nobody wants pansy calls made in the last few seconds of a close game.

If Duke and LSU were reversed, would you still be arguing for those calls to be made AGAINST us???

she's only 63 and it seems has the personality that won't be happy sitting in a rocking chair.

IMO, she's not close to being done yet, unless there's an unknown personal issue involved.

The bottomless spending spree at @LSU is a perfect example of one of life's great truisms. When people ask for more money for health care, infrastructure, education et al, and the politicians say there's no more money ... there's always more money.

good lord Seth, what a moron you are.

Government money comes from confiscating it from taxpayers. If the govt keeps raising taxes thinking "there's always more money," they'll discourage economic activity and can actually drive people from the state (see the exodus from NY to FL). And they can't just keep raising taxes on the theory that "there's always more money" - see the Laffer Curve.

Besides, isn't the LSU buyout money paid by private donors? Massive difference from Seth's idiotic thoughts.

[Woodward] was he a big disappointment when it came to his football and men’s basketball hires.

not only the bad guys he hired, but the absurd contracts he gave both of them. A double fail, on both.

Wait like four or five days to save 2 million and if it doesn’t work out, go hire someone else.

It’s not that hard.

agreed, but why wait to get rid of MM? Fire him already and wait to announce Wade on April 1.

And if, for some reason, WW doesn't come here, the basketball world already knows we have an opening.

yep, the NBA wants to pour even more subsidies down the drain to prop up a league that can't survive on its own.

So much for merit.

Bringing an 8 month old to Alex Box

bad idea. He won’t remember anything and the effort required by you will make the experience difficult for you.

I brought my daughter to her first ballgame around age 5 or 6 and it was great.

I think the more interesting question is with the WNBA about to approve massive pay increases where players can start making more like half a mil a year up to a million per year; do we start to see more early declarations for the WNBA as a result?

---

if that's true, it's only because the huge subsidies the NBA pays to keep the WNBA alive will get much, much larger.

Let the WNBA (and any other organization) live or die on its own merit.

If a few loses speed up the departure of an incompetent HC, then so be it.

The health and strength of the program is a lot more important than LSU losing a few games.

this is correct. Short term pain for long term gain.

If it's clear that a coach isn't going to get us where we want to be, then it's better to get rid of him, rather than let him linger for a few more mediocre or bad years. All that does is delay getting the coach who can get things going in the right direction.
