He’s not a bad coach. However, he’s an average coach at best.

He has coached 33 seasons, and averaged 22 wins a year……almost 23 (22.72).

Not too many “average” coaches do that.

Bob Knight averaged almost 21
Jim Boeheim is at 22
Bob Huggins is at 22
Rick Pitino 21
Jay Wright 22

He certainly isn’t the greatest coach…….however he is FAR from an “average” coach.

Heck will Wade is at 22.7 over 8 years not 30+ and we know that guy cheats.

Is another program throwing $5 million at him after matching Texas Tech’s highest win total in history?

Yes, Calipari and Coach K. Despite the talent recruited because of their blue-blood status, their national championships are way below what they should be based on talent.

Chris Beard is 18-17 in the B12 over the last 2 seasons. Mark Adams was his “defensive coordinator” and didn’t follow him to Tx.

How much are #s 6-10 making?

Lol again he can coach for another 20 years and I'll be happy but I keep thinking "maybe this is the year they make that deep run" only to be disappointed. Why can't he get any consistent offensive play?

Why doesn’t Barnes go out on the court and make a few baskets?

Barnes is an average coach. His record ( 1 Final 4 appearance in 33 years) speaks for itself. How many teams in the SEC do you think would like to trade coaches with us?

If his ceiling is the Sweet 16, then I would like to enjoy that for the rest of his contract. Thank you!

Barnes didn’t miss 8,000,000 open shots. Simple truth is if that if the team wouldn’t have shot 2% from 3, they would have won going away.

Ok I’ll give you he’s “ above average “ during regular season but below average in post season

Good Lord....we're six games in. This team has no identity just yet. That's my major takeaway so far. They had a horrible shooting night, defense was great, Chandler got in foul trouble. I think it's time for a starting front court of Olivier, BHH, and JJJ, I love Fulky but this team would be better off and more physical with the freshman in there.

An average coach is Buzz Peterson. Barnes took a team of nobodies and turned them into one of the best SEC teams. He's a solid coach who just obliterated UNC a few weeks ago. It's December so calm down

Barnes is a good coach not a great coach. He will never get us past the second round of the tournament. He’s not a good game coach. We jacked up 3’s and died by the 3’s last night due to coaching. It’s getting old no doubt.
