2pm presser tomorrow

[mr.MUskie]

They want to kill the Shaka and Howland rumors..

Why? What purpose does that serve? Lowering expectations?

[mr.MUskie]

They will either announce the new coach at the presser or will cancel it. It is a placeholder.

Of course. Kinda like Cords decision to omit Warriors on the mascot ballot

[Blackhat]

They want to kill the Shaka and Howland rumors..

What purpose does that serve??...."we struck out on our top two guys so stop talking about them..expect worse".

Who announces that?

[Groin_pull]

Quite the impact hire...

Where did Martin's name come from??? Suddenly, Wardle and Jeter are looking pretty good.

Not sure why this surprises anyone- while you can question the rationale for actually calling a presser, the reasons why one would make sense, It seems to be many folks opinion that MU has been hampered in its ability to sign a coach because it did not have a pres or AD; they moved up the pres announcement to address that, but it's clearly speculation at this point any deals were contingent on doing so; in all likelihood they did it just to get back some semblance of cred; I hope they have something close, but I think it's more likely at this point they are still searching

[Jet915]

This is a horrible idea, if they are gonna have a presser to say they are still searching, it means Shaka said no and that Howland asked for too much money.  Don't announce anything until you have a coach.  Dumbo move.

You know, there are a lot of challenges that we face.  Whether it's waking up early in the morning or hitting more that 45% of your free throws, life can be difficult.  I'm confident in the process we're going through, and the relationships people have at Marquette with any possible coaching candidates

[SWARM!]

We've officially reached out to Cuonzo. No analysis..just information.

I hope it's a smokescreen. I really do.

Best first post ever due to username.

Great, a guy who was on the hot seat not long ago, then managed to make the play-in game coming out of a bad conference. 

[Milwarriorkee]

Marquette admin bungle potential just went up to lvl 100.

The Martin rumor makes me Ill.

[tower912]

maybe he can bring Jeronne home with him.   (Yes, I know he has exhausted his eligibility)

How were you able to keep it in your mouth?

This is so disappointing. I understand things take time, but this whole thing has become a cluster on so many levels and no not just on scoop, we have people in the media calling MU in disarray.

Not killing the messengers, but Martin  as coach is hardly aiming high or an impact hire. Its a disappointment and we will lose current recruits and players because of it.  

[Groin_pull]

You could give MU a short list of Red Auerbach, Phil Jackson, and John Wooden...and somehow they'd still end up with Marc Iavaroni.

Success will kiss you in private, but failure will slap you in public.

It would surprise me if we're were reaching out to dead guys.

[Mobot]

Two weeks ago, Martin was considered to be on the hot seat according to this article...

[madtownwarrior]

So know MU will be known for the attempt to close Wisconsin Ave, The Marquette Gold, and the Shaka Con....

reaching out to Martin....   good lord...

If it's a Wardle or Jeter they might as well put out a collection box to collect returned season tickets....

Wouldn't surprise me. That's why it's taking so long. Shortage of clairvoyants.

Holograms are still a maybe, though
