Auburn has hired Tony Barbee

Here we go again, Miner fans.

UTEP is stuck in the same rut they were in when Billy Gillispie and Doc Sadler left the program, and is now forced to find a new coach.

Similar to the end of the Gillispie era, this departure comes as a shock to us Miner fans, as Barbee had consistently progressed during his tenure here. Even though there was much criticism from the fan base, Barbee seemed to feed off of it and pushed the team to greater heights. This years squad was extremely successful and next season presumably could be, assuming the upperclassmen return. Unfortunately for us Miner fans, Barbee seems to have found a greener pasture somewhere else.

The question now becomes, "Will this NCAA tournament team stay with the program?
