Losing to Cal in the tournament (again) still stings, but I see this season kind of like football's disastrous 4-8 season in 2019. The difference is that Shaw has, in my opinion, more than earned the right to correct course. Haase has demonstrated success as a head basketball coach, but it was at UAB, not Stanford.

Having said that, my vote is to give Haase one more year. He has talent coming in. PG Isael Silva is rated higher than Tyrell Terry was. SF Harrison Ingram is rated almost as high as Ziaire Williams, and I have to think we will get more production out of Ingram. SG Jarvis Moss is not highly rated, but we desperately need an outside shooter.

Like in 2019 with football, just about everything went wrong in the last month of this basketball season. Next year will be better with Haase at the helm.

To compare Haase and Shaw is wrong on so many levels.
That lack of comparable success you addressed while still making the jump, but there is another big difference that is material here.

Shaw is an alum and has already shown program loyalty by turning away next level coaching opportunities.   That loyalty to Stanford means he should have some level of loyalty from us to navigate a few tough years.

Does anyone really believe that Haase would stay at Stanford if he took Stanford to the Elite 8 in back-to-back seasons?  Or even one Elite 8 season?

So from my point of view our AD's loyalty to Haase may ultimately get one or two good years, at best.   We have endured a few very disappointing seasons in our pursuit of potentially getting one or two good seasons.
