Someone asked why KSU sent someone to the middle of the court during timeouts, the KSU writer for the KC Star had an explanation.

But teams, including K-State, always send someone to midcourt during timeouts to keep an eye on the other team so they can relay lineup information back to the head coach. If a team was obtaining that kind of information early, that could theoretically help them on a few possessions each game. That can make a difference in Big 12 games, which are always battles.

Not sure I've ever noticed that in 40 years of watching and attending games.

So, let me get this straight, KSU and their fans are saying that ISU planted people behind the KSU bench to steal signals during timeouts and then relay the information to the ISU bench so TJ would have the team prepared for what KSU was going to do?

So, let's look at this logically, say that ISU did have someone behind the bench listening or recording what KSU was doing, that person would then have to go over to the ISU bench and relay that information, or phone that over, which would be difficult because phones tend not to work in Hilton. The person that receives the message then relays that to the coaching staff and then to TJ to instruct the players how to respond, all within 30 seconds to a minute, while also talking about what defense we are in or what play we want to run on the next play.

This is just beyond crazy, KSU lost, the refs sucked the whole game against both teams, better to forget about it and just move on.

The staff WIFI in the lower bowl is bad. Source: I use it during Wrestling Duals with 1/3rd the amount of people and it’s still slow.
If they were really doing this, they’d have a hidden private network that only they would be using I’d assume.

The bolded is a flat-out lie. The K-State manager was the only one I've EVER seen go that far away from the bench area -- and yes, there is a by-rule bench area even during timeouts.

I think the writer was saying both KSU and KU do this, not ISU is the way I took it, but I did not copy that part of the article. My fault.

As an employee I can see all networks. There's only two networks. 1 for reporters, 1 for staff.
That’s not how it works, a hidden WiFi network doesn’t broadcast it’s existence. You have to know it’s there. It’s not like they’d have tech services set up a cheating network for them.

You can not broadcast an ssid though so it wouldn’t show up on your list.
What part of "I'm staff" do you not understand?

He's saying a bunch of teams send people out to midcourt. That is blatantly false.

The only true part is having someone assigned to figure out which of the opposing 5 are in the game.

Tang's voice must carry quite well in a loud arena where people a few rows back can hear what he is saying while in huddle with his players. And that's assuming Tang is facing the bench.

This whole claim is absurd and hilarious at the same time.
