I don't think I'm alone in this because I've seen others mention it, but I find Wojo's huddles when they have a mic on him to be at the same level as 8th grade basketball. He's always hoarsely screaming super generic things like:
"We have to play together."
"Defense will win this game."
"We can't trade baskets."
Meanwhile, over in Jay Wright's huddle, he's saying things like, "Rowsey is looking to shoot off the pick, so you have to hedge farther than usual. Make him beat us off the dribble." Like actually offering specific direction to his players, something they can execute on. And it's not just Jay, it's most other coaches that we get to listen in on.
To me, it's like night and day, and I see this every game. Overall I like Wojo and think he has us headed in the right direction (I'm expecting big things next year), but I have always questioned his in-game strategy to some extent, and watching his huddles only exacerbates my concern.

FS1 will be receiving phone calls from Villanova if they're airing Jay Wright discussing game strategy in national television.
Well, I guess they're at least slightly more useful than Georgia's huddles
https://www.youtube.com/v/FVZDLoOZZak?rel=0
I agree 100%. It would be much better for Wojo to wait until he knew the cameras were on him and then say, if "Let's run our super secret play where we look like we are setting up a screen, but really..."

Not only that, I understand they don't practice free throws.
I know the intelligencia is making fun of this .. but I agree with the OP. It's not just a few huddles .. it's every huddle ever broadcast. I do not believe he's tempering his huddles only when the camera is on. Camera is there a lot, sometimes on, sometimes not.
It's all just a bunch of platitudes. It makes me wonder what the players are thinking .. "There he goes again, yeah, yeah, rah rah, play harder, play smarter, good huddle coach, really helpful."
I noted the huddles a couple of years ago, and was mocked for stating that my wife an mother in law were laughing at how bad it was. I actually look forward to the pearls shared in the huddle. Plus my 24y son does a great impression of the "chalk talk". What makes it better, he likes to use the Wojo huddle talk in everyday life.
You should note that usually when they show him giving the little rah, rah speech, it is followed by him grabbing a marker board...and the camera cuts out. Do the players get tired of the platitudes? Who knows. However the idea that this is the entirety of his instructions during timeouts is pretty short-sighted.
Some leagues give the teams permission to review before the content is distributed, Not sure what the NCAA / Big East agreement is right now. I did notice during Maui that one of our opponents huddle shot was much more of a coaching moment than a motivational moment.
It may very well be that Wojo censors all of that.

If you watch an NBA game, it's the exact same stuff. I don't think it's a matter of anyone tempering it for the cameras. I take it as a quick reset or point of focus before getting into the detailed info. It's just that is the only stuff TV can show.
We are getting only one or two timeouts a game. Maybe the timeout they show is the only one with extended amount of non-strategy talk.
How is this seriously a topic again?
I'm at work, on my phone, or I'd link to the dozens of examples of college and NBA TV huddles that look/sound just like wojo. Zero strategy/specifics/details given while the camera is turned on.

exactly.
Can someone with seats near the bench record the next huddle not on camera so we can shut this down? Or at least vouch that it's not just a rah rah talk every time
Why don't they ever show the huddles when Wojo calls for a timeout after a third consecutive defensive breakdown?
Whether it's all platitudes or specific in-game tactics, the result of timeouts and huddles seems to be disappointing far too often. My wife, who is not the biggest basketball fan, has said several times "that's what they came up with in the timeout?!" and I have to agree. The most glaring example was the in-bound play with one second left in the exhibition, but there have been plenty of these forehead smacking moments in the Wojo era. He's obviously still learning to think on his feet during the game, but I'd like to see more in-game adjustments that show he's able to note problem areas and fix them on the fly.
Sat behind the bench one time in the KO era, the amount of ass-chewing and profanities that were launched during a timeout (every timeout) was AMAZING! That was a different era of media and tv coverage.
I'm sure Wojo knows when the TV's cameras are on and when they aren't. I'm sure he reviews strategy and diagrams plays like every other basketball coach from middle school to the pros.
Next someone's going to complain that an assistant coach is diagramming a play during a timeout instead of Wojo and that he doesn't know how to improvise a play (offense or defense)....

