All I can say is it was from two people that would 100% know. I trust them.

Will second this. There seems to be some disagreement on how far the process actually went, but he definitely listened.

During intros on Saturday, the video board cut to the student section quickly after Wojo was announced, so there were actually more students booing the student section than there was booing Wojo.

They’ve definitely sped up the coach intro in the last few games. Does Wojo acknowledge the students walking out? I remember that being a cool think with Crean and Buzz. However, the set up of the Fiserv probably doesn’t allow that.

Student on student booing? Love it, considering the west student seats were only two thirds full at intros (but filled in to 90% after tip).

So the audible boos I heard in section 109 during the Wojo introduction were actually a second level booing by students for the students that were on the video board who were initially booing Wojo?

Crean definitely did it, that was one of his big things.  Not sure about Buzz.  I’ve never seen Wojo do it, but the set up to Fiserv certainly would allow it, especially with students sitting on both sides.  Probably a little late for him to start at this point, though.  Especially since there’s no home games left!

Hey - everyone's a critic. I guess that was redeem with March Success but that's only because in my mind there is no way anyone would keep him on after two epic end of seasons collapses if he loses out including BET and NCAA.

In my mind there is no way anyone outside of a blue blood (or Texas) would fire him after making the NCAA tournament, especially a second consecutive NCAA tournament.

If Wojo loses the next 4 games, he will not be fired. He won't be extended either.

I don't think it will happen, but going 2-14 to finish two consecutive seasons when you have an all-american on the roster would be pretty abysmal.

“Do nothing. Revisit next season.” The mantra during Wojo’s tenure.

If we happen to lose 3 of our next 4...it’s time to move on.

It's the mantra of most coaches. Most offseasons don't end in an extension or firing. Most end in do nothing.

You can say that all you want, but you are asking Marquette to do something that only one other non-blue blood has done in at least a decade (I think it's actually a lot longer but haven't checked). And that one school that did watched the former coach lead his next team to a 1 seed while their sexy new coach led them downward.

Does it matter if Barnes is struggling right now?
