Karl still in the SACOTU phase of his life.

When the byline says "News Services - special to BleedTechBlue.com" it means they copied and pasted the release from Tech's SID. I'm pretty sure Malcolm wrote that article.

OK, BTB's post was based on the "release."

So was what KTBS posted: http://www.ktbs.com/story/24986952/weatherspoon-fired

So was what TNS posted: http://www.thenewsstar.com/viewart/2...a-Weatherspoon

So was what KTVE posted: http://www.myarklamiss.com/story/d/story/teresa-weatherspoon-out-as-la-tech-coach/10341/euSoZQxCPEWkdxrPmQRR3w

Saturday night at 10 pm., yeah such institutional news all originates with the SID. Then . . . everyone adds their twist.

But it is not your place to judge anyone's performance PERIOD. "Are you hawkbacker2"?

“This decision was very difficult to make and was not made without careful consideration of all the facts and implications,” McClelland said. “We are grateful for the loyal and dedicated service Teresa has given to the program during her tenure. She is a big part of the lore of this storied program, and her accomplishments as a Louisiana Tech player and coach will always be remembered.”

As a player at Louisiana Tech, Weatherspoon helped lead legendary head coach Leon Barmore’s team to the 1988 NCAA Division I national title. She was named the Wade Trophy winner as the nation’s top collegiate player as a senior.

“Lady Techster basketball has a great tradition and a tremendous national reputation,” McClelland said. “The measuring stick for success in women’s basketball at Louisiana Tech is higher than most programs around the country. The University is committed to reviving the competitiveness of the Lady Techsters.”

McClelland said that a national search for Weatherspoon’s successor will begin immediately but that no timetable has been established for hiring her replacement.--University release

Does this mean he will go after Mulkey?

Bulldogbacker2 is an NLULM fan trolling on here. I think he/she should have been banned a long time ago.

Why? Shouldn't fans of other schools be welcome here?

[bulldogbacker2]

i am in position to give my opinion and i do...to both schools...i have wxpressed my feelings on here and to our leaders at both

[bulldogbacker2]

great thing about this is i do not have to worry bout what others think....we all can speak our mind...like i say i wish her nothing but the best...but i felt change was needed

I was just pointing out that BTB didn't write that article. It was the school's press release. That is all.

Certainly. I welcome fans from other schools. I like it when they post here. But bulldogbacker2 is a NLULM troll posing as a Tech fan, and he/she has overstayed his/her welcome. He/she has posted over 1000+ incoherent thoughts rooting for Tech to fail.

[bulldogbacker2]

get out of here...my post generally surround a need to show people what an idiot I am.

[PawDawg]

While I can appreciate Karl's distrust of our admin, they were right to fire Spoon, and I trust his judgement even less. Rupp was his guy....abject disaster. Karl has no experience in college athletics outside of hanging around Tech lately. He is a big donor and he can carry his money if he wants to, but I am not sure we should let all big donors/former athletes have a say in running the athletic department.

Spoon was his hire too. He is an lsu fan now. Let him go.

[bulldogbacker2]

cant please all boosters

[Kiwi Techster]

Here comes Karl.

@TheDeliverer_32: It's is an absolute sad day at Louisiana Tech Athletics, with the firing of Coach Spoon.
@TheDeliverer_32: And I am ashamed, once again, on the way the powers to be handled the situation. So until Louisiana Tech start to think about the students.
@TheDeliverer_32: ..and student athletes my family and I will no longer give financial support to the school.
@TheDeliverer_32: Also, I have a whole lot of time. Why don't, before decisions are made, we have a open forum. To get more people involved for the betterment
@TheDeliverer_32: ..of our community and Louisiana Tech. LA Tech is more and more reminding me of our federal government who's holding them accountable?
@TheDeliverer_32: One other thought, wouldn't It be nice to have two to three former Tech athletes involved in decision making? I'll do it for free!
Then KJ chimes in:
@Kj63Kj: @TheDeliverer_32 LSU!!!

Looks like he's still on tilt from Jordan's steal.
