He needs 10 more wins this year to move into 4th place all-time for wins at K-State ahead of Frank Martin. :driving:
I say he get's win #118 at home against KU on Big Monday. :bball:
*edited* 4th place all time. But still a great achievement!
-
Gonna get the court named after him.

This is the thread I have been waiting for. Let the crap fly boys and girls

Why settle for 4th when 1st is available? (probably a oscar motto)
We know oscar is here for the foreseeable future. No reason he can't sit atop that mountain.

His body of work speaks for itself on whether he’s one of the best or not.

I am actually stunned by this. I can't believe I've become so numb to ball. :buh-bye: (ftp://:buh-bye:)

Not a fair comparison for oscar. Frank padded his stats with a bunch of tournament wins.
-
oscar hasn't made the 2nd weekend of the tournament since he rode Self's boys to a runner up finish :facepalm:
1 round of 32 appearance in 12 years since Self's players left :facepalm:
-
oscar is 61. Retirement has to be on the horizon right?
-
unless he takes after Bill, then we get 20 more years of oscar

"Why settle for 4th when you don't know how many people/teams are competing for those spots and if you consider there might be at least 6, maybe 8 people/teams going for it 4th place puts you in the top half and is respectable and if a few things go right and the ball bounces your way a few times 3rd might even be available."

Q: Do you have an impression of Coach Weber?
A: Yeah. (Laugh) Whenever I’m on the court, whether the play has to deal with me or not, he’s like, “KAAAAAAMMM! KAAAAAAMMM!” Then I turn around to answer, say, “What?” And he doesn’t say anything sometimes. But then sometimes he’ll tell me to tell other players to do this - he could have called their names, too! But I know where he’s coming from - I’m the point guard, the leader, so he wants me to be that coach on the floor.

Just a thought. Maybe Frank gave Willie Catland such a bad connotation in the eyes of parents due to his cussing and hellion hollering the BWeb could not recruit anything but crap. Now the last 3 years he has gotten solid recruits. We are on the way up. After the 3 juniors gradgeeate, then it may be ugly.

We have a good chance to be good this year and next.
Then what.... no great recruits in the pipeline.
In two years. ..... realism. Enjoy the ride given to us by Claws, Flush, Deathbite, and Sneed.
Blame Weed Foster for Weber's eventual demise.

One thing that has never gotten talked about enough is when oscar talks about "the hockey pass", "the assist that leads to the assist". I think he's the only coach I've ever heard talk about this.

Announcers do all the time though...for whatever reason.

The only time I've ever even heard the hockey pass/assist associated to basketball was one of my favorite K-State Basketball plays OAT where Denis over the back'd it to McGruder to Pullen to Kelly for the DOB.
Announcer even referenced it.

Even more, the native of Kansas City, Missouri, said he first became interested in playing at K-State from watching his older brother face the Wildcats in 2015. The Wildcats topped the Bears, ranked No. 22 at the time, by two in Bramlage Coliseum, and Wainright liked what he saw.
“That’s when I really started looking at K-State and thinking, ‘I like how they play. I like how Coach (oscar) Weber coaches.’ He lets the guards and his players play. He pushes them on defense. So I started looking at that, like, ‘I want to be a part of that,’” Wainright said. “Eventually I ended up being a part of it.”

You rough ridin' oscar apologist piece of crap bad person.

Shaka wasn't too smart tonight.

Biggest win in almost three years
-
So I have come to the conclusion that all of the Big XII coaches with the exception of Self have colluded to allow Weber to win just enough games to keep his job, thus ensuring that Kstate is never a viable threat in the conference. Self will only fall on the sword when it doesn't jeopardize a confy championship or if it looks like Weber may really be in trouble

There's a lot of irony is Oscar missing on the recruitment of Roach.

Sometime in late Dec 2019 oscar Weber will become the third winningest coach in KSU hoops.
In 2024 oscar will set behind only Jack Hartman.
When he retires in 2026, oscar Weber will walk off of oscar Weber Family Court for the last time as the greatest coach in KSU hoops history.

What is oscar's conference winning percentage compared to Frank?
Frank was 50-32 .610
oscar is 51-50 .501
Frank did get the luxury of playing Nebraska, Colorado, and Wayne Morgan's/McNeck's ISU teams 6 of 16 games a year. oscar's schedule is probably good for 2 games a year tougher than what Frank had but he also gets two more chances to pick up wins. All things considered, oscar's results are a lot closer to Frank's than any of us are comfortable with.

