Well listening to Sha speaking about it when it happened, it sounded like he found out within hours of game time. Extremely odd even by seton hall standards. I mean didn’t they practice between games? He wasn’t injured during practice. Again beyond odd and seton hall has set the bar high on odd behavior over the years.
My read on the situation is that Shaheen wants to build the toughest team in the league and becomes frustrated when guys do things that conflict with the mission. I view Sha calling Kadary "general soreness" similar to Pitino calling his guys "slow laterally." Two passive aggressive ways to express frustration with a team's lack of toughness.
Did Willard get lucky twice or is it that maybe he’s actually a good coach?
You may be right about the wording, but not knowing he was out until an hour before the game is very bizarre. People love the honesty of Sha, but honesty can be curse too. I mean blaming the schedule would've been a better option than having people ask how do you not know your star player is out until an hour before the game. Sounds like we didn't gameplan at all without Kadary. A lot of people called BS when I think Cam Reddish decided last minute he wasn't playing in a game. No issue with people calling BS on this too.
i thought it was dickie v when he was coaching detroit. someone told the ncaa about an infraction i remember as meaninless. and glenn was suspended for the last few games of the 74-5 season.
This. A very odd situation to not have your best, All-BE player and not be prepared for it? And Sha either assumed or hoped or figured Richmond would play then got caught bc we lost at home to Providence and his explanation made Richmond look soft. It also spurred all the NIL/transfer talk.
