This season was probably the worst coaching job in NCAA basketball history. Next year's team could probably have a winning record and a few quality wins and maybe make the tournament, despite being even worse than this year's team.
that would be amaze

Post by: steve dave on March 12, 2015, 08:49:39 AM
We’ll have to get a definition of what “suck” is first. We finished with a losing season, I would imagine we’ll be “better” next year – oscar has basically already stated that he’s going to find the suckiest schedule possible and play it.
I know my place. I'm a KState fan not a Duke fan. I want to make the NCAA and that will completely placate me as a loser KSU fan. I know that's sad and losery but it's true.

With that said, I'm firmly of the belief that Snyder could take over this group and get them to somewhere around 22-10 to 24-8 pre-tourney just by better knowing how to work with young people.

I feel like unless we have one or two recruits ready to immediately produce at PG we will be worse.
Also, will DJamer be the old DJamer, where he is only good for some back up mins? Will he be healed? Will he have developed even though he is has been in a boot?
Too many questions to legitimately say we will be better, imo. I feel like the odds are we will be about the same or worse. What we may gain in development(lol, right. development hasn't been oscar's strong suit) we lose in consistency with gip and nino.
Next year is going to be an ugly, bumpy, frustrating ride, imo.

Foster is a legit all league caliber player, but had a poor 2nd half of the season. Gip/Nino as HM all league types is about right, but that was their ceiling. Outside of those 2, the other guys just weren't there. Perhaps Johnson, Westicles, or even Edwards could develop to that point (I'm hopeful for it actually), but they weren't at that point this season, and I didn't expect them to be. I'm also hopeful that a couple of the new guys next year will be contributors to go with Foster along with someone else who returns getting much better. I'm also hoping for a healthy enough DJamer which I think could help a lot.

I'm not sure why most people think this year's team was really talented. The talent was certainly good enough to win more games, but not better than any Frank team. On par with Wooly's last few years probably (which had adequate talent IMO). And yes, any lack of talent is on oscar ultimately.

SO Jevon vs SO Clent vs JR Frank (you can compare different seasons for each player after you click the link)

Jevon simply isn't a good enough "distributing" PG to put up with his complete inability to score. If he was over 10 assists per 100 and cut down his TOs significantly you can probably live with no scoring, but he's got to get a lot better at that other "true PG" stuff.

At this point, I wouldn't be shocked if Wade starts at the 4 next year by mid-season over Harris. It will be GREAT PR for oscar.
To be 100% honest, if Jevon transfers and we get DJamer back (healthy), I think we'll be a bubble team. The recruits don't look like they suck, but that's all a crapshoot for us, anyway.

Our point guard play is rough ridin' horrific most nights, unless one of the freshman can jump up and take that position, then we'll be bad again next year. You really can't win without an adequate point guard. Especially not when you're already trying to overcome oscar and the supreme weirdness of his program.
Not having anyone with an A:TO ratio better than 2:1 is really bad.

Not having anyone with an A:TO ratio better than 2:1 is really bad.
This brings up a really good point that maybe you've weighed in on, but I've been in and out the last few weeks, so I may have missed it.
It seems like in the last 5-6 games, Johnson was a much more adequate point guard as the season progressed. I say adequate, because he appeared to be much better off of the ball, but his A/TO ratio per 100 did go up a tick.
Do we think he can ever be a PG in the sense that if we treat him as a combo guard paired with Foster, he can do what needs to be done?
I don't pay near as much attention to the rotations as I should during games, mainly because I watch them while looking after my kids, but it feels like if we have Johnson/Foster/Westicles out there, we have some potential for balance on the perimeter on paper, but when they're in the game, it doesn't seem like it equates to points.
As long as Marcus is here, we're going to ultimately find ways to get him on the court as long as he's shooting alright. But there seems to be a night and day difference between Nigel when he plays on the ball and off of the ball, and I wonder if we're just better off getting a JUCO PG and letting him transfer or do whatever.
Post by: catzacker on March 12, 2015, 11:25:21 AM
We have enough talent to not finish with a below .500 record – and we allegedly had a coach who, if he could just recruit the players HE wanted and not those that everyone else wanted him to recruit, wouldn’t have these types of years.
I mean, Jevon is responsible for not sucking – but oscar is responsible for sucky Jevon being out there or not getting someone better to be out there instead. It’s fair to criticize both, however ultimate responsibility falls entirely on oscar.

"Really talented" may be a stretch, but I see it as such:
Foster - potential to be the best player in the conference as evidenced by his FR season. When he gets lazy, he's not so good.
Westicles - Showed flashes of being a really special kid this year and was a very pleasant surprise as a freshman. Had high hopes for him this season until he caught the lazy bug from (I assume) Foster.
Johnson - Very servicable point guard that does something many don't... score with consistency.
M. Harris - Not sure what we've really got here because he hasn't been pushed to improve yet.
We really need another athletic big or two and DJamer could be that if he comes back as he was before.
My main point is, again, this team would've looked infinitely more talented with the scrappiness and work ethic of Frank's teams.
Add in Gip and Nino and there was certainly enough "talent" to be top 3/4 in this conference with the proper work ethic/focus.

Nigel is a terrible back up QB syndrome. He has games were he only plays 8 minutes because he is so terrible. He doesn't penetrate. Does get some straight line drives where he is looking to score. He has great games when he shoots well and gets out in transition. His best ability is his scoring. He is a 2 guard.
Jevon just needs to calm the eff down. Get his head on more straight and improve his shooting one more step and he will be fine. He can be a serviceable pg. Hopefully Deathbite size does hurt him too much, Kid can really shoot. But is a lead guard.
Our guard play yesterday was a dumpster fire, the three guys you expect to score, Marcus, Edwards and Nigel combined made one fg.

It's mind blowing that no one can ask him that question: why is it that the guys that won't buy in are "your guys". All we heard about for his first two years or whatever was how, at KSU, oscar would be able to recruit the players he wanted, rather than the ones that people wanted him to recruit (as was the case at Illinois, according to oscar).

You would think ole oscar would be wary of and know how to spot these lazy/bad attitude players. I mean they cost him his job at Illinois.
Maybe he just has the worst luck when it comes to getting tricked by these kids you know? It's not his fault he is so trusting.
It's mind blowing that no one can ask him that question: why is it that the guys that won't buy in are "your guys". All we heard about for his first two years or whatever was how, at KSU, oscar would be able to recruit the players he wanted, rather than the ones that people wanted him to recruit (as was the case at Illinois, according to oscar).
No sports reporter in the heartland has the balls to ask a question like that, nor do any probably remember that he used that excuse in the first place. Our local sports journalists are lazy and timid.

Yes, this is the question that needs to be asked. He said himself part of his failure at Illinois was recruiting the wrong kids, failing to coach toughness, and coaching "not to lose". Does he feel this is happening with this team and if not what is different? This doesn't seem hard.

I can't see this team under this coach establishing the toughness it takes to improve much. They are much better at home because the crowd can bring some of the intensity/energy but if they can't bring any fire themselves then they have a hard ceiling.
If we lose a couple early ones to shitty teams like we did last year, I have the feeling that our home court advantage won't be as pronounced as it has been.

That responsibility falls on Weber. Unlike previous seasons, when K-State’s roster has been limited on size and depth, Weber has more talent than he knows what to do with right now. Should he start Nigel Johnson or Jevon Thomas at point guard? Should he split Foster between point guard and shooting guard? Should he bring Edwards off the bench? Should he go small with Westicles, Williams and Gipson? Or should he go big with Brandon Bolden and Hurt?

“I call him Dirk the Hurt,” forward Brandon Bolden said. “Dirk Nowitzki is his favorite player, and he likes to shoot a lot. He can really shoot the ball. He can post, too. He has good moves, good footwork. He is not as athletic, so he relies more on his footwork and shooting the ball than most power forwards. But he can do it all.”

Given that Hurt is the most out of shape Cat bball player I can remember watching in my 25 years of fandom, I'm really curious how he would have looked playing 40 lbs heavier, as reported in the article. I'd also really like to know his verticle if anyone can find it.

