Quack Fix: Kilkenny meets with Missouri's Anderson, Duck baseball heads to UCLA

PrintIt was a quiet week on the basketball coaching front, but we're back to the old rumor game. I don't know about you, but I missed it.
- John Hunt is reporting that Pat Kilkenny met with Missouri's Mike Anderson is El Paso, Texas yesterday. While it was reported by a Kansas City radio station that Anderson had turned down a $3 million offer from Oregon, that doesn't appear to be the case. The Register Guard is also picking up this story, and Bob Clark speculates a bit, but ends his piece by saying that not much is really known. I'm not gonna be paying much attention to these rumors until a press conference is scheduled.
- Oregon baseball has another big weekend series, as they head to UCLA to take on the #1 ranked Bruins. UCLA has been excellent so far this season, but in his series preview, Bruins Nation's Ryan Rosenblatt gives a lot of generous praise to the Ducks. Oregon can match UCLA's pitching, but will need to play better than they have in terms of batting and fielding if they want to win this series. While it's a bit premature for the Ducks to start thinking about the postseason, they're in contention, and a series win would set the Ducks up very nicely moving forward.
- Starting the first game of the series for the Ducks is their ace, Tyler Anderson, who has been lights out this year. Anderson has improved mentally from last season, as he's become more relaxed and is not trying to be perfect with every single pitch. The left-hander also been able to get his curve and change working, which makes life very hard for right handed hitters.
- Oregon softball is also taking on the top team in the country, as they're taking on the Washington Huskies at home this weekend. Oregon is ranked 17th in the country and tied for the conference lead with the Huskies, but its gonna be a tough series, as Washington is on a roll, coming off a sweet of then-No. 2 Arizona by a combined score of 18-4.
- We all know Jim Radcliffe because of his work with the football team, but he helps all sports. The latest to benefit is Jordan Stray of track and field. Stray competes in the hammer, but had lost much of his strength as his weight dipped. But after an offseason with Radcliffe, he now is at 240 lbs, and has been improving on his throws every single meet.
- Lastly, in some football news, John Hunt has a piece on Oregon's newest tight end, JUCO transfer Brandon Williams. He's been a pleasant surprise this spring, as he's shown surprising athleticism for an under-the-radar recruit. Williams isn't quite as smooth as Dickson was, but he's being used similarly. While replacing Dickson will be no easy task, Williams and David Paulson will be just fine.

you can not be an oregon resident if you live in you home state for a forth of the year
You have to get a job and everything.
"The code word for going on two might be, you know, "Mickelson,’’ because he always comes in second – stuff like that.'’
Yep
you have to basically get them to believe that your primary reason for being here is NOT school. You need to come here and have a job for a year before you apply. Which also means you need enough dough to get out here and support yourself for the time it takes you to find a job. You can get a quad in the campus area really cheaply and support yourself on a fast food job if you don’t mind a frugal living. I did that for the summer between high school graduation and starting college. I didn’t have much extra money, but it was better than wasting another summer in Oakridge.

This might help Link
Basically if you are going to school in Oregon UO will not ever consider you a resident of Oregon.
If you take more than 8 credits per term, in any term, in those first twelve months, the state will presume that your primary purpose for living in the state is for educational purposes, and you will continue to be classified as a nonresident.

Further reading down:
Individuals who are financially independent may take up to eight credits per term without jeopardizing their pursuit of residency classification. To qualify as an Oregon resident (for tuition purposes), one must live in Oregon for 12 consecutive months while taking eight credits or less per term while demonstrating that they are in the state for a primary purpose other than education (such as working, volunteering, or other purposes). The UO Community Education Program (CEP) limits non-admitted individuals who wish to attend UO courses the opportunity to take up to eight credits per term during the academic year at a reduced tuition rate. Explore the UO CEP for more information.

basically Oregon wants you to live here for a year and NOT be going to school before they will consider you a resident
Most inexplicably NOT Clark Kellogg?
Addicted to Quack
that's pretty standard everywhere
The important phrase here is “Individuals who are financially independent.” Financial Independence in financial terms is more than simply paying for yourself, basically if you are younger than 22 and not married with kids you’re screwed.
I was born in Oregon lived there until I was 14, moved to Washington (i could see Oregon from my house). Upon high school graduation I lived in Oregon for 1 1/2 years, applied to and was accepted to UO, but found out that despite the fact that I received zero financial assistance from my parents, I was not considered “financially independent.”
Long story made short: I ended up going to Evergreen in Olympia, (I certainly wasn’t going to UW), and I never regretted it. Maybe things have changed since then, but I remember being extremely frustrated with the bureaucracy.

