Did Rick Barnes make a massive career mistake?

[GoHawks85]

..by going to Texas?

If he would have gone to a university where they gave a sh#t about basketball, he might be in the Hall of Fame?

 

[KUhawks34]

Yes but going to the SEC gives him a fighting chance. Easiest conference to compete especially the way Calipari has been recruiting lately.

 

[osufanatic4life]

Meh.

 

[Turinturumbar]

The continual underperforming(compared to their recruiting) of Texas in both basketball and football, is an enigma. Can't understand it.

 

[ExitFlagger]

Nah. SEC makes mediocre coaches stand out. See: Bruce Pearl, Cuonzo, Calipari.

You try so hard. It’s admirable.

Says a Big 12 fan....

 

[Quavarius]

Didn't win in ACC or Big 12. Goes to SEC football conference and looks like a GOAT.

Ikr, because he won so much in the Big XII.

 

[Da_Bull]

Because he went 23-7 at UTjr?

Seems like he had a pretty good career at Texas.
