We read a lot of posts that try to equate the player mutiny, which happened under Coach Martin, to the transfers taking place this year. We are asked, "what's the difference?" I thought the difference was sufficiently explained but the posts continue. I thought I'd try another approach since some seem to believe that Nigel, Jevon and, possibly, Malek are leaving because of Coach Weber.
Let's say that Nigel, Jevon and Malek really want to stay at K-State but they simply can't stand Weber. Why didn't they band together and make a stand like their predecessors did with Martin? With all the fans, who have never liked the Weber hire; and now with all these fans being lathered up into a frenzy by Marcus and Tre's dismissal; wouldn't it have behooved them to take a stand? They would have had a good amount of sympathy from the malcontents.
We have several explanations, here.
1. One, or more, really didn't want to be in Manhattan, with, or without, Weber.
2. One, or more, wanted to be here, even with Weber, but thought the incoming commits were good enough to
get substantial minutes.
3. They didn't think their on court performance warranted a challenge against the Athletic Department. In other
words, their absence would not cause next year to be worse than this year.
For all, who care to consider this with reason instead of emotion, please understand. The player mutiny, under Frank's tenure, took place because numerous, solidly, performing players took a stand. Some want to claim it was only two players. You know better than this. They took the stand because their departure would have crippled the program for the next few years. One does not undertake such a risky challenge unless one has numbers and strength...bargaining power if you will.
Please read and understand.
