‘This is her HOME’ COACH FRAN FLORY HOMETOWN: Baton Rouge, La ALMA MATER: University of Texas

19 SEASONS LSU’s head coach THE DAILY REVEILLE ARCHIVES

After 18 seasons at LSU, Fran Flory’s passion for coaching hasn’t faded

BY JOURDAN RILEY | @jourdanr_TDR

LSU coach Fran Flory had no other option but to roll her high school volleyball coach’s house in toilet paper.

Flory’s high school coach, Frances Compton, had just told her defeated volleyball team they didn’t know how to play as a team. She encouraged them to try an activity that would strengthen the team’s dynamic.

Flory decided the best thing to do was prank her coach —“team bonding,” as she called it.

“She was such a tomboy,” Compton said. “She loved sports. She loved [physical education]. She

CHSE takes over LSU Child Care Center management

BY CJ CARVER @CWCarver_ A committee headed by Dan Layzell, vice president for Finance and Administration, convened last fall to discuss transferring the University’s Child Care Center from Auxiliary Services to another operator. In early May, the committee decided to house the Center under the College of Human Sciences and Education.

After deciding on a bid, the transfer to CHSE brought

about changes that have affected the Center’s day-to-day operations.

“We were looking at this as an important service that we provide for our faculty, staff and students who have children, but it’s really not our core mission,” Layzell said. “It might make sense for us to partner with an outside organization that has expertise in running these kinds of facilities on college and university campuses.”

The process with the creation of a committee of

on-campus experts, parents and the Center’s management. The committee then solicited proposals from outside organizations to be considered.

The criteria for consideration were expertise and experience with handling similar centers on other college campuses.

The committee also looked at the salaries and benefits the organizations pay to recruit and retain high-quality teachers and staff and the ways in which the organizations could enhance

FLORY, from page 1 was always the first one in the gym. She was always the one to dust off the floors and put up the net. She did anything and everything to help our program…She was just a natural.”

Compton was close friends with Flory’s parents, who adopted her in New Orleans at nine months old after adopting her older brother five years earlier because they could not have children.

“My parents allowed [me to be an athlete] and provided for that … I know I’m privileged for a family like that,” Flory said.

She said the knowledge of her past hasn’t changed anything for her because she has always known what she wants to do with her life: coach.

“As students, you come to college and you try to figure out

“We’re bringing somebody in to be a partner with the University, not just a vendor,” he said of the proposals.

what you’re going to be, and very few people are privileged enough or know themselves well enough to know what you want to do at a young age,” Flory said.

She began her journey at Magnolia Woods Elementary, where her physical education teacher allowed her to assist in coaching and teaching different sports. There was only one condition: Flory could only help out when her schoolwork finished.

Not only did Flory help her coach, but she was an impressive athlete as well.

Twelve-year-old Flory continued her athletic journey at Episcopal Independent Private School. With no interest in volleyball, Flory joined the swim team, and later, the basketball team.

However, Flory decided to play volleyball after making a deal.

“One of the best athletes in the class a couple years ahead

While one proposal did meet the criteria posed by the committee, members decided that outsourcing the job would not be best for the Center.

German assistant professor Gundela Hachmann, the parent of a child at the Center, was a

of me was begging me to play volleyball because I was a pretty good athlete,” Flory said. “I said ‘OK. I’ll play volleyball if you promise you’ll play basketball’ because she was also a really good athlete.”

Not knowing much about the sport, Flory said she fell in love and went on to attend the University of Texas to play both volleyball and basketball.

“Probably, had basketball season started first, I would be in basketball right now,” Flory said.

Flory said she initially wanted to be a teacher, but learned quickly that she didn’t have the patience for the job.

Coaching? Flory had to be convinced to do that, too.

Compton, a former LSU assistant volleyball coach, convinced Flory to move back to her hometown to become a graduate assistant volleyball coach

at LSU. Now, Flory has been head coach at LSU for 19 seasons. Associate head coach Jill Lytle Wilson, who played for Flory at LSU, coached with her for 10 years.

“We are beyond close in many, many ways, on and off the court,” Wilson said. “She is my ultimate mentor, and that’s why I wanted to be with her so long and also with this program. This is her home. She bleeds purple and gold, and so do I.” Flory loves a lot about coaching, especially winning. But team-building is a close second.

