Sad to see him go. A true Ragin Cajun legend. He will be missed.

May God bless you Coach, and your family. We were certainly blessed by your presence.

After hearing this news, it makes me happy that Coach Marlin brought Coach Spipley back into the Cajun basketball family early this year. It would not have been right for him to leave this earth with those wounds still open. Coach Shipley was one of the key guys in putting this university on the map. Now that he is gone, maybe he will finally earn that place in the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame.

Still at a loss for words over the passing of Coach Shipley. We lost a great one today.

RIP Coach
