MBB Final: Louisiana 86, ULM 73

[RaginScotsman]

I know we complain about Marlin, but I fail to see how Keith Richard is still at ULM. I know financially they are strapped and he is a favorite son, being that he played and coached there for a long time, but man the stats are not great.

Overall Richard is 298-356, but at ULM he is much worse only going 148-240 (38% winning %) and 81-143 (36% winning %) in conference. He has not had a winning season since 2018 where he went 19-16 and only 3 winning seasons in 13. His best finish in conference was in 2014 and 2015 where they finished 2nd.

He was actually a pretty good coach win/loss wise at La Tech where he was 150-117 in 9 years at Tech, but the success has not translated at ULM.

Not sure what Richard is making, but it's the same administration that put this together to hire Terry Bowden so they can win 4-5 games a year. Seems like they are content with just staying afloat.

This was pulled from a 2021 article. If that's his salary, I can imagine it's the lowest in FBS.

"The proposed contract is a four-year agreement through Dec. 31, 2024. Bowden will earn $350,000 in base pay and a possible $50,000 in incentives if the Warhawks become bowl eligible or win the Sun Belt Conference — the same salary structure as former ULM coach Matt Viator.

Other benefits include an annual housing allowance of $40,000, an annual vehicle allowance of $10,000 and a monthly cell phone allowance of $45."

Hope he has rollover minutes.

Supposedly up to 600K. If the ULM administration, in the opinion of some, is content getting what they paid for, is that where we’re are heading overall?

If this is accurate, Keith Richard is making $231K a year. If that is correct, he is way overpaid for his results.

He is still has the under on Marlin in dollar cost per win.

The Big Fish is cruising . . .

Not saying that the zebras were bad, but the Hoax kept trying to get rid of Brown by driving their shoulders into him. They never got a foul for a move that’s almost always called a foul.

Any idea what the GS on the men’s basketball uniform signifies?

I’m saying the zebras were bad. Hoax in double bonus while only having 4 fouls called against them in first half. And it wasn’t the style of play. They were calling it one way on one end and another on the other end.

Not defending Marlin, but would you trade Richard's results in the exact same time frame and conference for Marlin's?

You can’t compare coaches because their circumstances are far from similar.
