Watch South Alabama's coach go nuts

[Frenchie35]

I think loss in the outcome and the coaches fit is the question of how a player catches a ball passed to him when he is looking back toward his goal, takes 4 to 5 dribbles, and puts up a jump shot that leaves his fingers all within 2.4 secs. Not that in matters...just interesting.

And before anyone leaps on me, I well know that interesting things take place everywhere. _

After reading you post and reading between the line that some home court cooking could have taken place, my son, his wife and I went to the basketball courts on Cajundome Blv. and created the same shot. Of course he didn't make it. I threw the ball to him with his back to the goal, he turned and dribbled 4 times (he was turning right before the ball got to him) and threw the ball up. It took 2 secs. to leave his hands. His wife had the stop watch. We created it 3 times with the same results. Yes it can be done. You see it wasn't a set shot. It was put up in desperation........

_ I would imagine that the reason it's like this is because not all schools have the large screens like the CajunDome does. But, everyone can have a small screen on the scorer's table. It's about fairness and equality, which are the two qualities the NCAA operates by daily. _

HAHAHAHA!!!! I spewed a few chunks while reading that! Just read "Slam Dunked" for a peek into the NCAA's fairness doctrine!

_ The visiting coach allowed his emotions to get the best of him after a tough loss...understandable, but not a good excuse for a poor display of sportsmanship.

Is there a good reason not to have a monitor when one appears to be available....NO.

I know the clock keeper for all LSU home games very well. Without a doubt, a clock keeper has quick hands or slow hands based on "his" team's circumstances. I am not making any accusation. This is a fact of college basketball, has been for decades... everywhere the game is played. There are home court advantages and that is one of them. However, Daigle's catch, dribbling and shot were a whole lot faster than you probably think.

The monitor at courtside is a definite plus IMO... not required... easily supplied... simply not always done.

_ Rip on Arrow all you want. But the guy wins games and championships.

He has won nearly 600 career games. He has won three junior college national titles, four regular season conference titles and three conference tournament championships.

He also made four trips to the NCAA Tournament. That included two during his first stint at South Alabama, one at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi and again last season when he returned to South Alabama.

In no way do his accomplishments make his behavior acceptable the other night. But the guy knows how to coach. _

No one "ripped" Arrow. I remember Kobe's attorney telling the judge, "don't rip Kobe... he may like to rape women... but he wins games and championships." Again... no one "ripped" Arrow. He definitely has skills.

I have to somewhat agree with you. I doubt the clock keeper was sitting there just dying to push the button. I'm willing to bet that there was some minute delay, but I guess that's the benefit of home court advantage and prolly would have happened and happens at any team's home court. Bottom line is that the courtside monitor would not have overturned the shot.

Ask him bout the Tennessee game 20 yrs or so ago when the LSU clock operator had a brain fart with 8 secs to go in the game and failed to start the clock for 2 to 3 secs on an in bounds play and we loss on a put back at the buzzer. lol

Chit happens everywhere. You either overcome it or you don't.

Daigle made a great play. I take nothing away from his effort.

[Turbine]

I've never been warned by any adminstrator, so I'm assuming that I haven't broken any rules...

Do I need to get a hall 'monitor' now?

Ask Ole Miss when Bert Jones was QB'ing against them at the Cat House.

There is a reason he was called "The Ruston Rifle".

Boy, you going back to what....72 or so. I was a mere babe in the woods at that time. You mature guys have some great memory files, huh.

I was 11 and I remember it.

I was a freshman at LSU and was at that game! (Does that mean I'm old???) I was sitting low in the student section which was on the direct opposite end of the field from where the action was. We could just see all of those rebel flags waving and then suddenly drop. That's when we knew it was a TD. A couple of months later, I was in Blackham for the final run of the Shipley Express!

What an absolute joke of a coach, mentor and man. I feel sorry for the players on his team. There are other ways to voice your disapproval. What an embarrassment to South Alabama.
