Rothstein isn't always right. But he is right here.

So we fire our head coach for not creating a sustainably winning program or by winning enough games in the NCAAT in order to hire a head coach that was on the hot seat at his school for not creating a sustainably winning program or by winning enough games in the NCAAT.

IIf true, Im all on board. I think Shaka will do very well at MU and this is a better fit for him than Tex. I also think he will be able to keep some of our players/recruits. Personally I wanted Moser but Marquette will be back people and sooner rather than later. Let's go now!

I think this is a much better fit. But it seems all is right in the world for Scoop--we already have a Smarters and Dumbers (projo/nojo) divide on the board.

We're gonna be okay GWarrior. I think this is a far different situation than Texas. Granted that loss to Abilene-T was brutal but I think you should have a little faith.

Followup tweet from Rothstein:

"Source: Marquette's administration is meeting with its players in the next few hours.

Barring something unforeseen, Shaka Smart is heading to Milwaukee."

DONE DEAL

Mrs. Smart cannot be pleased

BM1090 · « **Reply #15 on:** March 26, 2021, 10:30:25 AM »

He was my top choice. Hope it gets to the finish line.

Think he has a good shot to keep the current roster in place.

Warrior_2002 · « **Reply #16 on:** March 26, 2021, 10:31:10 AM »

Wow let’s see how fast this thread loads up lol.
I like it if it’s him. Our core will stick around likely. He WILL succeed here.

Same. And retain Aidoo and Mitchell. And do some damage in the portal.

Could see him hanging onto Lewis because of his connections from VCU. Unsure about Dawson or DJ

Not going to lie, I'm pretty whelmed. I was a total Proser.

Hope the best for you Shaka! Now the real question is, does he keep his hair or go back to bald

Maybe he grows it out even more for the Milwaukee winter

MuggsyB · « **Reply #23 on:** March 26, 2021, 10:34:38 AM »

Can we not give Shaka a chance??? What on earth is going on here? I do not see him being a "carbon copy" of Wojo at all. Regardless of how any of you feel at this moment if this is accurate you support this hire 100%.

Uncle Rico · « **Reply #24 on:** March 26, 2021, 10:35:34 AM »

Would have been fine with Moser or Gates and am fine with Shaka. Gets 100% support from me, FWIW, which ain’t much. Definite concerns but this could be a great match
