I loved stans but it doesnt change the fact that he lost control of the program.
It is what it is.

Some MSU fans have a hard time letting go. Doesn't mean Stansbury wasn't bad. It just means that like most people it was time for him to move on.
If you're a coach at MSU and you win the SEC you're probably going to be set for life in the eyes of some of our fans and that's not a good thing because the reality is coaches in sports have a shelf life and then it's time to move on. Same with any coach at any level basically.

This thread is a joke just like Howland and this Moorhead Shitshow he is running. i could get pickup game players and compete better than this team!

Might be easier to move on if our program hasn’t been shitty to average since we booted Him. Say what you want but if we had left Rick alone we would have been to many post seasons and would have continued to wax that Rebel ass.

Except probably not. The trajectory of the late Stansbury years in no way supports that the last 5 years would have been as good as Howland's 5. Although to be fair, we would probably have been much better in Ray's 3 years.

MSU doesn't give two shits about basketball. Howland isn't good (glad everyone else is finally getting on board with that), but our program is dead by our own doing. Other than hiring Ray, we hired a guy to get us back on the map, but he's done all he can do. He's got little left in the tank. The Hump should be imploded. It's a terrible venue and facility. It's a eyesore on campus. We keep patchworking it to death. We forced out the students with the awful seating arrangements. Basketball is well behind football and baseball in importance to MSU. We're getting what we put into it.

Howland has nothing left, but he has made us decent after the death penalty imposed by hiring Rick Ray. That is the single worst hire in MSU history. Having said that, the truth of the matter is no one wants this job. Its a dead end and coaching searches showed how little interest there was after Stansbury.

Jesus.
Firing Stans didn't destroy our program. Hiring Rick Ray did that job.
If anything, we waited too long to get rid of Stans. I wish we would've encouraged him to take that Clemson job when he was courted.

We've only had 1 coaching search and that was when we were labeled "the most dysfunctional program in the country". Howland was delivered to us on a silver platter and was done before we pulled the trigger on Ray

Stands hasnt coached an NCAA Tourney game as a HC since 2009

This is very accurate. College basketball in itself is going down the drain imo. Poor quality product due to overrated selfish players, the aau system, and kids more worried about getting to the league early.

You guys still watch MSU men's basketball?????! Lol

I think the bottom was going to fall out anyway and then it would have been like Jackie's last three years.
Common theme here- MSU replacing a coach with a shitty one. Curious to see how Stricklin handles a major hire at Florida.