Hurt gained weight during the season. Bolden saying Hurt plays like a european big isn't far off, he just was't as effective as he could have been, if Jimmy Price was a quality individual.

"European Big" = terrified of contact, no vertical, unwilling defender, out of shape, occasionally successful jump shooter, shitty rebounder (and don't get in my face with those per 100s _Fan, he SUCKS at rebounding).

With the possibility of 3 players coming in at 6'8" or better AND the return of 6'9" DJamer, I am once again optimistic. Also a new point guard @ 6'2". Man, we are going to have some trees down low. Yes, I know some trees are known as "ornamentals", a.k.a. Big Meat, but I can dream. If we return to seasons with more than 20 wins and NCAA bids, I could learn to live with oscar.

Who's excited to get rid of Gip? He was the hardest working man on this year's team, a true Wildcat. I didn't see anyone on the current roster with his low post skill. At 6'7"* he was amazing. Is DJamer getting his minutes, who said that?
*My guess is he's 6'7" but for his true height you would need a ruling from EMAWzafried. Looks like he is the tallness moderator on the board.

Returning starters also make everyone better around them better upon their reinsertion per noted dossiehawk, Mr. P. Clams. So that's a factor many of you hoopheads aren't taking into account. He is very much a rising tide that's going to lift some catboats come fall.

Central Kansas starts at Junction and goes to Russell. North central stats at Salina. In pioneer days, in eastern KS you could find leaves to use after a wild land crap, central KS you used grass, out west you used tumbleweeds or cocklebur bushes. This is why they are so tough.

especially on a team with only one shooter. But oscar was too stupid to play him anyway, so whatever.

I remember 10 years ago when they did pretty much break every story. Good beat writers like JMart and social media changed things a lot, but Fitz and co. just don't seem to go after it like they used to. Part of it was probably losing some relationships with sources as well.

I don't think they gain much from working to get breaking news, either. It's basically impossible to beat Goodman on basketball related news, and no news comes from the football program ever. People go to their site for their KSU centric perspective, not scoops

That, and I've heard guys like Janssen could basically waltz into the coaches' offices and practice any time they wanted to. I'm guessing players were pretty much open season as well.

Next year? A big pile of purple horseshit unless Weber can get some more recruits like Barry and Wade. Get rid of Lowery and get an assistance with winning DNA instead of a MVC failure. I hope we don't decline lower. I feel like we have been pushed into a pit of lions with meat tied on us - we might get out, but I am not sure as these KSU coaches would tie weights to our shoes. I hope oscar didn't rupture a family jewel brucing the hell out of Marcus' Willie hole.

"So our coach used @swagg2_ all the way up till the end and then he was kicked off? Something's not adding up here. #Kstate"

could be, it depends on how the NCAA interprets the dismissalThe Foster dismissal is still shocking. The fact that Tre is dismissed and Jevon is given an attaboy on the way out considering Tre had never been suspended and Jevon had was weird.oscar and currie are trying to do the right thing. this way, those two are eligible immediately b/c of being run off. boss move.
Is this true?
They just eliminated that rule, no immediate eligibility. Thank Mizzou and OU.

In my mind's eye, oscar dismissed jevon too but they had to change it to a transfer so that jevon would release oscar's neck.

I would like to pin this thread and bring it up next year. There will be some guys with tiny brains and lots of hate eating some crow and I for one would like to remind them of all the hate they spewed at this time. This is the exact kind of tripe that was spewed on the goEMAW site when Bill was hired back. Weber is doing the only thing he could possibly do as a head coach. He has to get rid of the cancer if he wants to move forward. His team will be all in next year and will be much better than this year. If you haters hold Gip and Nino up as true K-Staters and honest men then why won't you listen to what they are saying. They have told you in so many words what the problem was this year and you aren't listening. Marcus and Tre broke team rules. What else needs to be said. The people that work for me would have been treated the same way had they broke rules at work. Get your minds right boys and support your team and school.

i like that he credits the scoop to "twitter" rather than the reporter that tweeted it.
this is my favorite part as well. as if Goodman was just some guy walking on the street that bumped into Tre and Jevon in the parking lot..."hey, what's up guys? what? really? I can't believe that...hello twitter..."

