Isaac Brown: Head Coach

[Stickboy46]

Not going to lie, this caught me off guard and really surprises me. It's definitely a plus for the program having him on the bench.

Agreed, having someone with his level of knowledge on the bench can only help.

[shock]

Kennedy had a few NBA players at Texas A&M.

Does IB still get the plane? Or is that verbotten during the pandemic?

All in-person recruiting is suspended until May 31 - that's the last I heard at least.

I confirmed with Wichita State assistant coach Billy Kennedy today that he indeed plans to return with the Shockers for the 2021-22 season. He has been a mentor to Isaac Brown who also brings a wealth of experience as a Division 1 head coach.

Has it been confirmed whether they will run an offense this year?

[shockerfan]

Yeah Kennedy has a year scouting the American and getting to know the program. What the needs are...etc. He got thrust into this last minute also. He will continue to be very valuable on the bench IMHO

This is nothing but a good thing for the Shox! Glad he is sticking around!

[Rocky Mountain Shock]

Surprised and relieved ACBK is sticking around. What a great situation for the program and for HCIB to have that caliber of assistant.

[wufan]

Exactly! I'd be in the NBA now except they changed balls on me during the tryouts! Damn you, UA!!!!
Wait; what ball did TP use in college vs HS? Maybe that explains it! He's in the portal looking for a school with Spalding balls.

A women’s ball.

I don’t think continuity can be overstated whether it’s the team or coaching staff. We haven’t had both in an off season for a couple years. I’m excited to see what it means for next year.

[WeWillShockU]

Yeah. They could schedule Ft Hays State again.

Ouch

[shock]

Only twice has BK stayed with a program as an assistant for more than one year-
91-93 at Creighton with Rick Johnson
93-97 with Todd Bozeman (93-96) and Ben Braun (96-97)

Who asked if he cared about playing them? Maybe he should care.. because you know.. they're on the freaking schedule. I would've thought that would've been talked about the last year before it actually became official last fall. Did he just forget about it like he forgets to put certain players into games?

IDGAF about playing K-State. But a Big 12 team got put on the schedule from this state for the first time in nearly 20 years and was talked about a lot in the fall... to not knowing anything about it? I hope whatever recruit he was infatuated with on the brain during the coach's show was one he actually lands since it caused severe clouded memory during that hour in the public eye.

Fever, nothing to bust Boatright on this week so you have to bust IB's chops? You need a life. SERIOUSLY. You are such a tough guy behind a keyboard and a monitor. You fatigue most of us with your negativity.

Maybe he misspoke. Maybe he forgot. Maybe he really didn't know. Maybe who freaking cares? It wouldn't surprise me if K-State would want to delay the series a year or two. They are that bad.

IB is doing a good job. Just leave him alone.

[TheShockMarket]

So now KState is a Q1 game. **** is deep in here

Hey...they snuck in the top 200 of the NET this year, give them some credit!

Of course, if it were Kansas University instead, I'm sure Brown would have had that one circled. Not so with KSU. Unless K-State improves, we just added another ECU to the schedule.

Good for the state of Kansas but that's about it.

His life has changed quite drastically since those days, especially his health situation. He may not longer be interested in the stress and expectations that come with a head coaching job so may not be interested at this point in climbing the ladder.

Isn't he in the early stages of Parkinson’s?
