His birthday was the first item in "Happy Happy" on PTI yesterday - they have no show today because of the Masters.

They said very nice things about both him and the Marquette job, with Wilbon calling it the perfect fit.

Not that it matters ... but it's always nice to have our alma mater mentioned in a positive light.

Anyhoo ... happy birthday, Shaka.

Crazy he has been a head coach as long as he has, and he's still so young.

He could have a loooooong career at Marquette if things go well.

Then it has to be retired. One of MU all time greats. 6 foot 4 and averaged about 15 rebounds per game. Not to mention that at one time he was MUs all time leading scorer.

No no no. MU doesn't retire numbers. We retire "jerseys," remember?  ::)
