LAKE CHARLES - Bob Bass has been helping Louisiana's Ragin' Cajun golf team succeed for 40 years now.
Bass, who was a four-year letterman and a senior captain for the Cajuns in the 1960's, has been named the All-Louisiana Coach of the Year in men's golf for the 2005 season selected by the Louisiana Sports Writers Association.
He coached the Cajuns to a second place finish in the Sun Belt Tournament and to four top five finishes during the year, his 14th campaign since taking over the UL program in 1991.
Bass has coached two All-Americans and his teams have reached NCAA Tournament play eight times.
