Father-Son / Coach-Player relationships

[DocBe]

_ I'm thinking of a few examples there are more, if you know of any . . .

Press & Pete Maravich at LSU

Wally & Jon English at Tulane

Jessie & Jared Evans at Louisiana

Nelson & Brandon Stokley at Louisiana

Nelson & David Schexnayder (Dissimilar but mentionable)

I ask because just around the corner we may have
Tony & Justin Robichaux; Baseball
Rickey & Brad Bustle; Football

Good, Bad or Irrelevant? I ask because it seems to be there is a relationship between the end of a career and coaching ones son. Even when successful there seems to be a burnout factor. _

Happy? You got your wish.

It looks to me that Rob will go the way of most UL coaches and leave the profession to go into business full time here in town.

IMO no D1 college coach should be allowed to have a side business while coaching. Jerry Denardo's restaurant was a distraction that contributed to his downfall.

Also no coach should be allowed to coach his or her child, they either have bad teams or simply tread water. Bustle is the first I seen a coach survive the situation but this year will tell the tell if he has the drive to coach after his son has left. Then againg he was give an extraordinarily long leash, so survive might be the wrong word.

Careful what you say. Bob Marlin has a son who is a pretty good HS basketball player and may end up here. May not be on scholarship but on the team.

Historically it's a career killer, the coaches seem to burn out or lose their drive after the kid is gone.

WTF are some of u guys talking about? Robe having his son on the team, has absolutely NOTHING to do with anything. Period. Idont care if it is a son, a nephew, a cousin...if the kid is good enough, then he should be on the team. His son was recruited out of HS by every D1 school in the state, as well as schools from bigger and better conferences. He chose to come here.

[CajunT]

_ You're exactly right. If you want daddy ball...sign up for the rec league or USSSA ball. Ever since Justin or should i say "Jut" got here, the program has gone down hill. The only reason 2007 was worth anything was because of Lucroy and Tatford. And the bad news is...there is another Robichaux on the way. _

Better he play here, then some other Div1 program. If the kid is good enough to pitch at some very good programs, we shouldn't sign him because his father is the Coach? This is an idiotic statement. Maybe we should not try and sign the younger Lucroy, heck he can go play at Fla.State and Miami. You sign the best talent you can get period!

its just a little suspicious when justin gets shoulder tendinitis and hurts his groin and get promoted to the starting first baseman when there are other guys on the team who can play first, hit, and don't pitch. Justin is much needed as a Saturday guy on the mound. If that's not daddy ball then I don't know what is.

[LifeTimeCajun]

Its suspicious because u as well as others have a hard on for Robe because we are having another bad season. Let's face it I'm not happy how thing are going but your comments are completly innaccurate. His son can pitch, and has done so with sucess at this level for 4 yrs now. And I may add that he has filled in rather nicely at firstbase and at the plate when noone else on the team could seem to lock down that position. His bat isn't to shabby either after not hitting for 2 yrs if u haven't noticed. U are taking a cheap shot at a kid bc of his dad and that's completly uncalled for. Btw, Robe has a younger son that u better hope "descides" to come here bc guess what.... He's pretty dam good also
