Just A Rumor Right Now-Mark Turgeon May Be Done At Maryland

[SheriffBufordTJustice]

We will see what happens.

If Greg Brown is smart enough to stay another year they most likely will be at top of the Big 12 again fighting for a high seed.

They will need a couple of transfers.

Problem is people allow one game to determine their opinion of a coach.

If Shaka won that game he would have been alright....

That game didn't change my opinion of the situation at all. I have explained this numerous times.

Shaka is the coach for now unless there is a better option.
Players want to play for him and there is belief that Shaka can get better.

He is pretty young and there are moments that make you think he can be an elite coach.

We will see.

I told you before the season that nothing short of a final four run would change my opinion of Shaka, and maybe not even that, given the talent/experience he was working with.

Abilene changed nothing. Just further confirmation.

People are talking about Royal Ivey.

Ivey was one of my favorite players. Top 5 defensive players all time in the Big 12. Learning a lot from Steve Nash.

But I don't see him as this drastic improvement.

We will wait and see how everything turns out.
Best to stay patient.

People didn't believe he was good enough...
Didn't help Illinois State at all.

This is all about knowing the coach and understanding the program.

More than wins and losses. Hard for people who aren't around the program to make a decision.

So he didn’t win enough.

So, you're saying there is an element of luck in the tournament? And maybe we should look at the totality of a coach's performance? Interesting. Seems like you were singing a different tune a few months back...

Do you understand why I don't look at regular season.
I look at post season success

Regular season basketball for the most part isn't the same because a lot of times you don't have two teams in the same place.

Tournament basketball is different. Both teams have that urgency and have to win.

You have this idea that winning in the NCAA Tournament is a fluke.

I don't.

You continue to bring up the regular season.

Regular season would be a fluke.
NCAA Tournament isn't

I don't even look at the regular season when judging coaches

Some of you are attempting to make excuses for your teams losing in the NCAA Tournament.

That is fine. If you want to bang your chest about regular season success.

This was well done.

I don't know why he's getting worked up about regular season vs. postseason success, it's not like Shaka has had either at Texas.

 

[hailtoyourvictor]

Disagree...

Plus that narrative is already out there.
Especially with bigs. Going to put two more in the NBA.
Jones and Sims.

I get it. You don't like Shaka. You don't think he is a good coach.
But people don't listen to that masses on the message boards.
They are too reactionary.

Do you still think Shaka is a top 10 coach?

Ive never witnessed a guy take so many shots to the nuts. This time he did it to himself! @SheriffBufordTJustice ---What do you have to say for yourself? When is the last time you didnt have your foot in your mouth and your head up your ass?

We all say things that we regret on here...but man thats quite a list.

Mods hate it when we use the report button, but....

 

[ExitFlagger]

I'm guessing he'll make a quiet exit from this thread after reading that post. 😆

I normally don't go after posters, but Sheriff brings it on himself. He speaks definitively and ignorantly out of both sides of his mouth. You can't be ignorant and speak down to people at the same time. Add that up with the delusion of Shaka Smart being a good coach, and it becomes quite amusing.

Sheriff: Shaka actually sucks thank god he is gone in 3.....2.....

 

[ExitFlagger]

He took the "only the postseason matters" approach this year because, since there wasn't a postseason last year and Texas played slightly better down the stretch, he thought he could make a believable case that they'd have made a run with the opportunity. And then, of course, this was destined to be the tourney that Shaka had been building toward since he took the job. If they'd made a deep run this year, he'd say it all worked according to plan.

Now.....

uh.....

Watch Turgeon end up at Texas

Watch Turgeon end up at Texas

Probably a good fit, more resources and less pressure. Shit if they are happy with Shaka, they should be thrilled with Turge. He can actually win a game in the tournament.

 

[SpartanJD]

Turgeon could never get Maryland over the hump

Sheriff: We’re going to get Beard and everyone knows that Beard>>>>>>>>>Shaka

Beard would be a hell of a hire by UT and he did go there. Maybe they could fall up.

From maybe fired to extended, congrats @bMORE607
