    A bit, but UH was a natty caliber team that was absolutely decimated by injuries this year. Shead was just the cherry on top. They stay like 80% healthy they probably win it all.

    I don't think Houston ever had the offense to win it all. Same goes for Tennessee and Barnes. Their best usually is Final 4.

    i was just thinking about this. gonna take some time to compile a list, but there’s defintely a changing of the guard taking place. i still have bill self way up near/at the top, but the recent/semi-recent order with names like coach k, roy williams, tom izzo, jay wright, tony bennett etc being at the top is changing. names like hurley, oats, beard, lloyd, otzelberger are climbing, while guys like barnes, sampson, and pearl are still doing their thing at a high level. it’ll be an interesting exercise to try and rank these guys.

    Mark Few and Scott Drew should be on that list.

  3. Mitchell and Hunter portalling is the best for all parties involved. I don't think giving them diminished roles would have worked. Time for RT to earn his paycheck and find some gems in the portal.

    You still need 5 players on the floor and a guy that can handle the ball. Telling Hunter to walk when we have no one close to soak up his usage is an idiotic strategy. 

    Hunter can't handle the ball. I know that's his position but he has shown no ability to fight off any kind of press. Even when nobody is pressing him, he would dribble into traffic and turn the ball over. I don't think PG is his natural position. Maybe he can play better off the ball.

  5. Mitchell and Hunter had plenty of opportunities to improve over the last two years. It's not like their minutes were limited and didn'tget enough chances to showcase their talents. They just are not good players, and hoping for them to miraculously improve next year will only set us up for failure. Hopium is not a winning strategy. It may be a good coping mechanism for the fans (works for Aggy), but the coaches are paid millions to know better.

    Beard is the one that stuck RT with that guy. Hunter is a failed eval from the guy that hit his wife and got fired - not RT.

    He also stuck him with the guys that went to the elite 8 that you keep wanting to give RT all the credit for.

    You're only "stuck" in season, which was 2023, not the next season in this era of portal.

    ESPN radio this morning saying Barnes got redemption for Texas' mistreatment of him. I'm sure they'll have a similar take on Shaka tomorrow. 

    Both those assholes were mailing it in. Barnes the later years, and Shaka his entire tenure. 

    They said the same things about Mack. Apparently, we have to give a lifetime contract to a coach if he or she wins anything of significance.

  8. I believe RT gets 3 years or more if he can make the tourney again next year. What might accelerate his firing, however, is us underperforming the teams led by our former coaches and Aggy. If Beard, Barnes, Shaka and Aggy have better seasons than us next year, RT's leash will get shorter imo.

    Critical of RT's coaching in this game and team's terrible performance.

    How dare he criticizes RT's coaching decisions! Letting Hunter play so many minutes and inbound when he kept turning the ball over was the definition of insanity.

    Why don't you go back to giving us your view of RT's elocution.

    If you think he is eloquent, then you're one stupid MF and you're not worth arguing with on an anonymous internet board.

    Let's say he makes the second round next year.

    What happens?

    He gets to coach through his contract for sure. He has done enough to date to coach at least 3 years.
