re: ULL Softball Coach Lotief placed on administrative leave (11/1 update: he fired)

There's no doubt the coaches (particularly the non-football sports) have too often had to be their own advocates because the administration, both athletic and university, didn't give much of a damn.

Yvette, Robe and Lotief have all worked their asses off to raise money and improve their programs without the administration behind them. All of them are no doubt great coaches who could have left for greener pastures and deeper pockets.
