So much respect for Texas Tech coach

Can't disagree here. Definitely a guy I'd want us to approach if we ever had a vacancy in the future. I was impressed with the crowd and the atmosphere at TT the other night - that is a total change from before. We need more fanbases in the league to really care about basketball. Really, it's just us and KU. K-State and WV might claim to (and do have better history than we do as programs), but they are in another tier below. Then, it's quite a drop to that next level with Baylor at the bottom. Our league would be even better if the passion from the fans matched the level on the court more evenly across the board. This is a league with really good coaches and really good basketball, but only so-so game atmospheres and that's always disappointing. TT's improved fan support made the game Wednesday much more fun to watch and the victory even more satisfying.
Did you happen to see Bill Walton’s thoughts on the UCLA job?
I think I saw a rumor on twitter that the Muss Bus is out due to his DUI. Which is odd considering they didn’t mind hiring the scum of the earth last time they had an opening.
I also think Beard is really good, gentleman and a great coach. I think whoever wrote this article has gone a little overboard. Tech has something that no other team in the B12 has besides Kansas? Great fans and recruiting? Give me a break!
I've been a fan of Beard's since we first played him in the tourney. I was figuring that we were going to lose Wednesday and thought if anybody other than ISU was going to dethrone KU I wanted it to be Beard, not so much TT, but I respect the hell out of him. And he's a dead ringer for a friend of mine, so I guess it might play into this.
If you and your friend go to W. Texas you might not have to pay for a drink all night.
Beard is a total class act. I've always liked him. Great coach too.
He gives the opponent all the credit, but also doesn't throw his own players under the bus either. He credited his own team for fighting back hard in the 2nd half, but it just wasn't enough. Said they've had some close Big 12 games that they've come out on the better end, and this one they just didn't.
All coaches should watch this press conference and learn how to do it right.

As a long time lurker, I don't often agree with Clonedude but I do with this message. Probably a lesson for us fans as well (me and others) that, after a painful loss, maybe it has more to do with the other team's exceptional performance than the lack of effort/performance of our own coaches/players.
Actually I'm not sure what the issue with Dixon or Weber, really. Weber has dorky mannerisms who's on the floor all night but it's not his fault they don't get him for it. Dixon...is there something there?
My only issue with Dixon is the slicked back hair. You can't trust anyone that slicks back their hair.
Not only slicked back... it's only the top section he slicks back... then the sides like poke out straight. It's just odd.
Here it is. He's very frustrated, but continues to be very classy.

I think NWB is a great player we're at our best when he's playing well but is there serious talk about him being a lottery pick?
He was referring to Babb guarding Culver (the 6'-6" lottery pick).
I can't get on board with that look. It's so weird to me.
