And with Florida winning last night the casuals are gonna think that's true. Not realizing Florida now sees themselves on par with UNC, Duke, Nova, UK, in that they should be competing for championships in basketball every season. They had the infrastructure and track record, they just needed the coach. I think we've hired the coach who is going to build and demand that infrastructure and expectations, but he will need 3 seasons to get us going. By year 3 I think we will be competing for a top 3 finish in the conference
Who wants to go on the record that this won't work?

It will definitely take time but I'm good with that as long as we're laying a solid foundation to build from.
I just want to see us run an offense where we do more than dribble and rebound. Simple things in life.
You would've fired Golden then. Missed the tourney in year 1, and bounced in the 1st round in year 2.
So, same results (competing for top 3 in conf.) and work habits and toughness as what was here, except different style of play, different 'quotes" (but sayings), different 'quirks", and different personality? (and one more win). Just different.BasketballCoach2015 said:

Actually, that's fair to want, imo, in a breakup.
Maybe it's the Brad Stevensy look. Maybe it's the ambition in his voice and words. Or perhaps the it's NBA offense and innovation.
Bucky is going to succeed here spectacularly her; we're going to go to places we've never been before in the tournament. But after multiple deep runs and an incredible short period of success, I think McMillan leaves us for the NBA and it takes multiple seasons to recover from it.
That's on the record.

This post is soo freaking dumb. You clearly have done no research and I hate that I'm dumb enough to respond but here's the 5 years before Bucky that led to Samford taking a shot on a high school coach.
No, this reply post is really much more dumb because you obviously can't comprehend that mighty Samford was NOT built into a powerhouse and you refute nothing I posted.
Perhaps you could comment on the success of Bucky's most recent year at Samford where they/he didn't even make the NCAA tournament? Most likely you are actually the wife or partner of a BOR guaranteed contract provider.
You have to win the conference tourney to make the tourney. No coach we've had has done that in how long? Pretty myopic.
you want to double down on a ridiculous point that's fine. But try and do some research that at least provides a fragment of proof that you actually understand the point you're trying to make.SBDavis87 said:t - cam said:

Coaches know that these advantages are real for recruiting and dollars, not to mention media coverage. In Texas, you are battling tu and their media, which will always be tough, as well as their attractiveness to coaches. It hasn't helped that the coaches here in these major sports have either failed against expectations over time or have run out of here as soon as they could after some success.bobinator said:
Tennessee hired Barnes way before any of that though. And right now I don't care about football or baseball. We're just talking basketball, so I think holding the program to that level of standard is crazy. It would take an unprecedented level, by several orders of magnitude, of commitment to the basketball program.
But I think Tennessee is an interesting one to pick because just imagine this board if we hired a coach that Texas just fired for not winning enough. People would absolutely lose their minds, and yet it worked for Tennessee.
Texas is at best the 3rd or 4th most attractive basketball option in the state right now. Currently we are both battling Texas Tech, Houston and Baylor. Those are the schools we want to become peers with, not Texas.
Something tells me that a bunch of people outside of College Station would disagree with you
They'd be wrong. All three have far more recent deep tourney runs and, within the last 7 or so years, tech and Cougar High have both played for a championship while Baylor won one.
t.u.?? ONE elite eight in the last 15 years, and their heyday of success -- roughly late '90s through 2000s -- came with Tennessee's current coach.
I'm not sure how this is even arguable unless you want to use some other metric. It isn't like those other three schools play in a crap conference or anything. The B12 is FAR more often than the SEC the premiere basketball conference -- at least in the last decade or so. They didn't lose anyone that would hurt that, and gaining Zona, BYU, and even a couple of more (to a much lesser extent), helped.
Ambassador to Italy now...
Peace for Ukraine!
This should be a fun read. Maybe some have been converted? Still a long way to go this year obviously.

I guess we are going to lose put.
I was on page 1 twice saying this was a great hire.
The one thing I was wrong about and others is how important defense is and how good defensively we really are. We switch between multiple defenses and pressure each game. I will admit I was wrong about his defensive mindset which now we know if you don't play D you aren't playing.
Going back and looking at this thread and seeing the folks that said there was going to be no defense played by A& M is pretty interesting.
Dang ceiling came quick
You haven't seen a lot of these posters around the last few weeks anyways
Just wait til we drop a game. They'll be back.
Reading these has given me great pleasure this morning lol

Well, looks like we hit our ceiling… not going to win another SEC game this season. That'll be rough.

There's a few but I think they have selective memory loss.
Gig ‘Em Baby!
IDK. There just seems to be zero upside to being the guy that says "we'll be terrible for sure" or "I'll literally eat crap if we win a natty in 5 years". Like - where is the fun in that. If you're right, everyone is miserable anyway. If you're wrong, you look like either an idiot or an ass.
Optimism is fun. Ride the train until it stops. Otherwise it's just a miserable existence.

We were a top 5 program in the best conference in basketball. That's pole position.
You're mistaking "team" with "program". I'm stopping arguing you because you don't seem to know anything.
This was a banger.
The thread was full of bleeders that aren't really that into A&M basketball but are into BAS.
It seems a bit too early to revisit this. Maybe better is we had waited until the end of the year?
Nah, three SEC wins in a row to start league play was worth a check in. Plus if we lose out that one guy gets to be an all time TexAgs legend.
I don't recall posting to this thread and haven't scanned yet. Probably one of those threads that is more worthwhile in about 30 months.
We look far better to start Y1 than I thought we would.
