Tim Floyd?????[/quote]

Don't put any stock in that Sleepy.  UNLV's only trying to dredge up an old argument about how LU passed on a coach who went on to later have success

LU passed up on Coach K, Roy Williams and Tom Izzo also at some point!!!  ;D

Floyd isn't the only successful head coach Lamar has interviewed and gone in a different direction. Bob West wrote an article one time of the coaches either interested in Lamar or LU interviewed and ended up hiring someone else. There were at least 5 names people would recognize he mentioned in his article.

But they actually interviewed Floyd.

Yeah imagine that...They didn't even so much as send a letter of interest to the other guys when they were available. ::)

Point is every program passes on someone that makes it big at some point. Even the big dogs get it wrong sometimes!

Lamar interviewed Del Harris as well and turned him down.  Who knows if Tim Floyd would have been succesful here.  We have had like 6 or 7 coaches since then none of which have been successful.  One of them being Billy Tubbs who is a hall of famer. All of you guys want a proven head coach???  Mike Deane was as proven of a head coach that we could ever get and he failed.  I want us to try another young and up and comer who has ties to the state of Texas or is a product of a really good recruiter.  Roc did not work and I must admit I thought he would.  With that said I want to try someone of his breed again.  I hear an assistant at K-State is interested as well.  Hell..........who knows!!!!!!!!!

    • What the writer stated wrt crossover votes in the primary/runoff: "Covey and his supporters Paxton and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said Phelan only won because Democrats crossed over to vote in the Republican Primary for him. Paxton said Covey’s campaign identified “at least” 1,442 Democrats who voted early in Jefferson County in the primary runoff. Texas does not have party registration, but a voter’s primary voting history is public. The Covey campaign has not released its methodology behind its claim, but  This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up  by The Texan news website found that 9% of Republican voters in the March District 21 primary had voted in one of the previous four Democratic primaries. However, only 5% of that group had voted in all four previous Democratic primaries. What Phelan’s opponents did not mention is historically Democratic Jefferson County is undergoing a political transition towards the Republican party — the county judge switched his affiliation to the GOP in 2017 — so many residents have a mixed primary voting history. And Phelan’s allies in the House dismissed the idea that liberals swung the election. "I knocked on doors, hundreds and hundreds of doors, made calls for Dade,” Republican Rep. Jeff Leach, R-Plano, said on Mark Davis’ radio program Wednesday. “I did not speak to a single Democrat down here in HD21. Not a single one." "
