yeah, that's true. Hard to tell what was him trying to change a half century culture or him being...well, Billy.EXCELL said:
I'm not sure that's possible. He had quite a record.

Do you ass clowns even watch cbb? If I offered you Boeheim 15 years ago you'd have my baby. What's he done in 40 years? Won 1000+ games. How many titles and final 4s? He your guy?
Rick Barnes wasn't in our pay grade when Turgeon bailed on us. Bruce Pearl will be in prison before he wins a natty. We did the Kermit cheating deal. Some of u smart guys wanted Frank Martin. Billy Donovan can't recruit so forget him. Roy Williams?? How's he doing this year in the hot bed of college basketball? We dust off Bobby Knight?
So .. when one of you is ready to step up and fund our on campus arena (my plan) - call me and we'll split the naming rights. I'm ready to write my check - already have. Otherwise - show up or shut up. Our kids wanna ball, get their ring and graduate.

The perfect announcer statements to sum up Bk as my teams coach. "Looked like his own guy was playing defense against him"

Only one other announcer has dared to call out Bk's incompetence and that's Jay Bilas. Most happily share the excuses and talk fishing, etc. when get blown out.DukeMu said:AgsNguyen said:

Dakich brigning some truth. He doesn't hold back. Obnoxious, but I like him.
Shocking....the guy behind the Kyle Field DJ and the "Fightin' Texas Aggie First Down" yell is the guy that's got BK hanging around. Really starting to not like that guyAston04 said:yes- Torn....and he is church buddies with our coach.Bucketrunner said:
Since Artie McFerrin died, is there even one major donor who gives a rat's ass about men's basketball? This program has been an embarrassment for a while. (Two S16 appearances is not a success for a school like A & M)
Apparently wives are tight as well. A force behind bks career here. Meantime, the program gets screwed.

Which one do we want?
except that's just talking about the team under BK. We've also said repeatedly, you dont have to hire a big name coach to have success in college basketball1974ag said:
We don't deserve a good coach and I'll tell you why! I have had season tickets for men's basketball for last 12 years and drove over hour during week to attend games. I didn't renew this year because I knew what was about to happen. Besides the Billy days we don't have good crowds consistently. Even the recent sweet 16 teams would have horrible crowds for good games! The students today just don't follow basketball much. Let's face it we are a football school. Until some big donor gets excited about basketball we won't get a big name coach to come here!
Yes! Barnes is a hell of a coach! Look what he has done at Tennessee. Watched him back in the day when he was at Clemson against UNC. He got in "God" Dean Smith's face at the scorers' table and they had to be separated by the refs. Apparently Dean had said something to one of Rick's players and Rick's response was "You coach your team, I'll coach mine!" Tar Heel fans still hate him! Oh, well, too late now.Abitaholic said:
Yep. But it's the way of the future. What recruit in their right mind would come here? Should have brought in Barnes....he's turned UT into a program. But no....we keep sleepy Kennedy. Yawn. Wake me up after the administrations basketball hibernation.
Exactly what I said on another post. Same old 5000 people that used to pack G. Rollie back in the day. A school with 60,000 students and lousy attendance. Why would any "name" coach want the job? No tradition of winning and horrible support.1974ag said:

Jimbo could coach this team better and win more games than Billy Kennedy.
