So much respect for Texas Tech coach

The funny thing is the shot was definitely an ugly looking, terrible shot but it did draw a little iron. If I were him I would be laughing rather than upset when they chanted airball all game after that.
There's typically at least one post in a Gameday thread requesting for NWB to be benched, and I think someone even said he should transfer again during one game.
Chris Beard calls him one of his favorite players in the Big 12.
I'll go with Beard on this one.

A point guard that can guard a 6'6" lottery pick while running the offense and taking care of the ball? Yeah, I'll go with Beard on this one too.
It worked, especially on his free throws. Dude was 3/9, 0/4 from 3. 1/4 FT.
Beard seems like a good respectable guy, and leaving Tech to go to UT would be a massive slap in the face to Tech's program. I can't see him doing that.
It is becoming more evident every game that our offense stalls when NWB isn't in there as well. And it seems to me that he his increasing his aggressiveness each game. I think he is timing it to have his best game against Tennessee for the championship.
I wish we could have had him as a freshman. I wish he could have had an extra couple of years in our "system".
Yeah, I agree. The dude is too good of a player to let something like that affect him. But he still is a true freshman.
There were complaints Wednesday about him stalling with the ball in the 2nd half, and it may have been true to an extent, but it looked pretty hectic, and there shouldn't be too much complaining about a player who can help to slow things down and let things get situated a bit, especially with a lead and a young team in a tough environment.
The anti NWB people are even dumber than the anti Prohm folks.
I didn’t realize Beard is a Longhorn grad. I think he will be their next coach whenever Texas cans Smart.
Agreed. Year after year I'm amazed at how many programs fall for the new shiny thing that makes a run in the NCAA tournament. It often does not work long-term.
As much as I enjoy his soundbites, have to agree here. I know some people who know Huggins personally and believe he's bad for the game of basketball. Supposedly he treats everyone around him like dirt, including players, coaches, staff, everyone.
I've also heard horrible stories about things he whispers in officials' ears. Stuff he knows he won't get T'd for because no one else hears it. Stuff so nasty I can't even hint about it.
There is no excuse for officials not T'ing him up for those. They don't have to answer to anyone except the league's director of officiating and other officials could easily back up the official under scrutiny if he makes a habit of it.
That's true. I think it's a pride thing for some people. They don't want him to know he's getting to them. And they don't want to deal with the aftermath of him throwing up his arms and claiming he didn't do anything and turning a whole gym against them. So, right or wrong, he gets away with it.
