Grace Period is over

[panda2.0]

I agree with this. G league offensive savant who never got called up to a better job. MU has had the worst offensive of any team in the tournament. No more resting on laurels that you never should have been given.

You're not an offensive guru when it takes an all American pg, best passing big in the country and a 40% 3 point shooter. This offense is not sustainable unless it has premium pieces in place.

If he turns up his nose up to the portal again I want him gone. There is a permanent ceiling on this program right now and I don't want to watch the Chicago Bulls of college basketball

😆 🤡

On the whole, it was a god four (4) year run, particularly after the crater of the Wojo years.

That said, I don't have a lot of confidence in the next four years.  Lowery looked good tonight, and his defense impressed.  Owens could be incredibly strong.  Parham continues to improve.  Certainly, Shaka knows more than I do about his players and future development.  Despite my unease, I will wait until next March.

Can you see the future?

[MurphysTillClose]

This is so dumb.

No he's correct.

[warriorfred]

Shaka has earned my respect and trust for another season.

As my old boss told me during every yearly review, "One at a time . . ."

[PointWarrior]

If this is what our four year cycles look like in the regular season, then sign me up.

97 wins in 4 years?  Give me another 4 like that.

CoS president nominee.  How many tourney wins?

[The Sultan]

No he's correct.

He's been here four years, been in the tournament four times, and won a conference regular season and a BET. And people think he should be gone because he doesn't build the team the way dipsh*t fans want it built?

It's mind-numbingly dumb.

Two all-Americans, nothing to show for it in March. TK himself told him
they need a big (you heard the PC) he refused.

You're the dumbass

I'm sincerely interested in - if you ran things - how you'd propose the program attempt to improve.

I would trust the guy who I hired to do it until he proved that he wasn't up to the job.

[MUeng]

Not saying his seat is warm, but winning in March is what matters, period. We're average at that. Time to reconsider some strategy to be able to compete with the likes of New Mexico cuz they were bigger, more fundamentally sound, and able to shut Marq down defensively. Next years roster does not look like an upgrade from this one. At least consider the portal I'd say.

[MarquetteVol]

I've got an idea! For everyone complaining and suggesting changes, all you have to do is donate $2m to the NIL fund and all of the sudden we can buy the best players in the game.

The whining is laughable. Stop it. Marquette is in great hands. The landscape has changed. We have the right coach and a great group of guys. It sucks to lose to Pitinos but I don't want one.

Shaka is my dude. I trust him. We will get there. And it will still be against all odds give this is now the G League without a salary cap.

You should probably listen to that again, dummy.

Wanting to fire the coach after this four year stretch because he won't use the portal is assinine. 

Apparently you aren't smart enough to realize that.

You continue to prove how dumb you are. It's fun. RGV baby

You are literally too stupid to insult.

Lmfao all is good.

I pray for how stupid MU fans are thinking this is good

[MDMU04]

I must have missed the part where the transfer portal is an absolute guarantee that some stud shows up and turns the team into a juggernaut.

Not to overlook the fact that landing a significant contributor out of the portal will almost certainly cost several million dollars of someone else's money.

No. No one said "this is good." You're shifting goalposts.

You're on the record for saying if he doesn't use the portal, he should be fired. Like now.

That's dumb.

Therefore Shaka should not even try.  Gard seems to do ok in the portal.

Only if your frame of reference is like three months.

It bit him in the a$$ last year.

[MDMU04]

Then get out your checkbook and tell Shaka who you want to pay to sign out of the portal.

It's probably actually that simple.

If he continues to not improve the roster by choice and underperform, then it's worth criticizing. No sh*t he is not getting fired, thanks professor.

Don't think he should be fired either, but the blind defense by you and others about his approach is stupid, and if some are calling it out, then they should. Opportunities to improve the roster have been hitting him in the face and this summer it was obvious they needed portal help. And if guys leave so fucking be it. That's how you win in now in CBB.
