I can't believe Rogers was retained! Says a lot about how much the administration cares about Women's basketball.

On the men's side I am excited about bringing some new blood in to coach. I would like to see this team become a dominant one. Whoever the new coach is, we should give him about 5 years to right the ship.

This is not football. The ship can be righted very quickly. We are probably a coach and a rebounder away from competing in the SBC.

Sources say that UL's other fall signee, Jeffery Reese, was contacted about the coaching change last night.

My thoughts after today's press conference:

Josh, in your opinion, how likely is Tim Floyd here?

[Parrott]

Likely here as in right now to meet with Carr or as in getting/taking the job?

[raginsaints]

Getting/taking the job.





Just realized how poorly I worded that.

[Parrott]

No worries. He certainly could get the job if the NCAA clears him of all wrongdoing and agrees to salary terms. Right now, my sources are split on whether he actually will be cleared.

The school is going to hear from even more candidates now that the decision to not retain Lee has been made official. Everyone pushing for Floyd could be doing so premature. There might be another name that's an even better fit. While the school wants to work quickly, at the same time I'd expect the administration to make sure that it's not rushing their decision and ultimately miss out on a highly qualified candidate.
