LB is feeling feisty

[sadderbudweiser]

I'm thinking the time may come when the travel may be too much for LB and he and Jank seitch positions.

Larry still presides over practices but gives up the game day stresses to Jank.

Why not?

That may be true for a fat boy like me but LB seems to stay in shape and I bet the travel does not phase him.

As far as why not, that would certainly entail a substantial pay increase for Jank and I am not sure we would want to handle both. Do you think LB would take a cut? Maybe?

All great points. Maybe since LB has stated that he hates games, he could serve as a sort of "practice coach/advisor/consultant" to HC Jank. That sounds like a win-win. Down the road . . .

Ummm.. I'm 79 and have no problem traveling. Love it in fact!

I believe that is the plan right now.

John Glen returned to the moon in his 80's. As long as you stay healthy 75 is no big deal these days and besides, not everyone ages the same. I think Larry has a whole lot left and I don't understand the obsession with wanting to push Jank to the fore. As I've said before, the coaches that could have done what Larry has done here wouldn't fill up one hand and Jank isn't one of them. It will be great if he is the guy that can build upon Larry's legacy when the time comes, but I am in no hurry to find out. I hope Larry is here a minimum of 5 more years.

As for paying Larry, I really don't think we can afford to pay him what he is worth based on his job performance and besides, salary has nothing to do with current wealth. Larry doesn't need the money and I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't still getting a check from the Bobcats, but it doesn't matter. Do what it takes to keep Larry happy.

John Glenn never went to the Moon. He is an American hero though as the first American to orbit the Earth. The greatest movie of all time "The Right Stuff" should be seen by all.

That said - turning around the SMU Basketball program was about as daunting of a task as going to the Moon. The fact that Larry did that is amazing and we should start to construct the statue now.

I stand corrected, he saw the moon out of the space shuttle window and he was only 77 but I think you understood my point.

I think Jank vastly out coached LB this year. LBs assertion that we were playing too fast in his absence is crap. We may have played faster, but we also had more depth, ran far more zone and found minutes for a walk-on.

That said, Jank is swag-less as a head man or has been in the past, and this program is built on swag. I guess we'll see,

I saw the Moon out of my car window last night. I too am an American hero

I got your point!

I might have enjoyed Jank's version of offense better than Larry's - but that may have had to do with the personnel (and may not have worked with a younger team) or perhaps might not have worked as well against better competition.

Better Competition? You mean like Stanford and Michigan?

I think he was referring to the razor thin wins against Brown and TCU.

This is a silly argument because LB is the MAN and Jank hails from NTSU and Illinois State. I hope he becomes the man when its his turn but I for one am in no hurry to find out.
