WKU fires Stanbury

[wccat]

Oh sorry, parting ways!!

 

[Randy Bob]

Good to see he has not did much since coming to WKU, the way is supposed to be you don't win you are fired everybody but Cal.

Really surprised Stansbury didn't have more success at WKU. Seems to be a job he was made for. Will be interesting to see who they go for now. Not the worst job but, not a terribly attractive one either.

Kermit Davis will be in play there . Just recreate what he did @ Middle Tennessee..

So half of the teams Louisville beat this year have canned their coach.

Possibly Chris Holtmann.

At least my alma mater has some standards.

No.... It took Kermit 9 years to make the NCAA when he was at MTSU. These guys fired Ray Harper for making the tourney twice in 4 years.

Will Wade is the guy they say ,and that’s taking a big chance. He’s accused of paying players out of his own pocket and lying about it . He’s on recorded audio talking about it and the case hasn’t been settled . No telling how long he gets suspended

Very curious to see who the smart money is on for this job. At one time, WKU was a very attractive non P-5 basketball school. Hope they get someone who really moves the needle.

Jones said on KSR the other day that Will Wade to Western may be in the works.

Yeah, I saw that and started a thread. I'll not send them another red cent if that happens.

Damn, standards have gone to waste. Everyone willing to sell their souls.

I will not root for WKU if they hire Wade. Absolute scum bag douche

 

[cat888]

Will they consider bringing Horn Back, he has done a good job at Northern Ky. or would he consider going back?

I wouldn't.

I mean WKU got rid of Harper and he made the tourney 2 out of his four seasons.


Athletic Directors have to be intelligent right? Because man it sure seems they make dumb decisions.....ALL the TIME!

They should.

 

[wccat]

I guess it won’t be Wade

McNeese State

Tom Crean is finished. He had an entire roster transfer, he can’t coach in the new era. Nobody worth their salt is going to risk it. He didn’t evolve.

Western at least is showing they have some standards. UK not so much. Sad day.

Hey Rick, I happen to know of a sweet Assistant Coaching gig that just came open…

Harper got 2 16 seeds, which wasn't ideal for doing anything. His teams were never consistent and the last straw was his inability to keep recruits on campus, largely for disciplinary reasons. I supported WKU pulling the plug when they did.

I thought Stansbury was going to take off after the NIT final four in 2018 but he could never win the conference tourney. Wku choked it away 2 years ago too against North Texas in the last 2 minutes.

Not sure who the next hire should be but WKU should bet on an up and comer, not a retread or has been. Conference USA will be stronger in basketball next year too but it'd be better on the whole for WKU to get back to the Sun Belt or hop to the MAC.
