Wow...how does the media even think Hoiberg would be a candidate for this job? I mean ANY job in the Big 12 let alone a non-pro job?
Except he has said repeatedly he likes his life in Eastern Washington as there is very little stress there and he has no intention of leaving until he's done. Unless you also believe every single rumor about Hoiberg leaving Iowa State as well. Some people are just happy where they're at.
UT's private jet seen warming up at Bergstrom. Has filed a flight plan taking it to Cleveland.
Look, I can start a rumor.

He hasn't taken them past the second round since 2008. Texas has had way too much talent over that time for a SS berth 7 years ago to be the most recent highlight. If they're willing to spend the money to lure a Marshall-type to Austin, the program can take a huge step forward.
Yes, there's something to be said for class. Hopefully, he stays in orange, same wardrobe, and at UT.
Because you will have something to hate? I guess that's one way to do sports.
Go from burnt orange to orange. Same wardrobe. Just cross out the U off UT of the sweatshirtand go with T.
Just got the news that Myles Turner is entering the NBA draft!

People on twitter are reporting that Shaka is in talks with Texas.T
This would annoy me. I really, really like Shaka. VCU is a team that I follow closely because of him. And if Hoiberg ever left, the two coaches that Iowa State could hire that would be somewhat OK with me would be Shaka and Hornacek.

This. Barnes seems like a good guy from the accounts I've heard. But...the source I saw had him listed as the 11th highest paid coach in DI MBB, and IMO the on-court performance just wasn't there for that kind of salary and the talent he brought in.
I hope UT finds a good coach that can push the Big 12 to a higher level of play. IMO, there isn't a Final Four quality team in the league right now, and there hasn't been for the past three seasons, except perhaps last year with ISU and a healthy Niang. That needs to change. The league has good talent, an exciting style of play for the most part, and teams that can play well for stretches, but nothing like a Wisconsin that brings consistent physically/mentally tough play for (usually) a full 40 minutes game after game.
IMO, the Big 12 is at a point now where a team can get away with a good deal of not fundamentally sound play and still finish well in the conference. In the long run, I don't think that's a good thing. Not that long ago, there were several years (2004, 2006, 2007) where the Big 12 (with 12 teams) could only manage four teams in the NCAA tourney. In 2007, KSU was 10-6/21-10 and couldn't get in the tourney, largely because of the reputation of the league. Don't want to go back to those days...
Kinda wish I was still in Austin so I could witness the hysteria again. The hysteria surrounding the replacement for Mack was awesomely hilarious.
