I'll be the first one to throw out a name..... the TCU coach - Raegan Pebley.

I think she needs 6 or 7 more years to really prove herself. Patience Horn fans, patience.

Frank Martin



then the coaching progression would be Aston-Martin

Big guy, you are on to something. The job that Pebley is doing at TCU has been impressive.

I don't know about that. That would be a , uh, well a real job.

I have a pretty good hunch that Shaka Smart is going to be available soon.

Oh wait.....

And TCU has a senior heavy team. So now is the time for the TCU coach to make a move versus having to reload and wait on young players.

Did Del Conte hire the current TCU coach when he was there?

Yes.

Maybe that will direct some frog hate to horn for pilfering a coach.

Charli Thorne from AZ State. Consistently ranked, and she might want to get out of the Pac12 meat grinder. She just hit 500 wins.

BUVA, that is a good one, too. Pebley does indeed have a senior laden team that has profited from transfers, but her first year at TCU impressed me a lot. She knows the conference, the recruiting territory, and has enough experience to make a strong case.

Thorne has been around longer and has an impressive resume. Her teams are usually good defensively, and well schooled and disciplined. She is one of several top coaches in the PAC 12 who stand out.

I hope they give Travis Mays an opportunity

Froggies don't care about WBB, especially the way we do. Would barely be a blip on their purple radar.

Mark Morefield from MHBU would be our worse nightmare as he can recruit and coach. Don't think it will happen but he would make UT competitive and a legit power again in the conference.

Actually anybody that could coach would make them a threat.

While there are likely multiple coaches out there that could do a better job than Aston, UT's best bet as far as being a consistent power/threat in the conference again is to wait for CKM to retire which is hopefully still a long ways off.

Our Niya Johnson is an assistant coach for Morefield--he might take her along!

Tcu coach would be my first choice. They might interview that turd waltz or maybe Vic Newman but I doubt they would pay what it would take to get either.

What's going on down there in Longhorn Land? Coach Gail couldn't get it done and now Aston has a team with talent and the result is the same. Has to be more than just the coach.
AirBear

I believe it has to do with a coach 90 miles to the north.

BUVA.....Niya Johnson only coached with Coach Morefield for 1 year and that was last year. She moved on in another direction. Niya is no longer one of Morefield's assistant. Fred Ellis (former Baylor basketball player) is now on Coach Morefield's staff fyi.

I'm here for the time being. Coach G didn't forget all her BB when she crossed the Sabine River and Aston has an excellent record by most standards....

I believe there must be something else at Forty Acres involved, and I'm not superstitious and don't believe in talismans. Shaka might be another example here, to go with Strong and Sledgehammer.

Same sense of entitlement that afflicts the Football team. McDonald's All Americans react just like the 4* and 5* football kids. They peaked very early and don't take well to being coached hard. They hit their ceilings much earlier than the type of kids we try to bring in.

Another reason Kim doesn't lose many recruiting battles to UT (some, but not many).....she makes it very clear how she will catch the kids and won't take or keep ones that can't take that type of instruction. The same can't be said for Aston, or many of their coaches for that matter.

I think it has to do with the type of player texas gets. We get Cox they get Holmes and boothe. Kim doesn't recruit snowflakes. There was a center from a local high school
A few years back that we didn't recruit. It seemed weird at the time but kim knows the ones that can't play for her.

I had never applied a 'catch & release' philosophy to basketball, but I can see that it works.

IMO Aston is doing ok for UT. Sure she can't beat Baylor, but few can. As far as it come to recruits, UT has always done less with more.

I think Aston is doing great and should remain there for years.
