    Bobby Paschal, MBB coach from 1978 to 1987. NCAA in 82 and 83. NIT in 1980, 84 and 85. NIT was a major tournament in those days. Reached third round in 1980, semifinals in 1984, and second round in 1985. In his tenure, the Cajuns defeated Texas, Auburn, Tennessee, Kansas, Florida, Michigan State, and other prominent schools I can't think of now. It is a mystery to me why he has not been placed in the Hall before today. Hopefully someone nominates him.

    Note, I did place a recommendation for Coach Paschal on the Facebook page that was linked in a previous post.

    I don't think Don meets the criteria. I believe you had to be an athlete, coach, or administrator. You also need a college degree or have had significant accomplishments at the professional level.

    Levi will certainly be considered one day. I believe you have to be five years past your last season to be considered. He is not there yet.
