  1. 14 strikeouts as a team is ridiculous

    The Eyes of Texas

    Was Hanna in charge of the halftime shows? Those were utter crap for the last five years. I haven't seen a good show since the Les Mis show in ~2013.
  3. The Catholic becomes the Convict
  4. It's actually quite common among the good coaches. Take Kelvin Sampson, for example. He seems to make 2-3 scrubs good every year.
  5. No OnE rEcRuItS lIkE sHaKa. He CaN't Be RePlAcED.
  6. Representing the league? Get out of here aggy
  7. System still plays a role. Would a lesser coach like Shaka gotten as much out of them?
  8. I disagree to some extent. The 2003-2009 era teams were all fun to watch and well balanced on offense. It seems like hindsight or selective memory to not have enjoyed watching Ford, Augustin, Durant, PJ Tucker, and Aldridge on offense. Obviously the offenses declined over time into a slower, ball control version of what we did before, which is why it wasn't fun. But go back and watch the 2003 Elite 8 and Final Four games, and y'all will see what I mean.
  9. Given the number of upsets, we should keep Shaka Smart. It’s clearly not his fault. /s
  10. Can someone explain how Syracuse seemingly surprises teams every year with the same zone defense and 3 point shooting offense?
  11. Does it help if we relatively overpay Ivey? Possibly a dumb question, but are these guys able to handle the admin/recruiting tasks at a big program (even one where basketball isn’t #1)?
  12. I watch a lot of UH basketball and have friends who work with the team. The difference between Sampson and Shaka has been night and day for years. Sampson puts them into contention every year with a bunch of scrubs. Because he develops so well, it’s somehow next man up even with injuries and no depth. Shaka has never developed like that
  13. He mentors young black coaches and is a friend to all
  14. I’d take the first four but don’t like Musselman.
  15. Let’s just hire Boeheim and his zone defense /s
  16. A six year extension with a poison pill? Yeah, we are.
  17. We missed our chance to get Beard. If we wanted him, it had to be before the extension he got in 2019.
  18. It’s not even close. The Shaka as a great recruiter narrative isn’t backed up by the data or the eye test.
