he needs to get one of those dry erase board things that you draw plays on. it looks almost like a clip board but you can draw in it, erase it, then draw again. a lot of times you will have an X for your guys and you draw arrows where you want your guys to run on the court. some of them even have a little court on them so you know exactly where on the court the drawings occur. my high school coaches had them. we used a purple marker because that was my schools main color. worked pretty well. thoughts?

He has one of those. He is always frantically drawing x's on it with about 2 seconds left until the timeout is over, and then he erases all of the marks with his hands.

I'm confident LHC Bill Snyder, knowing nothing about basketball, could coach up this team better than oscar.

I mean, at least he would hold our players accountable.

Bad pass? Sit your ass on the bench.
Decided you didn't want to run back on defense? Sit your ass on the bench.
Didn't want to get dirty on the floor for a loose ball? Sit your ass on the bench.
Taking a shot you can't even make in practice? Sit your ass on the bench.
Smiling when you're down by 9 points. Sit your ass on the bench.

Our player development has appears just fine our recruiting appears just fine. oscar IS JUST A SLOW rough ridin' COACH. We look like crap early every year then it finally gets rolling in December. This year is specially frustrating because our defense has never looked this bad. Westicles can't stop the rough ridin' ball and we are clueless on ball screens. Hurt also needs to protect the rough ridin' paint.

No. But I would gladly take steve henson at this point. Brad would be a homerun. If oscar is losing the team they literally just need someone there besides him. There is a reasonable amount of talent to work with, too. The effed up thing is if what I think is happening is really happening staying on one more year will knock the program back into pre huggins. The 2012 conference title was not worth it.

Wildly optimistic that two bad seasons would unseat oscar. No, it's going to be slower and more painful than that. He'll probably halfass salvage a season along the way, giving him another couple of years. Just like Illinois.

That would be Stage 5 of Weberball

The Multiple Stages a Fan Will Go Through During a oscar Weber Era

Stage 1. DISAPPOINTMENT

This generally occurs at the moment the news of his hiring is released to the media by the schools Athletic Department. There will be a lot of disappointment for the fan base during the Weber Era. However, disappointment at this stage is more attributed to finding out that your school was unable to land any one else and had to settle for oscar.

Stage 2. ACCEPTANCE

After hearing all of the pumping by the local media, AD, etc. that this is a great hire, a Weber team fan base will eventually accept him as their coach. Acceptance at this stage still comes with a level of uncertainty, but the fan base is generally willing to give the guy a chance based on his experience.

Stage 3. EXCITEMENT

The fan base will soon realize that oscar Weber has an uncanny ability to win games and achieve a high level of success in his first couple of seasons at the new program. This guy is fantastic at coaching other coaches players.  At this stage, those fans who may have been unsure of the hire become bandwagon oscar fans. All is good with the program and everyone is happy. There is likely some big wins during this stage, including conference championships and deep runs in the NCAA Tournament.  This stage (for the majority of the fan base) generally peaks out after year 2.

Stage 4.  CONCERN

It is typically in Year 3 where serious concern begins to occur within the fan base of a Weber coached team. Significant changes begin to occur with the team internally. Transfers of key players, low ranking recruiting classes, poor behavior by players outside of the program, embarrassing losses to lower level teams, etc. This stage can last up to 3 years, with many fans still holding on to hope based on oscar's early success and the fact that he runs a clean program. However, a large faction of the fan base begins to change their opinion of oscar Weber due to all of the negative signs of a declining program. This is where a serious divide occurs within the fan base (See- WFF {Weber First Fans} vs Weber Haters) which results movement to Stage 5.

Stage 5.  APATHY

This stage is the result of continuous heartbreak for the fan base. Poor recruiting, continual "bubble" situations each year in March (See "Why do they call oscar Weber "Bubbles"?") This can start at different times for different fans. For realist fans, this typically starts in year 4 or 5. During this stage, there will be significant attendance issues for home games.  A lot of fans will actually forget that there was even a game until the next day when they happen to hear the score on the radio driving to work. This is a sad time for fans. You begin to question your loyalty to the school you love. The administration begins to take a lot of heat for allowing the unsatisfactory results to continue. The divide between the fan base gets even stronger. The message boards become a voice for the frustrated fans to express their anger. The WFF population begins to get quiet, as the results no longer support their meme.

Stage 6. HAPPINESS

Luckily, AD's typically change every 6-8 years. It is this change that will prompt the change of the Head Basketball coach, bringing joy back to the hearts of the fan base. The day it is announced that oscar Weber is no longer your head basketball coach is one of the best days of your life. It is one of those events where you will always remember where you were when you heard the news.

His offense sucks balls.  Terrible shot selection/generation.  That said, he recruits well and he "coaches" very good defense.  I do not hate him yet. 

