Really well deserved. He's brought me back to being absolutely amped about Marquette basketball. Love our coach and where he's taking us.

Post by: dw3dw3dw3 on March 22, 2023, 09:29:29 PM: With Cooley's contract getting reported as around 6M. He has to be getting an extension/raise to make him the highest paid in the BEast at least right?
Title: Re: Shaka Named USBWA COY!
Post by: GoldenEagles03 on March 28, 2023, 10:07:41 AM: Shaka adds another Coach of the Year Award! This time from the Coaches Vote.

Will he get the clean sweep with the Naismith too? He should!

But make no mistake about this.......we need to increase our level of violence and play to our ceiling the entire 23-24 season and especially in the 2024 NCAA tournament. Embrace being the hunted, take no prisoners, and focus for our entire 40 game schedule.

Muggsy, I think you could've stopped after "Shaka deserves NCOY".

Yup! And they'll totally disregard his tournament win this year because "they were a 2 seed that beat a 15" and also throw away his Final Four run because it was "lucky".

People are obsessed with hating.
