Stansbury Supporters

[Tds & Beer]

Keep in mind that I do not necessarily think that he should be gone yet. He has a lot working against him. A town that no one outside of Starkville likes, no infrastructure, ****** basketball conference, blah blah blah.

If you have watched this team on a regular basis over the last few years and don't think that Rick Stansbury is a bad basketball coach, you have no 17in clue what organized basketball is all about and what the coach should do and can control. The reason we don't get any respect from the "experts" is because they watch our team and think, "what the 17 are they doing out there? what the 17 does their coach do?" Seriously guys, if you can honestly watch this team play and say, "It's not his fault, we're missing so-and-so and so-and-so"you have no idea whatyou are talking about.I wish I could hear whatthe espn guys say to each other behind the scenes when they watchMississippi Stateplay. I guarantee you they are saying, "how the hell did this guy get a head coaching job? what does he do? does he get recruits by telling them they can do whatever they want?" There is no organization. They have never hustledor played defense for an entire game except for thetwo Kentucky games last year.

There is no structure in our system. Our players are clueless in crunch time. Our players are clueless when the other team is in a zone. I could spend one hour with our team and no one would ever go with a zone against us for longer than two or three possessions. And no I would not be a better option than Stansbury but if he would do the recruiting, I could think of three or four people that I could call right now that could coach this team better. I honestly don't understand what the hell he does except call a good dead ball inbounds playevery once in a while. I want to like the guy so much and I want him to do a good job, but the fact is that he has no 17in clue what he is doing. He is absolutely terrible. I have tried and tried and tried to give him a chance, but as far as division one college basketball coaches go, he is an absolute joke. WTF does he do besides make behind the scenes decisions about practice, practice schedules, travelling, game schedules(wtf), ect?

Don't get me wrong. If Stansbury walked in right now, I'd be excited to talk to him, and I think he's a great guy. But if you can watch his team play and honestly tell yourself that he's our best option, I really can't say anythingto you to open your eyes.

Let's say Stansbury gets lucky and we make the sweet 16 this year, and you come up to me and ask me, " what about stansbury now? I thought he sucks?"

That really won't mean ****, considering the teams he's had and where they've been. If they make it that far it will mean that they finally overcame the obstacles despite their clueless coach. Hell, just watch them during timeouts. How many of them are listening to Rick? 50%? If he was a good coach, wouldn't they all be listening? If he was a good disciplinarian, wouldn't they all be listening to him?

Having said that, if he made it to the dance, he should have another year, but that doesn't change the fact that he has absolutely no 17in clue what the 17 he is doing out there. I really don't understand howwe just let this poser slide by, year after year without hiring a real assistant. I didn't go watch the team play tonight to spare myself of the frustration. Bring on the haters. If you hate, you were probably in the band in high school, which is cool, but no one really cares what you have to say. </p>

[LTblows]

But I just cannot anymore. What you've said is true. I want to keep denying it, but I cannot. We need a coach. A real coach.

 

[MadDawg.sixpack]

"They have never hustledor played defense for an entire game except for thetwo Kentucky games last year."

You make some decent points, but it's all lost when you make complete ******** statements like that.

 

[Coach34]

.

 

[wbc40]

I shouldn't even open this Pandora's box, but what a ******** way to structure your argument, straight from Salesman34's School of ******** and Double Talk. "If we do poorly, I'm right; if we exceed all expectations, I'm right."

I'm not saying Stansbury is doing a great job or that he's the best option available to MSU, but you can't have it both ways.

 

[Jackdragbean]

Don't get me wrong. If Stansbury walked in right now, I'd be excited to talk to him, and I think he's a great guy. </p>

So what you're saying is that you're a lying kissass. That pretty much sum it up? I figured all the other crap that you wrote was just fluff to get at this point. Good to know that you have no balls. Thumbs up to you Mr. Internet Forum Coach.

 

[tenureplan]

Why do we consistently finish ahead of 6-7 other SEC schools? All with bigger athletic budgets than ours I might add.

 

[whitedog]

They have never hustledor played defense for an entire game except for thetwo Kentucky games last year.

