Or imagine one of our high profile recruits not being able to play because the NCAA is hinting that one of our players cheated or got a score that doesn't smell right on the ACT, therefore needing to retake it.

That's happening at Virginia Tech basketball right now with Landers Nolly.  Could be overreach by the NCAA, could be something does smell.  More likely the NCAA wrong here, but no one knows at the moment. It seems MU administration said they don't want to with those types of things anymore, too much controversy that keeps sticking to a coach. That is their call to make, it is still a university athletic department.  He is an amazing coach, but he does seem to find trouble at times that some administrations may feel not worth it.  Va Tech is a football school, a perfect place for coach Williams.

Mr Bernstein,

I cannot help but wonder how high the MU program would soar if Buzz, unshackled from the Scottie and Larry silliness, were still at the helm.

Pilarz had issues at Georgetown Prep; he was an unmitigated disaster at Marquette. I am stunned that he was given the lead role at any university after his inappropriate behavior issues. The Society of Jesus is desperate for clergy, I suppose...

So now we'll change arguments. Not really getting it done, as was stated, but getting to the Tournament...one time more than Wojo has. Given that he was able to take what he wanted from his MU recruiting class plus keep what he wanted from VT's recruiting class when he started that's probably fair since Wojo didn't have those luxuries coming into MU.

Does that guy secretly fund the program and pull all the strings?

If my memory is correct, didn't Coach Williams say the Big East was in trouble?  Would not be as quality a conference as he wanted without football?  Did he not also get in trouble with the administration for some bad publicity from some of his players, and separately his coaches violating some NCAA rules? 

Are you the new Chicos character as you want Wojo gone?  Do you have the same pull as him so it can happen?

Cheekz, you're going to have a painfully busy winter defending Wojo—it seems you've already spent a lot of your Thanksgiving on here. 

But I love you're still promising us a good Buzz scandal. In the meantime, he'll keep taking his #13 team in the country to the NCAAs and beating the best teams in the ACC along the way.

Well kind of.  Va Tech had middling success under Seth Greenburg with a bunch of middle of the pack and NIT births just a few years before Buzz.  It has always been a well funded athletic program.

He has done a very good job there.

As one of poster here whose opinion I value so eloquently said, he'd  rather have Buzz as our coach, with his baggage, than Wojo. At least 10,000 students benefitted from the basketball program's success.

The problem is that sometimes happy needs to be messed with.  And Buzz made some mistakes that required correction.  In retrospect it was clearly an overreaction.

But let's not act like Buzz was a victim here.  Don't fall for that act.

Yep, I was a fan of Buzz but he was wrong about the Big East. Nonetheless, it's simply a fact that he's been doing more with less, at a worse program. It provides a sharp contrast between good coaching and below-average coaching.

Not making the NCAA a tournament would be the break point.

Squeaking in as a 10 or worse seed would be a big cause for concern.

Wojo ain't it.   4 years and 5 games worth of eye test tells me this.   His biggest weakness is coaching, motivating and getting his guys to believe and play better than the individual selves and sadly he obviously doesn't recognize this and hire a assistant that can help (that may actually be his largest weakness - inability to self access).  Don't tell me about what a crappy situation he walked into.   
Facts

1.) Buzz's teamd have preformed better
2.) Ben Howland's teams have performed better
3.) Shaka's teams have performed better
4.) Both Hurley boys teams have performed better
5.) Cuonzo Martin teams performed better.

We chose poorly.

Hindsight's 20/20

1) Buzz left on his own volition.
2) I was team Howland when we were hiring
3) Shaka rejected us
4) Dan Hurley was 60-62 at that point, Bobby Hurley was 19-10
5) Cuonzo had issues at California before bolting, it would've been no different at MU.

This whole idea that we chose Wojo out of those candidates is faulty logic. Maybe two of them would've been legit candidates at the time and one of those would've been out the door again

Shaka's first few years they performed better?   Really?

Ben Howland, zero NCAA appearances in first three years of his new job.  Went to NIT last year, did not go as far as Marquette. Had trouble at UCLA with kids and NCAA.

Cuonzo Martin is 3-2 this year, including two double digit losses to Iowa State and Kansas State.  He stayed at Cal for three years and his last year at Cal was worse than his 2nd year.  Everyone knew he was not long for Cal and would not be long for MU, which is one of the reasons we took a pass on him.

