I never took Rick Barnes as a upper tier coach. He has done worse with more talent at Texas than this rocky top team has. I still just do not see a team more talented than us. But hey I am stubborn in my initial beliefs and convictions about a team!!!! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just do not see staying power for a Rick Barnes program. He was perpetually solid- pretty good at texas and that was it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember him giving UNC and Dean Smith a hard time prior to his departure for Austin. I think he even beat The Dean before he left. Smith did not like him and they clashed personally a few times. Loved it. Not a fan of Dean's. Have never forgiven him, nor UNC, for the Four Corners O. Never understood why he never made it over the top in Austin, but he's a good coach. Don't sell him short.

I want to crush them at every sport. I absolutely hate we have to share the sec title with them last year. What sticks out in my mind with Barnes is he only went to the second round when he HAD KEVIN FREAKING DURANT! I must say he def has exceeded my expectations with what he has done at UT. I did not think he had it in him. What is your ties to barnes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorely disappointed when he left. Thought he was gonna finally give UNC and Duke a run from the Upstate. Then he left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUGoo 2,661 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I guess a little before your time. '94-'98. Graduated AU '89. But still followed CU as second favorite Tigers. Couldn't believe we had hired Cliff Ellis from CU at the time. What a mistake. Ellis could recruit to CU. The NBA was full of CU players in 80's and 90's. Just was not a great X's and O's guy.
