What's really cute is watching a bunch of Pro Wojoers dance around when being held accountable.  The enabling, group horde, mentality on here is hilarious. I honestly will miss the lame Kenpom stats cited in support of Wojo.

Who are you holding accountable and how are you doing so?

No one thinks they read this nonsense. It's more so just sending out {{vibez}} of gratitude

I like positive energy. MUScoop should brand some crystals and dream catchers for sale at the Fiserv giftshop and the Golden Eagle Shoppe.

Sorry, but I can't congratulate anyone until Shaka has had success.  You put us in this mess to begin with.....now get us out. 

Also.... You missed out on Wisconsin Native Nate Oats

It's really cute that anyone thinks Scholl or Lovell read MUScoop.

Great post. I really am excited about the buzz this hire has created. You have been a fan a long time and I hope Shaka's full court press brings back some memories. A great day to be a Warrior fan.

Yeah, the only downside is that Shaka's contract did not insist we change our mascot back to warriors.

They can by Gold at this moment. Just get the full court press ready to rumble.

If only they had called for Wojo's departure years ago......

I was one of the most vocal Nojo-ers on here, but now that we've made an exciting hire, I think it's time to forgive and forget all the slurping that went on here the past few years, and just move forward.

Scholl and Lovell did the right thing at the right time, and as MU82 mentioned in another thread, they showed no loyalty to Wojo despite his being here seven years.  When it was absolutely, 100% clear to even the most staunch Wojo supporters that he wasn't getting the job done, they showed his sorry ass the door.  Took a dump on his forehead first and showed his sorry ass the door.  They behaved like big time college athletics leadership should, and for that, we should all breath a sigh of relief and be thankful.  And I'll stand by that even if Shaka doesn't work out.

Should have done it sooner.  Maybe they waited for the right time so they could make the right hire.  If Wojo was a placeholder until "the right guy" hit the market then it's a damn fine move.  I'm definitely curious to know if they ever offered anyone else first via backchannel.  Regardless, I'm ok with the hire.  Shaka is better, but he's still missing "it".  Hopefully, he can find that missing factor while at MU.

Big hire - big commitment - while his Texas time was at an end this is NOT some dime a dozen coach - this is a p6 .660 winning percentage final four guy with local ties - and a no doubt upgrade - great work

I'm curious if anyone can spill who is actually the reason this came together. Is it a small group or an individual?

Ahhh..finally a change.         Like Stretch....I remember back in the 60's ,   I grew up hunched over the radio at night trying to pick up the MU games, whenever the Milw radio channel could get thru to Depere.   Normally, it was full of static and faded in and out.    But, I enjoyed the excitement throughout the years,... however the past few have been most disappointing.    It certainly was time to restore Marquette basketball...shucks now that I am in 80's, probably just a few more years of enjoyment.

Thanks, Bill, and Dr Lovell.

Official statement from President Lovell:


Welcome Home, Shaka Smart

Dear Marquette alumni, parents and friends,

I am writing to make sure you have heard the exciting news that earlier today, we officially announced our new head men's basketball coach, Shaka Smart. I am so excited for Shaka to lead our celebrated men's basketball program, and I look forward to supporting him for many successful seasons as a Golden Eagle. I wanted to write you personally to share some additional details about this historic hire for our program.

Shaka, 43, brings to us 12 years of experience as a head coach at The University of Texas (2015-2021) and Virginia Commonwealth University (2009-2015). In 12 seasons as a head coach, Shaka guided the two programs to a total of eight NCAA Tournament appearances. Those trips were highlighted by a run from the First Four to the Final Four by VCU in 2011.

You can find the official news release at gomarquette.com.

Shaka will be the first person of color to lead our program, and is a true role model for our student-athletes. I've had several conversations with Shaka in the past few days and I know he will be a results-focused coach and recruiter, and also a strong advocate for our Catholic, Jesuit mission. What has impressed me most is that he is interested in being a leader beyond basketball. Shaka is a Wisconsin native and both he and his wife Maya want to make a positive impact on our Marquette and Milwaukee communities. We are excited to welcome Shaka, Maya and their daughter Zora to the Marquette family.

Shaka has proven himself to be an experienced, talented coach who can perform at the highest level of men's collegiate basketball, and I have no doubt he will lead our student-athletes to success on and off the court.

The search team considered and is thankful for the thoughtful input from a number of coaches, former players and those close to college basketball. I want to thank Vice President and Director of Athletics Bill Scholl and his staff for leading the search and recruiting such a respected coach and leader.

I know you will share my enthusiasm as we look ahead to our next chapter of men's basketball under the leadership of Head Coach Shaka Smart.

Sincerely,
President Lovell's Signature

Dr. Michael R. Lovell
President, Marquette University
