re: Van Chancellor: Tired Old Man making .5M, telling jokes!!

He is old, tired, and coasting at this point. The drop in the level of play is significant; LSU has gone from a perennial Final Four team to a slightly above average team. And that is really all the administration really wants...a decent team and a winning record. There is no real "want" to put together a dominant WBB program now (sorry). The attitude reflected in some of the posts in this thread also runs through the administration.

so the AD is basically just satisfying it's title IX obligations .. nothing more, nothing less ..

end of the lsu wbb season is always a real bummer for me. hot chicks in shorts running up & down the court getting all sweaty, and now it's gone.

one cool guy so I could really give a damn whether or not he wins another game or not.

You wouldn't at least be proud if they were to win a NC in BB or SB for it would do for the school and the state?

LSU and everybody else plays second fiddle to those 2

Would rather be playing 2nd fiddle than 4th, 5th or worse. I got to watch Fowles shut Candace Parker down a few times and that was fun. LSU took quite a few wins from Tennessee these last 7 years or so. We may not have won the big one but we were as close as we've ever been and won a couple SEC regular season championships in the process - a pretty big thing in women's basketball in our conference. Why wouldn't we try to get back to that level and get the win. If we can knock off tennessee during the regular season we stand a good chance of doing it in the tournament. These last 2 years we haven't been close and we're getting worse. Time for Van to go, he's bringing the program down and in a hurry.

Well, I'll be the first to be disappointed about the past two seasons. But, the thing that everyone on this thread seems to be ignoring is this.......

Our last final four team, two seasons ago started FIVE SENIORS. Which means the ENTIRE STARTING LINEUP had to be replaced. Additionally, we had a total of 8 players graduate from that team. The team was DECIMATED by graduation. Last season we played MOSTLY FRESHMEN and still finished 20-11.

This season, we had ONE SENIOR and mostly freshmen and sophomores and finished 21-10. We also pushed the ACC champions to the brink of elimination on THEIR HOME COURT.

Like I said, I'm disappointed with how we've finished the past two seasons................but I'm also realistic. Now, if this team finishes with a similar record next season, then it will DEFINITELY be time to panic. But under the circumstances, I can't see the administration changing coaches with all of that being taken into account......................like it or not.

And yes, we have two big post players coming in next season (both are 6'4") and a very good shooting guard. So, all is not lost. We don't have a Seimone Augustus or Sylvia Fowles type player coming in, but you don't need that to win the SEC or make the final four in women's college basketball.

By the way, here are the three recruits we have coming in.........

Shanece McKinney (6'4")

Theresa Plaisance (6'5")

Jeanne Kenney (5'9")

I didn't see the "point" in front of the 5 M.

That guy is notorious for his ridiculous posts about Van and women's basketball. He had a thread once with 3 inaccuracies former players that I and others had to correct him on. I think he is just mad Van didn't give him candy before the game one night.
