Show of Hands (Keep or Fire) Coach Stansbury

[DAWG61]

discipline without talent doesn't work either. In fact, signing raw talent is more important in basketball than in any other sport. There is a definite ceiling that Stans' program can't seem to get through, no doubt, but you can look all around the SEC and see programs that are in even worse shape and realize that things could also get worse rather than better if the new coach doesn't pan out, ESPECIALLY if he can't recruit basketball players to MSU like most coaches couldn't before Stans got here.

Doesn't mean I want to keep him but we can't fire him.

In the good ole boy days of Larry Templeton, this is true. A proactive AD with balls can fire a coach because he sucks though. He doesn't have to sit around and wait for a completely failed season. This season has been nothing but a failure so far. So was last year. It would be really sad if Stansbury made the tourney and Scott settled and waited around for another failure to take place before we got rid of him. You gotta look out for what's best for the team. Not what's best for a booster's ego. Not what's best for keeping a couple players for next year. You gotta look for what's best for the program long term. He has proven over and over again that he sucks at coaching basketball.

If he makes the tourney this year that would be 7 out of the last 11 tourneys MSU has made, which would've been 8 of 11 if not for a blatant missed call that would probably be reviewable in football. <div>
</div><div>If he "sucks" at coaching and has led MSU to a 2 seed, a 3 seed, and a 5 seed and an overall SEC title, then coaching must not be all that important in basketball.</div><div>
</div><div>I agree with what Shane Power said the other day, Stansbury is a better coach than he's given credit for, and the talent isn't as good as its made out to be. I'm upset with Stansbury because of constant discipline issues and wouldn't mind seeing him go mainly b/c of those issues, but basketball has been MSU's most succesful sport the last 10 years and to say he's an idiot and knows nothing about basketball like you do is inaccurate.</div><div>
</div><div>I noticed you called out someone's basketball background the other day without ever saying what yours was... Academy player or Upwards coach?</div><div><div>

I just want to see who y'all hire and want to have a shot with in-state recruits.

I wish I had counted every time I heard a pro athlete talk about fear of failure as their main driver in why they were successful.

You're missing my point. To not try something because you are afraid to get worse or lose is what I'm talking about. The poster said not to fire Stansbury because we could get worse. That is the fear of failure that I'm implying.

though continuing to choke away games when it counts doesn't help.
