And some people on this board said "probably".

One person said “probably”

So he will understand:

prob·a·bly
/ˈpräbəblē/
adverb
1.
almost certainly; as far as one knows or can tell:

Building on my last post, an opinion show is not obligated to present both sides of an issue. If you want to be critical of something without consideration of an opposing viewpoint, you have the right to do so. It will not impact the size of the audience. Of course, you should attempt to Share your opinion in a non personal fashion. Some may take it personal at times but that is to be expected.

I think all here would be happy to hear the opposing viewpoint, I think that's what we were doing when we listened to Scott's interview. I would also suggest that just about everybody here had been very complimentary of Dr. Maggard in his time here and his leadership. I think we were all listening to get that opposing view but instead, the interview was honestly a poor show by Dr. Maggard and either lied or misspoke about a very critical issue that was supposed to be a big reason for their decision. I'd be happy to debate you or any other person who is in favor of the decision.

I think we all believe we have potential to have much greater success than what has been accomplished recently. I think people in the program believe that as they should. What the huge majority of people who participate here don’t believe is the current staff can lead that effort. I do think Dr. Maggard believes it, at least for 2022-23. Otherwise he would not have made the decision he did. I say that in all seriousness. I know many will use history to laugh at that view. It does not matter how many disagree. Key thing is HE believes it. At this stage everything that can be said about this situation has been been voiced. We will start to get an idea who is right come November. However it will be interesting to see if they can bring in a point guard who can help in spring recruiting. We have not had an effective player in that role since Marcus Stroman left in 2019.

Which is why I believe it is completely rational to criticize Dr. Maggard due to the reasons you mention in this post. What I'm not sure we're doing is are we just putting all our eggs in the basket for next year or are we trying to actually build a program? We can go down the rabbit hole of what if's in regards to what happens if they have a great year next year and Marlin's future but I want to know what the end game is.

When I said PROBABLY you turned it into WILL.

[CajunVic]

The end game is we will play basketball next year with The Big Fish as head coach and see how it goes.

[CajunVic]

When I said PROBABLY you turned it into WILL.

You said both . . . Marlin will probably resign mid season . . .

The end game is let him finish the contract and move on to next season under new leadership. He was kept simply because he is loyal and a nice guy. From what I am hearing Doc Savoie kept him because he has never embarrassed the university.

It was a poor show because Maggard had to cover for his boss making him keep Marlin.

[CajunVic]

There is no doubt Maggard had it 75% covered . . .

If it's kill off the basketball fan base for good he is on the right track. Bold strategy to lose another generation of potential ticket holders
