Are they good sources or are you just reading the Coaching Search thread?

My only concern with "Rock You Like a Hurricane" for the entrance is that it would probably kill tunnel dancing.

Mostly don't like weird child molester moustaches (Morrison, Noah), Mike Anderson (or his children), Wisconsin, the weird faces Sasha Kaun and Withey make, and the name Jimmer.
Oh. And all white basketball players.
Do you like White Tiger?

« on: March 29, 2012, 02:55:43 PM »Do we play Rock You Like A Hurricane in pregame and Globetrotters theme when the team comes out of the tunnel or vice versa?
I think we play the globetrotters theme during the player intros.

Neither were a big deal beems. Please stop repeating them.
Then why do you love Frank Martin? Taking K-State to an Elite Eight and winning Big 12 COY wasn't a big deal.
good godwill you stop distracting us from #hurricane4ksu
please?
I might if I knew who Hurricane was.

« on: March 29, 2012, 02:47:28 PM »I bet the Hurricane has at least one inbounds play that uses some ridiculous ploy to catch the other team off guard.
Maybe 3 players go up to each ref at the same time and tell them their shoes are untied. As all 3 refs look down, we just go dunk the ball without even dribbling. 2 points.

It's this guy. Sorry, I couldn't find a larger picture from his globetrotting days.

"He's got first dibs on all my kids," said Oliver Antigua, who, like his older brother, graduated from Pitt.
Most of Oliver's kids haven't been Cal quality, but 2 DI signess from St. Ray's this year alone. It couldn't hurt.

« on: March 29, 2012, 12:56:49 PM »well well well. So Pearl is obviously best buds w/ Pastner and is selling him on Currie and the passionate KSU fans:

Let's hope. Pearl might be hoping we really blow the hire so he can have the job for himself in 2 years.

« on: March 29, 2012, 12:55:09 PM »I live with a KU roommate. We're great friends. And, I'd say I'm pretty TSC. Within exception of not caring for Withey. Or Sasha Kaun. For totally unreasonable reasons. But, this is the conversation he just had with me.
KU fan to me, 5 minutes ago: "Well, KU lost Danny Manning today. So, I guess KU and K-State are in the same boat, huh."
Me: Hahaha. *but dying on the inside.*
I think a point has been missed. Why do you dislike tall white men?

Does anybody else (probably semi-racistly) think that maybe Hurricane would be able to convince Angel to stay?

« on: March 29, 2012, 12:47:54 PM »Food for thought:
Are Jankovich, Henson, and Underwood EMAW enough to take one for the team and turn down offers from Currie?
Hopefully Boyle will do the same and they'll have no choice but to offer Pearl or find some literal Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).
Yeah, hopefully they all turn down the job so we can go get somebody who will actually succeed, like Hurricane.

« on: March 29, 2012, 12:40:44 PM »Oh, I agree. Close games aren't that important, but I do think that some coaches are much better at them than other coaches.
So in the Big 12, who's good and who's bad?
Good: Bill Self, Rick Barnes
Bad: Travis Ford
Everyone else is either somewhere in between or they haven't been around long enough to fairly evaluate.
http://statsheet.com/mcb/coaches/compare?add=rick-barnes&c1=bill-self&c2=travis-ford
Yeah, but like I said, using the final score to determine whether a game is close or not is kind of like using points scored and allowed to determine who is good at offense and defense. Coaches who recruit good free throw shooters will not have many "close wins" because their teams will close games out at the free throw line. There really isn't a meaningful stat to determine who is good at close games, so I was using the eyeball test. Ford's numbers were surprising, though. Maybe I was wrong about him.

« on: March 29, 2012, 12:23:47 PM »Also, I don't really know how you defined "close game" so I can't really argue the point too much. I would include games that were within 6 points at the under 4 timeout and games that finished with a margin of 3 or less. It seems to me that coaches who are bad at close games tend to keep it close until the last tv timeout, then everything falls apart. See Self vs Roy in the elite 8 this year. Roy isn't bad, but Self is much better.
just saw your edit. Close games are defined by statsheet as games decided by 6 points or less. ChiCat was particularly interested in end-of-game situations, and I can't think of a better way to compare coaches in this way without looking up individual game logs for every coach in question.
I also don't care much about one game comparisons or NCAA tournament results when evaluating coaches. Conference record and finish is far more important IMO, because it is a relatively large sample size and is pretty much all against peer schools.
Oh, I agree. Close games aren't that important, but I do think that some coaches are much better at them than other coaches.

I would imagine Fitz is going to make up a bunch of crap and drop it anonymously so that everyone assumes it came from the Frank camp. It's no secret that Currie and Fitz do not get along.
This probably has roots in that goEMAW nation opened currie's eyes to fitz's disgusting molesting ways, right?
I would think so.

« on: March 29, 2012, 11:54:37 AM »Most coaches are very close to .500 in close games.
You are saying coaches who are good at close games are actually just on the right side of variance? Impossible.
I'm saying I don't think any coaches are good at close games, and it shouldn't be a factor when evaluating potential coaches.
I would have agreed with you, but then you posted Wooly's stats in close games that show he's terrible at them.
He had one freakish year. 49% for a career is not terrible when you consider Bob Huggins wins 52%.
It's all relative to everybody else. It makes a 1-2 game difference in the average year. That is significant.
Also, I don't really know how you defined "close game" so I can't really argue the point too much.

Bob Lutz of The Wichita Eagle provided a list on Wednesday of possible candidates to replace Frank Martin at Kansas State.
According to Lutz, the No. 1 option is Colorado coach Tad Boyle, a name that seems to come up in every job opening across the west and midwest. Boyle appears to be pretty happy in Boulder, however, and many may look at this as a lateral move.
Others on the list include the likes of Illinois State coach Tim Jankovich -- someone ESPN's Andy Katz mentioned earlier this week -- along with Kentucky assistant Orlando Antigua, Oklahoma assistant Steven Henson and Georgia coach Mark Fox, who has ties to the school.
As for long shots? Lutz mentions Saint Mary's coach Randy Bennett, Harvard coach Tommy Amaker, Michigan State assistant Dwayne Stephens and New Mexico coach Steve Alford.
NO Orlando Antigua!!!!! He is not even the top assistant!
