Chris Low & Rob Lewis reporting Rick Barnes will stay

Which is not a crazy take at all.

It may end up proving to be a poor financial move over the next 5 years if UT falls back to a 18-20 win team that's scrambling in Feb every year.

If he does a good job over that time it could also set up well for UT to expand the pool of coaches it can lure in a way it never has been able to because they re now proving they are inve$ted in mens basketball.

For sure. And the bar is pretty low here in regards to consistent success in basketball. I’m not sure we even reached it with Bruce.

5 more years of borderline sweet 16 appearances and an elite 8 maybe thrown in and I think we all feel fine about the deal.

Agreed.