It's hard to believe until you realize that there were two years where he didn't even have a team in the tournament. You can't expect him to win when he doesn't even get a chance.

He asserts that Currie's personal issues led KSU to now having a worse coach than Frank. Currie says he disagrees. CPA says that obviously Frank is a better coach than Weber. Currie tells him he's wrong.
I leap past CPA and ask Currie if it's his position that Weber's a better coach than Frank. Currie says he's not going to talk to me with me coming at him with that tone. WTF? I ask him again, more calmly or whatever and he says that Weber has 200+ wins (he had the exact number). I say, no crap, he's been coaching for a decade longer.

Well since people are completely disregarding the NCAA when considering tournament wins, I'm going to use the same logic. When myself, and frankly most people reading this board, started watching the NCAA tournament it had 45 teams. Since of course any games won before a divisor of 16 don't count then any game won before the round of 32 is completely fake.
For some reason there's a segment of sports fans, not just K-State fans, who act like 64 is some sacred number although for any gen Xer the tournament has been something other than that more than it has, and it was 64 for only a very small number of years of the tournament's existence. And guess what? It's going to increase again when this TV deal is over.

I think you're kidding, hoping? But to drive this point home even more, there is literally no one alive on the planet, not a single person, who has spent a majority of their life with a 64 team tournament. The tournament was 64 teams for only 15 years, 1985-2000. The tournament hasn't been 64 teams for 18 years yet we're STILL hearing 68 team hottakes from disgruntled Anti-Brucers, sports talk morning zoo hosts, and sports fans who only watch college basketball for 4 weeks.
There is nothing more old ballzy than pining for something that was left in the 20th century. AOL, pogs, and teletubbies were things since the 64 team tournament went away.

Frank only had 2 NCAA wins at K-State
?
Well since people are completely disregarding the NCAA when considering tournament wins, I'm going to use the same logic. When myself, and frankly most people reading this board, started watching the NCAA tournament it had 45 teams. Since of course any games won before a divisor of 16 don't count then any game won before the round of 32 is completely fake.
For some reason there's a segment of sports fans, not just K-State fans, who act like 64 is some sacred number although for any gen Xer the tournament has been something other than that more than it has, and it was 64 for only a very small number of years of the tournament's existence. And guess what? It's going to increase again when this TV deal is over.
The difference is that the most of the teams don’t have a first round game. Either everyone not playing in it should be credited with a win vs bye, or those who win the game should be treated like they won a play-in game to reach the real tournament. Otherwise you credit coaches for winning a matchup against an equally crappy team while other coaches who actually had better seasons have to play a much better team than theirs in their first round. People would give first round wins more weight if the tournament had a field of 128.
-
The ncaa tournament is popular b/c of brackets and rough ridin' off at work/school, and everyone's bracket always has been and always will be a 64-team bracket. That, and that the first round is called the FIRST round, reinforces why people only consider THE tournament as the thing that america cares about that starts on a thursday.
-
Make the NIT great again!
-
I think they stopped calling it the first round recently. If you’re talking tournament wins, I think MIR is right you gotta count play-in/first four just like you would count wildcard games in any other postseason. It’s a good point that if we want to be critical of NCAA adding those games, why stop there since the field has expanded so much to dilute the meaning of a tournament win over the years?
With that out of the way, it’s a pretty weak jump to say fans should value a first four win the same as a Thursday/Friday game.

I think you're kidding, hoping? But to drive this point home even more, there is literally no one alive on the planet, not a single person, who has spent a majority of their life with a 64 team tournament. The tournament was 64 teams for only 15 years, 1985-2000. The tournament hasn't been 64 teams for 18 years yet we're STILL hearing 68 team hottakes from disgruntled Anti-Brucers, sports talk morning zoo hosts, and sports fans who only watch college basketball for 4 weeks.

NCAA went to 68 in 2010.

