Looked it up in the dictonary, eh? As for who I am you sure haven't been paying much attention on this board. I've identified myself a number of times here. Do some research and you'll find everything you need to know about me. I can also be found in Rm 2164 in the white house on Johnston.

My problem, besides the ebonics, is your relentless ego and campaigning for the men's head coaching position when it wasn't (and isn't vacant). Frankly your resume doesn't look any different than that of Errol Rogers. Now you may actually be a better X's and O's guy than either Coach Lee or Rogers. But there is more than that to being a head coach at the D1A level. Given the way you present yourself on this board and the thoughts you previously expressed regarding "thug" players, I wouldn't want you on staff as an assistant right now much less as the head coach.

The good thing about immaturity is most people grow out of it. Do that and you might make a fine coach one day, maybe even one here at UL that we could be proud of.

_ Good points!!! Really good points!!! U need a leader, someone like myself, a natural born leader... Some one the team can trust and depend on... _

He's just busting your balls...Read what you wrote again, maybe you'll see what he saw. You come across slighty confident, most people don't toot their own horn and let others or their actions do it for them... No hate here, some people just say it like they see it.

It's all cool with me man...after meeting you, I know you are vary passionate about this team and only want the best.

I'm sorry, but anyone that says "Cajuns look for more inside play" either completely lacks a basic understanding of basketball, or is the eternal optimist who claims one's financial problems aren't the result of over spending, but merely due to under-earning.

This team has one player over 6'9", and has only 3 players over 6'7". Any third grader could validly prognosticate that they aren't going to be very successful inside.

No one that understands basketball thinks UL has the big guys to dominate inside on the offensive end. Adeife and Batiste are too raw. Barr has struggled for multiple reasons. Johnson and Gary are too slight and short to have their way inside. Wallace is too slow against quicker opponents.

Gradnigo was saying the players must get the ball inside more to keep defenders from staying so tight on the perimeter players. A pass inside doesn't always mean the post player is going to take a shot. There is such thing as a kickout for an open 3 if a defender sags into the lane. It's about making the inside game more of an option.

_ EBONICS,, LOL. now thats funny my boy... HA... I love it, you right i forgot that this was you... THe big white house... You making yur assumption of me, by what some one writes on a message board... This is a message board, not an english class... 90 % of all basketball players in college, that or the best players come from lower income homes, if you consider those guys to be thugs, just because of where they come from is your problem... ANd give some more qualities you need to be a D1 coach, since UL looks for all these things when they are hiring, ( more like who knows who )... IS something about you old folks, yall have not been listening to our new PRESIDENT, " its time for a change". You do not even know me personally, get to know besides, yur judgement from a message board, then maybe if you had some advice to give i might, might listen... and for you old folks its called IM text, you shorten up words and stuff, its 2009, a new day a new time... _

The "thugs" that I was refering to is in reference to your prior statements on these very same message boards where you, when commenting about Ryan Perrilloux's dismissal from State, in effect declared that if you were coach you would take thugs like him and that you didn't care what they did off the court or field of play. That is the kind of attitude from a coach that if put into practice will have the ncaa all up their ass. And we do not need that at UL.

And it doesn't mater what day or time it is, its called English. Its the language our new president speaks. I doubt he would have achieved what he has speaking like you. I don't care who you know, you won't get a head coaching job speaking like that in interviews. You're suppossed to be a college graduate, act like.

Save your racist assumptions for someone who'll buy what you're selling.

Brad,

Show us your resume to be the Head Coach of a Division 1 basketball program. Until then, I'll consider Errol Rogers a better candidate for the head coaching position than you.

Those are valid points. I think we have the size "on the roster" against other SBC teams. Our size inside just lack skill, confidence and experience (that's too many "lacks"). You are right that getting some good ball exchange from outside in/inside out would hopefully shake up the perimeter defense against us. I still think we run remedial screens and for whatever reason don't have any coordinated motion enough to break down many defenses. We are not gifted enough, to the man, to not need some "team offense". Puzzles me.

_ No body over here wants to be the head coach at UL boys r girls... Im just messing around with people... RELAX REBEL...What resume would you wanna see... Good assumption though of a better man for the job, hes doing great at it huh.. I think he is 11 and 39, thatss a great two year start.. good hire there... You must have went to teurlings huh, that explains the envy of guy who went to the real catholic school in lafayette... LOL, thats a joke, dont take it to heart, i dont even know if you went to teurlings... _

You certainly want to be the head coach.

Again, where's your resume showing that you are capable of being the head coach of a Division 1 men's basketball program?

_ What i meant by taking a thug, is that if i would sign him, i would have to make sure he was sincere about going to class, and handling his business... THen in return get the best for the basketball program with wins and good play... Thats all, i will not judge some one on there past r where they come from... If i meet a recruit and think he is bad for the program i wont sign him, but if he IMO is good i think he could stay focused, pass classes and stay out of trouble i will sign him... Wth R Perrilieaux, i would have took a chance on him if i could have met him before i would sign him, to see where his mind is, one big time impact player could be UL on there way, if it didnt work, its not like UL has not taking chances on players before... YOU CANT WIN THEM ALL... YOU KNOW!!! _

Nice spin, but back then you stated you did not care what they did off the court. This was in a discussion about Perilloux after he had been in repeated trouble and kicked off of State's team. I don't have a problem giving anyone a second or in some cases even a third chance. I agreed that given the facts Coach Lee did the right thing with Southall in givng him one more chance. Hopefully it helped the kid out and he did not cause any more trouble for UL.

Glad to hear in your reply to Rebel02 that you are not interested in being the coach at UL. We can all rest a little easier now.
