This thread has been going in circles forever. The arguing really comes down to the fact that one group believes Terry should be getting more criticism and one group believes he shouldn’t be getting that much criticism.
That’s because there have been quite a few data points supporting both sides of the argument. For example, during the tourney last year he let the team play up tempo and leverage their athletic ability. That’s something Beard may not have done as well. Conversely, the defense under Terry has been generally bad this year. But, he’s still beaten a few teams that are slightly better than Texas. And lost to several that were inferior.
For me, inconsistency usually means there are too many coaching flaws to be successful, but it doesn’t mean that we don’t root for Terry or want him to be successful. It’s just that from my perspective right now the odds don’t look great. I hope he beats the odds.
