Today's Press Conference

_ You guys obviously must have forgotten just over 14 years ago, when Fletcher left,now Jessie might not be our main guy, but he won, Robert was terrible, and you guys are taking this much too personal, you will never have no say so in who will get hired, or even who will get an interview, thats the strange thing you guys keep missing. And one guy says I am Coach, my name stands for when I was H.S in Lafayette, in the mid 90's, and when I graduated in 99, I have fond memories of Jessie, do I wish him back yes, will it happen, maybe not, but I wont allow you jokers to bash him totally, without searching the truth. There are some great candidates who could take this job and run with it, but how long will we keep them, the moment they start winning the big boys come and take them, and you know how we feel about that. So I say Jessie Evans, for reason bad or good, wether you like him or me or not, he will be here until he retires, were is he gonna go?...LOL... But lets go with your guys... Tim Floyd, Billy Kennedy, or even maybe a top assisant from a big University, he will be looking to move as soon as he has a great year or NCAA tourney run. Go with a H.S coach in the area. But stop calling people names on here, lets not show our ignorance, ok...Have a good nite. _

Ok man, I've heard the Jesse Evans talk. If he's such a great winner, explain his record at USF (Which was a losing one) and also explain his behavior that is loosely detailed in the following article. Yeah, this is a stable coaching hire!

_ I was a fan of Jessie as well. He won! He has been getting an unnecessary bad rap since he left.

However he left and he is gone, but worse than that, he quit his last job too, he walked out on the team he quit mid season.

He is now unqualified to coach a UL basketball team.

"Unnecessary"

Now, THAT simply isn't true.

Blaming Jessie for Robert's APR problems is unnecessary; it's just piling on an untruth and thnking people will buy it because of his other well known shortcomings.

While I have mentioned the APR issues, I've also pointed out to his management issues in regards to this program and discipline of his players on and off the court. Those have not necessarily been debated.

I understand and those other things haven't been debated because they are undebatable.

However APR kicked in after Jessie left and his only transfer recruit that affected Robert Lee negatively was Tiras Wade and he never even played under Jessie.
