The guy would tell me he thinks it's probably going to be announced tomorrow and that we were right about the whole president timeline being bumped forward to make the hire the president's thing.

So it has been said that the pres hire was for SS for his comfort of sorts... So...
Who is it not, so we can speculate half as wildly? Anyone have a gif of Ron Paul acting somewhat crazily?

We called Ben and his price was really high. We reasoned "hell, if we're shelling out that kind of money, might as well roll the dice on Shaka."

Lol. I don't know what to think about all of this. Sadly, I think if a hire has actually been made, then I don't think it's Shaka. From what we've heard, the guy is crazy meticulous. I'd have to think that he would at least sleep on it. But honestly, even that doesn't give me much hope.
Hopefully Lovell inbounds to the right guy and the drawn up play actually works for once this season.

Shaka or no Shaka why would I do touchdown dance? I have nothing in this game more than anyone on here. If I happen to be right, really who cares? This is about MU, both the university and the basketball program.
I an assure you that everything I have posted was to share info I had and nothing else. My posts might indicate I have way too much time on my hands, but actually quite the opposite. My hope is that MU delivers the goods and we all enjoy it.
Final word on topic, if it ends up not being Shaka such is life. Everything I have posted has been as factual and honest as I could be without being over the top. Who knows, maybe the new President is the real IMPACT HIRE?

Eldon, doesn't it sound like they were scheduling the presser for 2pm tomorrow to get SS to make a decision? If so, why wouldn't you think it was him? I guess on the flip side if they set an original deadline for him to respond by 3pm this afternoon, they may have acted on BH (or whomever) right after that.

Piper, you did good, but made two crucial errors. One was saying it was not one candidate who you knew and the other was the source of the info. You remedied the source aspect, but the bigger problem was advising the non-identity of the losing candidate. If you had just said a hire is going to happen tomm, for sure, I know it, etc., all would have been fine.

Question for Richard Shaw...I think both you and goose mentioned we contacted Cuonzo today. Is it possible we contacted him saying "we regret to inform you that you have not been selected..."?
Martin seems to fit the profile of the mystery contact from a few days back for a guy fed up with an overbearing football program taking bball resources. if we hired someone already I doubt it would be a guy still coaching his team.

4 days. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday... Well Monday was two days ago. At the very least you need to know how to count to troll.
Shaka race is not over.

Goodman disagrees, but who is he?
Please show us where he says Shaka ever spoke to them. It says Maruqette and Wake called VCU which they did. Shaka hung up the phone. What a disaster for your program.

Question for Richard Shaw...I think both you and goose mentioned we contacted Cuonzo today. Is it possible we contacted him saying "we regret to inform you that you have not been selected..."?
Martin seems to fit the profile of the mystery contact from a few days back for a guy fed up with an overbearing football program taking bball resources. if we hired someone already I doubt it would be a guy still coaching his team.
Sure hope so. My gut was to inform him that he should know that MU took a "serious" look, bla bla bla. But I don't know chit other than we contacted him.

Funny thing is "3 days" later you are still posting incomplete sentences and trolling. Go stake out in front of Shaka's house or something to feed your obsession.

You're wrong about that. Not defending the done deal, but he did listen to people on the board. Most notably Doc Rivers, whom he's friends with. So get off your high horse and quit acting like VCU is Duke.

If he's not just being goofy I'd venture to guess he's mentioning something about the rumored home and home that has to be played as part of Shaka's buyout. Then again, I'm drunk...on a Wednesday.

Piper.... Is it possible your source is trolling you?
The reason I ask is that - God's honest truth here - several senior people in the MU admin, individuals who one would expect would be made aware of news like this for strategic purposes no less, were not made aware of Lovell's hiring until they got to work this morning.
With the debacle that ensued on Monday, I find it incredulous that your source, with the standing he/she has, is a) actually in or on the fringe of the know and b) is brazen enough to be putting said standing at risk by leaking what he/she knows.

