It’s time to have a conversation about Jerome Tang

[GregKSU1027]

Guys I think we got played, last night is the 2nd to worst non con game I have ever seen in that building. We have to do something. I am afraid we paid all this money to strike out on not only transfers but next year’s recruiting class.


This model of basketball is unsustainable for us. I would like to think Jeromes seat is at least warm after yesterday’s poor performance.

if this is true, we are in big trouble Greg because this is how basketball works now. I disagree though.

Tang. Unapologetically.

Man the meltdowns on Twitter about this game were/are wild. I would imagine if the football team hadn't lost to Houston, or had won a game since then to get the taste out of our mouths, our fanbase wouldn't be freaking out so much.

I just laughed at the tweets, they were so outlandish it was hard to take any of it seriously. I haven't been to KSO today, but I can't imagine those psychopaths taking it well.

The product on the court doesn't look very good right now but it's dumb to say Tang is a fraud.  I'm surprised how bad at rebounding and defense we are given that's kind of this staffs calling card. The good news is the talent is there to make a nice season happen he just needs to coach them up.

[MakeItRain]

I don't think we're bad at defense, but we're definitely bad at rebounding and it sounds like the staff knows it. This team isn't much different than a lot of the Baylor teams were. We have an entire roster comprised of tweeners, so with that performances are going to be really matchup dependent. I think we are built well to play against teams like KU and Iowa State, who have a good bit of size and skill. Teams that just chuck it up on the rim and go get it are clearly going to be a problem for us. Styles make fights and if we were in the SEC we'd be mumped.

I think simultaneously giving up a ton of offensive boards and also having a ton of turnovers and rebounds that lead to easy runouts in transition is a particularly bad combo to have. We had 7 turnovers and gave up 13 points off them. That's crazy.

Yeah, again, it's game 3. My outlook on basketball is let me know what they look like starting the end of December. This is glorified practice for the next 6 weeks. And it's been like that not just with Tang but Weber and Frank. We've never been great out the gates. All these issues sound fairly solvable too, we make it sound like we lost by 20 to a mid major.

losses like this happen to basically everyone outside of the top 10. And it will happen even more when basically every high major roster has 10 new players every year.

just a public service announcement to say that it was also only game three for LSU

we aren’t “built” to play against anyone particularly and if we played KU last night they would have beat us by 50.

lastly, don’t accuse me of melting down just because i’m calling out that there’s a coaching problem with this program.

i think a shakeup on the coaching staff is definitely needed if we don't make the tourney again, not tang, but an assistant for sure

[sonofdaxjones]

Imagine watching that pile of hot garbage last night . . . and then being upset that people called it a pile of hot garbage

Maybe K-State Family is where some of you should be instead of this blog

You can recognize the outcome of the game was not ideal and still think Jerome will get the ship right.

unless I missed something, and it's entirely possible, these seem strawman'y. The reaction in this thread are to people saying that Jerome Tang's seat is warm and people on twitter saying worse. I don't think you'll see any reaction to acknowledging that last night was rough ridin' terrible.

[sonofdaxjones]

I give the ship righting a coin flip chance.

which is fair and reasonable

yeah I’m not saying burn it down either. there’s just no excuse for what we saw last night, none. 

more troubling for me is that we saw these same weaknesses in last year’s team and chalked them up to a variety of reasons, my own theory last season was that TP was playing out of position and then some weird injuries never really let the team gel.

maybe what we are seeing is that some coaches have adapted to the portal era and others haven’t.
