Another shot: Robert Lee will remain UL's Ragin' Cajuns basketball coach

[Turbine]

_ Lee didn't use the Stephen Dees issue to create excuses for himself and as far as I know, he never commented on it unless asked. Conspiracy theorists abound. Geez. By listening in on your phone calls, I always pegged you as the idealistic guy who rarely sees things in a negative light. I guess Lee's only answer to make sure he made everyone happy there would have been to play Bureau and Daigle less I guess. That way, Dees wouldn't have left. _

It's not about Dees it is about the prolonged pattern where only the names change.

I have been crunching the numbers and am astouded by the turnover rate. Perhaps you are right and Lee doesn't use the word cancer. Then perhaps we and the media shouldn't either.

So its only a coach appointed word then right? I then suggest maybe comparing those numbers to those of other sunbelt or mid-major schools. Maybe there is a consistent theme or comparison that in line with other schools. I know you've been around a long time, we saw as much "turnover" with other coaches as Evans and Fletcher.

Lee is averaging 2 more players a year than Evans.

He is running double the players as was the NCAA goal.

With far shorter criminal records.

And with far shorter W's!!!

_ David's brother Steven was not on scholarship when he left the team. Steven was a walk-on. Players who are not on scholarship such as Lamar Roberson do not effect the APR. I think? _

The school only has to put down the scholarship players to count for the APR.

It can add walk-ons for GPA purposes but is not required to do so for the APR.

robert lee should be our coach forever

He is don't you know.
All he has to do is contend for a conference championship next year, and he will be offered a new forever contract.

It is a tough call when you rise to the top because the rest of your league was bad.

15-15 ??

WKU was bad? Hell, they went to the Sweet 16. USA was bad? They got an at large NCAA invite.

IMO 15 & 15 actually looked good after last season given the young roster we had. The huge stinker in the punch bowl was the Troy game in our final appearance at home in the SBC tourney but certainly we fans were justifiably very optimistic about in the 08-09 preseason.

However, and I say this after taking into account the toll multiple injuries had on us this season, despite the fact we had essentially everyone back plus some impressive looking transfers (at the time) to fill gaps, it simply never, ever came together.

My bad, I thought UL and WKU were in separate divisions.