Defense and reboundingarethe only things they have been good at in his entire tenure.

I honestly don't understand what the hell he does except call a good dead ball inbounds playevery once in a while.

The inbound plays are awful and have always been awful. That thumbs up and down ****, I dont think he has changed it in 12 years. Every coach knows those damn plays.

 

[GhostOfJackie]

And we didn't even make the tournament.

 

[Bdog9090]

- You are dumb and know nothing about basketball if you think Stansbury is a good coach.
- Our team has only played 2 complete games in the last few years and they were both against Kentucky last year.
- If we make it to the Sweet Sixteen, it will be because of luck and our players doing it, despite the coach.
- You are better at teaching a zone then our D-1 coach.
- Stansbury is a nice guy.
-You didn't go to the game last night
- People that were in the band suck.

 

[msugolf]

That would require him outcoaching someone who also has a talented team. There's a reason he hasn't done it yet in 12 years and its the same thing that will always be the reason. As much as fans won't to blame other things for this (bad basketball conference, bad college town, low budget, LT, Slive, bad officiating, black helicoptors, spoiled players) it all boils down to one thing.

But that's fine by most on here because they only care about making the finals in SEC tourney and winning 1 game in the NCAA every 3-4 years.

 

[MadDawg.sixpack]

[AshleySchaffer]

But I just cannot anymore. What you've said is true. I want to keep denying it, but I cannot. We need a coach. A real coach.

Just curious what coaches do you have in mind??? As Lars, mentioned in his first paragraph it would be REALLY HARD to convince and pay a top level coach to come to Mississippi State. If you go the mid-major route they are hit or miss and more than often miss.

 

[Irondawg]

are some exaggerated sure. But the truth is Rick is not a good X&O coach, the players don't respect him or listen to him, and his strenght and conditioningbeliefs are questionable.

In teh spirit of fairness- .another think working against Stans is that the majority of high school/AAU coaches in the surrounding area are absolutely pitiful. Most guys we sign lack most basic fundamentals.

That's what the Northeast teams have such an advantage on - the level of HS coaches in the area are much better so that when guys like george mason sign guys they're way ahead on fundamentals than what Rick signs, even if our guys are more athletic.

 

[Johnson85]

The Stansbury question has turned into a purefinancially drivenchoice as far as I'm concerned. I'm much more willing to risk falling from mediocrity in basketball now, but only if it will save us the money that we may need to keep Dan around. If we can get out of Rick's contract and hire a replacement and save money, maybe we roll the dice after this year to give the new coach an opportunity with (hopefully) Bost,Sydney, and Moultrie. On the other hand, ifa new coach comes in and is successful, if we would have to pay him more than Stansbury'scurrentsalary to keep him (how high is Stansbury's salary now? ~$1M?), maybe we relish our mediocrity and enjoy being the tallest programin a vertically challenged division.

The other thing that has to be added is that if it were likely that we would do better than Stansbury, wouldn't one of Ark, Alabama, LSU, or Ole Miss have gotten lucky with their last hires? I really am dumbfounded that as limited as Stansbury is from an x's and o's standpoint, no other coach in the west just blows him away. They may be (most likely are) better at x's and o's, but not so much better that a slight talent differential has kept them from moving their programs past MSU.

 

[ckDOG]

Why he can't go out and find a good x's and o's guy to run a disciplined offense is baffling. Stans need to understand that he's not going to get fired if somebody that works for him produces results. Stans is great at recruiting and typically good at producing disciplined defense. He seems to be a likable guy. But he does have some obvious faults and most of those are concentrated an ability to produce a consistent/reliable offense. He needs to outsource what he sucks at. There's nothing wrong with that...

 

[tenureplan]

His biggest problem is making in game adjustments. It's way more obvious when he is playing teams that he doesn't have a clue about. His gameplans for the SEC schools are generally solid and sometimes don't even require adjusting at the half. To sum it up, he knows basketball, but he isn't a quick thinker.

 

[HippyDawg]

Our past President had a bad case of that as well.

 

[Coach34]

Why do we consistently finish ahead of 6-7 other SEC schools? All with bigger athletic budgets than ours I might add.

