    6 year extension?

    It's really inconsequential in my opinion. I think leadership has accepted reality that making the NCAA tournament is no longer a realistic job requirement and the optics of firing Sha would be horrific. I cannot envision a scenario where Sha would be on the hot seat at Seton Hall. We would be...

    Rothstein: Big East Offseason Breakdown

    We are all Seton Hall fanatics so we give the program the benefit of the doubt and view the roster from a glass half full perspective, but objectively speaking this is not a very impressive roster. If this team were compiled at any other school we would be predicting them to finish last or close...

    Way-too-early Big East basketball tiers:

    Due to the dynamics of the game now we will be picked last or near last every pre season. It will be up to Sha to prove them wrong. I think he can do it.

    Interesting from Cap Hill

    The irony of this whole situation is that the loudest voices in the room (coaches) about how this is not sustainable, complete chaos, unhealthy, etc. are the same people that are solely responsible for this. They are the ones offering these crazy contracts luring kids into the portal every year.

    Isaiah Coleman to …

    I appreciate this thread and always find it interesting to see where our former players land. Epecially Coleman because there were such heated debates between the low IQ and high IQ fans on whether or not we should retain him. Water always finds its level, and I feel this validates the high IQ...

    Is Seton Hall better off with yearly free agency?

    Not only is Seton Hall worse off in yearly free agency, but an argument can be made that no other program in the nation has been hit harder by annual free agency. It will take catching lightning in a bottle for seton hall to have any meaningful success going forward. People point to last year...

    Is Big East Best for SHU into the future?

    That's enough internet for the day.

    Hines Instagram

    It's possible to be successful with a lower budget but I don't think it's possible with Sha's coaching/roster construction philosophy.

    The biggest overachiver in the conference this year is

    Based on this tweet seems like $6M was bare bones minimum needed to field roster last off cycle. Insane.

    The biggest overachiver in the conference this year is

    That makes sense SEC schools offered that because based on reports that would be market value for a player of his caliber (which was basis for my post).

    The biggest overachiver in the conference this year is

    At the practice facility ribbon cutting ceremony one of our coaches told me schools are spending $14M in nil. At the time I shrugged it off as an excuse/false sense of reality because reports were most schools were in that $8M range. Fast forward to today and I think he was spot on. I’ve heard...

    The biggest overachiver in the conference this year is

    Well the reason I think those quoted numbers make sense is for a couple reasons. 1. a few weeks ago Rick Pitino suggested that BigEast schools should be spending a *minimum* of $9-$11M on payroll. If you’re suggesting that’s the *floor* it’s reasonable to assume you’re spending materially more...

    The biggest overachiver in the conference this year is

    Numbers I quoted were told to me by our athletic dept. nova 12, St. John’s 16.

    The biggest overachiver in the conference this year is

    I don't want this to sound like sour grapes, but it's important to put things into context. Nova spent $12M on this roster (per our Athletic Dept). Congratulations to Willard and Nova on a successful season, but your payroll is roughly double most the competition. This isn't rocket science -...

    OT: Miami (OH) AD

    I will preface this by saying I would rather see Miami of Ohio in the field over another 8-12 high major team, but they didn't make a legitimate effort to build a resume. They scheduled three D2 opponents in their OOC. Their overall SOS overall is ~300. Are they legit? Maybe, but we will never...
