I haven't seen South Carolina play other than once or twice since he took over. I know a lot of national media basketball folks think he is a year or two away still from contending for an NCAA birth.

Good for Frank. I will always miss his interactions with Robot Stan the most.

Bunch of people think he's a bum that didn't deserve to coach, but are mad when he leaves. 

Maybe he he was unhappy because the guy is a competitor and wants to see what could happen if he gets players elsewhere?  You only get to live life once.  You're not going to get to go follow Huggins and coach Beasley again.  Some people don't like dealing with Currie for 5 years and don't care what a bunch of anonymous internet trolls think.

Currie and the rest of you should just forget about Frank.  If he's as horrible as everyone has been saying for weeks then I don't see how he is even relevant in the discussion at k-state.

Too bad no one gives a $hit at USCe and he's still one more Frankrage on TV away from getting canned.

I don't have a problem with anyone who dislikes Frank. The biggest reason anyone here ever liked him is that he was at K-State. That reason no longer holds. And there are reasons not to like him. For example, his abusiveness is pretty much indefensible.

I don't hate Frank, I am just amazed on how much adulation the guy gets on this board when he didn't put a single trophy of significance in the trophy case.   His tenure was slightly above Lon Kruger's tenure, and unlike Lon he walked into the head coaches offices and sat down with Mike Beasley and Bill Walker sitting on the other side of the desk courtesy of Bob Huggins.   At the end, his recruiting absolutely blew.

dax, he coached the best basketball teams of 90% of this board's lifetimes as fans and did so in a personally and nationally-exciting and energizing manner

This is true and then he did what nearly every coach at K-State has done whenever they had their "pinnacle" season . . . didn't build it on it, and wanted even more money.   20-14 in conference play the next 2 years, finishing 3rd and 5th.   Oh, but he coached in an "exciting manner".

Once again, here's the list of "outstanding" recruits Frank compiled coming off his pinnacle season:

Juevol "Franked" Myles, Freddy "Franked" Asprilla, Shane "slightly above average" Southwell, Will "White Lightning" Spradling, Nino "kinda always lost" Williams, Adrian "but he's got upside!" Diaz, Thomas "pretty good" Gipson, Jeremy "Franked (or was it oscar'd) Jones, Omari "the flailer" Lawrence, Angel "ArT . . . the FP" Rodriquez,  James "Franken oscar'd" Watson.

So one truly legit high major stud, one serviceable mid to high major semi-stud, and then a bunch of guys who at best were low D1 or Washburn types.

Before I blow a gasket, I wnat to state I am excited Weber is our coach.  He is more like the great coaches of the past at KSU.  I think his upside value is far greater than Frank.  Frank was kept so Beasley and other Huggins recruits would stay.  There is work to be done yet this year that might get done since we have a coach who knows the college game instead of a dynamic hollerer and cusser. Weber has had to deal with transfers and injuries, and has done well.  I miss Angel more.

Which season would you choose?

1) Big12 co-champ, #4 seed, first round loss
2) Big12 runner up, #2 seed, elite 8, winning one if the greatest tourney games in a decade

Option 2 was several times more enjoyable and satisfying as a fan, so I would trade several of the Option 1 seasons to get it.  I can't imagine that I'm in the minority on this.

That elite 8's fumes have ran out. He was declining after that and losing the players that kept him relevant for getting hired. We hang big 12 championship banners, so I'll definitely take that. Frank hasn't done crap at USC and somehow ppl on here are still drooling over him. Get over it!

I'm sure a lot of dumbasses would agree with that.  The problem is just that it's a false ultimatum.  It is a completely contrived scenario with no possible application in Realville, where Rush and the rest of us live.  To illustrate the point, let me ask this question.  On balance, which of these two teams has a better chance of making a deep tornament run?

Team A - Won or shared the Big 12 conference title.  Beat as many or more conference teams than anyone else did in a true round robin format.

