Consider two small things.
1. Angel Rodriquez
2. Marcus Foster
If Angel had not decided to transfer, and Marcus had not decided he had made it, oscar Weber would now be one of the best coaches in K-State history. Curse Weber's coaching all you like. Tell me he can't win with his own players. Perhaps, you think he practices our guys too hard. You may despise his blow by handshake after losing. One thing you cannot deny, however, is that he was very close to having a great run at K-State. I won't even list the many injuries that have plagued Weber since he took over. We have a critical one (Dean) just this year when we were on the verge of making a lot of pundits eat some crow. DJamer's foot injury, a Weber recruit and one of the better post players we've had in years, which has plagued him ever since it occurred In his freshman year; Spradling's sternum injury that severely hampered him; Stoke's knee injury; Diarra's knee injury; Love's foot injury; William's foot injury; Dean's pneumonia.
Dare I mention the Kentucky fiasco that, most likely, kept Weber from getting some NCAA wins. Kentucky, probably the second best team in the country, that year, decided to play around the first half of the season and, because of this, was seeded 8th in the tournament. Who got the shaft on this one?
I apologize for the long rant, but I just had to say something.
Tiny distinction between Angel and Marcus...the former was blackmailed into staying for oscar's first year (remember Leti Romero?) and the latter was dismissed because oscar Weber cannot manage the egos of top flight talent, as his career has exhibited.
