Do you think any delay is due to respect for Buzz (his press conference is going on right now)?

A school athletics official is on record saying there's no announcment.  So no.

I'm hearing rumors that MU administration is seriously bungling this.
Not even rumors anymore...documented proof.

I'll say it again. If this is true, when the story breaks, there will be news from the VCU side first.  At least of a player meeting being called, etc.  

VCU and Richmond are not big places, someone will know if he hops a plane to MKE as well.

yeah, watch us screw this up and end up with wardle

Another slam at Wardle.  What did he do to deserve such scorn among the MU fanbase?

If Wardle and Smart had the same players, Wardle's team would win due to his superior in-game coaching.

We all love Wardle, just not now.  Maybe in a few years.  If we get Ben, I'd love to see him as an assistant who takes over when Ben is done.

...But Wardle can't recruit Shaka's players. That is kind of the point. Bringing Shaka in is a lot bigger that getting a young guy that can coach.

Well you've posted this too much for me to ignore so I'm going back to my original position; I'll be ecstatic with either Shaka or Howland

Wardle's not nearly as good as Howland or Smart. That simple.

A Wardle hire is settling. Period.

A friend in Chicago texted me and said they were reporting it on ESPN Radio.  But WISN apparently was Tweeting it would be announced in an hour 2 hours ago, so...

No. He said WISN12 was reporting it.

This. It's nothing personal. But let the guy establish himself (or not establish himself) as a consistent winner in the Horizon League before giving him the keys to a $15 million program.

Wardle isn't tested like smart has been, and isnt nearly as big of a recruiter.

We like Wardle, but we don't want him as a coach as it is a complete step down.

Could Shaka Smart Be the Next Coach of Marquette?

24MAR
Could VCU’s Shaka Smart be the next head coach at Marquette?  Some think it is likely, which is surprising considering Smart passed on openings at Illinois and UCLA among others.

The Golden Eagles have an opening because long-time coach Buzz Williams left for Virginia Tech.

Reached for comment SID Scott Day declined to comment saying, “we have no comment at this time.”  Read that however you like, perhaps it says a lot.

We have been unable to reach Marquette for comment.

Stay tuned.

It's so convenient that the discussion just dies down after the work day.
I would take the Rick SLU program right now.
