What I hope for from Coach White

[LThoo]

Aside from that which obvious...the Charlie Sheen aspect of his job (WINNING), what do you guys hope to see from Coach White? For me its a short but tedious task. I hope that he does for basketball what Coach Dooley did for football. Reignite the fanbase and win back some fan support for our MBB team. White is young and from what I hear, charismatic. This team doesn't just need a new coach, it needs an overhaul of leadership so my wish is that Coach White can get us all pumped up and we can pack the TAC. Best of luck to our newest bulldog

Email from an old Johnny Vaught era Ole Miss alum about White.

"Mike White is a great young man. He has the potential to be to your BB program what Derek Dooley was to your FB. He can recruit."

Pretty strong statement

With that being said, I really hope he can bring some changes around the TAC like Dooley was able to accomplish at the Joe. I know the head coach can only do so much, but I think with any sport it starts with the figure head then trickles down the ladder.

Recruit good players with good character within a 300 mile radius of Ruston.

The first thing we need is a new State T on the side of the TAC. I would like to see the new LATECH logo on it.

I disagree. I hope he wins more than 33% of his games in his last year with us!

That's what I found so frustrating with Rupp. Every season there was some fiasco/debacle with thuggery behavior.

First, WELCOME Coach White. You have some FANTASTIC initials!!! (What's the middle name??)

Immediate: Take the chance to truly rebuild. We have 2 open scholly's (I think). Grab a HS 4 and a HS 5. DO NOT go grab two more juncos for those positions. We will be RIGHT BACK in the same position next year if you do that. McNeail, CJ Scott (if he returns), Olu (if he returns), and Brandon "I ain't got no more knees to blow out" Gibson should be able to carry this team to a fairly decent record with some solid coaching. (of course, I didn't follow a bit of conference play, so I don't know what everyone else has coming back)

Long term: Well.... I can't say it any better....

Pinky: Gee, Brain. What are we going to do tonight?
The Brain: The same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to take over the world.

Welcome to the Tech Family, Coach Michael White, beautiful wife Kira, two daughters, Rylee and Maggie, and twin boys, Collin and Keegan!

I hope Coach White will throw out the first pitch at the baseball game Wednesday night since he'll probably miss the Spring Game due to the Final Four.
