Texas is 10-2 under Terry, with its only losses coming against No. 5 Kansas State and No. 12 Iowa State, the two teams at the top of the Big 12 with the Longhorns.
Terry said Barnes called him after he led Texas to an overtime win over Rice, which came just hours after Beard was first suspended.
"He said to me, ’Be prepared to will this team throughout the course of the rest of this season, and you’re more than prepared for this opportunity ... Go out and enjoy the ride try to take these guys as far as you can take them," Terry said. Beard was hired to jumpstart a program that became stagnant in Barnes’ final years and couldn’t break through under Shaka Smart. It was working, too. Last season, Texas got its first NCAA Tournament win since 2014. Beard also pushed for people to come to Texas’ new arena, the Moody Center, and connected with fans during his campus "fireside chats."Terry recently stepped into the spotlight a bit by appearing on a weekly radio show and a television program on the Longhorn Network.
But they also allow Terry to build his own voice as the leader of the Longhorns program, one that he insists is a player-led team. "You put your players first," Terry said. "I don’t need to be the face of the program. My face is not pretty enough."that I have read and agree
