There is something positive to be said for a coach who does not ask his players to execute plays in a game they have not practiced. It appears to me that our team had not installed plays to deal with either the full court press or the zone. Furthermore, we did not have a serviceable press to use against OSU.(at least we had some inbound plays)It probably took a lot of serious practice time to get the man defence working.Back in my day coach Wooden would never ask his team to run plays they had not practiced.Last night I watched Buzz design plays on the fly against Tarleton State (part of the Texas A & M system), for better or worse, it is just his style. Last point, sitting a player who is frustrated is a good move. On the otherhand, some coaches would let the player play thru the frustration. What is the next part to be installed? A few plays against a zone? A press of our own? This year we might end the season on a positive note rather than a downer.At least Wojo now has the parts to compete. First things first.
He has said that they have primarily practiced defense and have not spent a lot of time in offense. Reminiscent of Buzz. And the defense has been much improved.
In Wojo's defense, the players (particularly guards) are not good at 3PT shots or free throws.
We’re in year 7 and the evidence is in: Good recruiter but a mediocre coach at his best, and likely a bit below average. We don’t need to speculate anymore—he’s proven he’s not equipped to take us to the promised land (whether that be a title or consistent S16 appearances). Why are we ok with this?
I see this a lot, but who recruited those cats who can't shoot?
Let's say we are not "ok with this."What do you suggest we do?
At the very least, keep calling out slurpery and BS on places like this message board.
Keep holding him accountable on here and Twitter and other places on the internet.
Cancel your season tickets and stop going to games. That will really get the attention of the athletic department.
Wojo was already getting booed at home games. That would’ve continued this season.
That will have zero impact on Wojo's job statusThat will have zero impact on Wojo's job statusThat would have impact on Wojo's job status. But not this year (no fans)That's just poor form. Don't do that.Want to have your voice heard? This is the guy to contact. Send him an email, leave a voicemail. All his contact info is right there! https://gomarquette.com/staff-directory/bill-scholl/2
Yep, I understand that criticizing Wojo on the internet will have zero impact on his job status. But I, and others, will continue to do it anyway if it's warranted. You believe that happy crappy?
Why are you stealing lines from a Stephen King book?
At the very least, keep calling out slurpery and BS on places like this message board. Keep holding him accountable on here and Twitter and other places on the internet. Want to have a bigger impact? Cancel your season tickets and stop going to games. That will really get the attention of the athletic department. Wojo was already getting booed at home games. That would’ve continued this season.Aside from cancelling season tickets and withholding donations, there is not much the fans can do besides complain on the internet. But at least that’s something, and people close to the program (including possibly Wojo himself) do read these boards.
Okey dokey. Even though, as rocky says, none of this will impact anything, enjoy!
So what’s the point in talking about anything on here then? Recruiting, mlb, nba, etc. Isn’t the point of a forum to discuss opinions, share information, etc?
I think holding Wojo accountable on Twitter (in a non-personal / overly derogatory or explicit manner) would have an affect on his job status. If you disagree, just look at the 45th POTUS, who practically governs through Twitter. Social media is a powerful tool and Scholl, BOT, et al are not blind to what people are saying. Especially in the replies to official MU tweets. The MU YouTube page turned off comments to the public near the end of the season last year. We can all speculate why.
Down 1 w 5 seconds left. Doable.
I'll stick with my opinion on Gold. He'll be in foul trouble within the first eight minutes.
Do you have an issue with this? I don't really understand your point. I don't live and breathe MU ball, but from November to March, it's one of my favorite things to think about. Game days are always a little more exciting--I'll be at work or talking to a friend and all of a sudden I'll think, "Hey, there's a game tonight!" and it'll make me a little happier. I try my absolute best to watch every game on TV, and attend a few per season if possible. I made that suggestion about not showing up to games, but the truth is, I'm not strong enough to do that. I'll always go if I can because I love the experience of watching a college basketball game in person. There's nothing like it.No one at work or in any of my social circles gives a damn about Marquette basketball. I'm just some random a$$hole who's not rich or famous, so I'm not going to email Bill Scholl, because my opinion doesn't really matter. But I enjoy coming onto this site and engaging in debate about the state of the program. I've been a fan of MU ball for decades, so even though I'm not one of the amatuer "experts" on this board (of which we all know there are a few) I do have a pretty solid foundation of knowledge on the subject and like interacting with other passionate fans. So yes, I will enjoy, thank you very much.
