Danny Kaspar gets credit for SFA win
front page of sports section of our local paper, the Dallas Morning News shows a big picture of the SFA team after beating VCU in overtime with the caption "coach Danny Kaspar and the SFA Lumberjacks..." does this win count on his Texas State resume or what...

He may not have been on the sideline, but that is his team. This is what I have been saying to the SBC for a while not and the TXST posters in particular. SBC basketball will improve alone just on that.

i paid attention the first time you said kaspar would be a good coach at tx state.

after watching his team against us twice i was impressed with everything but his 70's wardrobe and 70's do.

taking nothing away from the new coach at sf austin....that was kaspar's team. very impressive.

looks like a very good hire for tx state. i'll be watching them the next few years to see if he can match his success at sf austin.

So will Kaspar continue to get owned by Marlin in the Sun Belt like he was in the Southland? Already off to a 2-0 start.

I personally believe he was hired solely on the impressiveness of the 70's porn stache.

that was prolly the ultimate deciding factor but the baby blue leisure suit, the texas sized belt buckle and the elvis bouffant certainly didn't hurt.

all of that said....dude apparently can build a team.

he also filled a sunbelt void. with the loss of ronnie 'i buy my ill-fitting suits at goodwill' arrow from south al someone had to take up the mantle of worst dressed coach.

I understand it can take a few years to change out the guys that he inherited to the guys he wants.
not being a basketball guy this is hard for me to comprehend but coach cross says that we are losing some pretty good senior players but he has brought in sun belt type players for next year and expects to be more competitive..so if this is not a very good basketball conference what type of player makes any difference..what is the difference between the type of player the wac recruits and those that are best suited for the belt..just askin.

Considering Texas State had little returning talent and The Cajuns were starting two future NBA draft picks, I don't know how you expected much different.

Relax Nancy, just taking a little jab at the TxSt fans and Kaspar. Let them fight their own battles.

He, like Marlin, ran a decent program in the Southland. Both coaches aren't very fond of one another. I hope he can turn things around there because the SBC needs to start fielding better hoops teams, and TxSt is one of the programs that needs improving.

RE: Danny Kaspar gets credit for SFA win
Here's the article where he talks about the season and rebuild. Very candid and honest.

http://texasstatesports.com/2014/03/19/c...#more-6407

Quote:Less than two weeks after he saw his team step off the court for the last time in the 2013-14 season and fade down the stretch, Texas State head coach Danny Kaspar sat down for an exclusive interview with the Daily Record.

Kaspar spoke at length about the past season that saw the Bobcats win just eight games and what the future of the program holds.

Here is what Kaspar had to say.

SMDR: What was the most surprising thing about your first season at Texas State? What was the most disappointing thing about it?

Kaspar: “The most surprising thing about the season was that we were able to control the tempo of the game against so many of the upper-echelon opponents. If you look at our scores against Western Kentucky, Arkansas State and some of those others teams, it wasn’t a matter of them running away offensively. It was a matter of us not being able to score All of those games we were in it until the very end and could have won it. A missed shot, a turnover or even some missed free throws get in the way. That goes hand in hand with the most disappointing thing. We had 10 games that were decided in the last two minutes or less and only a couple went our way. We have to be able to execute and not panic or lose our poise. That is something we’ll look at in recruiting — toughness, poise and emotional balance.”

SMDR: Speaking of recruiting, what kind of players are looking to bring in with your second class?

Kaspar: “We’re going to recruit two point guards. We’re looking at bringing in what I call a combo guard who can shoot the basketball and give us some minutes at point guard, if needed. We need to recruit one small forward. We need to recruit two power forwards. One of these power forwards is more of what I call a ‘Stretch Four.’ One is going to be more of a low-post/high-post player that can play both center and power forward. We need to improve our efficiency at the guard spots. Get a better assist-to-turnover ratio. Hitting our three-point shots and improve our long-range shooting.”

SMDR: Were you surprised at how much work you had to do with the program or was it what you expected?

Kaspar: “I was a little taken aback by the amount of work needed both academically and athletically. There were a lot of issues to be taken care of. If I didn’t believe in the potential of this university and the leadership we have here, I would have probably walked away. My wife and I love this area and I consider it “God’s Country,” but if there wasn’t a feeling that something big could happen here, I probably wouldn’t have been a part of it. What really struck me was with how much structure was needed to get the program going where I wanted it to go. I don’t think players were held as accountable for mistakes on and off the court that I feel like they should be.”

SMDR: A lot of coaches will say it takes three or four years to turn a program around. Do you feel that same way?

Kaspar: “I don’t want this to be a three-year plan. That’s not my goal. At my age and with my track record, I’m not into long rebuilding. My hopes are that in three years we can have this program where I want it to be. It might take a year longer. It might be a year earlier. I didn’t come up with that conclusion when I got here. I wanted it to be a two-year turnaround, but after a few months of getting to know the situation, I felt like this would be a three-year rebuilding project. I didn’t have that idea coming into the hiring process. You learn more about your program as you get into it. I found those things out this year, not just in a day or a week. It took a month or two. Some things aren’t what they seem to be. Some things are more positive than I thought they would be. Some things are more negative than I thought they would be.”

SMDR: What’s your top priority in the offseason?

Kaspar: “I want to further instill my philosophy and beliefs as far as how the game is played and won. I’m going to be pretty much dealing with players I brought in this spring. We had some issues and problems this year, but we need to put that behind us and move on.”

I don't know that I would call it owned. All-time, while SFA, Kaspar was 7-14 against Marlin. That looks pretty good, but...

SFA was 6-21 the year before Kaspar took over. It took three years to rebuild. They were 9-17 his first year, 13-15 his second and then 21-7 in the third.

After those first two years, Marlin was only 10-7 vs. Mustache. Hardly owned. I expect Marlin to sweep Kaspar again next year. After that, it's a whole new ballgame.

BTW, has anyone else noticed there are at least three SLC coaches in the SBC. Marlin, Kaspar and UTA's Scott Cross?

All I know is SFA's win screwed up my bracket. I was happy to see them win though. And hopefully that bodes well for Texas State's future. Kaspar built a good program there.

that's not really surprising is it? the sunbelt is a step up from the slc no?

i'm sure it must be a pay increase as well as an increase in resources to be successful.

not light years difference but obviously enough gap for elvis kaspar and big tits bob marlin to make the jump. i guess cross made the jump via conference move.

i think all 3 are good additions to the sunbelt and even though western is leaving i'll continue following you guys simply because i follow hoops and we were in the belt for over 30 years.

RE: Danny Kaspar gets credit for SFA win
Right now the SBC actually has some pretty good coaching. Marlin, Brady, Richard, Hunter, Kaspar all have had success in the past. UALR Steve Shields also has had very solid success in the SBC.

The interview with Kaspar indicates he is in a hurry to get somewhere else. I think both Kaspar and Marlin are in a hurry. Brady had success at LSU, and at Samford before that, he has peaked and will stay at ASU as long as they love him. Cannot comment on the UTA coach don't know him did not research his history.

There is no reason to think the SBC will not be every bit as good as the current C USA in basketball, baseball, football, and of course softball.

But I deviate, this is about Kaspar.