Team B - Did not win or share the Big 12 conference title.  Lost more conference games than one or more other teams did in a true round robin format.

So pretty much until 2009-10 is equaled or surpassed, for fans like me, it will be their favorite team in KSU hoops history. Frank was the coach. He was hilarious and pissed off other fans.

I'd love another coach to give us a 2010ish season, maybe even 2 of them.

That might be the saddest thing about all of this.  The best two years in 'modern' KSU BBall are downplayed from either side.  The ones who dislike Frank crap on the elite 8 run, and those who bemoan the hiring of oscar run down the league title.

Big XII Championship was fun for me because I started to think that oscar may not drive this thing into the ground. Now that it looks like we're completely crumbling, that season has lost some of its luster for me personally. I'm not going to trash that season, it was fun at the time, but I don't think it will be remembered nearly as fondly as the E8 run.

Yeah, its strange. I guess I'm one of the few that count the Elite 8 and the Big 12 title as the best 2 K-State basketball seasons I've experienced. To me K-State basketball has always been bigger than the coach whether I like him or not. I really liked Frank a lot and the brand he meant for K-State while he was here and it was a lot of fun, but he's never coming back. Granted, I'll pay more attention to what he does than some other SEC basketball coach, but I'm not going to care that much either way about his successes or failures.

Hating on oscar for what this team is doing now is warranted and deserved, but discounting a league title for your own school because you don't like the coach seems really dumb.
That might be the saddest thing about all of this.  The best two years in 'modern' KSU BBall are downplayed from either side.  The ones who dislike Frank crap on the elite 8 run, and those who bemoan the hiring of oscar run down the league title.



Yeah, its strange. I guess I'm one of the few that count the Elite 8 and the Big 12 title as the best 2 K-State basketball seasons I've experienced. To me K-State basketball has always been bigger than the coach whether I like him or not. I really liked Frank a lot and the brand he meant for K-State while he was here and it was a lot of fun, but he's never coming back. Granted, I'll pay more attention to what he does than some other SEC basketball coach, but I'm not going to care that much either way about his successes or failures.

I don't think we should downplay either of those two years, we should just understand them for what they are. The E8 run was the best year of Kansas State basketball since 1988 even though we may have not won the conf. title. Weber's conf. title year was awesome, but it was Frank's talent, which is why it is tough to swallow as we now experience the decline of the Weber controlled program.

We all know Frank is not coming back, but that is not the point. The point is that our AD mumped this up.

Frank's ceiling at KSU was higher than oscar's is. I just don't see how that can be argued any other way, at least if you have a decent understanding of what is necessary to win in Manhattan. Some of you are just damn fools and I've accepted that - obviously, _fan and chingon not included in this category.

Believe Franks class and oscar's class are very similar next year. People will eventually figure out how talent The Flush is. Both PF prospects are in the same realm of talent.

One thing about oscar's brand of basketball is that it tends to be boring.

At the end of the day I want underwood in 5 years. He will bring back the excitement. I think he could be the best of the three.

I'm sure Barry is great and everything but this conversation exists because the current great players on oscar's team don't seem to want to play/lead for their coach/team anymore. That's why this season is a dumpster fire. We have talented players who aren't operating anywhere near their potential. Frank gets love because he can at least coach someone up. If a coach can't do that, especially in the presence of talent, they need to stop effing the fanbase, be respectable and move on to something else in life.

We would need less tramitizing games like Florida on the road, he would need to understand how to develop talent that he didn't fall into, he would need to apologize, and need to take a major pay cut.

