I understand we are on break and the game is tomorrow, but there may not be 5 people at the bball game right now. It looks ridiculous. Hey, at least Malik's coming!!1***********

Stricklin set our men's basketball program back decades with his sloppy firing of Stansbury and hiring of Ray. When I was at State, the Hump was full and rocking for almost every game. Now we don't draw flies. It's sad really.
Basketball should be a revenue sport. For this reason alone, Scott should fire Ray. If Scott refuses to fire Ray, fire scott
Five guys I hope are on the list:
Michael White
Jeff Neubauer
Bryce Drew
Steve Prohm
Ray Harper
Surely one of them would return a call.
how have we gotten worse? i honestly cannot connect the mental dots to how a talentless, beat-up team with 5 or 6 scholarship players under rr in year one is somehow better than a talentless, more healthy, yet still beat-up team with double the scholarship players under rr in year 3.
what a port-a-jon fire.

I wouldn't worry about where someone went to college if I was looking for a coach. As for White taking it - it depends on what else is out there.
Students get free pizza if they go. They don't go.
I'm being dead serious. Free pizza. They still don't go.
I like how everybody blames Stricklin for the Ray hire and if it wasn't for him, we would have a great coach. Yall do realize that about 15 coaches told us no. Yall do realize that our bball program is a VERY undesirable job for numerous reasons and strick was reaching to the bottom of the barrel because nobody wanted the job. Yall do realize that he was forced to fire stans because of the alum unrest. It's not strick's fault, it's our moronic delusional fans that somehow thought we should be better than we were and we could easily attract a better coach. You have only yourselves to blame for this **** storm.
We were turned down by so many coaches we had to get the 2nd-3rd assistant at Clemson? Yeah, uhhh... I'm not buying that. Robert Kirby would've taken the job and we'd be better off with him
Well ...
Just looking at our history, who knows 'how long' it might take to 'recover ?' I started to come to MSU Basketball games in the mid '60's and in that ~50 year period, we have had ONLY ONE coach with a 'winning SEC record' longer than one year.
Joe Dan Gold 5 Years .364
Kermit Davis 7 Years .349
Ron Greene 1 Year .722
Jim Hatfield 3 Years .349
Bob Boyd 5 Years .322
Richard Williams 12 Years .441
Rick Stansbury 14 years .545
Rick Ray 2 Years .166

First 'Rule' every ...
good AD MUST follow is ... you never ever fire a coach UNLESS you have a back-up plan to replace him.

15 coaches? I never knew. This isn't being combative- but could you name them- even 10 would be great. I would like to know who turned us down to see where they are instead.
We had multiple assistants on our own staff that would have been better choices who wanted the job.
Throw in there the widely accepted rumor that Scott had all but hired Payne until he got cold feet, we had choices. He chose wrong.
