Also don't underestimate the connections that Rogers has to possibly hang onto his position. His father in law's still a well-respected former educator/administrator in Lafayette Parish with strong ties to current and former UL administrators. It's not as clean a break as you might expect for someone with Rogers' body of work.
Rogers' body of work...while at UL...sucks.

Chop- wow. So the WBB deserves a sub-par coach since it's not profitable??? They deserve a good coach just like football, MBB, Baseball and Softball. Those were some terrible comments. Get them
A coach!
I had a season pass to WBB for two seasons under Coach Hall...and I will attend again if the program becomes respectable again.
Some people care.

So did I. And I care whether I did or not. I care about ALL sports at UL, not just the popular ones. I care about golf and tennis and I have never been to a match. Same for volleyball and soccer. If we have the sport, the athletes that play it deserve to have as good a coach as we can afford to hire.
Not caring starts at the top.
I can show you footage of a packed out EKL Gym. Of course all anyone remembers is the poor attendance for the next game, a 2:30 pm midweek no promo tourney game.
The next game was coached by E.R.
The fans were never given a chance to grow their caring.

I agree with that, and when 27 people go to the games, what we have now is what we can afford to hire.
I would love for the WCB team to win SB titles and be respectable, but I also do not have a problem putting this on the back burner for the time being while we get the ball rolling in the revenue sports.
Once that ball gets rolling, then you can easily address this WB situation the right way, instead of putting a bandaid on the whole thing.