Just add 4 wins to Frank's total since he isn't a crapface loser and never had to worry about advancing out of the first 4

Born in '87, it's all I know :gocho: also, the first 10 years of expansion in 2000 were to 65 and an extra 16 seed... WGAF?
-
i appreciate the point MIR is trying to make, but LOL at counting the 65 team years as an expanded field. it was a battle of 16 seeds to see who got to play the #1 seed, and you couldn't even pick a winner on your bracket. my entire life has been a 64 team field m8.

2001-2010 : The Lost Years

Maybe one day, the world will acquiesce to the ncaa and quit calling the play-in games “play-in games,” or recognize the thing teams are playing into as something other than the tournament, and give oscar full credit for his one ncaa tournament win at ksu.

oscar agendites have to research the history of the ncaa tournament in order to justify counting a rough ridin' play-in game victory, amazing
-
just my .02 but i don't consider winning a play in game a tournament win. hang a banner for eff sake. i always thought it was hilarious when one of the 16 seed teams would win their play in game and the graphic was "Eastern Michigan Tech's FIRST EVER TOURNAMENT WIN!" ummmmmm, no.
-
FWIW, I count last year as being in the tournament, but not a "real" tournament win because it was the play in game. Obviously, oscar needs to change that sooner than later.
-

It's smart for the tv network to put that graphic up and try to get people to buy in and go along with that presentation, with that theoretically leading to more regular people treating such games as tournament games and tuning in.

Serious question: is there a wildcard game in any other sport that you refuse to call a “playoff game”? (or postseason)
-

It would be hard to feel like you were actually in the MLB playoffs if you lost the 1 game wildcard series.
-
Not really the question. I’m asking if you would consider that game a postseason win.
-
I don't know what it feels like to lose a wildcard game so it's hard to say
-
I mean, I would. I think the disconnect here might be between people who treat the NCAA tournament as an invitational and people that treat it as the playoffs of college basketball. I can totally see both ways since the criteria isn’t super objective for a lot of teams that get in, but to me the tournament is just the playoffs so I definitely consider first four as playoff wins. Doesn’t mean I’m happy with just getting there though.
-
when the debate turns to whether or not a "play-in" is considered a tournament win, you've already lost

If he would have lost that game, people would have busted his ass and railed on the he doesn't win tournament games train even more. It's a valid point to analyze for non-agendites.

this just isn't true. to me this has nothing to do with oscar. I felt this way before this dork was even our coach. I feel the same about the stupid "second round" thing. "Southern Utah States first ever second round win!" ummmmmm, no.
I hate to agree with meowmeow here but the fact that people that support oscar are arguing this point speaks to the level we have descended to as a program.
-
It is true. Nobody supports oscar, many are just tired of the #BID'rs rinse and repeat shtick. It's old and played out and takes zero thought process to come up with reasonable explanations of what's going on from game to game. Some ppl just want to chat about the cats without having to thumb through a billion "eff oscar, BID, Classic oscar, etc.." bull crap.
-
is the #BID rinse and repeat shtick more or less tired than the irrelevant brand of basketball we've experienced the last 5 years?
-
IDK, but many BBS'rs have tapped out when it comes to rational thinking about cat sports lately. Maybe everyone is in some weird rough ridin' trance ever since they lost their scorn lover from 6 years ago.
-
yeah, that's probably it
-
Not really the question. I’m asking if you would consider that game a postseason win.
No, not really.
-
There isn't a huge difference between oscar and Frank. You can make a valid argument for either of them when it comes to success/results. Although, the tournament records at KSU do stand out.
For me it's mostly about having a fun basketball program. Frank and his teams were fun to watch. Because of Frank's personality and the grittiness of his players, it was still entertaining even when they struggled. oscar is the exact opposite of that idea. Because of oscar's personality and penchant for making excuses, he needs to win at a higher rate to make his program fun and entertaining.
-
I love basketball and being a bubble team over and over again pisses me off. If oscar was consistently getting us a middle of the road seed I would be fine with it. If he wouldn’t give these dumb bullshit excuses all the time and winning I would tolerate him. Sadly that’s not the case tho.
-
Hey guys, go much up your own thread about whether your personal opinions on whether the first four games "count" or not (lol gmafb of course they count. Ask Illinois State or Syracuse if they think they count or not)
This thread is about oscar moving up the list of all time great K-State coaches.
-
If you really wanna see what purgatory was/is, you should of tried watching K-state basketball pre Huggins, now that was really a kick in the nuts. Frank had some questionable bubble teams as well that had to rally late in the season to make the tourney. Acting like you're watching a team fight to make the tournament isn't something new with just oscar.
-
That’s all oscar has and ever will do tho
-
Cy Young has the most wins, complete games, games started etc in baseball history. Doesn’t make him the best, far from it.
-
That’s all oscar has and ever will do tho
He's about to make the tourney 4 out of 6 years with K-state. He was a 4 seed, a 9 seed, play in last year, and nobody knows where he'll end up this year.
Frank was a 11 a seed with beaz, a 2 seed, a 5 seed, and then a 8 seed.
-
BETTER THAN WOOLY!
-
@Tobias !!!
-
I did not have fun during the WVU game. At all. Or Tulsa. KU games were frustrating.
But overall I have had a lot of fun watching this team and the players this year. I really like Barry, Cartier, Dean, Sneed, and Kam. Mak sometimes. Love, Stockard, Wainright a little. I think McGuirl might have some potential.
And I'm looking forward to Hoops and Hops Saturday.

