Shaka’s Coaching Staff

[keefe]

If you take him completely literally and seriously enough to get to that conclusion, that's on you.

Another call Shaka needs to make is to KO.

After 7 long, miserable years of vanilla white cake I can think of no better tonic than a healthy dose of alcohol-fueled, expletive-laced outbursts both on and off the court.

Marquette basketball needs to get back to its roots - a proud heritage of fisticuffs, vulgarity, chutzpah, swagger, presumption, and audacity.

Who better than KO to re-index the Marquette brand? This is a man who thrived on a steady diet of booze, broads, and basketball and punctuated his appreciation for all of life's earthy pleasures with full-throated salty paeans of that would make a sailor blush.

We were the Oakland Raiders of college basketball. The Hell's Angels of Hoops. It's time to reinvigorate the brand. Bring back KO!

Great point about Boylan. Here is a fun thought for the day: Imagine MU if Boylan was a bench assistant during Markus tenure.

Boylan would have been a great presence but there is no way Caspar Milquetoast would have wanted him on the bench. Boylan has a visceral appreciation for the nuance of the game that Mr Deer in the Headlights will never possess.

[The Sultan]

Bad guess. That is generally not the case at all. In fact, you'll see paragraph(s) regarding hiring authority that makes it clear that not only does the head coach have no hiring authority, but that even slightly hinting or representing that they may to a potential assistant coach is a serious breach of contract. The hiring authority for assistants lies with the athletic director. Obviously, as an AD you'd like your head coach to be able to 'pick' candidates... but there is no 'right' and even hinting by a head coach that they get to make the call is a big no no.

Some programs had major, major issues with this matter years ago... over the past couple of decades, they've been much tighter in the contractual language. 

Thank you.  I stand corrected.

I think you need to retire. Your comments are ridiculous.

Obviously you have never spent time perched on a stool at Lenny's. There are many alums who consider that watering hole the most important classroom of their Marquette education.

And Jimmy Boylan not only drank there but dispensed both wisdom and the nectar which slaked their intellectual thirst.

It was a classic hole in the wall bar where a man could find comfort either in the camaraderie of kindred spirits or the gentle caress of solitude and Oban single malt.

Life was defined in the hazy blue smoke which spiraled upward through the red neon rays of one too many beer signs.

It was a place where the denizens of the dark found refuge from the sharp sting of a January Milwaukee night. Where ideas were born...and where dreams slid into the coma of a silent, agonizing sleep. One could see Ron Cuzner bellied up to the bar, unfiltered Camel perched between thin lips, hacking the phlegm of a life lived richly.

Lenny's Tap...

It was a place where heartache wasn't a stranger and the sting of cheap booze somehow only eased but never cured life's agony.

A heady mixture of sweat, cigarette smoke, body odor, and the stale perfume of the tart in leopard skin spandex whose ass was wrapped around her bar stool and her cherry red lips around the head of a PBR bottle.

It was a place Al would have been proud to drink at and probably did.

Where dreams died and agony thrived through the gauzy fog of one last unfiltered Camel.

For a few dollars a man could find sanctuary in a guileless world of doom and despair framed in flashing neon. Of all the gin joints in Milwaukee this was the oasis, the shimmering chimera of shame in city that gives no quarter...

They had Oban single malt at Lenny's?

Your musings on Mr Bernstein's establishment are pure poetry - they teleport me to a time and a place that helped shape my life. Thanks!

I knew I liked you when you told me you drank at both Lenny's and the Comet Bar on Capital Hill. I remember thinking to myself, "Colonel, this Lenny fella knows his sh1t..."

Who cares about the coaching staff. I want more of these posts.

Did you write the lyrics for Piano Man?

Great post on Lenny's Tap.

Goose,

It might be time for Hiroshima

[fjm]

I'm probably over thinking this.

But MUBB Twitter just tweeted happy birthday to Cam with a picture of him in a suit and tie coaching on the sidelines.

Can't imagine they would do that if he wasn't coaching anymore. And would instead post a pic of him in just a jersey?

Like Robert Hunter's lyrics, they paint the picture perfectly

They do this for all former players.

Crap. Thanks JB.

+1. Scoop has enough critics (myself included) but not enough artists. New or old no matta - Keefe's stuff ages like fine wine.

Love Cam, great guy and a part of a dyed in the wool Marquette family, but the best thing for his coaching aspirations, provided that's what he's aiming for, would be to spread his wings.  Call Stan, call Killings, hell reach out to Doc for a reco. Marquette will always be there for him

Crash, I have to admit that I don't find it the least bit surprising that you refer to yourself as "Colonel" in your thoughts.

[TallTitan34]

I just assumed Cam was an MU lifer and will always have a position be it with the basketball team or athletic department.
