We're opening the year with only 1 of our top 6 players from last year when we thought would have 4.

Apparently all but one of our best players from last year have been dicking around the whole summer.  TC, etc.

We're supposed to be the third best team in the country and we're about to get stomped at home by James Madison.

Maybe not horrible, but it doesn't seem to be good.

Pretty sure you guys are wrong here.  Both grumblings and rumblings can be either good or bad.  Grumblings is simply a more intense version of rumblings.  Rumblings are like an F1 or F2am. Grumblings are F3 and F4.

K-STATE'S KELLY UNLIKELY TO PLAY TUESDAY AGAINST VIRGINIA TECH
8 minutes ago
Curtis Kelly has started the season in the doghouse.

Kansas State’s senior forward, a Preseason first-team Big 12 selection, didn’t dress in the Wildcats season-opening win against James Madison on Friday night and probably won’t play Tuesday against No. 21 Virginia Tech.

Kelly averaged 11.5 points and 6.2 rebounds last season while starting all 37 games for Frank Martin in his first season of eligibility following his transfer from UConn.

However, the 6-foot-9 Kelly’s work ethic has been questioned throughout his career.

``He probably won’t go on Tuesday,” Martin said. ``We need to be at our best in March, so I need him to be consistently good for me than the last two days. I’m not happy with the way he’s been the last two weeks.”

``We’re a very young team and I need good leadership from him,” Martin added.

Martin opted to start sophomore Wally Judge and former FIU standout Freddy Asprilla up front against James Madison. The duo combined to score just two points and grab five rebounds in the 75-61 victory.

Curtis Kelly doing better in practice, but still may not play against Virginia Tech
Kansas State basketball coach Frank Martin sent a message to Curtis Kelly on Friday when he benched the senior forward in the Wildcats’ season opener against James Madison.

He thought Kelly needed to practice with more energy and be a better teammate.

So far that message has been received. When asked about Kelly’s practice habits over the weekend, Martin said:

“He’s been better. A lot better.”

But that doesn’t necessarily mean Kelly will be back in the starting lineup on Tuesday when Virginia Tech comes to Bramlage Coliseum. Martin said it doesn’t even guarantee he will dress for the game.

“Just because he’s been halfway decent for two days I’m not going to do back flips,” Martin said. “He’s got to do right for an extended period of time. The last couple days he’s been more the way that he needs to be, unlike the way he’s been for the three and four weeks leading into last game.”

Kelly was not made available to the media today, but his teammates said he has responded well since his benching. Nick Russell said Kelly was practicing hard. Rodney McGruder and Wally Judge said he has become more vocal.

“Curt is maturing and becoming more of a leader,” Judge said. That’s what we need.”

Here’s how Jacob Pullen assesses his senior teammate.

“He’s been doing better. He continues to improve and continues to try and understand what Frank wants. It’s all about mental toughness, and you have to be able to deal with the adversity we go through in practice. Once he gets that together, him and Frank will be on the same page and they’ll mesh just fine like they did last year.”

Jamar Samuels making progress

Martin said junior forward Jamar Samuels is beginning to play like his old self in practice, and may finally be ready to put a minor eye injury behind him and play this week.

“With Jamar we’re still trying to reintegrate him into what we’re doing,” Martin said. “He wasn’t any good in practice when he got that eye deal. But he’s actually been really good here the last two days.”

Jeff's thoughts :dunno:

Quote
I recorded Kansas State's opener against James Madison. Much was made of Frank Martin benching Curtis Kelly as the coach is unhappy with how Kelly has approached his senior season from a work ethic standpoint. I'm familiar with Martin sending messages to his players, but I'll bet the house that Kelly is good to go Tuesday when the Wildcats are visited by Virginia Tech. The Hokies are talented, predicted during the preseason to finish second in the ACC. They're a senior-laden unit, and the biggest concern facing K-State entering the season was who would play alongside All-American Jacob Pullen in the backcourt. A couple of sophomores, Nick Russell and Rodney McGruder, were particularly effective, and the Wildcats' vaunted frontcourt only scored seven points. Wonder if Martin knew what he was doing by benching Kelly.

