Do you think Grambling's men basketball program will ever make the NCAA tourney? Last time I could remember Grambling ever coming close was when my homeboy Napoleon "Big Nap" Johnson was y'all center back in the 80's.

You are acting like we gave him a lifetime contract. It was just a 2-year extension. You never want a winning coach to go into the last year of their contract without a deal.

You naysayers can be like "Doubting Thomas" all you want. The facts are, this is a hungry young coach that took down SEC's Texas A&M and put a big scare in a number 1 seed Gonzaga. He won the SWAC tourney and has brought the program back from the abyss. S.U. basketball is gradually ascending back where it belongs. If you all wouldn't get compensation for excellent performance on your jobs, you would be crying bloody murder. S.U. is back and whomever so don't like it can go .......... :lol: :emlaugh:

"Leader of Kings"
The man who led Southern University men’s basketball to its first NCAA tournament appearance since 2006 will soon be rewarded.
Southern coach Roman Banks, who last month completed his second season with the program, is in line for a contract extention, the school announced Tuesday.
“We have reached an agreement, in principal, to extend the contract of head coach Roman Banks as the leader of the Southern Jaguars men’s basketball team,” Southern Athletic Director William Broussard said in a university news release.
Reached by phone Monday, Broussard said he could not comment further on the contract because it has not been approved by the SU System Board of Supervisors.
Broussard said the deal could be approved later this month.
Banks agreed to a three-year deal in 2011 that paid him $115,000 in base salary. A year later, Broussard reworked the coach’s contract to include a number of performance-based incentives.
The announcement of the extension came a day before the start of college basketball’s spring signing period.
“There have been so many rumors and so much speculation about what I’m going to do and where I was going to be,” Banks said, “that it had affected recruiting. Being able to tell (recruits) I’ve agreed to a long-term deal removes some of the anxiety from kids and parents, knowing I’m going to be here.”
Banks said he was approached in recent weeks about job openings at other schools, either as a head coach or top assistant. However, he would not say which schools contacted him.

That's the point these naysayers are missing. People missed the fact that SU was #2 last year while Valley was winning. To do what he did when you know you won't have a post season was remarkable. Same thing happened this year with TSU and UAPB. It's our turn next year to make that run after the APR stuff :lol:

lol Davis (TxSU) and Coach Banks may have a say so. Has a SWAC school ever won back to back championships?
