KT Turner won't be joining Shaka at Marquette

Oklahoma coach Porter Moser is hiring KT Turner on his staff, source told @Stadium. Turner is extremely connected in the area

Actually relieved.  Turner is probably an outstanding coach and recruiter, but his specialty is Texas.  I did not think that would be a fit here.

Even happier that the buyouts are officially off the books now.

So we pretty much hired Shaka Smart for free. That's neat.  8-)

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!

Keefe is keen on what it takes for Marquette to get back to its roots. This is an underrated post, for Keefe’s header quote (not to take him literally) foreshadows an understanding that KO wants nothing of this wussified new coaching world...

...but maybe he could stop by a couple practices, drink in hand, and help toughen up the enlistees at the inspection line, a la AL, letting them know they may be high 4-stars but ain’t done $#@t yet.  Tell them the greatest favor they can do themselves, their coach, and Marquette is to allow themselves to be truly coached. It would be quite the lesson, as the impressionable young lads would simultaneously learn lessons of humility, truth, and the admonition against vile, word-slurringly cynical degeneracy only Uncle Kev could provide.

Keefe knows you couldn’t pay KO enough to get back into coaching. Just listen to him in that recent Podcast. That said, the brand has definitely gotten a bit soft. When Bill Cords alerted Keven that he was already at the recruiting budget threshold only three months into his Year1 tenure, KO told him to F off, “you hired me to Win, didn’t you?”

Here’s hoping the firm of Smart and Scholl (KO’s rant on ADs on the Marq’d Men Podcast is legendary)
finds some $ in the budget to pay KO some consulting/speaking fees a couple times a year.

Zenyatta has a lot....a lot... of ground to make up. She gets there from here she’d be a super horse......what’s this.....Zenyatta hooked to the grandstand side....Zenyatta flying on the outside....this....is...un-belieeeeeevable!...looked impossible at the top of the stretch...

Thank you Keefe. You truly have this down.

We were the meanest SOBs in the valley. I want Marquette FEARED again. It would be nice if we walked in the arena and our opponent said, « My God, we have to play THESE guys? »

Same. I think they need to have a few hold overs. Keep Cam in the loop.

Yep. The Marotta name means something in the MU community and it could rub some people the wrong way to come in and dump him from what's essentially a graduate assistant's gig. If anything, Cam's institutional knowledge is a benefit to the new regime.

Tight bond with Doc Rivers and his Dad worked awfully hard to get Shaka here the first time around.

Some Xavier fans are picking up on it too. Nice landing spot for him.

I appreciate your post and your information. I do understand you are just passing along MUBB info.

With that said, is there more of a negative nancy twitter feed than Coaching Changes? It's concept appears to be a bunch of sexist, mysogistic ex coaches, negatively gossipping about other coaches. I find it difficult to believe an adult runs that account.

Obviously Gainey has his Sean Miller connection going back to N.C. State, that can help him land at Xavier.

Presutti is out officially.


He wasn't listed on the webpage as of yesterday so this wasn't really a surprise.

So far we only seem to know that Shaka and Cody Hatt are on staff.

Seems like we should know more soon given the moving pieces yesterday/today.
Assume what I say should be in teal if it doesn't pass the smell test for you.

Not saying Gainey won’t land at Xavier but I find it odd he is still listed as associate coach on the website.

I think if he was out the door already, then they would of took him off with Presutti.

Maybe his agent is stirring up some competition to get Gainey a nice raise.

I imagine that Hatt or other coaches haven't been announced due to dead period. Can't help but think that he (or others) might be talking to David and Tamar on our behalf, but not in an official capacity that would require following the dead period restrictions.
