Breakups are never easy. Even if it's for the best, and both parties involved have found themselves in good, healthy situations in the aftermath, there’s always a layer of unpleasantness lingering in the periphery. This is true in all aspects of life, but perhaps no more so than in college basketball.
Case in point: the scene in Lubbock, Texas, on Monday night as the Texas men’s basketball team arrived ahead of a highly-anticipated matchup with Texas Tech. The Longhorns are led by first-year coach Chris Beard, who left the Red Raiders after five incredibly successful seasons for greener pastures in Austin. If you were wondering whether or not the Texas Tech faithful would welcome their former coach with open arms, the answer appears to be an emphatic (and expletive-laden) no.