Just my take, but it's pretty clear who it's not. I want Shaka too, and I hope to God that Goose is right, but seems pretty clear that if Piper's source is correct, he's saying it's not Shaka.
IF Goose is right, and the Shaka race is not over, my theory is that the announcement tomorrow is to make it seem like we're ready to name somebody so that Shaka makes his decision one way or another so we can move on if necessary.
I've got it...
- MU tells BH they are interested but must announce the pres before committing to anything. Asks for his "Patiece" and to respect the process.
- MU pushes the announcement of the pres up. This was done for three reasons. 1. To validate their response to BH. 2. To buy time for negotiation with Shaka without making BH feel like a secondary option. 3. To ease whatever concern Shaka (may have) had regarding the lack of permanent leadership.
- My guess (and hope) is that Shaka has until tomorrow afternoon to make up his mind. As many of you have suggested, I feel the presser was scheduled as a place holder and a way to show Shaka that a firm deadline has been set. If he decides to come to MU, the purpose of the presser will be changed. If he turns down MU, the presser will be used to debunk the Shaka rumors and put the nonsense to bed.

Honestly I'm not doubting that it's possible.

I was never contacted, so I can say it is not me. Were any of the other expert coaches on this board contacted?
I can definitively state that the administration was not impressed with my mixed tape of the rotary soccer team I coached. So I'm out.
Piper got some bad info, and there was no hire made as of this morning. Not his fault, the rumors are crazy with these searches.
RTP and all that.
I was a long time poster on the Rivals board before the "split" and have been out of the Marquette message board game so to speak for a while. Kids and career will do that to you. This whole coach search has pulled me back in and it's been very entertaining. The GIFs are incredible.
Anyways, I keep seeing people refer to their "source" as to what they heard. I just want to say that a "Source" in a journalistic sense is not your roommate, or a poster on a message board, or a friend, or a neighbor, or someone you overheard on the bus to work.
A "Source" is someone who you know has 1) direct inside knowledge not generally available to the public and 2) is someone whose credibility you can vouch for if questioned. In other words, reading something on someone else's message board or on Twitter does not give you a "source." I think part of the confusion is people post that they have a "Source" saying XYZ, and people infer that means someone who is truly a "Source" when it really means some random person. So if your "source" is just some random person, maybe just say "your heard......"
Lecture over. Hope this ends soon and favorably. Ring Out Ahoya.

Who or what is your source for this info?
Quote from: PunchingPiper on March 27, 2014, 10:28:26 AM
Only reporting what I had heard. Don't doubt there's people more connected than me with better info.
That my head hurts and I have conflicting info now. But yesterday was the last time I share info I don't need all the grief that comes with it
Too many dick pics to sort through, huh?
Send 'em reinko's way. He is a specialist.

Son, I'll have you know that I know how to operate a Tandy 1000 and an Apple II, so saves your jokes for someone else.

Just saw Shaka here on campus at VCU. Don't worry. I'm sure he's cleaning out his office as we speak.

Well Buzz was here apparently when he agreed to go to VTech. So where he is doesn't really matter.
Im convinced all the VCU posters are the same person. Care to leave your mothers basement every once in a while?

I never promised it would come out today. I also said in this thread I was suddenly getting conflicting reports. Don't shoot the messenger.
Safe to say, the word "source" is taboo here for the foreseeable future.

Different suggestion....don't be the messenger, when the message is nonsense. BTW, in this case, you weren't just the messenger, you chose the message.
That hire sucked.

I had info thought I'd share it not going to apologize for that. At least I made an effort to inform as opposed to the nonsensical speculations 90% of this board has become
The question is what did you really even pass on? "They hired someone but I don't know who, they aren't hiring someone and I can't say who." The only thing you did disclose was the source which no one cares about. You basically should have posted " I think I know something you don't know, na na na na.

It's one thing to "share" in a reserved fashion such as "I've heard that we made a hire, though haven't seen the contract myself," NOT a sensational "A Hire Has Been Made!!!"
Has "Done Deal" taught us nothing, people?

You didn't do anything wrong by telling us what you heard. Everyone who chose to believe a random student source on an internet message board only have themselves to blame for any disappointment.

In all fairness it's not like I went into the AMU and asked some random person I figured he had enough access to have some credible info

Fair enough, but to all of us he might as well be some dude in the AMU. We would be dumb to just trust that a student you talked to was connected enough to confirm that someone was hired when all those known to have actual source within the administration, BoT, athletic department heard nothing.

Perhaps when I said hired I wasn't using the proper word as what he said was "we've got someone" I just figured that saying hired would get people a little more excited.
