Bob Marlin

[VObserver]

A starter and an extraordinary recruit who may very well been freshman of the year.

Pure speculation. No freshman in Marlin's tenure has been freshman of the year IIRC, though Long might have been.

Look a little deeper. The bulk of those wins were against bottom feeders. He has a losing record at UL to schools in the top 200 RPI. In fact, only in 2014 and 2018 did he have a winning record vs top 200 RPI, and he has never won a game against a power conference school in the top 100 RPI.

Great info! Proves the point even more. The guy's has been here since 2010. No other D1 school in the country worth a $h$t would tolerate this.

Well of course not. After all we’re always loaded with upper classmates. 😉😉😉

I doubt he would have topped jones at Coastal Carolina. He would have had to be teams second leading scorer behind Gant to do so and avg 14 a game.

This thread is absurd.

Marlin has some of his key starters coming back for next year, and one hell of a recruiting class. Firing him now would be dumb, as we’d be hitting reset on the building momentum for next season.

^^^^Straight outta the apologist handbook

Well done, Runner. Well done.

Nobody coming back was clutch. None. I’m gonna say clutch and key should be synonymous, but maybe you don’t. I’m not gonna forget that missed critical free throw by Russell in the final minute. Ended up being the difference. I’ll absolutely forgive but not forget.

OG took the online course the summer between Evans and Lee.

Lee's first team was pretty salty. He had a couple of untimely transfers out, took a massive APR hit, followed by David Walker requiring a system reboot without the Evans style transfers.

The program has never fully recovered.

Incorrect. He took the first two courses in the Fall of '03. However there was no wrong doing on the part of either coach and they are not even mentioned in the NCAA report. It all went back to the compliance coordinator. We got nailed pretty hard on that one and the enforcement committee even used the word "dismayed" to describe how bad it was. Not only did we vacate a bunch of wins and have to remove any mention of our NCAA tournament apperance we also lost the revenue from that apperance. See below for the full report.

Marlin has only won 8 tournament games in his entire career here....

If you take out the outlier 2014 that's only 5 tournaments game wins in 8 seasons

That really puts things in perspective.

this is the problem we and ( Dr. Maggard) faces. Marlins 9 year track record at Louisiana warrants him being let go, point blank. but in the 2 years Dr. Maggard has been here, Marlin has most likely recruited his 2 best recruiting classes and has won a conference reg season championship. next years team on paper should be the deepest team coach has had, ,talent wise including several high level recruits, including 2 top in-state talents. i would predict Dr. Maggard eats this years results and give one final chance for coach Marlin next year before making a move.

Jones is a guy we passed on. Another blunder by this staff.

Well then we know what he should accomplish with his deepest team ever then.
