The Official Rick Barnes discussion thread

It's the same every season. We don't have any clutch players. RB loves the baby deer he can mold into whatever. It's not sustainable

We’ve had two clutch players the last two years and made an EE in both. Our offense last year ended 17th in efficiency. Pesky facts.

There is no scenario in which his tenure here ends any other way than on his terms.

Fair... However, with the lifetime contract,he won't be coaching too much longer at his age anyway.

He is a classy guy and I get people worrying about the next coach up,but other schools have done well at finding coaches recently.Barnes has built the program up to where it's a respectable job. I think the future is bright.

Recency is all that matters. We aren't hiring a coach 25 years ago. If current coaches see us as a top 5 job in a top 2 conference, we are in a great position.

Kentucky had to settle for an alum because even they couldn’t land a big name. There is no chance we will.
