Instead, Holland and his camp were/are making demands on playing time and how he's used. Holland will end up at Arkansas because they're willing to do whatever he wants. If this is true, and I have no reason not to believe SHA on this, then I just gained a crap ton of respect for RT. I know he is talented, but Terry is trying to build a team and players have to earn the right to play. As a former HS coach, I never recruited, I would always start every season with one msg, "Playing time is earned, not given. It is a privilege to play and not a right.". Then I feed them runny eggs and make them pee in cup so I can talk about proper hydration. Note: I'm 100% joking on the last sentence for those of you that take things literally. longhorn_mig, longhorndon, Eastexhorn and 6 others 4 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickyFlair Posted May 9 Report Share Posted May 9 It pains me to say this but we all need to prepare for a return to mediocrity. Beard might be the best coach in college basketball and we were right to part ways but he left us in awful situation. Some might disagree but everything we accomplished this year was because of Beard. He brought the guys in and prepared them for the season. Rodney inherited a squad and they did what they had prepared to do. Admin was basically forced to hire Coach Terry “Coach of the Year” because he didn’t screw up Beards team. Terry, who has had a career of being average (that’s being nice) now has a four year contract at a program he wouldn’t even get an HC interview for under normally circumstances and now he’s the guy. We did the right thing and now we must pay the piper Sirhornsalot, Bear19, gmcc and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, his coaching , during games this year, I thought was fantastic. Granted, we don't know how he will administrate the entire program - from hiring and managing assistant coaches to evaluating talent etc... His record at universities with much less to offer than Texas - doesn't fly off the page either. I grant you that. Sirhornsalot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry also had a lot to do with bringing in the guys and preparing them as well. How much of that was him vs. Beard, none of us really know. He also had his first chance to be the man at a big time program and he showed some mettle in how he handled it. Can he repeat that strong coaching performance? That we don't know. Time will tell.

texbound Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 Now that the draft lottery is over and drafting positions are set, I still don't see Dillon Mitchell going in the 1st round. Current mock boards and draft projections seem to agree with this. I know he has looked good at the combine, but it hasn't moved him up into a guaranteed contract position as of now. With all that said, does he come back to Texas if he stays in this spot? Or does he go into the G League? It's almost a guarantee that Hunter will be back.

Based on everything I've read, I think he's done at Texas and has no intention on coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he ever put his name in the portal? I know there was some thought he could come back to college but with a different team - like Arkansas. But if he isn't in the portal as of yet I don't think that would be an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
