Let Shaka hand pick who he wants.  That relationship is all that matters.

Yes and no.  This is an important hire.  The ever-changing landscape demands someone that can navigate it.  It is not business as usual.

The relationship with Shaka will be paramount, but it can’t be the only factor.

Interestingly,

Acker in 2010 had an offensive rating of 117.1, 55.4% effective fg%, assist rate of 24.6 and TO rate of 15.4 and was 3rd in the nation in 3pt % (51-103).

Cubillan in 2010 had an offensive rating of 119.1, 59.5 effective fg%, 60% TS and shot 41% from 3.

In John Dawson’s last year at Liberty, he had an offensive rating of 92.1, solid 19.8 assist rate and shot 34% from 3.

Lol.  That is interesting.

Keep in mind, John Dawson saw almost no minutes on G League rosters stacked with guys like Cat Barger, Charles Cooke, Mangok Mathiang, Roscoe Smith, Sam Thompson, Luke Petrasek, Brent Arrington, Joe Chealey, Malik Pope, Jeff Roberson, Max Montana...you get the point.  Needless to say, the proof is unquestionable that Dawson was an all timer had Wojo not ran him off.

Bill Scholl did a great job. He’d be held in high esteem just for seeing Wojo’s limitations as a coach and canning him. He moved even higher by hiring Shaka. It’s been a rebirth of MU hoops. Thanks, Bill!

Thanks for the question Zach Galifianakis!

Yes.
