Major Key Alert

I dont disagree with your expectations nor do I disagree with the fact that we are not attaining them now. And if we arent reaching these soon, there needs to be changes.

And I can live with the patience that we've shown Marlin up until now as it sometimes takes longer to build a truly successful program than we'd like. The problem has been that we are no further along in terms of success than before he got here and the worst part of all of this is that we keep giving him extensions and raises.

So you're telling me it had nothing to do with the venue for which he practiced then? Good because I agree.

His fans would not want to see his FT shooting percentage if he practiced daily at the UL practice facility.

I just hate the thought of jumping the gun.( I know some of you feel like it is past time!) Making the wrong hire can set a program back years. I'm ok with being patient with mediocrity for a time if it is building to bigger and better things.

He did not get an extension nor a raise after last season. Very few would have supported such a move.

He got an extension by not getting replaced. He and FarmerBROWN are made for each other.

I agree that few people would have supported such a move but I suspect that SF has the support of the one person that counts in that decision making process.

Bingo

And according to Robe travel ball is really hurting H S and College baseball

reason is the less practice time

the Hispanics are taking hundreds of ground balls a day and an incredible # of swings---Americans have less practice time and smaller # of chances with the scheduling of games!~!!

It has been confirmed there is another addition to the team. JC Center named Stalcup (may have misspelled name) has enrolled in school and is attending classes. This is the guy who we signed in 2015 but he did not qualify. He has now become eligible. This may be significant as we now have four "bigs" on the team. How much he can contribute or how good of a player he will be is something I have no idea about.

Bringing in a replacement is not even remotely being considered by anyone who counts (administration folks) at this stage. After 3 consecutive winning seasons, that will be the case after this season no matter how poorly they do. They were winning seasons when only D1 games are considered as well. Of course the last two seasons were winning ones by a narrow margin and I won' t argue those results do not mirror the potential this program should have. Another reason no change will be made after this season is the three transfers. I doubt the program would have made that move without having some confidence they have some security. I am not saying you guys who want more do not have valid arguments. What I am saying is that no matter how many times folks here suggest a change should be made, it has no impact on decision makers in this regard.

Mike, how many years left to play? He was 7 ft, right??

He will have two years. I don't think he is a 7' guy but I believe he is taller than 6'9".

Has doesn't have much of an offensive game, but he can give them minutes in the paint and rebound at 6'11.
