I'm waiting for MUTV to weigh in on this one.
Sounds pretty accurate. If so, please cancel.
What a useless exercise.

Agree completely. What a waste of everyone's time to come out and say nothing. CANCEL
My expectations are a cluster f*ck and I expect that we'll get one
Hit the button. Do it. Do it.

Announce himself as AD for the rest of this year and all of next year?
Cancel it. Send us an email with those non-details and call it a day then.
I predict Cords will announce the time and location of the women's hoops awards banquet.

Has any high-major college basketball school done anything like this before? This just seems so purposeless.

SLU
Cottingham did that when they hired BW.. 8-)
Really, the only thing that this news conference will accomplish is greater speculation, which the admin is seemingly trying to avoid. If you don't have to talk, don't. #law101.

I dunno, I've relied on the "talk until you confuse the issues" plan of action a few times.

Oh trust me, there's no confusing issues on this board. Everyone will always have an answer, and for the hell of it, a source.
this is what will actually be said:
1) We gotta play 'em one day at a time.
2) I'm just happy to be here. Hope I can help the ballclub.
3) I just want to give it my best shot, and the good Lord willing, things will work out.

Then he'll miss the point. What people really want to know is what to get Millie for her wedding gift.
Will the presser be streamed? Or will 540 pick it up?
Why have the presser when they can just have this...

Wake Forest did something similar about a day or two ago.
Is the presser streamed? Audio/video?

No one seems to know, so I am guessing not, unfortuantely.

All they need to do is issue a statement. A press conference with nothing to announce is not the best idea.....

People seem to keep thinking that Marquette doesn't have things that are important to talk about. Well, the women's basketball banquet isn't gonna entertain itself!

I really don't unless they have a major announcement. But it doesn't really help anything by saying what everyone already know. It's a waste of people's time in that regard. Moreso just disappointing if nothing is being finalized and raises more speculation as to who and what is going on.

Are you sure there could possible be anymore speculation than there already is?

Guess I meant to say it just keeps the speculation circulating.
did anyone let CBS58 know about the presser?

Not having a coach keeps the speculation circulating. Might as well have a nice talk about it. Plus, maybe they'll have refreshments.

Couldn't disagree more. My guess is these guys are getting more phone calls and requests for comment than they know what to do with...most of which I assume are going completely ignored. If anything it is being more respectful of everyone's time and effort to say a big. "no comment, we'll let you know as soon as something develops, but in the meantime, we will have nothing more to say until then." Let them ask some questions, provide some BS answers, etc.,and let everyone go on their way, making it clear the will be nothing talked about until there is something to talk about.

Hey, if you have the eyes of the state on you, you might as well use the opportunity to plug anything you want more awareness of.

My personal opinion is that I would just rather them issue a statement than have a press conference. They could accomplish just as much. Just personal preference. Maybe there is a big announcement. I doubt it. But you never know.
Remember, this is being billed as a "press availability," not "press conference."
Essentially, it'll be an informal event in which Cords will make himself available to take questions in one place at one time, instead of dealing with numerous phone calls throughout the day.
Necessary? Probably not.
Hiroshima? No.
Excuse for people to criticize the administration? Yes.

that would make sense if IWB held the presser
Cord's describes process:
Phase 1: Collect underpants
Phase 2: ?
Phase 3: Hire new coach/Profit
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/dd/Gnomes_plan.png)
This may also be an indication that the hiring of a new coach is a way's off. Doubt they'd do this today and announce a new coach tomorrow.
