Yeah, it's been pure hell for any Texas B-ball fan with Rick Barnes as the coach.

Rick over-recruits the super athlete and doesn't get enough pure scorers.

You need to get Doc, he will put some pure scorers on the bench. Send the Hamilton's, Joseph's, and Thompson's our way.

I like how we picked up Myles to open the Canadian pipeline. Rick seems to be doing well with it.

Yeah, Kansas State does really well with top shelf talent. I won't Judge them for that.

Count me as unimpressed that Barnes can recruit to Texas.

Man, it must be terrible to be a UT fan. Terrible.

OregonSmock · « **Reply #36 on:** March 01, 2011, 06:57:53 PM »

Barnes is a very good coach, but his teams have had a trend lately of peaking in late January/early February and then bottoming out by March. He's still arguably the 2nd-best coach in the Big 12 behind Bill Self. He's a victim of his own success... people these days just automatically expect Texas to be good, even though they were pretty mediocre until Barnes took over the basketball program.

His problem this season is that Texas doesn't have a true point guard. Balbay isn't a threat to shoot it, and he's not all that great of a distributor, either. Texas needs a point guard like Jacob Pullen, or Sherron Collins, who can get into the lane and create their own shot.

So funny, NC State fans are SALIVATING over the possibility of maybe Barnes will be available in the near future. He must have some ties there, but guess he blew them off before he took the UT job. Fans falling for the late season, meaningless wins that Sid Lowe gives them. He is very Wooldridgesque and makes me laugh. I think NCState fans are secretely a little

Their basketball program underachieved even worse than their football program before they revamped their entire athletic program in the early 00's. UT should've had lottery picks stuffing their dorms in the 90's, but they didn't because 1. nobody in Austin gives two shits about basketball, 2. UT's leadership had let it slip into a wounded Southwest Conference also-ran in the 90's and 3. nobody in Austin gives two shits about basketball. Despite the general apathy of the fans there, recruiting to UT is easier than recruiting to KU if you have the administrative infrastructure in place. The fact that UT didn't have a bunch of AA's before Rick got there does not really bolster anyone's argument that Barnes is a good coach because he can recruit.

What I want to know is, why is his left ear all effed up??? I thought it could have been from wearing cowboy hats smushed down on his head as a child has caused it to disform, but his right ear seems fine.
