Contract extension for Bob Marlin

[JMV JustMyView]

Standards ? What's that ?

Different standards and expectations exist for each sport at UL. That is not how it should be, but it is.

You mean he did that even with Marlin as his head coach?

Idea there was No automatic 1 year extension for a championship was false. I had come to believe that myself but have learned there truly was one. That being said I have no idea what is involved with the “multi year” extension supposedly agreed to. I know the coaches convention at Final Four begins tomorrow. In the event one of our current assistants moves on, having a new contract will make it easier to network with potential replacements. I have no idea if our guys are getting offers but with the good year we had, I would not ne surprised if other programs reach out to them.

I’d put down money that we don’t go to the NCAA tournament or win conference next year.

Theoretically there is only a 1 in 14 chance we win a championship. Therefore I understand wanting to make that bet.

Going to move this here because this is where the discussion belongs and not derail well deserved accolades for JB.



People like you are why more "Marlin haters" exist. Yes, he got JB to come to Louisiana. Not like he didn't have any ties here. We play in a one bid league, we've had NBA talent, other professional talent. Still can't capitalize on a Tennessee team that tried to give us the game. You could argue that JB stepping on the court with zero coaching made us a sunbelt contender. Most of us that you call "haters" really just want to see the program succeed and we don't think he's the answer. Not because we have it out for BM. We've seen this song and dance before. No need to keep you calendar clear in March until 2028.

Some know, some don't, some hate....I've played, seen, and witnessed enough basketball in my 68 years to tell the difference. I'm not a Bob hater or a Bob backer...What I object to is the constant stream of _____ing about the program with the only solution offered is to hire another coach... The solution to moving this team forward is more than just hiring another coach, most of us know, it goes way deeper than that. If anything, the post was meant to be sarcastic...don't get your diapers in a wad...

Over the last decade, the SBC regular season champion has not closed the deal in the conference tournament most years.

[BeauCajun]

Depends.

[ZoomZoom]

Depends.

Always…

I get the numbers, but seriously there are schools in that number that are not very serious about being one of SBC tournament teams.

How many teams in the SBC make the conference tournament?

[tdncz]

Unfathomable.

100% agree. The team made it as far as it did IN SPITE OF -- not BECAUSE OF Marlin.
Well another "multiple" years of mediocrity.... Go USL!!
