After some recent uncertainty about his future, Robert Lee will continue his tenure at UL next season.

Lee will be back for a sixth year as the head men's basketball coach and 14th season overall with the program following a 10-20 campaign last season. That followed a 2007-08 season in which the team went 15-15 overall and won a share of the Sun Belt's West Division title with an 11-7 record.

With one year left on his contract, Lee knows his team must continue to find academic success and win more games in 2009-10 for his time with the Cajuns to continue. If the team doesn't meet Academic Progress Rate standards in 2008-09, it will lose a scholarship and face a postseason ban. All of UL's athletic teams would be banned from postseason play with another subpar APR score in 2009-10.
