MBB Schedule 22-23

[CajunVic]

ExecutiveCajun--you need to think like an executive. I am an executive in real life, if one of my Vice Presidents weren't doing a good job and I allow it to continue, whose fault is that? Ultimately, I am accountable for the performance of my team. Maggard is responsible for the entire athletic department, if something continues to happen it is because he is allowing it.

Also, he publicly stated several years ago he was going to be more involved in basketball scheduling.

It’s because he is probably more of a custodian in real life than an executive? This is play life.

The Drake game basically paid for the Puerto Rico trip. The only thing that surprised me in the final schedule was Samford at home vs McNeese on road. The game in Lake Charles is postponed a year. That deal along with Samford here allows us to meet the Learfield 14 home game requirement. We also go to Samford next year as that is a home and home deal. I understand the disappointment in having to use 3 non D1 games to get to 14. I share in that frustration. The road games are challenging enough however to prepare the team for conference play in my view.

H/H with Samford, McNeese, SLU and can't get deals done with the likes of Drake. Embarrassing.

i have been in the room on more than one occasion when doc explained his level of involvement with the mbb schedule. he is more involved than farmer. not hard to do cuz farmer did nothing. marlin has the lion share of responsibility for schedule. well him and murphy. if you want to say its on bryan because he kept in as the coach then thats a talk we can have

100% with this. For all the good Maggard has done, Football and Basketball scheduling are not his strong suite. Maybe he should ask Gerry how he does it....

Gerry has connections.

You employ someone to do a job. They continually perform below expectations. You continue to employ them. Who’s the failure?

Whenever the AD wife and Marlins wife are BFF, things tend to change.

Maggard is accountable for this--he is allowing it to happen. Marlin reports directly to him. If he wants Marlin's schedule to be tougher, he can tell Marlin to do this. He has stated he will be more involved and the schedule continues to suck. The accountability is on Maggard because he is allowing it which means he approves this. Football schedule is no different, who is the common denominator--Maggard

Cleaning the locker room and being noisy doesn't count.

It appears then that Dr M looked at it and felt it was acceptable. Why is everyone still complaining?

I know it's your job to protect the decisions of the admin, but it might accomplish more if you remained silent on this than to endorse 3 games of such low calibre.

You are correct about The USM and SLU situations. We play USM twice as conference games. SLU ended up having to play more conference games than anticipated due to schools coming back from the WAC. I would not be surprised if SLU comes here in 23-24.

I'm just happy Louisiana finally figured out a way to get a Home-n-home with USM.
