We Need Options

It better be one hell of an acceptance speech.

Dont worry, it will be.

All those that agree that Bode is an idiot, like this post.

Those that dont, like this one.

All those that agree that Bode is an idiot and should be banned, like this post.

Those that dont, like this one.

Hmm. I've got a problem here. I think he's an idiot but I don't think he should be banned. We need people like him to keep the offseason entertaining.

It's a shame the governor is closing some of the mental hospitals. Perhaps he should just limit internet access.

We need spidey. That's what we need.

Everybody gets one.

I want to believe that this is satire but I just can't.

And Mark Jackson????

1. Weird *** beliefs that we don't need
2. Look at what Steve Kerr did. Warriors have essentially the same personnell and are the best team in the NBA. Mark ******* Jackson...

+1.
He hasn't done anything yet that deserves banning. He's just dumb.

Alright, the original motion has been edited for accuracy.

Let's just stick to basketball. I know some of you posers are back with your Spiderman crapola.

Once you actually start talking basketball, so will the rest of us.

I have been thinking the past few days on the future of this program, and when I look long term (3 years from now), I just don't see Fred being in the great city of Ames....... Whether it's him leaving on his own or we decide to cut ties with him. We need options.

A pretty cool idea would be Greg Marshall. With this guy, you are looking at somebody who has coached all around the globe. He's the bad a*s type of coach I am in love with. He's a guy that doesn't tolerate BS and has a killer instinct. What he has done in the tournament with inferior talent is quite mind boggling. He's the type of man that addresses his players when needed. He definitely wouldn't tolerate snoozing against sub-par opponents. You get the best of his team every game, not just during the big games against ranked opponents. Greg Freaking Marshall would be sick...

A pipeline dream would be, like Mr. Hoiberg, a guy with more of an NBA background. He does a great job announcing NBA games on ABC, he's a winner, somebody with a lot of ties to professional basketball, and did a great job in his time coaching in the NBA. And when I look at the best coaches, a lot of them played point guards in their playing career (ie 1st time head coach Steve Kerr this season) Mark Jackson!

Golden State's loss can be our gain! He helped Steph Curry develop into the player he is. Steph thinks very highly of him as he campaigned him to stay as head coach. The man knows the concept of team basketball (3rd or 4th all time in assists in NBA and the chemistry at Golden State was great between him and his players).

The college game would be a new challenge for Mr. Jackson. I assume we'll have top 10 talent for the next couple of years as that'd be attracting for him. Any college kid would be more excited than a kid on Christmas Eve to lace 'em up for this guy! If NBA players loved playing for him, college players will double that love and enthusiasm for him. These 18 year olds definitely look for a coach who kills it in his pre-game speeches when they decide to go to school for the next few years. Mark is a pastor and he even does that well too!

BESIDES Mr. Jackson not having ties to Iowa state, this so reminds me of Jim Football Harbaugh going to Michigan. Leaves after a very successful run in the Bay Area (San Fran/Golden State by completely changing the culture in both situations), heads to a great program, and the rest is history. Tell me why this would be a bad idea! Actually don't! Because this move is GOLD

Being the NBA junkie that I am, Mark Jackson and ownership never saw eye to eye. That was a huge problem. They brought in Brian Scalabrine as an assistant coach and they never got along either.

However Steve Kerr deserves a ton of credit, but he's had full support from ownership and has some really good assistant coaches (Alvin Gentry as one of the coaches). And it also doesn't help Barnes was terrible last season for Mark. But the young players do deserve credit too, they are one year more mature/experienced. I believe Jackson would have this Golden State team close to where they are now if he had the same support from ownership as he did from his players.

I was going to play Mr. Positive, and extract the parts that have merit. But the few points that do are buried within other ill-formed ideas.

If I couldn't vote for myself, I'd say ISU42 or peteypie.

I got nominated for Cyclonefanatic spokesman, but am not a top poster. Suck it, GTO.
