MBB: Louisiana vs South Alabama

[cajuns80]

I don't know the details but some have said the previous contract called for an automatic extension with either a regular season championship or tournament championship. He can't do anything right now to fix anything due to the situation we are in. I would not be surprised if he stood pat right now if someone walked in with a check right now for the buyout due to the injury situation. I don't know that for sure but that is my guess. A year from now things will be different without better results. I can't tell you how much better the results need to be for nothing to change and few can. I doubt what happens a year from now has crossed his mind as he has plenty of other things to think about now.

That’s fine, we can keep digging that hole deeper and deeper. There will be nothing left of Cajun basketball by the time they get around to releasing Marlin.

How hard is it to understand that the money tree is bare. If you have a check, approach Dr. M and get it done. Otherwise Please.

[CajunEXPRESS]

It’s important that nobody Please. If you tire from the repeated complaints maybe ignore the thread. Maggard we now know reads this board, or has a person doing it for him.

He’ll find the money if enough people quit going. Until then it’s good that we vent. Nothing could be worse than total and complete apathy. When enough people Please he’s waited too long.

You are free to Express your thoughts. So am I. Repeated harping with no concept of what one is harping about needs to be addressed. You handle it the way you like and I will do likewise.

You’re telling the fan base to shut up lol.

I don't get upset with whatever people say here as boards like this are for sharing opinions and venting. I get repetitive myself sometimes. For example a repetitive statement of mine that warrants being said again is; those who say that next year will be too late to make a change in basketball are assuming that we can't have a big year next year. Too often that view is presented as FACT when it is only OPINION. If you are so confident that next season won't be a good one, go to Vegas. I also know that at times what is said here has little influence on decisions while at other times it does. The basketball coaching staff situation at this time is not influenced by comments here. In a year, that may be different and that could go either way.

I don't have a problem for the most part with what he said because it was the truth and he didn't throw anybody in particular under the bus. He said they missed layups, open shots and made poor decisions when they couldn't afford to. The issue I have is the philosophy in general. We shot 30 3's for a team that is dead last in the league in 3 pt percentage. Honestly, we were lucky to shoot that because Russell obviously got real hot. If you can't adjust your philosophy to address your lack of consistent shooting, that tells me all I need to know.

I’ve seen you rant about this for years but it is just simple math.

We currently shoot 32% from 3. This adds up to 0.96 pts. per shot.

In order to get the same points per shot from a midrange shot we’d have to shoot 48% from midrange. We are currently shooting 47% inside the arc, but I promise you our midrange shot percentage is much much lower than 47%. Statistically, midrange shots are nearly as hard to make as 3pt shots.

When you actually break down the numbers it’s not even close. Even on a bad 3pt shooting team, shooting threes is always the best option.

Mike, your a die hard MBB fan. Cajuns style. I respect you for that.. I'm a caual fan as I have stated more than once. This brand of MBB over a decade has not moved the needle for ME. But damn I applaud your persistence. You want to believe. Loyal and true.. Props to you. Every sport needs fans like you.. Once again, I applaud your faith.

The program absolutely needs die hard fans, just not too many. If we had 30K diehards we’d still have Baldwin, heck Stokely would never have been released. It’s the bandwagon fans not the diehards who ultimately create change.

No argument here.. I just wanted to tel Mike that his fandom is appreciated. I have many people who ask why my wife and I are such die hard UL fans and support OUR University so hard. My response is the always the same, "You have to be one to understand!".
