    Dixon took over a program that went 8-64 in conference play the prior four years he was there. He has real skins on the wall at Pitt, and at TCU where he won the NIT in his first year and got upset as a 5 seed his second year. The turnaround was remarkable. He coaches circles around Shaka and that’ll be on display Wednesday night

    You were saying, dumbfuck?

    Not playing checkers while every other coach in this conference is playing chess.

    That isn't the case dude, they're all playing chess and someone has to lose. TCU is having the exact same season as we are this year, do you also think Dixon must under no circumstances be kept on another year? He also missed the dance last year and lost to us in New York.

  3. Shaka should definitely get at least one more year. Many of his recruits will finally be upperclassmen by then, and he'll have his best shot of any year he's been here.

    Fans need to realize 2 major things:

    1. UT is not a basketball school where lofty expectations are unquestionably in order, and finding the "right coach" is all that's needed to suddenly change everything. You guys think who the coach is matters way more than it actually does.

    2. Shaka's entire performance all the years he's been here have been seen through the lens of the strongest conference in basketball. You could take the exact same Texas teams he's had and put them in C-USA and they would win conference titles. They'd get invites to the NCAA tournament because of it, and they'd get bounced early, but by and large the optics of it all would be decent and there would be much less fan unrest.

    Coleman has the 2nd best +/- on the team behind Sims this year per Sports Reference.  For the sake of comparison, Coleman has a better +/- than Tech's starting G Moretti this season. And this is despite being stuck in a shit system run by an awful coach.

    Coleman is the 2nd best player on the team and will be a senior next year. Anyone who actually watches the games can see how much better we are when he's on the floor, and the keystone cops shit that ensues when he's not.  We will be significantly worse next season if he transfers.

     

    +/- has been shown to be one of the most inaccurate stats that exist on basketball player, the problem being there are 9 of 10 other guys influencing it. Here is the article debunking it: https://kenpom.com/blog/a-treatise-on-plusminus/

    "In summary, plus-minus, while neat to look at, is a poor tool in college basketball analysis."

    Matt Coleman is a good college basketball player. He worked his butt off in the offseason and it shows. He gives up some size to the super-athletic guards in the NCAA like KU's Dotson and Baylor's Mitchell, but given his heart and ball-handling, I'll take it. Matt Coleman is not the problem.

  5. I don't know, it's tough in the Big 12. We lose because Baylor is just a team full of big physical hoopers. They are built, big, tough, and play good basketball. That's hard to deal with, when we've got guys like Matt and AJ, and Ramey who are like normal-looking people who weigh less than 200 lbs. Then we play these teams like Kansas and Baylor that are full of these tough athlete ballers and it's hard. I mean is that Shaka's fault? I dunno. Our recruiting has been decent.

  6. Baylor is a pretty simple problem. It's Butler and Teague and those are the 2 guys you need to shut the fuck down.

    Also, f the OP and the rest of you with negative attitudes on game day. I'll be back in a few hours to serve you your crow.
