Van Chancellor and his carousel of assistants: Larkins-Landers

Van has a penchant, for hiring Texas female assistants with "hypenated names."

Van also has a penchant for keeping them two years.

Presumably, he hired Broughton-Wells and Larkins-Landers for recruiting purposes. I must say, Broughton-Wells did better than Larkins-Landers, giving both all the credit (deserved or not).

Here is this 67 y/o man, or is it 66?, and he's on his last leg. Then he cannot keep his "recruiting assistants," for more than two years-a-pop. Actually, he kept Broughton-Wells for ONE YEAR.

Van Chancellor was hired to bring back respectability to LSU WBB. He is a very good man and I think his fatherly aura has been very good for LSU. But isn't it about the WBB Program? Maybe not!

There is little or no stability and the rest of the SEC, is quietly pushing us down the peg. I am disappointed. To add to the absolute uncertainty, the administration chose to EXTEND HIS CONTRACT BY TWO YEARS.

VC has zero chance of recruiting, significantly, with all of the uncertainty. Unless the program has a "jam up and jelly tight coaching prospect," with the idea of keeping Bob Starkey in transition and as the chief assistant, I SEE A BAD MOON ARISING IN LSU WBB.

Last year, Ole Sleepy Van's most emotional moment, was his return to "coach a f'ing game in Oxford." By all accounts, that was his most passionate "time." To add to the confoundedness, he lost to Old Urine U, f'ing TWICE.

WHAT A DEAL!

Today, we learn of the impending departure of Larkins-Landers. What impact assistant, would want to come in this situaiton? Unless, that person will serve a COACH IN WAITING??

It may be sketchy, but how about that young lady who..........ohhhhh never mind! The next LSU WBB HC must be a good citizen, AND SHE MUST MATCH THE CULTURE. Competency, PROFESSSIONALISM AND CULTURE! Not a bad criteria huh?

F!!!! All this excellent prose for WBB?? Duward! IS YOU CRAZY? Well it is a holiday for me and I am bored!!!
