The Texas Longhorns are distancing themselves from the pack following wins over No. 7 Kansas State and No. 11 Baylor this week. They are in position to win a Big 12 regular season title in basketball.
Finishing first in the regular season standings was once a pipe dream for the program. Now Texas is on the verge of not only winning the conference, but running away with it.
Rodney Terry deserves the credit for the run. Basketball is a players game, but what he has accomplished as acting head coach is nothing short of incredible.
Terry was placed in a nightmare scenario when handed the reins to lead the team. His ability to steady the ship in chaotic circumstances alone is praiseworthy. Albeit, it’s not the most impressive part of his resume.
The Longhorns head coach is making game-winning adjustments to erase double-digits deficits. He is coaching.
As far as I’m concerned Terry can coach circles around Shaka Smart. In addition, he embodies all the traits that Texas fired Chris Beard for lacking. Quite frankly, he’s winning the right to be the head coach for the foreseeable future.
