It is about as official as it can possibly get folks. Shaka Smart will be the next men's basketball coach at Marquette Univ.

Infuriatingly awesome.

D1 Circuit just tweeted Shaka Smart new Head coach Marquette. They seem legit.

Again when this is announced will I get a star upgrade or what I need something for breaking the news first with CREDIBLE sources...

Per sources close to Marquette, Shaka Smart is expected to be announced as new men's hoops coach in 5 min. Press conference will come later.

If you want stars just post a bunch of times.  They're real easy to get.  I got 5 in only like 7 years.

I'm thinking 2 star upgrade  

[BallOccasionallyLies]

Anyone know if a news conference is actually taking place in one minute?

For people to understand how Smart to Marquette came about they need to know who the key players were. 2 names: Doc Rivers, Dick Strong.

Really hoping this is real he was always my number one.

Re-retire Doc's number, and make an honorary Dick Strong jersey and hang in the rafters.  God Bless!

It seems Unofficial right now I guess:Trolls.

AWESOME if it is true ....it will keep the MU job as a major destination for coaches and players going strong....

A 6 year window will open if he is hired...let go! Every player should return if this is the case. That would make a mistake.

Now if Shaka retains assistant Issac Chew I am all good about teams future. He would be up next with Brian Wardle...down the road.

But lets enjoy the now. Great news when or if it happens. A Golden Brand Hire.

this, i think, was the announcement...

I shared with media there wasn't 5 p.m. presser, at 5:01 p.m., because until that point no member of the media had asked me. #mubb

Would be nice if we got him. Sounds right now like VCU is countering. My guess is he stays. Another Prima Donna?

[tower912]

Everybody take a deep breath.   Hold it.   Let it out slowly.   Back away from your keyboards.    Chillax.   There will be a new coach at MU.   Eventually.  

[GOO]

Ummm.... did MU think they had an announcement and now don't?  

Still doesn't make sense, as news would come out of VCU first.

[Wisco]

Welp

[sarcastro]

Seriously...comedysportz is performing at the team banquet?  unnatural carnal knowledge that hack bullcrap.

Maybe VCU sweetening pot at last minute?

And cold feet does happen...

Someone may have told the press that there was an announcement but it wasn't the athletic department

[Boozemon Barro]

So did some student reporter just say there was an announcement at 5 and everyone just ran with it?