Wacky is crushing all these heartbroken Frank lovers with hard cold facts and it aint pretty.

TBT, when did you start following cats basketball? And be honest. I think that answer is a huge dividing line for expectations between different cats.
And no M^2, it wasn't just wooly, it was Asbury, and Altman's 1 tourney appearance too. All I've ever known growing up is crap bball teams during my cognitive years of living.

I get that people miss something about Frank. I don't get why they aren't honest about what it is. Tournament success isn't it. They're not going to do a 180 and start loving oscar if he wins a couple of tournament games this year.

I think it's the dork factor. I know oscar's weirdo looks and gestures bug me. Frank's schtick grew tiresome over time. I overlooked him as I will oscar when he put good teams together and developed players.
I just want Cat wins, nice tourney seeding, and some second weekend games. Is that too much to ask?

Sure. oscar's teams have their moments for me. But his basketball program, as a whole, has been mostly disappointing and frustrating. I just find it much more difficult to get excited for oscar hoops.

Can't tell if you're trolling but this is actually pretty important. i think it definitely plays a part in football for post-Snyder-hire fans....they all seem to have unrealistic expectations due to recent success because that's all they know....or maybe i my expectations are too low given my pre-Snyder experiences.
HOWEVER, i watched the cats coached by Jack Hartman and then Lon Kruger. Through 1988 a case could be made that we were on par with our sister school to the east. We were a basketball power and a delight to watch. Who can forget Ed Nealy??? I digress. if you only know the Asbury, Wooly, Altman eras then oscar probably does look pretty damn good. He isn't.

And I have no issue admitting that my problems with oscar are tied to more than just his record.
If you're going to be mediocre you need to have some other fun/entertaining quality about you to make it more palatable. If your only positives are that you run a clean program and you're easy to gif because you're weird and awkward, then you need to win at a higher rate.

It's been said elsewhere, but it sure seems to me like you are actually the one trying to manipulate the facts just so you can say oscar never won a tournament game because you want the guy you dislike to look as bad as possible. I don't GAF about what the NCAA calls it, but a first four game is a postseason/playoff/tournament game. If you win you keep playing and if you don't you're out. What else would you call it?
I'll go a step further and say literally the only people not tallying first four games as tournament wins are people who don't like the school/coach. You can prove me wrong if you ever complained about schools like Southern Utah State getting credited with a tournament win and it WASN'T in the context of criticizing oscar.

Martin and Currie had problems, I agree. Martin, an East Coast guy, also created his own problems. He would not still be here, maybe by choice/ maybe not. It was a learning experience for him and those lessons learned have really helped him at S. Carolina. Good for him.
Like it or not Webber is a good coach. Recruiter? Mostly hard working blue collar types. Very similar to our football program. The way he changed up the defense and his players squeezed the life out of Texas after a bad start is a good example of his coaching. He could win a Championship and still have haters.

Weber inherited a winning culture with players that had won games in March, an angry home court advantage, sandstorm and tunnel dancing, so factor that in the algorithm as well since none of that exists anymore.

