Some of the buyouts are ridiculous.

It was done. Don’t know the exact details but supposed to be significant

 

[schoonerwest]

What was his salary before the extension?

 

[toonces11]

That.....is a lot of money.

 

[TechFan88]

What was his salary before the extension?

$3.175 mil

 

[nettlegettle]

What was his salary before the extension?

3.2

Buyout is 6 mil for state of Texas or big12. 3 mil for erbody else. Nobody at his salary level has a buyout so I consider that a win.

 

[DallasJayhawk]

3million buyout wont even make the school's blink that would consider him..

Its 6 mil in the Big 12/state of Texas. Its 3 mil for outside. But other guys in his salary range don't really have buyouts so we got what we could.

 

[nettlegettle]

3million buyout wont even make the school's blink that would consider him..

They only have to beat 5 million. No big deal. He's paid more than your coach and he has no buyout. Are you guys worried? Maybe you should be.

 

[dukedevilz]

3rd highest paid coach? Not bad, Tech. Not bad. Well deserved. You guys got yourself a keeper.

 

[WestTexasRaider]

That goes a hell of a lot farther in West Texas than it does most places. The man is set for life and he has unbelievable support for his program. Excited to see what this man can do going forward.

 

[Big_Blue79]

Congratulations, hope he sticks around until he replaces Cal at UK.

 

[RipThru]

Love the way that dude gets his team to guard.

 

[BasketBallJunkie-UK]

Fantastic for the Red Raiders!

That put the dagger in Texas basketball. They are serious about basketball now

Unless he wants to buy some land covered in mesquite trees about 100 miles south. Then it would cost him a fortune. Lol

I have a few sections down there if he is ever interested though. But your right, it won't be cheap.

Never mind. I just remembered we talked about that last month.

Would you take 1000 pesos and a week in the penthouse suite at Hotel Settles for it? I’ll even throw in a catered lunch (for just you) three different times.

You're a pimple on UT's ass, if they want him they will take him, you are the new Wichita State, delusional... GL in ur 15mins

Well we done all we could. Paid him a ton and got at least a buyout in the contract. If someone wants to just kill him with money not much we can do besides what we have done.

Gregg Marshal stayed at Wichita St for 11 seasons. I would not mind Beard staying that long.

youre delusional if you think that's a good job. there is a very good reason they don't ever accomplish anything in basketball, nobody cares. even when they were really good in basketball nobody cared.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

Winning does that for coaches.

He is a UT alum but his family(children of divorce) are all in West Texas. He likes it there and has spent 17+ years in West Texas. It doesn't really matter what UT wants in this case because he doesn't appear interested in Austin.

 

[speedfrk]

4.5mm a year. Third highest paid coach.

Interesting

Do you think the average Lubbock resident could describe what a basketball looks like 2 years ago?

 

[TechFan88]

Assistant pool got a 34% bump as well from $820,000 to $1.1 million to allocate among his three assistant coaches.

The $29.5 million basketball practice facility is scheduled to be completed June 2020.

Yes. Hell I remember back when I was in school seeing Bob Knight out coach Bill Self.

 

[schoonerwest]

Yes. Hell I remember back when I was in school seeing Bob Knight out coach Bill Self.

2005 was robbery. Aaron Miles got mauled by 3 defenders and no foul was called. I don’t remember the exact circumstances of how everything went down but I do recall people being pretty upset with the refs at the end of that game. More so than usual.

I think KU lost in Lubbock in 2005, 2007 and 2009. They went something like 8 years in a row without a win there.

 

[ExitFlagger]

Remenber that time he lost by 50 in Lawrence? Old chap sure got the best of Bill that day.

I feel that way most times we play @Kansas and experience the "magic".

#2 ranked KU up 79 to 77 after a defensive rebound Miles got called for traveling with 7.9 seconds in the 2nd OT while three Tech players were trying to tie him up for a jump ball. Freshman Daryl Dora who was 0-4 from 3 drained a 3 from NBA range with 3.1 seconds left.

Back in those days we only played once. It was nice those seasons when we got KU in Lubbock where we played them tough.

I don't really recall that. I do remember the 2018 game @Kansas where Tech won 85-73. I also vividly remember the game earlier this year in Feb when Tech beat Kansas 91-62.

When we are good we show up. When Knight was at TTU people showed up. So yes, sorry about the truth

KU’s foul disparity is middle of the pack in the league. Even in home games. Obviously you zero in on officiating more vs the team that has thoroughly dominated you.

Thought we were talking about Bob Knight? But congrats on splitting the last two years. Pretty big deal. Those two wins represent a third of your all-time win total vs KU, after all.
