UL Basketball Coach ... NEXT

_ 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. _

Bustle got a 1 year extension to go with his remaining 1 year giving him 2 years left. The reasoning being you dont want him to be on his last year, recruiting and what not.

Lee is out of contract. If you offered him a contract, which is just an absurd idea and will not happen, it will be 2 years or they would have extended him last year.

Bustle hasnt had 4 losing seasons and a .500 season out of his last 5 either.

_ There is a complete separation for what Robert Lee stood for and what Evans stood for. I still do not give the blame to Lee for the APR issue he faced as I thought he inherited that from Evans. He raised the APR back up and brought in better student athletes. Jesse was able to win but he certainly had his issues off the court. He had a complete implosion at San Francisco which ultimately hurt his team there. I have very little respect for him. I respect coach Lee even though I do not think he is the man to lead a program by himself, nor do I think he is a good X and O coach. _

This is an untrue statement. Lee created his own APR mess. Look it up.

In more ways than one, i'm certain.

Do you really believe Lee will be rehired? I will bet you a Ruth's Chris steak dinner he is not retained. Want in?

I'll raise your bet by a new house in River Ranch .... as long as I can be on the same side of the bet that you are.

Recruits out the wazoo. I mean he was able to snag Ryan Francis a PG when he had already gotten commitments from 3 other point guards in the same class. And he was able to keep all four on signing day. That is a recruiter.

i don't disagree with this statement, but wasn't the reason he was able to get these recruits the same reason his program is under investigation by the NCAA?

don't get me wrong, i've been saying for a long time that RCAF should buy the best athletes money can buy. once the teams are competitive and winning, the athletes will want to come here to be apart of a winning team, then we won't have to spend as much money to get the athletes to the university.

Actually we need the coach hired yesterday IF, and that is where all this drama is coming from the BIG IF, they are going to make the change. It is time for the administration to do the proverbial S--t or get off the pot. National Signing day is less than 6 weeks from now. We need a dominate BIG MAN. We probably need a back up point to give AndrewS some rest but we have shooting guards with Daigle, Bureau and Grandigo coming back. We need somone who can dominate on the boards. A strong 4 man with the loss of Johnson.

For a minute step back and let's think about these kids for one minute. They have worked thier asses off this season. They did not give us what WE wanted and I don't think that they lost games just so we could come on here and complain about them. At the end of the season they played with 7 players and sucked it up. Those who were still on the floor were literally beat up but sucked it up and played thier heart out and I commend them for that. They are the ones who need answers now.

Remember we want to know what is going on so we can say the administation is either heading in a positive or negative way but these players futures are also depending on what our great administration does.

It is time for them to make a decision. Like NIKE says so often "JUST DO IT." WHAT EVER THE IT IS DO IT.

Doubt he would want to come here, but I say
BUTCH PIERRE!

The original poster made it sound like every player under Evans was a bad egg. There were some good kids here during that time. And if there was an COMPLETE seperation of what each man stood for why the heck did Lee stay here as assistant during the whole Evan's tenure?

I wanted to bet more, but I figured i might actually be able to get a steak out of him!

_ Quinn Snyder ran into some trouble at Mizzou and to the best of my knowledge, hasn't coached since. No thanks...Not to mention he's a Dukie. Yuk _

Quinn Snyder is a coach of the Austin Toros in the NBDL.

So in coaching, but not college coaching. The guy who took the fall at Mizzou is now the head coach at Texas Southern.

Todd Bozeman who had a show cause penalty lifted is now doing a great job at Morgan State.

John Calipari who had two Final Fours stripped is at the biggest basketball job in the land.

Calvin Sampson went from Oklahoma sanctions to the head coach at Indiana.

Beef with the NCAA is not as big of a deal to athletic directors as I think people on here feel. Because the bottom line is, if your teams don't win, the athletic directors get fired.