I don't really care if its a fun team to watch or not. I gave myself permission to be a fair weather fan in KSU basketball and it was a great decision. I watch when they play ku or another big team, sometimes, and sometimes I don't. I've given myself permission to be fair weather about all the teams I follow. I bet this summer I attend 7 or 8 Royals games and always know if they won or lost the night before. But I'm not living and dying with each game. Its not really worth my time to give a lot of energy into following teams and giving them my emotions like I have in the past. I'll always follow the Cats and Royals and Chiefs but backing off a lot has been amazing.
So, I'm happy for fellow Cat fans when the team does well.

For me WC I'm less of an active BID'r but more in the camp of KSU hoops needs to win me back as a fan. I just don't really care very much. If we make the tourney, of course I'll watch, but I don't have any excitement as a fan. I think a lot of K-State fans are more in my camp than the active Booing oscar Testy Westy camp. Its just not worth much time and energy. The program needs to do something other than being a perennial bubble team to get fans excited.
-
Totally fair, friend. :thumbs: K-State has always had me by the balls in an unhealthy way. So it's all I know.

But if we play in the Big XII tourney on Wednesday and _FAN wants to go, I'm in.

But if we play in the Big XII tourney on Wednesday and _FAN wants to go, I'm in.
How about Thursday? Decent chance at the 11:30 game...
-
I get that people miss something about Frank. I don't get why they aren't honest about what it is. Tournament success isn't it. They're not going to do a 180 and start loving oscar if he wins a couple of tournament games this year.

I just want to say that pages 5 and 6 are some of the most mind numbingly stupid crap I've ever read, truly amazing stuff.
-
The last time oscar coached a weekend game in the NCAA tournament he lost to Brady Morningstar, Tyrel Reed and the Morris twins
-
they were probably dealing with adversity that neither you or i can comprehend
-
It is true. Nobody supports oscar, many are just tired of the #BID'rs rinse and repeat shtick. It's old and played out and takes zero thought process to come up with reasonable explanations of what's going on from game to game. Some ppl just want to chat about the cats without having to thumb through a billion "eff oscar, BID, Classic oscar, etc.." bull crap.
So, it takes all types for a fanbase. Athletic Departments and players really like fans that support the program no matter what. It gives programs some sense of stability and viability even during lean times. But without #BID'rs telling anyone and everyone that oscar is a Major League dork who will always be a step down from what is possible here, then nothing is ever going to change. It's good that Cat fans, the AD, and oscar know that we think that we deserve better. It applies pressure, and that's a good thing. If you find that annoying or repetitious, then just imagine what it feels like for us having to keep saying the same crap over and over for the past six years. We don't enjoy it either. But Cats deserve better than oscar. I think you all know that.

Well that's a huge crock of crap.

Look at it this way. Shaka Smart should be available soon.

I was just sitting here considering how i would feel if Brad Underwood was our coach and the team was exactly the same...same players, same record, same everything. I realized i would be very excited for our team and happy with where we sit in the Big 12 race. I would very much be looking forward to a run in the tourney. I honestly feel very sad about this because i think i've concluded that i will not be happy or excited for our team so long as oscar is coaching. I truly wish i could change or overcome that...i really do.
-
He's 12-13 this year bud and Groce recruited decently while he was there. Also, the big ten sucks this year too.
-
Either way, just root on the cats. Plenty of adorable cats on this team.

We suck so bad, we are a Dean Wolf injury away from being early Jim wooly years bad

This team is really fun to watch and oscar is a good coach.

If you really wanna see what purgatory was/is, you should of tried watching K-state basketball pre Huggins, now that was really a kick in the nuts. Frank had some questionable bubble teams as well that had to rally late in the season to make the tourney. Acting like you're watching a team fight to make the tournament isn't something new with just oscar.
The only year this was true was 2010-2011 and we ended up a damn 5 seed. Stop with revionist history

Frankuary played the 11 and 12 teams off the bubble, but they were both in trouble in early February.
11 was 16-9/4-6 and not in any bracketology before winning 6 straight, including 2 top 10 wins (KU, UT).
12 was 17-8/6-7 before winning 4 of 5 (top 10 Mizzou).
That's not revisionist history, its a credit to Frank for playing great down the stretch both years. Doubt in oscar being able to do the same in our last 6 is justified.
-
frank was 50-32 in conference play
oscar is 51-50
frank finished in the top half of the conference all 5 seasons
oscar finished in the top half 2 out of 5 (including a tie for 1st in year 1)
frank won ncaa tourney games in 4 of 5 seasons (including an elite 8)
oscar has yet to win one in 5 seasons

Frank > oscar. I don't think this is debatable.

