How long does Barnes keep his job with season after season horrendous underachieving. I would guess Texas is top 5 in the country in NBA placement over the past decade, yet barely a top 25 program over that stretch.

What hurts Texas probably more so than any other school are early departures with guys clearly not ready for the NBA. For whatever reason, all of his players not named Durant or Aldridge went to the NBA far too soon. That constant turnover is difficult to recover from unless one is coaching one of the traditional heavy-weights like Kentucky or North Carolina.
So Kabongo stays and Brown goes.

i don't really agree with this ...
if a player either A. is a first round pick .. or B. sticks in the league then it is not a bad decision to go ...
you get much better coaching in the NBA than is college (much better than at texas)
and even if they don't make the NBA they can make a bunch of money overseas
You have to maximize your hype and as you said, coaching is better in the NBA anyway. Coaches in college can't even interact with their players in a gym setting during the summer...laughable.
that rule is at least changed for this year .... they can work them in small groups 2 days a week

Actually they lost 3 last year in Jordan Hamilton, Corey Joseph and Tristan Thompson.
