@dylans what about buffalo basketball coaches? (Nate Oats)
-
@approxinfinity Might be ok. Not my dream coach.
-
@dylans any coach coming off a F4 who goes out of their way to say “the only job I’d leave mine for is Kansas” gets major points with me. He’s on my short list
-
Oats, Golden and Beard. Quite the group of upstanding citizens

As long as it’s not KT, I support any changes made to the staff amd have been calling for it for awhile now.
It’s sounding like Kurtis is just going to be there until the bitter end with Bill.
KT almost went to prison for Bill. So no surprise here.
-
@BShark not sure what this grouping is coming from, but pretty sure Oats/Golden don’t deserve to be lumped in with Beard

@kuballin10 Chip Kelly, Scott Loeffler, Kane Wommack, Maurice Linguist.
Chip Kelly - head case who didn’t like dealing with donors.
Scott - another failed Eagles project?
Kane - who?
Maurice - No more Buffalo football coaches for KU!
Flawed individuals like in the transfer portal - never the cream of the crop, but a bunch of also rans who can be useful.
I was asked for examples of head coaches who left for assistant jobs. These are all really good football coaches, just tired of the head coaching grind at the G5 level, which the exception of Chip.

Oats issued zero punishment for a star player, Brandon Miller, who provided the gun used by a teammate to murder a woman. Shades of Dave Bliss and Baylor there.
Golden was accused of sending nude videos of himself, harassment, and stalking a female student at Florida. He was cleared after an investigation, but there’s controversy around that as well based on how the investigation was handled in regards to Golden’s right to privacy being violated by the group conducting the Title IX investigation. One of Golden’s assistants is also under a Title IX investigation for inappropriately grabbing a female staffer.
-
Yeah I am aware of their shortcomings, but Oats being light on punishment is the same in your mind as what Beard did? Know Golden being cleared doesn’t mean there wasn’t something going on, but even assuming everything he was accused of is true, it still falls short of being on the same level of chocking your spouse.
IMO Oats is a few tiers above Golden who is a tier above Beard.
-
Seems like I missed a lot

Simply put, yes. The Oats situation involved a person losing their life. The Golden situation is the first step to a Penn St. or Michigan St. situation and Golden not holding Taurean Green accountable for groping an employee is very telling of his character and what he’d allow to happen.
-
Ah all the bad boy coaches seem to be the best at their jobs. Coorelation?
Doesn’t seem to stop universities from giving them multi-million-dollar salaries & making them some of the highest paid state employees. Where are their morals.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 You say that like Oats was accused of being an accessory. Maybe I am not remembering it correctly but he wasn’t trying to cover up anything and had not involvement leading up to the shooting. He was just selfish in not wanting to sit his star player and hold him accountable. IDK how that is anywhere close to being comparable to direct involvement of a crime and doing so kind of minimizes the severity of Beard’s domestic assault.
I still think Beard’s is worse but can see how you could reason Golden’s is comparable so won’t argue with you there.
-
@MR11 he very easily could have put his program in serious jeopardy with his morally ambiguous actions. It’s a risky hire at the least.
-
I dont see the the Charlotte Hornets having a problem with paying Brandon Miller. Why do we expect college coaches to be held to a higher moral standard when we measure their success in Ws and Ls?
I know I’m passing the buck here, and yes, that doesnt mean he has to be our coach.
I think Self has been on board with recruiting several questionable athletes. Glad we never had a situation where a star player supplied a murder weapon right before the tournament.
-
If scruples don’t matter - Will Wade is a candidate. Just recruiting violations that are now legal if I’m not mistaken. Time served - I’m ok with this one.
Dream candidate is still a near zero chance Brad Stevens.
-
@FarmerJayhawk many a failed head coach (for a multitude of reasons - performance to stress) makes a great assistant. Spags comes to mind. Nagy not so much. I liked Brad Childress and Doc Sadler better as assistants than head coaches despite any success. Too many to name. You’re correct.
-
@dylans I agree that its not great and maybe I’m being pedantic but I would likely stop going to/watching KU games with Beard as the head coach. I don’t think the same would be true for me if they hired Oats.

