well said. It will be full when we win consistently. And I believe we are there next year. ( winning not the crowds at first). 2009-2010 season was perfect example of this. Win and they will come. Count on it.

Coach Jake knows this.

No, kidding. This is really the 1 and only missing piece to what is a fantastic basketball program we have. We have the wins, the championships, the NCAA tournaments, great facilities, a new arena, and an amazing coach.

Having a packed house every night is the one thing that those other programs have that we do not. Which is sad...

[BCPanther]

Apparently, slime ball Cuonzo Martin desperately wants the Illinois job.

I think in the end they go with Johnny Dawkins.

but the prices are too high...

seriously, free parking, the best bang for the buck (proven when we went to the Sweet 16), easy to get in and out of both in person and in your vehicle, and clean safe environment to bring the family. Better yet, if you are a student and can go FOR FREE why the holy hell aren't you at every game?

I think we can get Jake into the $900-$1MM range, but it will take another sweet sixteen type season.

Dannen said it only took 24 hours to raise the money for Jake's new contract after the Kansas win. The deep pockets are available, they just need a compelling reason to dig into them.

[Chitown Panther]

I disagree with this...atleast short run. The asst coaches get paid too. We can't afford asst coaches that have a head coach who makes $1MM. I guarantee all the asst coaches were pissed jake didn't take the A&M gig....their lifestyles could have taken a huge step up...

It's being reported that Shaka's big issue with Illinois was the need to recruit Chicagoland, and all the crap/corruption that entails. Illinois is attracting some name candidates, as well they should. That said, they aren't the destination job they think they are. It's a program that SHOULD be a destination, but isn't.

Another potential opening to watch is Northwestern.

[BCPanther]

Northwestern is a job that would interest Shaka. His wife is an alum and he grew up in Wisconsin.

He's not going to turn down Illinois but then take on Northwestern...

[panther-state]

But if recruiting in that area was his concern...how does moving into Chicago change that? Either I missed something or the beef isn't Chicago

because it is not offered as a class until spring and in the fall they are SOOOOO busy they can't clear up space in their schedule and they just won't have had time to get ready to cheer...

Jeez, wouldn't a potential future Smart home to Wisconsin be a Shaka to the system.

Would you accept cash to never attempt puns again?

I have given up on the students after about 6 of them showed up for the Panther football playoff game.

I will lay awake each night, writhing over the incessant agony of knowing that I have disappointed run&blade. Everything I taste will leave me with a ravenous hunger and drink will be unable to quench an unremitting thirst! Life will lose all meaning and substance for me and in my despair I will drop to my knees and proclaim:

"O woe is me! For I am forsaken in the eyes of thou eminence and thy soul shall be bound to this earthly keep, forlorn and cursed to wander a path of degradation, condemned to rue thy own ignominy!"

And I shall hear the decree of thy Savior: "REPENT! Repent, wretched vagabond and seek thou being's impunity or steady thyself for a continuance of misery and despair!'' And I shall know the path to thine own salvation!

Thanks for the memo r&b, I will make sure to bring this up at our next social gathering and let them know how disappointed you are in us. I expect some tears as the reality sets in to my peers but I am confident that we will increase our resolve and put forth a greater effort next year in order to regain your favor. Please, please, PLEASE!!! Give us another chance!

No worries Panther-State... Philosophy and World Religions will probably be cut soon. Stupid liberal arts.

I wouldn't bet on it...

we should have had a drink off in St. Louis...next year?

Game on. But could we shoot for Frisco first?

It may have been mentioned elsewhere, but Marshall from WSU is apparently lobbying behind the scenes to get the Illinois job. His biggest problem will be that he's white (Illinois' AD is getting real pressure to hire a minority coach) and he's from a mid major school and his name isn't Shaka. Regardless of this situation, Marshall looks like he's short term at WSU.

Good... for our short-term sake, I hope it WSU collapses under his departure.

[SteinPizza]

Interesting, now it's being reported that Illinois is in heavy talks with Brad Stevens from Butler. That's blows away the whole minority hire thing, but may be a way for the Illinois AD to save face for losing Shaka.

[Moose39]

So... I guess the CSU coach got the NU job?

[BCPanther]

Miles is definitely from the school of Mac. Always called Colorado State his dream job and then used the same words in his Nebraska intro.

How long before he ends up at Wyoming?

[williebat]

Memo to coaches don't use the word dream job unless you plan on staying for a long long time

[Moose39]

Multiple sources are reporting that Frank Martin from Kansas State is taking the South Carolina job.

[BCPanther]

Gregg Marshall has to be pissed he didn't wait another week to sign the new deal. He would have been a favorite to get the K-State job.

[Panther Cat]

KSU wanted Mac but he chose ISU. I bet Jake will be getting a call, not sure he'll be interested or not, but he'll get a call.

[GoPanthers85]

Saw on ESPN that they think Tim Jankovich is the person they would be interested in.

Make sense he played and coached there. Wonder why k state can't keep a coach and wonder why Illinois can't get a coach

Nothing like getting a coach that just admitted to potential booster violations two days ago:

Martin had made headlines Monday for another reason. Speaking during Sunday's broadcast of the NCAA tournament on CBS, he said that he regularly paid collegiate players who had played for him in high school when they had nowhere else to turn.
Working as an analyst on the telecast Sunday, Martin seemed to be making a case for better compensating collegiate players in need as he defended Kansas State senior Jamar Samuels, who was held out of the Wildcats' final game because of an eligibility concern.
"I coached 16 years in the same inner city in Miami that I grew up in. Do you know how much money I sent to kids that played for me in high school when they were in college because I knew where they came from?" Martin said, according to a transcript of the broadcast published by the Kansas City Star. "I knew they didn't have a father figure."

Some people on Twitter are saying that Barry Hinson will get the SIU job.
