2007-08 Louisiana’s Ragin’ Cajuns Men’s Basketball Game Day Notebook The Western Kentucky Game • 10 Head Coach Robert Lee LEE AT A GLANCE robert Birthdate LEE March 12, 1968 Hometown New Roads, La.

Year at UL Head Coach 12th (Fourth as head coach) Fourth Season Nicholls State, 1991 UL Coaching Record 33-49

He paid his dues. Now it’s his turn to call the shots. That was the motto under which Louisiana’s Career Coaching Record Ragin’ Cajuns men’s basketball head coach Robert Lee entered the 2004-05 season with – his Same fi rst as the top boss of the program. Lee had spent the previous eight seasons as an assistant coach on the Ragin’ Cajuns bench Alma Mater under former head coaches Marty Fletcher and Jessie Evans. During the off season following Nicholls State, 1991 the 2003-04 season, Lee was elevated to head coach rewarding him for his outstanding service to the program while an assistant. Family Now, Lee enters his fourth season as the head coach of the men’s basketball program. wife Donique, daughter Jourdan and son Trei In his fi rst year as head coach, he posted an even 3-3 mark on the court. His second season at the helm in Cajun Country didn’t go as smooth as the fi rst – the Ragin’ Cajuns suff ered their fi rst losing season since 1998-99. But, to his credit Lee was able to make some late season adjustments in the team’s style of play to fi t his personnel – a trait which makes him one of the top strategists in the Sun Belt Conference. UL was sitting at 5-14 at the end of February and could have mailed it in down the stretch. Lee wouldn’t allow his team to do so. He took a group of guys and taught them to value the “team” concept and not worry about the individual statistics. The end result was his squad ending the regular season 7-1 in February and advancing to the semifi nals of the Sun Belt Conference Tournament. To transform a team that looked disorganized for nearly two-thirds of the season into a conference contender in the fi nal fi ve weeks speaks volumes of the determination that Lee has to see the Louisiana-Lafayette program succeed. More valuable in Lee’s character is importance on preparing young men for the future. More memorable than wins and losses in the 2005-06 season was Lee’s molding of Michael Southall into a dominant basketball player once more. Southall who had spent the previous two seasons away from basketball with off -court issues was given a second chance with the Ragin’ Cajuns. Lee looked at it as an opportunity for a young man to prepare for the future. The chance given to Southall allowed him to play competitively once more to improve his chances at a spot in the NBA and allowed Lee to teach him the values of being a well-rounded citizen. Last season, the Ragin’ Cajuns suff ered the fewest wins (9) since the 1986-87 season when UL won just 11 contests. It was also UL’s fi rst non-winning record at the Cajundome since 1994-95. Even though Lee has only been the UL head coach for three full seasons, he has already laid down the foundation for a program that will focus on winning in the game of life fi rst and letting the chips fall where they may on the basketball court.
