Assistant Coach Rumor Thread

[kso_FAN]

If it (dui) didn't (often) kill people, it probably wouldn't be such a big deal.

speeding kills people, but somehow we deal with it with a small fine and society doesn't come unraveled.  not to mention that we consider ourselves capable of distinguishing between the relative elevated risks involved of doing 150 in a 30 zone and doing 59 in a 55.

I agree with sys for two reasons:

A. My doing so immediately undermines him
B. The consequences associated with not hurting somebody while driving with a bac of .08 or higher are draconian and asinine when compared to the consequences for driving into someone and killing them while just being an inattentive moron.

You can acknowledge the seriousness of drunk driving yet at the same time admonish the random and nonsensical nature of DUI enforcement and traffic violations in general.

Anyway as far as Hill goes, none of that is important, its an issue solely of awful judgment.  He's aware of how society views drunk driving and he's aware of what public image he needs to portray to be an effective recruiter, yet he seemingly doesn't care enough to get rough ridin' car service.  He's made nearly 2 million dollars in the last 5 years of his life, there are no credible excuses.

Agree with MIR here.

And I don't disagree with sys' point about relative elevated risks.

Talk about a tangent.  You gotta be pretty hard up for bbsing material when you take up the pro drunk driving talk point.

So, I take it we are so dried up on coaching leads and rumors that we've resorted to all this ^^^^^^^^^^^^^? Anybody? Anything? News on Assistant #3?

Whoever it is, he's been allowed to recruit without restrictions for a LONG time.

rumors that currie might have cut the assistant #3 position due to budget concerns. clams thinks it was the fiscally responsible thing to do and has no issues with it.

Probably not far from the truth...I will say this though...my money is not on an Anthony Beane or oscar Shingler. I think he'll go after a young white guy. He's not going to want to alienate the athletic white kids that he goes after. We make this argument that we need these recruiters to be out there "relating" to these athletes. He already has two strong black recruiters....just a thought.

Korn is young, extremely white, and even a ginger.  He has that part of the spectrum locked up.

As far as I know Korn is just the DOBO, not an assistant therefore not allowed to recruit or build substantial relationships with these athletes until they've already started at K-State....not gonna help obtain these kids on the recruiting trail.

[CNS]

Oh man, I thought he was kidding.

Being realistic. If you knew anything about recruiting.....and especially if you want to recruit in states like KS (where the talent is limited but maybe you want to bring in a K-state kids, who do you have on the staff to relate to them?? BW alone? A 50 something white guy? On the surface that may sound harsh but name 5 HM programs out there that have all black assistants...do you really think that's a coincidence?

Hey 3/4 ain't bad though. :FootTappingGuy:

Well, considering the "hooded" personal message I just received, atleast one of you misinterpreted what I was trying to say. I'm NOT saying that this is how coaching and recruiting "should" be and I certainly did not say that is how I "want" it to be. I was simply pointing out the way it IS. Having a family member in the business, it is a reality in the way recruiting these kids works. So, please, no more "hoods" in my inbox.

[WillieWatanabe]

what in the world.
