Osu and Cade’s brother part ways

[Big Old Booger]

In fairness to Brown, he played on the same team in the ABA as that truck driver. The two weren’t strangers. Since Manning was out of basketball, it was a shady hire to obviously get to his son, but Brown did take Manning to the NBA with him to be an assistant there as well. Now that everyone knows more than just half the story, it should be clear that KU and Manning was less shady than OSU and Cunningham.

I forgot about the connection between Brown and Ed Manning, so yeah it's not as shady as Cunningham but it was at KU so can we pretend it was as shady? LOL

The problem with Brown hiring Manning was that Kansas had a job requirement that an applicant had to have a college degree. They had to waive the requirement to allow Manning to be hired. He didn't have a degree as well as no coaching experience.
By the way, William Tisdale suffered a severe knee injury that limited his career. He had been a terrific prospect prior to that.

I watched a reunion on Soonersports TV with a bunch of basketball alums and William was there. Billy T went on and on about how great of a prospect William was in his own right. But unfortunately the injury..

Wrong. It was understood he was to leave after cade was gone.

he earned 300k this year.

Ha..."earned." I wonder how much Cade let him keep.

 

[sanguinetti]

fwiw, i think Mike Newell left Billy's staff for the HC job at Ark-Little Rock....to the post above about Billy's assistants, etc.

Incorrect.

 

[CoachTalk]

Incorrect.

Which part?

 

[WaymanFan]

Incorrect.

HoHum, you do understand that the timing makes it look like a 2-year arrangement regardless of how it went down. Alabama fans still get defensive when people refer to Bear Bryant as a racist...but when you're about the last school on the planet to integrate your football team, you leave oneself pretty wide open to such comments.

At least in the aforementioned Oklahoma and Kansas "hires", those relationships lasted SEVERAL YEARS after the on-court benefit was gone. With OSU's "hire", the relationship lasted about 5 minutes after Cade declared. As such, you're wide open to whatever gets thrown your way...much like Alabama fans.

It is what it is.

Both parties got what they wanted.

Cunningham's brother got paid $300k for two years to deliver his brother, Cade got to be the man at a P5 school, OSU got great exposure and will for a while with Cade in the NBA.

Having said that, Cade seems like a great kid, very respectful to others. I enjoyed watching him play at OSU and will enjoy him in the league.

lol, you all are funny. Complain about posts mentioning prior OU coaches, but we now have a 2 page thread about OSU, their assistant coaches, and their star player.

It doesn’t take over every thread. It’s contained in one thread.

 

[inoref]

It was almost like OSU hired him to get Cade

And, it didn’t hijack a thread about our new coach.

Progress :ez-laugh:

How much more did you have to say about OU hiring Moser in a thread that was already several pages long?

What does that have to do with introducing a tired, worn out argument into Moser’s thread? If you can’t see the difference in that and the hundreds of former coach thread debates we’ve had over the years, I don’t know what to say.

Didn’t Boynton have an assistant get 3 months in federal prison in the shoe scandal, not sure this is a real reach for them after that

Not only that, but OSU got to the second round of the tournament, and Mike Boynton got a raise and a contract extension. Win, win for Cannen, OSU, and Mike Boynton.
