Do you have a threshold for showing Shaka the door in March?

No. None. You're overreacting and insane. He took us to a S16 FFS! A S16!!!

Quote from: GoldenEagles03 on Today at 05:20:50 PMWe are so much worse than everyone in the Big East aside from maybe DePaul. Xavier looks better. Seton Hall is actually good.

Currently (statistically) we're battling Georgetown for 9th place.  DePaul should be worse that both of us, but Marquette is still an underdog @ DePaul

Quote from: #UnleashNigel on Today at 05:45:09 PMOnce again,

If only we showed this level of apathy to a coach when wojo was around.

Wojo never had a team this bad in advanced metrics.  The only one even close was his 1st team ever as a head coach.

Edit: and this team's #s are still being propped up by last year's #s

I'm not saying it happens...

But, if they go 3 - 17 and he still sez he won't go to the Portal, does he get canned ?

We can't win the Horizon League this year.  Hamilton should be at UW-GB.  We have 2 players in Chase and James.  Parham has regressed.  Gold hasn't improved in 4 years.  Don't know where Owens is.  Can't rebound or box out.  Missed too many layups.  If Shaka stays out of portal next year- he should be on hot seat.

Quote from: Galway Eagle on Today at 04:41:17 PMLast year his coaching was great, his two main beyond the arc players suddenly forgot how to shoot but they still got plenty of open looks.

That's not a mulligan to me but different strokes.

This is just wrong. His coaching last year was his worst since he's been at Marquette, hands down. The reason Kam forgot how to shoot is Shaka ran him into the ground with an unsustainable usage rate. The guy was running on fumes from February on. And because Shaka was convinced Sean would be back to himself (crazy) he didn't attempt to remedy our lack of ball handlers and creators.

This all seemed pretty obvious.

This is rather disturbing. 

Today was a mirror of the IU game.  In addition to our shooting woes, we disintegrate mentally.  That's not a good combination.  Are IU and Whisky better than us?  Yes.  Are they drop 100 on us better and blow-out city better?  No.  That's just my opinion.

Only if those in charge are willing to have a chat with him about it. If no one says anything he will roll into next year, lose as much as we do this year and then act shocked when he gets canned after next year.

Stevens will be a good Big East-starter-level player. Parham was much more aggressive offensively today and has played better recently. I'm not casting either of them aside as failures.

You're allowed an opinion, just as we all are, but you don't know Shaka will stubbornly stick to this philosophy if this season goes as bad as it appears it will. I mean, you were 100% certain that he would bench James the minute Jones was healthy enough to play because you were sure Shaka wouldn't have the "balls" to keep starting James.
