Who would you say was the most important recruit you got come to Marquette and why.

Looking back, which university do you feel supports the men's basketball program better, Marquette or Tennessee?

What did you enjoy better, coaching at the college or pro level?

How would you rate where the Marquette program is now?

Id like to know in hindsight if he feels he made a mistake by leaving

And what were his reasons for leaving when he seemingly had the program rolling pretty well.


Seemingly pretty good questions silverback.  Why in the hell would u come on here n ask fir questions and then turn around and ask one question?  Great guest, thx mac, crappy questions tho.

Kevin, is Norm the 'serious guy' in  the office who thinks the other guys are "immature jerks" or is he merely a humorless, unimaginative guy who asks insipid questions?

Was there any amount of success he could've had in that 93 appearance or the 94 run that could've kept him at MU? Especially with the hindsight of them getting into CUSA and then the Big East?

When KO asked if he could dribble, the old man whipped out his saliva ejector tube.  Even KO thought that was a little odd and so he cooled on the kid.

If the job is somehow open next year, would he come back

What's different coaching elite basketball today vs. 20 years ago

Is it possible to run a 100% clean program, and what are the advantages / disadvantages?

Outside of the blue bloods - what's the best coaching job in college basketball?

Jim could probably lead into this question, but what was it like at that time opening the 90-91 season at Duke with the three freshmen? In some ways, I find it interesting my MU college life bookended with losses to the Blue Devils, but when you take everything that happened in the four years in between, is it easier to look back on the journey and go, "Yeah, it was pretty good..."?

Rocket Surgeon: Marq'd Men (www.marqdmen.com) is a men's lifestyle podcast Jim Mcilvaine (who you all know) and John Scott Lewinski (www.johnscottlewinski.com) do a couple of times a month as topics fall and guests become available. We record it all over the place as the only person who travels more for work than Jim is John.

We're always open to topics, questions and suggestions.
