Apparently some rumors about Chris Beard being arrested last night. Serious stuff, involves choking his gf. 

Anyone else see this? On the UT boards.

10 years ago I'd say he would be back on the court this year. Today? Unlikely. Will have to see how things play out, obviously, but I doubt UT wants thus kind of bad PR. Will be interesting. If he were at IU he would've been fired at 2:10 a.m.

I have a weird feeling that Texas does not care lol. They'll suspend for 5 games, spend 35 million on some PR and move on.

I seem to recall a few folks saying they heard "things" about Beard during our last coaching search which led them to believe he would not be considered an option for IU. But no one would give specifics. Most people just assumed he was a lock for Texas and that was that but now I am wondering if this was the sort of "thing" they were talking about. I don't know... I just find it interesting.

I always thought it was a little weird that it appeared IU had no interest in Beard as coach because he seemed to be a good fit on several fronts. However, with this news, I am very glad we went with Woody. If the IU search committee uncovered a few potential "red flags" that caused us to go in another direction then good on them. IU certainly doesn't need someone like that as the head basketball coach.

Yep.  I heard rumors that Beard had some legal issues in Lubbock.  Never heard what they were.

Texas basketball coach Chris Beard charged with assault (247sports.com)

Wow. What else can anyone say to this? 

On those allegations and the felony assault charge, would have to think he's done (and should be) unless somehow the charges are false/disproved, and that, at this point, seems at best unlikely.

IMO it'll be a small miracle if he's not fired, if for no other reason than it being located in Austin.

Might this help us with Liam McNeely?

No way.

[Hovadipo]

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich]

Okay... So hear me out on this one... Chris Beard gets fired... What does Texas basketball need?

Your takes are always gold - this one included.

Would assume there will be an announcement today of an unpaid administrative leave pending investigation and that Rodney Terry will take over. Then they’ll drop the hammer after enough time has passed that they can claim due diligence.
