Classy coach, classy team. But, it was certainly obvious how big a step up in competition it is from the MEAC to the Big 12.

Not sure why we are giving all these props to a coach and team that we just gave a massive beat down. It is not like it was a close game and we hung 93 on them. If Fred leaves, I hope we set our sites higher than Motown.
It's called "good sportsmanship" and "class". Both of which Moten also demonstrated after the game.Not sure why we are giving all these props to a coach and team that we just gave a massive beat down.

All I can say about this guy is WOW.
I just went over to cyclones.com and watched his post game press conference from last night. And I tell you this, if Fred left for the NBA after this season, Moton would be at the very top of my list of coaches I'd want JP to go get. Just an unbelievable guy, and a great head coach.
He took no moral victory from last night at all. I love that. And then he commented about how tough he is on his guys and what he expects out of them each and every day. He tells all of them, and his potential recruits too, that they shouldn't come play for him unless they want to be held accountable each and every day. I just love that.
And that embrace he had last night with his two players near the end was just tremendous IMO. It sounds like he is pretty tough on his guys, and in that moment he just wanted to show them how much he cared for everything they had done at NC Central. And finally, he commented about how great his players made him look as a coach all year long. He comments about how he didn't make a single shot, or get a single rebound, or dish out a single assist. His players did it all, and he took no credit for it whatsoever.
What a great head coach, and an even better guy! He looked crushed when informed about Niang's injury. He respected Niang a LOT.
Anyway, I just thought he deserved a special mention on here. If we ever lost Fred to the NBA, I'd love to have this guy as our next head coach.
Didnt he go to UNCC.
No he went to NCCU!!!
Right letters, wrong order.
Same ****. So he's like their mayor?Right letters, wrong order.
Leave Moton alone, no one can have him but us.:twitcy:

He seems like a great MEAC coach, but no thanks at the Big XII level. We've seen what happens when a guy tries the slow down, deliberate offense at a high major on the east side of the state. Fans don't like it and players don't like it. Maybe he would adjust his style to suit better players, but he would need to prove it at a mid-major before I'd want him as a coach.
By the way, weren't you on here telling us how this game would never be a blowout before the game? Glad to see you've come back to have a little crow. Eat up!

I take as good as I give.
No way would he last at this level now a days. He's too hard on his players and he wouldn't be able to recruit Big 12 players. Plus the slow it down/tough d style wouldn't help him recruit either. He belongs at a level above NCCU and below ISU.

Got to give you props. You've got a lot more balls than some of the Hawkeye posters on here who predict things then either run and hide or blame officials for the reason their team lost.
