He was known as THE KEY recruiter for BU. All the top50-100 BBall recruits with a Christian faith would readily consider Baylor. Drew's success & Tang's vocal faith were a match made in heaven (pun intended) which led to BU's success in getting tons of top recruits & making a run to the 'Ship. Since Tang left, BU is still very good but they've dropped just a bit & KSU is reaping the effects of getting a great recruiter but unproven HC.
Its also the annuity capitol of the world. One thing ksu does is shake the donor trees for $$$. A collective is nice but not sure $50 per month makes a difference.
Maybe there is not this much talent - coupled with the 'Tang is a worthless coach' multiplier.
I am willing to contribute to funds to retain him and Fran.
I like it too. My fear if Tang gets fired is that he will go back to Baylor as an assistant. I'd rather he be the head coach of a middling KSU team than returning & bolstering the recruiting of an already very good Baylor team.
This ain't about roundball. There's bigger dynamics at work. The players aren't working hard enough to get Tang into heaven. So, Tang's heart is not in it, and without heart there's no art.
One doesn't merely recover from a major spy scandal. If anyone is to blame it is Iowa State fans, they unleashed shuck and aww (not shock and awe) from KSU.
I hope they play Iowa in Dayton, so the two fans bases can argue about a play-in game (and both coaches are doing just enough to stick around).
Well, Dorothy was from Kansas and she managed to get a heart for someone. Tang just needs to find his Dorothy.
Agreed.
Baylor’s best years were due to mostly unheralded transfers and high school recruits
He hasn’t gone full Prohm yet, but here’s to hoping he only wins 2 games next season to do it!
