What Point Does Shaka’s Seat Get Warm

[The Sultan]

I've apparently blocked everything Wojo from my memory except 3/4 of 2018/19

His second year is when they won 20 games with Henry, but the schedule was so Charmin soft that they didn't even get an NIT bid.

I've watched Siena and it works there. Also was working in 2024-25 until Kam burned out.

Regardless, if you're losing the offensive guru and the guy who developed those offensive linchpins, replacing them with two defensive minded assistants when that's already the head coach's specialty is an interesting choice.

I agree. Also, the guys that can hit 3s at a good rate AND play the pressure D Shaka wants to play are hard to find. This roster MIGHT have one.

One other issue today, how did Porter not come in when we were 0/8? He finally gets in and NJ drives into a dead end & got bailed out with a foul but completely missed Porter wide open in the corner.

Then on the last chance we had to tie, down 3, Porter isn't even in the game? That's insane coaching.

anytime you can leave your best 3pt shooting on the bench down 3 with 15 seconds left you have to do it...

Why would porter be in when we have 3 and D specialist Michael Phillips in?

*terrible defender and is shooting below 10% from behind the arc in his career

think shaka has jumped the shark

I don't  blame Shaka not playing porter much. he's tiny and it's going to be a liability against a long athetlic mizzou team. Hoping he drills deep bombs off
The dribble every game is not a recipe for success

This was the crazy one for me. Was NM benched for the missed rebound on the 5 point possession? How does AE only come in with 2 minutes left in the first half?

So many issues.

• Offense looks completely lost without Nevada. Out of synch and out of ideas.
• Great defense, but once Mizzou figured it out we had no counter punch.
• Shaka refuses to use new players. Trusting Owens and Phillips with minutes late when they'd done nothing all game and both Egbuonu and Porter have given plenty of reason to put them in was inexplicable.
• We were great at guard development. Exit Haynes, that seems to be over.
• In the most critical moment of the game, our marquee player and coach both choked. Can't have that.

It's not time to start anything on fire unless we go 0-2 in Atlantis, but gathering kindling proactively might not be a bad idea. IMO today was a clear coaching loss. Against Dennis Gates, that's a bad look.

The only quibble I have with this is "great defense". Great at forcing turnovers, but when that doesn't happen, very sub-par. How many backdoor cuts did we allow for easy dunks/layups/baskets+foul?
