Author Topic: HOW GREAT WOULD IT BE TO HAVE A LIKABLE BASKETBALL COACH? (Read 13910 times)

Everyone knows that big time college basketball is about wins and losses...performance first.

However, when you hit the "tough times," it sure would be great to have a coach who you didn't think was a an awkward, excuse-making, loathsome dork of a man.

I wish the K-State fans had a men's basketball coach they could admire, and that people respected. Like, truly respected, and didn't simply give pitiful mercy complements to. The rest of the conference is praying we have oscar forever. I would too, if I were a KU fan, for example. Most KU fans I know think it's hilarious that oscar Weber is our coach. That doesn't feel very good.

It seems like K-State fans deserve better than oscar Weber, but maybe I am wrong. Maybe K-State fans deserve oscar Weber.

Pete, I think that'd be just swell.

What would it be like to think about the K-State men's basketball coach and have a feeling of "That's our guy?" Would that be great? I think it would be great.

I would settle for enjoying watching the games again and wanting to go to a game again.

I can't muster the motivation to go, currently.

Same, but could be convinced with almost any coach change.

Pete · « **Reply #6 on:** February 28, 2016, 06:05:35 PM »

I agree

Honestly, during times like this I'd rather not like the coach. It's hard to root for somebody you like to lose his job.

Lucas Scoopsalot · « **Reply #8 on:** February 28, 2016, 07:49:15 PM »

This is honestly better for my budget. Now I can just buy football tickets and not worry about basketball tickets. My heart says new coach, but my budget says STAY oscar!

True. For whatever reason I liked Jim which caused me to have way too much patience with him. It was easy to decide that Tom and oscar needed to go.

I wish there were a hot young Yordano Ventura-ish person who was smart at basketball we could hire to replace oscar. It would be so fun.

Agreed. I just saved just under $900 by not renewing my basketball tickets for next year.

You wanna know the crazy part? Some of our fans genuinely IRL like oscar. They buy into his BS. That baffles me. It drives me up the friggin' wall I tell ya

Sadly, that was me up to about early December.

And you know what Canary? That's ok because we all know you're one cool cat. But now that we see how bad he is at coaching the fact that he's completely socially awkward and kind of a dick to his players is magnified. Like, if we were on our way to another 4 seed coming off a sweet 16, we'd be like "man that dude with the weird voice says some dumb weird crap but hey he's winning so whatevs"

I hate that he stands 8 feet on the court with his arms crossed.
I hate that he stands 8 feet on the court holding his hands in front of him.
I hate that the only mammals that understand his whiny voice are dogs and dolphins.
I hate that he ran like a dork up and down the coaches box Saturday.

And I really hate that KSU loses a lot when he's running the team.

Pete · « **Reply #18 on:** February 28, 2016, 09:06:14 PM »

I agree Stryker.

By the time we had Wooly it'd been so long since we had a good team that we didn't know any better.

Honestly the thing that I really dislike the most is the way opposing coaches fall all over themselves to compliment him. It is in every Big 12 coach's damn script.

Guess what, that is not a good thing when you are getting beat.

kso_FAN · « **Reply #21 on:** February 29, 2016, 08:45:58 AM »

I don't like they lack of responsibility. I don't mind coaches pointing out when players need to play better, but ultimately oscar is responsible. Every time he takes responsibility he seems to add some qualifier or a "I guess". This drives me nuts.

I still like Jim

Is he successful at anything? I'd like ksu to hire him for that if he is

Not really. He resigned as UCR's basketball coach, then became AD, then resigned from that. He's now AD at an even smaller school.

What about like media relations, I bet he'd be great at that
