    In fact, football programs have signing parties and baseball coaches talk about signed athletes at luncheons at the end of the season. Does basketball have different criteria?
    Thanks again coach.
    Cajun Guru:
    Good Question. This is what I was told about all these parties ECT. It is not allowed under NCAA RULES for a COACH to set up a specific announcement of their signees (except a 1 time release of that list). I was told that we could not invite the media to discuss this list. I was going to have a SIGNING UPDATE at Pete's on signing day last Nov. Was told it was against the RULES. I was also told that boosters could organize their own parties and if the Coaches showed up fine ECT. We are always going to play and recruit by the Rules as we are advised. I think it is a GREY AREA and until it is changed we are going to abide by the book. To me, it's not worth the trouble to read about yourself on the front page of the advertiser over something stupid. We are not going to make the UNIVERSITY look bad in any way (if it is in our control). We let the Sports Information Dept. release our list of signees. We can talk about them (just not set up the interview, if that makes sense). And in the Case of BLAIR BRODHEAD (THE ADVERTISER) reported the injury not us and we can't comment on her rehab. Hopefully all this makes sense. Thanks for the Question.

    Thanks coach, you can learn something new every year when it comes to NCAA rules and regulations. Here's an Idea that you may consider for next year. If I'm reading your comments correctly, then we(as in UL Alumni) can have a signing day celebration if the University is not officially associated with such an event. We can get a few sponsors, just like football to help with cost and charge a admission fee. The admission fee could be used as a fund raiser or donation to both the men's and womens basketball programs. The coaching staffs could attend this event and comment on the new signees. This event would take place the same day that the university releases the official announcements on the signees, just like football. This is exactly the way the football signning day event takes place. Clearly meets all the criteria that NCAA mandates. If you and coach Lee would be interested in seeing such an event take place, let us know. Some of us on this board would be willing to help organize such an event with some sponsors involved. The football program raises money for their recruiting budget every year from this event.

    CajunGuru:
    That is exactly how it has to be done. I (as a coach) can't set it up in any way. THAT IS A GREAT IDEA. I can't speak for Coach Lee but I would be there. Hopefully some of the media might know some of you and get an invitation too. THEY REALLY ARE GOOD GUYS. I'll keep you posted on National Early Signing Date. It is always a fun day for us here at UL. CAN"T WAIT.

    Turbine: GREAT JOB. As you can see, the floor will be a light color. I'm sure they are still 2 weeks away from the finished product. THANKS.

    DaddyCajun:
    The contract has not made it over to E.K.Long to be signed yet. I'm still waiting. Hopefully it won't be long. It was 2 weeks ago today that we last met and I was assured it would be on it's way. I'm not worried. Thanks for all the support. We should find out in the next week about our opponent in the WNIT.

    It's just awesome for the program to be invited to that event. Congrats on resisting the temptation (a strong one, I'm sure) to tell them to stick it where the sun don't shine. I don't know if I could have done it!
