'Shaka Smart-Reincarnation' tweets yea or nay?
All of Rothstein's bits are a nay. He's obnoxious.

He is, but he's good for the game.
And now this is available on his website. http://shop.collegehoopstoday.com/ (http://shop.collegehoopstoday.com/)
Death. Taxes. Lame tweets.
Umm .. I don't get the "reincarnation" bit. Explain?
I am assuming along the lines of Shaka's career arc being reborn at MU.

He's indicating that Shaka's career was dead at Texas and he's rising from the dead at Marquette, I assume. The Catholic school angle may be part of it too. I think it's a pretty bad one, even by Rothstein standards.
He's a good writer but tries way, way too hard on Twitter. Last night he got called out as he said Buffalo beat North Texas in a buy game ("the epitome of brutality") when that was actually a home-and-home deal between the schools. That and things like "more dialed in than an accountant in April" and College Park being "the spring break capital" are shtick.
Dude is an idiot
At least we know Shaka or his agent feeds Rothstein some insider info

A refreshing change from previous Buzz-Goodman, Crean-Katz pairings.

The most important question for a potential coach... Who's your access merchant of choice?
There's no one I hate follow more than Rothstein.

Then wouldn't resurrection make more sense?

Yes. But, as mentioned above, Rothstein is an idiot.

It would be wise of you all to view Rothstein as an ally. Like him or not, he has a decent following and him mentioning Marquette is good for our brand.

Ok, Mrs Rothstein
He's dumb
He's basically just a die hard fan message board poster type who ended up as a CBB desk host.
If you're looking for any sort of expert advice, he's absolutely not your guy. He's just a huge college basketball fan.

The personification of Scoop. No wonder it's love/hate.

I honestly think Rothstein is a fan of Jon Rothstein, CBB personality first, actual CBB second. Dude loves to hear himself talk and repeat his own corny catch phrases.

His following is no more significant than anyone else. He's not swinging recruiting battles. Marquette is in a top conference, with a big name coach who is known across the country, they aren't a plucky upstart who needs a media mention. They just need to win.

He's quick on the T9, Enya?
During the days of Kaminsky and Dekker, Rothstein raved about the Badgers and how amazing Bo Ryan was. Someone might have told him that he needs to chill on his love for Bo as Bo's wife would be mad and Jon should focus on his college basketball knowledge over his spray-tan.
It's been 5 or 6 years since he blocked me on Twitter, and I don't regret it one bit.

LOL! Attaboy!
It's a cool shirt. I ordered it. Jon's fine, Carrie's a huge presence.
