This guy writes what no one outside the KSU fanbase seems to understand.

    You can't be racist and like basketball.
I saw that, he makes a ton of sense.

Ditto, it was the only move that we had to make, and we will lose nothing if it doesn't work.  We really need to get to work on a practice facility though.

DeCourcy is an excellent writer.  He has always been one of my favorites.  He, unlike too many other sports reporters, gives you an honest story rather than one that was manufactured for the public’s consumption and for that sport writer’s personal advancement...

People need to lay off of the hire. It's obvious that the duo of Frank Martin and ACDH can recruit and if you can recruit McDonald's All American after McDonald's All American your odds of winning go way up.

The hacks at teh Star wanted to see a complete collapse of everything our school has worked for in the last year and it didn't happen. We're going to be competitive for years to come...Boohoo to the fatass and his cohort.

... so they're going to do everything they can to attempt to bring it about.

Seriously, you hire coaches because of recruiting, "x's and o's", and experience, in that order.

We could hire Martin and Hill, and automatically get a #1 player, a top 10 player, and a top 100 player.

Or we could hire Fox, and get experience.

Good move, athletic department!

fox sucks.  he's like an uncharismatic drew.  except that he's also an asshole.
"these are no longer “games” in the commonly accepted sense of the term. these are free throw shooting contests leavened by the occasional sprint to the other end of the floor."

More like: recruiting, ability to relate to players, recruiting, schmoozing parents, recruiting, recruiting, keeping players in school, recruiting, burying the dirty laundry where it won't be found, recruiting, recruiting, recruiting, recruiting, recruiting, Xs and Os, recruiting, gameday coaching ability, recruiting, recruiting, experience.  In that order.