“Bringing this group of young women together toward a common goal and having people from all different backgrounds, ethnicities and socioeconomic situations and bringing them together and teaching them how to be one — that’s what I love about this …

We are one.”

not what we wanted for LSU,” Hachmann said.

After that decision, a separate committee was formed to evaluate the bid presented by CHSE, which already houses the LSU Child Development Laboratory Preschool and University Laboratory School.

Not only did CHSE offer expertise in the field, operating two other on-campus learning environments, but taking control of the Center would also create research opportunities for students studying early childhood education.

The transfer to CHSE brought many efficiencies in the consolidation of the Child Development Laboratory Preschool and the Child Care Center, Layzell said.

Because the Center had been without a director for some time, appointing the Child Development Laboratory Preschool’s director and staff resources to take over the operation allowed the Center to have more direction, Hachmann said.

In addition, new teachers have been recruited, and renovations have been made to the facilities.

“It’s not just superficial changes,” Hachmann said.

“They’re also changing the way they think about the education, the way that they want to teach the children. They’re doing extensive training for the staff that is there … so all of these things are really good, positive changes.”

Q&A: LSU vs. WISCONSIN

The Daily Reveille, The Daily Cardinal talk upcoming duel at Lambeau Field Four days before No. 5 LSU faces Wisconsin at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday at Lambeau Field, Christian Boutwell interviews Bobby Ehrlich, the sports editor at one of the University of Wisconsin’s two student newspapers, The Daily Cardinal.

CHRISTIAN BOUTWELL: How big of a blow is it to Wisconsin’s defense that T.J. Edwards, the middle linebacker who led in tackles for Wisconsin last season, is “out” against LSU? BOBBY EHRLICH: It is to an extent. It’s weird though, because the way it ran last year with

[Dave] Aranda was that they never really had their linebackers set too much. They moved them around so much that it was difficult to figure out who was playing and who was starting at different times. Between [Chris] Orr and [Vince] Biegel and some of the other guys that they have, I don’t know

Who to look out for in LSU’s matchup vs. Wisconsin

BY JOSH THORNTON | @JoshuaThornton_

BART HOUSTON 6-foot-4 224 pounds Senior Dublin, California De La Salle High School

#13 Houston is a relatively inexperienced starter for the Badgers. In his career, Houston has only thrown 51 passes, 33 of which were against Illinois last season. The Badgers also used Houston as a punter four times in the 2014 season.

#47

VINCE BIEGEL 6-foot-4 246 pounds Senior Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin Lincoln High School

Biegel is already drawing the Tigers’ attention.

LSU coach Les Miles and junior running back Leonard Fournette called him a “talented” linebacker. Biegel is ranked second on the team in sacks (8) and tackles for loss (14) last season.

#6

COREY CLEMENT 5-foot-11 219 pounds Senior Glassboro, New Jersey Glassboro High School

Clement was in line for a breakout 2015 season, but hand and sports hernia injuries hampered him for most of the season. Back from injury, Clement could form a 1-2 punch with senior running back Dare Ogunbowale, who rushed for 819 yards last season.

LSU’s market ranked fifth nationally in new housing

BY TREY COUVILLION @trey_couv

The student housing market around the University is expecting a big year, according to Axiometrics, a corporation specializing in student housing research data.

The University’s market ranked fifth in bed spaces to be added for student housing properties.

This is the third highest year ever in new bed spaces nationwide, falling behind 2014 and 2013, according to Axiometrics data.

Senior Vice President of Analytics

2,319

for Axiometrics Jay Denton said in the 2016 report that even though the numbers are a little lower, the market remains steady.

“Though deliveries of new supply are not as high as they were a couple of years ago, demand remains strong, and students are generally absorbing the new beds,” Denton said in the report.

“One thing that differentiates student housing from conventional apartments is that the distribution of new supply can change dramatically year to year. As construction near one school meets the demand,

a building boom will begin in another university market.”

Student Housing Analytics Lead Taylor Gunn said the University is coming off a huge building boom in 2015. She said the effects will continue in 2016.

“I think LSU saw their boom last year,” Gunn said. “We’re still seeing, kind of, a carry-over from the boom.”

More than 60 percent of the existing off-campus supply in the University’s market has been delivered in the last five to six years alone. But that doesn’t necessarily

translate to success for the complexes, according to the report.

The influx of over 3,800 beds in the past two years added to the already saturated market.

From 2013 to 2016, July preleasing dropped 16.1 percent, from 93 to 76.9 percent, according to Axiometrics.

