In 2006, Bob Huggins restarted the heart of a K-State basketball program that had been so devoid of life for so long; the world had forgotten that, at one time, K-State was a force to be reckoned with.
Huggins transformed the identity of K-State basketball into a tough, physically-minded team that maybe could out-talent the guys on the other end of the court, but could and did out-tough and out-work those guys.
His disciple, Frank Martin, took it one step further by creating a rough and tough, angry, nasty basketball culture that so many K-State fans latched onto.
