A) Tex is from Texas. He went to high school in California.

C) Frank didn't go to KSU. Bill Self didn't go to KU. LHC Bill Snyder didn't go to KSU. Name a coach that actually attended the school where they became famous. I can't think of one.
Courts and fields and stadiums get named after guys who spend most of their careers in one spot and were committed to that community. Tex Winter did not do that.
Bob Huggins came in here and turned the thing around in one year. Are we going to name a court after him? Hell no. Does he deserve to be in the Hall of Fame? Yes.
The court or the next coliseum may some day be named after Frank Martin. We'll see. He's off to a great start. But if he leaves, we won't name anything after him.
The best way we can honor Tex Winter is to take his offense that we switched to in January and win the whole rough ridin' thing.