Gunn said this performance is typical with markets experiencing a high influx of new bed spaces.

“It’s not necessarily that there’s not a need for it,” Gunn said. “A market being able to handle that much new supply at the

same time.”

The swell in development dropped rent prices for the University’s market, Gunn said. Axiometrics reported the average monthly rent per bed at $595 for fall 2016, which is the lowest average for the University’s area in the last four years. Typically, the price of rent will go down as complexes struggle to fill up, Gunn said.

Biology sophomore Annie McGinnis took advantage of the low rate offered at a local complex, and said price was one of her main concerns.

Between the facility being brand new and the low rate, she said the choice was easy.

“I was looking for an apartment complex that wasn’t going to be way too overpriced,” McGinnis said.

The drop in rent price could continue into 2017, with over 700 beds projected to add to the University’s market next year, according to the report. But Gunn projects the building boom for Baton Rouge will be over soon, and the market should level out by 2018.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Understanding ISIS could be key to defeating them ALL’S NAIR IN LOVE AND WAR

ANJANA NAIR @anjanaaanair Terrorism is one of the greatest fears in our world today. It’s all we see on the news, and it’s only getting worse.

Many of us wonder: Where did this come from? How did we lose control so quickly?

In 2003, America made one of the worst foreign policy decisions in its history. Then-President George W. Bush sent troops into Iraq and overthrew Saddam Hussein’s government. He was unaware the world would still be dealing with the consequences of his actions more than 10 years later.

After Bush dismantled the Iraqi government, hundreds of thousands of Iraqi soldiers, simply peaceful protestors at the time, were suddenly unemployed, angry and without a place to

prosper in their own country.

Those same men are the insurgency that teamed up with Al-Qaeda to create the Islamic State of Iraq.

These are the men forgotten by the international community— and they happened to be fully armed and harboring a lot of rage.

Meanwhile, in Syria, Shia Islamists were using chemical weapons and bombs against their Sunni counterparts, leaving death and destruction in their wake.

The Islamic State of Iraq sent men to help the Sunnis fight against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime, establishing the Islamic State of Iraq in Syria.

Eventually, ISIS became so powerful that it provided infrastructure and supplies for Syrian citizens in the cities it captured. The Syrian government weakened until it was rendered essentially useless, and al-Assad couldn’t kick out the Islamic State fighters because his people needed the support.

It was easy for ISIS to take control of large pieces of the nation because Syrians were struggling and in need while the international community was idly standing by. People were dying, and it was our responsibility to help them.

We failed. ISIS stepped in.

So why can’t we stop ISIS? Why haven’t we stopped it?

ISIS’ goal is to unite the Middle East under Sunni rule, without any nation-state borders, and eventually root out any disbelievers of Islam in the world — and we gave them the arms to do it.

Many Americans don’t care to understand the purpose of a group that is killing their children and threatening their security.

Especially since the group claims to be Islamic, and our country has a deep-rooted bias against the Islamic community that dates to before 9/11.

There is an important distinction to be made though: ISIS is not a religious group. It is a terrorist

organization.

It does not belong to the peaceful ideology of Islam. The group believes it is doing God’s work and being faithful Muslims, but calling these men Muslims only heightens the group’s ego.

The reason ISIS has become one of the most powerful actors on the world stage is because its proponents live outside our international system.

ISIS doesn’t abide by anyone’s law but its own. It doesn’t have a heart or a conscience, only a goal.

We can’t bomb the group into having empathy for the people it is destroying. We provoked its hatred, and we abandoned its members.

They want what any group of people who have been disenfranchised want: for the world to pay attention. They want power.

We are treating ISIS as if it is any other terrorist group, but this is a new type of threat. These people hold territory, have an expansive and complex military

system, are self-funding and control entire infrastructures.

Fighting ISIS without being completely knowledgeable about its roots, goal and psychology will not work. Counterterrorism will not work.

We cannot fight ISIS in a global system it is not a part of. It will continuously have the upper hand.

The truth is, ISIS was born out of another misguided American attempt to improve the world.

The caliphate’s idea of making the world a better place is radically different than ours, but we must recognize its real purpose to create a real solution.

There is no justice in ISIS’ violence or our counterattacks. As Americans and as world leaders, it is our responsibility to understand the repercussions of every action we take and stop assuming we are never in the wrong.

punishment from Les. I’ve seen some say Lambeau is the NFL version of Tiger Stadium. Clearly, they’re excited about that.

