Who should be Wichita State's Head Coach?

[MikeKennedyRulZ]

Have to respectfully disagree media blowing out of proportion. One dead another shot. Not your garden variety cbb story. But hey the consensus on here seems to be no big deal. Bet GH not thinking the same.

They are over exaggerating GH’s role in “evading” the police. They are trying to cancel him for absolutely no reason other than he was looking out for the interests of his team. Let’s also not forget that while certainly not innocent, Peake was the one ambushed and attacked.

No big deal. But not for what happened prior to team leaving. Police could have held any player they wanted, but if the player was free to leave, then no mistake. The weapon was retreaved, if I understood the facts.

The big big deal is whether this kid or some kids were “thugs” or not. Then you get into recruiting.

I don’t know but Ricky Council is the best player on the ninth ranked team in the country. I’m glad we hired the coach that kept the team together.

I’m agreeing Brown’s not the guy. But hard to blame him when every coach is going to have to re-recruit their one players year on year, and we didn’t have NIL established. Word is Ricky was getting big dollars.

but again, Browns not the guy. Ready for him to be gone asap.

He probably didn’t help by having him coming off the bench even if Ricky played more minutes than Joe I think?

Some day I'm going to tell my grandkids the story about Joe Pleasant starting over RC4.

that was also dumb. Pleasant contributed nothing. Brown has made weird decisions on players from day 1

Hey, XB is a starter.

In an interview Council used the word "accountable" as one of the reasons he transferred. Pure speculation on my part, but observation and interviews seem to support my speculation.

Council probably figured out he could do anything he wanted in practice and not get his butt reamed. That kept him out of games because IB played the guy who was worthless, but more disciplined in practice.

Then Council figured out he could do anything he wanted in games and not get benched. He probably noticed that Etienne was getting the same treatment, except Etienne got game time regardless of his practice habits. That whole situation may have had something to do with Dennis' apparent lack of confidence or caring. The moment he got out of Wichita, he became an efficient offensive player.

At that point Council probably figured he was playing for a coach that had no chance to improve his draft status or the teams' performance and realized getting out of Wichita was vital to his NBA hopes.

IB was hopelessly unqualified to handle and discipline players like Etienne and Council. IB seems to have figured some of that out this year, but the damage has been done.

I think both Council and Etienne needed and wanted a coach more interested in making them better instead of making them happy, even if that meant that coach was going to rip them a new one and p*** them off from time to time.

Exactly!! Let's see if Rojas continues to be a starter now that a couple other guys are emerging.

If by saying weird, you mean ignorant, dumb or stupid, I Agree.

Just who is emerging at the 4? No one. At the 5 Ballard shows improvement, but he’s not ready for prime time 20+ minutes. No one is emerging there either. 1-3 is better off than 4 and 5.

[Atxshoxfan]

I'd rather play with an additional 3 in the game than keep a guy in who is a detriment about 40% of the times he touches the ball. We don't really use bigs anyway. They mostly just stay 18ft from the hoop and set poor screens. So what does it matter if you put a traditional 4 in the game or not?

Look at what Longwood did on their offense. They were a thing of beauty when they ran their offense. They have no real bigs, maybe Christmas. While we were scoring I still didn't see a well run offense from us, it resembled a street game offense. That won't work too much.
Imagine our players running Longwood offense. That would get me a Longwood.

The back to the basket post move seems to have lost its luster. It can still be effective if you have someone that can pass out of a double team.

He was also the one carrying a gun on a road trip. He took the gun to a location where he was hoping to have sex.

This will not end well. Peake was not an innocent victim.

Perfect analysis and gee, who could you be describing as a Coach?
