There are a lot of assumptions on this board and it looks like a witch hunt; so here is what we know:
I don't have all the facts here, but John Currie committed to Bruce Weber for another year. I'm not sure when it happen but it has happened. There was no way the John could go back on his word that he committed to Bruce for the year. There is no way that Currie could have changed his mind, and kept his integrity even if Brad's team had won the NCAA tournament. If John would have done this, and broke his word to Bruce, it would have been the worse mistake he could have made for himself and KSU. You could argue that John should have never made that commitment for this year, there is an argument for that, but the facts are he did commit to Bruce and I'm OK with that. I like Brad Underwood, he may like OSU, but if he is successful and I'm KSU's AD and need a basketball coach you go after Brad, who knows what the circumstances will be then, but I would think that Brad would have to consider the KSU offer, I would if it were my Alma Mater.
- Brad Underwood did a great job at SFA, and really developed players there, he has had some failure also.
- We have no idea if Brad can recruit or identify good basketball prospects, if you think he has you are wrong and have no real facts to back that up. It doesn't mean he won't be a good recuiter, he hasn't done it at this time.
- Bruce Weber had a nice start with KSU with winning the Big 12, and 2 NCAA tournament selections
- Bruce has developed some players some have not develop, but we know he can develop them.
- Bruce has failed the last 2 years, with his own players. If you think he has been successful the last 2 years you are wrong, and its his own fault.
- John Currie is not getting fired.

- Some of you on this board have gone over the top with your reaction and you just look silly, to the point where you need to seek help, for the hatred you are developing towards your college employees. It a ball game you play with a ball put in perspective and seek help. Plus you are ruining this board for sane folks with all your dumb statements that make you look like you are 6 years old and throwing an immature fit. If I'm a basketball recruit and I'm considering KSU and I read this board, then I may have to reconsider my commitment to KSU. I guarantee it can only hurt KSU and not help. Calm it down you have made your point. Maybe Fitz could start a whining board that you can post the same junk all the time all day long.
