Shaka Smart is Marquette's New Basketball Coach

[Avenue Commons]

Serious Question: Was Shaka just "on the hot seat" at Texas or did he pick up a guy without a gig? There's a big difference to me.

So this is what a coaching search should look like and not that sh!t show that was 7 years ago huh?

I like Moser a lot, but I trust Scholl to hire a good coach like he did with Duffy and Theis.

[MarquetteVol]

Not excited about this hire at all. Wish we could have gotten Moser or Grant.

Ulysses? The general?

I wish Shaka all of the best to accomplish high levels of long term success at MUBB.

Time to the hit the road and recruit some players. Great hire and very fired up on the quick hire by MU.

first, re-recruit Garcia and Lewis

[Warrior2008]

Buzz to TX?

TX and OK are both open.  Buzz has gotta be making some calls.

Am out of the Bunker Congratulations Awesome

[MarquetteMike1977]

Am sure people on here are asking will David Joplin follow guess here is yes.

[JustinLewisFanClubPres]

Waiting on the press conference but I am soooooooo pumped about Shaka. I believe he can build a brand within our culture that surpasses Buzz's accomplishments. He is a home run hire to me and I think will be a great representative of MU.

[MarquetteMike1977]

Me too am pumped about Shaka. Spoke with David Joplin in October. No idea if he follows but hope he does.

Alright
Alright
Alright

Everything's coming up Milhouse.

Zig,

I smell a Meat Summit in the offing. A great hire by MU deserves a convocation built around aged beef. And single malt.
