RT has had 2 seasons now with building and coaching his own team. There's been a clear decline in the results year to year. The criticism is fair at this point. RT is a good guy and I'm sure he's been good for the guys off the court. But his issue is building a winning roster and figuring out the identity and maximizing the roster he has. RT is a defensive specialist yet our roster has been built with more 1 dimensional offensive minded players in key roles. How does building a team where your best player is Max Abmas and even Tre Johnson this year aligned with RT's strength which is defense? How do compete in the SEC without having a starting caliber big man? We've been the smaller team in every SEC game this year. That's a roster building issue.
Don't get me wrong, RT gets the guys to play hard but there has to be more if you want to succeed in the SEC. The loss of Chendall Weaver and his energy and momentum changing plays this entire SEC schedule has hurt the team more than people realize.
I hope we can still make the tournament but it's clear RT is not the right coach to raise the standard of Texas basketball to a higher bar than we've ever had. Good enough won't cut it anymore.