I remember the Hornets catching a fair bit of flak for drafting Miller at the time.
We hold coaches to a higher moral standard because they are the public faces of universities and can have a major impact on other areas of a campus such as enrollment.
If a coach is willing to overlook, or play favorites when it comes to discipline, what else are they keeping in check within the program that could eventually blow up? Do we really want a coach who would be willing to turn a program into the 2008 Florida Gators (football) to win some extra games?
Self absolutely will take chances on players and that’s fine, that’s not the issue here. The issue and difference between Self and Oats is what happens to a player who makes a bad choice? We know Self has no issues removing problematic players from the program as we’ve seen countless times in the past, even if it negatively affects the on court product. Nate Oats doesn’t appear to be that coach and has me wondering what other skeletons might be in his coaching closet that he’s done nothing about?

If Oats isn’t willing to discipline a player involved in a murder case, what else has he let slide under his watch?
-
@MR11 What if the events in question had happened while coaching at KU? I’d have been for holding them accountable and letting them go. Then you live with the aftermath. I’d like to pass on all of that if possible.

Interesting offseason ahead fellas

A huge one, imo
I don’t wanna say it’s the biggest one but feels like the most important offseason in a decade.
-
Need to surround Peterson with talent. It’ll be nice to have some nba talent on the team again.

It’s the biggest I believe unless I’ve forgot another one. This one is staring us in the face and we have only 2 potential starters on the roster right now. I know we can fret over Coit and Jackson potentially starting but ideally neither is asked to do so.
-
With very few returning players I hope a nucleus of young talent is brought together that will carry the “Jayhawk way” forward for the next several years. Unfortunately it will more likely be a bunch of free agent hires.
While watching double A basketball (it’s more like AA baseball than the ncaa) beats the other minor leagues - Euro and G league, it’s not what it used to be. For better or worse.
-
Wouldn’t be surprised to see Peterson leading with the young returnees + Coit who seemed like a positive culture veteran. He wasn’t here last offseason and will get a chance to lead by example as the veteran in the room. I’m actually optimistic that aspect of the team will be improved with the guys who are moving on. Now if we get a bunch of Storr/Griffen types in the portal that could obviously erode my optimism, but I think we’ll see better there.
-
Apologies in advance…but if Coit is the best we can do, we’re in trouble.
I’m looking at all these big, strong guards with multiple skill sets in the tournament, and Coit just doesn’t measure up.
sure, he can hit a streaky 3, but c’mon man.
We can’t settle for guys like Coit and hope to succeed on any level moving forward.

Couldn’t agree more. It’s why I’m beating the drum on every outlet I can that we need a talent upgrade just as much as we needed a roster reset. They aren’t talented/good enough and with all of coach’s resources that’s on him and his staff.
-
Like, what are we talking about with Coit? He’s fine as the 8th pr 9th guy. Obviously you can’t start him at this level.

Just wait to see Bill do just that next year. Other board saying he already has a leg up on Elmarko
-
@kuballin10 I agree with you BShark I think Diggy is just fine when he comes back coming off the Bench a that relief guy. He did well last night filling in for Juan picked up that 2nd foul early - -Nobody talking about him starting
-
@SlimShaddy54 They are on the other site……and everyone is much like they should asking wth would diggy even be considered as a starter over a transfer or Elmarko
Bill played 3 big men this year - two which can only dunk
Him starting diggy next to dp early on because diggy knows his system and does well in practice seems like a foregone conclusion at this point. I wouldn’t put anything past Self

I don’t think they will be banking on Coit, he’s not even supposed to be here next yr but the recent juco ruling gives him the opportunity to play another yr. His size and weaknesses are certainly an issue but if he’s in the same role as this yr I have no problem. Remember he was a late signee to begin with. He could always improve, seen plenty of guys his size impact the game. Big offseason for him as well

Won’t happen.
-
Just a general statement on Coit type players.
We need bigger, better to get back into upper echelon status.
I hope he and others like him are an afterthought in future recruiting.

Yeah it’s time to get back to the bigger guards in the Tyshawn model.
-
Agree we lack size and athleticism and it’s been the issue for years now and doesn’t get corrected
-
@kuballin10 I would bet the farm he ISN’T starting Diggy. If you even give that a 2nd thought of being true I got some swamp land in Florida for sale would love to sell you
