Zaide Didn’t Travel With Team

[SOSW]

Are you serious with this?  They "literally" confirmed there was no altercation.

Is the English language usually this difficult for you?

[Pakuni]

So Marquette responds to a known Twitter troll, and in the process confirms that an altercation occurred, and people here legitimately think it's no big deal??

This is a master class on how to NOT manage a situation. There is no need to say anything. Just ignore it!

Now Shaka is going to be asked about it and Zaide has been tossed under the bus.

Just dumb PR all around.

jfc, some people are struggling to read tonight.
The Marquette X account said reports of an altercation were inaccurate, aka not true. It didn't confirm anything.

And literally nobody will care about it in 24 hours. Except for Scoopers who just want to cry about the program.

Inaccurate

The #altercation just overtook the letter

No. They said the reports of *the* altercation were inaccurate.

Very different. Essentially they confirmed an altercation took place.

Yep.

[Elonsmusk]

Well for one. Don't reply to clowns at all.

Responding made it seem worthy of attention. If it didn't happen, let it be nothing. Then they worded it as if there was an altercation. Not exactly doing Zaide any good.

How did MU word it as if there was an altercation??  And you're a walking contradiction - don't respond to a burner account that puts our FALSE info about and altercation involving Zaide an Cody Hatt - but when MU clarifies the info about an altercation was inaccurate that "not exactly doing Zaide any good?"

Sounds like Zaide won the fight and Marquette is doing damage control

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

Holy hell.

Our fan base has the team it deserves.

The said "information about the altercation isn't true." So there was an altercation but the details were wrong? That's how it reads.

If there is no altercation say "an altercation" not "the altercation". Their wording was terrible and they got multiple cracks at coming up with something clear.

Marquette needs to put this to bed and release the CCTV of coach Hatt body slamming Zaide.

Again by saying "the altercation" it confirms there was one.

Elementary English.

Elementary PR is to ignore a known troll. They already released a statement! Just laugh and go to bed. No one will care in the morning.

[dpucane]

there's been an altercation in the kitchen

[onepost]

Don't think Shaka is here next season.
More confident than ever he exits stage left in March.

[wadesworld]

There were no specifics about what occurred with "the altercation" in the original Tweet. All that was said was that he was released after "an altercation." Marquette responded that the information about the altercation is inaccurate. Meaning an altercation did not occur. This really isn't this hard or complicated.

Like a firing or bouncing like he did at Texas?

I read the edit to clarify Zaide is still leaving the program and just the altercation part is inaccurate. However, I think it's dumb they responded to the troll account in the first place.

I'm frankly worried about the quality of English majors that the university is pumping out.

It reads that way if you don't know how to read.

Their reply doesn't make me any more convinced there was no altercation than one taking place. That's the problem.

This is why you don't respond from the official account. Nothing to gain, a lot to lose.

Keep us updated on what they're saying on Discord like you do.

No relationships. No growth. No victory.

You should write a blog and get another Marquette basketball coach fired.

Oh I'm not so sure anything was lost. Certainly not a lot was lost. I'm trying to think of the worst case scenario, and I'm coming up with nothing.

Not sure what a Discord is saying, but that talk has started to get stronger the last couple weeks.

Lots of non-blueblood ACC jobs are gonna open that make sense.  Can take the roster from here with him too since theyre all from that part of the country.

I don't think Shaka takes transfers.
