The athletic director knows very little about building a basketball roster. He knows this. His job is to judge Shaka on the results - which is very easy to do. Despite what Shaka says about victories, he actually has to win basketball games.

Quote from: cheebs09 on Today at 07:12:26 AMI think they need to start Parham and have Hamilton be the backup to Ben. I just don't think that two big lineup is working.

Ya...I've stated this since like the 2nd game.  I understand the concern on the glass, but we can't guard with 2 bigs on the floor.  Ben can occasionally defend the paint, that's about it.  All three struggle mightily with individual and help defense.

Quote from: Mu8891 on Today at 06:52:30 AMI think ( almost ) everyone agrees that
Hamilton can't cut it in the BE. He is averaging about 5 pts and 3 rbs, but gets just killed out there.  Turnovers, lose w / the ball etc etc

Here's a specific alternative...

Jermichal Stillwell. Stillwell was at UWM and is now at UCF ( of the B12 ). He's
6'9" about 225.  At UCF this year he's averaging 12pts / 9 rebounds per game.
Having seen him play , he's a force.

I'm pretty sure Shaka could have kept him in MKE with any effort... instead, we have
Hamilton and Clark

What is it ?  Did Shaka not seen how woeful his front court is?  Does he want to continue to use his full array of pedantic and silly acronyms?  I don't get it ...

...but do we have the financial resources which I believe is the primary reason for RGV. Even if we get a decent transfer that is no guarantee of success. The dream of a MU Natty is pretty much out of reach unless we have a sugar donor to pony up and compete for top athletes.

Our AD is pretty bad at this crap

Quote from: The Sultan on Today at 07:37:30 AMSome of these takes are something....

There is zero chance the athletic director is going to tell the head coach how to build his roster. That doesn't happen anywhere.

Then I guess we're more f*cked than I thought.

It's probably Ben Gold. 

Lol

Lol. This dude is doing his best to fill in for the dentists.

Quote from: Big Papi on December 02, 2025, 10:52:50 PMI would take Pettigrew through the portal.  Best player on the floor tonight before his lower leg issue.  Nice size and good post scoring.

We lose this game if Pettigrew didn't get hurt.  Hard to wrap my head around this debacle. 

Quote from: Stretchdeltsig on Today at 06:45:16 AMIts disappointing that Jones is injury prone. Expected him to be a star, leading the team this year. It's sad that he doesn't play.

Yeah, I doubt that was going to be the case.

the wife is gone on a work trip so I've been watching America's Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys. I had no idea what a complete dick Aikman became and how he tried to undermine Switzer. Getting into the good stuff now.
