Since I don't keep up with other schools' coaching searches, was Marshall listed as a candidate for other schools recently? What were their fans saying about him? Do they hate guys that win at mid-majors too? 3/31/2011 11:04:07 PM |

If KenPom matters so much, they are ranked 28th before tonight's game so that will be even higher tomorrow.
http://www.kenpom.com/team.php?team=Wichita%20St.
Alabama, VTech, SDSU, VCU, and UConn were their top 50 teams. They went 2-3. This is a mid-major team competing with majors.

Other schools know where they stand on the totem pole and would feel good about getting Marshall. Definitely the case on the GT boards.
Seriously, the guy would have us getting 10 conference wins consistently WHICH IS WHAT WE SHOULD BE SHOOTING FOR. No one, and I mean NO ONE is going to come to State and start running shit in the ACC immediately. Certainly not Shaka. 3/31/2011 11:05:58 PM |

Well as much as I hate to say it we DO have a place. And right now, it's not the top of the ACC. Some day, yes. But you don't just jump from 5-11 to 15-1 and elite 8's overnight. Doesn't. Happen. 3/31/2011 11:09:06 PM |

So consistently winning 10+ games means not doing it until your 8th season
Unless you count seasons that weren't 10+ wins

Who said our place is the bottom? All I'm saying is do it in steps. Bottom -> 10ish wins consistently (usually good for top 3rd) -> then start trying to go for more. There are no shortcuts to the top, and that's what State fans can't understand. 3/31/2011 11:13:31 PM |

Derp? Yeah it took Herb awhile but 4/5 of his last years were 9+ wins, top 3rd of the conference. CONSISTENTLY. I see NO REASON why Marshall can't do it (and possibly more every now and then) if Herb can.3/31/2011 11:15:01 PM |

Everyone understands that. No one wants Shaka because they think he'll take us to the final four next year. We want him over Marshall because he's at least proven that he can do it. Marshall hasn't even proven that he can get past the first weekend. And at a school that plays in what is usually a decent mid-major conference, Marshall hasn't proven that he can even get to the tournament.
Hire Marshall and in four to five years we're all going to be bitching about not making deep runs, just like with Herb. Hire Smart and he might fall flat, but he's at least shown the ability to do something worth a damn.3/31/2011 11:18:38 PM |

Who gives a fuck if he proves that he can do something worth a damn if he can't do it HERE?
The way I look at it, realistically the best we can get out of Marshall or Shaka in the next 5 years is 10-ish wins and maybe a S16 run. You are dreaming if you think just because Shaka made a F4 once, with a different team means he has any hope of doing it here.3/31/2011 11:21:22 PM |

Marshall looks like he could at least do as well as Herb, so yeah, I think he could. Shaka couldn't do better than 4th and 5th in his conference but hey, a F4 run means he's gonna run shit in the ACC!!!3/31/2011 11:24:07 PM |

because the same players will run marshalls set plays so much better.
pretty much everyone who watched our games said sid had great offensive sets, but the execution by the players was not good.

Does not compute. If the sets are good, the players can run them. You don't make up plays that none of your guys can execute well. This is where coaching is important. Knowing your team and knowing how to use them correctly.3/31/2011 11:26:42 PM |

Honestly, why do you think Shaka will automatically have worse results with different players at State (NCAA run aside) and Marshall will automatically have better results with different players? Granted a lot of the NCAA success is from extremely hot 3 shooting, but Shaka will have a recruiting edge on name recognition alone and his potential is so much higher it's absurd 3/31/2011 11:26:45 PM |
