Nothing against Theo, never one of my favorites, but whatever. He just isn't that great of a player.

Nor did I say he was "that great of a player."

C'mon Mike, Shaka would recruit right over him. Besides, we're talking big time D1 men's basketball, not a roster spot on the intramural debate team, hey?

Shaddup and dribble, oona?

This could be interesting, Doc. Shaka actually encourages his players to speak out on social justice matters, and to protest peacefully. And he himself has been vocal about abusive cops. He could quickly turn from a coach you are getting wet over to one you rip, and it would have nothing to do with his performance as coach. Maybe he's even a "Marxist," oona?

I think seniors returning is pretty low risk unless they caused a locker room issue. I think they don't count against the scholarship limit.

Which is why Nolonger Warriors instantly hated the hire.

So we agree he isn't that great of a player. Then the only reason you would want him back is because of his social justice stance. Ok that makes sense.

Apparently all he would have to do is stare at you until you wet your pants. Still worth the price of admission.

So if you were a coach you'd have only 13 "great" players? No role players? No backups? Wow ... we should have hired you!

Well I probably would do better than Wojo.  ;)

That's why Shaka was hired.  He'll fit right in at MU, where they honor guys who batter women.

Will be amusing if he doesn't do a good job and fans lose patience quickly and we get MKE "leaders" saying he gets as many years as Wojo or else MU is racist.  Smith encouraged a ton of partisan division while at Texas.  Don't see why he'd be any different at MU.

My interest is MU basketball. Don't give a chit what actors, athletes, or others who feel the public needs to know what X's position on a newsworthy story happens to be. Concentrate on making yourself the best athlete or actor you can be. You don't have as much influence as you may think and automatically piss off half your fanbase by speaking out. As for John, I hope his Marquette degree serves him well, hey?

Well, you need to talk to your guy Shaka and set him straight, my friend. Because I'm thinking his athletes will not be discouraged from speaking out, even if it automatically pisses off half the fanbase. Shaka might say a thing or three, as well. I'll be curious to hear your reaction if and when he is on the opposing side of an issue.

We share the same hope for Theo, and for all Marquette students.

FIFY  ;)

For me, if you've earned a platform you should use it as you see fit. Use it for hate, there are consequences. Use it to fight injustice, apparently there are also consequences. Regardless you should use it.

Good. If a bunch of snowflakes choose Bucky over Marquette because our coach and his players want to be on the right side of history, so be it.

Ever since Shaka became a serious candidate for this job, all Doc has talked about are the great athletes Shaka's gonna bring here. He knows that most will be Black. He knows that Shaka has taken political stances that differ from his own, and he knows that Shaka has strongly backed athletes who have done the same.

So Doc can't have it both ways. He can't eagerly welcome Shaka and his Black players to restore respect to our basketball program but then whine when they publicly demand that African-Americans be treated with respect in our society.

Or at least he can't if he's being intellectually honest, because he lobbied hard for Shaka to be our coach.

Glad you brought it up so let's keep it real. It was fairly obvious, early in this coaching search, that MU's administration wanted to hire an African-American coach this time. In fact, I posted that almost immediately. It was also speculated that Scholl and the Board differed on their choice. I'm guessing the Board won out and choose the best minority candidate for the job. I'll also speculate that Scholl preferred Moser, as he was the safe selection.
For the record, I would have been enthused with either because I want, foremost, for MU to win on the court and I believe both are capable of delivering that. My preference is Shaka for style of play and the feeling that he will be better able to recruit athletes needed, both to win in the BE and compete for a championship. Woj couldn't do that and I can understand elite athletes wanting nothing to do with him or a program that he leads. Frankly, he's just vanilla, in so many ways.
As for athletes and their outspoken views on social justice, I'm not interested in hearing them. Its a distraction from their task at hand. It doesn't move me in one direction or another whether celebrities endorse social justice, Wheaties, the death penalty, or bitcoins. Now, that doesn't mean I have no interest in these topics, and maybe I even will agree with their points of view, but I feel, I'm capable of sorting out the information and forming my opinions how and when I feel it's appropriate to do so. To be clear, if Shaka encourages like behavior from his team, I'll tune it out as well, hey?
