Wouldnt expect the deed to even be done (if it is going to happen at all) this week. Since the girls are playing and JB will be there for that tournament, I would expect Monday next week if it is going to happen.

Not happening this week. Typically, these things happen around the time of the final four.

Sweat's right. usually the Final Four is where you have tons of networking and if you have a potential candidate on staff at a team currently playing, you cant talk to them at all until at least the conclusion of their season.

Had this conversation earlier this week. It's only a 45 minute flight or so. Barber could fly back tonight, meet with Layer and the team tomorrow, and get back for the women's game pretty easily.

If we're gonna make the change, having the extra days will help.

DL is released after the end of the tournament.
As long that second part happens, I don't care how the tournament ends.

IF we are going to make a change we will probably let DL go by Monday. We probably won't have anyone in place until the beginning of the Tournament at the earliest. If not the. It won't be until the after the FInal Four

If DL is booted, I expect it to be next week. I also expect, and hope for, an orchestrated spin on this, where DL and LU split amicably for the mutual benefit of both parties. So, next Wednesday if you provide for enough time to get the messaging in order.

Not sure if DirecTV, but I am watching it online at BigSouthSports.com.

Did you expect them to not show up at all? And to put a point if the game were to end right now......we'd still lose. If we repeat the first half....we'll lose. We are in serious foul trouble with a bunch of guys with 2.

What a debacle. I hope he steps down and makes this easier for everyone. Just a putrid 6 years of basketball. Its crystal clear that the tourney win was the worst thing that could have ever happened. If a change is not made i cant take lu athletics seriously anymore.

Will they be doing call-ins? Someone should ask him if Donna Barber is the only person in the Twitterverse that thinks he deserves an extension :roll:.
