I don’t need to name anyone. It’s the same usual suspects that have been openly saying they hope the Cajuns lose so Bob gets fired. And if turbine says he didn’t whack them and merged them into the game thread then it should be there for everyone to see who said what.
I did not want our team to lose, but I was not surprised when they did not.
Bob Marlin coached teams at Louisiana have never beaten a top 100 NET or RPI Power Conference school.
I had hoped last night would be different.
Exactly!
Each year we've had a legit NBA talent on the team, we've made it to the tournament.
Meanwhile, other smaller schools in the state have advanced to the second round and beaten teams within the top 100 RPI.
The fact that we are discussing this after a NCAA tournament appearance is an indicator of fan support for the leader of our basketball program.
I've call him that too. Not as a knock but because it was a term he used himself in an interview with 1420. I know he and the team have higher expectations. I treat team expectations as fair game for fans to latch onto.
To Marlin. I like him as a person. I like the teams/players he coaches. I'm not a basketball guy but still get confused/frustrated when the team struggles. Like in the first half last night.
I'm also not a "fire the coach" guy. I'd be happy if Marlin has a plan to address any player losses and Maggard feels confident, that he stay on.
In fact, I think an administration would be nuts to part ways with him in any fashion that wasn't him retiring. You don't fire coaches that just won a championship.
Long term, who would be "the guy?" Someone who can take us to the next level? I guess this goes for all the teams that are expected to win. Is winning a conference championship our ceiling? Do you gamble with that and bring on someone else you think could get us there? Who knows.
