Can someone repost the screen shot from the IU board after our win there earlier this season? I was wanting to show someone about how bad things had gotten there.

He strikes me as a good man. Hate to see someone like that leave like this.

beard at UM would be bad for us too
Since when do people just quit?
You've failed. Take your lumps, and step down at the end of the year.

And yet they hired Davis, Miller, Crean, Woodson, Alford.
Terrible judge of coaching. Don't know if they have the smarts to realize Beard is greater than May. I think the donor base wants May due to him being from Indiana and to fleece a conference foe. Blinders on.

Sounds like a "booster firing" if I ever saw one.

Please stay.
only thing surprising in that tweet is the word 'contemplating'
As someone who made their bones on this board (as a lurker) during the coaching search after Bruce got canned, its wild to me that Shaka/his wife thought he was too good for Illinois at that time, but now wants to stay at Marquette as a lifer. No disrespect to MU but still....
Aging 12 years and having a kid can wildly alter your expectations and goals.
Pitino wouldn’t leave St. John’s at this point … He’s got it rolling and has just as much NIL as Indiana does … Living in NYC … What’s the incentive to go to Bloomington, Indiana where he will never be “the guy” … It’ll always be Knight …
Shaka does better when it’s just basketball … At Texas or Illinois for example … You have to be more than just a ball coach … Most of these coaches don’t enjoy that … Some tolerate it … Some love it … But the majority hate it …

Sometimes, the right fit is everything. Shaka also went through a rough stretch at Texas and was kind of put through the ringer there. He's adored at Marquette and has a great program there.
Sometimes, grass isn't anywhere close to being greener on the other side. He's making good money in a program where he's the main attraction for the university and seems to be really happy there. Good for him, and it seems like it would be a pretty big risk moving away from that.
please do elaborate one what that entails?
The more $$ they pay him to leave, the harder he'll contemplate....
Was never gonna be Chester … Him leaving freed up the $$$ and spot for OA return …
But to go from … OA, TA, Geoff, Tyler, Hamer …
To … OA, Geoff, Tyler, Hamer, Kwa Jones …
With Tyler & Hamer running the show on offense
and defense …
Unacceptable …

Exactly!!!
What are the odds that at least 2 of Kwa, Hamer, or Tyler are gone?
