Wow. I guess there was just no getting through this for him. It is highly disappointing as I think we all thought we finally had our head coach. 

Do we go get another big name/winner or do we stay put with Rodney Terry?

Vista Lane, wow. I used to have customers in that neighborhood.

I wonder if the team tanks now?

Rodney Terry is interviewing from now through March.  If not Terry, I’d go big names.  A couple tires I’d kick:

Scott Drew

Kelvin Sampson

Doesn't Sampson have his own shady issues.

The defense is certainly starting to falter.

I like a couple of names @TexCoyote threw out there on another thread – Jay Wright and Mark Few.

Either of those would be a home run. IMHO, Few is a longshot but Wright may come back for the right situation. (No pun intended)

Wright is available now and has skins on the wall. He’s still relatively young at 61. 
CDC seems to usually go for the home run hire so we’ll see.

My only question  is was he fired be cause of facts or because of the way today's society looks at perception, or twitter post.  If he did what was reported don't  blink eye showing him door.

I wonder if word of Beard's termination had reached the team prior to the KS loss? Perhaps there was a leak.

Is Wright a realistic option? I'm not familiar with his situation. He seemed to have a pretty good thing at Villanova, yet he retired.

I just listened to this basketball radio deal thing with two basketball writers. They knew Beard well and indicated they knew it would end up fired.

Anyway names they mentioned:

Jerome Tang KSt

Brad Underwood Illinois 

Musselman Arkansas 

Bruce Pearl Auburn 

Nate Oats Alabama 

Chris Holtmann Ohio St

Ed Cooley Providence

Bruce Pearl, no thanks.

Tang is interesting.

I read that Beard was offered the chance to resign, but chose not to.

They both loved the idea of Bruce Pearl. Said him or Tang should be the first calls. IDK. They’ve been covering college basketball for 20 something years so makes me think about who they mentioned.
