Other Demands?
« on: April 07, 2014, 04:23:24 PM »
Was there ever a list of MUScoop demands that was shown to the potential coaches during our coaching search?  Maybe that's why Shaka backed out last second, and Howland never got a serious look?  Was Wojo the only one man enough to take it on?  Or was it not shown to him?  If not, is it too late now?  If he does not agree, can we can him and go for Ollie, Doc, Dixon, or Calhoun?

So far I've got:
- Must immediately, before thinking about his family, living situation, coming to Milwaukee, or anyone else, decide that Ahmed Hill is the absolute priority and fly out to GA to visit him and make sure he is coming along to Milwaukee for his introductory press conference.
- Must land Stone.
- Must make Ellenson a priority.
- Must pass up on Noskowiak, he's overrated.
- Must let go of Pierce and Shayok, they're not worth anything.
- Must play freshman.
- Must let go of Juan and Derrick.
- Must keep JJJ and STJ.

What other demands do we need to hand over to Wojo, Scoopers?

- Must get Mayo to stand still during interviews because, according to this board, that was so embarrassing for the University that it will cause our US News ranking to tank.

Don't agree with the Nick Nos demand but must grill a good brat, fry his own cheese curds, and be able to drink a 40oz of beer for every breakfast.  Also he must be willing to get blue dye directly inserted into his blood so that he doesn't bleed red just as an added commitment against the badgers.

- Must bring over awesome assistants while retaining some old staff for continuity and diversity of viewpoints
- Must indicate assistants now for Scoop board but not name them so they can recruit during quiet period
- Must come up with new intro music
- Must come up with new floor design
- Must retain Buzz's Bunch
- Must retain BBQ

Technically your blood is greenish blue until it's exposed to higher concentrations of oxygen outside the body.  Hence, the greenish/blue color of veins on your body.

isn't the originated blood red? but in any case then he must never bleed so that he never actually bleeds red.

Also, sticking Derrick Wilson on the end of the bench should be added to this list due to Ners alone.
Shut this board down at the opening tip.  If they win, open it back up.  If they lose, keep it shut it down until the next morning.  - Sultan of Slurpery

What the hell's this bullsh1t? The new coach is expected to frequent this board. Regularly. And often. And as we get into the season I would expect this to be an essential part of his game planning. How else can he expect to find success but through the collective genius that is Scoop?

Probably should replace brat with Polish sausage.

- Base all of your minute allocation and starting rotation on the player's one good game.
- Play all 13 scholarship players for no less than 20 minute stretches so we can ensure they got a good run and can be accurately evaluated by Scoopers
- Every practice should be nothing but free throw shooting
- Play every player max minutes unless we determine they suck.  Then they should sit at the end of the bench, be booed if they move, and have rotten vegetables thrown at them while wearing badger uniforms.
- Choose your assistants from those people with in depth basketball knowledge.  Minimum two years of rec league and at least one year babysitting kids at summer camp.
- Be able to do all press conferences in Haiku

What other demands do we need to hand over to Wojo, Scoopers?
Your post is wrong on all accounts:
Hill: Wojo applied for the job. In todays world, hitting the floor running is important. Nobody said he should not think of his family, but you. He should be thinking about his living situation, but can still make time to talk to recruits. Again, that is part of the hire expectations. That is what he gets paid a boatload of money for. We are in the second week of his hire. Hill should be his #1 priority after shoring up the current players. Wrong in this analysis.
Stone: He was and is a must land. Nothing new here.
Ellenson: Should be a priority, but have not seen "demand" that he be landed.
Noskowiak: Have only seen one or two posters say that he should be passed on. Hardly a "demand".
Pierce and Shayok: Ditto on above for Noskowiak.
Juan and Derrick: Nobody made a demand that they be let go. People have said they should only play backups. Hardly a "demand"
JJJ and Taylor: They are important to the team's future. That is common sense--not a demand. Should we all expect that Wojo come in and fire the whole team? That is what you are implying with that "alleged demand"

Would you feel better if we "demand" that Wojo come in, pour a coffee and kick back with his feet on the desk for a few weeks and think about his fat paycheck? That would be a great welcome to the real world.
I thought you were dead. Willie lives rent free in Reekers mind.
