Marlin's Record

[zephyr]

I would have been quite if this years committee harped only on quality wins.

Instead they double dribbled SOS over and over.

SOS is already included in the RPI.

Actually, they did harp on Quality wins. They compared and seeded most of the field on number of Quadrant 1 and 2 wins.

Mike, would Evans not returning open another scholarship or is that the one that is available now?

Evans was not on scholarship this year. We have only one remaining.

Thanks that makes sense. I'm assuming that is how Broussard got the scholarship for the Spring Semester.

Regardless of that, guys who struggled in the last game like Miller, Marquetti, and Davis need to work hard in the summer and be tougher mentally to perform under pressure.

I think Miller needs to work hard on conditioning more than mentality. He is crafty, but when his minutes were elevated, so was his heavy breathing. We were out-athleticized as team against FUPA's bunch, but Miller did not even belong on the court in that game.

We just won 27 games and a conference championship. I guess none of that counts for some of you.

I knew as soon as the season ended, VO would be back to point out Marlin's perceived faults.

Some agendas are pretty transparent.

Are you suggesting his points aren't valid? Do you have anything that counters his argument/stats he posted besides emotional rhetoric?

My agenda is completely transparent; I want us to have a quality basketball program; not a smoke and mirrors imitation of quality.

27 wins this year: 0 vs top 100 RPI, 10 vs RPI 101-200, 15 vs RPI of 201+ and 2 non- D1.

To his credit, Marlin coached Louisiana to a winning record vs RPI 101-200; something he had accomplished only once before in his tenure here.

54-86 vs top 200 RPI over the last 8 years at UL.

You may call that good basketball. I call it institutionalized mediocrity.

I will await his or her response. I look forward to a well laid out counter argument with factual information to back it up.

I can't speak for VO, but I have read his posts and they are very logical and factually accurate. As for myself, I don't think Marlin should be let go at the end of this year as he was able to put together a 25 win season (I don't count non D1 wins), and he was competitive against LSU. However, if he doesn't beat at least 1 team in the top 100 rpi next season and fails to make the NCAA tournament, then I would thank him for his service and show him the door.
