Do you have a threshold for showing Shaka the door in March?

No. None. You're overreacting and insane. He took us to a S16 FFS! A S16!!!

Quote from: MU82 on Today at 01:26:35 PMYes, it definitely is worse than a run-of-the-mill "bad season." Not sure how anybody could define it as anything other than a sports disaster.

OTOH, unlike Kyle Neptune at Nova, Shaka delivered a significant amount of good before this sports disaster, so to many folks there's at least some room for nuance.

I would define it as a Gargantuan/🦣"sports disaster".  There's no other way to see it.  Pushing #200 NET?  Cannot Happen at Marquette.  We must respond from this debacle as quickly as humanly possible.

I agree the Neptune comparison was not apples to apples. He was just someone who jumped to mind as being universally perceived as in over his head in the BE as a coach, but was never this year's MU bad.

Aside from the 'just bad' or 'disaster' season debate, the bigger question in my head is how did Shaka get here? I follow the logic of Shaka being arrogant or so fully convinced that his system would work, but it still seems unlikely for such a successful, experienced and intelligent coach.

Some of the reasons put forth would make sense if Shaka was in his 5th year of being a HC, but that dismisses all his accomplishments. I'm probably wrong, but I still think something else is going on.

We - as in Scoopers - have responded. Quickly and forcefully. Over and over again. Such as ...
