hate to say it. If he gets some four and five star kids ever. Watch out
Bruce Webber can coach
- Thread starter Knownothing
- Start date
Never heard of him
If Bruce WeBer got five star kids it’d mean Ja$on Capel is his assistant and they’d transfer after a year

Because he can beat a 16 seed?
He’s solid at beating teams he should beat. Yes, does mean he can coach. If he’s going to get my vote as a top tier coach, he has to win the big ones against top level competition.
He's always been a really good coach just not a great recruiter. I don't know why anyone would still be making fun of his coaching abilities after this year.
Weber has been to a Final Four, won the B1G twice, shared in the B12, won the MVC. He can coach when he has talent. The knock on him is that he can't recruit and has a hard time keeping good players, but obviously he's built KSU into a pretty good squad.
They will probably be top 3 in the B12 next year. He takes a lot of heat, and I'm not sure why.

Beat McDoormat and the 16 seed which was clearly out of gas. Golf clap.
It seemed that most of his success at Illinois was with Self’s recruits, and he did well with Frank’s players at the start of his KSU tenure.
I will admit he’s proven me wrong this year. With everyone back they’ll be a tough out next year.

Keep in mind that his squad is the first one ever to play a 16 seed in the round of 32. And that 16 seed was still a 16 seed for a reason, whether they caught lightning in a bottle once or not.
This is the 3rd school he's taken to a Sweet 16. He's not Bill Self, but he's a pretty good coach.
That's like saying "I'm a really good driver, I just don't know how to operate the gas pedal." In college recruiting is part of the coaching job. If you're not a good recruiter you're not that good of a college coach.
He can recruit, but not if the expectation for the program is to be something they’re not (Illinois). He consistently finds overlooked guys that can play at a high P5 level, so he’s the perfect recruiter for Kansas St.
I think you’re correct in that guys tune him out because he’s weird as ****
Look at Drew’s two Elite Eight runs at Baylor. Most programs have their best runs when facing a favorable draw.
Jesus.
Iowa State fans in a nutshell:
Steve Prohm beats a double digit seed to get to sweet 16: it barely counts. They only had to beat a 13 and a 12. (Never mind they EARNED the right to play the 13). A sweet 16 only counts if you beat a 1 snd a 2.
Bruce Weber beats a 16 seed to get to the sweet 16: Bruce is the best coach ever. I mean that win against UMBC was a thing of beauty.
For once, I wish we’d hold our coaches to the same standard as we hold others.
