Re: Kolby King in transfer portal

This is appears to be on Dannen for extending him. It's quiuite possible that we would owe RH a few million if he is fired. That may drop seriously after next year at which point we can invest even more in a different coach.

Re: Point of order... the season is over ....Hunter should be fired

I think the “takes a while to learn” stuff is just an excuse. If a defense is so complicated that it takes years for a player to be able to play it then it is a garbage strategy. I think Hunter just uses that as an excuse to keep his preferred 7 man rotation and make it seem like this defense is so...

Re: Point of order... the season is over ....Hunter should be fired

Bottom line is talent wins. Not in Hunter's system. It literally limits the abiity to win. I said elsewhere, we could bring in three 5-star guys for next year and the results would be the same, if not worse, than this year. They would not learn the defense fast enough or well enough to play it effe...

Re: Should Tulane care about basketball?

I'm tired of hearing that our facilities are poor. That's false. Do we have an arena with a large capacity and fancy amenities? No, but that doesn't mean we have poor facilities. I'm certain our players have everything they need and probably some of what they desire. Additionally, our practice faci...

The best part about hiring Wade would be sticking it to LSU. We could pay him more than McNeese and would have a better NIL budget for his strong ass offers.
