I have a little higher exception from our basketball program that what we have received in the last 6 years, We are paying millions for a coach that runs a clean program? That is all we are getting. We have a NIT trophy, we are no. 69!, and a conference tourney trophy that means nothing. Barnes final 4 team lost the first game of conference tourney because it means nothing unless you are trying to just get into the dance. This year was even worse because of the covid forfeit that benefited us.
You realize that 6 other basketball programs in the state finish the big dance ahead of us. That makes us no. 7 in the state of Texas.
Doesn't the coach have some responsibility for repeated brain farts by a player that cost us games? Especially since there is a season long pattern of the same mistakes. Isn't the coach responsible to have a team ready to play with a week to prepare? What do they do in practice, play a game of "HORSE"? I expect more than to finish in the bottom half of the big 12 MOST of the time. I want to win an NCAA tourney game more than once in a decade I do not think we exceed 1 if Smart is here 10 tears.. Did Greg Brown improve during the season? I did not see it, I thought his performance deteriorated to the point he did not get playing time.
The TO's did not just surface in the ACU game, that, and too many fouls have plagued this team since the first game. 20 TO's in a game is NOT unusual for this team. Did you see anything different from the start of the ACU until the end, I did not. What adjustments were made?
This team was very talented, and undisciplined. That is on the coach
I am sorry, for millions of dollars a year, I expect more that being the 7th best program in the state of Texas but just run a clean program. How can you be sure of that? It certainly wasn't clear that Barnes wasn't if what you say is true. It must not have been a big issue or we would be on probation. We are not getting what we are paying for. A nice guy, yes. Players love him. Good coach NO.
