LU Cardinal Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 If Lamar hires Tic Price it'll be a money saver IMO so why not think outside the box and hire a successful coach from the high school ranks? Look at the places he's coached and had successful programs. He knows the area and wouldnt cost LU that much. Roll the dice and find the next up and coming guy since we've already tried everything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to be hired as an assistant to a D1 coach or in a JUCO or DII school. Not only are we talking about an astronomical jump in the level of talent and the level of play, we are talking about a coach that has no Idea how to run a DI program. Being a head coach is more than just X's and O's. He is also the head of the Business that is Lamar Basketball. He is manager, fundraiser, diplomat, recruiter, coach, and disciplinarian in charge of fifteen college age guys. He is not ready for that. He needs to get his feet wet by being an assistant, then maybe in five or ten years he could get his shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assistant first, then maybe head coach down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamar1 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Brian English? Really? What's he to do at the college level where everyone can recruit legally?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachacola Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I think it's sad that Lamar basketball has sunk so low that we're talking about hiring a high school coach to lead the program!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 It's not the first time. I remember people wanting to LU to hire André Boutte when he was at Oxen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spooner Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 And when LU started football there was a lot of push to have the coaching staff made up of Dan Hooks as head coach and various other SETX coaches as his assistants, and a team predominantly made up of SETX area players.
