It's a risk, though one worth taking I think, as that talent with this coach clearly isn't getting it done. And I doubt Lusk is going to find himself on the bench of Larry Brown after he is fired.

I think we've seen enough transfers out of the Valley in recent years to say that not getting rid of Lusk is also a risk. And if Lusk is just going to squander all of the talent he has recruited, does it even matter if they would leave with him?


If you want to get rid of Lusk who are you replacing him with that is better?

That is a very open-ended question, but really anyone who knows how to coach. Maybe they can keep Lusk on as a recruiter (since they seem to get great talent)

The Kickapoo coach is probably better when it comes to X's and O's

I wonder if Indiana would be one of the few jobs that could snag Marshall....It would have to, if nothing else, make him consider it...

165-159 and 12 wins coming against sub-D1 competition

74-105 in MVC play (60-65 in last 7 years if you want to consider that a bright spot??)

Finished above .500 twice

Has coached the schools #1 and #2 all time leading scorers and all time leading rebounder

Never played in a postseason tournament that wasn't a pay for play

Year 10, a team with 6 seniors and 1 RS Jr is considered a rebuilding year.

Why would this be considered a bad track record?





You should immediately write this same message in an email to the Athletic Director as well.


What makes you think the AD has an email address??

Some people on this board might think that's an exaggeration but it's not. I think most reasonably successful high school coaches could do a better job with in game coaching than our current HC.

Heck, go grab Keltner out of the Kinesiology department at MSU and he'd be an upgrade.

If anybody is going to go after Marshall, the bidding would probably start in the $5 mill range. I think he's pretty much priced out of almost everything.

Rumblings around BearNation is that a donor has stepped up to foot the buyout bill for Lusk.

It has been said that this weekend plays no role in that decision so I think that he has already been bought out and is being allowed to finish. So even if they do go on a magical run, his 5 year extension for making the NCAAs wouldn't be triggered.
