The seat is getting hot in Austin again. Could USF be the benefactor of UT's impatience? Smart has ties to the area and would be a great coup for USF athletics.

Did his getting that Technical make you think he's feeling the pressure.  Or was it that total missed call?

Hope Bob Huggins is okay. Looked like he had trouble getting up from his knees and holding his chest as he walked back toward the bench. Announcer said he has some history of heart issues.

Shaka was my first choice before Masiello

Hopefully we can find a way to snag him.

Sigh. What a genius call. I'd be willing to give Coach K a chance too if he wants to finish off his career by the beach.

:-P

Annual salary $3,000,000 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaka_Smart

Do we know if Texas has a similar contract with him like they did with Strong? And what about their plans to fire him?

If both are, yes, then let's double up on our recent acquisition via the Texas Banking & Loan program.

Not sure if Shaka can handle a major job like USF. He is a great midmajor coach but has yet to show us that he can win at a major school in a major conference like the AAC.

He is not leaving or getting fired from Texas.  He has a top recruiting class coming in, with one of the best point guards in the country.  He will get one more year for sure.

He's got a depleted roster and is in his second year. He's not going anywhere.

Even if they can do him, a NC State or other p5 program would jump all over him
