He's done a damn good job at UT. And I'm not just saying that because we're 3-0 over the last two seasons lol.

There aren’t divisions in basketball anymore.

Barnes gets a nice raise out of UT.

A win for the SEC's image.

Re: Barnes contemplating leaving UTK for Ucla

I heard him speak at a Clemson IPTAY (I pay ten a year) dinner about 25 years ago when a colleague of mine - who happened to be a former Clemson athlete - took me to their dinner. This was a couple weeks after he had the run-in with Dean Smith. It was a very interesting group but I came away liking Barnes for some reason.

Later that year, I took my colleague to a Bama alumni dinner where Dabo was the speaker when he was an assistant at Bama. Coincidence?

Agree. At soon to be 65 with a rebuilt UT program (to his specs) he can coach at a minimum of another 5 years. UCLA is a hot mess right now, along with the entire PAC12. I can see the allure of going to Westwood though. Good decision.

People using UCLA to get a raise, that’s funny.

I just got an alert that Ucla hired Cincinatti's coach.

I guess he straightened out his custody issues. Or he decided fame and fortune in LA was more important than his daughter being near both parents.

Even funnier that he stayed at UcheaT.

I don't typically check other teams' message boards, but had a free minute, so I checked BearCatTalk.com. There is currently an unfavorable 56 page thread on Mick Cronin that started on 3/22/19. I just clicked near the end and found this gem on page 55:

Watched Micks opening statement for his press conference.
1. If I’m a UCLA fan I love the interview.
2. As a UC fan it just shows how full of [crap] he is
