Assistant Coach Rumor Thread

[stunted]

This is the greatest day in Kansas state basketball history

[j-von]

New GRCOAT incoming? Likely.

[wetwillie]

Good god Jerome Tang has brought a huge wave of old posters back, this is amazing.

[EMAWzifried]

I made the argument so many times in recent years that we needed someone who knew how to build a program. Never in my wildest fantasy did I envision this.

[Stupid Fitz]

I have no idea who that guy is either, but I'm very excited that you guys are really excited.  I might watch a bit of hoops again next year. 

[AppleJack]

I'm excited.

Yeah, I don't think any of us expected elite level stuff.

Do your guys think tang took less of a salary so he could go out and get a staff like this? If so then thumbs up because 2.1 mil/year vs 3.0/year isn’t a big deal money wise if 2.1 means that you can go hire a staff of friends and people you know that also kick major ass.

Pretty smart for job security

And for just overall kicking ass, taking names and having fun

I'm excited.

Hi AJ! How are you today?

[stunted]

This for real couldn’t have gone any better so far besides grcoat (which didn’t fully pan out either). Grcoat was just silly though, beas/walker/mayo/pope + 4 star scraps.

[AppleJack]

I'm excited.

Hi AJ! How are you today?

Strong to quite strong.

[Dr Rick Daris]

I completely forgot the name herb pope. Decided to see what he’s up to.

I am 100% in support of all of this, but do we have any reports of dudes yet?  I don't know that we do.  We have a lot of reason for recruiting optimism, and that alone is more than what we have had since Frank left.

[Pete]

I mean, we have zero ms paint photoshops of lasers eyes or anything at this point. 

[j-von]

oscar was such a massive comedown after the amazingness of the Huggie/Frank years.  Even when they were good, the excitement level just wasn't the same.  I'm ready to have fun again.  I'm ready to be angry again.

Dowling… should we be excited? Talk to me

Promotion to associate head coach a big deal!

hoping the savings is for overpaying his Delonte for some alleged funnel action like the alleged old days, allegedly.

[EMAWzifried]

Dude probably wanted to work with a coach who didn't run off the players he worked so hard to recruit.
