It has been pretty quiet so far, but does anyone know of any coaches changing schools are retiring?

Shaw's head coach went to Brother Martin.

Shaw in turn hired St. Aug's assistant coach.

The dysfunction in the medical department led to multiple player injuries being aggravated or mismanaged.

Tim needs to do a full story on the Pelicans and the Saints on this topic alone. I'm sure there's a lot of meat there to put out a story.

I don't like the Dumars hiring, but I would've been willing to see how it played out if they got rid of Green and brought in a coach that's a proven winner to lead this team. With keeping Green on and hiring a guy only because "you're comfortable with him" really puts me off as fan of the team. I barely watched the team and only went to a few games this year. It will be even less next season with the decisions that were made this week. I hope the Pel fan base feels that same way as I do and the arena is mostly empty next year to send a clear message to Gayle.

This is the worst part of what she said. She claims that she's committed to winning, but is keeping Willie Green on as head coach when he's clearly proven during his tenure here that he's not the right guy to move this team in a competitive and winning direction.

Disagree not about McMahon bur basketball in general. Basketball more than any other sport is talent over scheme. Good talent will make a average/poor coach look good and poor talent will make a great coach look average/poor most of the time. Get the talent in and the success will most likely follow

---

Nah, bro. It's not a direct 1:1 correlation to winning. Talent is needed but when you have going against team's with equal or better talent coaching matters. Most of the SEC can easily match whatever talent LSU will bring in.

We have our dogs cremated, so arrangements are made with Heavens Pets in Metairie to pick them up from the vet office. We pay up front, have everything done in a private room and the vet leaves us with them so say our goodbyes. Once we leave they take them in the back and store them until they're picked up by Heavens Pets.

---

This was my experience with my vet as well. We had to put down our family dog that we had for 17 years about a month ago. It was emotionally brutal. Sorry for the OP's lost.

That's why I think it's asinine when people scramble to get a house in the best school districts or pay outrageous private school tuitions. How you raise your kids is vastly, vastly more important than what kind of high school they attend whether average or good school, doesn't matter. Parenting matters exponentially more to how they turn out academically and professionally successful.

---

I agree with you for the most part, but when you have an impressionable teenager, the environment he's surrounded by matters too. We noticed this when my son was in 7th grade. He was in a public school and started doing things that he was picking up from friends and and his surrounding environment that we felt that was counterproductive to what we were teaching him at home.

We decided to move him to a private catholic school in 8th grade and he's been doing very well ever since. Now that's he's in the 10th, we feel like he's equipped to make better decisions when he's confronted with peer pressure to make the right decisions.

Parents need to constantly talk to their kids, be involved, and ask questions. I believe a lot of parents allow their kids to be locked up in their room all day, don't engage with them at all, and are clueless as to what they're involved with.

just reviewed an article as it appears Peabody went extremely cold - Peabody shot 21 percent (12-of-56) from the field, including 33 percent (4-of-12) from the free-throw line. 0 excuse for shooting 4/12 from the FT line.
Credit Hannan for the W

Peabody came out and tried to set the tone with their physicality and Hannan matched it. Hannan's defense has been very good. There's a reason why Peabody shot 12/56 from the field. This was an all out war defensively. Neither team shot the ball well because of how suffocating the defenses were. No one from either team scored double figures. Once Hannan got out to an 8 pt lead in the 4th, I knew they had this game won. Peabody hit a shot with the clock running out to cut the score to 2 pts.

Some opt to join after college so they don't have to go through the stupid arse hazing they put the undergrads through.
