He's coming back for another year

K-State keeps men's basketball coach Wooldridge

By JASON WHITLOCK

The Kansas City Star

After a lengthy Tuesday morning meeting with school president Jon Wefald and athletic director Tim Weiser, Kansas State head basketball coach Jim Wooldridge learned he would be retained for the 2005-06 season, according to a source close to the program.

The school is expected to put out a press release this afternoon confirming Wooldridge's retention. Wooldridge just completed his fifth season at K-State. The Wildcats finished 17-12 overall, 6-10 in the Big 12 conference and out of postseason play for the sixth consecutive year.

That is the longest stretch in which Kansas State has failed to qualify for a post-season tournament since the late 1940s.

There was growing public speculation that Weiser wanted to replace Wooldridge, who has struggled to lift the Wildcats from the bottom half of the conference.

Wooldridge just finished the fifth season of his initial five-year contract. He received a two-year contract extension last year through the 2007 season.

This season was Kansas State's first with a winning record under Wooldridge. His teams had six wins against other clubs that were either in the NCAA or NIT tournaments, and nine of the 12 losses were against teams that still are playing in one of the post-season tournaments.

In five seasons his overall record at Kansas State is 68-77. His team's conference records are 26-54.

On the bright side, won't lose as many players, and keep our current recruits coming in.

On the other hand...ADTW just basically admitted to the rest of the Big XII that he doesn't care about Mens Basketball. Wooldridge has accomplished NOTHING in his 5 year tenure, and other coaches are being fired for much less. This is embarassing.

Dude has made nearly $5 Million in 5 years with the most mediocre results this program has seen. My donation just went down by 50%. I'm not going to financially support an administration where the University President undercuts the AD's perfromance criteria for his head coaches. What a bunch of ****ing crap!

No, no, no, no, no,,,,,,

This has nothing to do with ADTW. This decision to keep was made by UPJW. ADTW wanted to make a change and it was vetoed by Wefald. That, my friend is BULLSHIT!

This is the reason there are so many K-state football fans who are also Kansas basketball fans. There are a bunch of those people, aren't there?

Thanks, K-State, for ensuring that even when we have a turd of a season like we did this year, the Mildcats will still be down in the cellar to cushion our fall.

**Saulbadguy** · 03-15-2005, 01:59 PM

Well, I suppose the only thing you can do is encourage them to schedule a better non-con. They won't get away with scheduling a pathetically weak one like they did this year.

Might be there best chance to beat KU with the Jayhawks relying on the senior leadership of JHawkins, Christian Moody and Moulaye Njiang.

Yeah. So we can go 6-10 in conference again, but "We beat KU!!", and Wooldridge will be our savior. Bullshit. NCAA's or bust next year.

This would be the point where I remind you we beat our asses this year..but hell, you are right.

K-State officially now has lower standards than UMASS and Tennessee.
