Start it now, why not ? Poor discipline. Poor coaching. Jacking up 3 pointers. Poor defense. No accountability. Another year of disappointment. Another year of poor defense against 3, poor interior defense and poor shooting. That's it ! How many millions does MU spend on BBall ?
I don't see the fire in Wojo that I remember when he was a tough, top notch Duke PG. Kevin O'Neill had fire from Day 1, when we were at our lowest after years of incompetence. Sure, I understand he was 'improper' at times. And I understand Wojo has the youngest team around (as O'Neill had against Duke). But damn, show some fire. (Afraid you may screw up your future dream job ?) Duane needs a kick up the butt. jJJ needs to go to Div 3. We lost by 30 which could have been 50 ..make a point!

Just ignore this asswipe. Let this be the last response to it.
If a coach making a Top 10 salary from a Top 30 all time college BBall program can't recruit or motivate players to beat or at least compete in their first/second year against IUPUI, NJIT, Belmont, then I think it's fair to question his ability to do the job.
Stupid, stupid thread. Delete it now. We are so young and inexperienced. Patience, rookies. In a year or two, we'll be playing as well as Iowa did, only we have much superior talent.
I have not liked Wojo from the start and part of that was that I could not stand him when he was Duke's point guard. One of my most disliked players of all time and it was like "you got to be kidding me" when MU hired him. The team is young and last night's game reminded me of the game when Harris, Cordell and company were freshmen and UW came in and destroyed the team in the first half. I actually left that game at halftime and then vowed I would not leave a game early again. I was there at the final buzzer last night. One of the things that really disturbs me, which I think will be the real downfall of MU basketball, is the number of fans attending a game. It really hurts me to look up and see all of those empty seats. I am not sure who we should blame the empty seats on. However, with the home games being on TV a lot of people are not going to spend money to come to the games. I want to be optimistic and realistic (the team is very young), but I do not believe Wojo is going to succeed. However, I think he should be given at least four years. This is his first head coaching job and when you hire a first time coach you owe him enough time to learn on the job.
