Basketball Update- Stands is now 10-9 at WK

[Coach34]

He is now the worst modern history coach at Western Kentucky. He has to win the Conference Tourney to make the NCAA Tourney. Expect a firing before long

[Schultzy]

He has Standing offers at Butler and Xavier.

Well played lennie

[Tater]

Glad to see you comment on a C USA team's game but nothing to say after we win the declared must win.

Sucks for you that you don't get to be miserably correct tonight about not liking a coach ! Great thread. Very helpful for the board !

[Quaoarsking]

He is now the worst modern history coach at Western Kentucky.

He's 113-69 (.621) and 60-32 (.652) in conference. His predecessor Ray Harper was 90-63 (.588) and 42-34 (.553) there.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Harper also had 2 NCAA appearances in 5 seasons at WKU. Stans has 0 at WKU.

Interesting. Don't understand the Stans hate. He is a good coach. Imagine his record would be a little better if he had Tolu.

So you're saying he's coming home after Howland retires*

[msstate7]

The stars are aligning it seems if your howland info is correct.

C34 still has a strong troll game haha

Interesting.. That would put his run now at 8 straight years ( not counting covid year )
Yeah the natives there have to be getting very restless because
Outside of la tech and uab that’s a rather shitty league

[confucius say]

What a weird, obsession-based thread.

[PGHBulldogBG]

So you're saying he's coming home after Howland retires*

That would be a nightmare. I hope you are only saying that to rile 34 up

[msstate7]

If howland does retire, I think I'd at least interview Casey Alexander at Belmont

[confucius say]

Harper also had 2 NCAA appearances in 5 seasons at WKU. Stans has 0 at WKU.

Both of which were bc he won the conference tourney. But he has won less than Stans as pointed out above.

Nobody goes to the ncaa tourney at WKU without winning the conference tourney. It's happened once in 35 years and not at all in 28 years, and you have to go back 7 coaches for the last time it happened.

If we are going to say all that matters is ncaa appearances, which is fine, we are also saying Stans time at state (6 in 14 years) >>> better than anybody in modern history.

[confucius say]

I could see that.
Greg Marshall still intrigues me.

[msstate7]

I'd hire Greg Marshall or Rick pitino in a second, but not sure cohen has no shame like me haha

[Ari Gold]

C34 is the puppet master when it comes to bringing out the passion and motivation of the Rick Rowdies..

All that matters in any SEC Athletics is NCAA Tournament Championships, Appearances, Playoffs, New Years 6 Bowl Games and CWS. Liberty Bowls and NIT games are for bottom feeders.
Howland and Stansbury both have the same issue when they need to win a game
that they should win they usually dont.

Your last sentence doesn't jive with your first.
If ncaa tourney appearances matter, and I agree they do, stans had 6 in 14 years.

Steve had some comments on fridays show that were interesting to me, bc I don't think he goes rogue off message often. He was saying that with no consequences for pearl and will Waide, that it may be time to dip our toe in that water and not be afraid of baggage when hiring a basketball coach. Thought that was interesting.

Stans didnt ?retire ? from MSU because of his teams on court performances even though his last two seasons were not very good. MSU 2012 -2013 was going to be bad no matter who was coaching

What was Marshall's firing about?

[Leeshouldveflanked]

What was Marshall's firing about?
Physical and verbal abuse of players.

[confucius say]

Physical and verbal abuse of players.

So basically Hevesy but could recruit and win.

[msstate7]

The question now is can a softer Marshall still effectively coach

[confucius say]

And if he's interested in coaching again. He got 8 million from wich state when he left.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Only thing about Marshall hes late 50s age wise.

[confucius say]

Doesn't bother me about his age. He can be good 7-10 more years. He's 3 years younger than Bruce pearl.

[BrunswickDawg]

Only thing about Marshall hes late 50s age wise.

Pitino is 5 years older than Howland.

[msstate7]

It wouldn't surprise me at all if OM makes a run at Marshall or pitino. If they can get one, let Kermit go

[R2Dawg]

Your last sentence doesn't jive with your first.

True and probably got shafted a couple times too. The SEC had such a bad rep then even though it still had some good teams at the top.

[Quaoarsking]

Harper also had 2 NCAA appearances in 5 seasons at WKU. Stans has 0 at WKU.

That's how it goes in the 1-bid leagues. It all comes down to the Conference Tournament.

Stans has consistently had WKU near the top of the conference, and that's the best way to evaluate a non-major coach.

[basedog]

Didn’t Kermit sign an extension before the season?

[Percho]

So you're saying he's coming home after Howland retires*

*One can only hope so, Jack!

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Didn’t Kermit sign an extension before the season?
Yep.

[msstate7]

Didn’t Kermit sign an extension before the season?

Maybe they won't then. Didn't realize he was extended

[Coach34]

hahaha. Guaranteed 2 pages every time

[PGHBulldogBG]

In Howlands defense, SEC basketball is a completely different animal now than it was during the Stansbury era. Stansbury got to face Auburn, LSU (outside the Davis year), a bad Arkansas and alabama team and an average Ole Miss team twice a year. Then in the East UF was a power and UK was down for traditional UK. Tenn was solid with Pearl, but UGA and USC were terrible. The fact that Stansbury out recruited everyone else in the west at the time with maybe the exception of Arkansas here and there he should?ve always won the west and been the third or fourth place team in the conference based on talent. Stansbury was a great coach for us until about 2010ish. You can see the wheels falling off after the Jamont Gordon team. While I liked him in the early to mid 2000s, I would never want him back here as head coach

[BiscuitEater]

Hate ... Like clockwork!

[OLJWales]

And if he's interested in coaching again. He got 8 million from wich state when he left.

Mindboggling considering it's Witch State.

[OLJWales]

34 be having "Miss Me Btch?" Nightmares.
