Thread: Basketball Attendance

    Default Re: Basketball Attendance

    There seems to be a clear difference between the fan engagement with diamond sports vs football and basketball. The question is why. This is totally perception and I have not tried this with any of the 4 coaches in question. I feel like if I had a negative experience associated with their specific program, I could walk right up to Glasco or Deggs and they would not only hear the complaint, they would make it a point to right the situation as well as follow up to make sure I was happy. My perception of Marlin is that he wouldn't care and it would go in one ear and out the other. With Des, acknowledging that D1 head football coach is a monster of a responsibility, would not be approachable to the point described with Glasco and Deggs.

    Before you come with the pitchforks and say that I think I should have a direct line to the head football coach to complain, that is not what I'm saying. It is simply a feeling of connection. That feeling is there with some coaches who don't have attendance/engagement issues. It's not with the ones that do. Just something to think about.

    Get Will Wade's ass over here but we're way to smart for that. He's beneath us being he was at LSU. This guy runs circles around a ton of coaches in this country. Marlin couldn't carry this guy's luggage. This university is horrified of success.

    We went undefeated at home last season.

    And then went to the dance. I was waiting for the pitchforks to come out after a loss. It was inevitable. The season is not over. We are still in 4th place. One game out of 3rd and within striking distance of 1st/2nd.

    I’m curious JTJ to know what happened this year for you to come out guns a blazing. Even your ding dong cousin has come to a few games this year even though he despises the coach.

    By Marlin's own account...he says we have to win all conference home games because he doesn't expect to win on the road. That was a big loss that I think we may look back on when we miss out on being a top 4 team.

    Congratulations. I've been looking at big picture. His whole tenure. Where has he elevated the program, really? The same, very mediocre program. Some of yall believe it's "good enough".

Still if you have about 45 minutes free, do me a favor and listen to one of the We’re Talkin Podcast Craig and I record. You may find it interesting to learn things about the current team and why they are having success at the current time
    A huge difference Mike, and you gotta realize that !!!

    Found this online but can't find the year it was published, must be recent though as it seems to reflect Marlins win percentage via Wikipedia. Out of 101 Div 1 coaches with at least 5 years of experience Bob's win percentage ranks 80th. While I don't expect him to be in the top 20% our expectation shouldn't also be in the bottom 20% either. Go to page 5.

    It’s old data. Scott Cross at UTA on list, Coach K at Duke, Kennedy at Ole Miss, Tubby Smith at Memphis. Probably at least 6 to 7 years old since Penny started at Memphis in ‘18.

    Guessing thru 16-17 since that was Eric Konkel’s second year at neck and it showed him 2 years as a HC.

    It was said you went to a game last season and Lucy pulled the football. I was referring to the one game you attended only. We had to have won that one. Hard to pull the football in a victory.

    Re read my post. I'm not looking at 1 game or 1 season.
    I'm looking at his whole tenure. Again, tell me where Bob's tenure has elevated this program. Looking at his whole tenure, you're excited about maintaining that til he decides he's ready to retire? This is our best? C'mon man. When we have to constantly hear, "we gotta support the program for these kids", that means the coach/program is ____e, and you're begging for people to hang on.

    What is Coach Marlin's biggest win? His biggest top 100 win that really got our fanbase pumped up?

    Good morning Vic. Good to see you out at the game supporting the team.
