Sha screaming getting old

So say nothing and an introductory PC…has that ever been done in the history of anything?
By nothing I mean no one forced him to use that phrase. There are plenty of other vague platitudes he could have used to express enthusiasm without having it thrown back in his face. You were positing he HAD to see say either this or whatever was your alternative that would have looked stupid.
He said it bc it genuinely means a lot to him. He also spoke of his grandmother passing and being in SHU blue if I recall.
Sha has to reevaluate. He’s had a bad year. The fact we’re this bad is alarming. Keep it at one. But it won’t be for lack of effort and care if it doesn’t work out long term.

The biggest mistakes were letting KR and DD get away and then recruiting a questionable group from the portal outside of Jenkins and Middleton.Once that's done you can't make chicken salad out of chicken s--t.Unfortunately,the ability to improve in the future is debatable given it's the same cook(Sha) and University (SHU).
Impossible to forget that. It was very hard to watch. PJ could be rather volcanic.
PJ did the same thing to Leahy when he didn't box out for a defensive rebound at end of half in BET game at MSG.PJ didn't play favorites and he coached to win.
Ok, let’s not start dumping on PJ. He was an old school coach, not defending all of his behavior. But he brought SHU from the absolute depths to the pinnacle. The best seven year run in modern SHU hoops history.
The question to me is if we could’ve kept one by not worrying about depth. Idk. But Sha was hellbent in depth.
And Richmond was the one. But I don’t think there was any chance.
We missed both and the depth we hired didn't pan out in most cases other than Jenkins and Middleton.So two strikes!

Like I said, the players (many of whom I knew) respected PJ as a coach, but did not like him as a person. [Ex. PJ sees player walking on campus - ignores him, but if PJ with someone else (ex. Recruit) and sees same player he acknowledges his existence]
Regardless of the talent level he can still coach them on defense, passing, running plays etc. Watch sone of the lower division schools with less talent than us - they still run offense, play D, and look smart doing it. And complaining about his players after games not playing D, playing for themselves etc. and saying things are going to change (which we have heard numerous times with nothing changing) does no good other then make him look small and providing excuses for another loss. He actually shrunk his player usage for a few games and things looked a little better. Then he puts 11 guys out there last night in the first half, starts the same center who has given us nothing every game he plays, pulls Aligbe who has seemed to figure some things out the past 2 games, etc etc. it’s like we are playing our first few games and figuring out who can do what - not 16 of them.
you also have to factor in the fact that once a team clearly isn't going to compete the players are going to care exponentially less. and it snowballs. after the OOC players will (rightfully) start trying to showcase themselves. theyre in it for money then winning. and when winning is off the table what else is left? money.
just so happens that the roster construction move for depth, and the flyer players were a fatal combo. and now those players probably only care about themselves.
except for gus.

Maturity—which Sha is not displaying—is not the same as coaching. His play calls are not being followed. If you actually listen to some of his talks in the huddle and see what he’s trying to get them to do on the sidelines, you’d pick up on that.
While I agree his post game histrionics are no becoming, it doesn’t mean he can’t coach.
But you—and other posters—want someone to scream at for this season. You need that validity to blast someone for the frustrations of this year.
That’s fine.
But watch what Sha’s players did the last two years during Big East play and tell me he doesn’t teach.
Some good points but with Aligbe, keep in mind he was in foul trouble in each half.
