Agree with this as well.Adding to this: Sha also deserves a longer leash than usual in this situation. The reason being that he is the only coach who could potentially stay at SHU for the duration of his career. Anyone else SHU could hire would only view the job as a stepping stone for something bigger and would bail after the first good season.
Sha has been bad this season, real bad. His moneyball approach to the roster failed and this team has not made any identifiable progress as a whole throughout the season. He deserves plenty of criticism but it would be foolish to replace him before his contract is up.
I see Toole is on Jerry’s podcast in honor of a Horizon League title—finally adjusted to moving up to tougher competition. Certainly worth a look now.OK, I’ll throw some suggestions out
Grant B and Donald Copeland, for obvious reasons. Let’s not forget Level Sanders, too.
Don’t think NBA coaches without college experience work well, but I’ll also toss out Mark Bryant and Adrian Griffin for sake of discussion.
Could go back to Iona pipeline with Tobin Anderson.
Jersey Guy Andy Toole has struggled since Robert Morris changed conferences but perhaps worth a look.
Please stop.I see Toole is on Jerry’s podcast in honor of a Horizon League title—finally adjusted to moving up to tougher competition. Certainly worth a look now.
Yeah, I think either him or Pat Kennedy would be great.What about Lou Campanelli?
And, on top of that, he has to read the inane nonsense spewed on this Board.
@MichiganStoleTitle is already doing the legwork. Hopefully our next AD is paying attention.If replacing Sha takes place we can’t think narrowly and just come up with a list of candidates that have a connection to Seton Hall but think out side the box and have a true national search..
Pretty sure I’ve conducted more exhaustive search in this thread than our admin did before it handed job to Sha.@MichiganStoleTitle is already doing the legwork. Hopefully our next AD is paying attention.
Sha was perhaps the easiest no brainer selection in college basketball that year. This board would have exploded if we went and hired a different coach when Willard left. Sha was a pretty hot commodity after his Elite 8 run.Pretty sure I’ve conducted more exhaustive search in this thread than our admin did before it handed job to Sha.
You’re right. It would have. But after 3 years and no tournaments to show for it, the clock is ticking. This is why the “smart” people responsible for making decisions are supposed to look at all of their options. Not just the shiny new toy 15 miles away that shocked the nation with an epic run. Fans are emotional. The administration is supposed to remain neutral during the hiring process. A few people here pointed out that Sha had some glaring flaws at St. Peter’s. Those flaws are now major flaws amplified by playing with the big boys. Sha and everyone else above him has officially messed this up. Enough with his rah-rah quotes. Fix it or get out.Sha was perhaps the easiest no brainer selection in college basketball that year. This board would have exploded if we went and hired a different coach when Willard left.

There were dissenting voices. The choice was an easy one. To suggest it wasn't an easy choice at the time off this season is classic emotional FandomYou’re right. It would have.

If that's legwork then the legs are broken and in casts.@MichiganStoleTitle is already doing the legwork. Hopefully our next AD is paying attention.
