UL vs Mississippi State cancelled

[GATOR GRUNT]

What would you say if it were done to us and their coach had some personal issues to attend to??? Youd probably wouldn't be so easy on them, i would bet

No I wouldn't. Like I said, mid-week non-conference games are quick to be cancelled, especially if there is a long driving distance, just because there is a possibility of rain. And that makes sense. This is a long grueling season for coaches, so if they have some personal issues that they have to deal with, especially if they or there family have medical issues. I can't disagree with that. These people are human.

He may have some personal issues to deal with, but wouldn't an assistant coach be capable of heading up a road trip?
Coaches in other sports have personal issues from time to time but scheduled games are played. I am certain this team would have competed hard, without the head coach, if given the chance to do so.
Just my 2 cents.

It would hardly be fair to the team to make a road trip with a single young coach. Granger has had the red A ever since she was demoted to assistant after being told this was her chance by Farmer. She did not make either tourney events, WKU, or USA.

About the only thing you can hold Lotief accountable for was the staff he assembled for the 2013 season. I am pretty sure he did not expect to lose Joy Webre Leblanc, hiring Granger to replace her. I cannot think he hired this guy Joshua Johnson to go play ball in the middle of the season. So he kind of dropped the ball on those things. One Joy? It is clear now seems to be unfortunate, then of course Granger came in at the last moment, who would think she would get Vermilon flu, and Johnson is a total mess up.

More successful than Robe, more succesful than HUD, way more success than anything our AD has attempted to date.. and you guys are questioning him for cancelling a midweek game?

Sorry Z. I apologize.
Making a judgement without all the information is just bad on my part.
Will pm you.

Softball plays 60 games a year and the schedule lockdown cannot be compared to other sports.

To start the season a "tournament" cancelled games knowing teams would meet later in the year.

In baseball (which plays a football season fewer games) games are dropped and added all season, every season.

This is no big deal for softball.

What this team needs most right now is cohesiveness and team unity. They need there head coach to be with them. This is not that big of a deal. Mike has to deal with a couple of medical procedures today and tomorrow. Mike and this team will survive without this mid-week game.

Thanks for this simple explanation Turbine.

So it is a medical....fine...coach you are in our prayers and hope all is well...this is a long time w/o a game so let's regroup get the batteries charged...find out who is coaching...get our star back...Godwin and find out what regional we are going to......gooooooo Cajuns...

Dude, you are sticking your foot in your mouth. He has a medical procedure that needs to be performed, but I'm sure that didn't matter to you. The SID department is not required to tell you or anyone else exactly what the personal business was, is a private matter.

On the matter of quitting that you raised, there are two individuals involved and both share in the blame regardless of your opinion. Both realize that it didn't have to come to that now, but it did and someone else had to step in and fix it.
Should you know some of the facts, the other party doesn't get a pass in my book either.

[CajunT]

Does anyone know how many actual assistants he currently has working with the team?

Alana Bowers and Josh. Josh is not back yet, so you don't go to Starkville with one coach. Both programs have a good relationship with each other and this will be worked out without problem.
