Basically turned over his entire roster too. I guess he wasn’t good enough for Senter.

That’s cool. I remember Tang being in the discussion at the time. Several people on here wanted him over Golding. Admittedly, I wasn’t one of em. Mistake? Maybe.
This is the anomaly, though. For every major turnaround, there are 30 or so programs who don’t turn it completely around. Also, just because Tang has fared well in Manhattan, doesn’t mean he’d have done the same in EP.
No excuses. I know Golding has had all of 1 1/2 seasons to produce a championship caliber team and just hasn’t produced. Fire him now.

He was definitely interested. I think it had to do with salary. His main assistant was even calling around some local people to learn more about the community since there was a good chance he’d be coming with him.
Golding would probably be doing better at Kansas State too.
Big 12 vs. CUSA
Big 12 vs. CUSA
All well and good for KState but let's not forget that UT is currently coached by Rodney Terry.
KSt is also recruiting against those in the better conference. Tang is recruiting against Texas and Kansas for recruits. He’s not recruiting against UNT and MTSU like Bronzeing is.
Tang did a phenomenal job loading up KSU’s roster with talent very quickly. He also knows how to coach. He’s had an awesome mentor for years, and knows the conference and his competition inside and out.
Tang is better than Golding.
Moral of the story: Never pass up Tang.
You cant compare KState to UTEP. It's not the same situation. Only you would think of something like this. KState has a history of good recruiting before Tang. KSTATE is a big name school. Its easier to recruit in Kstate than it is at Utep.
I wouldn’t expect you to understand. Not comparing KSt to UTEP. Tang was a “finalist” for the job last year. Fair to say, that if he can do well in his first season there, he might have been successful here.
UTEP recruits against CUSA schools, not against Big 12 schools. CUSA doesn’t even have a Memphis type team like when UTEP started in CUSA. Just a bunch of other middling schools.
Tang is recruiting in the “best” conference in college basketball. Doesn’t have anything to do with comparing KSt to UTEP. Take those Flinstones vitamins when you get a chance.
Comparing them is natural when they were both candidates for the UTEP job.
Yeah. I still keep tabs on Sanchez since a lot of fans wanted him instead of Terry back then.
Maybe? The level of competition is a lot higher. If you’re struggling in your 2nd season at UTEP, what makes you think he would be 13-1 at KSt right now?
