Rodney Terry the glue who has kept Texas a Final Four threat
In a season that could have turned disastrous, Texas' players have been able to lean on interim coach Rodney Terry, who guided the Longhorns to two 20-point wins over Kansas in an eight-day span, including a triumph in the Big 12 tournament championship game.DES Moines, Iowa — Rodney Terry didn’t have long to sit with the shock the morning of Dec. 12.
To that end, Terry gathered the team’s six elder rotation players and sophomore guard Tyrese Hunter for an open discussion early that morning. Everyone spoke through their confusion and uncertainty, aired it all out. Texas has won plenty since Terry took over for Beard, who was ultimately fired Jan. 5 for cause. The felony charge was dropped Feb. 15, and Beard was formally introduced Tuesday as Mississippi’s new head coach.
The last time a Texas team entered the NCAA field with such astronomical expectations, Rick Barnes was the head coach, Terry was his lead assistant, and D.J. Augustin was arguably the best guard in the country. Yeah, it’s been awhile.
