That is the bright spot considering his conference record in the same 9 1/2-year-span is 97-142 (.406). There has been no post-season appearances or titles of any kind.

Of course, we all know that blame really falls to Reneau, Oakes, BVDV, pitchers, batters, fielders, the Lady Techsters, travel, the WAC, the ice machine (or lack of), scorekeepers, the weather, negative alumni like me, GWB, etc... I guess, considering all of the challenges that Simoneaux has had to overcome, we should accept reality that he is actually a great coach and we should be grateful that he has managed to win 46% percent of his games.
Seriously, this guy makes Rupp and Bicknell look like good coaches. This is his 10th year and has yet to produce. It is time for a change if he does not make the NCAA Tournament.
