Ford kind of reminds me of Fran McC now. Like, you're probably going to make the tourney every other year. Maybe once in a while you'll win a game but that's about peak.

Some game I flashed by last night Sean Miller got tangled up in a play along the sideline and they didn't do anything about it.
Textbook example:
"Grasping at straws" is an idiom that means making desperate but futile attempts to escape from a problem or find a solution when nothing you choose is likely to work. It implies a sense of hopelessness or a last-ditch effort.
Ya. Tang seems more like a Prohm. More of a ‘oh ****, we definitely don’t have a coach that can do this’ kind of situation. Hopefully he can tread water for a couple more years.
No they wouldn’t help much. It seems obvious the internal pressure and locker room are about ready to collapse in on themselves. May as well happen on Sunday.
For as bad of a coach Prohm was, at least he was truly a nice guy. Tang is a bad coach and also an ***.
Ironically they run the exact same offense. Not shocking to anyone, I'm sure.
I was just going to say you can trace the moment the ship really started sinking back to that one night in Ames.
Tang and staff truly believing that you can gain an advantage by taking a cell phone video from 25 feet away (wouldn't be able to hear anything with the band/other crowd noise), relaying it to a staffer, then TJ to analyze, draw up a play, and communicate said play to players, all within a 2 minute timeout, should tell you all you need to know about who Tang and Co. are. That doesn't even acknowledge the fact that basketball huddles are more about general coaching points of "rebound better, push it more." They are clowns.
Noticed that Fitz, while skeptical, never stated unequivocally that Tang's claim of ISU cheating was a bunch of bullsh*t.
Oh well, it's nice to see he's given us credit for breaking KState.
That had more to do with Boone Pickens liking Ford than anything else. If you have a guy like that as a donor, you let it ride.
In somewhat fairness to Tang, who IS ineligible these days? We got NBA guys signing up, 30 year olds suing to come back for year 8, etc.
I will be disappointed if we don't roll out Monte, Georges, and Rob Jones for the NCAA tournament.
He is basically saying Tang was an idiot for making the claim and it's in his DNA to get distracted and blame others.
He didn't need to spell it out simplistically
Fitz took a major shot at Tang.
His exact words were "At the time, I wanted to believe Jerome Tang, I really did. But the way things have fallen apart since then, I don't know if it's true or not."
Obviously, he took a shot at Tang for making such a wild accusation after they lost, but he also left open the possibility that ISU was indeed cheating that day. It doesn't bother me too much because I know Fitz is a KState homer, but it's funny to me that he doesn't just come out say Tang's accusation was completely false.
Not just false, but preposterous. How do you get the meat of a timeout discussion on video, get the video to the ISU huddle, watch it to glean useful information, formulate a plan to counteract any useful information gleaned, and communicate that information to your team during a 2 minute timeout? It can't be done and would be more of a distraction than at all useful if anyone tried. Anyone with half a brain knew right away that it made zero sense.
That could also be just a polite way of saying it's complete BS, but not wanting to outright call Tang a liar.
