Cajuns Basketball Head Coach

[CajunCool]

I think McNeese could beat us.

I think we'd put them away early (well almost). Then Bob would use his time outs wisely and get them back in the game before they pull it out at the end after we shoot 40% from the line in the 2nd half.

Or lose to us by 15

Be careful with the truth. Doesn’t fit the narrative for some.

If someone is honestly following the program, they’d known that happened in December.

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.

I am confident if Dr Maggard conducts a search for a new basketball coach it will be comprehensive and he will hire the best person for the job. I trust him to continue building his cULture here.

Will Marlin get to recomend his replacement?

When A search for a new coach occurs, I doubt Dr. Maggard will solicit Coach Marlin’s recommendation. Now if Coach Marlin steps down voluntarily and leaves on good terms with the administration, he may be asked what is his opinion of the finalists. Dr. Maggard may consider that input when making his final decision. I predict Coach Marlin will continue to support the program once his tenure here ends.

Just let me go recruit, relate, then Coach em up… We will see one day what that combination can do for Cajun Nation…

If they can knock down the 3 like you used too I’d say we would have a chance in the way the game is played today…. We have struggled with threes the last few years… Garnett and Russell were the only ones on the team that could shoot it from outside… Jordan brown and Joe Charles show promise from beyond the arc. I wish we played half court style ball and work that motion offense. This is the first year in a long time we have 3 bigs who can play and I feel we don’t use them correctly. What do I know I’m just a fan lol.

I am also just a fan and am by no means an expert. However, I do have an opinion on how our inside guys are used. I think part of our turnover issue is trying to force the ball inside when the defense has collapsed on the bigs. 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.

I’d put free throws in the top of my three attributes a player must have at any position.

I agree, we have very talented players and just maybe coach does not have the drive anymore. Either make it happen or lets go hunting some NEW HC. Believe me I have loved talking with coach in years past and he is a very nice and knowledgeable coach but its time to WIN and PACK the DOME!

I have season tickets & attend most home games. This team is not talented. I could see this coming three years ago. His recruiting classes have not been good. Most recruits were deciding between UL & schools like McNeese & Nicholls. BM has not brought in any quality transfers either. Regardless, BM is ultimately responsible for the talent & it is time for a change.

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