Put yourself in his shoes and ask yourself what you would do if  :ck: wasn't giving you the effort you wanted from him in practice.  Do you just let it go unchecked and hope he snaps out of it? Do you belittle him daily at practice to shame him into giving more effort?  I would hope Frank knows what motivates CK at this point and not just go with what has worked for other players in the past.  It sucks watching Frank seemingly error on the side of going too far sometimes with his style of motivating players, hopefully whatever he is doing with Curt works out.

It's lame to play the hardest workers over the players who give you the best chance to win.  There are some special olypians that work their asses off.  I don't want them starting at powerforward for my University.  We're better with CK than without.  Keep trying to get him to work hard, but if he's going to help you win, even when slacking.  Play the SOB.

I don't think any of us think Frank is going to bench CK when it matters. His philosophy on players giving everything the team needs in practice is to make sure we are the best team we can be when it does matter. It didn't matter against James Madison. I will be pissed if he doesn't play against Va Tech because that game has potential to give us a very quality win towards our resume come March. But, CK better fuckin start being a leader or else our frontcourt will be average again and we'll be a top 15 team at best

This is who Frank is.  He's making an example of CK early in the year by doing it the way he always does it.  I can start to theorize why, but it's pointless.  It's just Frank being Frank.

Guys we will beat Va Tech with or without Curt.  We have only been playing a shell of an offense and James Madison was playing pretty good D on the cats.  We will run some other looks against Va Tech and get some better looks inside.  Many of our plays set up for guards to get open looks from 3, and that worked.  I think we will see some more attempts to get the ball inside this time.  But we have enough talent to do fine when we set them up to succeed.

WHAT DO I SAY?

"Hey goEMAW kid Cole, that's Curtis Kelly, he has been a FP, TC lately and that is why he hasn't been playing.  Think about that next the next time you want to act like a little bitch.  It's a man's game.  Be a man."

This looks like a ruse to me.  CK probably has been subpar from an effort and leadership standpoint.  Frank knew that James Madison would pose no real threat so he benched CK.  It obviously had the desired effect as CK has now been performing better in practice, but rather than reinsert CK into the starting line-up Frank is going to milk this for all it's worth and really put the squeeze on CK by threatening to continue the benching for the VT game.  

Either one of two things will happen.

1. And this is more likely. CK will will continue to improve his work ethic in practice out of fear of a second benching.  Frank will then tell CK he is starting on Tuesday sometime before the game, and CK will have an inspired day against the Hokies.

or

2. CK breaks, becomes similar to Dom Sutton.  Is rendered a broken player and either withers away or quits.  

It is about 99 to 1 that option one happens.

You know this game is at 3pm on a Tuesday, right?

still, top 25 + we're number 3.  There's a lot of value being in the top 5 for the first few weeks of the season.  Probably more valuable than Elite 8 vs. Sweet 16 or whatever this dumbshit lesson gets us.

This is true.  Then again, Frank probably cares more about what he thinks this will get him later (conference wins/tourney wins).  I honestly think 1) that everyone got out their jump to conclusion mat on the actual facts.  2)  It could be a Wally minutes motivator and finally get him a big game  3)  it could get Jamar more minutes/motivator/big game 4) it might be a Pullen motivator/challenge

Will I be disappointed if we lose?  Yes.  But CBE in KC is much, much more important/worrying right now.

The only in season value in being ranked high in the preseason or early portion of the season is that a few losses here and there don't hurt your seeding as much as a loss to a team that is ranked lower.  

Being ranked in the preseason is also nice because it shows that a team has earned respect, and a reputation, and a coach can tell a recruit "you see, we've been Sweet 16 two years in a row, and now we're top 5 heading into this season, but we could really use a man like you to help get us into the final four..blah blah blah."  It also earns you much needed publicity.

Other than that there is little value in being ranked highly in the preseason.  Sure, you might say that #1 seeds are much of the time highly ranked in preseason polls, but that is because they are great basketball teams, not because of any preseason ranking.

In 2009 the preseason top ten included was 1. KU, 2. Mich. St., 3. Texas, 4. UK, 5. Nova, 6. UNC, 7. Purdue, 8. WVU, 9. Duke, 10. Tenn and Butler was #11.  Can someone please tell me the valuable role, other than what I described earlier, that being ranked highly in the preseason played for these teams?  Because, I don't see it.

