UL Basketball Coach ... NEXT

[Cajunsmike]

_ Tim Floyd would be a terrible hire. Why would we hire a known cheater? If Lee does not return, and I think the chances are at least 50/50 that he will, then the next head coach can not have negative baggage like recruiting scandals. _

Floyd won't be hired if he is not cleared of the USC allegations. I predict he will be cleared near the end of the month. That does not mean I believe he will be our next coach.

I think Tim Floyd can coach but I think most ADs are reluctant to hire him since he's seen as a cheater. I know Calipari is, but Calipiri cheats you to the final 4.

_ I think that this assessment of the situation is dead on. I look for a one year deal, tied closely to performance requirements, to be offered to Lee. _

However disenchanted people may be with the UL athletic department and recent decisions, this opinion still doesn't make any sense.

I don't want anybody to cheat us anywhere.

Regardless of who the next HEAD coach is, I truly hope they bring on Brad Boyd as an assistant. I know many of you on here chuckle at the thought, but the truth is this guy is around all the premier players in the state through his AAU teams, and that surely couldn't hurt for recruiting.

Any coach that is worth their dollar will have plenty of contacts, they won't need Brad Boyd for that reason.

_ They dont know all the high shcool coaches from the area like me and all the AAU coaches from the state.... not saying whoever they hire needs me, but it would be a win for the program, i we havent been getting that many wins lately!!!!

Plus the people I know in the community is a major plus....

JUST WIN BABY!!! _

I can promise you this, Tim Floyd nor Kennedy would need your assitance with AAU coaches. They have contacts throughout the south, and neither of them would need any introduction to Louisiana HS coaches. Now if they want you on the staff, it's their decision. I'm sure a young energetic guy like yourself as an assistant could be a good thing.

[Cajunsmike]

_ Exactly,,,,, Neither one will be here i think... Kennedy is up for bigger jobs then UL, Tim Floyd, is locked up with the Hornets... U never know though.... I would like to know how many AAU coaches Billy Kennedy knows.... whens the last time he lived down here... _

Billy Kennedy was here in 2005 when he took the Southeastern Louisiana Lions to the NCAA's. In the NCAA tournament, they played OK State off their feet before falling short. Tim Floyd may or may not be the coach here. However, he probably wants to coach in college again. If not, he would not have tried to clear his name by testifying in the Feb. 19 NCAA hearing which looked into the USC situation.

Will see what happens in the next few days. But as per the attention, I've said very little on this board about it, but you certainly have posted a ton about it. Who's looking for attention?

Sorry, I tried to stay out of most of the basketball comments over the past month. I know the history of decisions have turned many people off and they don't believe that a change will be made. I'm certain a change will be made, but I'm not certain who will be the final few names to interview.
