Boy, she was ugly, but a win is a win. I'll take it!

Also, I don't think I've ever heard someone say "best case scenario" more times, in a 4 minute setting.....ever in my life, lol.

They'll be lucky to win 7 games.

I was reading he's won the NCAA D2 National Championship 4 times and is 422-94 as a HC. 32-7 in the D2 tournament. He sounds like the Basketball equivalent of Coach DeBoer. Even in his first year at the D1 level with Drake he's 227-3. Now, I've no idea if Drake is any good or if their conference is either. But a quick uneducated view of his resume, it's very impressive.

Edit: double posted like an idiot, lol.

Could you give a bit more info about him? Because, regardless of what level that was at, it is very impressive. Just a brief glance at his accomplishments he does stand out as a guy on the rise. Only 43, too.

Thank you for the response, Gerry. I'm a noob when it comes to Basketball, so I'm trying to navigate all of this with an open mind and learn everything I can.

From what I say, he's getting less than Coach Terry for his salary. If you don't me asking (because you're one of the knowledgeable guys here about Basketball), what makes Coach Otzelberger a good candidate?

Just to steer the conversation a bit. What does a realistic option for Texas look like? Say, you don't improve support and the same deal is given to someone else, with the same NIL level, etc. What 5 names would you have on a short list? Now the flip side of that would be, if Texas does put the support/investment into Basketball, who are 5 names you could see them having on that short list? Kind of curious myself, as it does seem (fortunately or unfortunately) that Coach Terry has coached himself out of a job. I'm a complete noob when it comes to Basketball, so I'm happy to hear from some of our more knowledgeable people here.

I don't think Helm's 40 time is that important, all one has to do is watch the tape and see he's a baller. I think there is too much stock in 40 time's. But that's just my opinion. If he slips down the rankings because his 40 isn't that great, a lot of teams are going to miss a great TE.

Ah man, not a great way to finish that one. Great job by the guys forcing OT and Tre is just freaking ridiculous, lol. Stupid question (most likely) but what does this do for our Tournament chances? Does it knock us out of contention or do we still have some type of math wizard chance?

I love the effort from the guys tonight. They've been hustling hard. I know Arky is missing some big time players, but the boys have battled hard.

Ah, you make a good point. Sounds like CDC, Eltife and the lot, didn't really have much of a choice in the issue. Plus with his run to the elite 8, that helped his case a lot.

If my googling skills are any good, it says he got a 5 year, 15 million dollar contract. Which if my math is correct, that's about 3 million a year. So I guess I can see the point you and Jordan are coming from with the commitment. Just seems like a place holder type of deal.

Truly? Seems weird to hire him then if they're not behind him support wise.
