Frank coming back would be so cool. He would have to hate Currie a lot, though. Like so much he comes back to KSU just to show he hates him.

are there reasons beside the desire to win that push you to support frank?  i mean, i guess his macho thing is cool and he seems fun.

but you're our stats guy, what am i missing?  oscar has proven that he is more than capable of winning more basketball games over a much longer period of time than your guy.  shine the light, _FAN.

I think Frank and K-State were a great fit. He's proven he can win here. I loved watching how his teams played.

I get the issues with his record at South Carolina and maybe he would come back here and repeat it, but I'm not sold that would be the case. It has taken him longer than I expected to build a tournament team there, but he's going this year.

Also, I think the chances of him actually coming back are very small.

5 years. 4 NCAAs. 1 NIT. An Elite 8. A tournament win every year. A top 3 defense in the league 4 of the 5 years. Won 60% of his Big 12 games and was never .500 or worse. .500 record on the road in Big 12 play. Won 45% of his games against the RPI Top 50.

I'm not ignoring the numbers but I guess you could saying I'm being selective and the data set is too narrow to make a proper decision.

Agree to disagree.

But Frank I know Frank isn't coming back. I just really enjoyed him coaching at K-State and I think he's still a very good coach.

Frank is a much better coach at K-State than oscar Weber.  Unless you have never seen either of them coach ever and you only look at regular season record.  That doesn't mean Frank is at the top of my list, but would take.

I'm sure the record at South Carolina is part of the implication on Frank, but he's gotten better every year there. It took longer than I thought, but he now has the #2 defense in college basketball and is poised for the future. He's about to have a run there like he did during his 5 years with us. Frank Martin is a very good college basketball coach.

He fits at a mid-major.  A place that he can compete for the conference and has no real aspirations in the tournament.  He would also be a good employee at a hardware store or something.

Maybe I value trajectory more than I should, but that is the difference maker to me.  When Frank took over at KSU, he quickly got the program back on the national stage and kept it there.  Yes, Huggins helped bring in some guys, but Frank was able to actually turn it into something.  Frank then took over a terrible (like last in conference I think) SC team that is now on the verge of going to the Tournament.  And of course we are now on the outside looking in after several years with oscar.

I was an early adopter, but mostly because of my age.  I've loved him since the fall of 1993.  Not sure about the learned to part.  That has nothing to do with how those outside of KSU felt.

Right but he had no likeable traits; he wasn't warm, funny, welcoming, happy, like nothing people find likeable, he just won. So yes, you can cheer for someone you don't like. Bill was CFB's version of Jim Calhoun or Jim Boeheim; an old, intractable, jerk.

Frank had a program that worked at a place like Kansas State. He is now implementing that program at a similarly situated school, South Carolina. The quantitative comparison between Frank and oscar is only 1 way of selecting who you prefer. At both of these schools you have to essentially turn three stars into a team that can compete with KU or Kentucky if you want to be relevant. To do that with three stars requires team solidarity, playing with a chip on your shoulder, and just generally being tougher than the more talented teams. And in the Big 12, there is more than KU to contend with in terms of talent deficit if you are K-State. It's arguably easier to do in the SEC. Which maybe is why some of us are surprised he hasn't turned it around quicker there -- but I'd like to emphasize how bad that So. Car. team was that he inherited. oscar inherited a much better situation in Manhattan.

This all leads me to my point, even if we assume that Frank and oscar teams were around the same on many quantitative metrics, what rough ridin' matters is winning games because of your overall toughness and intangibles. This simply isn't reflected in the stats. So, what your eyes show you still matter, especially when you consider that they're arguably equal statistically at KSU and consider some of the facts of recruiting life when you are trying to bring kids to Manhattan, Kansas.

i posted a more numeric version of this in some other thread a few days ago.  martin's teams, excluding his first two years at usc, are very consistent defensively.  his offensive numbers bounce around more and determine where the team falls on the scale from sorta good to really good.

Frank just hasn't been able to develop the offensive success at South Carolina, but this year he has an elite defense. Maybe Brad helped that much.

Would Wade transfer? I can't see those two getting along and it'd be Spradling all over again. Or maybe it would toughen him up.

whole team is a bunch of fp's theyd probably all quit

The team responds as it is coached.  I like our players, and think Frank would get the best out of them. 

Like!

5 years. 4 NCAAs. 1 NIT. An Elite 8. A tournament win every year. A top 3 defense in the league 4 of the 5 years. Won 60% of his Big 12 games and was never .500 or worse. .500 record on the road in Big 12 play. Won 45% of his games against the RPI Top 50.

selectively citing particular statistics to bolster your case isn't helping your case, it's only proving my point.
oscar has won a crap load more games over a crap load longer time than frank.  both's career stats are helped by inheriting a ton of talent from others.

i posted a more numeric version of this in some other thread a few days ago.  martin's teams, excluding his first two years at usc, are very consistent defensively.  his offensive numbers bounce around more and determine where the team falls on the scale from sorta good to really good.

it makes sense.  you can coach defense with or without superior athletes, it's a mindset.  there's only so much a coach can do on the other side of the ball.  i think, too, that frank takes advantage of the fact that his peers focus their time on offense
