Coach Hot Seat and Players to Poach

@BShark At this point I think you may have to press TyTy for a decision and get an answer and then move on.
You don’t want to whiff on Pettiford because TyTy wanted to drag it out.
Pettiford mentioned he will wait until mid to possibly late April after meeting with KU coaches. TyTy will likely announce next week.
Believe it was mentioned by someone that knows, KU talking to Pettiford was to try and get TyTy to commit.

Ahhh trying to use Pettiford for some leverage huh? - - war chips lol
-
@jayballer67 Yes but they would also 100% take him if TyTy goes to say, Illinois. The allure of starting at PG for KU is strong here though, to be sure.
-
Haha Shaka gone. Now Texas will get a good coach
-
Interesting but he’s a SG/wing really. Possible if we have one leave maybe?
-
@BeddieKU23 He’s a project that I think would struggle to see the floor anyways after watching tape. I didn’t watch it and think he was a must-land kind of prospect.
-
I liked his size and he has some game, not sure how well he did at IMG but his ranking went up a good bit since he became a Texas commit. Nice 4 year guy somewhere was my thought since KU was recruiting him
-
Well One thing for sure , The Big 12 gonna have plenty of ne faces whether players OR Coach’s. - -# New Coach’s Texas - - Oklahoma & - - Iowa State - - & it’s early just kind of wondering how hot the Coaching Seat is for Jamie at TCU - -could be a 4th ? - I know I’m Crazy but have always liked Jamie, NO not saying I would eve want here by any means, but for like where he is at TCU & Such - -thought he got kind of a raw deal at Pitt.
Side note not sure if anyone is aware or even cares just throwing it out. K-State and Ol squeaks losing a FOURTH PLAYER to the portol
-
@Kcmatt7 @BeddieKU23 If we lose more guys and he wants to come here sure you take him.
-
Well read this from another site. - I’m not saying but just asking , makes SOME sense. Person said and makes me wonder possibly with these new Coaching openings here at Oklahoma & Texas you think either of these Schools would ever probe Rick Pitino at Iona to come be their next Coach ? - - - Just asking guys ? I know he had problems at Louisville & not saying I’d be in favor BUT I think one thing he does add is some really quality and Name to the League - -pretty decent Coach. - -He said he was perfectly happy at Iona but if he was given the opportunity to come to a major P-5 program do you think either of these schools would try and make contact - - get a read/feel of what he thinks? you think Rick would be interested - - just curious guys
-
I hope not, he’s a great coach.

Some Texas fans are putting his name out there of rick But I don’t think he would go to any big 12 school cause I don’t drink he wants to mess what hes doing at the school hes at now as men like you know getting players and coaching good
-
I can definitely see Texas making a run at Slick Rick. With the new arena coming in 2022, Pitino provides star power to help fill the even when Texas isn’t playing a blue blood.
-
@nwhawkfan said in Coach Hot Seat and Players to Poach:
It took me awhile to appreciate him as a coach after rooting against him as a player, but he had a great career.
Yeah, he did… But he was definitely a goer and not a stayer, am I right? What was the longest time that he stayed at any one school?

I think your spot on - -all counts. – On top of that I think if they reach out to Rick and he shows ANY interest about the job - - it being Texas I would think they have some pretty deep pockets to make it an attractive offer. Has a proven record of success. ACTUALLY in a way I think I would like to see him come, they could be even more competitive with Rick and would be I dunno a good move for Texas
-
@Marco He was at OU for a decade… that’s quite a long time. And his shortest stint anywhere was 4 years.
-
@jayballer67 Name recognition is all well and good, but I think of Texas Tech when they hired Bob Knight. Another big name with a questionable past. Yeah, he put seats in the stands, but it’s not like their program made all that much progress on the court.
-
Don’t overthink this, Texas (actually, please, please overthink this). Go get Beard. Him plus Nike money ooooooooooof.
-
Well, it’s Texas so lol
-
If Texas doesn’t hire Beard we should all be thankful. Beard with that UT roster would have been scary
-
Sounds like Beard is going to be UT’s top target, but if an agreement is reached, wouldn’t happen until next Thursday at the earliest because Beard’s buyout drops to $4 million if he goes to another Big 12 school.
-
Those two brothers whose name I’ve forgotten already from EWU are transferring. Doubtful they’d travel east to a school like KU but a 3 point shooting big sounds cool to me!

Groves Bros. We could use another big, especially one who can shoot.
-
Wow Beard likes to flip flop.

