Forget the past, it's history. LU needs to focus on the future. Presently, LU is one of the worst programs in the nation. There are probably high school teams in the state that could beat us, or at least give us a good game. Changes need to be made. If VCU can be a Top 20 team, LU can be a top 50 team.

Let's hire Frank Haith. We're playing like we're on sanctions now anyway. And then after the punishment is over, all bets are off. (and he likely goes somewhere else)

Because those two programs correlate so well...

The thing that makes absolutely no sense is the amount of money VCU spends on recruiting ($283,000). It's the highest in the state beyond UVA and Va Tech.

However when you invest to the degree LU has on last five years I would think someone is evaluating. Secondly where one works or has worke is very relevant. There is usually office politics in play and your source of income influences perspectives. I have wished ill of no coach and praised performance when it was noteworthy unlike some on here when a coach finishes 1 or 2 in three of five seasons in a D1 conference. But what would one expect from a message board other than a vatiety of self acclaimed experts. Let's hope for a home win over Longwood!
Again, you are using a consumer model for a college athletic department. And then attemp to twist it to fit your narrative. Simply put, there is more to running an athletic department than saying We spent X number of $$ therefore we should have X number of wins.
And while you cast stones, remember you are posting on the same sesame board and putting yourself up as a self acclaimed expert, even as your self proclaimed expertness is disproven. Maybe your next name should be IMPot to TruthorKettlequences :dontgetit

Is winning all he did? Because the top-2-in-3-years reasoning is all I ever hear. I'm genuinely asking.

He had a poor year in a contract year, and the decision was made not to renew. Heck, the decision was made four weeks prior to the end of the season! Even in a consumer business model, it's easy for one to justify not retaining him.

Hey folks I just banned: Remember when I said that anyone stirring the RD pot gets the boot? I meant it.

I apologize to the regulars that I'm not around often enough to do this more quickly. I'll work on it.

LIberty's men's basketball forum will be ruined forever until either

a: RD passes away

b: some coach wins about 3 titles and shuts all these 2-1-2 guys up

Should move the Men's B-ball thread to the recycle bin!!!

I'm done forever.... go flames, beat the 'wood'!

Thank you. Funny that opposing fans have never been as bothersome as the multi-personality was.

Almost certainly.

Which begs the question: Does this person need legitimate help? It's starting to be downright creepy to me.

That's not as good as the Blazing Saddles number Haize. "Stick out you hands, Stick out your tush, Hands on you hips, Give em a push....Dom Deluise was hilarious in that scene. I love a good Mel Brooks reset though.

But the Mel Brooks song is actually call The Inquisition:

The Inquistion, what a show
The Inquistion, here we go
We know you're wishing
That we'd go away
But the Inquistion's here and it's here to stay
The Inquistion, oh boy
The Inquistion, what a joy
The Inquistion, oy oy
