Coach's Corner

Like Bill Murray in Groundhog's Day, the UTmen's basketball team is doomed to repeat its failures anew each year, and it seems to come as a total shock each time.

"...close look at the numbers dispels a common notion. Rick Barnes has a reputation as a no-nonsense defensive coach..."

Feb. 23, 2001 Column by Andy "Coach" Cotton

Coach's Corner

Let's have a little historical perspective here. Rick Barnes is doing a fine job as the UT basketball coach, but he didn't single-handedly create the UT basketball program. That was Abe Lemmons, in 1976.

Mack Brown or Rick Barnes jump to the pros? Not likely, when just the hint of a threat will get them a fat renegotiated contract.

Coach's Corner

Four seed? Six seed? It really doesn't matter if you lose your first game. UT basketball teams have gotten way too used to early exits from the NCAAs.

Coach weighs in on UT men's basketball (still lacks reliable offense), Super Bowk 34 (the Tennessee Titans should take it in an upset), and Bobby Phills' fatal car crash (tragic, but it was after all his own fault, and at least he didn't kill any innocent bystanders).
