KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY

John Currie has plenty to say about the state of Kansas State basketball, but he wants to make one thing clear up front. “I believe Bruce Weber is the right coach for our program,” Currie said Monday in an interview with The Eagle. Why? Currie, in his seventh year as K-State’s athletic director, is eager to answer. He hired Weber in 2012 and continues to support him for myriad reasons. “Clearly, he has the right values and he has been embedded in the community with his support of different things – Coaches vs. Cancer, the United Way, you name it,” Currie said. “But ultimately, it’s about the players he has brought into our program. Look at D.J. Johnson, Wesley Iwundu and Dean Wade, those are K-State guys. And they are all K-State guys who have a chance to have great seasons next year. That is a reflection of their coach.” -Kellis Robinett, The Wichita Eagle– Read More
