Everything you have stated is spot on. Unfortunately, it will not be Bob to do what is needed. If he were that good of a coach, he would not have been at Sam Houston for as long as he was, and he would not have been here for 8 years. I have seen enough over the last 8 years to know that he can’t coach up a team.
My fear is that the program will have to hit rock bottom before a change is made as basketball is not a money generator and we have put all of our capital into football right now, which I’m perfectly fine with.
You are really a miserable human being.Yes i was there. Trust me you will never find any sort of bad behavior by Tony. He builds men that are ready for life after baseball Not like that punk of a basketball coach at a&m@br.
That sort of "example" shows me the kind of person you are. A miserable human being. but par for the course as an tiggeeerrr fan
I have often wondered why Coach Marlin does not employ zone defense more. I have mentioned to other coaches in the past as that as soon as one three goes in when we are in a zone he ditches it. They have not responded because I think they know we may be premature in leaving it.
Thanks for putting this so succinctly - RiverRanchMan has consistently proven his stripes as a Tiger Fan who really should be relegated to Tiger Droppings, which is much more his "class" level.
I was at the game last night and was nauseated by the actions of the low-class man-child coach - I understand the self-entitlement of the LSU fans since they paid for it moreso than earned it, but it is still really hard to continually be crapped on by the NCAA committees and its president, former LSU head, Emmerich. Same thing happened in softball last year. NCAA knows how important home-court advantage is.
Thanks, again, BasinBear, for hitting the nail on the head -
You've been a fan of basketball for many years, I think you know this has been problem for Coach Marlin. If you lack length inside, you have to protect the basketball with zone at times. It's not the answer all the time, but it certainly helps change the defensive look. Turnovers also hurt us last night, Stroman and Stove each had 5 a piece. That 's ten from our back court at crucial times. That is one area I would like to see Stroman improve upon next season.
With 1:39 to go and a 1 point game, trust me, he was SCARED.
TR is a good coach & has great character and instills that trait into his players, but you somewhat made my point. There were 10,000 LSU baseball fans "who were there" too and would suggest UL was the instigator in the incident in question, but since you're an UL fan, you have the moral authority to suggest otherwise. As I was trying to point out, you and others on RP have little credibility when critiquing anything about LSU. It doesn't matter what the situation is, you will find something negative from LSU's perspective. May I refer to your user ID as evidence. It really wasn't a big deal to me who won this BB game. I have UL basketball season tickets and wouldn't have minded seeing a NIT game in the Cajundome, if they were able to win. However, just as you want to classify most LSU fans negatively, these games make it difficult for local LSU fans to whole heartedly support UL due to the nonsense that emerges from the local UL zealots.
You see, this is the exact reason why it's hard for Cajun fans to pull for LSU. They scream "suck that Tiger _____, B____" and are rude, loud, and obnoxious to opposing fans. They constantly belittle our school, constantly tell us to "know our place" when we do everything we can to promote ourselves, and act like children whenever the name "Louisiana" shows up. And then, when someone calls them out on all of this, they magically play victim. And then to make matters worse, almost their entire fan base is currently PRAISING Will Wade for his classless timeout to end the game. But yet, we have "little credibility when critiquing LSU."
Seriously, let's leave the hypocrisy elsewhere, shall we?
.and closing the lane sooner. They tore us up driving in the lane in the 2nd quarter and killed us in rebounding in the first 1/2. We adjusted in the 2nd 1/2 and did a better job closing off the lane and defending the 3. I think we made good adjustments in the 2nd 1/2 and if they could have been made sooner, we would have won. Obviously their size was hard to defend. I'm still rattled from last night. That was a lot of fun.
