Lutz says State rumor is UNTRUE on NinerReport.com

I know some of you will I’m nuts for bringing this subject off of page 2-3 or whereever it was… but so be it, its called freedom of speech…right?

Even in victory today, I thought Coach Lutz, in his radio comments, still sounded a little frustrated that the environment is not like this more often.

I’m sure he doesn’t expect 9,105 for every game, but I couldn’t help but wonder if he’s a bit frustrated by the underappreciation for his team’s efforts.

I’ve stated before that student support is as good this year as I’ve ever seen it, but its still poor in relation to the tickets that are made available for students.

Maybe if more tickets were available for selling to the general public, the school could raise more revenue to sustain/build the basketball program.

Coach Lutz isn’t THE ONLY person who can build this program, but I do think there is something to be said for continuity.

If I’m wrong when the season is over, I’ll be more than proud to admit it, but I still can’t help thinking that he thinks he may have gone as far as he can at this school.

Oh and as far as A10 vs. CUSA, there are plenty of bottom feeders in both leagues, I don’t see a big enough difference that its worth worrying about now. Unless Charlotte had football, they had no shot (IMO) of going anywhere but the A10 or CUSA. Given that, I’d rather be in the A10 for the 05-06 season.

By the way, the rumor was not started in regards to the state board, it was from the talk on the UVA board ! Go do the search on Lutz at the Sabre board.

I would be much much more worried about the UVA job being attractive to him than the State job.

UVA is the state university, better recruiting target area, does not neccesarily have to compete with Tobacco road for success, new on campus arena etc…

BP also sounded frustrated about our lack of fan support.

He really fed off the crowd, and you could tell he loved having everyone there cheer for him. Maybe that’s all we need to get him to play like that at home, a full house that cares.
