I would probably tap the breaks on that one. Kobe was no more than a baby step down from a generational talent, but scouts did not know where to select him. The year prior, Kevin Garnett basically re-started (the 1970s produced the likes of Moses Malone and Daryl Dawkins) the process of high...

Excellent point! It probably doesn't matter WHEN Moser is fired, but who they are targeting to replace him. This is going to be the new AD's first hire...and it's the second most important hire he can make. He'll want to get this right.

I do. I think there is a line to draw when it comes to in-season firing. Plus, there is a new boss in town. Forget the occupation for a moment. Anytime one considers a job change, the person you will ultimately work for is part of the decision-making process. Most people would rather not...

I won't lose sleep if they fire Moser now. I just don't see the benefit unless someone higher up thinks one of his assistants would be a good replacement (hard to imagine), and wants to give him an audition. Tonight against the Vols was bad, but I did not see them QUIT until the game was out...

There is definite truth to that, but would have given BV a pass if he sent them packing after one season. Think about the corporate world. A new CEO joins a Fortune 500 company. That CEO has replacements from the start. If an executive subordinate is retained, it means the CEO is at least...

Playing in the NIT is like playing in a minor college football bowl game. It's great if you have a solid percentage of your team returning the next season. Otherwise, it amounts to "playing for pride". For OU, it helped once in football and once in basketball. After OU won the National...

Not if his buyout is what I'm hearing it is. I give Coach Capel an enormous amount of credit. He's apparently still making money for signing Blake Griffin nearly two decades ago.

They were talking about this on ESPN last night...basically said the same things we're saying here. This is a bad look all around for KSU. Good luck attracting a top head coach when he knows that if things go south the university will find a way not to pay him. What's really at play here is...

Ironically, we do have one Naismith HOF head coach and it's none of the above (though Kelvin is a nominee for this year). Bruce Drake is OU's only Naismith representative (for his innovative offense), though hoping Blake Griffin joins him soon. Sadly, it's HOF-caliber head coach or bust. Not...

Thanks for the reply. As such, I found out exactly what he said. I'm no attorney, but if he takes this to court, I'm near certain he'll prevail. I agree with your take that it will probably end in a settlement...but can't see him walking away with much less than $10 million. "These dudes do...

If Tang has brought "public disrepute, embarrassment, ridicule" to KSU, why haven't we heard about it prior? I smell BS...this is going to court. OU better not pull this nonsense. It's unethical. Don't blame the head coach because the AD was a dumb@$$.

Good luck on the final game of the season, coach. Kick ass!

I think you're half-right. No question the NBA is getting tired of these players as they pop up everywhere. However, guys like A Davis, K Leonard, and J Embiid have made a nice living as part-time players. It hasn't quite worked out as well for Z Williamson. If it comes down to a coin flip...

Some guy named Blake Griffin is also a finalist. Good luck to both! https://www.nba.com/news/naismith-basketball-hall-of-fame-announces-2026-finalists

While I'm not shedding tears that DeMarco has moved on, I'm not sure how much blame he gets for Tatum. I know he was a 5*, but I can think of a boatload of them who never did squat at OU. One class (2008 I believe) we had THREE 5* players and only one finished at OU and none of the three were...
