_ It would take more than 100k for Butch, he's making more than that at a BCS school. Hiring both sounds incredible but it's simply unrealistic.

That was basically my point.

_ If we are averaging 3000 more fans a game I think this would more than pay for it. _

Hoping and banking on averaging 3000 more per game is risky especially since the increase in those funds doesn't go straight to paying the coaches.

A step backwards for coach Hall, I agree.

Butch once told me that coaching was over-rated. Talent on the court is what matters. He told me this in Tempe, right after we upset Oklahoma. I assure you that Marty Fletcher didn't "x&o" that win for us.

I admit, however, that two days later we were severely out-coached against New Mexico State.

I would love for Butch to come home, recruit some top-notch talent and let the chips fall where they may. One thing is for sure, UL basketball would be fun again.

_ Pixley is a good coach, however, I think Harvey Adger at Glen Oaks, Charles Smith at Peabody, and Glen Hawkins from Southern Lab have probably put more guys into college. _

I did not mean to infer that he "put more guys into college" from his team, and maybe the coaches you mentioned do the same sort of thing as he does. I meant he has helped more guys get there or improve after they arrived, most of which never played for him. I meant guys that went to him to better perfect their game. Somehow, word got out, and they came...

I think he may do camps and such now, but back then, it was more like a boxing club, players just randomly showed up to spar on the weekend. I was fascinated by the guy, what he did, the way he did it, and the number of kids that he seemed to help out :-)

Like I said, I am not really a basketball fan, just accidentally stumbled across this guy and thought he was special...just something unique about the way he pushed kids to improve and his ability to tweak their game...

If Butch ever said that in a head coaching interview it could explain why he has never been one.
