Chris Lowery, ANOTHER PROVEN LOSER WHO RUNS PROGRAMS INTO THE GROUND

[tuck34]

Added as an assistant.  And the tucks are in heaven now for reasons they cannot explain.

not all tucks are

[SalukiNation]

I do have to clear up one more thing. Lowery was not a good x's and o's coach.

Wait, so you are saying he neither can recruit or coach well?

He landed a Top 30 recruiting class at Southern then chased them off.  X's and O's? Bad.

While watching that, I noticed a Hitler video about Lowery while at SIU.   

Things are so sad that I've resorted to watching Hitler videos about us and coaches we are bringing in.

Lowry's demise is similar to Weber's, but much worse. His first few years his teams forced TOs like crazy averaging nearly 25% TO rate. Shooting against them was poor, but they sent teams to the FT line a lot. Offense was pretty average all around, but they scored enough to win. Then the last few years they quit forcing TOs and this year they had one of the worst eFG% defenses in the country. All the while they kept fouling, a lot while getting worse on offense.

I'm pretty sure that somewhere in KS law it states that the Board of Regents must purge the administration from top to bottom if they hire an entire coaching staff that has YouTube Hitler videos about them.

It rough ridin' should be.

YOU HEAR THAT, YOU MOTHER FUCKERS?  IT WAS WORSE!

[AbeFroman]

Who cares. We need to be as bad as possible so we can run that low life piece of crap mother rough rider Currie out of town. We need chemotherapy (losing) to get rid of the cancer that is Currie

Yes, it was much worse.

If we could somehow extrapolate out the good coaching years from both of them at Southern Illinois, the team would not only be pretty good, but fun to watch.

Its just all the bad years of basketball coaching that they both have strung together lately that worries me.

Yeah, it was weird. You would know better than me, but I thought his first 3 years or so his teams were really fun to watch. Played ridiculous in your face defense and suffocated people. What the heck happened to him? He was seriously my #1 choice before I realized Weiser was going to give Huggins a chance back in 06.

The fact that he was able to recruit relatively well for a while is a bright spot. If he can recruit well to Manhattan (it's not like it's any harder than recruiting to SIU) and not run the good players off this time, then this hire might not be entirely bad.

It's certainly understandable to be skeptical about this hire though. I definitely am.

He lost Jamal Tatum and Tony Young.  Those two guys bailed out Lowery's "commotion" offensive with clutch 3's all the way through the Sweet 16 run, and almost beat KU that year.

I think what people underestimate in the Southern Illinois stats for Weber was that Matt Painter was a hell of a coach.

Ok, enough, point made.  We all wanted to kill the rough rider who started this yesterday, some of us long before that.  Now, go over to gopowercat.com where your work is needed.  Toodles.

I'll let you all melt down in peace. I'm not sure gopowercat would listen.

True. And Painter owned Weber at Purdue. Weber was 4-10 against him and lost the last 6 games.

[SouthernIllinoisRedneck]

SalukiNation is spot on.

I'd like to add a few things.  Weber is not a good X's and O's coach.  I'm not trying to pick a fight.  I'm just going to give you a glimpse into the future.

The offense is horrible.  Due to a couple of reasons.  One is, Bubbles doesn't allow early shots in the possession.  This causes last second contested shots.  Second, Bubbles doesn't support his players.  So no one wants to be the guy with the ball as the shot clock expires.  If you don't make the shot, then Bubbles is going to pull you.  Or throw the kid under the bus after the game.

After a dead ball or a time out, Bubbles will show off his mastery of the game with a set play.  Often times this will result in a shot clock violation or a last second contested three pointer.

Forget about executing a good in bounds play.  You will be lucky to in bounds the ball, forget about an open look at the basket.

And his defense is easy to prepare for.  He never uses a zone.  Not after a timeout.  Not on in bounds plays.  Never.  His approach to the game is from the '70's.  He's stubborn as hell.

[IlliniQuant]

Let me put it this way.  When lowery, who came to Illinois with weber as an assistant, left after one year to coach SIU, the prevalent reaction among illini fans was one of vast indifference.

I will say this though. He's 10 times less useless than jay price, another one of webers lifelong BFFs i fear you're about to get saddled with

Woof. Having Rodney pulled after missing a couple next year is going to be maddening.

Can someone redirect all incoming IPs from Illinois to gopowercat.com ?  I know you don't want to lose the traffic, but take one for the team here.  These guys are desperately needed over there.

I modified my original post.  Bubbles will either pull the kids out of the game.  Or throw them under the bus to the media after the game.  Either way, all of the pressure is on the kids.  Bubbles deflects any blame.  He has zero accountability.

Well at least we were never good at in bounds plays

When Lowery and Weber were together at Southern Illinois they went 52-15 and made two NCAA Tournaments, including a Sweet 16.