I still hold out hope that his recruiting is going to continue to improve (five stars!).  oscar left him with a shitty, mentally weak squad.  He didn't step into a good situation and then eff it up.  He's rebuilding and they appear to be better this year than they were his first or second.  Progress perhaps.

I give every coach the benefit of the doubt until they prove otherwise.   oscar had two pretty good first seasons at K-State with the only real disappointment being the opening round NCAA loss two years ago.

But, I've seen enough and so until further notice:  FUBW

Step away from the ledge, my friends. This team will make the NCAA tournament when it's all said and done (6-10 seed range). They're just figuring out how to play as a complete unit, and trying to focus on defense more than anything.

I am w zacker.  Our line up is jevon, foster, gip  wes, and nino.  Literally our line up at the end if last yr.  Edwards and bolden have been at ksu almost as long as I was at this point.  There was a small number of players that needed to be incorporated into a couple yr old system.

If our defense is, and has been, the focus, as you mentioned,  that makes what we are seeing even worse.

Our rotations are crap. Will experience help with this. Also Shane was a really good defender, I don't understand how people didn't  know this. Our defense will come, but it is coming to slow. That is on the coaching staff.

We are a terribly coached team right now. We have good pieces. We have exciting pieces for the future.

Stage 3. EXCITEMENT

The fan base will soon realize that oscar Weber has an uncanny ability to win games and achieve a high level of success in his first couple of seasons at the new program. This guy is fantastic at coaching other coaches players.  At this stage, those fans who may have been unsure of the hire become bandwagon oscar fans. All is good with the program and everyone is happy. There is likely some big wins during this stage, including conference championships and deep runs in the NCAA Tournament.  This stage (for the majority of the fan base) generally peaks out after year 2.

Stage 4.  CONCERN

It is typically in Year 3 where serious concern begins to occur within the fan base of a Weber coached team. Significant changes begin to occur with the team internally. Transfers of key players, low ranking recruiting classes, poor behavior by players outside of the program, embarrassing losses to lower level teams, etc. This stage can last up to 3 years, with many fans still holding on to hope based on oscar's early success and the fact that he runs a clean program. However, a large faction of the fan base begins to change their opinion of oscar Weber due to all of the negative signs of a declining program. This is where a serious divide occurs within the fan base (See- WFF {Weber First Fans} vs Weber Haters) which results movement to Stage 5.

Stage 5.  APATHY

This stage is the result of continuous heartbreak for the fan base. Poor recruiting, continual "bubble" situations each year in March (See "Why do they call oscar Weber "Bubbles"?") This can start at different times for different fans. For realist fans, this typically starts in year 4 or 5. During this stage, there will be significant attendance issues for home games.  A lot of fans will actually forget that there was even a game until the next day when they happen to hear the score on the radio driving to work. This is a sad time for fans. You begin to question your loyalty to the school you love. The administration begins to take a lot of heat for allowing the unsatisfactory results to continue. The divide between the fan base gets even stronger. The message boards become a voice for the frustrated fans to express their anger. The WFF population begins to get quiet, as the results no longer support their meme.

Stage 6. HAPPINESS

Luckily, AD's typically change every 6-8 years. It is this change that will prompt the change of the Head Basketball coach, bringing joy back to the hearts of the fan base. The day it is announced that oscar Weber is no longer your head basketball coach is one of the best days of your life. It is one of those events where you will always remember where you were when you heard the news.

Take. Him. Back.

ahh memories

Illinois coach oscar Weber is back at it. He again criticized his predecessor, Bill Self, in a story Wednesday that focused on Illini guard Dee Brown in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, "Bill was (the player's) buddy. He told them how good they were," Weber said. "The first thing I said to Dee was, 'Dee, you can't make a left-handed layup and your pull-up jumper is awful and you tell me you want to play in the NBA. I'm trying to help you, but somebody screwed you up and didn't make you do those things.' Dee didn't know how to deal with that

Maybe if all the emaw browns weren't interacting with them and enticing them to stay I could help.  They think they belong.  It's confusing for them.

I just wanna go on record for saying I've always totally understood the hate for this guy. He will eventually burn this crap in the ground, but man, what a ride it's been. You can't overlook the conference title and the 2 KU wins, but he's definitely a dunce and this season was unnessary. However, it's been entertaining to watch. My emotions have never been this unorthodox.

We're fine, he gave us two conference championships and an elite eight. A decade at one school is a great run.

I have two questions. How has Illinois been since he left? A decade later why do you all still care?

The Illinois fan thing was weird in 2012, I mean the dude got fired ffs, he didn't quit. A decade later some of these guys are still acting like OU football fans are right now. It's the strangest crap.

It's definitely weird. They were quiet as eff when oscar broke the streak on their other good ole boy. Their University has sucked in the sport for about 4/5 the time oscar has been here. New $ fans, SMGDH.
