Texas vs Butler

[duqu]

well, that's just it, I have no idea. just thinking e-out loud.

Why all this infatuation for Shaka Smart? It's a reach he's even interviewed for the job.

I don't know about his coaching ability, but I just think he has a cool name.

 

[doc longhorn]

I've seen it, too and I've been impressed with him but I don't see the fit. I don't think he's a "big school" guy.

Oh well, there's a reason I'm not on Patterson's list of people to discuss this with. What do I know?

Well, you should be.  You got my vote.

It's time to money whip the big boys.  Force them to say no.

Patterson did a helluva job hiring Strong, now he needs to do the same for the BB team.

the big boys are K, Calipari, Izzo and Petrino. Which one of them would leave? I set the over/under at zero.

If you threw a bunch of money at Donovan I think he would look.

Mike Francesa said it best on his show earlier in the week, "I don't get why Texas is an upset pick.  Rick Barnes has a reputation for being one of the worst X and O's coaches in the NCAA."  Have to say, I might agree at this point.  It just seems like the 40 is the last to know what the rest of the country already knew years ago.

Petrino is too busy crashing himself and mistress on his motorcycle into the woods to coach Texas BB. Also he is already occupying Strong's old job! I know , you meant Pitino.

lmao. Got me

Kim Mulkey Robertson would have done better than Barnes! That's not a joke or meant to be funny. i think it might be a put down to Kim for putting them two in the same sentence actually.

lmao. Got me

It's an easy mistake to make. Pitino and Petrino are both highly successful coaches and both were caught cheating on their wives.

I have mixed feelings about that stat since I'm a Rockets fan.

See where I said money whip?  Everyone has a price and Austin is a great place to live and raise a family.  Why there was even talk of Saban coming here once.

i think much of the saban talk was message board fantasy. each of those 4 is already making huge money at basketball-first schools. thinking of any of these guys is also fantasy. to money whip them you'd have to pay more than CS is making and that ain't happening.

now, whoever the next level is...fine. but let's not go delusional.
