The continuing dismantling by Patterson
[QUOTE=""]
"The University owes Rick a great deal of gratitude and respect for all he's done to put Texas on the basketball map," Texas athletic director Steve Patterson said in the statement. "He elevated our program immensely and always did it with class. He put our student-athletes first. He won with integrity. We thank Rick for his many years of service to Texas and wish him continued success in the future."

Texas said it will begin a national search for Barnes’ replacement immediately.
Two coaches interested in the Texas opening and who will be in the mix to replace Barnes are Wichita State’s Gregg Marshall and VCU’s Shaka Smart, according to sources.
One source told ESPN that Patterson also could go for an outside-the-box hire with NBA ties. Patterson has NBA connections as a former executive with the Houston Rockets and Portland Trail Blazers.<<<