So it seems as if,
You are going to Oregon part time and working, you can get residency status after a year.
Self-anointed President of the Kenjon Barner fan club.
I think it probably has to do with paying taxes.
As in, if you’re working, you’re paying them, and so are eligible for instate tuition. It was something like that back when I moved to Oregon at 19.
by HoodRiverDuck on Apr 17, 2010 1:36 PM PDT up reply actions
Yes if you technically don’t take more than 8 credit hours in any given term and yes are paying taxes. I’m not sure if dependency has anything to with it either, but I would suspect that if you’re parents are still claiming you as a dependent and are not residents of the state that could effect your ability to gain residency.
Most inexplicably NOT Clark Kellogg?

Do you happen to know...
If you become financially dependent on someone who is a working and taxpaying Oregonian can lead to residency status? I have not been able to find details on that yet.
Self-anointed President of the Kenjon Barner fan club.
This is pretty vague but I think it will come down to a review by the university
The UO’s Residency FAQ contains more information, but here are the key considerations in deciding if a student is an Oregon resident for tuition purposes:
-Establishment of a domicile in Oregon for a period of twelve months or more prior to the beginning of the term for which residency is sought
-Financial dependence on an Oregon resident, or financial independence
-Primary purpose for being in Oregon other than to obtain an education
-Nature and source of financial resources
-Various indicia of residency, such as ownership of a primary residence, permanent Oregon employment, payment of Oregon income taxes

Addicted to Quack
Unfortunately,
As long as you are continuously in school, you stay non-resident. And I believe it’s a year working as a non-student to get residency. My girlfriend at UO and some of our friends were out of state and never got resident status, which unfortunately meant big loans. Steer clear of Sally Mae, in case that might be in the picture.
It should be a year either before or after you start, taking time off working without being currently enrolled in classes, to get switched.
Its almost like the state wants more of out of staters money.
but that would never be the case
"The code word for going on two might be, you know, "Mickelson,’’ because he always comes in second – stuff like that.'’

What about Nate?
Like me, I’m sure everyone has their “Blazers win the NBA championship” futures bet ticket safely locked away (otherwise, why are you reading this — go back to reading Huskies blogs). Nate is getting a lot of press as a miracle coach for getting the boys to the playoffs, where (theoretically at least) anything can happen. He can’t be making more than PK is willing to pay. Does anyone else think he’s a viable candidate?
NBA guys make an average of $4-6MM. Nate’s not taking a pay cut to the top end of college hoops salaries.

yeah, he’s an upper salary range NBA coach where if Portland fires him (which would be the dumbest move they ever make) will have 5-10 teams knocking on his door to pay him more money then he would ever want.

No, I just appoint the coaches, Benz is the AD.

As long as I get paid I don’t care if the check is signed Bill Musgrave or Ben Z. Duck. Either way is fine as long as the check clears.

Who’s fault is it that the BS is flying? PK? Knight? No! It’s the stupid Oregon media. It’s the Jaynes and Canzano’s of the world who like to say stupid shit like Carlesimo is top of the list, before Kent is even officially fired. I don’t blame PK for that, as a matter of fact I think the fact that he’s been so tight lipped about who he’s targeting the media has nothing better to do then make shit up (see: Izzo, Tom).
As for the money, well sometimes you have to spend big to get what you want. I’m looking for a new car right now. Now I could easily spend $3-4k on a decent used vehicle that will get me from point A to point B as well as any other car. But if I want something that is going to impress my clients, last me a long time and be top of the line, I’m going to have to pay out the nose for it. Not to mention if I’m trying to buy the only one available and there are a number of other buyers out there including the person that already owns it.

Someone has to be feeding it
Whether it’s Knight, Kilkenny, someone in the AD, or the other end (ding ding ding, most likely). Either way, it makes Oregon look like crap. Everytime an “Oregon whiffed” story comes out, it looks terrible.
Mike Anderson’s good, and I like him, but is he your shiny new car? I don’t know if he is, especially since nobody out West knows him very well

Meh, screw it
I forgot how much he was already making at Mizzou. It’s gonna take 3 to get him to move.

