WK's longest streak of missing the NCAA Tourney

Maybe UGA will hire him...
The Hate is strong with this one.
Maybe he needs to coach where it is easy to recruit to.
Would still take him back tomorrow.
You should change your pseudonym to Saint Jude.Quote:

Also, he never made it out of the 1st weekend.Quote:

He had a much better recruiting foot print at Mississippi State. But no, Rick Stansbury?s time at MSU has passed. Cohen will find another coach to go 18-12 at best and 14-16 at worst and we will go through another 5-6 year period with Mediocre basketball. Because, MSU is a middle of the road SEC program and the money brokers are fine with that.
Why has Western Kentucky never had this problem BEFORE Stands became their coach? Those programs didnt just begin when he landed on the WK campus. WK has 23 NCAA appearances (State has 11) - 7 since 2000. This run since 2013 is by far their biggest droughtQuote:

Many don?t want to admit we haven?t had a solid floor coach since Williams. That?s what it takes to win big at State not recruiters
The bring stands back crowd is still very strong ..Quote:

17x2=34. Was this part of the creation of C34s board name? Maybe this has been discussed before.Quote:

But its more of the same. AK/Rod Barnes/Rob Evans/Stans/Howland are all essentially the same coach. They all proved that decent coaches (either floor coaches or recruiters) can produce bubble teams in Mississippi.Quote:

You have to do both to win in the SEC!
There's no improvement going from Howland to Kennedy. If a 7-year period with 1 (or 2) NCAAs and 4 (or 3) NITs doesn't cut it, why would a 12-year period with 2 NCAAs and 6 NITs?Quote:
