LMAO. Well played CB.

Great news Shaunsters! Welcome aboard!

Marquette head coach. Buzz Williams. Young guy, high energy, winner and excellent recruiter. He is a native Texan.
Also was a assistant at AM for 3 years.

He's basically turned Marquette back into a power program, with not much to work with.

Great to see you on this board. Keep it coming

 

[kbrannon]

I like the idea of both

I understand wanting someone with ties to Texas, and that giving an edge to Buzz. However, BB is not like football or baseball. You have a much smaller roster to fill therefore an "in state" candidate should not be what tips the scale. From a big splash hire/momentum building perspective I think you can't go wrong with Shaka. I feel that he would be able to recruit nationally, and in turn, the in state talent would then gravitate to Austin as well. JMHO.

SHAKA SMART to Texas! Please. Pretty Please....

 

[TEXAS FAN]

Shaka smart will not be come to coach ut basketball he just get more money on his contract were he is at

 

[Lord Vader]

I thought Smart was holding out for the UConn job, but since it never was really open, who knows what his next move would be....

 

[RLong68]

Would prefer Sean Miller but I think Williams could do well

Great info! I'm going to throw out another name....see what you all think. Josh Pastner....head coach at Memphis State.....grew up in Texas...took over for John Calipari when he went to Kentucky.

 

[Shaunsters]

Josh Pastner won't happen. Too much stuff went on under him... Stuff we don't do

I'm guessing you don't know much about Pastner, his dad, and the dirtiness. While I realize all of college bball is inherently dirty, Pastner is just too much. He's from Texas but more of a Arizona boy.

Shaka would be fantastic here. Huge recruiting base, big budget, facilities, and most of all--NO PRESSURE.

But as I've said before, Shaka and Buzz are tied for 1st on my list. We couldn't do wrong with either. I'd also like Miller but he's at a "blue blood" of college basketball and isn't leaving.

Hell at this point, a coach from a 3A school would be an upgrade over Barnes.

I'm not in the know about college basketball. I threw his name out based on his connections to The State of Texas and his winning record. But it makes sense that he did things the wrong way if he had Calipari as his role model.