You know Wojo is aware of the criticism of his huddle speeches. If I were him, I would come up with a standard 10-second spiel that I repeat verbatim every time the cameras are on, just to mess with people.

The fact that we are STILL talking about "timeout chatter shown on TV" is wild.
It's been established for years in both college and NBA that nothing of value can be aired. We've got bigger fish to fry than critiquing the only audio they can play from Wojo in timeouts.

Yep. Several times this season already, I've been happy with the team's response post-huddle. A couple times I wasn't. I imagine the ratio is similar in other programs.
In the NBA's last game involving the Spurs that I happened to watch, they showed Popovich's huddle for 10 seconds. He said absolutely nothing of value. Ipso fatso, a know-nothing coach!

My favorite was the St. John's game where Chris Mullin sat in the huddle and said absolutely nothing.
Here's a thought - how about we create a "read before you post" thread for newbies with links to all of the things we have discussed ad nauseum over time? It would give them a chance to read some of the responses before they decide to post.
Some suggestions:
"Wojo's huddle"
"Wojo's seat"
"Wojo's ability to retain players"
"Wojo as a demotivator"
"Wojo hates babies and puppies"
;)

Sorry, I saw this post after I commented on the topic about the Eastern Illinois coach's comments in the huddle.
Wojo shouts 3-4?word phrases hoarsely in the huddle. The players are inches away and he yells like a cave man at them. Why doesn't he speak normal and articulate so they can better understand what he is trying to say?
The Xavier and Villanova coaches are much better coaching in the huddle than Wojo. Some one needs to calm him down or take over the huddle coaching.

How dare you question the vaunted eye-test with things like statistics.
My wife can attest to the fact that I laugh at his huddles every single time. He barks out three words, pauses for deep breath and then barks out three more words. They are truly laughable. Not sold on this guy yet...but hopeful nonetheless. Would love to have someone stay long term and build a history at MU. I can understand why the admin likes Wojo and am certainly willing to wait...but not sold.

I forgot that analysis. I always thought Buzz was horrible with time out plays. I think who used inbounds sets to reset the offense versus looking to score off a diagrammed play. Wojo's favorite is the Rowsey curl.

Buzz was horrible on post TO plays. Loved his style, players he recruited and chip on his shoulder, but always thought he was a horrible game coach.

He doesn't, nor ever will, play for Marquette, he was never, nor ever will be, recruited by Marquette, and he hasn't been, and most likely never will be, an opponent of Marquette's. He's as relevant to Marquette basketball as Jakub Petras is.

Yeah this has been brought up each and every time this yearly complaint pops up, but without fail every single year somebody starts a thread complaining that all they hear in the 8 second clip from the 180 second timeout is Wojo yelling, "WE HAVE TO COMPETE!" at his players.

Wojo should just mess with the TV guys whenever they broadcast a huddle. He should just scream. "Score points! Stop the other team from scoring points!" over and over until they turn the cameras off.

This. And then at the end say "the team with the most points is going to win!"

Perfect.
I think that he should tell a quick joke for the cameras.
"You've got a gun with 2 bullets, and Bo Ryan, Charles Manson and Jeffrey Dahmer are standing in front of you. What do you do?"
Blank stare from players.
"Shoot Bo twice!"

Well, yeah. Dahmer and Manson are already dead.

Wood bee solid four Wojo two just drop his drawers, bend over, and blow a kiss at the camera while his huddle is shown live, hey?

This thread or this topic? Did he introduce it by saying "Those idiots on Scoop...."?
If he did say "those idiots on scoop", each of us would agree about everyone else.