Media coverage/exposure.  Pretty much all I think it is worth.  Different debate about how valuable that is, but making espn highlights/national talking points is definitely top 5 territory, particularly when we are going up against the zags/duke.

Also, I think I'm being pretty generous by saying this might get us an extra win in the postseason.  Remember when Jake had the fantastic KU game but got sat for most of @MU?  Well, the loss to MU put us firmly on the bubble, and in March, Jake got brutally Travoned.  "Frank being Frank" is just another way of saying "stupid being stupid".

But when it comes to handling players, when he needs to send a "buy in or quit" message, he's going to send it.  Probably his biggest weakness, but I don't expect him to change.  If it doesn't work, he'll be finding another job (eventually) I guess.

The "Whatever Frank does or says is fine by me" crowd is having to dig deep into the playbook right now . . . dig real, real deep.

Deity level in 3 years . . . only at K-State.



Frank did literally save our basketball program.  Literally.

The only in season value in being ranked high in the preseason or early portion of the season is that a few losses here and there don't hurt your seeding as much as a loss to a team that is ranked lower. 

Being ranked in the preseason is also nice because it shows that a team has earned respect, and a reputation, and a coach can tell a recruit "you see, we've been Sweet 16 two years in a row, and now we're top 5 heading into this season, but we could really use a man like you to help get us into the final four..blah blah blah."  It also earns you much needed publicity.

Other than that there is little value in being ranked highly in the preseason.  Sure, you might say that #1 seeds are much of the time highly ranked in preseason polls, but that is because they are great basketball teams, not because of any preseason ranking.

In 2009 the preseason top ten included was 1. KU, 2. Mich. St., 3. Texas, 4. UK, 5. Nova, 6. UNC, 7. Purdue, 8. WVU, 9. Duke, 10. Tenn and Butler was #11.  Can someone please tell me the valuable role, other than what I described earlier, that being ranked highly in the preseason played for these teams?  Because, I don't see it.

Media coverage/exposure.  Pretty much all I think it is worth.  Different debate about how valuable that is, but making espn highlights/national talking points is definitely top 5 territory, particularly when we are going up against the zags/duke.

Yep.  It's all media exposure.  Frank himself has commented on the value of getting in the top 25 because it gets us on SportsCenter every night.  When you're a top 5 team, you're discussed by every talking head at every freaking halftime of every ESPN game.  You're kidding yourself if you think there's no value in that.  KIDDING YOURSELF.

Also, I think I'm being pretty generous by saying this might get us an extra win in the postseason.  Remember when Jake had the fantastic KU game but got sat for most of @MU?  Well, the loss to MU put us firmly on the bubble, and in March, Jake got brutally Travoned.  "Frank being Frank" is just another way of saying "stupid being stupid".

Yeah.  But we aren't a bubble team this year.  I think the possibility that this helps players for the games coming up is more important than this game (which we could still win without Curt).  Like I said, Frank is setting this up as a win-win.

"Curt, we can win without you.  If you don't want to be here, we'll be fine."


"Curt, we need you out there.  You let the team down.  Earn back their respect.  They need you to lead."

I understand the media and that is real and should be a consideration.  But Frank is going to do what he's going to do and I think it has value as well.

I asked Frank if CK is playing tomorrow and he said, "probably not". I asked if there was anything he could do in the next 24 hours to get in good graces and he said he's in good graces or he'd be off the team.

michigancat's "evidence" only supports his claim that Frank benching players for not trying hard enough makes us lose. You are not allowed to draw evidence from the same situation unless you are supporting his claim. Jake probably should have played under wooldridge, at least he wouldn't have pushed him to be the best he can be because he knew how talented he was without trying that hard.

The problem is, for most k-state fans, the level of near total glory moments they require isn't very high.    Thus when a coach provides a near total glory moment at k-state, said coach is thus given a lifetime pass.    It has to feel good for Frank right now, he can drive this thing off the road, crash it, get out, set the thing on fire and walk away . . . but he's provided a near total glory moment, and thus he'll get a free pass from the majority.

