Re: You think that's it for Rick Barnes?
Maybe he could step down and let an interim coach take over just for March every year.
I saw an amazing stat for Barnes yesterday. He's lost to the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 seed in his career.

That definitely is an amazing statistic, which obviously indicates a lot of overall success.AuricGoldfinger wrote: ↑Sat Mar 20, 2021 9:24 am Maybe he could step down and let an interim coach take over just for March every year.

Barnes was successful at the real UT in Austin. A principal reason for being pushed out was lack of post season success in relation to winning during the regular season.

I guess Texas has decided to double down on that with Smart...

If his teams were good enough to be seeded 4, 3, 2 or 1 he could lose to 13, 14, 15 and 16.AuricGoldfinger wrote: ↑Sat Mar 20, 2021 9:24 am Maybe he could step down and let an interim coach take over just for March every year.

UT should have never fired Bruce Pearl but should have slapped his hand and ridden out the sanctions!

Re: You think that's it for Rick Barnes?
I agree with this. While Pearl is sketchy, that particular offense was quite minor, in my opinion, and UT shouldn't have fired him. They would likely be a whole lot better off if they hadn't. I actually enjoy the guy- sketchiness and all.

Re: You think that's it for Rick Barnes?
He also got Auburn in trouble with the NCAA for recruiting infractions. They were banned from the postseason for two straight seasons. Had he stayed at UT, that would have been UT that would have been penalized. The fact that he (and LSU coach Will Wade) still have jobs is amazing to me. They both should have been fired for their NCAA infractions.Foreverhopeful wrote: ↑Sat Mar 27, 2021 12:48 pmI agree with this.

Pearl was not directly involved in the Auburn situation. Like I said- a little sketchy- but so are many.

Re: You think that's it for Rick Barnes?
He did lie to the NCAA about the UT infraction and encouraged others, including the recruit, to also lie. That might not be considered minor in some circles.Foreverhopeful wrote: ↑Sat Mar 27, 2021 12:48 pmI agree with this.

Re: You think that's it for Rick Barnes?
What's more, he hung the university president out to dry when he went before the NCAA committee and swore that Pearl never did this things, just before they presented him with pictures. For that alone I'd have fired him.VandyPhile wrote: ↑Sun Apr 04, 2021 3:31 pmHe did lie to the NCAA about the UT infraction and encouraged others, including the recruit, to also lie.

Re: You think that's it for Rick Barnes?
Texas made a big mistake in firing him and hiring Shaka Smart.
For whatever reason,...
I think Barnes had 2nd thoughts about being at Tennessee almost from the time he arrived there!
