I find it really funny how nearly every MSU loss is chalked up as a poor coaching job by Rick. Then the wins are either due to great shooting, superior talent, or a cold shooting night by the opposition. At best, Stans may get credit for a "decent" job which is basically a backhanded compliment saying, "Well, at least he didn't screw it up."
It's not like we're on our way to the NCAA tourney now or anything, but I really don't get the disdain that a fairly decent size of our fanbase has for the man.