1. Because he is "The Recruiter"- he has brought in some very good college basketball players

2. The SEC is ****** as are his schedules every year. In the 12 years he has been coach:

UPig- 6 NCAA's- no Sweet 16
Bama- 5 NCAA's- 1 Elite 8
LSU- 5 NCAA's- 1 FF, 1 Sweet 16, 3 SEC Titles
Vandy- 4 NCAA's but 3 Sweet 16's
Auburn- 3 NCAA's- 1 Sweet 16
Georgia- 3 NCAA's
Mississippi- 3 NCAA'S- 1 Sweet 16
South Carolina- 1 NCAA

The level of competition he has faced has been less than stellar, and his OOC schedules rank 10th out of 12 in the SEC during his tenure

 

[LTblows]

So we keep the status quo because we're afraid we might fail with a mid major hire?
To quote Teddy: <font class="sqq">“Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win
glorious triumphs, even though checked by failure...than to rank with
those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they
live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.”

</font>I have no coaches in mind. It's just undeniably clear at this point that Stansbury's teams aren't well coached. He recruits talent and hopes it can gel. I'm tired of it.

He's good with the media.He's good at recruiting. He's good at befriending some players as a father figure.He'sis a good defensive coach. But the effort ishardly ever there defensively for an entire game. And this year it sounds likethey don't quite have it together defensively yet. I expect them to turn that around though. He'sreally good atsome things.If he could put his pride aside, we could have a good program with himat the healm. If he can't understand that, we will continue tofinish first or secondin the west with an undisciplined team, and make the first round of the tournament every 2 or 3 years. If you are fine with that, keep backingStansbury.I really don't want to see him go, but he's gotta make it work. It just blows my mind howsomeone can run a program for this long and never do anything offensivelyother than a pee-wee offense that really doesn't accomplish anything. Do you guys realize that half our players don't even know how to v cut and ask for the ball. Theirfavorite position is standing still with the ball above their head.If I had done that in practice in highschool, my coach would have nailed me in the *** witha basketball.

 

[MadDawg.sixpack]

and we are M-State dammit. We should be in a BCS bowl, uh I mean the sweet sixteen every year.

 

[Coach34]

then people would damn sure expect more from football...

It's not like "The Recruiter" has to coach in the ACC (which he proved he was too scared to do this past offseason), he gets to coach in a weak basketball conference.

 

[tenureplan]

Why is that? Is that Stans' fault too? Or is it what another poster alluded to; players in the Southeast are raw. More athletes than basketball players. And since it is nearly a league wide epidemic, is it not possible that the problem lies with the pool of players and not as much the HC?

Don't get me wrong; Stans does some stuff that totally drives me up a wall sometimes; but he doesn't deserve all of the blame ya'll try to lay at his feet.

 

[alabamadog]

you can ***** about his easy schedules, all the transfers, not having a decent run in the tournament, or making poor in game adjustments, but what bothers me about him is how much the quality of his teams have declined the last few years. After not making the tournament his first three years, he got in four straight times. Since then he hasn't gotten two at large bids. When is this decline going to stop? Maybe three top 100 recruits and Moultrie will be enough.

 

[tenureplan]

Why is the SEC so weak and why do you assume that we should be immune to that inherant weakness?

you can reply to either post...

the players have to be coached and developed? Isnt that his job?

Where were the players from that put LSU in a Final Four? Bama in an Elite 8? Mississippi made it to a Sweet 16 also- as did Auburn- where ddi they get players?

To act like we havent had the players to do better than we have is ridiculous

 

[tenureplan]

is why are all but 4 teams in the SEC so bad? One of those teams is Vandy, so you know they are going to have some fairly smart players. KY, FL, and TN recruit nationally.

Lets say you have an 8th grade education and I have a High School diploma. Who should do better their first year of JUCO? Lets say you have the best tutor in America. It is still going to take quite a while to cram 4 years of **** you should have already known for you to be on par with me.

 

[boomboommsu]

Insecure people LOVE to have smarter people that agree with them around. It's smarter people who disagree with them that they can't stand to have around, especially after the smarter person turns out to have been right. See Colin Powell or Paul Krugman, and yes, it applies to our current Prez as well.

