Great article! That sentence also illustrates a good leadership point that I think Tyler understands: when there are things you don't understand, delegate to someone who does!

North Texas defeats #17 Oklahoma 61-57
Well, either CUSA is going to be tough this year or Oklahoma was overranked. So hard to tell this early in the season.Originally Posted by Blue Dawg
Extremely difficult to tell in women's ball anyway. Outside of a handful of good and bad teams, everyone else is pretty close.
ULL crushed Ole Miss (at Ole Miss) this weekend and Florida Atlantic beat a very good Florida Gulf Coast team.
In mid-season retrospect, this might have been a good year (for LaTech) to have scheduled a late season bout with the Lady Vols! Not sure we (Lady Techsters) would have won, but the media spotlight on how we've improved and the initial evidence of CTS' fingerprints on the program would surely have opened a larger pool of recruits' front doors to us.
But all of us (LT and LV fans) need Holly Warlick to find some success soon. The talent she has on the floor and on the bench just hasn't gelled. This LV team plays far below the level of the sum of it's parts. Now everyone is calling for Holly's head, and our AD (from U. of Alabama) has shown himself to be bottom line only when it comes to women's sports.
As much as I (also a Lady Vols fan) would like to see a successful Tyler Summitt eventually return to coach the orange, I want him to truly rebuild the Lady Techster program, to prove what can still be done today in a smaller college program. I don't want the call from Knoxville to come prematurely, nor out of a UT AD's desperation to correct falling attendance and season ticket sales.
But something tells me (and I don't think this will happen), if UT called Tyler about taking the job in the next year or two... I believe he would turn it down. I honestly believe he understands his mission now is to rebuild the Lady Techster program, regardless of whether he also believes his eventual destiny is to return to Knoxville.
I'd certainly like to renew the old rivalry.
He needs to stay right there in Ruston.
Exactly! He can honor his Mother and Leon by re-building and sticking with a program long term and earning his name in the history books right here.He needs to stay right there in Ruston.
AGREED! To have gentlemen in the public eye who are men of honor rather than just ambition is a need that extends beyond sports.
It will be interesting to see over time if CTS, like his mother, will also produce and inspire a next generation of coaches. Of course at Tyler's age, I guess it wouldn't be a "next generation" but more like a cohort of cousins.
So true!
UT would not touch him at this point...maybe in 7-10years
added streaming links for C-USA Tourney to schedule. Rice game will be on CSN Chicago Plus
