I sure hope oscar is awesome at winning basketball games!

[pissclams]

me too 8manpick, me too.

i wouldn't describe oscar as a hurricane though.  he reminds me of a 50 megaton nuclear weapon developed by the soviets and tested in 1962.

Yeah, buddy! 

['taterblast]

Tru dat.

"The honeymoon was over a long time ago. It ended a long time ago, I know that. oscar has showed a few moments that he's got some Frank in him."

oscar is not a prick and he can actually play basketball.

None of that makes him a better coach, or that the players will play as hard as they did for Frank, or that he'll win. But that's what I got from that.

The question remains whether a player will play harder out of fear or out of love.  I tend to agree with the Machiavellian stance that it is better to be feared than loved if one must be lacking.  Therefore while I believe players will play hard for oscar I don't believe they will play as hard as they did for Frank.  It's just not going to happen. 

"Upon this a question arises: whether it be better to be loved than feared or feared than loved? It may be answered that one should wish to be both, but, because it is difficult to unite them in one person, is much safer to be feared than loved, when, of the two, either must be dispensed with.  Men have less scruple in offending one who is beloved than one who is feared, for love is preserved by the link of obligation which, owing to the baseness of men, is broken at every opportunity for their advantage; but fear preserves you by a dread of punishment which never fails."

frank martin is an embarrassment and a disgrace to whichever school's bench he represents.  his coaching "tactics" are a farce. 

[puniraptor]

I'm just worried that no one can love oscar.

HERE COMES THE oscar WEBER PAIN TRAIN!

Summary:  Thank God we're rid of Frank and his abusive ways.

[Rage Against the McKee]

oscar is nothing but positive reinforcement.

Hindsight is 20/20, but all of the evidence shows us that we should have fired Frank sooner.

I want people to be afraid of how much they love me.

Wrong and Wrong, players play hard for playing time...up to the coach to enforce it, doesn't matter if it is out of love or fear.

So they play hard because of a fear that the coach will punish them with less playing time.  Oh, I see you've met my friends Check and Mate.  I'll let you guys talk.

I don't know if fear or love is better, but I think the there are a lot of factors that go into players playing hard.  I think one of the most important ones is pride.  Look at Snyder's 16 goals. Pride isn't in there, but it is impossible to achieve those goals without a sense of pride, both in one's self and in your team. If Weber can get a sense of pride and unity in a team, they will go far.

i'm going to be a coach and just carry a gun with me at all times on the sidelines.  my pregame speech to the team will be play hard or die.  same as my halftime speech of course, as well as my post game speech.

undefeated natty champs (w/troph to prove it) and hopefully old balls gets us to the bcs victory

best season ever?  trophs galore?  yup.
