I am not a fan of Tim Floyd

[zephyr]

_ Floyd flamed as the Hornets head coach yet is somehow brought back as assistant. I view him along the lines of a Kelvin Sampson. He left two schools on the NCAA radar (e.g. OU and Indiana). It appears Floyd is "playing" ULL and may end up in Houston. I'd like to see Pierre come to Lafayette. _

What schools did he leave on the radar? Obviously, USC has some questions to answer but where else did he go where that school was worse off than before he arrived? His collegiate record is 327-181 and that's with programs that didn't exactly have national basketball pedigree's. Kelvin Sampson is responsible for pretty major recruiting violations at OU and Indiana, not Floyd. I dont' think you can compare the two. BTW, Rick Petino had a less than stellar pro coaching career but I'd say he's done pretty well for himself in college.

Floyd didn't exactly flame as the Hornets coach. He didn't get along with one of the owners and was sent packing after going 41-41 and making the playoffs. He is the one who brought on Bower, so Bower brought him on to help coach this year.

Floyd was thrown under the bus by Baron Davis. Davis was foolishly given a max contract and was calling the shots for the organization. We now know Davis is what is wrong with the NBA.

I thought Floyd went 41-41 as Hornets Head Coach and made the playoffs ? Can somebody check on that ? Thought he did fine ? JMO.

IT'S OK IF SOME PEOPLE DONT WANT TIM FLOYD. IT'S OK. IT'S YOUR OPINION. I KNOW HIM AND HE'S A GOOD GUY AS WELL AS A HECK OF A BASKETBALL COACH. HE WILL DO WELL AT LAFAYETTE. SO WILL THE WHOLE LIST IF THE LIST IS FOR REAL. GIVE THE PROCESS TIME. JMO.

Easy on the caps there coach. I understand that people have opinions as I can't imagine many out there more opinionated than myself. However, if you're going to come on a public forum, at least base your opinion on something. If you have no clue, say you have no clue. It's easier to respect an opinion that differs from your own when it has logic behind it.

I was also told by 3rd hand information from a close friend of Floyd earlier this week that Floyd was no longer interested in the job at UL. Being a UL fan I did not want to believe it because my source is a La Tech grad who is not a UL fan but not a hater either. This person played ball at Tech when Floyd was there and they have remained close friend. But now that the process has dragged out and this other information has come out I no longer believe Floyd will be our next coach and my source was right. This disappoints me because he was my first choice.

My sister's husband's cousin's hunting dog's best friend "Z" told me the Cajuns are going with Brad Boyd.
