Texas has a chance to do the funniest thing ever(Basketball)

[Clint Baros]

Let’s cause a riot in the Aggie athletic department once more. Fire Rodney Terry and Offer Buzz Williams money he can’t refuse.

Be better than Buzz

Should the move happen ... Texas has to hire a terrific offensive coach. 

Buzz is a solid coach, but not what Texas currently needs IMO.

@Gerry Hamilton let's speculate and give the people what they want. You give me a few guys that you think would be good options and I'll breakdown in plain english their style and approach to offense.

I highly doubt he'd get past our compliance.

I don't know if the chances are zero for this team resurrecting itself, but assuming it plods along and Texas decides to change coaches, I'd like to hear your comments on Richard Pitino at New Mexico.

Let's start with Pitino:

Offensively, actually one of the more stylistically fun guys that has been mentioned. Primarily transitions and plays out of 4 out 1 in Dribble Drive Motion alignments. mixing in ball screens every now and again. Use a ton of Princeton actions as their early offense creates, also do a good job of pairing them with traditional DDM cutting actions at points (run two false motion handoffs to get into "forwards out" from Princeton, then run "wave" from DDM early in Boise game at home). Would be excited to see what he could do embracing this style at Texas with elite talent. In top 10 in country in tempo, which makes their offense look better on raw numbers than it really performs (81ppg). Primarily bases everything on a version of advantage based basketball, where they are using their actions to hunt mismatches on the ball in space, whether that be an iso drive to a big gap or a backdown in the post. Live at the free throw line, but one of the worst in terms of three point rate in country (333/364). Has evolved a ton since Minnesota, where I thought he did a decent job, and has built UNM back up after the debacle that was Paul Weir there.

Offensively, I would be excited about Richard Pitino and the possibilities. Pair him with UT resources, could be a lot of fun.

Thanks Tyler.

Would love to see CDC go after Nate Oates but his $18m buyout that was included in new 6yr contract is a killer.