What were the leaks? His recruiting was improving.
His offensive schemes were struggling once Pullen left. He struggled in managing "his own players" at times. Also, Pullens last year was an embarrassment under his watch. He totally mismanaged that season. Also, he crumbled once Currie called him out on the Samuels issue. He pointed fingers, instead of taking acceptance. Totally against what he preached. He had to rely on Underwood to take over the offense. He had a lot of team issues in house and his recruits were underwhelming. We almost had moose for Christ sakes who is shameful for USC. He panicked and jumped ship cause times were getting tough and he thought his boss was a meany for playing by the rule book. :Ugh:

Where the eff do you guys come up with this crap?
Leticia Romero's statement about Angel puts Franks departure in a new light, it indicates the KSU AD isn't on the up and up when it comes to granting transfers to the atheletes it wants to keep. If Art or anyone else did want a transfer under Frank, Currie basically had to grant it on the grounds that Frank was/is a maniac. However, letting Frank go could give the athletic department much more leverage to retain good players on the grounds they "try it out" for at least a season. We know with certainty Shane and Will were gone if Frank stayed. If Art was ready to get out Frank's departure may very well have let Currie get one more year out of him.

I think anyone who believes Frank could have stayed at KSU more than one year max is being a bit naive, and again, if losing half the roster was the price it wouldn't have been worth it (for the record I love Frank). I don't like John Currie, but bringing in a new coach at that moment may have been the wisest possible decision and that's what he did. That said, as long as he's the guy hiring coaches I think we're screwed.

Forgive my language, but all of three of these posts are total bullshit. No one is discounting a Big 12 title and there isn't a defined line on this board of people who love Frank and hate oscar and will never accept him. There is nothing wrong with stating that you enjoyed the Elite 8 year better than the conference championship year. I mean the regular seasons  and Big 12 tournament were identical, but K-State didn't lose at home to ISU in '13 and Kansas didn't gag the last night of the '10 season. The lasting impression or each season was a run to the Elite 8 in '10 and what essentially was a home loss to Lasalle in '13. So if you're asking what people are going to prefer, of course they will trade a home win against McNeck's ISU team to all that came with the Elite 8 run. No one is giving back that Big 12 trophy but we all know what it was, right? Let's not pretend that was some awe-inspiring feat.

The only people drawing lines are wacky and dax, it happens time after time after time. We can't talk about the guy who was the most successful basketball coach in our basketball watching lifetimes here because two posters have been having a three year long temper tantrum.  Why won't you guys just call them out for being ass hats instead of pretending like the posters on this board fit on two sides of a line that exclude the two of you? I have literally yet to see the poster on here advocate for giving that Big 12 championship back. I'm guessing it would have been looked more favorably upon if we didn't lose the day we won it, KU didn't kick our asses three times, and we didn't have to rely on Baylor after everyone had given up hope.

Right before my post was this one, I just didn't quote it. It seems a lot like saying the league title was pretty worthless mostly because EMAWican doesn't like oscar.

It took a fluke loss (KU @WVU) for Weber to "earn" his Big XII Championship because he couldn't earn it with his coaching or by winning.

Also, I never said anyone should enjoy one over the other. I thought the Elite 8 was more fun than the league title as well, but winning the league even under the circumstances was fun because it hasn't happened in so long. The disappointing part of that season for me was getting La Salled.

I enjoyed the Big XII championship and wasn't critical of oscar that year until after La Salle. You're right that I don't like oscar at KSU FANman. After that year I realized how much of a losery way it was to win a Dr. Pepper, in my opinion. The Elite 8 run was tangible in that I could be a part of the games, and winning determined the end result. Yes, oscar's team was enjoyable to watch that year, but at the end it left a metallic taste in my mouth that we had to rely on another team to give us a Dr. P because we couldn't take it for ourselves. And co-champs with a team that we couldn't even beat once just makes that metallic taste progress into a stroke.

Right before my post was this one, I just didn't quote it. It seems a lot like saying the league title was pretty worthless mostly because EMAWican doesn't like oscar.

It took a fluke loss (KU @WVU) for Weber to "earn" his Big XII Championship because he couldn't earn it with his coaching or by winning.

Also, I never said anyone should enjoy one over the other. I thought the Elite 8 was more fun than the league title as well, but winning the league even under the circumstances was fun because it hasn't happened in so long. The disappointing part of that season for me was getting La Salled.