@BeddieKU23 Are referring to when he was coach at UNLV for a few days then Tech offered him their job?
Beard is a UT grad and got his coaching start their under Tom Lenders. That’s why Beard’s name is connected to Texas.

The younger one Jacob - not taking anything away from his grizzly bear brother - seems to be a gamer.

you think Beard would take the Texas job? - -he might. - Thing is not really sure if it would be a step up actually. - -Sure deep Pockets but as of this point Still think beard at Tech has them straight with Texas on the Basketball level- , now Beard goes there and recruits well which he seems to do/then the facilities probably better i all probability bigger budget, and maybe just maybe draw some fans. Going to be pretty ard to surpass football at Texas in popularity. - -I think if they go after him - I just don’t think he will Leave but ohhh those deep pockets
-
Yeah I knew he was connected to Texas but its still a crap move interconference, no wonder kids have no loyalty to schools anymore
-
@jayballer67 Beard with Nike money behind would far exceed what he can currently get at Tech with UA money. We all saw what Rick Barnes could do when UT was at their peak in the 2000’s and that was a top 10 program winning Big 12 titles, contending for national titles, and sending a crap load of players to the NBA that far exceeded anything KU players of the era accomplished in the NBA. Beard in Austin means Texas will start getting KD and LaMarcus Aldridge caliber players on a regular basis again.
Chris Beard is definitely going to consider whatever offer UT puts on the table.
-
Chris beard Is leading candidate but there will be ever candidate that will be interviewing 4 the Texas coaching job

Oh ya I know Beard could for sure bring excitement to Texas. It’s going to be interesting. Shaka had some pretty decent players - -not KD good but still pretty dam god he just couldn’t Coach them. Kia JonesDr
Brad Townsend who covers the Dallas Mavericks - -quoted as saying Beard to Texas is already a DONE DEAL.
Townsend got a call from a College Basketball Source that he trusts who say Chris Beard is ABSOLUTELY going to Texas - - -it’s A DONE DEAL 100 %. - -Beard’s buyout right now is 4 million - -but after the 1st it drops to 2 Millon - -only thing that might hold Texasa back is they just got through paying out 15 Mililon for the football coach
-
Would love to see Abmas’ name in the portal… but only if he ends up playing for us
-
Obanor would be a take as well
-
Yep I would take both.
-
@jayballer67 The buyout information is incorrect. Beard’s buyout is currently $5 million and drops to $4 million on April 1.
Beard’s buyout isn’t going to be the issue for Texas since they didn’t fire Shaka and have to pay a buyout for him, but annual salary might be an issue as Texas would have to pay Beard more money per year than they’re paying Sarkisian.
If Beard ultimately chooses to stay in Lubbock (it is a possibility), other names to look out for are Dana Altman (Oregon), Eric Musselman (Arkansas), John Beilein, and former player and current Brooklyn Nets assistant Royal Ivey.

The only thing with Royal lvey is he doesn’t have college coaching experience
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Don’t like Altman. Struck me as a douche in postgame when Oregon beat us a couple years ago. Not sure how I feel about Musselman yet, and i always liked Beilein, back since his stint at WV when they were Big East (even though he beat us at Michigan).

Yeah, probably sour grapes lingering from when he used to regularly get his ass beat by us when he coached at K-State.
-
@approxinfinity Musselmen is a job hopping crook. I actually met him once and he’s a giant self centered dick. I hope Texas is not seriously considering him. I don’t want to see his face on a consistent basis.
-
@rockchalkwyo i kinda assumed that based on sideline demeanor, but hadnt dug much.
-
Indiana may have a coach here shortly Mike woodson A assistant coach from the New York Knicks will be taking the Indiana job likely to be Official. Now it is
-
Royal Ivey interviewed for the Texas job today
-
Surprised Hoiberg isn’t in the conversation. He’s fallen completely off the radar.
-
Mike Boyton got a 7 year extension to stay with the Pokes

Yoooo Bill Self get on the phone with him.
-
When he’s done call Rocket Watts, now in the portal
-
Will really be interesting to see how full on free agency plays out. This seems so crazy on the surface. So many good players on the market that could step in day one and be an impact player.
I kind of like it, but I probably would hate it if I were a coach.
-
Didn’t really know where to put this but anyways - - Should know more on Chris Beard tomorrow , according to Texas Boards - - Beard is meeting with Kirby Holcut today. - - I think he stays at Tech, But Longhorns got some pretty deep pockets