Pretty sure next week he's going to ask if wojo can y'all about his favorite Midwest city in the huddle instead
Hopefully next week they talk about Arby's and how terrible Red Deliciius apples are.

This isn't from a huddle, but in yesterday's media discussion about the UW game, Wojo mentioned that Greg leads the team in deflections. I remember this being a big focal point for some of our better defenders in past years (I think Jerel mentioned it a lot), but I don't recall Wojo mentioning it very often. Did I miss something in past pressers, or could this be an indication that he may be focusing more attention on defense now?

Deflections were a major talking point for Crean
with the media. But, remember, this was TC, a guy looking for any angle to promote anything. Tracking deflections was hardily new. Difference is TC started talking to the media about it, thus it seemed revolutionary. It wasn't. I would be shocked to learn a D-1 program that wasn't tracking deflections and stressing it. This includes MU and Wojo prior to this year as well.
Now if Wojo starts talking about paint touches....

How about that huddle today folks?
Protect the paint. And when we get a defensive rebound push it. But be smart.
noticeable..weak...concerning...
Highlight of second half for me. Only time I was not fighting sleep on the couch.
I think we went on our 10-0 run right after that timeout.
What was said?
Wojo has drawn up some outstanding offensive plays out of timeouts the last 2 games. Have had wide open looks in a number of possessions I can remember off the top of my head.
Ok ok, I'm the idiot who dared start this thread. Many of these responses made me laugh. Some of you sure enjoy the entitled clubhouse mentality of this site, like only certain people are worthy of having any insight. But anyway, I have reflected and learned the following:
1. I didn't know there was some rule that outlined what was/wasn't allowed to be shown on TV. OBVIOUSLY they aren't going to show anything that would be advantageous to the other team. But I did find it interesting to know that there are apparently strict guidelines. So thank you.
2. In retrospect, I think my original complaint was coming from more of a place like what others said about him barking at our players like a caveman. Something changed, maybe inspired by the ridicule from this thread, but now I more or less just laugh during his huddles/cuddles.
3. Some of you seem to have gotten entertainment out of this thread, so that's cool.
In conclusion, I acknowledge that this was probably a dumb thing to bring up in the first place. I will go read another 100 past Scoop threads as punishment, and so as to hopefully avoid ever bringing up another dead horse topic.

Yep. Nothing motivates a 19-year-old more than humiliating him on national TV. :)
Apparently, "compete, compete, compete" gets results.
I thought he was over the barking and grunting until this game where he seemed too excited to speak in sentences. Perhaps he should allow an assistant to translate his dogspeak in the huddles.

My wife laughed at that huddle, as did I. And yet when we got back into the game, she said, "Well, they competed."
It was silly coachspeak, of course, but I did like that after he said it generally, he looked each player in the eye and said, "You compete" ... "You compete" ... "You compete." For some reason, that meant a little more to me.
As my wife also noted, "It wasn't as if Jay Wright said something magical in his huddle."
Smart woman. But then she would be, given her choice of mates.
I was her second choice.
Woah a huddle with specific instructions! Wojo is on his game tonight. ?We need to continue driving the ball. When you drive - don?t give up your dribble?
Now this is a happy cuddle

Well, that was pretty much the paraphrase of the Cuddle Report. Wojo was so worked up I actually thought he slurred ball so much that I rewound it. Since this thread is about have fun, I thought others might also.
Thanks for the preach though.
But he never talked about defense. Or stop the layups!
No one enjoyed Wojo talking about chopping wood today? C'mon...that was pretty funny.
So how were they yesterday? Was at the game. But did he say enough "Good stuff" during them or is this still a fireable offense?
I did hear that his quote before overtime was "this is amazing, you are going to win this game in overtime".
That's a confidence statement.
Watched the DVR. During one he says, "Sell out for your teammates." And Sam jumps in and screams "Sell out man! Sell out!"
I noticed he was smiling as we went into the last timeout. I am not sure I had ever seen that before.
