between the lakers and the knicks, i would take the LA job. the problem in LA, which i agree could be traced back to management, is kobethe knicks on the other hand have james dolan and that sucks worse than anything and i'm a life long knicks fan

There was something that just wasn't right at Texas these past few years and they did underachieve IMO. i am not sure if I saw it here or on ShaggyBevo but allegedly Barnes got super into his faith and church in the last few years Heard that as well.Yeah there's talk within the Texas AD that this has led to his slippage because his priorities changed. Because of this they thought/hoped that he was just going to go home and quit at the end of the season. Guess not.

He's been in a much tougher conference the last few years tho.Why has the shine worn off, they're still winning?It's because he hasn't made any final fours since that one and it's how people measure success. It's wrong, but it's what happens.He's never finished first in any of the dogshit conferences he's been in. The A-10 isn't dogshit and they likely win it this year if they don't lose Weber.

Smart
Making the tourney five years in a row is a significant accomplishment at Smart's level. It shows he can recruit, which is really what's most important.

it did take Gregg 5 seasons at WSU to win the valley

The sustained success shows their recruits are contributing very soon, and they aren't having good seasons just by having a very experienced team. I mean Marshall started two sophomores for an undefeated regular season, of course he can recruit.

I would say Marshall lucked into Baker, but every coach walks into a diamond in the rough from time-to-time. Walk-on greats tho, are very rare in the basketball world.

Hoiberg lost an assistant that came to ISU with him to St. John's today. The guy's name is too long and hard to spell.
Nevermind...AD just made statement that Ford is the coach. Guess Boone wins again!#gottlieb4ksu

Edit to add: Why on earth did Fran leave his NYC comfort zone for New Mexico? That was a career derailing choice.