I just don't want to start the season with a double digit loss to V-Tech because of our shitty post play from a bunch of inexperienced guys running around like a pack of idiots on offense and defense.  I see no scenario where that helps us in the long run this year.

Maybe Frank is banking on our guards shooting over 50% from behind the arc again, though.  In that case, we'll be fine.

The problem with this argument is that we are pretty much still involved in a "total glory moment." Coming off an elite eight and being ranked #3 is some pretty big glory for us. Until this year busts like so many people in this thread think is going to happen, then our fanbase will continue to love Frank. If we crash this year and don't get better next, there will be dissent.

And maybe our inexperienced guys (especially post players) are running around like idiots on offense and defense, in part, because of Curtis' lack of leadership in practice.  And maybe this is unacceptable to Frank.  

I say 'maybe' because nobody on here knows anything about this.  We don't even know whether Curt is even going to be benched.  It's just prognostication being fueled by fear of losing.  Words are words.  Frank never said Curt wasn't playing.  He said he doubts he'll play.  That's a big difference, IMO.  I mean, Russell played about 15 minutes through two exhibition games and in the post-game Conference Martin was talking about him not "buying in."  Yet, on Friday, he started, played about 30 minutes of the game, and had 20 points.  

IF, Curtis doesn't play, and we lose, I guess the only question is whether Frank did the right thing.  And, my point is that there is no way to know the answer to this question until much later down the road.

My problem is he is benched Tuesday is that the whole point of this is to get the desired leadership and effort out of Curtis.  Martin has already said it has worked.  He's doing much better according to him.  He also said that Curtis was not doing a satisfactory job for 2 weeks before that so he isn't ready to say he can play.  So is Frank sitting him through the CBE?  Would be a little ludicrous.

I think you're confusing "tough decisions" with "Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) decisions".  Based on what we know (CK has been loafing in practice or something), Frank has an easy decision in front of him...he is just being a Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).

There is a reason that Frank has been saying that CK "probably" wont play this whole time.  If he was going to sit CK he would have made the decision by now and it would be public.  CK will play Frank has already made up his mind.

At least that is how I see it.  If that is not the case and CK has been giving ample effort -- which by all accounts is the case-- yet is still benched for VT, then we are in trouble.  It will send a horrible message and completely deflate CK, who in my opinion could be one of the better ambassadors of our program to future recruits.  Frank wants none of that.

At least that is how I see it.  If that is not the case and CK has been giving ample effort -- which by all accounts is the case-- yet is still benched for VT, then we are in trouble.  It will send a horrible message and completely deflate CK, who in my opinion could be one of the better ambassadors of our program to future recruits.  Frank wants none of that.

Not true imo.  We didn't find out about the first benching publicly until Fri morning.  But Frank could just have effectively said that "Curtis will decide by his effort in practice whether or not he will play."  Instead he said "probably not."   :flush:

I hope you're right.  I obviously retract everything I've said if he plays.  But will the morons who would applaud Frank for benching CK consider CK playing an "inmates running the asylum" situation?

I won't applaud Frank for it because I think that since CK has responded, it is time to let it go. But, I will stay firmly on the Frank train until the rest of the season plays out to see if we still have a satisfactory season (read: Big 12 banner/final four) after all of this.

If Frank backs down then maybe this was the motivation or C-Kel legit improved (probably some combo).  If he does sit Kelly, then I don't know what the hell is going on, maybe it is pretty serious, but it could also just be Frank trying to control the expectations of the team.  Maybe he is gambling here to get the team ready for CBE/KC.

Look I'm not saying this is some brilliant move, I'm just saying that Frank regularly does this and so far it seems like his head games have paid off.

4 p.m. ET: No. 24 Virginia Tech at No. 3 Kansas State (ESPN/ESPN3) -- And here we go. One of the three or four truly marquee matchups of the marathon, Virginia Tech-Kansas State has everything: Two top 25 teams and conference contenders, two brilliant scorers at the guard position (Kansas State's Jacob Pullen and Virginia Tech's Malcolm Delaney) and a raucous home-court environment that will instantly remind you of all you've missed so dearly in the past seven months. It's also a major proving ground for Tech, which has barely missed the NCAA tournament in the past few seasons thanks largely to lackluster nonconference schedules. With a win, the Hokies would go a long way toward solving that problem early. At the very least, Hokies coach Seth Greenberg won't have to hear the scheduling criticism this time around. This is a beast of a game for the his team. And for fans of college hoops, too.

