The college basketball coaching carousel is already shaping up to feature a few high-profile openings. If Texas doesn\u2019t pick up some late-season wins, they could be looking for a new head basketball coach this offseason.<\/p>\n
Indiana is moving on from Mike Woodson. Villanova may not let Kyle Neptune hang around for much longer. Hubert Davis doesn\u2019t have a whole lot of friends at North Carolina. <\/p>\n
Similar to Davis at North Carolina, Terry started his Texas tenure strong. Filling in for Chris Beard following his abrupt departure, Texas won the Big 12 Conference Tournament and advanced all the way to the Elite Eight before falling to Miami. They were knocked out in the second round of last year\u2019s NCAA Tournament by Tennessee. After losing three straight, Terry was booed when his name was introduced at the Moody Center on Tuesday. <\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t pay attention to that kind of stuff. I didn\u2019t hear any boos. I don\u2019t know, maybe there was boos,\u201d the Texas head coach said<\/a> after a 23-point loss to No. 2 Alabama. <\/p>\n \u201cTo me, personally, I\u2019m all about trying to get my team better. It\u2019s all about focusing on those guys, focusing on what we have to do as a program and continue to stay the course and keep working. I don\u2019t get caught up on outside noise. If I worry about what people say or this or that, that\u2019s not my job. There\u2019s not anything people can say or do to me. I got the No. 1 protector in God<\/strong>. I got strong faith, I\u2019m a Christian guy, and nothing anybody says can bring me down.\u201d <\/p>\n Tre Johnson<\/a><\/strong> has been incredible for the Longhorns. The freshman is the SEC\u2019s leading scorer, averaging more than 19 points per game, and he\u2019s scored 22+ in four of the last six games, including a 30-point night in a miraculous comeback win over Texas A&M. <\/p>\n Despite Johnson\u2019s success, the losses are adding up. Texas has lost four out of their last five games to put them firmly on the bubble. Joe Lunardi<\/a> has the Horns as one of the last four byes. If they don\u2019t start wracking up wins, they may be on the outside of the Big Dance looking in. Terry is not putting any extra public pressure on his team to perform down the stretch. <\/p>\n \u201cEvery game we play is an NCAA Tournament game. In this league, every night you\u2019re playing a quality opponent. That\u2019s the No. 2 team in the country right now. We\u2019re going to get a team on Saturday that\u2019s also been in the Top-10 at some point in the season as well,\u201d he said on Tuesday. <\/p>\n \u201cIn this league, there\u2019s no nights off, in terms of the quality of teams you\u2019re playing. It\u2019s an NCAA Tournament team every night. You just keep your head down, you keep staying the course, keep working, and you gotta make it happen.\u201d<\/p>\n A win over Kentucky will probably be enough to put Texas in the NCAA Tournament field. The leash on Terry is short. A loss may have him looking for a new place of employment this offseason. <\/p>\n The post Rodney Terry is Coaching on a Toasty Seat at Texas<\/a> appeared first on On3<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The college basketball coaching carousel is already shaping up to feature a few high-profile openings….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-83368","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83368","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=83368"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83368\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=83368"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=83368"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=83368"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
