I'm not yet ready to toss Prince under the bus as a flop yet. As noted, he has not even coached a game for K-State!
Every time a new coach rolls into town...changes take place. Some players/fans like 'em...some don't. Almost always with coaching changes there are player defections (See Also:
ISU basketball). This causes fans to panic and some even jump off the nearest bridge.
Sure, player defections may hurt the team for the short term - being 1-3 years. Yet the long-term is completely unknown for K-State under Prince. I'd say give the guy a chance, he's trying to implement his system and not everyone is going to buy into that.
