Quote from: #UnleashNigel on Today at 09:29:29 AMThe money was there.... For a one time payoff, and even that took a couple years of wading through wojos crap.

This is now a pay that amount every year thing.

Correct. No idea who the guy is that claims the "money is there" but he is absolutely incorrect. We have resources for sure, but the dude has no idea what the budget actually is.

Well Dayton does suck, we just suck worse.

Quote from: mileskishnish72 on November 19, 2025, 09:18:40 PMWillie??? What about Fieldhouse? For all the pithy "Dayton sucks" entries on this board, look at our recent record vs. them. Need to take a real look at who sucks.

Quote from: Elonsmusk on Today at 09:47:50 AMAnd WTF was Shaka supposed to do second half of last season?  Go to the portal?  (Which is the end all be all solution for all of you hating on Shaka and our program at present.)

Though it may seem highly unlikely, could it not be possible that this year is the exact inverse of last year?  Where this team starts like crap, but finishes strong?  Last year Scoopers were riding high after Maryland, Purdue and Wisconsin last - did we see the 5 and 8 finish happening in the last 13 games of the year?  Probably not.  I'm hopeful this year could be the inverse despite the early evidence not looking good.

And, if we miss the NCAA this year, I'll still be 100% behind Shaka and the guys on the team - they are winners and will get it turned around.

Absolutely horrendous roster construction last year/this year led to zero flexibility on helping improve the roster. Carrying Amadou, Clark and Hamilton last year was criminal and a disservice to the talent we carried last year.

This year more of the same

Quote from: WhiteTrash on Today at 01:05:55 PMBesides flying in the face of your assertion that Shaka was using the media to build up the confidence of his own players, if what you say is true, then Rothstein isn't the issue, Shaka is by not giving truthful answers. Rothstein would be the bad actor if he twisted Shaka's words.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHWHAHAHWHAHAHWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *catches breath* BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHWHWHWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Guyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyys, Rothstein doesn't have to talk to the head coach to get a quote like that.

Quote from: wadesworld on Today at 12:58:23 PMMaybe we just don't take what people are telling John Rothstein as Gospel.  He was trying to interview Shaka after one of the games Kolek didn't play in late in the 2023-2024 season and Shaka opened it up by saying, "Are you going to ask me if Kolek will be playing like you do every morning?"  Clearly Shaka isn't giving John Rothstein real inside information on our program.

Quote from: CountryRoads on Today at 12:35:17 PMWatched that play several times now and I thought Dayton's coverage was actually pretty solid. I think our best bet was for Ross to just step into that 24 footer on the wing and either just shoot it or at least get the defender to commit to him which would have left Nigel wide open in the corner.

Oh, it was great defense, no doubt, but if Chase is going to go that far, just take the shot.  If they block it, whatever.  If he misses, whatever.  But he could also get fouled, or it goes in, or there is a put back at the buzzer.

The absolute worst thing that could happen, did happen... well outside of Chase passing to a Flyer for a run out dunk.

As America wantonly kills Venezuelans, we need to get the talking points straight for why war crimes are ok

Quote from: CountryRoads on Today at 12:52:37 PMWhat's odd is that Rothstein tweeted the exact same thing about Hamilton the year before as well. "Practice player" is a real thing.
