OU fans don't really hate Sampson's brand of ball as much as they just don't like Sampson. It started with "quit yelling 'Texas Sucks'" and will end with possible probation. He better use some of his cash on a marketing firm or the Hoosier fans will rip him as well. Imagine Hoosier fans going from adoring a coach who throws chairs at referees to one who refuses to argue a call.

I disagree.
Most fans want to see Tubbslike scoring and running up the floor. Even though the game isn't played like that much anymore, I think if a team did this, it would bring more exciting players and scorers to Oklahoma and make it a top program. Maybe not like Duke or UNC, but just under that.

I disagree. I know that there's that faction that just don't like KS because of events like the Texas sucks" thing, but the portion that dislikes him because of his brand of play is MUCH larger, IMO. If I had a buck for every "Well, it's just not as fun as BillyBall was" type of post that I've seen, or "I don't go to the games anymore because it's just too boring", I could retire right now & live comfortably for the rest of my days, & I'm all of 38.

Don't get me wrong, I think Turgeon would be a GREAT hire. WSU is my 2nd favorite team (I was born in Wichita), so I follow them closely as well. In his time there, Turgeon has NEVER failed to win more games than he won the year before. I'd just be willing to bet that in 5 years, you'll hear the EXACT same complaints that you've been hearing from the anti-Kelvin crowd for years now.

I disagree. I think the fans quit coming because of Sampson's lack of engaging personality, not his lack of success. While his record is unquestionably great, his post-season lack of success made him an easy target for those that just didn't like him. When a coach loses the fans, they quit coming regardless of success.

A new, exciting coach will see a renewed interest from the fans regardless of record. Sampson has the skills to win games, but lacks the skills to fill up an arena.

I would have to add Mike Brey to the list of Coach K proteges that didn't quite pan out. Although I think he's a good coach, and Notre Dame had the worst hard-luck season I've ever seen in recent memory. But he's not the type of coach who strikes me as national-championship caliber.
Then again, OU has had success hiring coaches who had no prior head coaching experience (Bud, Barry and Bob immediately come to mind).

They did until the final days..which were play suckiness. Calvin Curry jacking up 30 footers, no defense and no intensity. There is always a point when fans cannot take any more losing (see the John Blake era) and will finally quit coming rather than go home angry.

My point was that the LNC would have been full at least twice as often if Sampson played to them a little. The Indiana fans probably don't care since they are such diehards for roundball (just like OUfans for football).

Not a perfect example because Joe C >> Peterson and Neb football > OU basketball but Neb did fire a fairly successful coach and then were suprised/embarassed when several candidates dare turn down the Neb coaching job.

Fans that say they will support a new coach might need to put their $ where their mouth is because it is going to take $$$ for a top coach to come in. We are probably going to have to roll the dice with a mid-major coach or assistant.

I was there from 1988 to 1993, and we camped out for the big games (KUs, Mizzous, UNLVs) and had 5000 people there for the Coppin States and Nebraskas, pretty similar to the way it is now. However, the notion that Tubbs packed them in is not true, unless you only consider the big-name teams. Also, back then we typically only had 12-13 games on TV, so you either went or listened to it on the radio. Now they are all televised on SSN.

He's probably a better coach now than he was then. I don't think he was quite ready for what was at the time a pretty big time job. He was certainly a hell of a lot better coach than the next two guys we got.

But there's no doubt in my mind that he would be a step down from Sampson.

Dana Altman would be a great hire. Probably not better than Few or Majerus, but if you're going the mid-major route, skip Turgeon and look for Altman.

In 12 years at Creighton, he's taken them to the post-season 10 times - 7 NCAA tourneys (with 3 wins against Florida, Louisville and New Mexico St). He consistently graduates all of his players - runs the program with class - and always puts an exciting product on the floor. Creighton now is in the top 15 nationally in attendance (Average around 14,000 fans per game). They dominate Nebraska every year (not saying much) - and every year take out an Iowa, Okie St, or other bigger name programs - this year they went on the road and beat George Mason by 20. The only reason they didn't make the dance this year is their top 2 players got hurt - and they still won 20. And by the way, Altman owns Turgeon head to head.

Someone mentioned KSU not being sad to see him go - I wonder what they think now? - he coached there for 4 years - 2 NIT's and 2 NCAA's - recruited Mitch Ritchmond. I don't believe they've been to the dance (maybe 1 NIT) since he left - so KSU should rue the day he left.

As a Creighton fan, it would be an absolutely enormous loss, and I would hate to see him go, but you would all be doing great to land him.

Like I wrote, he was better than the next two guys we got, but that's more of a statement on their effectiveness than Altman's. He came to K-State mostly on the strength of having recruited Richmond when he was an assistant here. But he never brought anyone in with near that talent as a head coach. He never had a winning conference record. He did have the one NCAA, but we slipped back after that.

He wouldn't be all that bad of a hire. I do believe that he has improved as a coach since we forced him out. But he's not overly charasmatic, something that I believe the OU head coach needs to be to be successful, nor do I believe that he has the potential to put together a team capable of winning a National Championship.

I work with a former player of his, and Majerus was damn near abusive (nttawwt). The fans here felt that his style was boring.

I really wonder what good coach would come to a school where the few fans it has have run off the best basketball coach they've had in there history. It just seems to me from a reality point of view that if the coach is actually a good coach, he's going to want to go where the expectations are realistic and where his success is appreciated.

I've noticed this phenomenom at the other schools boards where they've lost their coaches. All of these fantasy names start getting thrown around, before people finally start to come down to earth and realize that there is rather huge gulf between what they daydream and what a potential coach is actually willing to come in and take on.

These big names you guys are throwing would surely be interested in going to a basketball school with great fan support. Do you think they'd really be interested in coming to OU? For what reasons? Maybe the challenge of creating an even stronger basketball presence at what is essentially a football school? I suppose that might attract some decent coaches.... I'm just not sure who....

I like Majerus as much as anybody, I'm living in the guys hometown and he's one of the most popular figures in Wisconsin, but the guy is 58 yrs old and in pretty poor health. (which is one of the big reasons he quit coaching in the first place) I really don't know if Oklahoma is intriguing to him or if that is the direction we should really consider. He's a great great coach but we wouldn't have him for more than 5 years tops. And we would be lucky to get that out of him.

Pelphry didn't win until this year and losing several players may not win for a while again!

How about Avery Johnson?

I hear he's doing a pretty good job with the Dallas Mavericks and has an exciting offensive philosophy.


There's also Larry Brown:

He did wonders at Philidelphia and he's won a championship. I mean hey, why not? It's Oklahoma right? We've got enough money to pay these guys!

No he's bad news. One time he hit one of his own players. ;)

Avery Johnson appears to be pigeon-toed.

Not to mention the impact it has on the crowd and the players who want a coach who defends their team/players/school. Show me a coach who works the refs over good and I will show you a very loyal fanbase (Knight, Sutton, Tubbs).

Ah, Tubbs stomping the floor and getting a T. Instant energy and revitalization of the players. Getting a T is an art and a strategery...

Mike Montgomery will be available after the NBA season. He is a good college coach. Did well at Stanford.
