AggiesAreWe Posted March 14, 2011 Report Posted March 14, 2011 [quote name="NickKBTV" post="982452" timestamp="1300117589"]sorry to burst your bubble....he's staying[/quote]Sure about that? ;D
AggiesAreWe Posted March 14, 2011 Report Posted March 14, 2011 LAZEEK has been saying it, I have stated it, and now it is official.I can keep my season tickets!!! ;D
HoopInsider_Cooper Posted March 14, 2011 Author Report Posted March 14, 2011 Search committee will have John Payton and others on it (im sure Tubbs). Will "begin search" after Final 4 but a source told me they already have one in mind.
NickKBTV Posted March 14, 2011 Report Posted March 14, 2011 All of you guys are idiots. Whoever the next coach is, you guys will be calling for him to be fired in mid season anyway so it doesn't matter who Lamar brings in.
bigred360 Posted March 14, 2011 Report Posted March 14, 2011 Dude you are a sports anchor at a local TV station and you come on a sports message board calling people idiots? That isn't real smart and everyone knows you and Roc are tight but I didn't jump off the Roc bandwagon until after about the 12th game this season.I trust Coach Tidwell to make the best decisions on hiring and firing coaches.Hopefully, he will get it right on this next oneBest of luck to Steve Roccaforte and his family. He is too good a recruiter and coach to be out of a job long.
Guest ECBucFan Posted March 14, 2011 Report Posted March 14, 2011 Lets all wish Roc the best. Driving home today, I caught Gresham on KLVI, and he mentioned 12 of 13 of Rocs recruits all graduated. Blame Roc for not enough W's if you want to, but thats one stat thats real impressive. Good job, Roc! :)

[/quote]If Lamar brings in another coach who can't coach then of course we'll want him fired. Lamar's track record in hiring good coaches hasn't been that good these past 20 years so some of us old folks are getting a little jaded. It's pretty sad that these days we get excited when they make the SLC tourney, and for Roc that goal was unreachable! ::)

It was just time to "move on" from this position.
badndn Posted March 14, 2011 Report Posted March 14, 2011 The only idiot would be the guy that expected to keep his job after three straight sub .500 seasons in one of the worst conferences in the NCAA or his buddy!!! ::)Probably best that you don't let your inner thoughts out as a member of the local media. Calling the people that pay your bills idiots is not smart!!! I just lost a lot of respect for you as a professional.
bigred360 Posted March 14, 2011 Report Posted March 14, 2011 That isn't totally true. I know he recruited Garza, Williams and Wesley and they didn't graduate from Lamar.
LUFAN Posted March 14, 2011 Report Posted March 14, 2011 Roc is a great recruiter and has always been a good person every time I talked to him and interacted with him. It is to bad that it did not work out as I was pulling for him. I wish him luck for his future and that all ends well for him.

I just lost a lot of respect for you as a professional.I didn't know I was employed by setxsports.com. I'll start sending my bills your way. If you get your feelings hurt over something on a fan board, I feel sorry for you. Oh come on, you lost a lot of respect for me as a professional? You don't even know me. Come pay me a visit, I'm at Parkdale all day everyday.
stevenash Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 You probably shouldnt run for political office.
AggiesAreWe Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 Look Nick, I only razzed you about your statement of Roc staying, just having a little fun.I don't see why you had to call me or anyone else here an idiot.I'm cool with it.

We all know who you work for and it appears that you fail to realize that KBTV sports is a service provider that relies on it's local population as it's sole means of making money. Not smart to call those people idiots! Again it is very unprofessional.
geezer Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 The quote on Gresham about graduation only applied to the players that used all of their eligibility at Lamar. Unfortunately that is not the way the NCAA measures graduation rates. Once a recruit comes on campus if he does not stay or transfer and graduate on time the recruit counts as not having graduated and the University can be penalized. There are a number of players that left early as stated earlier. I believe if you go through the full list of basketball recruits that were listed on the roster over the past five years you will find more that left than used their eligibility at LU
WOSgrad Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 As a fellow LU graduate, I wish Roc the best wherever he goes from here. He will end up somewhere and will be able to start fresh.
NorthoftheBorder Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 This had to be a very tough decision for the LU administration. People on this board are on both sides of the equation. If you are an LU fan, you had to want Roc to be successful whether you liked him personally or not. But now is the time to make the right decision. If Lamar really wants to take its athletic proram to the next level, it has to get the mens football and basketball program up to the level necessary to draw a strong and loyal contingent of fans. I am a long suffering Bball fan who paid the license fee for seats in the Montagne when it opened. My first year to have season tickets was Billy Tubbs first year as head coach. It is really sad the current state of the program. Another bust as head coach and I hate to image the depths the program could sink to. I hope that the search committee doesn't just take applications, but they go out and seek someone who can get the job done.
cornhusker Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 Rock will be fine and make 5 times the money Lamar pays at a big name college. Count on it.
Lazeek Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 Mike Deane graduated virtually every player on his LU roster, but nobody praised him for it!!!