Bobby Hurley zero NCAA tournament wins, isn't that the knock on Wojo?  His one NCAA appearance was a First Four where they were knocked out.  His Pac 12 tournament results are 1-3.    Two of his first three seasons were losing records. 

Buzz zero NCAA tournament wins in 4 years.  Isn't that one of the knocks on Wojo?

I would suggest strongly cheering for a different program.  Marquette isn't going to start football, and thus the world is coming to an end for MU hoops then.  No one will be happy.  If Buzz is correct and you agree with him, why would any great coach come here?

They wouldn't.  So buckle up and either get on board, or cheer for someone else, because according to you and Buzz, the BE is finished and can't do any better, and any coach worth a damn won't be here.  Right?

Well, in the last two years, two of the Big East's top coaches in Holtmann and Mack have departed for greener pastures.  We need to hope like hell Wright doesn't bolt for the NBA, he's an icon for the conference right now and losing him would be very damaging.  If guys like Cooley, Ewing, McDermott, and Mullin can build brands and Butler and Xavier stay solid despite the coaching changes, we'll be okay.  If that doesn't happen, the conference will be in trouble.  A lot's hanging in the balance these next 2-3 years.

So what you're saying is if our good programs fall off and our bad programs don't rise and take their place the BE is in trouble?

This is the kind of analysis herman cain usually provides.

Chicos sarcastically stated in his last post that "no coach worth a damn will want to be here."  If he was referring to the Big East as a whole and not just Marquette, he might be right.  Two of the conference's top coaches have left in the last two years and we look like a two bid league this year.  But we don't have anything to worry about, because as you've said many times, "We got our guy."

Two bids? I'll take the over on that

I'll put a wager down on over/under being 2.5 bids for the BE. I'll take the over. Already have a bet with Lenny for 1 year self ban if Kansas (he's banned) or Duke (I'm banned) wins the title. You in for a year break from Scoop if the BE gets 3+ bids?

Why are your shrinking away from making a call on this year's MU team.  Sweet 16 or not?

I'll take "no," and you can have "yes" that we make a Sweet 16 - loser takes a year off Scoop.  However, this is an additional year beyond your bet with Lenny's.

You've been the biggest f'in loudmouth about how great Boy Wonder is and to respect the process.  Surely you think by Year 5 at the helm he can lead us to a Sweet 16, right?

Hell no I'm not taking that bet.  You'll want me around during baseball season, wades.  I probably hate the Cubs more than you do.

Shaka's first few years they performed better?   Really?

Ben Howland, zero NCAA appearances in first three years of his new job.  Went to NIT last year, did not go as far as Marquette. Had trouble at UCLA with kids and NCAA.

Cuonzo Martin is 3-2 this year, including two double digit losses to Iowa State and Kansas State.  He stayed at Cal for three years and his last year at Cal was worse than his 2nd year.  Everyone knew he was not long for Cal and would not be long for MU, which is one of the reasons we took a pass on him.

Bobby Hurley zero NCAA tournament wins, isn't that the knock on Wojo?  His one NCAA appearance was a First Four where they were knocked out.  His Pac 12 tournament results are 1-3.    Two of his first three seasons were losing records. 

Buzz zero NCAA tournament wins in 4 years.  Isn't that one of the knocks on Wojo?

My knock on Wojo is that the team continues to have the make the same fundamental errors in year 5 as in year 1.  I see the players potential, but I don't see it with Wojo as coach.   He doesn't know how to teach and he can't motivate.   It's not going to change miraculously.

Since you apparently made a poll about simply making the NCAA Tournament this year (that nobody but you saw) I'll take that bet.

I wouldn't bet a year on Duke making the S16.  And I think Duke is significantly better than Marquette.

Not to mention, we've seen how you and bannings play out.  How many different screennames is this now?

That's part of college basketball.  Players come and go.  In Buzz's last year at Marquette, why were we making errors we shouldn't have?  Because players come and go, this isn't the NBA. 

34.5% of the minutes played on Wednesday night were by players that didn't wear a Marquette uniform last year.  This is why you don't judge teams this early. Some come out needing to hit their stride, and do later. Others are ready to go at the start, and fade latter half of the season. The special teams go wire to wire.

If you are referring to me, then you have the wrong name. 

Two bid league?  The conference is ranked 5th right now.  Minimum 3 bids, probably 4 to 5.  We aren't even in December yet.  Get a grip. 

The level of despair from some of you is astounding.