Fitz: We should say that Jeff Goodaman - who is he with now? ESPN? - he's so awkward on the set, doesn't he always look like he just left the dentist? Ah, he's reporting through sources which would probably mean the K-State coaches because who else would know, um, that 2 players are leaving the program.

I wasn't suggesting that you should. I'm just saying that there are different levels of bad, and it will take a special level for oscar to be fired next year. Also, it's definitely a possibility that he gets fired next year, regardless of Chingon's incredible meltdown. Quite a few more tucks turned on oscar after this year than I thought possible. He bought himself a little leeway with them by kicking Foster off the team (which was most likely a decision by JC, but I'm sure oscar will take credit for it if he can get some goodwill out of the deal), but even most tucks don't want to go back to the Wooly days.

The idea that the AD is "happier than ever"(-stan) makes me even more angry than the fact that we are kicking marcus out.
I think he's lying to try and calm the fanbase down. Stan loves oscar, he was openly campaigning for him on radio after the TCU loss. oscar is a giant dork just like Stan, and I think Stan has become WAY too emotionally invested. What Stan says at this point doesn't concern me. John Currie won't let basketball become a financial drain. It's not in his nature.

Stan loves oscar, he was openly campaigning for him on radio after the TCU loss. oscar is a giant dork just like Stan, and I think Stan has become WAY too emotionally invested. What Stan says at this point doesn't concern me. John Currie won't let basketball become a financial drain. It's not in his nature.
I agree with all of this.

I don't think it's the company line though. John Currie isn't some evil villain trying to make our lives miserable (although it's the end result regardless of intent). He's surely not very happy about this past year, and I certainly haven't heard him go out of his way in public to make sure oscar knows that his job is totally safe. In fact, I bet they've had some very uncomfortable conversations since the season ended.

Yeah, I don't think he's purposely trying to salvage the program. Clearly, he had a different point of view when hiring Weber. For whatever reason I truly believe he thought it was a good hire and that Weber would be successful here. But I also think that if things go south he won't be afraid to Patterson Weber if he needs to.

um, the company line is that oscar is safe, and that everything is fine. the things that stan has said. currie isn't going to acknowledge any cracks in his decision to hire weber.
of course he isn't trying to purposely sink the program. maybe you guys just don't understand the term.

Since day 1 of oscar Weber I never wished for the program to fail. I wished to be wrong, for goEMAW to be wrong, about Weber, even though I knew goEMAW is rarely wrong. For this upcoming season I can't help but think of a better thing that could happen than for us to do poorly enough for oscar to get fired.The trouble is (and I know I am being a goddamn repeating mp3 here) that there is no "poor enough" for oscar to get fired next year.

Yep. Unless he somehow manages not to win a single game next season, oscar is sticking around.
At this point the debate is over whether it's better to suffer through 4-5 more years plus of oscar mediocrity and have the next coach have at least some pieces to work with at a moribund program or biting the bullet and leaving the next coach nothing but ashes to work with in 2-3 years after oscar implodes.
Post by: kso_FAN on March 25, 2015, 02:54:08 PM
Whoever mentioned money before is probably right. Once rev drops below a certain level, that will probably be the only time Currie will allow his ego to take a hit and admit that he made a bad hire.
Clearly, its his MO. He's good at it. He won't let basketball fall to the point where we have multiple seasons with 6K fans.

I know people are cynical of Currie, but he's playing a good boss game here. He put the responsibility on oscar to be consistent. When it reaches the point for firing, then there is nothing to fall back on to say this was Currie's deal, this will be oscar's failure alone. Currie knows what he's doing here. IMO.

I can't believe that...hello twitter..."QuoteFitz: We should say that Jeff Goodaman - who is he with now? ESPN? - he's so awkward on the set, doesn't he always look like he just left the dentist? Ah, he's reporting through sources which would probably mean the K-State coaches because who else would know, um, that 2 players are leaving the program.

