He wouldn’t hire Jeff Walz, who was begging for the job, so he won’t hire some proven coach at a major program.I’m not sure if he’ll take it, but I’ve always said that whenever Rick retires my first call is to T.J. Otzelberger at Iowa State and make him say no. His annual salary right now is $4 million, which is $2 million less than Rick Barnes makes here.
Maybe Otz likes coaching at a smaller school with less pressure to win, but you could give him the Barnes contract and see if he says no.
I know you support her, and that's fine. They may have been outmanned, but they crapped the bed when it mattered, again. An all too familiar theme for her. At least the substitution patterns were reined in, at least in the portion I watched. Just too many TOs and boneheaded plays. Not getting a shot off on the final possession is crazy, as is having the person you clearly want taking the shot also be the inbounder with 6 secs left. Those things just don't make sense to me.Her team was outmanned today and still turned in a good performance.
The future of her team is very young. Once they mature I really believe she will have a team nobody wants to play.I know you support her, and that's fine.
