I think one of the more interesting points with Shaka at Texas is that he really hasn't attempted to duplicate "Havoc" with Texas' players.  He has really adapted his playing style to the more elite players that he is now able to recruit and attract. 

In comparison, Wojo has - in my opinion - really attempted to duplicate and translate the Duke style of play at Marquette (and still is, IMO). 

I fairly confident that if Shaka was hired at MU, and he moved away from Havoc, and he struggled, the response to Shaka would have been to the same to Wojo.  Winning solves everything.

Superb point.

Shaka's first five years were at best only as good as Wojo's first five at Marquette, probably not even quite as good.

But Year 6 could be the separator. While Wojo would have gotten us back to the NCAA, we would have limped in despite another late-season collapse. Meanwhile, Shaka has Texas rolling; many talking heads are calling them a possible 1-seed.

We'll see. Lots of season left.

Except Shaka at least won the NIT.
