Maybe we should change the name of this forum.
Jordan Mills on choosing Tech:
“It’s a great experience seeing them play. It was a good atmosphere. The fans stood up the whole game and never sat down. They have a great fan base.”
La Tech should revoke his retirement.
Leon Barmore has pulled some boneyard stunts in his career, but this is the boniest!
Is this now the darkest day in Lady Techster history?
Actually things are looking up...Football and mens basketball will be on the rise. Tech is more than women's basketball.Originally Posted by DFWDawg
It is for me. I agree about changing the forum name, this is not the legacy Leon left behind
Yes. And not just Techster history. Tech history.
This is what you get what you pay for leads to.
Mulkey hires fomer mentor Barmore as Baylor women’s assistant
By Jim Barnes | Friday, April 25, 2008, 10:25 PM
Tribune-Herald assistant sports editor Jerry Hill reports:
This time, Kim Mulkey outdid herself.
After filling previous openings with the lead assistant off Texas’ staff and the head coach at Princeton, the Baylor women’s basketball coach hooked the biggest fish of all on Friday when she lured Louisiana Tech Hall of Fame coach Leon Barmore out of retirement.
“I’m shocking the world,” said Mulkey, who played and coached under Barmore at Tech. “To be able to get a coach of Leon Barmore’s stature out of retirement is unbelievable. And for him to join our program and help us to continue to build an elite team, it just tickles me to death. Coach Barmore got out of the game too early. He has an unbelievable mind for the game of basketball.”
The 63-year-old Barmore retired for the second time in two years in August 2002, ending an incredible 20-year reign at the Ruston, La., school that included 576 wins, 20 consecutive trips to the NCAA Tournnament, nine Final Four appearances and the 1988 national championship.

Chris Long's Legacy ??
Dan Reneau's Legacy ??
Jim Oakes' Legacy ??
Jim Oakes' Legacy, is an obvious choice
We could have had Mulkey if she were a man she would have gotten the extra yr she wanted
I vote for B.
A. Chris Long's Legacy ??
B. Dan Reneau's Legacy ??
C. Jim Oakes' Legacy ??
theres no doubt Leon was in agony watching from the upper ring at the TAC. We met him walking around the open area a couple of times and I swear it looked like he was fixing to toss his cookies. I dont think there was ever a chance for him to come back to the program. He saved it for us once, that ought to be enough. No doubt this is gonna be a pretty emotional subject for so many. I'm kinda floor myself but Leon deserves to be happy and feel needed and obviously Waco is where that fuzzy feeling is gonna come from.
Back when Leon stepped down, it did seem that maybe he had a difficult time dealing with the current type of player that is all to common these days. I think that had a lot to do with what i saw in Coach Gallaway the softball coach before things happened that lead to his leaving also. Can Coach Barmore get back in it with the same fire taht he had back in teh day? I think he probally can and if Baylor is attracting the old school type player that he was used to, he will be in Barmore Heaven.
Personally, i think we have Gary Blair and A&M to thank for this :icon_wink: Actually, we might even have Van to thank for it down in BRouge. Our retired guy might have seen how it put a sparkle in Vans eye and decided to dust off the suit and give it a go.
...a desperate and devastated Tech nation calls out to Champion110 to come and put a positive spin on the tragic news of the day. Where is he, why is he nowhere to be found at this critical hour???
Seriously, I doubt that even Champ can pull something positive out of this... :bigcry:
In case anyone is intersted.