LAMBEAU, from page 3 how much of a blow that it is going to be if they use a similar [defensive] scheme. I just don’t know how [Wisconsin defensive coordinator Justin] Wilcox is going to operate in terms of he’s not going to be the same as Aranda.

EHRLICH: You mentioned the coaching staff saying if LSU’s players ‘Lambeau leaped’ that they would get in trouble?

BOUTWELL: Yeah, I think Les may have given the guys an in-house punishment if they did it. Supposedly, to some of them, it’s not too bad and they’ll disobey it. The freshman, maybe not. I think it’s a dream of every football player to do that, though. If it’s a senior and he picks one off and takes it back, you can expect them to do it. This is the only time they’ll be at Lambeau Field in college.

BOUTWELL: Have Wisconsin’s players talked much about how different the defense is without Aranda? I know at LSU the players are always saying the defense, now, is “simpler” now with Aranda’s defense.

EHRLICH: That’s interesting. That surprises me though, because of how much Aranda mixes it up with the different packages. So that’s surprising. Wilcox is kind of similar to Aranda in the way he mixes it up a lot. The way he blitzes, those kind of things. But, [Wilcox] does a lot of straight 3-4 sets, too.

BOUTWELL: Well that brings up a good point, how ‘crazy’ was Aranda’s defense last year?

line. He was constantly moving the pieces. Maybe there’s more of a method to the madness, I guess.

BOUTWELL: About Bart Houston, a lot of LSU’s players are being asked how to prepare for a guy who hasn’t played much and has such little film to watch.

They say he can throw it, run it, so they have seen him play, clearly. But what are they watching, what has Bart done previously?

EHRLICH: I think [Wisconsin coach Paul] Chryst sees a lot of your typical Wisconsin quarterback in Bart Houston. He can handle himself well enough, first of all, to hand the ball off to the backs, and second of all, do well enough in play action to handle himself in the pocket and be a decent pocket passer. Now, is he going to be anything flashy? No. I think Chryst, though, thinks he’s the safe option since he’s been in the program for so long. He know Big Ten football,

he knows the big stage.

BOUTWELL: How much dual action (between Houston and freshman Alex Hornibrook) at quarterback should LSU expect to see?

EHRLICH: My guess is none. From everything I know about Chryst is he will pick a guy and stick with him. I would be surprised to see them both.”

EHRLICH: How do LSU’s players feel about coming up to Wisconsin and playing at Lambeau? Are they excited about that?

BOUTWELL: Oh, yeah. Tre’Davious White, one of LSU’s cornerbacks, said the farthest north he’s ever been was Arkansas before LSU played at Syracuse last season. A lot of guys are excited. Some of them have said if they score they’re going to do the ‘Lambeau Leap.’ I know Tre’ did. Some players though said they wouldn’t do it so they won’t get a penalty or a

BOUTWELL: We talked earlier about the inside linebackers, and about T.J., who’s going to fill his spot?

ERHLICH: Basically, I think you’ll see guys who will be rovers filling in the spot. Obviously, Chris Orr will be big for them. He played well in a spot role for them last year.

He didn’t get a ton of playing time last year because their linebacking corp was so good. That’s a guy to look for. Another guy is Biegel.

He’s a big time player, and he’s there when you need him. It’s definitely a loss, and is going to hurt.

But, they have enough depth that I think they’ll be OK.

BOUTWELL: At running back, I know Corey Clement is coming back from an injury. Is he ready to go, is he back, starting?

EHRLICH: Yeah, he’s good. He’s going to be the premier back. He had a really rough year last year.

The injury was bad. He actually went overseas to get surgery because they have one of the best doctors over there (in Germany).

He came back, they thought he was going to come back and play. He did, came back for one game and looked great. Then he re-aggravated his injury. Now, he’s doing a lot better from what I’ve heard.

EHRLICH: In my general opinion, if the LSU defense can shut down the run, it’ll be a rough day for Wisconsin. Houston can be effective, but maybe not to lead an offense. He needs the running backs to lead the offense. I think they’re similar teams, but I think LSU’s just going to be better.

BOUTWELL: I think Leonard and LSU’s offensive line will be too much, they’re just giant guys.

I think 34-14, 34-17, I’m not

Prediction Ehrlich: 28-17 - LSU Boutwell: 34-17 - LSU
