Men's Basketball vs UALR

Where is the money going to come from to replace Marlin? We are already scaling back Phase 1 of the "Master Plan" because lack of money. Who is going to step to buy his contract out?

We need to get out of this administratively induced state of depression and pony up regardless.

Didn't Marlin receive a salary increase and extension last year?

Yes. He was actually supposed to get it after year 1 but if my memory is correct, to help the university out, he waited a year to receive it.

I'd rather let marlin fulfill his contract term and that money go to fball expansion and holding onto hope of Hudspeth staying bc he sees investment into his program.

Y'all missed the point. I didn't say let's get Brad Stevens. I want someone LIKE the guy. Young, energetic, decent X's and O's, but can recruit. There has to be a gaggle of guys like that out there.

And wait this out? For how much longer?

If Marlin fails next year... without a doubt... we go round up that gaggle.

We all know that he isn't getting fired at the end of this year. But, I say we make him sign an agreement with us that he attends a "charm school", where he also agrees to random "charm tests" throughout this coming year. If he fails a "charm test", we have the right to fire him on the spot.

The tight wallet money depression is not from Marlin.

Hold on to the NET.

OH! "hope of Hudspeth" I thought you said 'rope of Hudspeth'

[CajunNation]

Soft.

A word that might come to typify a Marlin coached team.

Good idea ... but hope his contract is not in the to distant in the future if things don't turn around ... when is the final year?

Basketball does not depend upon the huge investment that football often requires to be great ... it is the great equalizer of college revenue sports ... there is no good reason we can not be much better.

Baseball anyone?

Softball first.
