Quote from: Small Orange Soda on February 14, 2026, 11:43:54 PMNot crap, but possibly role players.

When the 'he's not going to take transfers' accusation has previously been rolled out, the counter has been, 'well he never specifically said that.' Okay, fair enough. But what he has said about valuing loyalty to the program and it being reflected in their pay are things that have been said. The portal is a competitive space. Telling a talented player with the stats to back it up that he's going to make less than Josh Clark or Ian Miletcic since he's new isn't a sound strategy. Do I know that's going to happen? No. But the other half of the battle is Shaka deciding to drop that philosophy, because he has talked about it previously.

Seems pretty obvious to me that they don't intentionally drop this news prior to a Saturday game if the plan is to half-ass it.

I certainly hope so!

Quote from: wadesworld on February 14, 2026, 07:46:19 PMBut he didn't just start his career as a D1 head men's basketball coach. Hence why I said the top 0.00001% of his profession. There are a lot of people paid to coach basketball in the world. Many who would love to be where Shaka is. He gets paid millions of dollars to do his job. He's objectively one of the best in the world at what he does. And objectively one of the more successful people in the world, regardless of profession.

10,000,000 people are paid to coach bball? Because that's what ur math sayz.

Even if there were, there are dozens (hundreds?) of people that WITH MUs RESOURCES could have assembled and coached a team to as many Ws as the team has THIS season. Tight be close (but still way wrong) to say the level.of results Shaka has produced this year are in the bottom 0.000001% of what a paid coach coaching a team with the resources available to to him could achieve.

Actually - who is it that does the season simulations here? It would.be interesting to know where this season is falling in the distribution.
