    I liked Simpkins and hoped he would have returned. I wish him well.

    I'm not sure I would sign off on a GM. Sha clearly has a type. I'd hire a young coach breaking into the business and have him watch games, putting together a highlight reel for players that fit Sha's profile type. Sort of how I outsourced my Tinder. Anyway, Sha works from that list to pursue...

    Big East needs to expand…….

    The answer is not more teams; we need football. The BE needs the schools to start up their football programs.

    Willard Special

    This post made me feel sad. The haters, so to speak, have always been here. The difference is you are older now and many of the people you are yearning for are literally dead and buried. They are not being replaced by a younger generation. We are running out of people on Piratecrew.

    Willard Special

    The in-game interview with Shehadi was vintage hilarious Willard. (your humor mileage may vary) The post-game was angry Willard. He should not have repeated the "firing my staff" in that tone, so he gets the criticism he deserves. I am grateful for what Coach Willard accomplished while he was...

    Steve Lutz addresses suspensions of three Oklahoma State players in NIT

    Why is this even a discussion? I wish Coleman the best but there are dozens of comparable D1 players available. Sha & company need to evaluate those guys

    Seton Hall Declines Postseason

    Thank God we're done. Cam Boozer is playing because it's in his best interest to do so. The Pirates are not because it was in their best interest not to. Everyone's a winner.

    Seton Hall Declines Postseason

    You already know the answers. First, as you helpfully pointed out, these are not employees. You can't just order them. You can fire them, but the season is over and they've been paid. You can sue them on the theory that since the wording is vague as to the season ending timetable, they violated...

    Seton Hall Declines Postseason

    I agree. Sponsors should protect their interests as well. This is strictly business and you are taking this very, very personally. No, I have not read an NCAA athlete contract, but I have a sneaky suspicion you plan to enlighten me.

    What does success look like in the 26-27 SHU season?

    No worries. The days of building a program are over. We will have 8-12 new faces next year. This year, Shaheen took an entire roster of new faces, got them to buy in, play their hearts out, and make it to the NCAAT bubble. That's the formula and it is difficult to replicate year after year. The...

    Seton Hall Declines Postseason

    If Cam Boozer skips the NCAA Tournament, I wouldn't bat an eyelash. Guys have been doing it in football for a generation. It would only feel different because we're not used to it in basketball. If Duke voted not to participate, I'd be shocked but I'm still entering my Bracket. If the NCAA...

    What does success look like in the 26-27 SHU season?

    The NCAA Tournament is always my pre-season answer. Post Season can vary. I viewed this season as a success.

    Seton Hall Declines Postseason

    You are 100% correct. They are not employees; they would receive a 1099. Accuracy is important. I have no issue with players making a lot of money and setting their own post season schedule. I am amused that Fox Sports has to sell America on the concept of Rutgers as a viable post season team. I...
