The name means nothing to me. Just give me someone with some basketball knowledge, some character, and some fire, i.e. a clone of Skip.
Shaka gets paid 1.2 million dollars a year.
Can we offer enough money, and are we an attractive enough job for him to leave VCU? I highly doubt it.
I'm sure he's biding his time until an elite program comes calling.

I don't think Shaka will work for Wellman so I would be happy with Jeff Battle all things considered.
With the new tv deal money we'll be getting, we should be able to double or triple that kind of money for a basketball coach. But I'm not sure we would.
We had players accused of rape on national Tv. I think the coaching fraternal would take that into consideration.
And Wellman waited a year later to let him go?
Who is the AD who makes the hire- Wellman? Probably someone like Mike Young, the coach at Wofford. Or Robbie Laing at Campbell. We're not going to get any of the hot coaches that everyone is talking about. Just look how well the last search went. A guy who was on no one's radar and finished last, last, and eighth in the Big 12 became our coach. What a resume. I'm just glad he brought his unbelievable "system" (a modified version of the Princeton offense that was a thing of beauty if I recall- at least that's what I was told on the old board) to Winston- at a cost of around a million dollars per year. That's the thing about Bz- he teaches the fundamentals.
Who cares at this point? I'm not interested in derailing another thread with this same argument.
I disagree that coaches will refuse to work for Wellman and I'll leave it at that.
Because the coaching frat. doesn't go by that pr bs. They see that Wellman appointed Dino then fired him after winning an NCAA game for not winning enough meaningless Acc tourney games to keep the fatcats happy and having toomany players with tats.
