Honestly, college jobs are better for him. Personality doesn't matter much when you can't recruit.

Hard to imagine him as an NBA coach. It would be like when Mike Riley went to the NFL from Oregon State.

It’s crazy that TX’s coach isn’t in the running.

Can you imagine how horrible it must feel to ask a dumb question that upsets our Coach Tang as he basks in Elite 8 glory:

This was fascinating. While he says it's just 'dudes' there is obviously a lot more layers to this.

Good read, yes.  Along those lines, what Tang says in the middle of this about himself and Ish getting on the same page:

Would love to hear more about his past interviews. Wonder who passed over him previously

idk about you guys, but i have the feeling that if i encountered Jerome Tang randomly on the street that even if i wasn't decked out in purple gear i would still like walk up to him and hug him and thank him for being who he is and just like, for everything.
And of course that's assault, and i imagine he would hug me back and be like "my brother i'm sorry that you're going to have to go to jail for this but i want you to know that i love you and i'm proud of you and i know you're going to go on to do great things because i believe in you" and then i would actually kind of feel positive about the fact that i was on my way to jail.

Just reading this in Tang's voice warmed my heart a little.

Point of personal privilege, but if anything that's battery, not assault. In any event, it would only be battery if the touching was not wanted, and I have a suspicion Tang would welcome that touching.

The retainer fee is steep, but worth every penny.  :cheers:

The Phog thinks he's already gone. Nobody with this level of success would ever stay at KSU.

Never say never I guess, but it's hard to imagine what it would take to pull him away.

When is the last time a successful head coach was poached away from K-State? Huggins didn't even make the tournament when he was here and Frank was basically run out of town.

If he leaves it won’t be because of money. The BMD demonstrated that with our offer to Brad last year.
