NEW YORK — Carmine's is an Italian restaurant chain with roots in New York City. Its flagship can be found on Manhattan's Upper West Side, but there are locations in Times Square, Las Vegas, Washington D.C. and Atlantic City as well.
HOUSTON, TEXAS - APRIL 01: Associated Press Coach of the Year Shaka Smart of the Marquette Golden Eagles address the media during a press conference ahead of the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament Final Four semifinal games at NRG Stadium on April 01, 2023 in Houston, Texas. NEW YORK — Carmine’s is an Italian restaurant chain with roots in New York City. Its flagship can be found on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, but there are locations in Times Square, Las Vegas, Washington D.C.
Smart, last season's AP Coach of the Year entering his third season at the helm of the Golden Eagles, didn’t mention a single stat, tactic or game plan for a good portion of the day on Tuesday when discussing his four returning upperclassman starters and Joplin, last year’s Big East Sixth Man of the Year and the likely replacement in the starting lineup for Olivier-Maxence Prosper, who went to the NBA after the 2022-23 season.
Putting effort and time into those relationships is why, in an era of college sports where players are weaving in and out of the transfer portal like a New York City yellow taxi through traffic, Smart has been able to keep Marquette’s core intact, returning eight of nine starters, representing nearly 90% of last season’s offensive production.
“It’s something that I’ve done since I played in college and throughout my coaching career. It’s been incredibly beneficial for me, in more ways than one. So, hopefully it will start a habit and pattern with these guys. It’s a chance to get some thoughts out, maybe communicate with yourself a little bit in writing.”
Despite the track record and clear change in measures of success, the players have adopted last season’s belief — or dismissal — of outside expectations. “Culture is the number one driver of anything that we do,” Smart said. “Our guys understanding and buying into how we act, interact and respond — that’s all culture is — is paramount. We walked in here today as six guys who have been together going on three years. There’s no substitute for that.”
