  1. There is more to this than just talking in locker rooms or to the media. Fans never see what goes on outside of games. They don't see practices and film study and other activities. Coaches have to know how to press a kid's buttons so to speak. With some kids, a coach can get in their face and yell at him, and the kid will react positively.; Other times, you have to communicate with a kid in a different way for them to respond positively. Fans don't see that. It's human nature to want a name coach but a great coach can get his team to respond positively and so far, Coach Terry is doing that.
  2. Members of the jury, I rest my case.
  3. Not to be rude but it's irrelevant whether or not you have confidence in Coach Terry. The only things that matter is that the kids have confidence in the staff As far as being a player led team, that's more evidence that Coach Terry is doing a great job. Some coaches would force themselves on their team, but Coach Terry knows that he can depend on the players to keep everyone in line. These kids are playing for their teammates, and it takes a wise coach to let that and encourage that to happen. And for the record, at timeouts a lot of head coaches allow their assistant coaches to talk to the team in the huddle. That's not a sign of weakness but of strength.
  4. My .02. I recognize that things can change overnight but as of today, I have no Problems if Coach Terry is the current leader. Quite honestly, he has done more with this team than Coach Beard did. Not trying to be rude to anyone but there's a lot of nonsense on this thread. Who cares about the co-coach crap. Quite often, titles are given so a coach can get more money. AS far as constructing the team, no one on this board unless you're part of the current team knows what Coach Terry's involvement has been. Maybe it's minimal or maybe it's substantial. Do you think he might have taken a role in getting Rice to UT considering his UTEP teams played NMSU every year. It's also nonsense to try to compare his time at Fresno and UTEP with Austin. I will admit that it's probably tougher to recruit to Austin than either Fresno and El Paso and I suspect that his bball budget was probably greater at those 2 schools. And the grass isn't always greener on the other side.
  5. Thanks for posting. I had the privilege to meet Albert at a bball reunion several years ago. What a great guy. One of the sad things about sports is when teammates, coaches and other lettermen pass away. That's tough but it's great to know how much he was loved and loved the University. I suspect that somewhere in Heaven, Albert is putting together a bball team. RIP Albert.
  6. Great game guys. Games like this happen when you play for each other first. Enjoy tonight and focus on our next game. Great halftime adjustments, coaches.
  7. My cable is down. Does anyone have a link to the game? Thanks in advance.
  8. Don't want the circus that comes with the young man. I have nothing against him and wish him well but no thanks.
  9. Mo, I have no inside info on Hunter, but his problem may be more mental than physical. This is pure speculation but maybe Hunter didn't have much of a father figure growing up and he transferred to Texas because he saw Coach Beard as that father figure. That is far more common than you would think. Then one day, Coach is gone, and Hunter is devastated and sometimes it takes time to recover mentally. Our t shirt buddy doesn't understand that the mental side of the game is just as important as the physical side of the game. Again, speculation on my part.
  10. Who knew that we had a poster that was a 6'8 black kid that could shoot 3s.
  11. This post proves what I have said about you for years. You have no clue. All you are capable of doing is quoting statistics because you have no idea about the mental, physical and emotional side of the game. You have no clue. You have no clue about the grind in the Big 12. Every game is a war. The only thing that is crystal clear is that your stunning lack of knowledge about the game. Who gives a crap about kenpom other than you and a few others desperate to make posters think they know the game.
  12. You need to quit watching msnbc. Because biden is an idiot, missiles are flying over Japan all the time. N Korea is far more dangerous today because of your idiot in the WH. And how laughable that you're whining about a couple of letters. Maybe you need to get your head out because your biden has documents scattered all over the place to the point where some in his party want him gone. But look at the bright side, future generations won't have to go to any archives to see what a village idiot fool biden is. All they will have to do is wake up every morning and see that that bastard turned our county into a third world country. But oooj, letters.
  13. It only took you almost 5 years to respond so I guess my post was way over your head. Bless your heart.
  14. I saw the movie about you. Meet John Doe. Jimmy Stewart did an excellent presentation of you. The only problem in the movie was that you didn't jump.
  15. Be careful what you wish for. A lot of D1 kids are going into the portal and get a wakeup call when mostly non power 5 schools show interest. The grass isn't always greener on the other side. Also, it won't be long before some of the top kids no longer take visits. They will send their agents to negotiate their NIL deals and the highest bidder gets the kid.