I doubt that money is all that large of an issue.
Based on all of the rumors that are meaningless, it seems as if we are willing to go up to the 4 mil threshold.

Paying 4 is outlandish
3 puts him on the very high end of the spectrum. 4 puts him at the top

I can easily tell you who’s feeding it. The agents of the coaches who want to get paid. If I’m Alford’s agent and I know that Oregon has no interest in him, but his name being floated could land my client a nice new 4 year extension that I get paid on as well, then yeah, I’m going to go to UNM and the press and tell them that Oregon has interest in Alford. Now, because PK isn’t talking there is no one to refute the argument and UNM is forced to give him what he wants or risk losing him to a team school that can pay a hell of a lot more (BTW I think this is exactly what happened in the Tubby Smith situation, Oregon never really wanted Tubby, but Tubby wanted some new duds, hence all the persistent rumors)
And yes, I think Dixon, Stevens, Turgeon or Anderson would be a really nice new car.

Naturally
That’s where I figured most of it was coming from. The side effect is Oregon gets dicked and the coach’s school gets duped.
by Brian Floyd on Apr 16, 2010 10:54 PM PDT up reply actions
Exactly the only one on the short end of the stick in all of this is the school that is jumping to whatever their coach wants. Think about this, if Stevens decides he wants to do something else or for some reason doesn’t work out in 4 years, his school is going to owe him for 8 MORE YEARS!!! Who do you think that hurts? Oregon? Not at all. Butler is the one that is mortgaging their future in hope that he stays (and the same can be said for Turgeon, Alford, Tubby Smith, etc)

Can you explain the “40 minutes of hell” approach? Does it involve Tim Tebow on Dancing With The Stars?
No, really, what’s this coach have to offer?

The most entertaining brand of basketball you'll find
Straight up man, full court press all the time. They’ll press off a make, they faceguard the inbounds, they’ll be in the opponents hip pocket for 40 minutes. There’s no breaks, no slowing down, no breathers. They force turnovers and poor shots on D and they run on offense. I’ve got more than a man crush on the style.
It’s derived from this. Also called the fastest 40 minutes.

The only time I watched Mizzou all season was against WVU in the tourney,
Their full court press and the amount of turnovers they created were awesome to see.

That's not even his best team
Mike Anderson’s UAB team from a 2004 was. Beat UW 102-100 in the first round, beat top seeded Kentucky in the second.

How do you recruit for a system like that? I’m guessing the John Walls of the world run as fast as they can to get away from a system that requires lots of hard work and defense.
It does sound like fun, though.
by JonathanPDX on Apr 16, 2010 11:34 PM PDT up reply actions
That's the beauty of the system
You simply need athletes. You don’t need top tier talent to run the system, but you do need guys who are in shape. One he installs the system, he literally will run his team into the ground during the offseason. His teams may never be the most talented but they will be the most in shape. It also doesn’t lend itself to pulling high caliber recruits because his teams run 10 deep and nobody can play the system 40 minutes a night. You won’t have to worry about pulling big names because it really won’t matter at all.
by Brian Floyd on Apr 16, 2010 11:42 PM PDT up reply actions
And good recruits do want to play this system
One thing it does is allows the players to run and score. There’s no rules on offense, really, and it’s an up and down game. With the amount of turnovers it causes, it can also turn games into dunk contests (with Anderson’s team being the only dunkers).
by Brian Floyd on Apr 16, 2010 11:48 PM PDT up reply actions
You forget that it teaches you ultimate discipline. Many players like it because while it is not complicated it requires athletic ability, focus and discipline which can be coached. It’s really pretty simple, pressure the other team to hell, shoot score press, run, go, go, go, go!!!!
It’s definitely fun. The epitome of 40 minutes of hell were the Arkansas Razorbacks in the 90’s. Man they were hell to play against but fun to watch

Yep, Anderson's is a reinvented 40 minutes
The article I linked above has the original. It takes an immense amount of discipline to pull off, but it’s something that Anderson, and Richardson before him, have been able to do. When everything is working it’s fun as hell to watch, especially if you understand the system.

I forgot they trap all the corners
Also a key in the defense.

Well, it sounds like fun. I expect him to get a 10-year contract at Mizzou tomorrow.

Ducks down Bruins in LA!!!
5-4 Ducks!
Hopefully they can steal one more!
Great!
