Louisiana Tech Men's Basketball head coach Talvin Hester added to his support staff on Friday with addition of Dave Nedbalek as video coordinator and Austin Joyner as recruiting coordinator.
More...
Discuss it here.
Good Lord! just how many does it take to run a basketball team? Should hire a couple more. Need a manager to wash the balls...
Deep-state? :laugh:
Exactly. I want to know when we are going to get some new COMMITS from players. I don't give a crap about who the "video coordinator" is. Priorities people, priorities.
I think the commits will come - no need to be in a big hurry. Better to get players who will help you instead of just grabbing folks quickly. There probably isn't much to choose from among the high school ranks at this late date - unless you can get some to change prior commitments. If it were me, I'd look at the folks in the transfer portal and JUCO ranks for next year.Quote:

We currently have 2 open spots (signees that followed Konkol to Tulsa), plus Junior makes 3. No other players have announced they are entering the portal. We can look to the portal to find a BIG or find some HS players.

Ticket sales, merchandising, TV revenue, etc...all go into the revenue side against the expense side. Have a net income or we'll find someone who can.
Actually, to be fair, it's not just athletics. Universities as a whole are dinosaurs and need to be phased out in favor of technical "colleges" geared toward training a workforce. But, that is best discussed on the Political Forum.
Yet he received a $500,000 per year contract, the same as the previous coach with 7 years of head coaching experience at Tech. Maybe we offered him $600,000 per year and he declined.Quote:
