Was Moser not interested?

[Clam Crowder]

I swear after today I'll stop posting in response to this type of idiocy where people look at a single number and say Moser's teams are "boring" without actually watching them play. Possessions may take longer to play out, but the off-ball movement and cohesive team creativity on every one of them is light years ahead of what Wojo or Shaka put on the court in terms of "exciting offense." Boring was watching 4 guys stand around while Markus took fadeaway 25 footers against a double team. Boring (tragic more like it) was watching Shaka's Texas team turn the ball over non-stop against a press that everyone and their mother knew was coming and got dissected easily the very next game. Moser's teams are *not* boring if you actually watch them play as opposed to looking at a single stat on a sheet of paper.

Idiocy is looking at statistical facts and then forming an opinion that is counter to those facts and calling someone else an idiot for citing them....Literally multiple years of that stat and their PPG....I dont want to watch Wisconsin basketball-Sure I know its successful but I dont care for the boring brand of basketball that the statistics clearly show is played by Loyola.

The guy who uses "By your astound logic" calling someone else a moron?

Are you a moron too?? Or just unaware of the English language?

I'd rather not turn this thread into something that exposes your overall intelligence. But yeah, let me know and we can get the lesson rolling.

Haha I have watched 50+ UW games over the past few years and 10+ Loyola games this year alone. If you look at the numbers and think the two are the same, that's on you for showing your whole ass. They are not the same systems.

Wow, congratulations! I showed my whole ass? On where-do you want my only fans link??? its free...DM me if interested brother. I never said they were the same systems....I just find Shaka's system to be far more enjoyable and much more closely aligned to the brand of basketball Scholl cited when Wojo was fired.

WRT Moser...who cares.

We have our new coach.

hell yeah, brother

Yep. I would have been fine with Moser. I think he's a very good coach who would have been able to succeed at Marquette. But he's not our coach, so who cares?

[Coleman]

Not true. There are always back channel communications with his people. Bill had a good idea which way the wind was blowing.

This is so risky. I'm not saying it can't or doesn't happen, but one whif of it from the press or your players and morale tanks and the run can be jeopardized.

You can't show interest when your team is playing in a Sweet 16 and has a legitimate path to a Final Four. Especially when you are sitting in a bubble in Indy.

Those discussions are for after your team is done playing.

Timing certainly came into play with this decision. But Shaka is a good hire.

Yeah this is completely wrong.  He was very much in the mix, very much interested in taking this job, and Scholl went with his guy instead.
Simple as that.

[Norm]

Yep

Wow. Bummer in my opinion. Much preferred Moser over Smart.

Hope I'm wrong.

[PhillyWarrior]

I'd rather have NCAA tourney success playing less exciting basketball than flame out in the first round like Shaka Smart does.

Exactly.  Slow but methodical and VERY fundamentally sound...something MU fans haven't seen for YEARS

Its unbelievable what some criticize when it is very successful
