Frank

But I mean, its ridiculous that this is pretty much the exact same thing as last year.

ESPN can probably just recycle this in the next couple of days.

Frank now 1-5 in the SEC. Honestly, I thought he'd be in the NCAAs (with an additional NIT) by year 3 at South Carolina.

yeah, his recruiting has been at least as good if not better outside of Bill and Mike with the glaring exception of point guard.  His only season here w/o a very capable lead guard (or 2) was the year he Bill and Mike and even then Clent was a 4th year starting guard.

Frank might of had a shot to jump start the position with 4 star Villanova transfer Tyrone Johnson last year but he broke his foot in the 3rd game of the SEC season.  It does appear Frank's physical style was a better mismatch for a Big 12 full of teams that generally lack size vs SEC schools that seem to always have 6-8 to 6-10 bangers in abundance.

sometimes i think people here still think that frank was a good coach, very sad

He was successful here.

long term program success isn't attributable to the coach, dumbass

frank's had a long-term, successful tenure at k-state?  you and i measure time differently.
one thing he did enjoy at k-state was a collection of the best players our university has ever put on the floor. 

Well considering the average tenure of a coach in the Big 12 since it was founded is 5 years and 28 of the 52 coaches had tenures of 5 years or less years, I'm pretty comfortable with calling his 5 years here long-term success.

That guy is just plain crazy and doesn't deserve to be a coach. He may be a good coach but his type of attitude is just simply not needed. Even though he would probably not play again, and maybe get whipped, if I were Notice I would have told Martin how to penetrate himself! Notice was trying to play his heart out and even if he made a mistake he didn't deserve this crap from a thug (not a mentor).

What's really amazing is this is the first time he's been caught dropping an f-bomb on camera this season

What frank needs is a team full of try hards and some jesus.  That's what he really needs.

The profanity isn't the issue. He could use language like "gosh darn" and it would be just as bad if he was screaming it a few inches from some kid's face and puffing his chest out like he wanted to fight him.

Well, my point stands. If this is the worst thing that's happened this year, he really gas mellowed out. Still needs to cool it, but maybe he's getting better.

he absolutely has mellowed out a bit, the cameras still follow him around because he still has all of the facial expressions and that huffing and puffing that he has always done

[pissclams]

it such a strange paradox that frank (known great coach) had so much long term success at k-state and can't seem to catch a break at south carolina.
oh well, when it comes to knowing the hoops X's and O's, frank has them down in spades.  as good as a coach as he is, he'll get that thing turned around very soon.

[kso_FAN]

I'm pretty sure I jinxed Frank with my fulcrum post. Sorry Frank and male genitals fans.

Can't imagine what it was like to get a math problem wrong in front of the class during franks early years in miami.

Have you ever had a chalk eraser thrown at you?

I have

There is a good chance he could make the NIT which would be a start, but I was confident he'd have an NCAA appearance by his 3rd season even though he inherited a pretty bad program.

What's a good NIT tourney resume?  Serious question.

Above .500 overall is a minimum, but at least 4-5 top 50 wins also.

Frank better start $hitting some Tiffany cufflinks real soon or he's gone.

Side note, but during the ISU/KU game, twice on camera Bill Self dropped the f-bomb clearly. He was hot about the lack of focus of a couple of the guys. The beginning of that timeout was on camera the whole time, and he was right in their faces. And a bit later he was very clear about telling the ref that his call was bs.

pro-tip:  Rusty has no idea if frank has been caught dropping an f-bomb on camera this season

also of note is that bill self has won the b12 10 times in a row and can do whatever the eff he wants
