...is the fact that there was no mention -- unless I really missed it -- of God by Wojo in the presser. I often felt that Buzz leveraged the God-thing way too much as a way of brightening up and extending his own aura of penitence and wisdom. In short, it grew tiresome and insincere after a while. I also admit that I largely didn't care what Buzz did just as long as he was helping MU win games. Would I have called out Buzz's invocation of God during the elite 8 last year? Probably not. Fact remains that Wojo's presser was short, sweet, and -- by all indications -- sincere. I also don't get the impression that Wojo's enamored by the sound of his own voice...unlike Buzz.

Couldn't agree more. Usually those who speak of God the most, follow Him the least.
Or tweet about him? ;D I hate to engage in ethnic or religious generalities, but it has been my experience that those raised in an evangelical tradition and or community drop 'God' into their casual conversations more frequently than do cradle Catholics.
I was just glad to not hear "...and that's how it is in life" after the end of every dialogue. Glad he expressed opinions on coaching, rather than acting as a foremost authority on all the facts of life.
Personality Differences
Wojo and Buzz in the same Bar -
Wojo is the owner
Buzz is the pool shark running the back room

Where's Deane? Is he mopping the bathroom while nibbling on a urinal cake?

Deane is the guy in line outside that the bouncer wont let in because they are full. Yet at the same time the bouncer lets in Tom Crean and Kevin Oniel.
Let me guess, Dukiet is the piano player?
It wouldn't have bothered me a bit if he thanked God at the presser. But one thing I did notice, and that I really liked, is he seems like an all-business guy. I get the impression that he's about teaching and winning, and the "life lessons" are learned through basketball. Not through quotes, verse, parables, or prayer sessions.
Maybe this is just new hire optimism speaking, but I get the sense that the returning players will really like the change in tone.

No, Deane's the regular who doesn't appear to work, has "his" bar stool, and repeats the same, tired story through slurred speech and numerous variations. The only time he ever gets off "his" stool is to make desperate, pathetic passes at attractive women 25 years his junior. After getting rebuffed yet again he retreats to "his" stool muttering a stream of obscenities about women in general and her in particular.

That would seem appropriate. His personality fits that to a tee. Let's Recap:
Al - Bartender (allowed to drink behind the bar)
Wojo - Bar Manager/Owner
Buzz - Pool Shark running scams in the Back Room Pool Hall
Deane - Drunkard who keeps Al company during late morning hours into the late afternoon
We need to find roles for the following:
Bob Dukiet - suggested role is piano player so far
Tex Winter - I would say.... bookkeeper.
Rick Majerus -
Kevin O'neill -
Hank Raymonds -
Tom Crean - possibility of owning a tanning salon/spa next door to the bar
Let me know your thoughts on what role these coaches play in the MU bar.
Rick Majerus the cook?

Didn't Al's dad own a bar, where he worked for years? I believe his job was dishwasher. Bartender probably fits better.

No, Crean's the too smarmy salesman who is always pushing for investment in his latest get-rich-quick scheme. He visits the bar to and from the tanning salon, not because he has friends there or even likes to drink, but because he knows people are more likely to say yes after a few drinks.

Is he the chick in the green T-shirt walking around trying to sell discounted cigarette cartons? That chick can get annoying fast.

There needs to be a law office nearby with lots of female attorneys who stop in from time to time. Female attorneys with shapely buttocks who stop in from time to time.
Hank Raymonds would be the kindly former owner of the bar who stops by occasionally to say hello.
Here's Crean, tee-teetotaler that he is:

Never been on twitter. Just read what is posted here.
I see Crean in the strip-club DJ role. Constantly reminding you what club you are in and why it is the best all while spinning some AC\DC tracks.

Deane is the regular at the end of the bar telling the same stories with a stack of singles in front of him for the bartender to take for his bill as he plows through beers.
While wearing his sunglasses. Indoors.

Nary a word about the Lord from I4 while he was at MU, at least in public.
Putting out bible verses and retweeting Joyce Meyer as soon as he got to IU.
Granted, twitter wasn't around when he was at MU, but still.
When you get the roles figured out, can someone please make a "dogs playing cards"-like print of our former coaches?

RECAP of the MU Bar - Personality Roles
Deane:
It seems Deane's personality has risen to that of a drunken, womanizer who begins his consumption approximately around 11 am, continuing through 5-6pm. Women coming for a quick, happy hour cocktail, from the adjacent law offices, are his prime target. Although, he's content with whatever walks through the doors at times. Al, being cognizant and sharp witted, keeps a tally of all the women that get "Deaned". Each week there are bets on how many notches will be etched onto a white board.
Tom Crean - Showboat salesman, that comes into the bar to sell trinkets during happy hour. Typically, he comes right after tanning at the salon across the street. Extra cranberry juice is stocked behind the bar as Crean does not drink any alcohol. Al, being witty again, is known to start up the deep fryer or fire up a pizza to extinguish the tanning vapors that Crean excretes with every sales pitch.
So far it seems Deane has been a fan favorite with his womanizing and drinking. If you could supply some more ideas for the coaches below, it'd be much appreciated... and humorous for all.
Al - Bartender (allowed to drink behind the bar)
Wojo - Bar Manager/Owner
Buzz - Pool Shark running scams in the Back Room Pool Hall
Bob Dukiet - suggested role is piano player so far
Tex Winter - I would say.... bookkeeper.
Rick Majerus - Cook/Chef? Minnesota Fats?
Kevin O'neill -
Hank Raymonds -

Hank loved to gamble on the dogs in Kenosha. I saw and talked to him many times there.
I just read this entire thread laughing my ass off. My question is, how many people were picturing Heggarty's as the bar the entire time?
Rick Majerus is the guy that only shows up on 25 cent wing night
Haha, great thread.
I picture KO being the stressed-out sales guy that frequents the bar. He's loud, vulgar and abrasive.
Majerus as the bathroom towel dude is priceless but he is also perfect as the short order cook. Either way works. He could be the short order cook who left home with dreams of being a chef. In his frustration he begins draping off his apron string a grimy, soiled towel that everybody mistakes for grease stains. Whenever Crean's salesman orders food he handles everything with 'the towel.'

Hank....Coach
