Norm Peterson Posted December 12, 2022 Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 (edited) UT basketball was on an upward trajectory. Had beaten Creighton the game before we played CU. This will have reverberations and it will be interesting to see what happens. He's one of the best coaches in CBB. Will his career survive? Should it? By the way, we have 4 common opponents with Texas this year, so what happens with them will affect our strength of schedule rating stuff.

Huskerpapa Posted December 12, 2022 Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 Good lord. I hope that the individual assaulted is on the road to recovery. I guess it will be interesting to see how Texas handles the situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handy Johnson Posted December 12, 2022 Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 Well, since it’s Texas (the State more so than the University) it will be handled in a different fashion than most other places.

Cazzie22 Posted December 12, 2022 Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 His career in Austin may be finished. However, all the facts aren’t available. Tragic for his family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Peterson Posted December 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 In other sad coaching news, Mike Leach is not long for this world. Massive heart attack yesterday and it sounds like they've shifted him to palliative care/hospice until he passes. This is a bummer for me. I have always enjoyed his maverick behavior. He's a classic. A national treasure. aphilso1, NUtball, Cazzie22 and 6 others 1 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the news reports I read said that he was out for 15 minutes before paramedics were able to get a defibrillator to get his heart beating again. That sounds more like a heart attack than a stroke but I’m no expert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any event I'm sure we'll know the real story soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
