College basketball coaches are almost exclusively hypersensitive to delivering public criticism upon their own teams, but every now and then the truth slips out and becomes a startling exception.
One such exception emerged Wednesday night after Kansas State’s 91-62 home loss to Cincinnati – the Wildcats’ fifth straight setback and 10th Big 12 loss in 11 games this season. After the blowout loss, K-State coach Jerome Tang took to the podium and delivered a stinging rebuke.
“This was embarrassing. These dudes do not deserve to wear this uniform. There will be very few of them in it next year. I am embarrassed for the university, for our fans, our student section. It is ridiculous,” Tang said. “We have practice at 6 a.m. tomorrow morning, and we will get this thing right. I have no answers, no words. Right now, I am pissed.”

“These dudes gotta have some pride. It means something to wear a K-State uniform. It means something to put on this purple. … They don’t love this place, so they don’t deserve to be here,” Tang replied. “I’d wear a paper bag too if I was them.”
Tang then walked out of the room.
