SMU is going to get Lebo fired.

What makes this 24 point blowout any different than all the others? Lebo, unfortunately isn't going anywhere.

Man your crowd got fired up. Would be amazingly hard with a non-Lebo coach to play there

I wish. Would have been better had we lost by 50.

When full it's as loud as any building I've been in, including Cameron. Problem is it's rarely full and we suck.

In light of what happened to Ruff; Lebo is toast and his teams look worse than ever despite having a fair amount of talent on this roster.

As the losses mount, doesn't he run out of chances??

The attitude that its ok to get blown out is concerning. Lebo is garbage.

I don't want you to get the wrong impression, I think Lebo should have been gone last season if not the year before. We have failed to capitalize on the success of winning the CIT, one of only two teams to not at least make the NIT the next season.

He is clearly out of his league in the AAC. It is hard to argue that the talent hasn't increased under his leadership, however his failure to land a reliable big, and failure to develop the talent we have is glaring. Is past time for him to go, but because of his contract he is unlikely to go anywhere.

I hope with the Ruff buyout going away because he got a new job we can afford to fire him, but I question if we can. We absolutely need to he's a joke of a coach, but we have to have enough money to buy him out and afford to spend at least as much if not more on a replacement.

How can ECU afford to keep him? Basketball is a revenue sport. Lebo can't be helping to generate that much. A good young hungry coach would probably be cheaper and would probably generate more excitement and revenue for the program.

There are probably a lot of good young hungry mid major coaches that would do well at ECU. The AAC exposure could probably get some good looks from some decent candidates.

Because hiring a new coach isn't going to increase revenue all that much unless we start having sustained winning at a level we have never reached for several seasons. We can "afford" to keep him because ticket sales overall will remain relatively stable we have averaged roughly the same in attendance for years now. You are also talking about 5 full years of buyout plus having to sign a new coach to a 5 year deal, that's a huge amount of money. I desperately want him to be fired, but I just don't think we can make the numbers work.

Memphis beats Temple 67-65...Memphis is now 11-5 (2-1)

Thanks for bailing us out Temple. We needed a break to go our way in a close game.

So we owe Ruff nothing?

That Temple Memphis game was a big fat plate of sh!t
