Lou Roe update

Post by 69MG » Tue Oct 01, 2013 8:21 am

A friend of mine pointed out that we haven't heard anything about Lou in a while. In looking at the 2013-2014 roster, Lou is not included in the list of coaches. I had high hopes that he could develop the big men. Does anyone know what happened?

isn't he considered a non-staffer until he graduates?

I see Lou around town often so he is in the area still. I just saw him last week getting out of his big black SUV in front of Black Sheep.

...and he was included in the team picture, so he must be involved in some way.

I thought he had gotten his degree during this past season.....maybe over winter session? I remember it being talked about here.....that he was officially on staff then and was a coach.

I thought that also, which was my cause for concern.

Dewey, can you confirm?

I saw him in a recent picture when they were huddled as a team on the court. . .it was definitely from this year since the frosh were in the picture.

I just saw him at Costco Sunday with his wife (I assume). He was wearing some UMass gear.

^ Thanks for the clarification. I'm relieved as I think Lou can really help the program.
