our three starting senior guards combined for 18 turnovers that night and shaka did nothing. zero adjustments, zero benchings, just kept watching them throw the ball away every other time down the court.
greg brown, our second leading rebounder and taller than ACU’s starting center, played six minutes, went 1-1 (a three) and then was benched by shaka for personal reasons and never returned to the game.
jericho sims went 3-3 in the opening 90 seconds, played 30 more minutes and never took another shot against the ACU team that had less size than most dallas area 6A high schools. shaka just sat and watched as sims, who may as well have been shaq vs those ACU players, was ignored the entire rest of the night while our guards shot 10-29 from the field.
shaka smart is an abject moron whose entire career is built on talking a great game to the right people. to be a supporter of one of his teams is to be driven mad. rodney terry’s offense has objectively sucked at times this year, and that is frustrating. but there is nothing that RT’s teams do that comes close to reaching the levels of drive-you-mad ineptitude which inevitably define every important shaka smart loss, and even many of his team’s wins.
