re: NOT a big deal, but...Men's Tennis finished last in SEC, women's 12th, why?

Here is your real answer: LSU has the worst facilities in the SEC in tennis, and is in the bottom 10 nationally, which obviously hurts recruiting

The same holds true for LSU Gymnastics. They have the worst facility in the SEC,but they manage to get recruits and are in the top of the Nation in performance. So the facilities theory does not hold water. In fact LSU Softball did better in the old worn out facilities than they have done in the new Softball facilities.

The real answer is that the tennis coach knows someone in high places and there is no accountability. Why else would you still be the coach next year if you lead your team to the bottom of the SEC. Politics allow for lame excuses by coaches.
