Bring Stans home!!

Like we have done so much better since we ran him off. We have NO room to talk at ALL.
If I was him I would. That and kicking all the long time basketball diehards out of their seats so football boosters could have a good seat for the two games a year they show up for absolutely killed the basketball program, and the latter was the biggest mistake.
I was one who was adamant about not firing Stans. I knew things could be way worse considering. We haven’t been fun to watch since a Stan’s fielded team. Regardless of any negativity anyone had to say then or now, it was always fun to watch knowing that we had the talent to compete and beat the best in the SEC any given night. Keep in mind he recruited and did all he did while we didn’t even have a practice facility. You guys got what you wanted and what you deserve.
Nobody got what they wanted and still haven't. Nobody wanted Stricklin to murder our basketball atmosphere and nobody wanted Rick Ray. Cohen continues to ignore the Hump attendance/seating issues to this day.
The only thing Stansbury was better at than Howland was putting a more entertaining style of basketball on the court for the first 32 minutes but y'all are forgetting his patented Stansbury Stall that he 100% of the time enforced the last 8 minutes of any game he was leading in. That **** was the opposite of entertaining. He hasn't done a better job at a much easier job than Howland currently is doing. He's 6-4 right now at Western Kentucky and won't make the NCAA tourney once again.
What we did want was for Stansbury to stop with the ********. Stop running off talented players. Stop letting major character issues run his program. Stop having the NCAA sniffing our panties 24/7. Stop with the Stansbury stall. Stop choking in the tourney. Stop losing to random dogshit teams. Stop with the cupcake OOC scheduling. Stop letting his players smoke weed all the time. When Stricklin addressed some of these issues with him he quit instead of making changes. Then the Rick Ray catastrophe began. Again nobody got what they wanted so quit acting like they did.

It wasn't just the wins and losses, it was the shenanigans also. We had become the laughing stock of college basketball.
I don’t think college basketball paid enough attention to warrant laughingstock status.
Nah, that Sydney fight in the stands got plenty of the wrong kind of attention. I must have seen that white tank top fight in Hawaii on a few dozen different Halftime/Highlight/SportsCenter/News shows.
Nobody but us ever thought of it (if they EVER thought of it) as anything other than an amusing incident.
You got your wish, we got a totally new basketball program. I'm sure you are proud of your long term continuing legacy.

Rather have Mark Gottfried or John Brady. They and Stans are interchangeable but Gott & Brady actually made it past 2nd round of NCAA's tourney.
Worked so well bringing Polk back. Let's do Stans and Mullen too and keep our circle of suck intact!
Sorry tired, it was supposed to be a reply to the thread not your post directly.

I don’t know Tommy Lloyd but as a general rule of thumb you would think that the top assistant at one of the top programs in the country would have their sights set higher than Mississippi State for their first head coaching gig. If that was Lloyd’s strategy, it worked out well for him.

Hahaha still owning those shitheads nearly 20 years later.
Good grief, what a snakepit the Hump used to be…

There is a big difference between job hunting when you already have a good one and trying to find one when you don’t have one.
The hump hasn’t been the same since he left. Not sure if he could put that spark back either. Not sure what it would take.
Yeah , Howland is better than Stands!
Exactly! Three NIT Final Fours > Three NCAA Final Fours!******************
If Howland isn't good enough, Stans isn't either.
At least Howland's teams don't embarrass the school while going ~ .500 in SEC play.
