I think what we have learned is that winning solves a lot of problems. But also that a coach showing respect for his players makes things better. Hoiberg shows Kane respect and then Kane shows his team respect. I have no idea what really went on at Marshall (and I doubt that you do either...you have one side of the story), but the worst thing you can say about Kane at Iowa State is that he is really fixated on winning. He praises his teammates. He works his *** off (the poor guy was pretty much exhausted on Tuesday night, but still managed to jump higher than I thought he could to grab a rebound late). Publicly, he is an ideal teammate.

Marshall board is interesting:
Scout.com: Pittman Gone
It sounds like a lot of discussions here during the "transfer away" episodes under our previous coach. Struggling program, divided fanbase, players leaving. Pretty polite to one another, but some real divides and dissatisfaction.

This is a nice discussion here as well:
Andy Katz...Herrion, MU, Kane
Apparently, Marshall's coach tipped off Jamie Dixon that he wouldn't want that troublemaker (my paraphrase) at Pitt.
Tom Herrion is joining my list of favorite coaching moves that work out for us.

There's a reason the guy you're reprimanding has been on my ignore list for quite some time.
You looked pretty silly in this thread. It happens, especially with the whole "hindsight 20-20" thing, but to make a point of coming back to the thread and act like you were right is pretty outrageous.
Interesting footnote to this story -
Marshall buys out coach Tom Herrion - ESPN
Looks like Kane's transfer ended up having a major impact at two programs.

to be fair...I think everyone here has now learned to trust Fred. On the outside and looking objectively Kane didn't look like a great target ...However we all know that he is a GREAT player and exactly what this team needed.
So, IMO, banging on posters with 20/20 vision is a bit rough.

by the same token, so is banging on prospective players before people really even have a clue.
