Marlin Named To Inaugural Pensacola State College Hall of Fame Class

[Turbine]

Outside fan measure success based on postseason accomplishments FGCU & Loyola Chicago would not be household names without deep runs in the NCAA tournament.

I said outside world, not outside fan. You are pretty good at unraveling the fabric though.

Fact: This University's prestige has gone UP during Marlin's tenure.

Loyola Chicago is 7-5
FGCU is 5-8
So they’ve really parlayed those Cinderella runs into dynasties.

I’m not here to argue marlins tenure. I do think winning 20+ games a year consistently will eventually earn your program status and the tourney appearances will come. As opposed to one lucky Cinderella run automatically means your a good
Program.

I don’t think either of those teams are thought of currently as being any better than smu,ucf, Memphis, umass, st bon’s Of the world. None of those teams have made much noise lately.

Marlin will always get a standing ovation at PSC just like Bobby Paschal did at the dome Saturday night, and will in the future. We all have a past.

Congrats coach.

He won a national championship while there which kick started his career. He won't be able to accept the honor when it is presented as the ceremony is the same day as our home game against ULM.
His son will attend and accept for the family. Regardless of what you think of him now, I bet most would congratulate him for the honor.

No, it hasn't. At least not among people who really study the game. Perhaps among casual fans of the game who see only his winning percentage here and don't look any further.

Hate to pop your bubble, the coaching tree of Jim Hatfield has the utmost respect for our program. Think they know college basketball better than all of us combined. This I know first hand.

Hatfield was even here for opening exhibition game.

[Million$Mullet]

Damn! Give him an extension and raise!

Yes after 15 years of 20 wins our dynasty will finally begin and we will win a game in the NCAA tournament

Ahh forgot his team was a top 4 projected team & him beating OK in the tournament oh almost forgot his 4 SBC championships in 5 years ...

Hard core fans are superb at unraveling the fabric, but to the outside world, the prestige of this university has gone way up under Marlin.

I couldn't disagree more. We scare no one. 1 NCAA appearance in 8 years does not scare the average program let alone the elite programs. Until we can dominate this poor basketball conference called the Sun Belt we won't get much respect. Winning 20 games is great but when you see what our schedule is and who we beat to get to 20 wins, it’s very unimpressive. Marlin gets paid way to much to get the results we’re getting. Truth sucks but it's reality.
