Ahem. I will accept apologies from some of you apologists who defended this staff. It was garbage. Bill Barton and company couldn't coach a CYO team.

Please......start apologizing.

I'm not huge on this staff, but Dixon knows he needs Texas guys. I really think Brandin would have been in play there but he is trying to get Brandin the Pitt job or he knows Brandin will have a shot as an assistant in the BE, ACC, A10 footprint.

Yeah but Ben brought Jamie with him. I don't remember if he brought Sandle or not with him.

Well it does make you scratch your head a little when you consider all the speculation that one of the things driving him away was Barnes maybe pushing him to make some staff changes and/or tweak the OOC schedule. If it was ruffling his feather to change his staff, you'd think there may have been at least one he'd want to take with him. I guess that one could still be Brandon.

Or maybe he was more ruffled about changing up the OOC schedule.

Didn't I see somewhere this week that Barton is moving to a head coach at some d2 school
 
Even before the official announcement of Jamie's decision was made, the Fort Worth media, who were on this story before anyone else, reported that Dixon was already putting together a staff that was familiar with Texas.
So anyone who thinks that Jamie's departure was a spur-of-the-moment decision has been misinformed.

Nope. Not at all. Time to move on from your realities that Pitt basketball was utopia. David, time to get real. Even mean.

What?

This response doesn't even make sense.

First, it's a complete and total strawman to ever, ever suggest that my reality was that Pitt Basketball was utopia. If you really believe this, than you must never have read, or at least never understood one word of anything I said.

Second, regardless of what ANYONE thought of Pitt Basketball in the past, that is now over. Why must you continue to live in it? I have moved on, and I'm asking YOU to do the same. Why can't you?

I simply cannot even begin to understand what your point is here.
 
In Jamie's defense, he needs guys with Texas ties......that said, the fact he didn't bring ANY is telling.
Dude. You started a thread saying Brandon Knight is your guy. Now you said its telling Jamie did not hire one guy from his staff... geezus

Because it's pure utter nonsense. Absolute rubbish.

I took it as though he was joking. Tough to tell on a message board.
 
Having "Texas ties" isn't nearly as important as having NYC or DC connections back East. The assistants were subpar and Dixon's decision to start clean is very telling.

BK was never going to TCU. It makes 0 sense. Its time for him to be a head coach in the MAAC, CAA, America East, or NEC, if not at Pitt. If he doesn't land a HC job, going to the Big 12 with the same boss is senseless. He has no recruiting contacts there and he needs to add another boss to his resume.