Right, but Currie could have absolutely dismissed those players or oscar did it with his permission; that doesn't mean that Currie isn't holding oscar responsible for what the players he recruited did or didn't do. We can go round and round on whether Currie will either make excuses for oscar or hold him directly responsible, the fact is we're all guessing we have no basis to know whether he is too stubborn to see his mistakes or not. He's outright fired one coach and that situation was nothing like this one is although I will point out that Deb was the very first coach Currie gave an extension to.

but now ... the team is coming off a sub-.500 season. the best players aren't returning. the fan base doesn't like the coach. with the roster that returns, oddsmakers will likely list k-state as the second-worst big 12 team, and possibly the worst. that means a second straight non-ncaa tourney season, and a fan base that will likely stop supporting him entering the 2016-17 season (after what'll surely be a low attendance season next year).
firing oscar would mean buying him out, which comes at a cost. but if keeping oscar results in declining fan support, fewer ticket sales, less national exposure, etc., then it's easy to justify the price tag that comes with it. again, as others have said: if it's inevitable, you might as well just make it immediate. firing oscar is a +EV move in the long run, based on the info we have in front of us.
i know people hate currie, but he's done a lot of good for k-state, certainly with the facilities upgrades and fundraising. the athletic department is in much better shape now than it was prior to when he took over.
if he fired oscar tomorrow, the talking point wouldn't be, "currie screwed up by hiring oscar!"
more likely, he would be celebrated, and i think he'd win over the remaining doubters he currently has.

it was never a good hire. Firing weber would not immediately gain him favor with his detractors.
i highly doubt any other coach would have won (shared) a big 12 title, the first in program history. anything is possible, but i'd make any other coach currie could have hired (gottlieb, underwood, etc.) a big underdog to have accomplished the same feat under the same circumstances. again, oscar's three-year run on the whole was more positive than negative, and exceeded the expectations that most had for him.

it's too bad that currie thinks firing oscar would be admitting a mistake. i'd actually argue that currie made a good hire (oscar's 32-22 big 12 record, two ncaa tourney appearances and a league title was a decent three-year run by any objective measure, and i doubt hypothetical coach X would have done better).
but now ... the team is coming off a sub-.500 season. the best players aren't returning. the fan base doesn't like the coach. with the roster that returns, oddsmakers will likely list k-state as the second-worst big 12 team, and possibly the worst. that means a second straight non-ncaa tourney season, and a fan base that will likely stop supporting him entering the 2016-17 season (after what'll surely be a low attendance season next year).

Unless they've got a sure winner, or solid list of real possibilities, waiting in the wings it makes as much sense to let this thing burn to the ground next season. You get another year to evaluate network the coaching pool, and you squash any potential hire's fears of a quick hook.
As for what the athletic department or their employees are saying aka Stan, none of that really matters. Even if it is basically a lame-duck situation they're not going to say that publicly and that's just fine.
Your points about fan support and apathy heading into 16-17 are absolutely valid regardless. It's just a matter of weighing everything together. I'd rather they tank next season if it means a better shot at a winner next April than space Weber now only to hire a SLTH.

SFA had never landed a three star recruit before Brad Underwood got there. He has clearly elevated the recruiting of an already good program.Oh, good grief. His recruiting has had no results in the last two years. He can coach tho! Ftr, sys never liked foster, so do with what you will.
Are you on rough ridin' drugs? His recruits accounted for about 2/3 of their scoring this year.

Why? Because like most coaches, Underwood doesn't prove the his past failures in that regard are a thing of the past.
Post by: MakeItRain on March 26, 2015, 12:10:51 AM
He's been the coach the last two years, dumbass. He's recruited none of his scoring.

If oscar doesn't mix up his strategy or coaching he should be out. If he goes balls to the wall with a new strategy I'm going to be intrigued.

what is stopping kstate from hiring a great offensive mind as a head coach? or a good player manager? or recruiter? or any other individual quality that the combined efforts of oscar and his staff don't have?

