ExBruces 2015-16

Like, "we hoped the other team would have a letdown" is so funny. Much more entertaining than Frank blaming society for his underperforming players.

I was thinking more about this... oscar's demeanor combined with his relative success makes me question the value of pregame speeches and motivational techniques even more.

I mean he has to be among the worst in the world at motivation and coachspeak but he's far from the worst basketball coach in the world. Not even close!

Good point. Your theory about him basically being the Forrest Gump of basketball coaches is a good one too.

I was talking to my dad yesterday (he's 72) and he was going off about watching oscar on the sidelines, constantly talking to his players, telling them where to stand on defense, etc. It was funny, he can't stand him anymore.

Yeah, this drives me crazy and highlights that he isn't comfortable letting his players play. But you know if he just sat down and let them play, people would be up in arms about him not coaching enough. Similar to the reactions when Frank would call a timeout and then stare at the team for thirty seconds.

speaking of sideline stuff, why does huggs use the bar stool?

Too fat to stand.

He had hip replacement surgery a few years ago and started using it then.

When asked about why he would use a stool, he replied that it simply was an easier alternative during games.

“It was fine as long as I could sit on the stool,” he said. “I just couldn’t sit on that chair and really get up and down the way I was used to getting up and down. So the stool was great. That way I could get up and walk up and down the sideline.”

I think he's just magnified his "I do what I want" mantra. Further examples:

forgot about his hip replacement, seems to young for that

 oscar Weber says "it's not an excuse" but Claws and D.J. Johnson didn't practice this week. Hard for K-State to win with them limited.

 oscar Weber on Tennessee: "I was hoping they would have a letdown. They didn't. They took it to us."

Just read this today, this is one of the better exbruces OAT.  My god, the futility.

Going back and reading this thread is amazing. oscar never stops giving...

And I guess he was a prophet when it comes to our 3 point defense. You would think maybe they would have done some things to work on that after the problems during the tr

Also, I had almost forgotten about the Claws Caddyshack reference.

[sys]

in retrospect, it may have been a mistake to craft our 3 pt defense specifically for fiba competition.  at the very least, you can't discuss that publicly and not expect the schedulemakers to take advantage.

"Boogered" goes back a long way with oscar.

"I've never given four days (off) at Christmas but we've been so boogered up, and I just thought it would be good for them, but I don't think I'll ever do it again."

"Nino has been boogered up and has missed practice."

Ok guys, I talked to Jay Wade before the game. He said that Dean had a separation of the metatarsals. The only way it will heal is without activity. They have changed his shoes and orthotics.(sp.). He is playing through the pain and wants to help the team and he gets trashed. Those of us that know Dean, know that the Dean we have seen lately is not himself! This is no better than Scout! I expected more from you guys!

until wednesday, that was the low point of oscar's tenure. guys were boogered, marcus was on his way out, and we were about to lose to tcu in a wednesday phillips 66 game.

Even the players are saying it's on them not the coaches . All you fans that think it's 100% on the coaches think again

I think there is 1/4 blame on players ,coaches,fans, opponent

I'm not going to stalk him too much, but this guy seems to have the 180 opinion of me on almost everything K-State related.

I wish our coach would take as much accountability as Wes did.

[meow meow]

i would say the fans shoulder more than 25% of the blame.  oscar simply needs more time

[EMAWican]

Surely the AD should shoulder at least 1/15 blame?

1/15 AD, 1/5 each players, coaches, opponent, and 1/3 fans

[Dr Rick Daris]

I was talking with a guy that talks regularly with one of the players. none of them respect oscar. not shocking but still.

[#LIFE]

EXACTLY RIGHT Dave! Claws's foot probably cost Webers job. But that's the breaks of coaching.

[slackcat]

should sever the offending appendage.

While the facts and excuses comment is great, its not the best oscar comment OAT.

That award goes to the motivational wizardry of "Be outstanding, don't be out standing..."

I've seen it so many times and it never fails to put the biggest grin on my face

They chose oscar.  And now they must live with that choice.

[Bookcat]

its kinda impressive how oscar Weber has road coat tails for 20+ years in this profession and gotten incredibly wealthy with an empty rolodex.

we must live with our choices.  that's a good message of personal responsibility, 33.

what a treasure. can't recall exactly, but it's probably in here somewhere. anyone remember when oscar said something like, it's probably impossible to win at wvu but maybe we can make it close. and wvu had lost in a dogshit game to ut like a week earlier? man, that was awesome.
