What would make you show Shaka the door in March?

[WhiteTrash]

That's crazy 🤣🤣

What else are fans supposed to judge a coach on? No offense but I do not really care about the relationships they build if it doesn't lead to wins.

By height?

[HutchwasClutch]

By height?

Nicely done

I agree. Maybe I'm confusing people's opinions. Some believe MU players have it as good as it gets, and will never leave becase they are promised $, so Shaka has personally created his own prison. Hence, if true, grounds to be terminated.

Totally agree that Shaka has created his own prison, but he also has the keys to his escape. That will require him swallowing some pride, but like I said, the alternative might be spending the 2028 season in the A-10 or the American.

What a clown she is. No accountability. This program and seemingly everyone surrounding it are total jokesters. They are making their own fortress where everybody is wrong and they are right at all times. Hubris galore... smells like Wojo.

I wish every player well in their life after basketball, but this four year stretch is likely the most money guys like Tre and Caedin will ever make. I can't blame them for sticking around. Would anyone here seek out a 90% paycut?

[Biggie Clausen]

A good example of the type of guy who benefits from transferring down is Daniel Freitag.  For whatever reason, it didn't work out for him at UW, so he went to Buffalo, where he's putting up outstanding numbers as a sophomore.  He will be in high demand this spring, and will be able to level back up to a great program looking to fill a need for a very nice payday.  And since he's only a sophomore, he'll have two years to collect.

What would be the benefit for Tre, Caedin, Sean, DO, Clark, or Zaide to do the same?  For Sean, Tre, and Zaide, next year will be their last year of eligibility.  For the others, I have little faith that they would do well enough at a mid-major to level back up to a high major.

He's capable of creating a new account or changing his name?!?

🤯

Probably by mistake

[Warrior of Law]

Many of the players who can return next year need to get the Wally Ellenson offer: leave.

[MarquetteMike1977]

Lol Maybe Our Son could help Shaka. He head coached his select team to wins over Steve Novak's coached and Steve's Son team last year. And he head coached a Win over Neil Barry's Son's select team today haha.

Half the team can leave

Back to Sean's mom ...

I get you want to " protect " your kid, but FFS that was stupid. She needs to STFU.  Really.

Her kid had an injury setback, but has demonstrated he has no business playing in the BE.  None. 

But, it's just another reflection of what SS must be telling his players and their families.

[ghostofcorms77]

I would say there's almost a zero chance Shaka gets fired this season. That's not say I don't think he should be. We're in as bad a spot, if not worse, than when he was hired 5 years ago. The results aren't because of dumb luck. They are 100% a reflection of his arrogance. I can't comprehend those who reference past years as a reason to give him time. The past was pre-NIL/Rev-Share boom, and the game has completely changed.

With that being said. I would not be surprised if the boosters start applying major pressure, based off what I've heard. What that entails, idk. But I have it on good authority his seat is heating up.

The one scenario I can see where change occurs:

Boosters tell him next year is do or die. But the boosters are reluctant to pledge additional funds outside the rev-share allotment, given the financial icompetency he deployed for this season. Shaka knows the roster needs a complete overhaul, which is not possible given the scholarship situation, his attachment to the players, and lack of extra NIL. Starts planning an exit to another school, to save himself from being fired. Or he simply retires, as he wants no part of this version of college basketball.

Bad look from miss jones. Which is hard to do for her #respectfully

[NCMUFan]

Hmm, other jobs have job performance reviews.
What is his criteria for doing a good job?
RGV, W-L record, attendance level, revenue generated?

Is this a real thing we're supposed to care about ... what a player's mom says on social media? This is Message Board Geniuses material.