That championship was as asterisky as one can be, there's nothing wrong with pointing that out.

Oh come on.  What is this, amateur hour?  The Elite 8 year was tangible.  You can point to game(s) on the schedule and say "that made the season."  "I remember this game."  "I was there in Oklahoma City for the BYU game."  etc. 

What can you say about the Big XII title year? (no Googling allowed)  True, there were nice wins that year, but none memorable in conference.  Well, you know golly gee shucks almighty, we should've won, but thank the good Lord that KU lost so we won it.  I mean, crap, I point to the KU/Baylor game and say "that made the season."  "I remember this game."  Isn't that rough ridin' awful that's the one thing that sticks in my mind?

Hating on oscar for what this team is doing now is warranted and deserved, but discounting a league title for your own school because you don't like the coach seems really dumb.
That might be the saddest thing about all of this.  The best two years in 'modern' KSU BBall are downplayed from either side.  The ones who dislike Frank crap on the elite 8 run, and those who bemoan the hiring of oscar run down the league title.



Yeah, its strange. I guess I'm one of the few that count the Elite 8 and the Big 12 title as the best 2 K-State basketball seasons I've experienced. To me K-State basketball has always been bigger than the coach whether I like him or not. I really liked Frank a lot and the brand he meant for K-State while he was here and it was a lot of fun, but he's never coming back. Granted, I'll pay more attention to what he does than some other SEC basketball coach, but I'm not going to care that much either way about his successes or failures.

I don't think we should downplay either of those two years, we should just understand them for what they are. The E8 run was the best year of Kansas State basketball since 1988 even though we may have not won the conf. title. Weber's conf. title year was awesome, but it was Frank's talent, which is why it is tough to swallow as we now experience the decline of the Weber controlled program.

We all know Frank is not coming back, but that is not the point. The point is that our AD mumped this up.

Frank's ceiling at KSU was higher than oscar's is. I just don't see how that can be argued any other way, at least if you have a decent understanding of what is necessary to win in Manhattan. Some of you are just damn fools and I've accepted that - obviously, _fan and chingon not included in this category.
I really don't disagree with much of that. I think Frank deserves at least a portion of the blame for not being able to work with Currie though.

You're probably right about this, I am working with imperfect information, and Currie had no reason but to play his cards close to his vest.

Lord, this is sadly true.  The smart money is on Frank.  USC is clearly playing less crappity than KSU this year (not saying much).  Honestly, USC seems to have gotten it going now after a lousy start.  Plus Frank gets to play against all those other losery SEC teams while we get pounded by real teams in the Big 12.

Worst losses:
1. KSU v. Texas Southern
2. KSU @ Long Beach State
3. USC v. Akron (but not nearly as bad as our losses)

Best wins:
1. USC v. Oklahoma St.
2. KSU v. Texas A&M
3. USC v. Clemson
4. KSU losing to Arizona by 4

Seeing him all over the coverage again, talking about how he transformed South Carolina will hurt. I'm happy for him but seeing him with a Gamecocks lapel pin on sitting on the panel second weekend of the tourney sitting up there with Greg Gumbel, Doug Gottlieb, and Seth Davis won't feel great.

Yep, their defense had nothing to do with that at all. It's not like they were some offensive juggernaut. They need to finish around .500 in conference to get into the tournament and that won't be a problem. If it's too early to put them in the tournament you can say the same about ISU, there is very difference in the resumes, and they guard better than Iowa State does.

So he needs to go 11/16 against teams not named kentucky.  I forgot they lost back to back games against Charlotte and Akron.  Seems like a pretty tough road.

How do you figure? That's completely arbitrary.  You can list any other school and give some mile post they have to reach. I'm guessing a power 6 school hasn't missed tournament since expansion with a 19-9 record and 10-6 in conference, with a too 40 rpi and top 30 wins. 20 wins stopped being a measure for the committee a very long time ago.

