Jay Hedgeman issued summons for posession

[Cajunsmike]

The fans don't love him Mike. Clearly some players can't stand him others love him.

I would agree that he is not "loved" by the general fan base. When I said he gets along well with plenty of folks I was referring to people who know him personally

[Turbine]

Some want another Hud personality.

[CajunEXPRESS]

He also has issues with ASU coaches. You've got to find a way to get along with those guys. Often they have more sway with players than anyone but mom.

Maybe the players being brought in are out of necessity due to the players leaving?

Now maybe we are getting somewhere. I think there so many moving parts to all this that it's hard to follow.

Are we bringing in the kids we can "get" because we cant recruit or because they are the talent that will commit and then we are "stuck" with lessor quality basketball player's.

When a better player comes in and "thinks" he is all that and a box of popsorn and he doesn't get what he thinks he deserves, he transfer's. CC brought in a very good list of transfer's that are successful. My question is: are the three that were listed a "norm" for basketball. Can't compare the power teams in the NCAA, let's compare other mid major's.

What comes first the chicken or the egg. In football, is was the chicken. Hud coached up Bustle's recruits and was successful.

Thanks, that is a very detailed list. What I take from this list is not that players were unhappy here; they may have been unhappy with their playing time but most of them transferred to a lower level team, probably in hopes of getting more playing time.

That attrition level is more of a recruiting issue ... I don't know if we are higher or lower than comparable programs with this issue but I do hope we can turn this around.

It's a no win situation. Transfers to lower caliber team equals not getting good players/citizens. Transfers to equal makes it look like they're unhappy here. Marlin looks bad in both those situations. Transfers to much better program. I guess Marlin can slide on that.

Are we really into 10 pages of whether Marlin is a good coach or not? You koolaid drinkers are ridiculous

Z, he's gonna end up making about five million here. Talk about ____ing away millions to save hundreds of thousands.

Very few kool aid drinkers in the thread. The great majority of the posts in the thread were negative towards the staff. I would gather only about 10 per cent of the people who participate here are supportive of the staff at this stage. Focus was not on is he a good coach or not but do the two guys leaving this year an indication of a recruiting/ retention issue.

Compared to Z, everyone is a Kool Aid drinker.
