@CarlosHoosier5 @hater3000000000 Texas Basketball lifer here. Beard would have been able to keep his job if he’d shown contrition and vowed to make it right afterward. when his lawyer sent a threatening letter to UT, that is when UT decided that he was too much of a liability to be retained. continued:

@CarlosHoosier5 @hater3000000000 Randi Trew is an alcoholic with a violent past. ask anyone from the lubbock/wolfforth area, where she was fired from her HS coaching (despite having a great W/L record) for her abusive ways. continued:

@CarlosHoosier5 @hater3000000000 What really happened: Texas played a tourney in NYC, and in that trip Randi Trew was publicly drunk and abusive, including during games at MSG, and she embarrassed the entire program with the drunken behavior on the trip. continued:

@CarlosHoosier5 @hater3000000000 when they got home to ATX, Beard was incensed, and gave Trew the silent treatment. she got pissed, got drunk, and was following Beard around their home harassing and verbally abusing him. continued:

@CarlosHoosier5 @hater3000000000 when she couldn’t get a response out of Beard, who was sober, and in his home office working, she smacked him in his face, knocking his glasses off. having reached his breaking point after being assaulted, Beard got up and restrained her. continued:

@CarlosHoosier5 @hater3000000000 during this portion of the physical altercation which she started, she ended up with him biting her and putting his arm around her from behind as they fought. she then called the police. continued:

@CarlosHoosier5 @hater3000000000 it’s at this moment that i will point out that if you switch the genders of Chris Beard and Randi Trew, then Beard is 100% the victim of domestic abuse and assault. period. zero debate.

@CarlosHoosier5 @hater3000000000 that said, Beard is the man, Trew is the woman, she called the police, and Beard was arrested. at this point, if Beard walks into CDC’s office hat in hand, vowing to take a suspension and mandatory anger management issues, Beard probably saves his job. continued:

@CarlosHoosier5 @hater3000000000 instead, Beard got defensive, claimed he didn’t do anything wrong, and had his lawyer send a more or less threatening letter to the UT AD, at which point the higher ups decided that they had no choice but to fire him.

@CarlosHoosier5 @hater3000000000 to sum it up: she was drunk, he was sober; she has a history of abuse, he doesn’t; she started, perpetuated, and escalated the fight to the point of violence; beard responded with violence, and then refused to apologize, and lost his job. continued:

@CarlosHoosier5 @hater3000000000 chris beard fucked up big time, and Texas was right to fire him. however referring to him as a woman beater or a domestic abuser is wrong, and does not reflect the reality of what actually happened.

@CarlosHoosier5 @hater3000000000 if Chris Beard has learned from his mistakes then whoever is lucky enough to hire him will become a national power overnight. if he hasn’t learned, then he’ll fuck up again. imo he’s worth the risk. best available HC in MBB by far.
