he didn't write that one...but he did have a blurb in the bottom of one of his roundups. Apparently he thinks Jake didn't get to answer the question.

Worst career-ending soliloquy: We'll never know how Jacob Pullen would have responded to a similar question to the one Faried received because Kansas State coach Frank Martin instead yanked the spotlight from his senior by scolding the reporter who asked it. "That is what you wanted to see?" Martin said as emotion overcame Pullen. "That what you were trying to get out of him? Make him cry here in front of people? Good question."

The question did suck, but it is the same question that gets asked after every ncaa game. Frank freaked out because that is what Frank does, he was pissed because you lost and he was sad for his guys which he should be. That is why I don't think that the losing teams players should have to go to those things, they can talk to the coaches and leave the kids out of it.

Surely potential recruits understand that it is more important to have a coach that values his relationship with his players more than staying cozy with local media.  Hopefully 'tuck 'tard donors can figure that out too. Anyone who saw that press conference understands why players like playing for Frank. Hopefully the people with $ to give to the program can manage to watch press conferences and interviews instead of just getting the mediatards interpretations of them.

This.
So what if Yahoo had a front page story on this and the writer hated on Frank? Look at the comments, 95% were people telling the writer to shut up and quit defending fellow journos. Just because the simpleton ku fans believe everything they read in the KC Star or hear on 610 am, doesn't mean the rest of the country is that gullible.

I was unaware until today that Robinett is a Kansas alum. Although that would seem fortuitous for my post, it should be irrelevant. If Robinett is doing his job, his former links to rival schools should be inconsequential. Now, if his reporting contains anti-K St. leanings, I would say that the Wichita Eagle should do a better job hiring its reporters. I hope, upon all hope, that Robinett can sever his emotional ties with Kansas in order to write non-bias articles regarding the Wildcats of Kansas State. Irrespective of Saturday’s press conference, Robinett’s question is another case of adversarial journalism where reporters imply things instead of just reporting facts.

Jake always talks about how Frank was in his living room telling him he could ball.  I think it's widely accepted that Frank was Jake's lead recruiter.

This is exactly what Frank shot back with.  Said that all the kids were re-recruited by him and his staff and all kept their commitments.  Said Bill was the only guy "stuck" anywhere due to transfer rules, etc.

Seemed to really strike a nerve.

To expand on this: Not just has Kellis proven to be biased, he's just a generally poor sports journalist. The way he chose to phrase this question only illustrates this... and is the real issue here.

From a journalists perspective, I can understand needing ask Jake his feelings on a spectacular career. I can also understand needing to ask Jake his feelings on a really tough loss at the end of that career. But some leading amalgamation of the two that was hardly intelligible is just being a crappy reporter.

It simply shows that Robinett put no thought what-so-ever in to what he was going to say when called upon. Frank's been dealing with this schmuck all year long... That's why I have no problem with Frank pointing out to him that he's poor at his job... in other words "a joke".

1. kellis covers kstate for the two largest newspapers that cover kstate. i care that he is poor. where am i going to get kstate info from? not him. he's not only anti-ksu and the players/coaches know it, he's just bad. the wording and asking of the question is just the lastest example. straw and camel or whatever. he's just really, really, really, bad and it does hurt the average kstate fan because of the lack of inroads he can make and lack of info that we will get because of it.

2. yes.

3. good question. no answer for that one.

Then is it not powertardy to spend a good portion of your life on an internet bbs dissecting other peoples posts to such an extent that you actually have a "track record" of trying to intimidate them from posting more?

Perhaps it's not "powertardy"... rather just plain "'tardy". And in that case, congratulations. At least you can read. You're one step ahead of most of the other "special" people in the world.

"the question" is just the latest and maybe best example of why kellis sucks. that's why people are mad. it's just a huge realization for a lot of people that we are never going to get anything good in terms of ksu coverage from the star and eagle as long as he is there.

it is a hobby though and one that i want the most possible enjoyment out of. for me, that includes winning teams (bball and fball only) as well as much good and insightful coverage of those teams as possible. you don't care about at least one of those and i shouldn't really judge you for it. to each their own. have fun collecting stamps from walgreens, putting them in a scrapbook and showing them off to your family. fun hobby. enjoy. dumbass.

Frank Martin Is The Most Terrifying Coach On Earth

Quote
Emma Carmichael — Wisconsin beat Kansas State in the second round on Saturday, and in the post-game press conference, a reporter's question made Wildcat senior Jacob Pullen cry. Terrifying hero-coach Frank Martin came to his star's defense, and in that moment we were reminded that if Frank Martin wanted to, he could probably make Bob Knight crap his pants with one glance. Unless his wife is nearby with a light-up Rudolph. Til next year, Coach Martin.
