Thank you @Halldan1 we all appreciate what you do for the site. Don't let 1 bad apple get you down!

He's not gonna be "broke" here...... Jay Wright turned down everybody because he was comfortable where he was .......
Sha has a personality trait a small % of people have and that is loyalty. Just like there were yearly posts each April about all the schools contacting Jay Wright ( oh no the BE is doomed) , you guys need to stop getting your panties up your butt over tweets. It's what happens EVERY April and we should just appreciate the fact that other programs want our coach.
He's not a bad apple. But to go to that length and then see how many people liked the post is frustrating.
I'm trying to enjoy a Sunday afternoon at home with Hallrox and I had to read the above and then make a bunch of phone calls to see if anything changed.
No one wants to be bothered with those type of calls on a Sunday. Made me feel like a jerk reaching out to them.
i said sha was going to get major looks. cant imagine 2 years not making the tournament at seton hall makes him a hotter candidate than taking st. peter's to the elite 8. if he's getting looks now he got looks then.
Good try but false
Stick to taking personal shots at players
And declaring us dead in game threads about 5 min after tip
That’s your wheel house around here
First two are not ready, 3rd is too old and then LOL let’s hire the guy who sucked at Manhattan hahahahahahaha
- No comparison between Copeland's resume & Holloway's when we hired him.
- Louisville hasn't been a top 10 program in over a decade.
- Way too early to claim boy were they wrong.
Can you please explain how a team can underperform but exceed expectations?
I never said this year's team underperformed. The bar is now much lower than it was 2 years ago. If you think getting an NIT bid 2 years in a row is reason to celebrate then by all means go ahead.
I love Sha and think he is the right coach for the school.
To be objective, he is not perfect. He dropped a F Bomb during a press conference. The team got blown out a bunch of times this season and did not make the tournament in either of his 2 seasons (we should have this year but outside looking in, we still didn’t). He needs to develop a better public speaking presence as the face of the school, in time that will improve.
He can coach, that is clear. The kids respond to him, they play hard and he won games against 2 of the current sweet 16 (and a 3rd with a better whistle against Creighton). Player development is obvious and so is finding talent to fit his style.
But, He cannot truly complain about the initial NIL efforts by his good friend. the school responded with more speed than previously and appears to have the internal structure moving in the right direction. I would still like to see a professional fundraising team hired to support Mike McBride, and to build upon the current efforts of the alumni volunteers. But progress is being made, and Coach has to see that.

good try but true. stick to disparaging our coach. im glad your fake girls highschool JV coach friend heard that people don't like Sha, but its looking like Blue Bloods do.
Not sure how the seasons were underperforming. By any measure this year was a success even if we do not win another game.
Per a UL Source, the Indiana St coach may now be the favorite but Shaheen is still in the mix.......
The NIL situation needs to be addressed. 800k, if what is rumored is accurate, is less then some local Mid Majors. That is on us the fans and the admin. The fact that we are having this discussion about our Coach who is one of the programs most favorite sons in the modern era taking another job, is pathetic.
The school admin and fan base need to do some serious soul searching about if major sports is what we want to be a part of or if we should fold up shop.
Shout out to Halldan for all he does, without him and a few others, our pathetic NIL would be microscopic......
🙏 that the rumors of congress stepping in and putting a cap and rules on NIL and the transfer portal happens and happens ASAP.

Really really great to see you posting! Miss you around here. All great points.
Miss you here and on the Trove big guy.
That's the figure I had heard, but as I posted on the Trove we are now well past that number but still far short of our target of $1.5m. We've got to keep helping the Mikes, Walsh and McBride. Each of whom is doing a fabulous job.
Sha would be silly to not look at the Job and he would be silly to not take it if offered. If they are going to pay him 2-3 million more a year- I don't care who you are but you are highly unlikely to turn that down. Its a once in a lifetime opportunity. I have no idea how much we pay him but gonna guess that Louisville can easily double his salary.
Also, he is following an awful coach- if he is even mediocre he gains goodwill from the fans.

My source says Wade isn't getting hired by UL, they don't want skeletons in the closest.
As of now at least
They wouldn't even pay May 3.75M which is much less then a 2-3M raise for Shaheen. I can tell you, UL isn't paying Shaheen 5M. If he left, it would all be about NIL money.
He’s actually a coach at Miami and u didn’t say didn’t like..they didn’t/don’t think his approach can work it’s different
You’re a joke again leave the board
Always wondered if the devils, prudential and even the city of Newark can kick in to the NIL collective .
Our success means more revenue for them 15 or 16 nights a year..

Oh and to call them, as they stand now as a blue blood is ridiculous, also he is pretty far down on their list as a back up to the back up to the back up
BUT I can see it because, EXACTLY like Willard, people’s perception of us is so low that the face that we are not DePaul literally every year gets people’s antennas up automatically. So, to his credit he had a very good season with an average team and since people think it’s a borderline miracle we win any games..he’ll get attention
How much nil have you given? I’m up to $150 (which is peanuts) but I’ll get to $300 before year end..what are you up to?
Look at what Michigan paid the new coach, no way he gets that much $$…and I don’t think good will exists anymore anywhere…in 3 years if he’s not a s16/e8 pressure is on
This could be a strategy of his to shake up his current bosses at SHU to wake up..which is pretty smart imo
Coaches leaving for a bigger payday and having greater financial resources available to them is nothing new and we should not be surprised by the interest in Sha and his listening to offers to coach else where. The big issue I personally see is there are not a lot of viable candidates that would excite the fan base and keep our momentum going and going after a former SH player who is not ready would be a mistake.
It would be soul crushing to lose Sha. You can’t replace him you’re right
Might be a dumb question but can NIL money come from outside of donors? Why are we not able to take a portion of ticket sales or build in a fee that goes towards this NIL pool of money or thinking outside of just straight donations. Maybe advertisement deals going towards this fund etc.
The university cannot contribute to NIL. It’s not permitted.
With all due respect, you and Mike Walsh do a hell of a lot more for our NIL than I have seen from anyone at the university, including Mike McBride. About 99% of the NIL information I see asking for donations, etc. is from this message board. The university has to do much better and cast a much wider net for donors.
