It was a terribly called game. UK got a lot of calls at key times to get them back in the game.

Sounds familiar

Sounds familiar

That year was the best officiating I can remember. I believe the refs called 35 of our games well.

Isu is just saving all of their sets for the paradise jam.

Geno Ford probably should have been fired in the offseason (29.6% record in conference over three years, no seasons >.500 yet).

Moser I would fire in a second. (30.6% record in conference with IlSt, 19.2% at Loyola over the last three years).

Marty Simmons I would judge based on this year. This is season #8 and he has two top five finishes. Simmons is a guy that will never do well enough to matter, and rarely do poorly enough to be outright fired. And Evansville has low enough expectations that they probably won't ever fire him.

Paul Lusk needs to do something this year, and I think he will. He's dealt with injury problems.

Ray Giacoletti has some time. I forgot this was his second season. He gets three before I judge him. However, if he was involved in that "All about that Drake" video, I'd still fire him.

Dan Muller has two more seasons. I expect one of those two is going to be pretty strong, though.

I did exaggerate the coaches that would have leeway. That list is Ben Jacobson, Barry Hinson, and Greg Lansing. Even in that list, I don't have confidence in the latter two to ever produce an at-large team.

I can't disagree with to much, except to say; in most cases, if these athletic departments don't increase their budgets, firing their head coach probably won't do much good. For example; Greg Lansing has had the best four year run at ISUb since Royce Waltmans first four seasons in 97-98 to 00-01. Lansing has also taken his team to a post season tournament all four seasons. Waltman took his teams to two. before that you'd have to go back to 76-77 to 78-79 seasons for anything good to talk about. The budget at ISUb is nothing short of a kick to the grapes for Greg Lansing. So Lansing may be the best ISUb can do for what they're willing to pay.

Bradley is paying enough to hire one of, if not THE best, up and comer on the market.

Yeah, but are they willing and able to stay at their current level after their experience with Geno.

I hope so. I don't know what the buyout is on Geno but reportedly he was hired at $700,000. Bradley also lost the Kent Sate lawsuit in which Kent was asking for $1.6m. Sure would like Bradley to be one of the top three or four each season.

The Roos look like they would finish no worse than third or fourth in the Valley... still up 7. Have led by as much as 10, despite KSU shooting better than 55% from the field. Roos are at 67%.

[shockerfan]

Sad that I am watching the K-State game and wishing UMKC was in the Valley this year....LMAO. Just shows how far the Valley has fallen. UMKC does look decent though honestly. A lot of hustle.

[shockerfan]

Hurt is a big dude. Had what seemed like 4 boards in the first couple mins. I am still disappointed he didn't come here.

[shocktheheart]

UMKC up 40-36 over K State at half.

[jocoshock]

Roos +4 at the half

Foster vs. Harrison. Battle of the PGs..
