Effusive praise for and thanks to Aston from Sug, Lashann, Joyner, and Shae. Distress from Joanne Allen-Taylor. And the tweet above from Celeste.
That’s usually what happens when the head coach gets fired.Wait Jamie carey is gone as well??
As well for all the administrative staff (Ortega, Brianna, etc.) . . .That’s usually what happens when the head coach gets fired.
I didn't know the entire staff goes as well so take the sarcasm elsewhere. Thank you have a nice dayThat’s usually what happens when the head coach gets fired.
A large majority, if not all of the staff will go. I wouldn’t be surprised if they kept Jamie around though. She’s a Texas-ex and by gauging social media it seems she and Celeste have a close relationship.I didn't know the entire staff goes as well so take the sarcasm elsewhere. Thank you have a nice day
He was mentioned in that podcast I linked earlier today; those guys are really high on Nooner, and believe someone (else) is gonna luck out in landing him based on our coaching changes.A fairly small sample size but I’d like to see Terry Nooner have a real shot at staying under a new head coach. It doesn’t happen often but I thought he did a really good job considering how late he joined the staff.
I like the Arkansas coach too... He took Washington to the Final Four and has done a good job bringing Arkansas back into the Top 25. He's got a pretty innovative coaching philosophy that I think resonates with young student athletes. But... He's an Arkansas boy so who knows?

Agreed! I like his apparent connection to his players and I like a high scoring offense, but I also love defense -- as in changing defenses that keep the opponent guessing and forces them to read and execute. We had really good man to man defense under KA, but it was pretty much one dimensional.My biggest knock against Mike Neighbors is he's all about offense. Run and gun, get the shot up within the first 8 seconds of the shot clock.

Tell that to Texas Tech. In order to win at a high level you better be a balanced team or you’re not going to win anything. There will be games that the ball just isn’t going in no matter how good you are offensively and you have to get stops to win.Offense is what will put butts in the seats and five you the best chance to win on a given night. Arkansas will be a tough out after this upcoming season with the vest recruiting class they’ve ever had. Same with Oregon. And in today’s game, putting the ball in the hole should be priority 1. The times of winning 40-35 games is long behind us.
Shay Holle's father has some respect for Jamie Carey as well, along with Celeste's father (who "liked" the tweet), and Ashley Chevalier's Mother.

Assuming you mean the tech men. And aside from last year, I’m not convinced that defensive style will ever allow you to compete for championships consistently.Tell that to Texas Tech.

This part is actually very harsh, but I guess it is accurate:
The announcement that Texas was moving on from Aston was no surprise, however bad the optics.
For all practical purposes, she was fired a year ago.
Del Conte and the Texas administration effectively made the decision to change directions a year ago when they let Aston enter what would be her final season here with but a single year left on her contract.
Such policy rarely happens in big-time sports unless the bosses have already lost confidence in the coach, and this was the case here.
Aston’s final-year agreement expires in August. In letting her contract lapse, Texas basically fired her a year ago, barring a major turnaround in the fortunes of a basketball program that had moments of big success but had faltered of late, especially in recruiting, and had fallen far distant of powerhouse Baylor. Del Conte clearly saw the lack of progress and moved on.
