Kansas State Basketball is hard / Re: SUPPORT oscar WEBER

If you hate this hire direct it at John Currie and "Mr. Loyalty" Frank Martin, not oscar Weber. Remember, Frank bailed on us..Currie pushed him out. Those are the guys that put us in this situation. All Weber did was get a good job opening and now that he got it he deserves a fair shot from our fan base. The last thing we'd want a quality future coach to see is a fan base turn on a coach who was never given a chance to succeed which is a big turn off because it gives an impression of inflated expectations and negative environment.
At least Weber is a well known name in coaching circles/high schools and has had successful high major teams in a better league than the Big 12. I wanted Gottlieb or some other outside the box hire but it could be a lot worse, like some no name mid-major HC or assistant who no decent recruit has ever heard of.
If you hate this hire, direct it at Currie and Martin who selfishly put their personal strife ahead of the program, school, players and fans to run away from each other and/or improver their own resumes. Dislike, place blame, hate those guys but Weber deserves a chance and the players deserve support. After all the program momentum generated over the past six years, the worst thing that could happen to the basketball program is to fall off the map and start from scratch in 3-4 years. If "the drunk" Huggins followed by "no-name" Frank Martin then "failed at Illinois" oscar Weber can all end up successful at KSU it would reflect well on K-State and its fans and will attract quality coaches in the future. This is a great place to run a basketball program, don't help make it become sh1tty again because of two selfish losers.
