Special year in Basketball

[ZoomZoom]

Being our commissioner is a basketball guy, that might be one of multiple starting points when the search time arrives.

So since there is still a chance Marlin is here beyond this year, what are the criteria to measure out if he stays are not? What are the goals? What happens if he wins the league like in 17-18 and ____s the bed in the conference tournament? It can happen, especially with the new additions making it tougher this year. I think this needs to be discussed if the university is open to keeping him.

We can have this discussion, for entertainment purposes. History shows that the administration does not pay much attention to the views expressed on this forum on this issue. Having said that, I will give an opinion which I think is pretty close to how things are being viewed at this time. A championship of any sort, regular season or tournament will result in retainment. I don't think a new contract will be more than two years. Any conference finish less than third place results in a change. Now if the results are in between those two scenarios, I don't have a clue as to what will occur. I think Express had the right idea. Let's enjoy any success we do have. Again, this is just opinion. I could be completely off base but don't think I am.

Back to the original premise of this thread. I have no idea if this will be a special season as it is way too early for that type of prediction. However, there is a highlight from the Tech game shown on the Ragin Cajuns MBB Instagram Page that gives me encouragement going forward. Terrance Lewis has the ball at the top of the key when he drops a pass down on the block to Jordan Brown. That is generally referred to as big man high-low action with the guy on the block trying to score from that point. However Jordan notices at least three Techsters are converging on him and sees Greg Williams Jr. cutting to the basket from the corner near the Cajuns bench. He drops it off nicely to Greg who dunks it as part of the late second half surge we enjoyed last Thursday night. If you get a chance to view it, check it out. Beautiful basketball play demonstrated in that sequence. It might encourage you that we could have more success as well going forward this season.

You remember asking the same question when they were replacing Bustle in football? There's always a young coach who needs a shot. See Chris Beard who was ultra successful at UALR and is now at Texas. This isn't even a question.

So you’re looking for a guy that’ll come in for a year or 2 and then move on?

wont get conference record for wins that way…..did you know marlin was also second in total wins in his prior conference as well. (if cajuns transferred he could double dip)

One, two or four.

Should keep the media focused and Louisiana on the front page as well as the fan base on its toes.

Rather have a guy that wins and moves than the multiple lifers we have working on their LASAR system retirement, rarely or never delivering a NCAA tournament team.

It’s not just basketball either.

That’s how we end up USLing things…people getting too comfortable on both sides of the management fence, which leads to complacency which leads to “meh”, she/he’s a good person, justified by fans loving to “touch the cloak” and letting others know they did.

RP Quote of the Day Award right here

At the end of the day, the ones who want to "touch the cloak" make it all about them over the program. It brings me back to when Mike Singletary coached the 49ers and benched Vernon Davis after getting an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty when he said, "It is more about them than it is about the team. Cannot play with them, cannot win with them, cannot coach with them. Can't do it. I want winners. I want people that want to win."

Front page of what?
