Beard arrested?

[BALL IS LIFE]

Please tell me this is just a rumor!

I believe it was just confirmed, AAS retweeted a guy reported it as confirmed.

There were rumblings about this in Lubbock before the hire. I think most were just hoping that it was exaggerated.

 

[NEWDOC2002]

Why can’t we have nice things? Not good news but let the facts come out. There’s going to be all kind of false/incorrect stuff coming out for the next 24 hours. The MSM and social media suck at this kind of stuff.

Rumblings??

 

[Horns11]

Rumblings??

Things like no arrests but lots of concerns. Lubbock probably handles these kinds of things differently...

Just heard on the radio newscast. Son of a *****.

Your turn to step up Coach Terry! Good luck

We'll have to see how this develops - but the initial report is certainly not encouraging.

 

[Garmel]

Good chance Beard is gone after this.

 

[Horns11]

It could be one of those "get a year suspension to go to rehab and get my life in order" situations. But I wouldn't put money on it.

We have to be consistent. How have we handled players in similar situations.

Of course, we weren't there... blah blah blah

But if true this is an incredible display of tunnel vision and an inability to manage one's emotions. You can't have that. Not from a leader. Not from a follower. And during the Christmas season? And while recruiting such great players? And while doing so well on the court?

What could have been said that would cause such a thing.

Thoughts and prayers for the victim.

Alleged?

Literally came here to say this. As soon as I saw the headline I knew, the dream is finished. Is Texas cursed? I hear Jay Wright is available...

WTF!

Texas men's basketball coach Chris Beard reportedly arrested and charged with assault (msn.com)

 

[mchammer]

Imagine if we made that free throw last week and was No 1 today?

Beard is done unless the charge is an overreaction to the actual situation (for example, holding someone to prevent injury to themselves or others). Here is one example:

Career ender.

Innocent until proven guilty, but felony charges are not filed without substantial evidence.

Too bad I always liked him.

 

[Phil Elliott]

Let's wait and see how it shakes out.

 

[bystander]

The victim. Millions and millions on a new arena. Recruits. Top five program.

 

[HoffHorn]

What a complete dumb ***. Just ruined his “dream job” with so much runway in front of him!

 

[BALL IS LIFE]

Good chance Beard is gone after this.

He could possibly beat the criminal charge if the victim refuses to cooperate but I highly doubt he survives an internal investigation. Reports, photos and 911 calls will be subject to open record.

 

[HornView]

I can only imagine how devastated his players are with this news.

 

[ATX_Horns]

I can only imagine how devastated his players are with this news.

And they have to suit up tonight

 

[txlandagent]

I believe the county can and will prosecute in a domestic, even without cooperation from the victim/witness.

GAWT DAMMIT!!! The man's bio says he has three daughters and is engaged. That leads one to believe the complaintant is a female, although it could be someone else. If in fact it is a female, I don't see any way he keeps his job. DAMN! How stupid...
