It’s really amazing to see how the last few years have gone for these two coaches & for the Texas Basketball program in general.
Just about all of America thought Shaka was a Slam Dunk hire for Texas & obviously that has anything been but the case.
On the other side Rick Barnes had the narrative that he recruits great players, but can’t win the big games & his teams always come up short of expectations & maximizing their potential.
I can confidently say now that I was wrong about both the coaches in where I underrated Barnes & overrated Smart, it will be interesting to see how it all plays out over the next few years. I believe Tennessee has a real shot to cut down the nets come March.
