Welcome to UL Coach Rogers

I am in Dallas and was hoping someone will provide me with a link to the UL press conference. Thank you.

_ That was probably one of the worst choices UL could have ever made. Has violations in the past with NCAA has already turned down this job. Not real deserving just goes to show what UL focuses on. Brodhead should have without a doubt got that job _

There is no doubt that coach Gary Brodhead is a very good coach and certainly a qualified applicant. But, I strongly suggest that you, as a Broadhead supporter should not be making these allegations publicly. I can't tell you how many times I have heard allegations about high school coaches cheating or recruiting athletes, and never publicly made mentioned of them. I would hope that you would not want such allegations leveled at Coach Broadhead and his program on this board as well. I don't believe that such allegations should be made when you are dealing with a persons' career, without any documented evidence. I can understand your disappointment, but let's not make this a personal vendetta.

o get over yourself. Brodhead recruiting hahahaha what a joke. players come to his highschool because he is such a damn good coach he doesnt need to recruit. I would love to hear one player he recruited haha cause half the time he makes it to SWEET 16 with below average players. If he wanted to recruit I promise he would have recruited wayyyyy better players then he has had in the past. And it is not allegations I would not have posted that if I did not know for sure. Half of this mans violations are still being investigated. I can post whatever the hell I want just as you can. This is far from personal. I could careless just making mention that this is one of the worst choices UL made. So before you come at me then get your things straight cause I will post what I want about who I want and what I KNOWWWW about them. not what I THINK i know. Isnt that what this whole website is for? I repeat my self one more time for you who seem to not be able to READ, I WOULD NOT HAVE POSTED SOMETHING IF I KNEW IT WAS NOT TRUE, ALL COLLEGE COACHES KNOW IT IS TRUE AND BEING INVESTIGATED. Now whether you believe me or not is you. But you do the homework and find out for yourself if you seem to know so much about it.

I made no such allegations against Coach Broadhead. I stated that I can't count the times that people have made such allegations about coaches in this area. And I stated that I don't think you would like such allegations made against Coach Broadhead as a supporter. The NCAA has reported to the Compliance officer at UL that Coach Rogers has no issues a this time with any investigation. So until there is anything official from the NCAA to state otherwise, I have to give him the benefits. Perhaps at this time, you and others can take a step back from this decision. I'm quite certain that you have made some poor decisions in life, and you are not casting stones?

[BasketBall4Life]

well thats fine you are entitled to your own opionion. But what i Know is what I know im not gonna lie about something like that. and dont tell me about my decisions in life you dont know who iam to judge me. or tell me what kind of decisions of have made. I dont even know Brodhead but have heard many great things about him just think he deserved it and I can state whatever I would like. so PERHAPS at this time you can take to you counsling think you know all self to someone who cares and has time to listen to all the things you think you know. But I dont. and actually just to let you know i think i have made pretty sound decisions in my life so do not come a try to attack me personally because you certainly do not know me

I'm not stating that you are lying, just that you can't prove it! Your opinion is just that, an opinion. I have seen no evidence as of yet from you, just opinions based on emotion. And the fact that you have not posted in a single thread on this board until the coaching decision was made, tells me you are supporter or family member of Broadhead. In any case, it is easy to hide behind the keyboard and make such allegations. If you are going to make such allegations about a person that has family and friends in this community, then be prepared to face the fire. I haven't attacked you personally, but just called attention to your own hypocrisy. On one hand you make allegations about someone and impugn his reputation on this board, then on the other hand accuse me of personally attacking you. Perhaps you should take a hard look in the mirror and move on.

[BasketBall4Life]

perhaps u should look in the mirror and move on. actually i just found out about this forum and just came to look one day and decided to make a name haha.. yea you called it you know everything. my own hyprocrisy and u sitting here judging people i dont have to prove anything I have heard it with my own 2 ears about the violations from people who he did the violations against. you are sitting here juding people u dont even know.I dont have to hide behind a keyboard.

I really dont care what you have to say im a grown WOMANNNNN.. I dont have time to mess with people like you who just try and strike up controversy over something you know so little about. It wont be long before you find out on you own. I would be glad to talk to you in person name a place a time ill be there. I aint hiding behind a got damn thing. so as far as hyprocrisy u keep hiding behind your keyboard and when you are ready to be a MAN then come back. and maybe you will be blessed enough to talk to me again.

Grown woman? Then perhaps you should start acting like one. Again, I'm not the one making allegations on this board, you are! And from the looks of your language, a fowl mouth little smart a**. It's a shame you haven't taken the Catholic education you were given and learned something from it. I sure hope my children get more out of a Teurlings education then the ignorance and stupidity I have read in your statements.Good luck to you and your family.

[CajunCall]

Welcome Coach Errol Rogers, looking forward to your tenure.

[BasketBall4Life]

I did not go to a catholic school. Im not even from lafayette. And do not tell me about my fowl mouth i can say what i want to say like i said im GROWN. Sure hope your kids do not take after you. You act like you know me or something. the one who see ignorance and stupidity is usually the one who is just as ignorant and stupid. You do not know me or my family so stop trying to act like you know more or something. You wish you only knew who i was.

Errol Rogers made an immediate impact on one member of UL's women's basketball team. But it wasn't the impact he expected. "One girl came in and started screaming and hollering last night," Rogers said Wednesday during his introduction as the 11th coach in Ragin' Cajun history. That girl was Courtney Ratliff, who was part of the delegation of Cajun players that met with Rogers late Tuesday night. Ratliff, one of the seniors on next year's squad, recognized Rogers from her recruitment by Mississippi State out of junior college. "I was really scared about what was going to happen," Ratliff said. "When I saw him, I had to walk back outside and try to remember where I knew him from. I took a recruiting visit to Mississippi State ... we shot pool together. I think I beat him." Ratliff and her UL teammates have more confidence in Rogers' ability to continue the recent success of the program than in his pool game. The rest of the story Dan McDonald dmcdonald@theadvertiser.com
