aware?

Honest question... (and sorry in advance)

 

I've always thought he was a huge hypocrite going back to the Deon Thomas scandal. I get it - Coaches cheat - But don't try to play the victim and innocent guy all of the time. I wasn't a fan of his style either, until his last two years at Tennessee. Saying that, I wish him nothing but the best and feel that everyone deserves a second or third chance.

 

What really matters is how he'll look in the orange blazer. I think better than the last two.

 

Could be a blood pressure issue.

 

Personal dislike was fallaciously* conflated with coaching acumen to minimize what was an undeniably successful run at UT.

*as opposed to fellatiously, the latter of which probably isn't a word, but almost certainly should be.

 

Yes.

Maybe if Barnes had also had Lebron James on the team he could have stayed within single digits.