I think a low seed is possible.
Likely will be again't a powerful ream.
Good bye tourney
After the game Saturday, the Wichita Eagle reported Weber saying when we can run our stuff we do good. When they can't, they don't play well. I don't like KU, but they make in game adjustments. Tech made adjustments at half. Why can't we do the same? Coach? Players? No post? Brench? Coaches?
Fans are still the bsst.
-
I'll admit the TTU game is a weird tipping point for me but if missing the tournament means we get rid of oscar then I'm rooting for no tournament.

Tech is legit. Their 2nd half defensive adjustment made us look silly. Time to change things up offensively and go get that big W for oscar in Stillwater on Wednesday! :ksu: :ksu:

This. Texas Tech and Chris Beard have advantages that we don't have and can't match at KSU. Their program has history and intangibles that we don't have and never will.

I think with Tech's long history of success in the Big 12, that are boys are beat mentally before they even take the court. Think KU, but tougher, mentally.
-
Yes...the point is that there is very little that can or could be done by oscar to slow down this jug-er-not. Stop blaming oscar.

Life, Weber is a good coach, a good man, and treats his players well. He does not embarrass us. We could do worse from a personable side for a coach. I get annoyed by his mannerisms. I would like to find a new coach who can coach and recruit more talented players. Weber's downfall has always been getting talented players. Hate can be destructive. Wishing someone would kill Weber and anyone who supports him is taking support for a team to a disturbing low. I feel sorry for your family and dog. Just go out in the garage and have a cussing fit in front of the cat. Likely when you are.done the cat will crap in the litter box; a fitting critique.

“The constant theme was he’s a really good coach, a really good person and he doesn’t cheat,” Taylor said. “Then I get here and I meet him, and I look at his record — three NCAA Tournaments in five years, a conference championship — I’m like, you know, a lot of ADs would love to have that.”

Hopefully the next sentence in this quote starts with "However......"

so basically we can never fire oscar because he "won" a conference even though we all know who was the real champ that year, just like we know OU wasn't the real champ in football that year.

This is disappointing. I guess we are supposed to be thrilled that we've made the tournament 60% of the time (no wins)? I would think making the tournament would be the MINIMUM expectation for a program like ours....i'm appalled that I'm supposed to "love" making the tournament 60% of the time (no wins).
How low have we sunk????

“A lot of ADs would love to have our ‘problem’ in basketball right now,” he said, emphasizing the word problem by making a quotes gesture with his fingers. “A LOT of ADs. Hopefully people take a step back and realize that.”
My point yesterday is AD's can't afford to think like the fans and they don't for the most part. They're calculated at best.

Dream. Hope. A fun magical run in the tournament. Stomping KU. No embarrassing losses. People being rewarded with wins at Bramledge against ranked teams when we yell our guts out. Good solid quality recruits every year. Fun being a fan.
Mr. Gene none of the above ever has been with Weber, and never will. Us average Joe grunt fan want these things. KSU sports are a big enjoyment in life. You ADs have ruined basketball, and will soon do the same to football. What is next?

Working our way to a 9 seed. Love this team.
3 more wins and I think it's highly likely we are playing in the 8 v 9 game. So 10-8 and 1 Sprint Center Win or 11-7 and no SC win
Go 3-1 and then 1-1 in KC, we'd be a solid 8 seed. With a chance to get to a 7 seed.

(Paraphrasing) Oscar last night said we are winning close games this year because juniors now how more experience. Or --- Is Oscar better at coaching mature players. His last best team here was the first one; mature players. His best at Illinois was filled with matures.

I don't know if it's possible and too lazy to check, but would there be a more Oscar thing that to share the conference crown this year with KU, WV and TTech after going O-fer against them? I think not.
-
This year's squad has definitely been more fun to watch, but they have been painful to watch as well in games where they are shooting below 30%.
I think "enjoyability" is also wrapped around conditioning. We are all conditioned (well most of us) to enjoy the grind it out style of LHC Bill Snyder football. But, when I talk to people who barely follow the BIGXII they think it is pretty vanilla and boring.
