Saw a hilarious news article "click bait" title from the Texas 247 message board (popped up on my FB feed, I guess because I read their board recently). Entitled "Marquette students flee after Shaka Smart hire".

Had to click on it to see what it was about, apparently simply Cain and McEwen entering the transfer portal.

Seems like they are doing everything they can to manipulate the narrative here.

It was also on UW rivals. Made me laugh

Or Moser

Gates would be more worrisome if he got things rolling, IMO. If Moser leaves, I’ll be surprised if it’s for DePaul

Utah St went from winning coach to mediocre coach to a winning coach in Smith now looking to reverse right back

I feel bad for Utah St fans. They don’t deserve that.

Am happy and thrilled and it is awesome Marquette got Shaka but Jon Rothstein just said live a few seconds ago on cbs sports network television the Job Porter Moser really coveted was the Marquette Job.

All the more reason I'm glad this got done Friday. While I think Moser could've done fine eventually, I think Shaka is the better hire both for the short term and the long term.

Looking how Indiana and DePaul are managing their coaching searches, I am grateful how competently and professional Scholl ran Marquette’s.

Both fired their coaches days before MU, both have been spurned by their supposed top choices, and both are still looking. Meanwhile Scholl went from firing Wojo to hiring Shaka in a week’s time.

Mike Woodson is such an uninspiring hire for IU, good lord.

MU82 · « **Reply #785 on:** March 28, 2021, 02:38:00 PM »

So much for Marquette and Indiana going toe-to-toe for Moser.

DegenerateDish · « **Reply #786 on:** March 28, 2021, 02:38:12 PM »

Anytime you can hire a 60 year old head coach with zero college experience at a blue blood school, that just paid $10 mil to dump the last coach...ya gotta do it.

DegenerateDish · « **Reply #787 on:** March 28, 2021, 02:41:00 PM »

Now this is interesting...Thad Matta is going to be basketball czar at IU under Woodson.

But you have to ignore all of that as he has the most important quality: he played for Bob Knight.

Is that real or was somebody trolling IU boards?

A throwback to Knight for the old Hoosier faithful.

I’m not even sure the old Hoosier faithful think this a good idea.

They are...underwhelmed. But the Matta thing is real after all.

So they are hiring a guy to help Woodson because he has no college coaching network and probably only a vague idea of how modern college recruiting works.

Mike Woodson ??

Good lord.. lol ... 63 years old, no
college experience. Seems like a
terrible choice

( hope it is )

cheebs09 · « **Reply #795 on:** March 28, 2021, 02:48:30 PM »

Well, they got an NBA coach. Just not the one they were hoping for.

He’s going to be an associate AD. Not sure how much actual help he will be able to give

So Indiana passed on Beilein, missed on Matta and Moser, and settled on a 63-year-old who is 50 games below .500, was fired from both his head coaching jobs, and has never recruited before?

Yeah...we won the Coaching Carousel.

Technically they also got Matta.
