[QUOTE="Obelix, post: 1371842, member: 7292"] Bruce Weber has missed the tournament 2 of the last 3 years, and he barely made it the third year via play-in game. He has never won a real NCAA tournament game in his entire tenure at K-State, his career has been one big meh... a far cry from his predecessor at K-State. I would not say that he is turning it around. His mediocre tenure at K-State has not been because of chasing 5* kids either, he is just a mediocre overall coach. If I had to bet, the rest of his career at KSU will be more of the same. Even this year, they have now lost 2 straight (admittedly to good teams) and just got totally blown out today, with their schedule not getting much easier. At 16-7 and 5-5, they can still make the tournament (although not guaranteed) but he is hardly making a turnaround. Personally, I think "fitting the system" is way overrated. Eventually, it is about talent, talent fits a lot of systems. Same is true for BU IMO, if he gets the talent via recruiting, he will succeed, if not, people will find fault at not being able to find kids who fit his system. JMO. [/QUOTE]
