eh, kind of think a lot of his complaints are overblown. They're complaints that are completely dwarfed by wins and losses.
OK, the gear isn't that nice,
i haven't seen an interview with the new players,
nobody cares if the team is 8-0 and ranked right now, just win
the problems with the program begin and end with 3 horrible losses..
would trade a million ugly quarter zips and promotional nights for a ranked team.

Most are really spot on but I'm tired of hearing the ignorant Corey Lowery high school principal garbage. He was not a high school principal when hired by Sha/Seton Hall. He was coming off a 2-year stint as head coach at Lincoln University (certainly a much lower level) with a record of 21-10. Prior to that he was a JUCO coach with a record of 245-63, 152-19 in-conference.
I'm not saying he should be on the staff of a high major program but he is a good basketball guy. Just tired of all the agenda-driven misinformation. You don't do yourself any favors by lying about him and disrespecting Shaheen.
A big miss, IMO, which they also just re-upped on long term, is outsourcing the revenue generating departments.
And they're not alone! Many colleges do the same thing because they want to focus on athletic administration and not be bothered with the business side of the athletic department.
This is no criticism of Learfield employees working at SHU - they're great. But they can be just as great as SHU employees without the vendor taking a cut of ticket and sponsorship sales.
It's not all bad, I'm sure there's a risk mitigation element to the contract, but it also caps potential upside and IMO this is an aspect of the business they should want full control of.

Just get some players who can shoot the ball please, try starting with foul shouting. The rest will fall into place. If you can’t shoot fouls you just can’t shoot. It’s not a novel approach . Please consider a basic concept.
I noticed this in Charleston. During pre game warm ups and especially getting ready for the start of the 2nd half, players on the other teams went to the foul line to take a couple of FTs. Not once did I see a SHU player take a FT during warm ups. A big deal, who knows but it seems to indicate that despite what the coaches say, the players don’t properly value what it takes to get better from the stripe.
Our warm up routine has always stunk. No structure to it. After watching Gonzaga warm up when they kicked our ass in Arizona I was so impressed and then watched them take us to the woodshed. Not sure when our coaches will wise up and put some structure around warm-ups. It provides discipline and develops skills.
In fairness, we shot free throws really well last year. And Sha has commented in the past how many free throws he has the guys take in practice.
In the end, Sha is our guy. He will figure it out. For him to become a head coach at a major program during this tumultous time along with our schools NIL shortcomings, there is going to be a learning curve. Trust me, if he left, we would be so screwed. I am very confident in him. He has shown me too much over the last 3 years to lose confidence in him.
Hopefully he is beginning to realize that he can't have just defensive guys, as there is no time for development any more. He is going to need to save up some NIL money for a bucket getter.
