No worries, dude. The BID'rs VS. Webberetts is a long lasting battle. It won't be over till he's gone. It's good for the board tho. Very entertaining.
Well maybe there's room for another yet to be named paradigm, neither pro Weber nor BID. Paradigm assumes the following:
1. Frank has a limited shelf life as a coach. Despite his success his persona will wear thin on any fanbase/administration in a matter of years. Will likely spend his career jumping ship every 5 years leaving programs in better shape with tougher players than when he arrived.
i) It should also be noted that not every Frank team was the 2009-2010 team. The
on those teams were predominately Delonte's
players. Delonte left because he couldn't even get players to buy into Frank anymore, aka frank would never have another 09-10 team at kansas state ever again. That s*** sure was adorable though.
2. Following Franks departure, the Kansas State fanbase dodged a huge bullet during John Currie's "coaching search" (said search involved John locked in hotel room looking at... charts?). Weber seems to perform well when he has a good coaching staff with him. Adopters of this mindset may also be "totally cool" with Chris Lowery taking over as head coach should the occasion become necessary.
i) For consideration: If Frank didn't leave behind tough, disciplined players bonded by their own love/fear of Frank Martin, would they be willing to band together and buy into the new, incoming coach?
ii) Also for consideration: After witnessing the dodged bullet/lateral coaching move in the Mittie hire, do you really want to BID and let curry hire a new MBB coach? Better to let that son of a bitch raise money like he loves to then let him leave like he wants to when a larger school comes calling.
3. Be happy the program isn't even remotely in bad shape the way just about 60-70% of D1 programs are required to be by competition. Not every school can host competitive programs.
