Quote from: panda on Today at 07:37:17 AMIn most other cases, yes. Give him another season as he's earned it through his previous body of work.

However - this performance is so egregious, and about two years of horrendous decision making that it is unforgivable. Marquette should never, ever have a season like this and it is completely within bounds to terminate him following the ineptitude.

He ignored a major roster building opportunity which led to a collapse last year and the worst season in modern Marquette basketball history this year. Next year doesn't look much better *barring major roster overhaul.

bad take

Quote from: Vander Blue Man Group on January 01, 2026, 11:11:23 PMIt's completely possible and rational to believe this season is grossly unacceptable AND that he deserves the opportunity to fix it.

Quote from: Vander Blue Man Group on January 01, 2026, 11:08:49 PMThat's an unrealistic and unnecessary overreaction. 

Why ? This team is an abomination

Quote from: Pakuni on January 01, 2026, 09:45:14 PMShaka is not a "scapegoat." That would imply he's being unfairly blamed. In this case, the blame is entirely justified. He assembled this team and coached them to the players they are today.

As for Nash Walker ... have we learned nothing from counting on big contributions from unknown recruits? Hoping for the best, but he's more likely to be the next Niv Berkowitz or Harry Froling than an impact player.
Phillips and Miletic can't get on the court (literally, in one case) on a team entirely bereft of shooting, so who knows what to expect there.

Especially for a kid that is trending in this direction.

We won't know what we have in him until he plays meaningful minutes next year.

Quote from: Biggie Clausen on January 01, 2026, 10:29:27 PMSometimes, a coach will luck out with one player.  Dwyane Wade made Tom Crean's whole career.  That Big East Championship, BET title, and consecutive 2 seeds?  Years from now, especially if he gets his chance to shine in the NBA, I think history will show that Tyler Kolek was the driving force for all of MU's success during those two seasons, not Shaka.  For the sake of MU fans, hopefully that doesn't prove true.



Won two BET games without him and reached a final, which has only happened twice in 19 MU BETs. He was really good, the team around him was also really good.

From winning the Big East regular sesson and tourney titles to possibly winless in conference just 3 years later.    That's even worse than one can imagine - thanks for pointing that out. 


Quote from: wadesworld on January 01, 2026, 11:48:59 PMBuddy wants to say we can't ignore what happened 11-14 years ago, but then wants to ignore what happened 18 months ago because we have an "incompetent" coach (who has coached in a Final Four and won a Big East regular season and Tournament title in the last 3 years).
