Assistant Coach Rumor Thread

[EMAWzifried]

What's been the strength and conditioning philosophy at Baylor? Didn't see much out of the last regime in that regard. Not much reason to keep either Bradford or Massoud around if they don't commit to physical changes.

Massoud definitely isn't going anywhere and hopefully Bradford isn't either.

Agreed!

If this staff can't upgrade from Massoud, there's a lot of misplaced optimism around here.

Hey buddy, quit raining on our parade.

[catastrophe]

I'm not sure I've ever followed assistant coach movements, but nabbing assistants from Chris Beard and that other guy who was in the mix to hire as HC seem like good gets. Especially when both are known as good recruiters!

Jesus Christ, he's a 6'8" guard who averaged 7 PPG and shot 33% from the three point line, he's clearly a high major player. He's already used his free transfer. If Tang kicks a high major player on the streets without the ability to get a scholarship because he feels like he can't get anything out of a player who has averaged 7 points a game over three years in high major college basketball, then I'll lose my crap.

If Massoud decides to leave on his own, then that's fine, but he won't leave on his own. I promise you that there were players on his roster at Baylor every single year far worse than Massoud. There aren't that many good players.

Guard? He was a rough ridin' forward who didn't know WTF a rebund was, couldn't defend and took hundreds of bad shots. He sucks. Move his worthless ass on.

 So, can we still keep Shane?

His dumb ass replied to the wrong post, he meant to reply to my post about Massoud. Shouldn't be surprised that he's still managing to be constantly crying about something.

He will likely not be retained

[schreds21]

I also wonder if when the key Ahearn Fund donors mobilized to make an offer for Brad, Gene was able to convince them to kick a little to Jerome so he can go get some guys dudeswho will get guys dudes.

Well I was "crying" for years that we rid ourselves of the losery staff while you were an effing ping pong ball on Oscar.  If indeed Shane isn't retained. something I leave to Tang's wisdom, there is less chance the losery Massoud will be around either.

Stop

[DQ12]

massoud wasn't a worldbeater and he certainly isn't irreplaceable, imo.  but he's a competent piece.  there are certainly players currently on the roster that are worse than him if we got to pick and choose roster attrition.

[Dr Rick Daris]

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.

I also wonder if when the key Ahearn Fund donors mobilized to make an offer for Brad, Gene was able to convince them to kick a little to Jerome so he can go get some guys who will get guys.

Hopefully. I have heard a few times in various places that big money kstate donors either are or will be shifting from facilities to salaries which would be great. Overall, our crap is really pretty nice now. Time to give basketball and football more money for staff.

I don't even know what being a ping pong ball on oscar even means. Does that mean I was happy when we were winning and not happy when we were losing? Guilty, lol.

Well if that's the case, unfortunately, that will be at the peril of the basketball program because Bramlage is the last thing on the initial master plan that isn't either done or currently under construction. If we found the money to make Brad an offer, the money should be there to pay the coaches and get Bramlage done.

Agreed. Massoud would be good in a 6th man role, he can catch fire sometimes.

metimes.

He is the poster child of a lazy, selfish player. He can't or won't defend or rebound. He racked up, count them, 10 assists this season. 10! I don't think a competent staff would view him as about winning.

You really have to be the most boring, mousy person I've ever ran across.

[stunted]

He’s a shooting guard not a passing guard

[EMAWzifried]

Obviously.

And what is this "guard" crap? He is at most a wing. And his shooting efficiency, which greatly benefitted fro the only think he's good at of FT, was 0.47, with anything less than .5 considered below average.

not so sure about the two parts of this sentence going together
