Can we just make sure the dudes who did the D-Wade one don't come anywhere near this one?

No reason to not be working on it for Watsco front steps immediately

Absolutely!

Coach L lead this program with integrity, passion, and competence.

He genuinely cared about teaching young men as much or more than he cared about winning - and pre-NIL the former would reliably translate into the latter.

He brought our school more basketball success in his 13 year tenure than in the entire prior history of the program combined.

From NBA players to Sweet 16’s, Elite 8’s, and a Final 4.

I remember 15 years ago when the goal was to make the tournament every other year. Jim averaged a Sweet 16 appearance every 3.25 years during his time at Miami.

Absolutely build the man a statute - and let’s build on the success he has brought this program.

One of him and Katie should be there, especially when one looks at the obstacles she faced building the Miami program from practically absolute zero. I'd also be fine with L getting the court named after him.

For the record, I appreciate everything Coach L did for our program. However, considering we never won a national title and the abrupt ending to his tenure here, not to mention the fact he seems to have left the program in complete disarray I wouldn’t be inclined to build him a statue. Let’s leave the statues for guys like Ron Fraser, Schelly and Jimmy.

The ending really does put a huge black mark on everything. It's unfortunate, never could've imagined it ending like this.

Really gonna miss that signature whistle, almost makes a grown man cry how much he poured into the University from day one.

In his press conference when Rad thanked him and his family for everything they had done for the Hurricanes Jim stood up and was shocked at everyone barely clapping he said "not much of an ovation id say" staring intensely at the Hurricanes staff and media... one reporter said "its like a funeral in here Jim" I have never seen Coach L look truly upset like that. He always has a positive spin on everything in life but after watching the press conference you can see he is fed up with the state of college athletics and has no remaining positives. He is a teacher/coach showing young boys how to become men not a sports agent trying to negotiate with high schoolers trasnfers comical demands. To someone like Jim who is traditional and old school has an endless work ethic and busted his *** for everything he has in life its time to move on, not enough money in the world to deal with that bull****e.

Sickening to be honest. College sports are *** now unless you forkin out MILLIES and that's just bootycheeks. Scared money don't make money i guess
