On the Doug Gottleib show today: http://cbsprt.co/1eWFM0W
He said that he would love the team to slap the floor. Wants it to be their idea, not his. Wants it to mean that they appreciate and desire to do well on defense.
I love it!
Yeah, and then everyone will start hating us just like they hate Duke. With that being said, I would be ok with some obnoxious floor slapping, so long as we can back it up.

That'd be ok with me. People didn't hate Duke because they slapped the floor, they hated Duke because they whipped their asses.
If it helps get defensive stops they can skip around like little girls for all I care.

It was just a couple years ago we were slapping the floor. You all have short memories.
As soon as the clamor against floor slapping arose here, the bride exclaimed "our guys used to do it."
If I ever sit courtside again, I may slap the floor AND jeer at the opposition (my imprecations are usually reserved for the officials, whose ways I cannot fathom).
Guys, remember that Wojo is from Duke...he wants the players to slap the floors with their backs

+1...for effort. -10 for trying to rip our coach.
Somewhere David Cubillan is wishing he had eligibility left
Clearly Gottlieb know nothing about Marquette. 75%+ of the interview was questions about Duke.

How does he feel about the slapping of five? That's THE question we need answered.

I4 used the floor slapping early on in his tenure.
What I hate about floor slapping is that somehow it makes it worse when the other team scores after you've done it.

One of a long line of examples of his complete lack of originality/creativity. And that's not even getting into the choice of things to rip off...

Yeah, this.
Wojo doesn't need to slap the floor anymore nor does anyone on the team. Wojo's Pimp Hand is stronger now, than it ever has been. The sheer intimidation of it will echo in the minds of opponents much longer than any slap to the court. Madison Square Garden will be lucky that he doesn't slap it. He'd it so hard that he'd knock the tradition right of it. Big East Beware ....
