Fire Shaka Smart

[Firemans4Horn 17,827]

Amazing recruiter. He’s got no idea what’s going on once the ball is tipped. 

[clownin72 194]

I'm good with getting this fucker out of town. Year after year there is no improvement and we have no offensive identity whatsoever. This dude sucks period

[taybo20 2,815]

So much looks similar to the shitty losses we’ve had the past couple years. 

Fucking shooting is still horrendous. 

[Katfid54 8,591]

Let's money whip Chris Beard. How badass would it be to have two great coaches in our main sports who are both Texas Exes. Fuck yes.

What part of what's being said in this thread makes you think ANYONE doesnt see it or wont admit it?

It's going to happen at some point. Just not sure whether this offseason or next.

Tough part is..... Shaka has some great recruits committed for next year, but if performances like tonite continue, they'll be gone..... 

[OU Sucks 8,745]

Can Jerritt Elliott be our interim coach while we look for someone?

this is our concern dude.  

[ATLLonghorn 841]

Here is Texas' 3 point field goal percentage by game this season:

E. Illinois - 32
Arky - 32.3
ULM - 24
Citadel - 28.6
UNC - 45.8
Mich St - 26.5
Radford- 18.5

To the surprise of nobody the Carolina game is an outlier. This was a bad three point shooting team last year. They're still a bad three point shooting team. They do nothing to create offense. This is an ongoing problem and if Del Conte doesn't give a shit then the program is going nowhere.

[Chad 1,728]

This was the equivalent of Rick Barnes losing to Chaminade. I've been saying it for several years Shaka was an overpaid mistake. He has recruited some good talent and done absolutely nothing with it. He's just over .500 at Texas, under .500 in the Big 12 and 0-2 in the tourney, that's pathetic. Patterson made some shitty hires during his brief tenure as AD.

I have faith in CDC. Change may not come as fast as some in here are wanting, but it will occur.

But I'm one of the relatively few faithful basketball fans on here, and we have now approached the point where watching this team is a chore and nothing more, and it's only November. This fucking sucks.

Knowing the talent on this team and Shaka being a decent defensive coach who can get the players up for somewhat-big games, I'm sure we'll be competitive and there will some flashes of hope for the future, whether it's under Shaka or someone else (looking almost certainly like the latter at this point). But it's frustrating to watch what seems to be a trainwreck in slow motion.

Something has to give. 

We can't try to build a new arena off of the trainwreck that is Shaka ball right now.  CDC isn't raising a bulk of the money from Karen's team, although she and women's team are definitely pulling their weight and doing their part. 

 

[Mitch Hedberg 2,090]

Said it last year til I couldn't watch anymore.  No fucking clue of an offense. Stand around, throw up 3s. Gotta go.

Kent State was his Kansas moment. Everything since then has just been delaying the inevitable.

Giving Shaka another year would serve absolutely no purpose.  CDC has been great thus far, but if he gives dipshit another year, it would be a colossal fuckup.  Keeping him this year was a fuckup in and of itself.

Given the Andrew Jones situation and the fact that we still made the tournament, along with the idiotic contract extension Patterson gave him, retaining Shaka after last March was understandable. On top of that CDC joined the athletic department mid-season, and probably wasn't going to rock the boat unless we made a complete mockery of the season (which we didn't).

If we don't progress this year or go in reverse, then there's no reasonable defense for keeping him.

[MonkeyDoughnut 10,141]

So much wasted talent, year after year. I don't have any clue what "type of team" we are supposed to be?

[Newdoc 3,429]

How much money did that charlatan Patterson collect from UT?  He needs to be shaken down for a refund.  There is a decade worth of damage to UT sports from that jackass.

Waiting for camelcunt to weigh in and tell us how we've got it all wrong.

x/post-

The comments from this thread- "what do we do in practice?", "we're 5-25 from deep", "we are terrible at FTs", "this offense is pathetic", "why does shaka keep letting us shoot and miss threes?!", "sims is terrible", "dylan is terrible", "why does DO keep shooting threes?"

 

yeah, that's all we've been fucking saying for this guy's entire tenure at Texas. Nothing changes. We have the e act same problems and shortcomings year after year after year. WUlaw called this more than two years ago, and everything that's happened since then only goes to support his original contention. It has been beyond obvious for a long time- Shaka has been underperforming since his Final 4 run, period. 

[Goo Punch 4,275]

I dare anyone to look at these numbers and continue to support Shaka Smart. Shaka's teams the last three years:

on the bright side, three point shooting has only gotten better and better-

2016: 345th in the country

2017: 321st in the country

2018: 275th in the country, not counting tonight's  5-27 (18.5%)

Edited December 1, 2018 by Goo Punch

[Goo Punch 4,275]

Meanwhile, Nevada has the best offense in the country:



completely stupid that we have so many chicken shit posters who've run in here shitting all over Eric Musselman (this dates back to shaggy) literally just because he's my preferred candidate, yet many of the same people have defended Shaka, and can't even name a single viable alternative to begin with. Stupid.

As i've been saying, Nevada loses their entire team at the end of this year, and Eric Musselman is a badass guy with a great personality, who happens to be known for developing talent and running a high paced, uptempo, exciting offense where everyone can han handle the ball and several guys can shoot. But hey, why even consider that when you can just shit on a guy you know nothing about and say brilliant shit like, "we're too good for him", "only a middling program would consider him", and "if he was so great he wouldn't be at nevada." y'all deserve shaka. this program deserves Musselman.

Is he even available?

[Machinator 32,097]

It's not that I'm against Musselman, it's that I'm not big on talking about potential replacements when there's no sign that we're even looking in their direction. Just sets me up for even more disappointment.

I'm admittedly out of my element in basketball (football and baseball are more my sports), but can't we just get a coach that can run a real half-court offense?  I don't think we've had one since I've been alive.  My concern with a transition-based offense is once you face a top team with good athletes that can run, they will force you to go half court to beat them, and then here we go again playing with our dicks for 30 seconds at the perimeter, throwing up some terrible shot because we don't know what the fuck we are doing.  It's maddening.  

We've been recruiting NBA caliber players for almost 20 years now.  It seems like we can get the players to run a real offense.  Maybe I'm off base though.
