Kevin Keathley offered coaching gig at Louisiana?

_ CoachKeathley: on twitter: Making it official today, by calling Jay and letting him know what I'm doing.I 've really enjoyed my time as the Miners Coach

Do you know who Jay is? I presume he is someone on the management team of the CBA team the coach was involved with. Could you ask him why he wants to leave a head coach position to become a college assistant through Twitter? Also ask him if he knows what his responsibilities will be here?

_ Because he knows Lee is out in a year, if he comes in and turns some heads maybe he thinks he has a shot _

That statement is contradictory. If he turns some heads, that will mean the team does better than expected and Coach Lee will be retained. If the team does poorly, he won't turn any heads.

"The 2008-2009 CBA season started with just four teams instead of the expected five: the Pittsburgh Xplosion folded under unclear circumstances and the league scheduled games against American Basketball Association (ABA) teams for the first month of the season just to stay afloat. [1] The maneuver was not enough, and on February 2, the league announced a halt to operations, turning a scheduled series between the Albany Patroons and Lawton-Fort Sill Cavalry into the league championship series.[2]"

The CBA has apparently folded for good.

Jay is actually Jay Fiedler, former Dolphins QB who's ownership group owns the EK Miners that Keathley coaches for.

I looks like Coach Keathley has developed a philosophy that is outside the box. I like the fact that his is academic about his system, which shows he would be a good teacher. If allowed to implement his system it could give the fans something to really look forward to next year. He probably looks at the UL job as an experiment on his system. I think Coach Keathley wants to see if his system will work at the college level with more athletic players and against better competition.

Maybe we can be the minor league/developmental team for all of the other NCAA D-1, D-2, NAIA, etc... programs.

And heres a video I foud on Keathley. Looks to be a few years old, but still a good overview of his Pre-East Kentucky career.

This guy looks like a real diamond in the rough! With the talent we have coming back next year, if they can pick up his offense, Lee and the gang might just be able to pull off a job saving turn around.

Well, the system worked for Arkansas in 1994 (National Champs). Also, Loyola-Marymount, a small school made the Final Four in 1990. Missouri in 2009! That system does have it's downsides, but it is RIDCULOUSLY exciting to watch. We have the player personnel that can adapt to that style of play pretty easily. Next year could actually be exciting at the dome.
