Long's post-game quote

[fanfromafar]

"Considering we played one of the best teams in the country, one that has the potential to contend for the Final Four, I thought we played pretty well," Louisiana Tech coach Chris Long said.

Hmmmm.....we lost by 31 points, shot less than 27%, had 16 turnovers, made only 16 buckets in the game, scored less than 50 points in the entire game, and you thought the Techsters played pretty well.

If Long thinks this is "pretty well," then he needs to go to another school where the lower standards match his own.

What an embarrassment.

And @ the TAC, no less!!

Well, I think it is time to leave this section. I can hardly stomach what has happened to the program. Long MUST go!!!! I think they should fire him Monday morning and let the assts. finish the year. They have to be able to do a better job.

Do you really think JOAKES would do this after conducting the "the nation wide search" to land such a great coach like Long.

[Rooster]

This guy is giving Bicknell a run for his money in being a loser that makes excuses. I'm all about giving the other team some credit, but gosh . . . . .

No. Especially since d.r. took center stage in "the nation wide search" and selection process, and did a special presentation of the results of "the nation wide search" with f.j.t. in attendance.

No Way..............................

I predict that c.l. will hang around longer than k.r. (the first), with even poorer results.

Hope I'm wrong.

I thought it amusing that long picked up on bick's "To tell you the truth," line during the post game interview. When folks do that, they are usually trying to stall for time while they try to figure out some excuse to use. Either that, or it's a dead give away that they are about to tell a lie.

Or, both.

No --- actually he is making Bicknell seem decent and that speaks volumes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where is that football truck --- help him move on out of Ruston today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oakes and Long continue to be an embarassment; They continue to damage the credibilty of a program that was once one of the tops in the nation;

Post season play has disappered and will never bee seen again as long as Oakes/Long's omplacency continues.

WBB at Tech has hit rock bottom, a pathetic caricature of our once proud program and is on life support. The administration has already waited too late to act. By the time they finally get around to replacing Long the program will be dead as with MBB and the Jerry Loyd era. The men's program has never recovered and continues to struggle mightily. A responsible administration would relieve Long now, appoint an assistant as interim coach and begin a search for a coach with national stature.

Not just any assistant, though. Appoint one that was a Lady Techster and played for Leon.

Kelly Jolly seems like a snap for us. I wonder if Insell would come over. I would love to have him but a woman would probably be the way to go now. I agree that Long should resign now.

[Junky]

We went from starting a women's team
To being a good women's team
To a national champion
To a school looking to go for another national champion
To a team looking to just make the sweet 16
to a team just looking to make the turnament
to a team just trying to find the basket

I see a trend.....and I dont think its a good one
