Zaide Didn’t Travel With Team

[CountryRoads]

From the press conference:

Q: why was Zaide not here?
Shaka: personal reasons.

Q: is he suspended?
Shaka: no.

Q: is he leaving?
Shaka: no.

But they didn't play for other teams with other coaches. The idea that Kolek, Oso, and OMax were NBA players when they arrived at Marquette is so far from reality it's incredible.

Wades, they had the talent. Any number of coaches would have gotten them there in two to three years.  Shaka did it. He should get some credit for that.  But the players are the main reason they got to the NBA. Shaka will get more talent to the NBA when he recruits NBA talent.  But you either have it or you don't.  Shaka can't make a diamond from coal.

Shaka can't make a diamond from coal.

He thinks he can and that's evidenced by his obsession with Hamilton.

The reason behind this is that Zaide had an argument with Shaka about Caedin Hamilton still starting. Shaka in return benched Zaide.
Zaide will be transferring

Do you find ludicrous troll accounts interesting?

The troll comment about this being about Hamilton not starting is not true at all. Zaide isn't "all in" right now and the staff got wind he might be transferring thus leading to them telling him not to travel with the team. They are gonna reevaluate his status after the weekend but I assume he is gone.

Pretty sure all of those guys would give Shaka and staff high marks as a coaching staff and their role in their development.

Current squad is a trainwreck and seems the coaching staff is also wrecked on how to fix it, but to try to discredit the development of Kam, Kolek, Oso, OMax is disingenuous. 

[Shooter McGavin]

This is a wild statement. You basically disqualified everyone who made huge leaps under Shaka because they went onto the NBA. Kinda crazy.

Yep.  Have to have the talent first.  Lots of coaches out there who would have loved to develop Oso, Kolek, Omax and Kam.  He did not screw it up. I'll give you that.  He did a good job.  Coaching is important. But not more important than talent.  Getting a team to play cohesively is important.  Definitely helps guys get to the next level when there is team success.

Bye Bye. Has done nothing all season.
