Criticism of Stansbury is Misguided

When WKU men’s basketball Head Coach Rick Stansbury was asked how to stop Marshall from winning in its own building last weekend, all he could do was chuckle and say, “I don’t have the answer to that one,” and how couldn’t he?

The first-year WKU head coach is no stranger to success on the court, but this season has been a challenge for the entire Hilltopper program.

When former Head Coach Ray Harper parted ways with WKU last spring along with key perimeter players Fred Edmond, Chris McNeal and Marlon Hunter, Stansbury took over and was handed a fragmented roster with zero guards in place for the 2016-2017 season.
