the Texas AD is the guy who was the GM that assembled the early 2000s Portland Jailblazers one of the worst rosters in sports ever

Wow, I didn't realize the Texas AD was a former NBA GM. That should also help out a lot with recruiting. Those NBA ties are huge to recruits.

He's a decent coach. Texas should be improved. I still think they would have been better with Greg Marshall.

Really good hire. A great coach just landed in a spot with the resources to do some real damage down the road.

I think this is an "ok" hire. I really don't think this guy will stand the test of time though. I think he'll come out flying out of the gate, and then have some under performing teams. With the way fans, the NCAA, and social media wants the game to go (less contact, more flow, which means more fouls) it's going to be a dying breed in terms of style. There's a reason nobody plays the Shaka Smart style in the NBA.

It is certainly worth the risk.
If he can motivate higher level recruits even close to the way he did at VCU, it's a grand slam hire.

No shit. If you coach in the Big 12, there's little pressure to win tourney games.
