Jerome Tang Coaches Kansas State Basketball / Re: Wow! What a season by oscar!
« on: March 07, 2018, 11:44:21 AM »No way in hell will firing oscar be considered this year. His seat isn't even lukewarm.You guys do realize we will be like a 10 seed right?We made this acceptable the moment we hired oscar. Nothing he's done to date should be a surprise to anyone.
You realize Oscar has not won a round of 64 game yet right?
So if we lose round 1, that still acceptable for you in year 6?
It will be acceptable to literally no one if oscar doesn't get out of the first round, and I can't believe you actually responded to PIPE's illiterate ass.
You're correct, but these things can both be true. He has two years to win a first round game, this wouldn't be the case if his previous tournament record was acceptable.
I don't think you can say him failing to win a tournament game is unacceptable yet also say he won't be fired if he fails to win a tournament game. I mean you can possibly say it's unacceptable to not win an NCAA tourney game 7 years in a row, but failing to win NCAA tournament games anywhere from 1-6 years is absolutely acceptable at Kansas State University.
I didn't say failing to win A tournament game is unacceptable, in his situation not getting out of the first round in 6 years is and if he doesn't, he should and will feel more heat. Of course this is completely situational. Going to 4 tournaments in 6 years with just a first four win gets you a extension at Nebraska or Texas Tech, that gets you fired at Indiana or Xavier.
The reason why this season isn't a tipping point is that he's getting all these guys back, if he has a similar season next year then you'd have hard evidence that this is what oscar is. Gene may be okay with oscar but the fans won't be. He'll lose a lot of people like myself, who currently supports the program.
There currently exists a large and powerful sample size with clear evidence as to what exactly Oscar is. One more year and then there will be hard evidence? Then we'll have 280 power 5 conference games for evidence instead of 262? False positive. So what if he finishes 2nd-3rd in the Big 12 next year. Then what? Maybe wait another 3-4 years for another once-in-a-generation type of player from a small town in Kansas? Sounds like a great plan.