There will be lots of tucks claiming we are decent next year when we finish eighth. There will be lots of talk about the officials, almost being involved in a three way tie for sixth place, moral victories, adversity (mostly injuries). Then oscar Weber will get another year. I'm making myself sad typing this all out.
someone should go ahead and mock up the breakdown of games that we only lost by 3 or 4 points and what our record would be if that ball had just bounced our way. then throw in the games where some of our roster was injured or suspended. could have been over .500 if we just hadn't been so darn unlucky.

My game-worn #StrutNCut jersey that metalhead won is better quality.I was thinking that my game worn tank that I wore when we won the all campus 'ship was much nicer. But then I remembered that we were sponsored by Lowman's, so KSU athletic department never had a chance.

That's accurate: the promotions budget is set each fiscal year, as is every other budget item. It doesn't change based on how ticket sales go. So, you are correct, it has no impact.

I didn't see any excuse making in this story, only hard-nosed determination to not repeat the mistakes of last season and a return to the culture of the previous two seasons. These new players get it. No short-cuts, no egos, no NBAitis, no pot, no breaking of team rules, no laziness, no skipping practice, no division in the locker room, no standing around in the "motion" offense. No BULLSHIT!
Will this team win a bunch of games? Who knows. But I betya after a season of playing together with a renewed vigor, this team will be a bitch at some point in the future.

BBS HERO!!!!!QuoteI love this! The cancer is gone. We have a new lease on life. I'm glad we have those in the program who are now willing to speak out and provide context. I'm pumped. All I expect or want is effort along with a good attitude. The rest will take care of itself.QuoteYou could tell by the promotional video that the boys want those who would support them to do so. They aim to unite as a family and prove doubters that they are winners. With that mentality they will succeed. "And to heck with THOSE doubters!" Go CatsQuoteI couldn't be more excited for next year. These guys seem like they get it. Time will tell.QuoteI didn't see any excuse making in this story, only hard-nosed determination to not repeat the mistakes of last season and a return to the culture of the previous two seasons. These new players get it. No short-cuts, no egos, no NBAitis, no pot, no breaking of team rules, no laziness, no skipping practice, no division in the locker room, no standing around in the "motion" offense. No BULLSHIT!
Will this team win a bunch of games? Who knows. But I betya after a season of playing together with a renewed vigor, this team will be a bitch at some point in the future.

Trending down
oscar Weber has dismissed every player who has ever played at Kansas State. Michael Beasley? Done. Bill Walker? Outta here. Mitch Richmond? Gone. Kidding. But he entered the offseason with just five returning scholarship players after losing six guys, including Marcus Foster and Malek Harris, over the past year. Foster and Harris were both dismissed. Weber has seven commitments for next season. That pool features some juco guys and zero top-100 incoming freshmen. It’s a mess in Manhattan.

I understand and appreciate that perspective. I've just been attending since I could afford to have tickets. And anyone who knows me knows that I have a really competitive spirit, so I hate seeing what happened last year. I'm not a grad of KSU, but have been a fan since childhood. Some consider us less than true fans, but that's for another thread another time.And I'd like the whole place to have reasons to get crazy again.

Every game is a break for me from the usual stresses that everyone faces. If I can spend a few bucks and a few hours with friends at the brams, I take advantage of it.
Again, I understand your perspective. I just have my approach to it.

I think one could go to every game this year getting tickets game-by-game for a total of under $100.I tried that last year to get extra tickets for a friend of mine. It cost me almost $800 total for individual tickets to the games I did that. I'd rather pay for an extra season ticket than do that ever again.

Last year we had the piss poorest guards in the Big 12 who couldn't pass worth a dang and motion to them was just drive to the hoop. We had no height. Big was made too fat by Twocoaches. An our star Marcus was a fat loafing pothead. Claws, Bullnuts, xWhomper, and DJamer bring needed height and even Big Meatoops skinnier. Brown will make us forget weedman.

There are no available seats (at least not two seats) in sections 16, 17, 18 available in front of my row. I guess there are folks still buying tickets for this season.
