It wasn't smoke and mirrors. You played 4 teams who don't even count in the RPI. Then you play 8 teams with an RPI of 200+. Your best win on the season is either A) a 9 point loss at Duke B) an 11 point loss at NC State or C) A win over RPI 228 UNC Asheville. The schedule was a joke. It didn't set you up for conference play. Nobody respected your record.

you're right....maybe, just maybe, this time he's right (forget about his "logic" regarding the "why")

you guys are on a merry-go-round and next year is always this one.....sometimes change just has to happen

too many people put a stamp on loyalty....this isn't the 20th century.....it's a dog eat dog world and coaches know that

Actually I'm fairly certain what you desribed is smoke and mirrors, and you just want to trash Lebo and especially ECU some more. In closing you can go to hell.

put me in that camp then....nothing the man said was inaccurate or subjective....dude, that hundo I made last night betting against you guys was too easy....that's subjective

Lebo will stay. If this board is any indication, ECU fans have extremely low expectations for basketball. Anything above .500 is satisfactory. I've never seen a CBI or CIT or whatever ridiculous tournament it was celebrated with such fanfare.

Well I'm glad you made some money. It's a pitty I haven't been betting against your sorry ass football program the last 2 years because I'd be filthy rich right now.

A pitty indeed

Besides, ECU has had a lot of issues this year. It'll take another year or two of poor performance before Lebo is really on the hot seat.

I don't think Lebo is a very good coach, but even I wouldn't fire him because of the results of this season.

Is this true? Regardless, I agree with those that say Lebo shouldn't be on the hot seat yet.

I guess it just depends on how you want to look at it. Here's a definition:

the obscuring or embellishing of the truth of a situation with misleading or irrelevant information.

I don't think any thing about your record was misleading. You beat a bunch of crap teams and racked up the wins. ECU proved they were a better team than most 250+ teams.

I don't care to trash Lebo, I think he's done a fine job as your coach. I don't want to even trash ECU, because I'm nervous as hell about Saturday because Richmond can drop 40 on any given day. But, I hope we demolish you. Then I hope every other team in conference play does the same. Then I hope you lose in the first round of the conference tournament by 40. And then next year I hope the entire AAC makes ECU basketball its *****.

I'm exaggerating a bit. It was through 2019, so I guess it was a 6 year extension.
