Lazeek Posted March 7, 2011 Report Posted March 7, 2011 I have known for about 2-3 weeks and it was pretty much confirmed by a reputable source within the last 15 minutes that ROC is done at Lamar!!!!! Expect an announcement sooner than later!!! ;) ;)
geezer Posted March 7, 2011 Report Posted March 7, 2011 Doubt we hear anything until the ladies season is over.

HoopInsider_Cooper Posted March 7, 2011 Report Posted March 7, 2011 Let's see if they step up and pull the trigger. I'm 50-50 that they do or don't.
AggiesAreWe Posted March 7, 2011 Report Posted March 7, 2011 I was also informed about an hour ago by a source very close to the program that Roc is gone. The announcement will come after the women are done.
woodman Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 Well there is still hope for next years season tickets.
samsung Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 I wonder if they'll consider Matt Cross from LSC-PA. He's done a great job for them. I know he's not a big name but wow, what he's done in a couple of years in PA is amazing.
bobbymcgee Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 Cross' junior college players are better than Roc's

bigred360 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 Floyd isn't the only successful head coach Lamar has interviewed and gone in a different direction. Bob West wrote an article one time of the coaches either interested in Lamar or LU interviewed and ended up hiring someone else. There were at least 5 names people would recognize he mentioned in his article.
badndn Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 [quote name="Ruckdad" post="979553" timestamp="1299616722"]But they actually interviewed Floyd.[/quote]Yeah imagine that...They didn't even so much as send a letter of interest to the other guys when they were available. ::)Point is every program passes on someone that makes it big at some point. Even the big dogs get it wrong sometimes!
77 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 Ones life must be very good when the answered prayers are the firing of a coach!

sleepy Posted March 9, 2011 Report Posted March 9, 2011 Lamar interviewed Del Harris as well and turned him down. Who knows if Tim Floyd would have been succesful here. We have had like 6 or 7 coaches since then none of which have been successful. One of them being Billy Tubbs who is a hall of famer. All of you guys want a proven head coach??? Mike Deane was as proven of a head coach that we could ever get and he failed. I want us to try another young and up and comer who has ties to the state of Texas or is a product of a really good recruiter. Roc did not work and I must admit I thought he would. With that said I want to try someone of his breed again. I hear an assistant at K-State is interested as well. Hell..........who knows!!!!!!!!!
