If they have a reasonable amount of intelligence (not saying they do), maybe they’ll come through by realizing they are hurting the entire school in terms of lost revenue, and not just the basketball program.

Willard is a politician who left SHU at the right time.He has a $10M sugar daddy in Kevin Plank an alum and founder of Under Armor.He is doing a good job at rebuilding the Maryland program.

the losing is because of money. the losing by 25 every night because of sha. whether roster construction or coaching. or both.

the players stink and they have also tuned out. it got so bad so quick that the season has been more lost than any other i've seen.

money fixes everything. but wondering if it's the losing, or losing by 25 that gets to sha. id trade places in a heartbeat

There is going to be a major infusion of NIL money into the program that Sha has never had before. The number is probably higher than most believe. It will not totally even the playing field with the upper tier national teams, but it at least it gives Sha a chance to build a quality roster.

I’m in DC for the game-yes call me crazy. Gtown 68 pirates 54

1. Idk how the management of the team goes on the inside with the coaching staff. I don’t think they forgot how to do this, but 13-7 to 1-11 is shocking. We’ve seen a lack of personnel consistency, constant frustration, and questionable effort. The team he choose looks like garbage for months. Something is not connecting and went wrong. What?

How did we go from Bediako, Davis types to this? Just money? Why did we try to build depth on a low budget?

2. Sha’s media awareness is terrible. He needs to grow immediately in this area. He can’t isolate the team and his attitude is so childish so often that it’s cringey. This is a problem. The program can’t attract flies right now.

You made a silly false equivalency, and I called you on it. We have midterms in two years and then another president election in four. That’s how it works here. The electorate will have the final say.


We had two bad candidates in this last election. I voted for neither. One ran a campaign, highlighting the border disaster and the illegal alien, drug and human trafficking. The other ran a campaign of doing nothing. And you’re surprised independents (including Hispaniic voters) swung to Trump? Democrats have only themselves to blame for losing this election. Republicans better get their act together and get meaningful legislation passed. History shows they don’t do a very good job of that either. They are on the clock.

You keep presenting this clock. Say 2 bills happen by may/june it is still under 18 months until midterms

Good article by Jerry.

No doubt that this season has affected Shaheen. We know he has an incredible drive to win and will put the time in.

Two things can be true though. He clearly needs support from administration and financially to field a competitive roster. Hopefully this is a wake up call to Hank, the BOR and Administration. $1.5 million is failure in my book, a it’s pretty evident just from what we’ve seen from jcalz’ frustration and the hoops that Mike Walsh had to jump through. The BOR needs to address the financial responsibility or get out of the way.

My sense is that a lot of the stress She is dealing with his self-self inflicted. Time to look in the mirror and do some self reflection. Does he have a trusted group of mentors that he can talk to and truly listen to what they have to say? Is his staff holding him back? I don’t think anyone questions his work ethic, but don’t confuse effort with results? He will be measured on results. The way he is running the team, interacting with supporters, and even the media is troubling. If this message board is shaping some of his views, that’s even worse. He’s being paid a lot and he’s a grown man. He should know better to ignore the noise that comes with the territory.

The “Fire Sha” threads are just dumb and show a complete lack of understanding of the situation SHU is in and the ramifications.

I agree with Piratz on this. It's a learning process and a wake up call for everyone. Any reasonable Hall fan can see it. Sometimes we may see a thread here or there talking about replacing the coach. The truth is there is a very small minority of fans or posters that feel that way. If or when Sha gets this turned around it would be unfair to say The Hall fans wanted him out. Hopefully, with an influx of funds coupled with the New Practice Facility the future will be brighter.

im a sha fan, but this is SOFT. oh no think of the health of the guy getting paid $2.5m

everything SHU is just so tone deaf all the time. lets delete the thread about felt, let's stop posting about the coach. stop posting about the bad players. all of which are paid. and are part of a major college sport. cover up everything, baby everyone, only say yes, pretend it's all good.

just shut up everyone, nothing to see here! attitude starts at the BOR (ex reilly) and trickles through everything.

theres like 3 people calling for sha's job. i think they're stupid, but to ask them to stop is just Grade A insane.

this school and program are doomed.

What makes you think it's just that? The losing is killing him. We in the media see him in the post game after every contest. He looks like he just lost his dog. Money has no bearing on how hard he is taking these losses. The man needs a little understanding and calling for his head is not that.

Come on, Dan. Sha makes $2.5MM. If he can’t handle criticism from some jokers on a message board then how’s he supposed to handle being a Big East head coach?
