Players and coaches were supportive of him standing up for them on Saturday. That is the case publicly and privately. Personally I think he went overboard. I also think he knows he somewhat lost it. I don’t think he realized that was the case until he watched the film. At least that is the impression I got from remarks made at the radio show on Monday. As far as frequency of things like this, I don’t think it is as common as some believe. Example of that is fact he had not received a technical this season prior to Saturday night.

He knows the end is near.

He knows he has another year and beyond if they have a strong season in 2020-21. I and everyone else realizes that is a BIG IF. Who knows what they can accomplish with a healthy roster. Hope we find out. I do think stress of life and tough season may have contributed to the blow up to some degree.

Sweet 16? That's not even in anyone's sweet dreams anymore.

They won't be that good next year. They'll be middle of the road. 5-6 range. Kobe is a decent player but that's not near enough to make the jump we need. We are way more than Cadwell and Julien away from being a good ball club. He needs a SG which he hasnt had since Bartley left. And hadnt had before him either.

Anyway, I don't have anything nice to say so I won't say anything else. The groundwork has been laid and the sample size has more than been seen. Good luck.
Also the game, I forget who it was against, where he pushed an assistant and Wesley out the way during a huddle when he was frustrated. Might actually be the game you are referencing.

Got to go, cold front coming thru. Good fishing weather.
OK, so let me ask you this. If Gonzaga were for some reason not to win their conference tournament, do you think they would be left out or do you think there is a chance they would be left out? Because their SOS and RPI are both worse than SDSU's.

You really walking on the fence whenever you comment on Marlin. It's like you just gotta protect him somewhat but maybe not. Things like who knows WHAT IF he's got a healthy squad?
I'm going to simply ask you one thing that requires no what if. Would you recommend a person with Marlin resume as his replacement? Is that someone you'd want for another decade that hasn’t already made you their friend.
I don't think so, but?
Re: Sorry can't fire Marlin
Les Miles was LSU’s winningest coach of all time. Doesn’t change the fact that he wore out his welcome even though he averaged 10 wins a year during his tenure.
Marlin is a hot pile of garbage and this program is failing to create excitement. Which is 100% his fault.

The Zags have something 99.9% of the "mid majors" don't have. 20+ years of reputation goodwill along with millions and millions of dollars invested. Anywhere, anytime is their mantra. And walked the talk. Even with a weaker SOS, if it came down to the committee, the Zags would be treated like a big boy.
I'm watching how Maggard handles WBB. If WBB doesn't make the NCAA and finish 5th or lower, how Maggard handles that will tell you how Marlin will be handled after next season.
As coaches, both have endured personal losses and teams decimated by injuries. WBB is in good shape this year, the men should follow suit next year. Performance should be paramount for WBB this year, MBB next.
