... that Tony Bennett is the favorite to become LSU head basketball coach. Didn't cite any support/sources, so I'm assuming it is just his speculation. But I only heard a clip, so if anyone heard otherwise I'd appreciate the scoop. (Please, let's not turn this into a bash Ott thread!) :lol:

Well Ott does have some scorces from time to time... Thats pretty fast work if its true.. only one day!

Bennett and Grant both turned down the Marquette job over the weekend, and I know for a fact Bennett met with the search firm sunday, all of this is in a article i cant find.

Not a bad resume...

52-7 over two seasons at Wash St.

AP Men's Basketball Coach of the Year (2007)

First year made it to the second round of the NCAA tourney

Second year made it to the sweet 16

did yall like lsu's womens style this year?

just sayin.

if we had the players the womens team has, it wouldn't be such a bad thing. i mean 5 trips to the final four. ya know

yeah, but Fowles didn't magically improve her teammates FG percentage.

key words being this year. before another response another key word is style, not results.

very valid point.

The style doesn't matter as much recruiting the players to fit the style. The style last night was fine but there was a lid on the basket. Big Syl also missed her share of wide open lay ups. On the men's side, everyone knows the lack of a point guard hurt the team. The key is to get a coach who will create excitement and play consistant.
