I will ask him next time we play. I promise you I will tell you his answer. I have gotten to know him very well.
Maybe he will be more open and honest now.:)

As long as you promise to keep pretending you don’t get my point.

Here are some coaches that I think White could potentially get whenever Barnes decides to hang it up:

Casey Alexander - Belmont
Chris Holtmann - Ohio St
Kermit Davis - Ole Miss
Tad Boyle - Colorado
Kevin Keatts - NC St
Porter Moser - Loyola Chicago
Buzz Williams - Texas A&M

Would you be happy with any of these coaches?

Until he starts losing then you’d be hollering for him to be fired too

It’s simple my man, if you can’t put up in March you will get run eventually. It’s the nature of the business and it ain’t unique to UT. Don’t care who you are.
Excellent thread btw...

Posted this in another thread, but shaka’s lost in the first round of each of his last 5 tournament appearances to a 12, 10, 11, 7 and 14 seed. His teams have made it out of the second round 1 time.

Sounds like the last 12 years of Barnes. Except Shaka was in his 30s not 50s and 60s and at VCU not Texas for half of those year. And when Shaka left the second round it was to the final four. I find it hilarious that the Barnes is the best thing ever crowd rips on Smart all the time when his accomplishments are greater than Barnes over the last 12 years.

Barnes isn't the "best ever" for sure. One thing he has proven is that he can take nothing and build it into something highly respectable. Don't forget UK threw everything at Barnes 15 years ago to be their coach and he turned them down. Texas wasn't matching

I find it hilarious that you pulled “Barnes is the best thing ever” out of your azz. Smacks of desperation. Not speaking for everyone, but just because we don’t want the man fired doesn’t mean idolization. Many of us have seen BAD...and recently.

I don't think many of our fans want Barnes fired now. I don't think many would want Smart fired if he'd just won the SECT. He's young with a very high upside still.

Maybe you wanna look around a bit if you don’t think there’s quite a few here that want Barnes gone.

I see plenty of coach worship level defense of Barnes on here and I'm one who thinks he will be there at least 3 to 5 more years. Every one that is critical of Barnes doesn't want him fired. And yes, there have been posters the last few days who have said Barnes is the best coach we've ever had and that we have no right to even expect better than him.

Easy. Some that immediately come to mind...

Jay Wright
Mark Few
Tony Bennett
Bill Self
Porter Moser

Chris Beard would also be a good choice

I hate to say it, but I’d definitely consider having Nate Oats on this list. Eric Musselman, too. And Beard is on it as well.
