Sha is not without blame here. How he and his staff went about roster building and assessing talent is a big issue. I see mid-major guards routinely dominating ours, for example.
But I agree the school's leadership got us into this mess. They had no plan in place and actively worked against embracing NIL. For years we've been sitting here lamenting the fact that SHU was doing nothing. No communication on NIL, no marketing, nothing. It took Eric Liebler volunteering to get them moving and then our fellow poster Mike Walsh here doing fan support. Willard knew this. That's how you go from being a program coming off 7 years with 6 NCAA Tournament teams without a losing conference record to the worst team in 40+ years in the span of 3 years.
