Imagine what he can do with a year of scouting players and a slightly above average NIL.

Missing him badly. I am just going to assume he’s done. I will be pleasantly surprised if he plays.

He’s right both were fouls. The second one doesn’t get called most of the time.

Game could not have started worse, but the team held it together.

Outside of Heide I think we got everyone involved. This team is very unpredictable but the game plan was masterful. Swain only had eleven points. Texas still won and pulled away around the two minute mark. Codie did his best, Weaver was Weaver, Wilcher had a very orthodox three go down.

I kept telling myself Miller will not let them lose three in a row. Trouble with beating OU is that it will come after four straight losses.

Mark had a masterful game. They could have been destroyed when Swain and Matas picked up two fouls. Awesome job by Coach Miller navigating through that. Pope hit some big shots. Matas did a really good job of not fouling.

Good job getting through the half.

Heide just gave them two points.

They are in the bonus stop fouling!

Mark had to force a bad shot because nobody came to help him. He was stuck in the lane and had to take a difficult shot.

And he’s not hitting them. I have never seen somebody dribble once and stop so much. You basically have gone nowhere and now they can surround you.

Wilcher needs to let that go. It’s a difficult shot.

They’re doing a good job of playing through it. Just play and don’t worry about the referees.

All you are going to get is shooting. Guess Miller decided not to bench him. Actually going to the basket is foreign to him. Coming back to help on the press Well?

With you on that. Its ridiculous.

Point is Matas has to know not to pick up the second foul. You are a foul magnet. Don’t dive for a ball and keep your hands straight up.

It has nothing to do with him being new to the game. He’s just dumb. He has done this the entire year!

That is the wrong group of people to be discussing this. The issue is what holds up in court. You can put in all the safe guards you want, but the minute you say no, the athlete goes to court, and if he wins it all means nothing.

Traore out again. I am just going to assume he’s done. That way I will be pleasantly surprised if he comes back. Texas, after this game, has three games for certain left. It’s not like there is a lot of season left to be played.

Sometimes this is me watching the basketball team. At least they are not Rick Pitino’s kids. The other day they made two shots the ENTIRE first half.

Thanks for the info, but what I wanted to know was why is the goal not to win a national championship at Texas? It wasn’t why Miller hasn’t been to one. Thanks for the info though.

I can only go off what Gerry says, and after reading his last two post game threads the money isn’t going to be there. So we are headed into a collision. Miller clearly loves it here and that guy hates losing more than he likes winning. If he wants more money and they tell him no, what does he do? I don’t think he came here to just get to the sweet sixteen every now and then.

Said fans have no power. What are they going to do? Not show up to games because they don’t like him not winning fast enough? Shaka was here for six years. And three of those were with Strong as the football coach. People wanted him fired after year two. He still coached four more years. Rodney Terry got two years. How is an unhappy small fan base going to force him out after year two? We have no BMDs that I know of that could force that move. He’s already exceeded expectations. Even if he falls off the cliff next year I think they give him more time. We have had two and a half years for RT and one and a half for Beard. I don’t know CDC, and I have zero inside information, but just based off the revolving door from the last two coaches I don’t see him doing anything. I am more worried about Miller leaving than Miller being fired. Will there be a lot of this player sucks next year if it’s bad? Sure, it was there for RT. Man people say players suck in the football threads, and they are winning. I get comparing him to Golden but why stop at getting to the sweet sixteen? Why not use him as a model to win a national championship? He doesn’t have a high NIL either, so why is the bar not set higher for Texas?

What fan base is there for Texas men’s basketball? It’s a small group. Why would Texas cave to pressure from very few and sign high school talent? Initially that small group would probably be upset. So what, it’s not like there will be a massive protest that has any impact. If that small group of fans waits until the season starts then they will see Coach Miller made the right decision. I agree that at the end of year two, with the scenario you mentioned, Texas fans will be very upset. So what? Some are already upset. As long as it doesn’t affect the money coming from men’s basketball CDC will give him the third year. Extremely small fan base with no power at all.
