    I'm extremely impressed with Gerald Liddell. Trading away Roach's spastic decision making in the clutch for Liddell's calm demeanor  and AJ1's great decision making will hopefully bode well for this s

    There are a few things I've been digging into as it relates to the threes to tease out what the most important aspects are of those shots. The first and most important thing to me is that the threes a

Surprised I haven’t heard much about seeding on here. Must be from the general shock of where we were a month ago. Anyway, I see us as now a 10 seed to lunardi, a 9 seed in a few other ones, and an 11 in a couple. I’m thinking it’s best to hope for avoiding the play in games, obviously, and avoid the 9 or 8 seed if we f around and win a bunch in the conference tourney. Looking at the potential 7 seeds that we could play.....id be more worried about OSU than the 7 seeds.

All-Big XII:

Matt Coleman- 3rd Team

Andrew Jones, Courtney Ramey, Jericho Sims- Honorable Mention 

^^ Matt Coleman II looks like he's saying, "no officer, i don't have a weapon."

Courtney Ramey says, "Taxi!  I need a ride to the airport!"

Am I missing something on Brock being 1.5 points important?

Grittiest defensive player? Thin rotation just got thinner? 

I've truly no idea if you're being facetious or not.  He regularly is getting 20-25 min/game from a short bench that just got one player shorter.

we have 3 healthy guards. Hepa and Baker available to come off the bench. we're gonna get creampied

No, we're not.

The only thing getting creampied is basketball season.

I think Ramey has suffered more than any other player by not having a real coach. He’s got so much potential, but he really needed a coach who would discipline him and get him to reign in some of his bad decision making. It’s an absolute shame he has to endure 3 years of Shaka. It’s fucking awful that liking a player means I wish he picked a different school. 
 

Fuck Shaka and fuck our athletic department for keeping him. Anyone who actually cares about the “kids” should be the one screaming for Shaka’s firing the loudest. Instead, the poster who drones endlessly about the kids defends the person who’s harming them the most. I don’t know if that speaks more to idiocy or hypocrisy, but it’s an astounding amount of both.

Moving little bio. Thanks for sharing. Will be rooting extra hard for No.3 to succeed, regardless of wins and losses or how many points he scores or assists he makes.

Always pulling for the players to get great coaching and leadership... became an even bigger fan of Courtney Ramey after watching that video!! 🙏

Damn it's dusty... 😓

well that's fucking great. one year under Shaka and he was like, "Fuck this, get me out of here." Awesome.

He's leaving for a head coaching job in a city that's a major basketball hotbed, is in his home state (from La Salle, IL, and an Illinois State alum), and in the region where he spent most of his career. He's just moving up the ranks and found an opening he wanted.

While our defensive efficiency was better than the season before, the no help defense was frustrating to watch at times.

This. He didn’t take a lateral job. This isn’t a “Shaka sucks I gotta GTFO” type thing.

C'mon GP...

You bitch about how horrible a Head Coach Shaka is all the time, and now you're complaining because his assistant is leaving to take a Head Coaching job???

Congrats to Coach Yaklich and Good Luck!! 🤘

also that tweet didn't say anything about him becoming their HEAD coach (it dows however repeatedly the word "assistant"), so you can see why it looked to me like he was just getting the fuck outta Dodge. that, and the fact that working for a clown with no identity and no idea what he's doing made it totally plausible that he would leave here after just one year anyway.

yeah, and, we finished 5th in the Big XII in AdjD, so it wasn't like we were stifling people like UVA or anything.

So, do we replace him?  No evaluation of Shaka yet by cdc, who is probably not going to evaluate while crisis is happening.

uh, yeah guys, we've already established that he's leaving to become the HC. we don't need any more twitter links confirming that.

He said as much he isn’t worrying about coaches right now, his sole focus is the student athletes. Meanwhile we have 2 basketball coaches flapping in the wind

Which means we should not hire anyone to replace the coach.  Good.  Now, let’s see if cdc remains consistent.  No hires or fires until things settle down.  

Nothing to add except a worthless CSB. When I opened Twitter and first saw the news, my mind registered Mike Yurcich. That was a bewildering and slightly panicked few seconds.

He was the one guy who showed a little fire, looked capable of in-game coaching, and seemed to have his head "in the game" on the sideline and the defense was better this year (generally)...
