When Shaka wins the MNC then you can begin to compare Shaka to Mack Brown.
Shaka is not a very good offensive coach. Why do I say this? Because his teams have struggled offensively over the years. And his teams have struggled mightily to win a game in the NCAA March tourney.
What we say complaining about how he underuses big men, doesn't run enough plays, pick and rolls and motion, and that when the games get tight he often does too and so do our players. In tight games our guards typically dribble too much, play one on one too much. That being said Ramey and Coleman are having their best years by far right now.
That 2nd half collapse against ttu was painful to watch. But your posts noting that ttu is a very good team, plays great--really great--defense is very valid. Shaka is going to have to STEP UP and coach his team to continue to play team ball with motion, passes and plays down low. Especially against great defense.
No one roots for Shaka more than me. He has a great team now. I hope he can move on from the tough loss and make a super run from here on out.