I turned on the radio and heard nothing about CK, and was, in turn, quite confused by the fact that they weren't even talking about it at all.  Then at the close KK just went and KSU will be playing VT blah...blah...blah, but no mention of CK being benched.  I was relieved.

The weird thing is, Frank has never publicly spoken about the previous suspensions/benchings.  I'm kinda thinking he's just pulling this crap to get CK's attention but that he will ultimately let him play tomorrow.  (Provided CK keeps practicing hard.)

probably because the lap dog ksu media never confronted him about it before.  or he really doesn't have a history of suspensions and benchings equivalent to what the hyperventilating fan base believes.

No it isn't.

Yes it is.  By your logic, a star athlete should never be benched.  After all, "there is no evidence that sitting [player]" will help a team in the longrun. 


Or for that matter, no tough decisions should ever be made unless a positive future outcome is guaranteed. 


You don't see any problem with this line of logic???

I think you're confusing "tough decisions" with "Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) decisions".  Based on what we know (CK has been loafing in practice or something), Frank has an easy decision in front of him...he is just being a Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!). 

Has Frank been making clearly terrible decisions up to this point?  I would tend to say no since his decisions have led us to #3 in the country.  I am not saying he is always right but if his message to CK also sends a message to the underclassmen it will be good for the program in the long haul.  Sometimes tough decisions are being willing to lose an important non-conference game in order to make sure the teams second best player and #2 leader knows how important he is...

"buy in or sutton"

qft, pretty much this. Curt won't start but Frank won't allow the game to go south after the first ten minutes without putting him in. So there's that. If he sits all game the meltdown (even in a CLOSE win, which it will be either way) will be epic. :cry:

While I am sure most of the Martinites around here will be quick to defend him, you will all have to eat a lot of crow after we lose this afternoon in what will be the least shocking upset of a top 3 team in history of college basketball.    I would save your anger though, you will to direct it toward the selection committee in March when the Wildcats are on the wrong side of the bubble.

Had an old shirt tuck tell me that they heard Curt was not going to class.   Guess he thinks he is going pro in something other than not sports.

I find it hard to believe that Kelly got caught smoking, but Russell didn't.  There is simply no way that Kelly smokes more than Nick.

Wow Frank's whole tough guy/tough love shtick is getting old . . . serious doubts about the ability of K-State to become a big time basketball school again (and yes, we were a big time basketball school once) now enter into the equation.   Class and Weed??  Wow . . .

I think Frank's "right fit" mode was probably the starting point of the slow death spiral.

Oh well, we'll always have our momement of Near Glory in 2010.

Frank, like all coaches, isn't afraid to look the other way.  But if you are dumb enough to be caught, you deserve the suspension.

Heard from an not-so-reliable source that Kelly and Pullen were upset with each other about something, and Frank took Pullen's side, meaning Kelly would sit out until it was resolved between him and Pullen. Sounds just as ridiculous as smoking and not going to class, so I figured I would add it to this thread.

He better f*cking play against Gonzaga.  Unless his name is in the paper for doing something illegal or degenerate, he should not sit out at all.

I don't want to lose against the Fewsters and not play Duke b/c that lanky armed forward is sitting on the sideline in a valuer jumpsuit.  Since every team feels the need to zone us, we need his 10 foot jumpshot in the middle.  JamSam just isn't gettin' it done from that spot.

No hullabaloo, how many coaches have we heard say this

We're gonna let the legal system run its course before we make any decision regarding that.

I gotta think that not going to class and smoking herb are a better reason to suspend CK than if he and Jake had some argument. I also gotta think that if Curt were bringing it in practice the way Frank expected him to, the smoking/class skipping would matter less.

Amazing how many people consider a 2 gm suspension to CK in late November is really that consequential.   :bwpopcorn:
