Any chance of having any balance to your views? This reminds me of something that happened outside Hampton back in the early sixties. We lived on a farm a mile and a half east of the town. Just a half mile west of us, lived an evil, evil woman and her daughter. I won't give names, but they were evil! The husband/father "committed" suicide by hanging himself in the barn with barbed wire. My dad actually found him hanging. Anyway, after his exit from this world, a hired man was brought on. Hormones got out of control, and low and behold, the daughter was with child. The evil woman castrated the hired man in his sleep. He later that year was in a car wreck and was decapitated. So, he almost lost two heads in the same year... My point of this story is, no matter how bad things appear to be in Husker basketball, we should be happy the team has balls to dribble.

Why has there never been a movie made of this '60s Hampton hysteria. . . holy moly ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they leave the head guy twisting in the wind, the good assistants bail. And I promise you that’s what happened with Kenya. And when Kenya left, it was over.

I dont know, alot of assistants and players that were promising left under Tim. Makes me wonder if there were other issues. That was also Bill's 1st year. I will say having 3 AD's in 7 years isnt ideal for anyone, but i do think there were other issues.

It wouldn't have been so bad if he hadn't given Frost an extension following 4 - 8 and 5 - 7 seasons, but not give a 1 year extension to a coach for setting a record for conference wins. Maybe Kenya still leaves. I'm going to side with him staying. Which most likely keeps Xavier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was heavily discussed at the time. Leaving a coach with less than 4 years is a “dead man walking” thing. I can guarantee you this was used against us in recruiting pitches.

But I realize nothing will change your mind or balance your crusade. 49r 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think thats more overblown then in the past. Just my opinion though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did have 7 years, finished in the bottom most of those, and failed to elevate or maintain after his best year. He was the right fit at the right time. Just didnt get it done.
