[Herman_Momart]

No thanks.  

[Cubanbull]

Ill have to agree his team ended on a FIVE game slide losing to:

FIU, FAU,Troy, Middle Tenn and Syracuse.

His biggest win was by five vs Houston

[USFan]

No gracias

[He Who Knows]

Uhhhh...South Alabama isnt exactly cream of the crop in terms of stature so two 20 win seasons, an NCAA and an NIT is impressive .  Yeah they ended the season poorly but I watched that game against Syracuse tonight and liked what I saw a lot in terms of style of play, and the way he handled the bench.  Dont be so quick to write him off.

[Cubanbull]

Ill rather have

lowery- southern illinois

Hobbs-Geo. washington

Lutz-Charlotte

Come one guys. We're NOT getting a Lavin or Majerus. We're not locking down Anthony Grant and more than likely not Chris Lowery.

Pelphrey got South Alabama to the dance! Ya, he hasn't beaten anyone great but back to back 20 win seasons at a school like that is not done by a bad coach.

He's gotta be a guy you consider. We all want the "home run" coach, unfortunately I don't see it happening.

[Guest BasketBull.]

Our last coach took a school to the dance, too...

I actually would not mind this guy. His team played real tough tonight and went toe to toe vs a good Big East basketball team. It prob isint real easy to recruit in the Sun Belt and draw players to Bum **** Alabama. The guy took the South Alabama job as a steping stone. He has been an asst for some very good teams. This may be the perfect fit for USF.
