I also think the bigs could do a better job of passing out of the double team once they do catch it on the block. After last night's game, I am wondering if we should consider free throw shooting ability for the inside guys when crafting end of the game lineups. Perhaps we should alternate them more with the offense-defense situations.
    Akuba gets stripped way too often when he does get the ball near the rim.

    Dr. Maggard has hired:

    A coordinator/assistant coach from a P5 program (Glasco, Napier)
    A D-III head coach (Key)
    A successful head coach with ties to the program (Deggs)
    He's promoted from within (Des)
    He's brought back a former assistant (Luc Godin-Men's tennis)
    A JUCO head coach (Kristi Gray)

    Here's the reality. We have no idea what will happen if/when there is an opening.

    What we do know is what he'll be looking for.

    Someone who knows what winning looks like.
    Someone who is a relentless recruiter.
    Someone who has the ability to forge positive relationships with student-athletes.
    Someone with a good moral compass.
    Someone who will make the classroom a priority.

    And, that person could come from anywhere.

    Sounds like you wrote up a description of BBOYD right there! Ha

    I don't know who the next coach will be. But I'm fairly certain, it won't be Brad or Brock.

    This doesn't seem like a promote-from-within scenario. And I think Brad would be much more likely as an assistant, as opposed to head coach.

    This is honestly getting funny. As much as I’d like a change, I’d love the epic meltdown if the guys pull it off in March. My heart is always for the Cajuns but mind says Georgia State or stAte.
    As much as I want him gone I hope Bob never loses another game while Louisiana coach. Those values can’t be reconciled with logic. Ones a hope, the other is logical.

    In his defense he gets mauled on just about every play. It's so funny how they disallow hand checking up top but down low you can pretty much hang on someone and it takes a lot to get a foul called.

    Yeah, but you are measured against your peers. He’s a defensive force and has too many takeaways.

    Perhaps it’s something good coaching might help. Can’t say but still too many takeaways

    Theo defends the rim well. Makes others adjust shot. He is not a dominate rebounder. Not a strong player. Brown or Dou play that role. My disappointment is that his inside shots are inconsistent. Of course, Brown missed some inside also. Theo’s inside presence is noticeable though. Reminds me of what my brother said about playing against Garland Williams in PE -basketball. Not fun. Yes. Our bball players played PE basketball back then.

    He’s better than Garland.

    I have watched two games from the court and two on + and I must say they were all waste of times. I went to all the games during my USL times and enjoyed them. These recent games are like watching Little league kid pitch first year. Not Very enjoyable. I really hope that we get a new coach with much better entertainment value.

    Just throwing out a name for now.

    Austin Claunch, HC at Nicholls State. He is 32 years old and has been at NSU for 4 years. First year he went 14-17, 2nd year he went 21-10, last year he went 17-6 and is currently 13-9 this year. Overall he is 66-43 as a head coach, struggling a little this year.

    He is young, knows how to recruit the area. I think his only downfall is the fact that he traditionally lives in the transfer portal for players, but that has become the nature of the beast of College Basketball. I think they currently have about 7 players that transferred in. But I will give this to him, he also has 7 players from Louisiana on his roster and only one of them is a transfer, the others have come directly out of HS. He has also worked at George Mason and Clemson.

    Just a thought.

    He took Richie Riley's spot when he left to take over South Alabama. He has a very bright future.
