Nominate Bob Marlin's Biggest Win

[ULvictory]

If it was worst than he would have been gone a long time ago, the problem with this is it is just enough to get by....it is time to bring someone in to elevate us to the next level. Like Hud did when Bustle left. Someone young, energetic and get butts back in the seats. It is that time.

The real question now is, judging by the current state of the basketball program, are we going up or down moving forward? With season ticket sales this past year and a 5th place finish in conference (4th out of 6th season we have finished below 4th place), I think we all know the answer to that.

If they want better results, time to start selling the product to the community.

A low seed in the SBC tournament has a 0.292% chance of winning the conf tourney, everything equal. The top two seeds have a 25% chance of winning.

In 14 years, CBM has only twice started us out with a 25% chance out of the gate. If we're a one bid league, we need to find someone that can consistently get us as best of a percentage of winning the conference tournament as it stands currently.

Interestingly enough, we did not win the tournament one of those two times.

Well it’s only a 25% a positive probability outcome. So 75% chance of failure. Not very interesting IMO.

[CajunRed]

NOT justifying, but it could be worse. And I've heard of no rumblings up there even thou losing at a .624 clip.

I standards should be considerably higher than ULM.

Admin don't give a Schlitz! Neither do i!

Whenever the university gets around to hiring some youngish whippersnapper coach, when putting together bonus incentives, shouldn't attendance or at least ticket sales be a bonus opportunity? Winning should grow attendance but in this day and age we need a coach that enjoys fan engagement and is incentivized to do it. There's no reason this program can't make a Sweet 16 run with the right people in the right places. There's too much complacency at the moment though.

The university is very happy to be mediocre. In fact I believe they’re more happy with this than winning too much. I know it’s crazy thinking, but it corresponds to everything they do in all programs.

It’s hard to disagree with this sometimes.

Mediocrity has been the standard around here for years.

The greatest game in the history of the Bob Marlin era will be his last game here.
