What is there to dislike? The fact that he struggled early this year starting 2 frosh and having 9 healthy scholarship players? The fact that he lost to to top 25 teams like UT, ISU and a hot WVU team on the road? The early exit in the Tourney last year against a team that went on to the Sweet 16? Or, is it that he isn't Frank Martin, not even remotely a sexy name coach and that is enough to instill the venom?

it's that I don't like HIM. Period. The way he stands by usually on the sideline with no energy, slack jawed, the sound of his voice. I don't have to like him to like KSU basketball.
I met Frank a couple of times, and his off-the-court persona was VERY different, and he was a very likeable guy. Bruth isn't Frank, nor does he have to be. He just has to not be Bruth.
And yes, the inability to call a timeout against LaSalle sure didn't help matters.
