Kolek planning to go pro
No one asked because we lost. But in the context of an abysmal multi-faceted meltdown a head scratching foul is just a cog in a much bigger gear.
So Wojo said the last time he looked MU was down by two.You mean he didn't look at scoreboard the whole second half?MU was not behind the whole second half until he decided to foul and give Butler the lead.His defense philosophy is a another topic.Change defenses or double Baldwin and get the ball out of his hands.Make someone else beat you.Elementary.
This. Crean would have thrown up some pr crap to confuse his bad decisions and Buzz would have gone into full hunker down mode. Both also made plenty of in-game errors.That said, especially for an emotional game coach like Wojo who is dug in on his systems, this is on his staff for not setting this up in the huddle right before on situationals. It’s an opportunity improvement area, and honestly owning up to those mistakes is critical for change.
LOL Mick Cronin just got called for a technical for having 6 men on the court. It wasn't just a guy standing on the court. 6 guys were out on the floor playing at the same time.
I haven't seen this brought up much since the end of the game. What exactly are the roles of the half-dozen assistant coaches during the game? I certainly don't give those guys a free pass here. Plenty of blame to go around.
Disagree.When I played and when my kids played, I had respect for coaches who admitted mistakes. And as a coach myself now, I have had two occasions on which I admitted to mistakes. I genuinely think it gave me credibility -- we're human, and we all make mistakes -- brought the team together and made us better. After one of those admissions, we went on to win the league title; after the other, we got to the title game.Having said all that ...It was a bad mistake by Wojo.Even worse was letting Baldwin get to the same spot on the floor time and time again. It was disappointing to lose a game we had
Firing not enough for Wojo.Flog him on the public square. Then shoot him. Then flog him again. Then shoot him 3 more times.Because if there's one thing Kobe's helicopter crash taught us, it's that nothing is more important than a Marquette basketball game.
Wojo clearly fooked up but the funny thing is it ultimately had no bearing on the end of the game. Butler had ball in a tie game they were gonna run the clock out n win or tie. Sure it took a Koby three, but regulation ended in a tie. Much ado about nothing really. MU lost because we couldnt get stops n defensive rebounds and couldnt execute offensively during the last 5 minutes.
A lot of Wojo hate here. He's our coach. Deal with it.
Nobody expects him to be fired. But people are clearly frustrated with the lack of progress and post season success.
Complaining about lack of post season success in the middle of a season is crazy. That is an argument for the off season.
Five years. No tournament wins. That is longer than any post-Dukiet coach has gone without winning a game in the tournament.
