Ron Hunter to Tulane!

[CajunEXPRESS]

9 seasons, and 8 tournament wins. Three came in one season. Those stats speak volumes. It’s not one season with a player mutiny,a back stabbing assistant, injuries, attrition. There’s never been a season without issues beyond his control.

I had the chance to watch Ron Hunter's press conference.

Here's a few quotes from him that stuck out to me:

"My goal is to go to the NCAA tournament. Next year, I will be there some kind of way whether it's with you guys (looking at the team), with my wife, the (university) president.......I'm going to the NCAA tournament."

"All of these CBS, CBI, or whatever tournaments. We don't do that here. It's either the NCAA or the NIT."

"I have two goals for this team: to have the largest turnaround in NCAA history from going 0-18 in conference to the NCAA tournament and to prove everyone wrong."

As much as we like to rag on him, I can't rag on his vision.

I’m sure he’s going to do much better than 0/18. That’s a pretty low bar to successfully leap over.

I want to hear Coach Marlin say this.

I am not seeing a link to verify this data. Is this just someone's opinion of what is being paid? Do we have any factual data that verifies the this?

Really? I didn’t just type up coaches names and arbitrarily throw salaries next to them. Come on man, the reality is Big Fish sucks. We over pay for mediocre results.

I wish we’d pay $750k and hire an energetic younger coach who can raise money and win the right way. A personality like hudspeth with a better xo’s grasp of basketball.

Instead we pay $550k for Mr Rogers with more excuses than CNN.

Hunter was quoted several times in the couple of weeks prior to the conference tournament and said the same thing. It was all about three days in March. Said he wasn't pushing his team too hard and basically said he didn't care if they won the regular season title.
