I hope the longhorns burn to the ground. Such a toxic shithole.

How did it go so wrong for Shaka at TX?

I'm guessing Shaka and Texas were ready to go their separate ways, because Texas could easily outbid Marquette if they wanted to keep him.

Wasn't there some kind of rule change a few years ago that made it really difficult to play their Havoc defense that was so effective at VCU?

Texas will keep hiring and firing coaches in all sports and wonder why they can't consistently win. Such unbridled (and unwarranted) arrogance.

In this sport though, Texas has only made 2 coaching changes within like the last 25 years.

And the Big East is sneaky great. Has 2 NCs in the last 5 years and more teams in the 16 this year than the B1G and Big 12.

Smart getting out before Texas gets rid of him
Flamed out of this year's tourney
Will lose his best player to NBA
He was on the hot seat and may not have survived after next year anyway
This gives him a clean start at a rebuild without pressure of Texas

no way saying it isnt, but Texas is one of the hardest places to coach, and Marquette just wants to beat Wisky.

Also just added UConn back. With the right coach, they can obviously make Final Fours.

So untrue. Marquette spends a shite ton of money on their basketball program.

Good move for Shaka. May be a better fit for him.


Texas is basically a terrible fit for everyone.
