UL's Marlin miffed over NCAA Tournament mid-major snubs

[California Cajun]

I think mid major coaches are part of the solution. I have long thought the better mid majors need to schedule each other. Over time I think the product of more schools would improve, as well as recruiting. Nail biting, gut wrenching games would probably attract more fans. If more mid majors are really good, as a block they would have more influence. Maybe then they could push for a limit of schools per conference invited.

All season I've heard very negative words about the basketball program. Who would want to go to the Cajundome after hearing all this feedback? Is next year's team going to be any better?

I think mid majors like UL, with better than average interest in this sport in their region, must put their heads together and raise the bar of mid major basketball.

I think mid major coaches and their schools refuse to try something new. If no bold measures are taken, what you see is what you're going to get next year, and next decade for that matter. Are we any better off than what Jessie Evans left behind? Or Fletcher? Or Paschal? Or Shipley?

Mid major basketball needs a stimulus.

I am not singling out any one coach or school.
