ASU knocks off UL women 74-66

[JMV JustMyView]

_ Guidry has 600+ wins because the Biddy Basketball program in Vermilion Parish is the best in the state for girls; and because Larry Becker teaches them how to play at Mt. Carmel. All she has to do is roll the ball out on the court.

My daughter played for her on two Sweet 16 teams. Trust me on this one; I can guarantee that any half-way decent coach at VC during most of Guidry's tenure would have won more games than she has.

I like Kim. But she is no basketball coach. _

She needs a man,lol... no pun intended...

I always had the same thoughts about her coaching ability.

I also agree with the Biddy program we had back then. Way ahead of the curve. I really haven't kept up with the Biddy teams lately.

You guys had a pretty good run there on talent for a few years. Ours just never never made it in to their high school. And that was our fault for never having anyone to coach them past 8th grade.

If we go the high school route we should get Danny Miller. He just got his 1000th career win this season and has taken 4 different programs to where they have never gotten before including 2 different schools to state championships.

It must be a moral victory to lose by less than double digits. Pokey Chatman is a good coach, give her another chance and create a nationwide buzz.

Besides Garrys first year there when he started 3-13 (but then after they had played for him ended up going to the Sweet Sixteen) when did VC beat TC? Well thats true Kim never wanted to play TC once Garry got there. I think you hit the nail on the head with Errol, Kim and numerous other high school coaches who win when they have players. Look at what Brodhead did at TC even when he did not have players. They always made a playoff run and went to Top 28 even in supposed rebuilding years. He knows everyone with money and power in Lafayette so he could raise money and build support in turning the program around. He also knows so many coaches (college and high school) that he could build a great staff.

Not sure about after 2000-2001 season, but I know VC didn't lose to TC in 97,98 or 99. 2000 could have been a loss, but don't remember for sure.

Why would people have a problem with a successful HS coach for the WBB program when discussion has come up over and over about a local HS football coach over our football program? I know the same people probably want neither.

Football is very different, but I see no reason we don't consider someone with strong ties to the area, proven at the highschool level, for a WBB coach. Why is that such a bad thing? Where did the Lotief's coach before UL... or Yvette for that matter?

I see it differently for Football and MBB... and it is different (a subject for a different thread).

I don't want a HS coach, but I completely agree with this statement.

It's a moo point (like a cow's opinion).

Rogers will probably get another year even if he loses the rest. Bank on it!

[Turbine]

The Lotief's had experience with running an organization.

That case aside ... If you are not happy wih the traditioal results consider this.

Besides Robichaux and coach Maj (VB) UL has never* hired coaches with some form of college head coaching experience.

* a 1 or 2 exceptions exist.

Care to make a small wager on that?

I spoke to a Cajun Athletics person when ya'll were in the 'Boro, and he told me that Rogers was gone bye-bye at year's end. Done Deal.
