Assistant Coach Rumor Thread

[Mixed-Nutz]

About the same height as Korn, and about Lowery's age. I didn't get a great look at him as I was haulin balls to get to class.

Terrence Rencher and Alvin Brooks III are only about 6'2/6'2

LOL at anyone talking about the next 5 years with Frank....he had filled his nest with crap. 

NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT OR CARING ABOUT FRANK!

Yes they are. oscar's standard will be Frank. It is what it is.

It should be too.  I can't wait for the people who crapped all over Frank's accomplishments to spin oscar Weber in 5 years.  I want him to exceed what Frank did, but he won't.  When we revisit this conversation none of should be held accountable for our opinions, its internet harassment to bring said opinions up later.

A standard is set irregardless of who the coach is.  The standard should be .500 in off years and top 4 during good years.  i'd say top 4 finishes 3 out of 5 years and top half finishes every year should be standard here.

everyone has different standards.  99% of our fanbase's standard is going to be how Frank had performed and how they think he would have performed going forward. 

Well that's effing stupid and all you retards who think this way deserve to be miserable going forward.

oscar will be judged by Frank because oscar hasn't accomplished as much the last 5 years.  We hired a coach who has a lower bar than the previous coach.  If we hired a better coach it would be much easier to judge him on his own merits.

[JohnisnottheCurrie]

Don't get your hopes up or down I really didn't get a good look at him, he was walking along side oscar, who I didn't recognize at first, he kinda just looked like an alum or random old person walking to the parking office in a black KSU polo. Was going around that corner of the garage, hell it could've been JO for all I know. Didn't realize it was Bball staff until I saw Korn and Lowery.

[Mr Bread]

I'm surprised and ever so slightly impressed that Weber didn't bring in Jay Price as one of his assistant coaches, particularly given the misses.  That guy is shitty.  Can only be a positive for KSU that Weber finally cut him loose no matter who he ends up hiring instead.  Not-Jay-Price will always be far superior to Jay Price. 

Price is coming on as DOBO, Weber will announce the staff when everybody is in place, I would assume Alvin Brooks III was offered yesterday and accepted, have no idea who the last ast. will be.

That's my point though.  He'll no longer be a recruiter or an instructor, both things he was miserable at.  Baby step in the right direction for oscar.  He never had the sack to make the same move at Illinois.

April 25, 2012 Weber close to filling staff opening Robert Cassidy GoPowercat.com Staff Writer

oscar Weber's search to fill the seats next to him on the Kansas State bench has been a lengthy one, but it seems to be inching toward its conclusion.

Weber is expected to announce Alvin Brooks III as his second assistant coach, a source told GoPowercat.com on Wednesday. Brooks, who interviewed for the job in Manhattan earlier this week, agreed to join the K-State staff shortly after meeting with Weber. Contract details are still being finalized.

Brooks III, who was previously an assistant at Sam Houston State, joined the Bearcat staff in 2010 after spending the previous two seasons at Bradley as an assistant and the Braves' recruiting coordinator. He has also coached at Arkansas-Fort Smith and Midland College.

Sam Houston State complied a 31-32 record during Brooks III's two-year tenure and won a Southland Conference West Division championship in Brooks III's first season.

Brooks played college basketball at Idaho State, from which he graduated in 2002 after garnering Academic All-Big Sky Conference honors as a senior.

He is the son of is the son of Alvin Brooks II, a former head coach and current associate head coach at Houston who has coached under Billy Gillespie at both Kentucky and Texas A&M.

Brook's joins Weber and associate head coach Chris Lowery at K-State. The Wildcat staff remains unfinished, but is expected to round out in the coming week.

meh, I'm fine w/ Brooks. I will stick with my unproven commodity >>> proven suckage mantra.

Consistent, very nice. Like it, love it, or hate it, time to put all of that aside and go get some players and climb the Big 12 charts.

Yes, and I agree with Bread on Weber droping Price and that other loser from Illinios.  I think he's on the right track in terms of his thought process, though he failed miserably in the early execution.  Not big on Korn as an assistant.  You know that Brooks is extremely connected at the bare minimum.  Hope Korn's interviewing for something else, though i am sure I'll be disappointed.

perhaps Price is still in the mix for full time asst.

Any word on if Doug Edwards was sticking around or if he will be leaving too. Pretty sure I saw him leaving BWW 2 weeks ago, not close enough to confirm though. Seems like he might be worth keeping around if possible.

Or he turned down dobo for prides sake.  I sure webers comment about " jay needing to decide what he wants to do" was related to that.  Of course weber may have gotten far enough down the list that price is now his best option.

oscar Weber tells me he's still talking to Alvin Brooks about joining his staff. Nothing agreed on yet, but he's hopeful a deal will be made

Really?  How hard is it to say, "Hey III, how much are you making at SHS?  Okay, here is an extra X, come dominate over here."?

[michigancat]

LOL. Wow.

[CNS]

I hope it's due to oscar understanding what Brook's market value is and Brooks wanting to make more than the student team managers.
