Is Weber out a KSU?

[iowa_wildcat]

Bruce Weber is receiving a $1M gift to retire.

 

[Drew0311]

My prediction is they go after Tang and when Tang says no, they go after the North Texas coach.

 

[davegilbertson]

Can I confess that I don't think Surly's takes are that bad? I've only been paying attention the last year or so though.

 

[Cyrealist]

Would ISU fire a coach with Weber's record? I'd like to think "no".

 

[Gunnerclone]

He could be building a MVC powerhouse at Drake and waiting for Creighton or Iowa to open up.

That’s going to be a lot harder with an already 1 bid league being degraded even more with Loyola peacing out.

I can’t believe Bruce Weber spent 10 years wandering around the court in live ball situations and never once got trucked.

 

[GMackey32]

That’s going to be a lot harder with an already 1 bid league being degraded even more with Loyola peacing out.

Yeah I think he can run that league though. But I can also see him taking the KState job. He worked for Dana Altman at Creighton and Altman coached at KState so there's a small connection there.

 

[ISUChippewa]

Bummed to see Weber go. His whiny press conferences, obnoxious voice yelling at his players being heard even on the TV broadcast and his constant meandering out on to the court will be missed.

You write this as if you feel that Big 12 fans really enjoy seeing Bill Self's face get red as a fire truck when he screams at the officials during KU games.

Loyola leaving would have hurt more if it weren't for Murray State and Belmont coming in to replace them.

Altman left K-State… for Creighton.

Better bet: Drake starts running the conference or Murray comes in and runs the conference?

I think it's going to be wide open. Murray State is a great mid-major program and a terrific addition, but the MVC is a step up from the OVC. Running a new conference right away won't be easy.

Right. Which Darian may lean on Altman to make a decision.

Not to mention that UNI may have righted their ship as well...that league is pretty even when it comes to the "top tier" schools...so it won't be easy for anyone to dominate it (it would have been interesting to see if Loyola would have continued their run but even then they finished 4th in this strange year).

Long long time ago though...I hate to admit how well I recall Altman being at KSU (I am getting old)!

 

[BryceC]

I got a kick out of teasing the guy but he was a good dude and by any measure was a success at KSU. Good job by him.

 

[isufbcurt]

Why would he resign? Make them fire you and get the full payout.

 

[Acylum]

Lick will have a big say who runs the MVC when he gets things rolling.

 

[1UNI2ISU]

Neither. It'll rotate around whichever program has the oldest roster between those two, UNI, Belmont, Bradley and Murray just like the Valley always has.

I bet he still gets the full payout, just like we gave Mac when he resigned.
