I am highly confident none of the regular basketball boosters have that kind of money. Perhaps someone else does. While I would not bet either way, if forced to make a prediction I would say he returns next season. A complete collapse the rest of the way may change my prediction.

Marlin is already complaining and making the excuse about how Georgia State will not get to 75% sun belt games played, which will make them the 6 seed and with us most likely being the 3rd seed, we will have to play first round. He knows he is staring at a first round exit and he's already shooting from the hip. A collapse could happen, UTA gets Azore back this week.

What are your thoughts on Marlin’s statement comparing UL Basketball Team to the Football team and level of competition?

If you have already addressed this I must have missed the post.

That was definitely a poor decision to bring football into the discussion. I think it was due to frustration due to his team not playing well that night. He was trying to make the point that ULM is better than their record. He should have just said that was evident by all the close games that the Warhawks had played. He was a little short with the media that night prior to the interview with Jay. Just more evidence of how upset he was with how the game turned out. I have no idea if the AD discussed this with him. My bet is they did not talk about it. One reason is they left for Monroe the very next morning. Maybe it will be talked about in the post season review.

Well he could have pointed out how many games Louisiana won in a one possession score as a comparison. Then he could have said that we could have been in essence the same as the Hoax, just as bad only a better record.

I'm glad I did not hear that comment he made about football but then again, it wouldn't have changed my mind in either direction of why I don't think he's the person to lead this program.

Agreed, but it’s a reflection of how Bob Marlin deflects, and never actually takes responsibility for failure. I’m not going to go through his decade plus litany of why everything good he owns, and none of the bad.
