And again davis is a Brady disciple that should be a red flag for anyone.

I'm not for or against Davis but he was the head coach at Idaho and Texas A&M before Brady got his first head coaching job. Davis was the youngest head coach in the NCAA at 28 in 1988. I wouldn't categorize Davis as a Brady disciple.

Has anybody actually looked at WKU this year to see how Stansbury is doing in his first year coaching after coming out of retirement? His team is under .500 and just lost their 4th game in a row by double digits. I guess the guy had a good run awhile back, but it's been almost ten years and the guy is almost 60. Maybe not the guy we should hitch our wagon to..

Did you research any of that? WKU had a winning record and won 18 games last year. The coach just resigned, so there was an opening. Stansbury has brought in some pretty big name grad transfers and the team was projected to contend for the league title.

Knock him if you want but he's done things no coach in LSU history has done at Miss St. Of all places. And for the umpteenth time because I guess you read one line of a post and disregard the point. I never said he was great I never said he'd be my first choice what I said was if a coach as accomplished as him in our league wants to come the risk is infinitely lower than it would be to allow joe Alleva to go out and find a coach.

Yes they mentioned him "returning player who could make a significant jump" 12.9 ppg and 8.1 Rebs hardly all conf numbers. Dunno how they could be predicted to challenge in conf USA they've been trending down annually the past couple years from 20 to 18 to sub .500 this year. Whoever predicted them being good doesn't understand trends.

Stansbury us not my wish list headliner. You're all missing the point. Alleva is the ad do you want him on one of his coaching searches or would you rather get a consistant winner who wants to come? This is the part of it you're not considering with Alleva. Stansbury wanting to be here is a gift in our lap. I'm just warning you watch what happens if it's not Rick Stansbury.

He sure sounds like your headliner, you are saying anyone who thinks he can't turn it around is stupid and does not know anything about hoops and any other choice will doom us because our AD is incapable of picking from a list of coaches who could be better.

My take is I want one of the young and up and comers, with some energy, enthusiasm and vision...and yes some personality. I do think that is important here and now. Davis or McCall and I'm sure there are others. That's pretty easy, and I'm sure even our challenged AD knows about guys like this.

You have a much higher opinion of Stansbury than I do, we've established that without question in our discussions the last couple of days. That's fine, we simply won't agree there....ever.

I don't want a settle or stop-gap hire like Stanbury. Kermit ain't in my top-5 either, and is that kind of hire too, but yes I'd prefer him to Stansbury if and only if we go after the best young coaching talent and fail first. Hell he's gone as far as Stanbury ever has in the NCAA tournament and he brings some personality and energy.

And if one of those choices other than Stanbury fails as you predict, it still is no gimmie that Stansbury would have been the better choice, it's mere speculation on your part given his better years at State....not an I told you so lesson.

I never said any of those things. Never told anyone they don't know what they're talking about or called anyone stupid.

I kinda took your below post that way, I guess having no clue could be construed differently than being stupid or not knowing anything about basketball. But some could construe it just as that. I did, my apologies if I misinterpreted.

Exactly, people who shite on Stansbury have no clue. Plus the guy recruits louisiana as well as anyone he has our best incoming player committed to him right now.

explained why Stansbury is the right hire and it's not because like you I believe my opinion is law and can't be challenged.

I welcome my opinion being challenged, if I didn't I wouldn't come here to discuss and debate otherwise. That does not make any sense.

And disregarding my reason as luck and speculation is just another way of you acting like your unqualified and irrational "opinion" is supreme and beyond reproach.

---

Again, c'mon mad I did challenge your opinion as speculation...hell it is just as mine is. You are the one with the "wait you'll see", I'm going to be right and you are going to be wrong when anyone that Alleva picks but Stansbury will fail. If anything it's your words that ring as beyond reproach.

My warning has 1,000 times more proof and substance behind it than anything you've said, trying to rename it as a shot in the dark is hedging your bet it's weak and childish.

here it is again, your "warning" ...you'll see, I'm going to be right and you wrong.

But we can go on like this all day, I don't mind I come here cause I like to discuss LSU hoops.

But here's my take. I don't want to dumb down my expectations to allow for the inequities of our athletic department. Hire Stansbury because even though by your admissions he's not the best option out there he's willing and our incompetent administration can do no better.

No....NO, I just don't think we should accept that, and at the very least I would be disappointed if we do that.

Yes but what I'm saying I'm right about is different than saying you're wrong. I'm right about Alleva not that davis is a bad coach. You're not paying attention to what I'm saying that's all.

I didn't know you were shitting on Stansbury I thought you just rathered a different candidate.

---

Hell Mad who knows what you think I'm thinking, because you seem to take a lot of liberties with what I post. I guess we are even then as I took what you said as saying anyone who doesn't think Stans is as good a coach as you is shitting on him. So I took liberties too. Touche'.

Nah, you are saying I think my opinion is beyond reproach. That is just baseless. And I'm renaming my discussions and opinions and it's weak and childish?

I really think it's you with the reading and comprehension problems. Hell you showed that as a big issue yesterday with your 100% correct edict.