 

[MadDawg.sixpack]

we'd probably do something completely unnacceptable like finish 5th in the West.

 

[markymark.sixpack]

I'm not anymore.

The main reason I wanted to keep him was b/c he is a guy who would coach his whole career at MSU, and he had good results through about 2003/2004. He lost me when he flirted with Clemson, and this season has been putrid so far. yeah, he was w/o two main components, but he built the team, he recruited sidney, and he didn't help with the Bost situation. He also ran off Osby & Turner. So the situation we are in is his fault, and this team blows. He took a great team last year, and went to the NIT. The last year and a half plus the Clemson thing turned me off. His results since Roberts left are comical. I'm done with Stans.

I was even secretly hopeful that he was going to Clemson.

Now I won't bash him and go on insane rants, nor will I make crazy accusations towards him...but I'm done defending him.

 

[MedDawg]

Where were the players from that put LSU in a Final Four? Bama in an Elite 8? Mississippi made it to a Sweet 16 also- as did Auburn- where ddi they get players?

Bama got lucky to play one of the most overrated #1 seeds in a while (Stanford, even though they were 25-1 or so). The team that knocked us out that year (Xavier?) was playinga lot better than Stanford at the end of the year.

Don't know about Auburn, except I imagine they had the NBA-quality legacy (Wesley Person, Chuck Person's brother?) playing for them that year.

Ole Miss also got a one-time bounty called the Provine Posse. That hasn't been available since to either Stans or the OM coaches until this year.

LSU got three top 50 players from Baton Rouge and another from less than 100 miles away, and they gotLSU to the Final Four.LSU was just lucky to have 3-4 great players available all at once so close to LSU. Stans doesn't let the blue-chippers close to Starkville get away, but there just haven't been that many, and certainly not 4 in one year. The closest opportunity Stansbury has had was this year, and he was able to sign 3 good players from around Mississippi.

I think Stans earned another few years by getting Sidney, the 3 Mississippi blue chippers, and Moultrie. Had he not landed Moultrie or signed more than one of the MS kids then I think his seat would have been (and should have been) HOT.

Try Chris Porter. He was a JUCO guy that became an All American and led them to the Sweet 16.

It's all well and good that you rattle off all those "rare" examples of talent showing up on those campuses. What about the All American that fell into Bury's lap???? I didn't see him capitalize on that stroke of luck like those other lucky coaches did.

 

[Coach34]

" What about the All American that fell into Bury's lap???? I didn't see him capitalize on that stroke of luck like those other lucky coaches did."

"The Recruiter" had 4 All-conference players on the 2004 and 2005 teams and still couldnt do anything...and now people want him to get more time because he has supposedly recruited more talent to ruin and transfer out-

How about bringing in a coach that knows what they are doing to coach the talent we are bringing in?

Absurd. You are willing to gamble now that our football team doesnt totally suck? Seriously? That is some ****** reasoning.

 

[DawgatAuburn]

In 1999 they lost to Ohio State and Scoonie Penn in the Sweet 16 as a #1 seed. That Auburn team with Porter, Doc Robinson, Bryant Smith, Scott Pohlman and Mamadou peaked in late February.

In 2003 they lost to Carmelo and Syracuse by 1 point in the Sweet 16. That team was a 10 seed led by Marquis Daniels.

 

[medearis]

it's hard to read your damn post for all the 17ing going around. is it cool to try and write 17 as many times as possible per post?

To your point, as I understand it, amidst the 17's, I have always been a fan of stansbury. Last night I went to the game and was dumbfounded at how bad he looked at coaching.

Then I think more about and realize the school up north has good coaching and this:


Pos Nat'l
Rank Nat'l

And then I remember how we beat the school up north and every other SEC west team every year, and I think "Hmm, maybe me and your dumbass don't know quite as much as we think we know about coaching college basketball"

Then I realize we have Moultrie, Sidney, and Dee Bost, and I think "How the hell?"

And I look back at all the SEC West titles and I think "how the hell?"

So no, you are not the smartest guy in the room. Long live Stansbury.
