The fact some of you believe a team should be good just because it has a top 5 pick on it in this era is HILARIOUS.
Ketch's 10 Thoughts From the Weekend (Shaka is a damn good coach)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
No doubt. Truer words have never been written.
It’s extremely ironic and been the issue since “shut up” it’s getting pretty obvious he can’t write without being subjective as relation to politics but he can with the school itself. Then paints paying members as the dults and hypocrites
So, by your logic, Strong is a "damn good coach" as well, as @El Mahico was alluding to.
If that's the stance you want to take, that mid-major / G6 success from outlier stretches of performance dictates "damn good" status for life, fine. Just be consistent.
Guess that happens when your entire sight is racist and politically biased, amiright?
Leaving this season aside, what's HILARIOUS is that you/ketch/any other Shaka supporter has even the first clue how to explain last season.
So, how far apart is a 5-7 season and missing a bowl game and missing the NCAA tournament that accepts 68 teams? I guess the only thing missing would've been the Tennessee State loss which would have been the equivalent of the Kansas loss. Is that the hang-up for you?You compared this season to Charlie's last. That is what is not comparable. Keep up.
Never mind the locker room fights and players only meeting because the COACH can’t lead.....
This is the second time you've brought out that silly anime related to Shaka Smart. Embarrassingly clueless.
Come on man, he didn't have a PG...that's the excuse we heard all last year. I mean, of all the 100+ years at Texas, his was the first without a pure PG and it was all clearly Isiah Taylor's fault for leaving early, it's not as if Shaka could have recruited one.
He was coaching at Virginia Commonwealth, dude. And he never won a conference championship as coach there. VCU won them before and after he left.
I’m a supporter of the University of Texas. Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see last season was abysmal. In the era of one and done having a top 5 pick means nothing. These kids are on vacation until the get to the league.
just lucky, huh?
It's amazing that the people at USA Basketball were tricked so easily.
I lol. Because I honestly wonder how many patting head gifs there are. Could be a long night
I would contend Davis is finally looking like the freshman we were all excited for. It looks like he is making strides because he had such a horrendous year last year.
Game planning, adjustments, whatever you would like to provide. There is game planning involved in basketball. Most coaches will have their staff watch film and try to devise ways to give their team an advantage. Like knowing that Kansas lives and dies by the three, so maybe they shouldn't let them shoot 35 threes and actually try to run them off the line. Little things like that. If he is doing such a great job it should be quite easy to find many examples of in game adjustment. Do we not expect in game adjustment from our football coaches? Do we not speak at great lengths about what was and wasn't done from one half to the next? Don't understand why basketball would be any different.
Not a game. Great help defense? Great ball movement? Going into each game, what facet can you say a Shaka team is going to do consistently well?
That's what I cheer for, not a coach. Shaka has done less with more than any coach I have ever seen. He's recruited well, then he's failed when coaching becomes necessary. Poor guy needs a pat on his head.
Really? Kentucky won a MNC while on vacation? Bagley, Alton, porter considered this a vacation too? Interesting
Has Shaka met the expectations obviously not, but to cry and wish for him to be fired when he’s not going to be is stupid. Who’s gonna write the 16 million dollar check? Just support the damn team.
Ketch, you need a pat on the head gif for short, chubby, bald men who never played the game of basketball. I wish I was talking about me.
Minds have been made up and in this world we live in now, it'shard to change them once they've been made.
I'm guilty of it as well.
Charlie Strong was one hell of a football coach too. Amazing these mid major guys come here and can't get it done.
Lets hope Herman keeps improving.
