i hate oscar but can we not call a team that won a play-in game a "nightmare program"? seems a bit dramatic.
It's the fact that we had to get in via a play-in game that's got me. I don't understand people who think this kind of low bar is acceptable.
I am old. I've been watching KSU basketball since Jack Hartman. I remember Lon as a player. I attended games in Ahearn. I saw Mitch Richmond and Charlie Bledsoe play. And most in between then and now, except for a stretch when I lived out of state and was busy climbing the professional ladder (Asbury years plus a few, so not entirely sorry I was gone from the arena at that time).
And it's been up and it's been down during that time, for sure. But my standards are higher than what we've got going on now. And to be honest, I just don't like BW. I don't like his style of play, I don't like how he "handles" the team, I don't like what comes out of his mouth in press conferences. So, I'm biased - I'll give you that.
But I know this University can do better. I remember the pre-Bill football. I was there in person. The university decided to do better, found a guy who could do it, and put some serious donations behind it and look at us now. There's no excuse for us to find our current .500 and below status, not making the tourney in a legit way (play-in is not legit in my book) as "good enough" to me.
That's it.
And with Underwood now moved again, not sure who I'd pick. But I agree with the general sentiment that him leaving the Big 12 is a more realistic way for us to get him headed back to MHK. At this point, I would consider about anyone with a decent pedigree for a year or two. Crean would have been worth a thought for short term at the very least.
