Maybe. But for a lease a few days you folks are going to be civil to each other, or else!

BTW, there are several ways to have the same effect as RCs post without calling someone a "dumbass"

I am surprised how sour many of the folks on the board have become, especially during a great run of basketball.  It seems to be a lot of the sourness is from long term grudges, some dating back to the politics board.

I hate to see the mods need to get involved, but I think a show of force with public shaming for many of us is warranted.

Maybe I should give more warnings. 82 already got a vacation. This counts as insult / disrespect. Don't do it, or you too can get a vacation.

Not to mention, that was on a 2015 comment!

It's no wonder that everyone's moral compass has been screwed up lately.  We've been rooting for Lousiville, and in a couple weeks time we'll have to root for Cincinnati.  That's enough to throw off anyone's psyche.

Jaysus. 3 weeks ago a historic collapse was about the only thing that could revive this thread. Well done Wojo, you truly are the king of mediocre.

2 NCAA wins can still salvage this, but that’s looking like a big order.

Well. A 4 game L streak to close out the year to erase all positive mojo from this year

Wojo has no mojo

We’re stuck with Wojo now. He has slightly improved the program with no scandals. If it was less than 5 years, he significantly improved the program he inherited from the Buzz double doink final season.
We will be Top 10 next year.  And we have the potential for a Top 10 2020 recruiting season. The admin fully supports him.
I’m guessing he gets a slight bonus increase with 3 years, all based on next years performance and recruiting. Need this to support the  incoming class. Sad that 5 years  later we are still wondering if the current leadership can take us to the consistent Top 20 level

We should drop out of the Big East and disband the basketball program.

I think if people proposed a 23-8 season, second place in the BE and a BE record of 12-6, Most people would have signed up.  Now the fact that we lost 4 in a row absolutely sucks, especially losing the BE title like we did.
So given how well our recruiting is going, the upward trajectory makes me content that we have good things ahead.  This team has flaws especially at PG, Markus is a 2.  I am happy with the season and how it went, especially after the IU game. 
With greg, koby and possibly symir here next year, i feel good about our situation at the 1 going forward.
Slide Markus to the 2 and have him play 10-15 minutes a game at the 1.
Provided hes doing ok there and we will be much better next year.  This years experiences, good n bad, will pay huge dividends next year. 
Political free board, plz leave your clever quips in your clever mind.

Officially off the Wojo bandwagon after yesterday. I'm not calling for his firing but I no longer believe he's a coach that can get us to the next step.

I'd compare Wojo to a salesman who hits 80-90% of quota every month. That's decent enough where no manager is going to fire that individual but it's consistently frustrating and that person will never take the next step.

I think let him finish with Markus and Sam next year, worst case we make a second tournament appearance and bow out right away then we depart from Wojo. best case everyone puts it together and we can extend wojo a bit.

Avery Johnson being bought out after 4 years.   A non basketball school with a high profile ex NBA guy as a coach.  Why aren’t they giving him another year?  Year five will be the year.  If he doesn’t get it done then I’ll be ready to cut bait.  I promise.

I don't know what the Wojo contract looks like, in terms of years left or a buyout provision.  MU is not the type to be able to throw millions at someone to leave.  In fact, with Crean and Buzz, it would seem they actually came out ahead, financially.

So, since (1) Wojo is not exactly a hot commodity for the UCLA's of the world, (2) MU is not going to pay millions for him to leave, and (3) there is no obvious successor, MU and Wojo are stuck with each other.

Next year, on this date, one of the above factors will change.

So no is a really nice guy.  Loves his team. He's a great recruiter.  But, he is not a very good coach.  Too often he doesn't seem to prepare the team for opponents.  And, he doesn't coach well during games.  He doesn't make adjustments to win.  He made a huge mistake sitting his top scorer on the bench for four minutes in the first half.  He "cooled off" Markus for the game.
