No you coach a team and you want that team to be successful. You make demands that our reasonable and fight for your players.
You don't know how frustrating it is to have a university turn a blind eye to your program and let it grow stagnant because it's so focused on sports that aren't near as successful. That's the shite that runs good athletes off. I watched it happen time after time at ULM. If Lotief got suspended for standing up to the admin and fighting for his players then good on him.

I bet you define success in wins and loses and the administration defines it in terms of $$$.
I'm just guessing here, but I would think softball having a season where they go to the WCWS equals either a loss of money, or at best a break even. While football going 6-6 and going to the NOLA Bowl brings in cash.

Neither you nor I know what he was making demands for. Perhaps they are reasonable, and perhaps he keeps begging for more and more after the administration has already given the softball program much support.
Sure, it looks nice when a lawyer throws out the "gender equity" term. That's what lawyers do, make their clients look all innocent and oppressed.
Like I said, I don't know what went down in the meetings, but what if Loteif keeps demanding more and more even though ULL softball already is getting their lion's share of money from the athletic department? How much money is the softball program pumping back into the athletic department's coffers?
