So what are the facts, JB?

First three games of the year were his three lowest minute games. And the only games not starting this year. Shaka needed some help figuring it out, but it's been a good ride since.

However... vs. Tier A:
Nigel 97 ORtg, 50.5% eFG%, 22% to rate .

Jesus' teams always got called for traveling on water.

Quote from: brewcity77 on February 16, 2026, 10:39:56 AMFeels like there are two truths.

1) This team was ass in the first 2.5 months of the season and that level is unacceptable at Marquette, and if repeated would result in any coach getting fired, whether Shaka, Jesus Christ, or Al McGuire.

2) The team has been much better in the past month, even if the W/L column isn't stellar we've seen the best efforts including in losses, and there are legit pieces (NJ, Stevens, Royce) to build a winner around.

Neither of these should be controversial, but if a discussion can't start with those two irrefutable truths, it probably won't get far without devolving to dishonesty and name calling.

Sandwiching Jesus between Shaka and Al 😂

I'm sorry, I'll contact that organization and ask them to re-run the data to match your exact phrasing rather than this cut which gets to the essence of your question.
