Shaka’s Coaching Staff

[keefe]

I see Neill Berry spent some time at Iowa State, so he already has experience coaching Marquette players.

Coaching or poaching?

Nevada's time with the Heat G-League should be a fantastic addition to #mubb.  The Heat organization is one of the best in sports.  Riley is meticulous and it carries through to all levels.

Nice to see in this group is some good player development and coaching experience. I am probably a bit too on the optimistic side, but things look rosy lately.

I've been told that Shaka credits the addition of Nevada as the reason for the offensive resurgence at Texas last season. Big if true.

LOVING how the new staff is shaping up.  As previously posted, it appears Smart has one open assistant role still to fill (perhaps it has already been filled).  Would be interesting to see who that ends up being.

OT: but Nevada Smith sounds like a cheesy Indiana Jones rip-off.

Yes.

I don't want to speak out of turn but in addition to Hatt, Berry, and Smith, it sounds like DeAndre Haynes may also be on the staff.  Has been an assistant at Kent State, Toledo, Michigan with Beilein, and then Maryland once Beilein left.

Here's his profile on the Maryland team site:
https://umterps.com/staff-directory/deandre-haynes/2836

Most notably, I love the comments about him as a developer of guards (he was instrumental for Anthony Cowan at Maryland and Zavier Simpson and Jordan Poole at Michigan).  Not only with scoring, but with taking care of the ball!!  What a novel concept for Marquette guards!  In addition to that, he's an A+ recruiter.  With Shaka having such great success with sending big men to the league in the lottery, I love that Haynes has such a track record with guards.

I also read a story where, while he was at Michigan, he accompanied Charles Matthews to the funeral of his mother mid-season.  And the two of them then took a flight back to Detroit for the game that night.  Sounds like a fantastic guy who his players love.  Hope it works out that way.

Yes, his name has been mentioned elsewhere as a possibility for Shaka's staff.

I would love Haynes in that final spot. Really high on this coaching staff if that ends up as the 4 slotting in.

Whoops my bad.  Haven't read all of the posts since I assumed half this thread was made up of chicks in military garb.

No apology needed as I was referring to other boards / sites.

It's always interesting how long it takes to get the "good stuff" from the "other boards".  Today it appears it took 8 hours.

Nevada Smith is a Steve McQueen movie from the 60s.  Great movie.

Nevada Smith is 1000% one of Nic Cage's confidants in Gone in 60 Seconds.

This is the only MUBB board I frequent, for better or (absolutely) worse.
So can anyone who goes to "the other boards" provide us all with "good stuff" in regards to recruiting and who is coming in?  Sans Joplin who I think everyone knows is basically a given.

Both rip-offs of the original.

Lighten up dude There are at least 5 posts above including one from the moderator/hall monitor about Nevada Smith/Steve McQueen. Throw some aspersions their way.
Besides, we all know that McQueens greatest moment was when he plugged the mob hit man at the airport through the glass door in Bullit.

And you've complained directly about his posts almost 10 times in the last week.  Either mute him or relax.  It's the off season.  People act like this is a professional work forum
