I wouldn't so you don't have to worry.
Re: Sorry can't fire Marlin
Marlin acting like a total jerk on TV with his assistants holding him back and then saying he doesn’t know why he was tossed.
Wasn’t Broadhead suspended for this type of behavior?
Re: Sorry can't fire Marlin
I’m not a Marlin supporter, and I’m fine with him on this stuff.

Neither are the first UL coaches to blow up like that. Bobby Paschal blew up in Blackham one night. And baseball with I think it was Brad Kelly throwing a pizza at home plate.
Marlin won't be the last either

He's gone from Bobby Big Fish to Bobby Big Fitz....

Just pointing out that Gonzaga (WCC), Dayton (A10), SDSU (MWC) and Houston (AAC) are all in the top 25. I know some are going to say that they are different programs and should be considered major programs. But they just prove that you can win big as a Mid-Major.
Not with this staff though.

Outside of Gonzaga, none of those teams should be considered majors. You are right though, there is no reason we can't win as a mid major. I have seen on this site that people say that CBB is controlled by P5 schools and dominated at the top but I think the mid major has been playing a big role in the landscape for a while now.

SDSU, a mid major, has not played a ranked team all year, while the rest of the MWC conference went 0-21 against ranked opposition. As a mid major, we all know what that means...better win the conference tournament.

Sorry Mr. Shift, err C4L attempted to speak for me.
Not saying they won't, but it's best they do win their tournamet. Here's how last year's "mid majors" fared with "at large". The window of opportunity is very slim. All depends who gets upset in their tournaments at the power conference level.
Atlantic 10: 2 (VCU, SAINT LOUIS)
Mountain West: 2 (Nevada, UTAH STATE)
OVC: 2 (Belmont, MURRAY STATE)
WCC: 2 (Gonzaga, SAINT MARY'S)
I don't like this, but last year, here are our "peers":
America East: 1 (VERMONT)
Atlantic Sun: 1 (LIBERTY)
Big Sky: 1 (MONTANA)
Big South: 1 (GARDNER-WEBB)
Big West: 1 (UC IRVINE)
Colonial: 1 (NORTHEASTERN)
Conference USA: 1 (OLD DOMINION)
Horizon: 1 (NORTHERN KENTUCKY)
Ivy: 1 (YALE)
Metro Atlantic: 1 (IONA)
Mid-American: 1 (BUFFALO)
MEAC: 1 (NORTH CAROLINA CENTRAL)
Missouri Valley: 1 (BRADLEY)
Northeast: 1 (FAIRLEIGH DICKINSON)
Patriot: 1 (COLGATE)
Southern: 1 (WOFFORD)
Southland: 1 (ABILENE CHRISTIAN)
SWAC: 1 (PRAIRIE VIEW A&M)
Summit: 1 (NORTH DAKOTA STATE)
Sun Belt: 1 (GEORGIA STATE)
WAC: 1 (NEW MEXICO STATE)

Sorry, I have ZERO faith in the NCAA when it comes to selection Sunday.
Got to go, cold front coming thru. Good fishing weather.

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.
