If you’re talking about ...

J. Kelly Hall.

He posted regularly on RP and he never quit recruiting... players and fans.

That's what we need, its a new age, need coaches that relate to today's players and get the community excited and involved. Look at our attendance Hud vs Napier. Boyd or someone similar would do what Hud did. It's not hard to figure out what we need for basketball.

Why do people around this program have such an obsession with former players coming back here to coach. This is a D1 athletic program, not 5A high school ball. Go out and hire the best coach possible.

We have too many people who think small. That’s why we are where we are.

Wasn't one of the reasons for Baldwin being let go was because he didn't think he was responsible for putting butts in the seats?

personally, I don't trust the admin's ability to keep anyone successful around long if they don't have ties...

If you’re talking about CMD, guess what. The event I sent to you he spoke at; made it clear he’s no longer a fan. Didn’t single out by name, but message was clear. Message to players is stay off boards and avoid certain social messaging topics.

Try again.

He said one of the most successful turnarounds not the other way around

Good. If they leave, it’s means they did good. That’s what we should be trying to do.

We don't have the money or luck for multiple successful hires at the moment, IMO... With regard to football, we did when we got Napier's buyout, but squandered that.

To clarify: Your method is where we should be, but we have fallen off so far in FB, MBB, WBB that there's an added step to get there now, IMO

Or they did bad.

That’s not true either. But it’s darn good talking point.

That’s a defeatist attitude. Do I trust our admin at the moment no, but the goal should always be to go out and find the best possible coach.

There are tons of great young coaches available in every sport. The admin has to go find them, and if they don’t, they should be fired.

[CajunVic]

They should be fired if they fail to recognize that at this juncture, there can be no better hire for Louisiana basketball than Brad Boyd.

Now hearing that there may be another one of our players going into the portal

[RaginDave]

We should also look at another STM alum, Bobby Champagne. He is an asst coach now at Houston.

I was on the Bobby Champagne train years ago, unfortunately, I think his time has come and gone as a HC.

You're foolish if you haven't already convinced yourself that they're all leaving..
