re: Throwing money won't get us a coach....

If LSU would commit just a bit to bball things could be pretty good. LSU is in a major conference that is weak in basketball. Kentucky is the one true elite team in the conference with Florida not far behind. There is no reason why LSU can't be this year's South Carolina in most years. It's not like the ACC where you've got a whole host of top teams. A good coach would at least be able to compete with Kentucky making a run every couple of years but otherwise solidly being in the top 4 of the league and getting a spot in the NCAA Tournament. The right coach could come to LSU and be a consistent tournament team.
