True, I think Barnes at Texas did go to one final four and two elite 8's in his earlier days at Texas, but his later teams were good but not great in his last 6-7 years there. But firing him now looks like a really bad move. His former school is in the NIT, and his current team has a 2 seed, and last year a 3 seed.
I will add that TN is currently beating Iowa by 20.
Off topic- is this the same Iowa team that just beat UC?Last edited by XU 87; 03-24-2019 at 11:53 AM.

Gregg Marshall must really be happy he didn't move on to Texas or Alabama.

What amazes me that big time donor alumns for these massive universities have no tolerance for anything less than F4 quality teams. Rick Barnes should have been a UT lifer but the pressure brought to bear on the AD was too much. Change is gonna come and it usually ends with the "Hot young coach" getting the big contract.

There's also the argument that VCU has been consistently good themselves with one breakout year in 2011.
If Shaka can't make a run next year in the NCAA Tournament, then I think it would be fair for Texas to reevaluate their future.

Why doesn't any major program who annually competes for a national championship run a major full court press? It's because that style can't win in today's game consistently. Shaka smart has a style that works in lower tier basketball, but if you want to compete with the big boys you need to play a more traditional style of ball
