Our Future

This is absolutely true. Anybody who thinks people don't keep their job when they're not performing well in this world are dreaming.

Your attitude seems to be, 'well other people/organizations make bad decisions, so who cares if Marquette does too'

Those are also the two programs who have been head and shoulders the best programs and absolutely carried the conference since the New Big East was formed, and the third has head and shoulders the most money in the conference to use on its roster.

A professional organization can act like a professional organization, or it can act like it's stuck in the past. If it does the latter the athletic director should be fired. Period.

Every pro team has a General Manager, aside from the Dallas Mavericks (interim GM), the Minnesota Vikings (currently looking to hire), & the Tampa Bay Rays (team of assistant GMs). There's no excuse for professional NCAA teams not having the same.

Athletes across the spectrum get to choose whether they stay, retire, how they want to go out.    Not every athlete every time, certainly.  But plenty.

Then there are actors, singers, politicians, greeter at Wal-mart.

Many employees keep working past when they should retire in order to boost their retirement.

So, lots of people.

NFL GM: You know, you've spent most of the last three seasons on IR, and even when you do get on the field, you're one of the worst players in the league. We're going to have to release you.

Player: Nah, I'm staying.

GM: OK. Your call.

Is this something that happens at well-run, successful organizations?

[MurphysTillClose]

It should be his decision.

No it shouldn't.

[wadesworld]

Is this something that happens at well-run, successful organizations?

Yes? You seriously have never worked at a good organization but had coworkers who are lazy and just skate by?

I'm all for having Tre and Caedin move on. But if we're going to talk "real world" let's be real about the real world.

[Elonsmusk]

I worry that convincing home wins against short-handed Creighton and Butler squads will convince Shaka RGV is working, nothing needs to change, and he'll go find Cadin/Clark 2.0 in the summer to fill Zaide's scholarship.

Nice troll.

[Small Orange Soda]

Nice troll.

What exactly do you think he will do then? Because while I disagree with Billy, he's just saying Shaka will keep doing what he's doing, which you've loudly defended.

Sean not playing again this season seems likely at this point.

If that happens, what are the chances he can get another year of eligibility?

With Nigel entrenched for 30+ MPG next season, it makes all the sense in the world for Sean to move on, especially if he can get another year on top of next season.

I've been around plenty of organizations in which some people work harder or more effectively than others, or simply are more talented.
Never been around one in which a person incapable of doing their job was nonetheless retained and compensated as if they were.

[PointWarrior]

With tower's philosophy, Bob Dukiet would have coached up until his passing. 

Imagine any other workplace where an employee incapable of doing the job gets to decide whether or not he/she gets to continue collecting a full paycheck.

[tower912]

Dukiet lost the team, recruited poorly, had players commit assault, become academically ineligible.   He was the nadir of MU basketball. 

Is this what your hatred of MU has come to?    Prayers up for you.

None of us Scoopers are compensated for posting here, but some here did not meet the expectations of our Moderators to be productive Scoopers and were told to move on. So even here at Scoop we cannot expect that it is only our decision to leave.
