    I'm not going to comment on my opinion of women's basketball because it won't be a nice.

    But to go along with your comment about run and dunk ball, it amazes me how the art of shooting the basketball has become an after-thought in the college game IMO. At one point, shooting the ball well was a prerequiste to playing the game and certainly a necessity to get a scholarship. Nowadays it obviously isn't because I see airballs and bricks being thrown up in bunches.

    Maybe I'm getting old but college ball and players were much better shooters in the 70s, 80s and early 90s. Things have dropped off considerably in the last 10 years IMO.

    My father's lessons to me were: there is always a place on a team for a good shooter in basketball and a place for a good fielder in baseball. Neither are very true anymore.

    LSUCraig yep 11 years and is the most winninest coach in LSU history. The most SEC titles. Most post tourment runs. Also in the top 5 of most winning coach in the SEC. 8 of the 11 years have been winning seasons. 7 of the 11 have been tournment apperance seasons. Is that enough or should I go on. Am I saying we need to keep him no not at all. The last 2 years have been horrible and that is partly not fully his fault. But to say the man sucks is just ignorant. Who do you think would do a better job and we should hire?

    I agree with your assertion that Brady doesn't deserve the level of angst being focused on him. But it's not a fan's job to answer your final question. Hopefully, our new AD will be able to, though...:geaux:

    Huh? :huh:

    The winningest coach in LSU history is Dale Brown -- 448 wins to 273 for Brady.

    Dale had four SEC titles to Brady's two.

    Dale took LSU to the NCAA 13 times (including 10 years in a row) to Brady's four. Dale had two final four teams to brady's one.

    Dale Brown is second only to Rupp as the winningest coach in SEC history.

    Dale Brown had 17 consecutive non-losing seasons seasons. Twice National coach of the year-- Brady is still waiting.

    Who's the winninest coach in LSU history? Most post tourment runs? Who are you talking about? And you're calling me ignorant with the spelling issues you have?

    Is this Brady's mom or something?

    Please provide a link so that we can read your information for ourselves?
    It wouldn't happen to be www.JohnBrady.com would it?:tigereye:
    :rofl:

    Btw, for what its worth, John Brady as football coach would not be tolerated at LSU.
    All the excuses in the world to go along with that 58% winning percentage including cup cakes!

    I agree. What a downer for him. He was on such a pedestal he had even further to fall...
