Anyone who declares themselves “quite funny” likely isn’t that funny.  Funny people don’t need to advertise that they’re funny.
He named himself after Voldemort’s pet snake. I’m sure he’s the life of every party.

It has been pointed out that my name is the same as a Harry Potter character but perhaps if you used some deductive reasoning you'd notice the use of capitalization in my name..........It's my last name spelled backwards - Finigan - as I don't like to hide behind anonymity. But if you want to think it's an homage to a fantasy story about wizards, go ahead and expose the sh*t out of your world perspective.

It's a shame we didn't get him sooner. Wojo's leash was extended too long. But not was the right time, so I'm happy. Shaka is very likable. When I compare his presser to Wojo's my first thought is he's more natural and relatable in the way he speaks. Very articulate. I think he possesses a demeanor great for teaching. Feeling great about the new era of Marquette basketball.

Yep. Should last for at least 2 more days.

If I were in charge, Wojo would've been fired after the 18-19 late season collapse/Hauser debacle. In retrospect, making the move any sooner than it was probably takes us out of the running to get our current coach, who is probably the best possible fit for this job.

I'm glad we were patient, though I damn sure didn't feel that way 2 weeks ago.

I think Nate Oats would have been our coach if we fired Wojo then.

You're probably right, and I'm fairly sure I would have been happy with that outcome.

This one feels different than what that would have been though.  This is a paradigm shift hire, unlike any that MU has ever made in program history.  Like Goose said, we've never gone all-in like this before.  Oats would probably have been a very solid hire, I feel like this has potential to be significantly better than just solid.  And two years ago, this wouldn't have happened.

I would suggest that the Kevin O'Neill hiring was as much paradigm shifting as this hire.  Perhaps even moreso.

We went from hiring either internal candidates or head coaches from smaller Catholic schools to hiring the hot, young assistant from one of the best basketball programs in the country.  I remember feeling very surprised by that hire at the time.  It didn't seem like a very Marquette move.

I have not felt similarly about a hire until last week.

The KO hire was out of character for MU and really happened because the ship was sinking. I think the Shaka hire is similar in nature. MU needed to make a big move and change the course of the program quickly.

Agreed.  I look at how MU handled this versus how DePaul is flailing around (again) and I am grateful for the decisions leadership made in the last week.

Can't judge this until the season starts and we see Shaka's televised cuddles. Everything depends on those. Everything!

Dodds asked a question in the zoom call presser. 

MUScoop should have had a representative.

"I have a question in 9 parts.  Feel free to phrase your answer in haiku style:

1. Will you be practicing slaps of five?
2. What is your username on Scoop?  And your wife's?
3. What's your take on recruiting traditional players?  You know, traditional?
4. What can we expect to see when TV is broadcasting your game huddles?
5. How awesome is Arby's, like really awesome, or beyond awesome?
6. When should the Scoop intelligencia get their pre-game advice to you?
7. How many years does it take to evaluate a head coach?  The answer is five.   So, five, right?
8. Have you ever driven an ATV, and what size karate outfit do you wear?
9. Who is evil and must be destroyed?
