Kennedy Brown to Duke!

What the h@#$ is happening to Oregon State?  What has gone wrong for Rueck?  There were always aspects of his personality I did not care for, but he seemed like a highly successful coach who had taken his team from the cellar to the top.  But his players are acting like the wheels have fallen off.

I don’t know anything for sure, but here are my two cents worth:
In February, I was watching a game on TV in which Oregon State led Arizona State by two points in the final minutes. Rueck was unhappy with a call and drew two technical fouls in secession. In making the game about himself, his team ended up losing that game by double digits. Until that game, I had a favorable impression of Rueck, who had had somewhat of a Fairy Tail tenure at OS, fielding a team out of walk-ones and leading OS to be a contender in a short span of time.
My impression of him completely changed that day as I watched his melt-down. He did not lead by example. The contest appeared to be Rueck, the little man, versus the world. That day, I lost respect for him as a coach. I wondered if his players did, too. I also wondered if his actions that day were not simply a part of a larger character flaw for Rueck. I wonder what other things he may have done during the season that alienated his team, because something seems to be unglued in Ore State!!
Rueck Erupts!
