[ZuluCajun]

Coach, what was your benchmark for this years team ? ,And if you fail to reach those benchmarks again, will you ever conceed to the fact that it is time to let someone else give it a shot ?

As bad as this team is, I think his "benchmark" would be a .500 record. However, I am sure he knows he is gone after this year baring a miracle post season appearence. I can't believe he would think he is entitled to a contract extension after taking the pride of the university to it's worse 5 year stretch in history.

If Coach Lee cares at all about UL Basketball, he should resign immediately. How many years do you think it will take to get UL back up to an NCAA/NIT tourney team year in and year out? This year has been the lowest of the lows.

1 to 2 years depending on if we make the right hire.

Remember that LaRyan, Daigle, Brandon Dison, Travis Bureau, Raymone Andrews, Javon Mitchell, Colby Batiste and Grandigo will all be back next year.

Plus we are supposed to have a talented juco guard coming in and a high school kid from Florida. The cupboard is not bare. With a couple of more pieces they may be picked to win the west next year.

I think you just figured out part of the problem.

No, I don't think those guys are the problem. We are the most talented team in Louisiana, except maybe Louisiana Tech.

It's not the players. It may be the way they are playing right now, but its not talent....

Coaching is the biggest problem. But the coach did recruit these guys and with a statement like that, you just lost all credibility

Your perspective is tiresome.

I don't think you are understanding what is being said. He's actually agreeing with you that the coaching of this team is the biggest downfall. What is wrong with his statement? Why don't you prove your credibility and support your statement. All he said was that with some coaching changes a hopefully a different attitude, the returning players can have some success. I don't get these statements about "Well this coach is the one who recruited them so they can't be any good".

Have you been to any games? Everything you said is true. But I have a hard time believing the talent level on this team is NCAA tournament quality.
