Gov. Perry names two to Pilot Board

Roc's in a hard place at Lamar

Sometime soon, Lamar University athletic director Billy Tubbs is going to sit down with basketball coach Steve Roccaforte and do his annual end-of-season review on Roc’s performance. Vibes I’m getting suggest it could be the last one they do together, although I’m betting that’s not the case. Roc, as he should, is going to take a lot of heat for Lamar failing to make the Southland Conference tournament for the second consecutive year.
