I only caught the last 5 or so minutes of Currie on KMAN. While not naming the basketball team explicitly, he made it clear that K-State teams will struggle from time to time due to having 2 P5 schools in the state, transfers, and injuries. There are highs and lows like the stock market.
Didn't sound like anything can be done. Got stuck with bad hand being a P5, stuck with these transfer rules, and having the one injury this season. Long live oscar

Who was the transfer that impacted us?

Frank

Why does the other P5 in the state not have lows in bball? Weird.

oscar and currie are melding into one entity.

oscar will be here next year and could lock up an extension. For the time being I'll still be BBB though.

The 9YearPlan.

Those would be great excuses . . . In 1992

The 5 and 8 rule bought Wooly at least 1 extra year, probably 2.

I loved it when Dave made some crack about the Jayhawks and Currie got totally awkward about it. Even made me uncomfortable in my car. :driving:

He always called it the 8 and 5 rule, too. He talked about it so much in interviews that this still sticks with me.

My brain hurts from trying to ascertain the logic in his explanation, but give him credit for trying...

@KellisRobinett There can be only one question: Why is oscar Weber surviving a 4 year downward trajectory but Deb Patterson did not?
Short answer: John Currie hired oscar Weber and wants to give him every possible opportunity to succeed. Whereas Currie didn’t hire Deb Patterson, their working relationship wasn’t all that friendly and he had little interest in giving her another year to turn things around.
Long answer: No two situations are the same. oscar Weber has been more productive in his four seasons at K-State than Patterson was during her final four. Weber’s records are 27-8, 20-13, 15-17 and 16-14 with a Big 12 championship and two NCAA Tournaments. Patterson’s records were 21-11, 20-14, 19-18 and 11-19 with two NCAA Tournaments, but never challenged for a league title. That’s 78-52 with a conference title and an improved record in Year 4 vs. 71-62 with 11 wins in Year 4. Similar, but not identical. And Weber could still boost his record this season.
One could make a case for or against both coaches in both situations.
Currie spoke about the trajectory of the women’s program when he fired Patterson. Even though she was the most successful coach in program history, she hadn’t won a conference championship since 2008 and she never had much success in the NCAA Tournament. In his mind, the K-State women were never going to be great again under Patterson. K-State also pays Jeff Mittie significantly less than it paid Patterson, so there was some cost-saving strategy involved, too.
He views Weber and the men’s team differently.
I certainly understand why others don’t share that opinion, but Currie thinks Weber can win big again. Maybe even next year.

19-18 is a remarkable record. I can't imagine many teams have ever done that, men or women.
-
Deb should have been crap canned after the church stuff. That aside the trajectory system for WBB is so much more different than MBBs it's impossible to look at Ws and Ls. I would actually argue, and I don't like Deb, her results were far better than oscar.

Currie makes a great case for firing his sorry ass.