Great point. While the coaching style may be different (tho Snyder has had plenty of Franks as assistants), the teams perform in a similar manner.

The SEC isn't that highly regarded as has been shown by the committee. They've had just one team finish the regular season ranked in the top 25 in each of the last two seasons. With Florida in the tank this season the league has lost its secondary marquee brand. There hasn't been a team with less than an 11-7/ .611 conference record make the tournament out of the SEC in the two seasons since they've went to the round robin schedule. Alabama made it in at 9-7 (.562) in 11-12. Three SEC teams — No. 1 Kentucky, No. 20 Vanderbilt and No. 25 Florida — finished the regular season ranked that year. There have been multiple instances of teams finishing 12-6 and missing the NCAA tournament out of the SEC in the last couple of years.

Edit: Perhaps the perception will be influenced by the league's strong performance in last season's NCAA tournament, but we won't find that out until later. The lack of SEC teams in the rankings this season says otherwise.

The recruiting at the end was pretty good, that last class would have been very good, he really only had one terrible class, the Nino & Spradling class. Also I loved our style and never thought it was sloppy. If we didn't have JO the pinch post would have made me a little sad. Everything else you mentioned about Frank sucked too.

I watched the end of last night's game. It reminded me of a lot of his disappointing home losses here (like to Oklahoma, Iowa State, Colorado, Baylor). They were down by 17 in the 2nd half, furious comeback, back to get it to one possession with the ball, someone launched a decent look at 3 for the tie. Missed and ended with a 4-17 night from behind the arc.

Frank's in his 3rd season at USCe, and he's still getting beat with regularity on his home floor and is already 0-1 vs oscar Pearl.

Not to mention, once again mired in a last place tie in the SEC.

There may be like 2 people like this.

My post was honest, I'm really surprised Frank isn't winning more at South Carolina. He's almost certainly not going to make the tournament again this year, because its going to be harder to get quality wins in the SEC. There is a good chance he could make the NIT which would be a start, but I was confident he'd have an NCAA appearance by his 3rd season even though he inherited a pretty bad program.

True, but it was a weird circumstance. I've never considered him to be "fired" in the traditional sense. There was no real proof of cheating and his teams were still winning, he just got into a personality/ego clash with the AD.

And I give him credit for what his teams accomplished. He had some nice players, but he established a culture of toughness and winning here.

frank's had a long-term, successful tenure at k-state?  you and i measure time differently.
one thing he did enjoy at k-state was a collection of the best players our university has ever put on the floor.

yeah, his recruiting has been at least as good if not better outside of Bill and Mike with the glaring exception of point guard.  His only season here w/o a very capable lead guard (or 2) was the year he Bill and Mike and even then Clent was a 4th year starting guard.

Frank might of had a shot to jump start the position with 4 star Villanova transfer Tyrone Johnson last year but he broke his foot in the 3rd game of the SEC season.  It does appear Frank's physical style was a better mismatch for a Big 12 full of teams that generally lack size vs SEC schools that seem to always have 6-8 to 6-10 bangers in abundance.

Well considering the average tenure of a coach in the Big 12 since it was founded is 5 years and 28 of the 52 coaches had tenures of 5 years or less years, I'm pretty comfortable with calling his 5 years here long-term success.

That guy is just plain crazy and doesn't deserve to be a coach. He may be a good coach but his type of attitude is just simply not needed. Even though he would probably not play again, and maybe get whipped, if I were Notice I would have told Martin how to penetrate himself! Notice was trying to play his heart out and even if he made a mistake he didn't deserve this crap from a thug (not a mentor).

Side note, but during the ISU/KU game, twice on camera Bill Self dropped the f-bomb clearly. He was hot about the lack of focus of a couple of the guys. The beginning of that timeout was on camera the whole time, and he was right in their faces. And a bit later he was very clear about telling the ref that his call was bs.

Pretty much the same as losing the leading scorer.
