They'll just do blanket prepardons on the last day, and say Biden did it so why not them.

Accountability lies with the media too. We saw it the first time around where you attempt to both sides things and rehab someone's image because "you have to show the perspective".

So what incentive do you have to not be a screeching dipcrap if you know you will be presented with an opportunity to either rehab or represent it as the standard position

Interesting. I guess you're a lot more plugged in than the Big East coaches, who voted him to the all-conference team. Congrats!

Oh, I have low expectation they will be held accountable. The premise of the article is that until/unless it happens, we'll continue to be unnatural carnal knowledgeed.

For the love of god I hope someone has a five point plan

That's quite the take. This year, sure, but the last 3? 2 bids and a S16. You've also got a whole lot of "what if's" regarding additions. Maybe we have a special season, maybe it still ends with us shooting 13% from 3 against NCST.

Quote from: BM1090 on February 25, 2026, 11:38:48 AMI'd add Nova to that list. SJU/UConn are different animals.

Yeah.. with both CU and SH being weird-a$$ teams, I'd throw Nova in with them as a tier.  Decent chance against any of 'em.

I vehemently disagree that Shaka has not failed the MU program with his steadfast approach over the last 3-4 years. 
He clearly felt that bringing in anyone would destroy, apparently an incredibly fragile culture.  MU has brought in transfers, almost every year, for decades.  Supposedly, MU had a strong culture under O'neil, Crean, Buzz, etc.  Not sure how they were able to pull this off, while Shaka felt even one transfer would crumble what he had built.
During Kolek's final year MU was 1 player (PF) away from having possibly an all-time historic season.  Yet he refused to sign a rebounding big to help replace Omax.  A soft front line of Jop and Omax got repeatedly killed on the boards. 
Last year a player or two, in a ball handler and another big, could have made for a really really special season.  Instead it was an absolutely outmanned team with holes.
This year speaks for itself. 
Seems to me Shaka is OK with decent teams and afraid to ruffle anyone's feathers. 
There is no greater motivator than the bench. How motivated is the player that knows he will never be recruited over? Maybe growth would be increased with a little incoming motivation?
Shaka has failed greatly in the last 3 seasons in my book.

Randy Bennett:

12 NCAA Tourneys. Finished 1st or 2nd in 19 of 25 years.

He's coached in the WCC 36 out of the past 40 years. He hasn't lived in AZ in 44 years. In those 44 years, ASU has made the NCAA Tourney 8 times.

Bennett makes just under $2 million. Hurley makes $3.6 million total comp, 11 years into the job.

Bennett's contract is up next year. I expect to see another Bennett extension at St. Mary's, with raise and roster $ budget bump. I don't see him going to ASU or elsewhere. He has a good situation.
