Personally, I like the style of basketball that WSU played under Marshall. Defense first and last, rebounding, take care of and share the ball, deep roster, relatively even scoring distribution, play smart, and hustle. It’s not like it’s revolutionary or Marshall is the only guy who preaches those things but I think it’s a winning formula with the right coach and players. Chris Jans is the most obvious choice if we want to continue to see a similar style on the court.
That’s not to say other philosophies couldn’t be equally successful.Comment

No matter what coach we have, I really hope he teaches the intimidation aspect. Shocker fans are a blue-collar crowd (similar to hockey) and they enjoy the games a little physical. Suburban horse, a la BJ, would be a tough pill to swallow. Not as rough as SIU-C, but like you said, Gregg Marshall style basketball.........Originally posted by pie n eye View Post

I think you start courting Jans ASAPComment

If I were being totally honest, I would guess that Jans is cut from the same cloth as Marshall with respect to how he runs his practices. That may be a big road block. Marshall v. 2.0. Of course the fans are on board with that.Originally posted by choida View PostComment

Heard coach Jans would love the opportunity and would retire here. I believed the person who said it.

The only time I've ever seen Jans in the role of head coach was when he visited Kansas. If anything he looked more connected to his NMSU team than Marshall to his WSU teams. I'm thinking Jans may be blue collar, but blue collar in a different way. I was impressed with the way he handled himself.Comment

I watched about 20 minutes of the Creighton vs KU game and I was surprised by Creighton’s physicality and athleticism. Didn’t look much like the Valley era/early Big East type teams I remember. Big guy in the middle for KU still prob got the better of them but it was a fight at times.Originally posted by C0|dB|00ded View Post

Jans was the buffer between the players and Marshall a lot of the time. Many players have been on record stating this. I’m sure Jans throws some heat in the gym but I doubt it’s similar to Marshall’s in a cut throat way, if that’s what you’re implying.Originally posted by C0|dB|00ded View Post
Not sure there’s a better option than Jans out there.Deuces Valley.
... No really, deuces.

You don't say... must be their golden era. Maybe they make the 2nd round of the fake tournament this year. I couldn't tell you a thing about BJ or KlUck - I follow them both equally - which means not at all.Originally posted by pie n eye View PostComment

YES, if he is truly interested and if he is we might get a bargain deal of some sort. Good recruiter and coach. #1 on MY listOriginally posted by Ashockalypse View PostComment

I’ll believe it when I see it.Originally posted by C0|dB|00ded View Post
I definitely don’t “follow” either team.
I’ll catch a BJ game from time to time because they’re usually playing at 10 pm on some obscure channel.
As far as KU goes I usually only tune in if they’re losing and click away as soon as the refs help them regain the lead.
Plus I like to get a sense of what other teams look like so I can gain more perspective for how WSU looks.Comment

NDSU had KU beaten until the ref's stepped up late in the 2nd half
