Men's Basketball

I'm not much of a basketball guy, but I think there's an issue. We're asked to expect the highest of results in football, baseball, and softball. However, basketball is regarded as work-in-progress for three straight years...

Why can fans expect more from some sports, but not basketball?

At this point, it is kind of like impeachment - just another thread with no resultant ending.

Marlin is so close to turning this around just needs another 4 or 5 years tops

I genuinely want to know why it's held to a different standard.

Take a look and Marlin's staff and read their biographies. Not one of those guys can walk into a Louisiana high school gym without an introduction.

All of those guys have either played for him or worked with him for a very long time. None of the coaches had prior P5 experience.

We need at least one assistant that Marlin respects and he's secure enough can push back on Marlin. Most of all we need a guy on staff who has deep AAU connections and can flat out recruit. Similar to what Rebowe and Leger are to football. Those guys can walk into any high school in Louisiana with little notice or introduction.

Its because we cant afford to buy any good home games. Isnt that the normal excuse?

At this point I'm a little glad we can't buy any good home games. I would hate to think we would pay for a good team to come stomp us on our home court in front of 2500 people.

I’ve long supported Marlin. And I still really like him as a person. But it’s time for Maggard to put his stamp on the basketball program and make a change after the year. Basketball was my favorite UL sport in college and at this point, today, my interest is near zero.
