UL-Lafayette to look for new men's hoops coach
NCAA Basketball Betting Lines
03/09/2010 - Lafayette, LA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The University of Louisiana-Lafayette has decided not to retain men's basketball coach Robert Lee, whose contract expired at the conclusion of this season.
Lee had spent the past 14 seasons with the Ragin' Cajuns, including the last six as head coach. He was an assistant for eight years before taking over the top spot before the 2004-05 season.
"This decision is both difficult and painful, because I consider Coach Lee a man of outstanding character and a valued friend," said UL athletic director David Walker. "His loyalty to the university and his commitment to the young men he coaches have never been questioned."
Lee guided the Cajuns to a record of 13-17 this past season, ending with a 76-75 loss to UL-Monroe in the first round of the Sun Belt Tournament. The school reached the NCAA Tournament in Lee's first season, but he inherited both academic and NCAA issues that resulted in scholarship losses for the program.
"The university places a great deal of importance on both the academic success and the conduct of our student-athletes. Coach Lee has excelled in both of these critical areas, and we will be forever grateful for the contributions he made. But a program's success is also measured by wins and losses," added Walker.
Lee finished with a record of 80-100, but failed to record a winning season after the 2004-05 squad finished 20-11.
