Bruce Weber reminded me a lot of Paul Rhoads.
In over his head but probably a good guy who loves his players, fans, and school.

Weber wasn't great but he deserves more credit than this board gives him. He's head and shoulders above Tang as a coach.
Just watched Tang's post game presser. He was pissed. Questioned his team's effort and toughness. Said they didn't deserve to wear the KState uniform last night.
Seems like they do have some talent, but they've got a serious culture issue.

Team culture comes directly from the guy who recruits the players and installs what it means to play KSU basketball. Short of year one, this is what it's been.
Caught a segment on KC Sports Radio this afternoon where they were stating that the expect Tang to be terminated if they miss the tourney this year. That would be the third consecutive year missing the dance.
But then they went on to state the buyout at the end of this year would be $17M. I can't for the life of me imagine a school like KSU dropping that much to fire a basketball coach. Hell, that still seems like a lot to can a football coach outside of your crazy SRC schools.

Which one is Kim? Wife or sister? I googled that name and got some chick who was twisted like a pretzel.
I'll try Things That Haven't Aged Well for $1000, Alex.
So they brought in Haggerty from Memphis (supposedly the #2 transfer in the nation) on a $2 million NIL deal, plus a half million in incentives.
Putting massive financial incentives in individual player's NIL deals seems like a good way to destroy the culture in your locker room. Your stars would be more concerned about meeting their quota for points, rebounds, etc. than having their teammates' backs and winning the damn games.

KSU "Beat Reporter" John Kurtz also spread the lie online that Tang confronted TJ because fans were yelling racial slurs at the KSU bench. KSU fans were then pushing this narrative, and when Kurtz realized this was not true he tried to backtrack by saying "I'm not a reporter." Yeah, K-State fans were wild in that whole situation. They were awful and I lost any respect I had left for them.
Their On3 guy too. He was one of the main drivers of it. Continued to post stuff behind a paywall about it. Never apologized.
They did the same thing last year with Hawkins, to similar effect.
What's that quote about doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results?
Yeah, that is a great look flashing two grand in cash in you post. Klassy!
By the way, I just discovered that she blocked me on the Twitter machine. I can guarantee I never said anything out of line to her. Although I'm sure she finds any warranted criticism of her dear brother block worthy.
